1) Q2 year-on-year comparison affected by CSAV integration

Difficult market – Freight rates declined further in Q2 to record low levels due to intense competition

• Muted global trade growth based on increased economic risks affected demand for global container shipping services
• Intense competition increased pressure on freight rates in Q2 leading to higher than expected rate declines to unsustainable levels
• Even though freight rates have finally gone back up towards the peak season in various trades this rebound is coming later than anticipated and more is needed going forward
• Supply / demand gap to decrease over next months as growth in global container vessel capacity is expected to be lower than initially forecasted due to scrapping of old and inefficient vessels and postponements of deliveries
• Capacity level of idle ships has risen sharply in recent quarters
• 1) The CCFI reflects China's nationwide export container transport and comprises the reported freight rates of 22 shipping companies

However, signs supporting a possible recovery over the second half of 2016 remain

…and ship deliveries in H1 slowed down

…and scrapping at multi-years high

Idle capacity remains high…

In the second half, we will do whatever we can to get freight rates back to more sustainable levels

Adequate liquidity reserve [USD m] UASC deal implications

• Cash capital increase of USD 400 m (equivalent) planned within six months after the closing of the transaction with UASC
• Strengthening of shareholder base with the new key shareholders Qatar Holding LLC and the Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
• Value protection via guaranteed equity, cash and debt covenants (as of certain Relevant Dates)

Hapag-Lloyd adjusted its outlook for 2016 as freight rate development is significantly weaker than expected

Revised Outlook 2016		Comments
Transport volume	Increasing slightly	 Hapag-Lloyd adjusts its outlook for the financial year 2016 as the development of the freight rates is significantly weaker than expected
Bunker consumption price	Clearly decreasing	 The revised expectation of the Executive Board is a clearly decreasing EBITDA and a clearly decreasing EBIT compared with previous year
Freight rate	Clearly decreasing	 In the second quarter of 2016 the average freight rate of Hapag-Lloyd decreased to 1,019 USD/TEU, i.e. 245 USD/TEU below prior year period (1,264 USD/TEU in Q2 2015) – the recovery at the beginning of July does not seem sufficient and sustainable enough
EBITDA	Clearly decreasing	 Additionally bunker prices have increased throughout the second quarter of 2016
EBIT	Clearly decreasing	 After the Business Combination with United Arab Shipping Company S.A.G. (UASC) transaction related one-off costs will also impact the results in 2016

• Combination assures top 5 position globally and on key trades against the backdrop of a consolidating market
• Further balancing of trade portfolio with leadership on Middle East Trades
• Increased competitiveness through complementary young and fuel-efficient fleet with large share of ULCVs
• Sustainable market position without further short-term fleet investments
• Significant value creation through expected run-rate synergies of at least USD 400 m per annum
• Strong partner in the light of the ongoing alliance reshuffling
• Supportive core shareholders and capital market investors

Introduction
Sector update
HL financials
UASC deal
Next steps

Value creation: Synergies of at least USD 400 m expected mainly in network and overhead

Synergy potential, full run-rate [USD m]

Synergies of at least USD 400 m per year from 2019 onwards – approx. 1/3 to be achieved in 2017 already One-off costs of approx. USD 150 m largely payable in 2016/2017

Modern fleet: No need to further invest in the next years due to complimentary ship newbuildings

Vessel delivery schedule 2015-2017

21 1) Delivery of last two 15,000 TEU vessels to be delayed from H2 2016 into 2017

No further investments needed

• In order to be competitive mid-term, Hapag-Lloyd would have needed significant investments in ultralarge container vessels in upcoming years (as envisaged in IPO process)
• UASC had recently ordered 17 fuel-efficient big ships (6x 18,000 TEU and 11x 15,000 TEU) most of them were delivered in 2015/2016
• The Combined Entity will thereby operate one of the youngest and most efficient fleets in the industry
• Hence, no need for new vessel investment in next years – the fleet expenditures have been basically "pulled forward"
• The Combined Entity will focus on maximizing free cash flow to deleverage quickly

Closing of the transaction expected by end of 2016 (subject to necessary approvals)

1) Subject to necessary approvals 2) Long stop date for closing conditions

• In the second half of the year, we continue to focus our cost savings and improvement programs (Cuatro synergies, Octave measures, Compete to Win)
• Furthermore, we will do whatever we can to get freight rates back to more sustainable levels
• In this difficult competitive environment, it is very important
• − to complete the transaction with UASC as quickly as possible and
• − to start the integration of UASC immediately after the completion of all preclosing conditions
• The integration will bring us annual net synergies of at least USD 400 million, some of which should already take effect next year

Main focus in the second half (pre Closing) Financial policy going forward (post Closing)

Profitability	Based on improved fleet ownership structure and synergy realization the EBITDA margin will increase significantly
Investments	No new vessel investments in next years – Maximize free cashflow
Deleveraging	Clear deleveraging target: Reduce net leverage to ~3.5x by 2018
Liquidity	Committed to an adequate liquidity 1) reserve (USD 1.1-1.2 bn)
Capital Increase	Cash capital increase backstopped by certain key shareholders2)

Well-balanced exposure to global trade with strong position in attractive markets and niche businesses

Imbalances: Hapag-Lloyd outperforms the market

1) This ratio reflects the imbalance in the market (industry average) vs. Hapag-Lloyd imbalance of transport volumes (the higher the ratio, the more balanced in both directions). Ratio has been rounded

As at 30 June 2016, Hapag-Lloyd used a chartered ship primarily for the repositioning of empty containers. The ship has a transport capacity of around 6,900 TEU. As the ship is not employed in a liner service it is not included in the fleet data described above.
