Opening remarks

01 Deliverables
We continued to progress on our strategic initiatives and achieved a profit in H2 2016
(after a disappointing first half year with the low point in Q2)
02 Market Update
The industry fundamentals are showing continuous signs of improvement

The sector is consolidating with Hapag-Lloyd proactively taking part
03 Hapag-Lloyd
Performance

We improved results in Q4 and achieved an operating profit of USD 140
m in 2016

We are delivering on our savings with top-tier unit costs (outperforming the sector)
04 UASC Merger
Our merger with UASC is strategically and operationally highly attractive

Significant CAPEX savings and USD 435 m p.a. anticipated cost synergies
05 Way Forward
Main focus going forward on completing the transaction with UASC, starting THE
Alliance and quickly integrating the UASC business to further reduce costs

We continued to progress on our initiatives in 2016

The industry momentum is changing as guided by Hapag-Lloyd over the recent years

2017 comments in public domain in line with 2015 / 16 HL guidance

Consolidating industry "The current wave of consolidation in the sector, with so far
only 13 global carriers remaining -
down from 20 last year -
and
the related reshuffling of alliances, would likely lead to
improved capacity management"
"…which will create urgently needed
concentration as TOP 5 in many cases will
control ~70% of trades"
Lloyd's Loading List, January 2017 BCA Investor Presentation, 2016
Re-shaping alliances "The new shipping alliances taking effect in 2017 are looming
large in the minds of shippers. This new year brings new
vessel-sharing agreements into effect in April"
Journal of Commerce, January 2017
"…new alliances create more stability, but it will
take some time before things settle down"
Investor Presentation, FY 2015
Freight rates recover "Although overcapacity is expected to initially further increase,
spot freight rates from China have recently shown a stronger
than expected recovery [and] doubled from the trough in April"
Lloyd's Loading List, January 2017
"Freight rates expected to recover in 2016"
Investor Presentation, FY 2015
Orderbook
depletes
"The very low number of new building orders was backed up by
an all-time high of demolition capacity reducing the harmful
effects of new ships being delivered"
Journal of Commerce, January 2017
"Vessel sizes are reaching their economic
maximum, which will help reduce the orderbook
going forward"
Investor Presentation, FY 2015
High scrapping "The increased scrapping of Panamax
tonnage, driven by the
opening of the enlarged Panama Canal, also helped reduce the
number of jobless vessels above 3,000 TEUs"
Alphaliner, January 2017
"Scrapping is increasing (with Panama Canal
expansion)"
Investor Presentation, H1 2015

Demand: Container shipping remains an industry with healthy growth and balanced trade dynamics

Container shipping volume and global GDP growth

Supply: Capacity growth is slowing (as a result of decreasing benefits of ever larger vessels)

H2 H1

Supply: Scrapping and idling help to further reduce effective supply growth

… keeping net capacity growth low …

Net capacity growth 2017E

… slowly reducing supply / demand gap

Freight rates have started to recover ahead of CNY

Shanghai – Latin America (SCFI)

Comments

Further freight rate increases planned March 2017 by various carriers, e.g.:1)

Hapag-Lloyd: Asia– Latin America: USD 1050 / TEU – 15 March; Transpacific: USD 560 / TEU – 15 March

MSC: North Europe – Latin: USD 150 / TEU – 17 March; Mediterranean – North America: USD 200 / TEU – 19 March

OOCL: Asia – North America: USD 640 / TEU – 1 April

Market bunker price level increased in Q4 and beginning of 2017 compared to 9M 2016 which is also partially reflected in higher spot market rates

Gap between TOP 6 and the rest is widening rapidly

Current consolidation wave leads to higher concentrations
