Infortar's sales volume grew by one-third in the third quarter, reaching 468 million euros, EBITDA amounted to 105 million euros, and net profit to 72 million euros. Over the first nine months, the Group's revenue increased to 1.4 billion euros, and total investments reached 96 million euros.

“We delivered a strong quarterly result, with all business segments contributing more significantly than a year ago. The considerable growth in sales volumes has had a positive impact on profitability, higher revenues have translated into increased profit. Tallink has successfully adapted to the regional economic challenges and market environment, increasing passenger numbers. Following a mild winter, Elenger expanded its market share in Finland and the Baltic region to a record 30% over the summer months. In the real estate and construction segment, we continue work on several large infrastructure projects, including the construction of the main line of Rail Baltica,” said Ain Hanschmidt, Chairman of the Management Board of Infortar.

“The Group companies Tallink and Elenger have jointly taken a significant step towards sustainability – Tallink's newest shuttle vessel, MyStar, began using bio-LNG fuel in the third quarter, with the aim of transitioning both MyStar and Megastar fully to bio-LNG. Tallink is setting an example for other operators and helping to reduce the environmental footprint across the Baltic Sea,” Hanschmidt added.

“Major changes are also taking place in onshore gas consumption. In Estonia, the share of locally produced biomethane – derived from cattle manure and biowaste – has already grown to nearly 10% of the country's total gas consumption, thereby strengthening our overall energy independence. In the transport sector, imported fossil gas has already been replaced by locally produced green gas, transforming what was once a fossil fuel into a renewable and domestic source of energy,” Hanschmidt noted.

Major Events
Maritime transport

In the third quarter of 2025 Tallink transported a total of 1 766 335 passengers and 60 306 cargo units. The third quarter was strong for the Tallink Group. supported by increased passenger numbers during the summer months and improved profitability. In the maritime transport segment. all vessels are now back in operation and the company has demonstrated strong adaptability and sustained financial stability in a challenging economic environment.

Energy
Elenger Grupp. the largest private energy company in the Finnish and Baltic region. sold a total of 3.8 TWh of energy. Sales in Estonia accounted for 11% of the energy sales of the total volume. The company ́s market share increased to 30.5% in the third quarter. confirming Elenger's strong position in the regional energy market.

The construction of Rimi's logistics centre and the new Pärnu bridge are going according to the schedule. In July. the bridge arch was installed. introducing new engineering solutions to Estonia.

Real estate and infrastructure
INF Infra continued the construction of Rail Baltica's mainline on the Kangru-Saku section. The contract value is EUR 67.2 million. and the work is planned to continue until March 2028. Construction on a 40.000 square-meter commercial space for Depo (DIY Store) in Lasnamäe continued. The project is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2026.
