Opening Remarks

01 Deliverables	 Synergy ramp-up from the UASC integration on track – up to 90% to be realized in 2018  Solid start into the year with an EBIT of USD 66 m (USD 8 m in Q1 2017) despite difficult rate environment

03 Financials	 Q1 2018 EBITDA of USD 270 m clearly above previous year's level (USD 144 m in Q1 2017)  Strong Operating Cash Flow of USD 312 m in Q1 2018 (USD 158 m in Q1 2017)

Total synergies of USD 435 m p.a. from 2019 onwards confirmed – Up to 90% of full run rate expected to be realized in 2018

Synergy ramp-up

• Approximately 60% of expected synergies realized until end of Q1 2018
• Up to 90% of full run rate expected to be realized in 2018
• Visibility of synergies in P&L is limited due to counter effects in other cost items

Supply / Demand Balance

LSF 2020: The whole industry will face major changes – Hapag-Lloyd is exploring and evaluating all possible options

New regulations as of 2020

• Low sulphur regulation to be enforced worldwide beginning January 2020
• IMO announced target to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2050

3 options for the industry

1 LNG	 High upfront CAPEX  Significantly lower exhaust gas emissions than compliant fuels – regulatory certainty  Bunkering logistics not yet sufficiently available in all ports – LNG infrastructure to be expanded	that are LNG ready
2 Install Scrubber	 Lower CAPEX than LNG  Allows continued use of HSFO 3.5%  High regulatory and technical uncertainty  Increased fuel consumption and CO2 emissions	marine fuel strategy
3 Use compliant fuels	 Minor CAPEX to ensure segregation of fuels  Compliant fuels are expected to price at a premium to HSFO – OPEX therefore likely to increase	"Hapag-Lloyd plans 20% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020"

Hapag-Lloyd's position

• HL's owned fleet comprises 17 vessels that are LNG ready
• We are currently evaluating all of the three possible options for a future marine fuel strategy
• Economics and feasibility will need to be checked on a case-by-case basis

20% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020"

Clearly improved EBITDA of USD 270 m in Q1 2018

Note: UASC's Ltd. and its subsidiaries have been included in the figures from the date control was transferred on 24 May 2017.

USD figures as stated in the Investor Report Q1 2018 1) For 2018, local revenues were included in the calculation of freight rates. Previous year's figures adjusted accordingly. 2) Due to retrospective application of the provisions for designated options, previous year's figures have been adjusted.

1) Assuming UASC Group has been included since 1 January 2016 Note: Due to the inclusion of UASC in the Hapag-Lloyd Group from the first-time consolidation date of 24 May 2017, figures provided can only be compared with those of the previous year to a limited extent. The figures for the first quarter of 2017 relate to Hapag-Lloyd only and do not include the UASC Group. For the financial year 2018, local revenues were included in the calculation of freight rates. The previous year's figures have been adjusted accordingly.
