1) Average rate for the period. Note: Figures as stated in the Investor Report Q3/9M 2019. Rounding differences may occur. Due to the first-time application of IFRS 16 "Leases" as at 1 January 2019, the presentation of the group earnings, financial and net asset positions is only comparable with that of the corresponding prior year period to a limited degree.

9 Unless stated otherwise, the figures for Q3/9M 2018 refer to the provisions for leases pursuant to IAS 17.1

Transport volume increased by 1.2% YoY to 9,011 TTEU in 9M 2019, excluding Intra-Asia transport volume grew by 2.7% YoY

Transport volume by trade [TTEU]

Transport volume development by trade (excl. Intra-Asia) [TTEU]

Average freight rate has increased by 4.2% YoY in 9M 2019, while average bunker prices have increased by 4.7% YoY

Freight rate [USD/TEU] vs. Bunker price development [USD/mt]

Transport expenses per unit remained almost flat YoY despite slightly higher bunker costs

Transport expenses per unit [USD/TEU]

• Slight YoY increase driven by higher "Bunker" costs.
• Decrease in "Handling and haulage" as less profitable inland business was actively reduced in light of Strategy 2023.
• Decrease in "Equipment and repositioning" due to IFRS 16. However, depreciation for rented container more than offset this decrease. Higher empty container repositioning cost drove the net increase.
• Decrease in "Vessel and voyage" due to IFRS 16 – increase in depreciation more than offset this decrease. Net increase driven by a capacity expansion and an increase in charter prices has been partly offset by higher slotcharter revenues.

Free cash flow generation of USD 1,483 m significantly stronger than last year, notwithstanding IFRS 16 effects of USD 399 m

Cash flow 9M 2019 [USD m]
