Western Bulk achieved a net profit after tax of USD 66.0 million from USD 1.62 billion in gross revenues in 2022
Earnings Release Classification · 100% confidence The document primarily discusses the company's financial performance for the full year 2022 (net profit, revenues) and provides an outlook for 2023. This strongly suggests an Earnings Release (ER) or part of a larger annual report disclosure. However, the text explicitly states: "The Board of Directors calls for the Annual General Meeting to be held on Thursday March 30th at 10.00 CET...". The presence of both financial highlights (typical of an ER) and the formal announcement/call for the AGM suggests this document serves a dual purpose or is a press release accompanying the AGM announcement. Given the focus on summarizing the full-year results (USD 66.0 million net profit for 2022) and the explicit call for the AGM, it is most likely an Earnings Release (ER) that also contains the AGM notice, or a document specifically related to the AGM. Since the financial summary is prominent, ER is a strong candidate. However, the explicit call for the AGM makes AGM-R plausible if the primary intent is to announce the meeting details alongside results. Since it contains detailed financial results for the full year, it is more comprehensive than a typical ER, but less comprehensive than a 10-K. Given the dual nature, and the explicit mention of the AGM date and location, AGM-R (AGM Information) is a very strong fit, as these announcements often include the preceding year's performance summary to inform shareholders before the meeting. If it were purely financial results, ER would be chosen. Since the AGM call is a definitive action item, AGM-R is selected as the primary classification. FY 2022

Western Bulk Chartering AS Ex Dividend NOK 3.00 Today
Notice of Dividend Amount Classification · 98% confidence The document is extremely short (581 characters) and announces a specific corporate action: an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend of NOK 3.00 related to Q4 2022 results. This is a direct announcement of a dividend payment detail, not a comprehensive report (like 10-K or IR) or a general regulatory filing (RNS). The most specific category matching a dividend announcement is 'Notice of Dividend Amount' (DIV).

Western Bulk achieved a net profit after tax of USD 28.6 million in the second half of 2022, and full-year profit of USD 66.0 million from USD 1.62 billion in gross revenues
Interim / Quarterly Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is titled 'Second Half Year Report 2022' and contains comprehensive financial statements, including a consolidated condensed income statement, key figures, market highlights, and management commentary for the period. It is a substantive financial report covering a period shorter than a full fiscal year, fitting the definition of an Interim/Quarterly Report (IR). H2 2022

Western Bulk achieved a net profit after tax of USD 28.6 million in the second half of 2022, and full-year profit of USD 66.0 million from USD 1.62 billion in gross revenues
Earnings Release Classification · 100% confidence The document text explicitly reports financial results for the second half of 2022 and the full year, including net profit, revenues, and market commentary. This strongly indicates an Earnings Release (ER). Furthermore, it announces a quarterly dividend (NOK 3 per share) and mentions an upcoming digital investor presentation, which are typical components of an ER. Although it mentions an investor presentation (which could suggest IP or CT), the core content is the financial performance summary, making ER the most appropriate classification. It is not a comprehensive quarterly report (IR) or the full annual report (10-K), but rather the initial announcement of results. H2 2022
