Western Bulk publishes 2021 annual report with record net profit after tax of USD 81 million and will pay dividend of USD 65 million end of March
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 98% confidence The document explicitly states, "Western Bulk publishes 2021 annual report..." and later concludes with, "Please see the attached annual report 2021 for more information." This structure—a brief summary highlighting key results (record profit, dividend proposal) followed by a reference to an attached, full report—is characteristic of a Report Publication Announcement (RPA). Although it discusses the content of the Annual Report (10-K), the document itself is the announcement of that report's availability, not the full 10-K filing itself. The length (4472 chars) also supports this being an announcement rather than the comprehensive 10-K document. The dividend proposal also links to the AGM (AGM-R), but the primary purpose here is announcing the publication of the annual results/report.

Financial calendar
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 100% confidence The document is titled 'Financial calendar' and lists future dates for key corporate events like the 'Half-yearly Report', 'Annual Report', and 'Annual General Meeting'. It is not the report itself, but rather an announcement detailing the schedule for future report publications. Given the short length (419 chars) and the nature of announcing when reports will be released, this fits best under Report Publication Announcement (RPA), which covers announcements regarding the timing or release of company reports.

Western Bulk generated a record net profit after tax of USD 72 million in the second half of 2021 and full year profit of USD 81 million from USD 1.49 billion in gross revenues
Interim / Quarterly Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is titled 'Second Half Year Report 2021' 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 for a period shorter than a full fiscal year, fitting the definition of an Interim/Quarterly Report (IR). H2 2021

Western Bulk generated a record net profit after tax of USD 72 million in the second half of 2021 and full year profit of USD 81 million from USD 1.49 billion in gross revenues
Earnings Release Classification · 100% confidence The document text primarily discusses record financial results for the second half of 2021 and the full year 2021, including net profit and gross revenues. It mentions a proposed dividend for the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Crucially, the text ends with the statement: "Please see the attached second half report 2021 for more information." This structure—a summary of results followed by a reference to an attached, more detailed report—indicates that this document is an announcement about the release of financial results, rather than the comprehensive report itself (which would likely be classified as IR or 10-K/AR if it were the full document). Since it announces financial results (H2 2021), it fits best under Earnings Release (ER) or potentially Report Publication Announcement (RPA) if the focus is purely on the announcement mechanism. Given the content is the actual financial highlights, ER is a strong candidate. However, the explicit instruction to use RPA when a document states a report is attached, and the document length is relatively short (4665 chars), suggests RPA is the most precise classification based on the provided rules, as it is announcing the publication of the 'second half report 2021'. I will classify it as RPA because it is an announcement pointing to the main report. FY 2021

Financial calendar
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 100% confidence The document is titled 'Financial calendar' and lists key future dates for financial reporting events like 'Half-yearly Report', 'Annual Report', and 'Annual General Meeting'. It is not the report itself, but an announcement detailing the schedule of future reports. Since there is no specific category for a 'Financial Calendar', and this document serves to inform stakeholders about upcoming regulatory/financial publications, it best fits the general 'Regulatory Filings' (RNS) category as a miscellaneous announcement, or potentially 'RPA' if it were announcing the publication of a specific report, but here it is a forward-looking schedule. Given the options, RNS is the most appropriate fallback for a general schedule announcement that doesn't fit a specific report type.

Publication of H2-21 report postponed until 17th of February
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly states that the 'Publication of H2-21 report' has been postponed and also mentions the postponement of the 'investor presentation'. This document is not the report itself (which would be an IR or AR), nor is it the presentation (IP). Instead, it is an announcement about the timing and scheduling of these future corporate events/publications. According to Rule #2, short announcements regarding the timing or publication of reports fall under Report Publication Announcement (RPA). The document is very short (1270 chars) and serves purely to communicate a schedule change for the H2-21 report and associated investor presentation.
