Notes:

  1. Scope 3 reporting includes estimates based on available data for categories 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 12. The completeness of data related to category 4 and 9 in particular will be improved during the year. Approximately 90% of the emissions estimated are related to use of sold products (refrigerants), and 10% to purchased goods and services. Category 15 investments emissions are only reported annually.

  2. Calculation for onshore lost time injury frequency rate and total recordable case frequency rate calculation changed as per CSRD/ESRS requirements. 3. Results are presented as year to date.

*) Restatements:

As a result of improved data and internal control over ESG reporting, four results have been restated for Q2. The restatements are assessed as low in materiality.

ESG index

The group's internal index measures ESG performance in strategic focus areas. 17 KPIs are weighted within these areas based on the group's strategic ambitions (excluding financial targets which are reported separately). The overall target for the ESG index at year end is a result greater than 0.85 which means the majority of entity/segment/group ESG activities are on target.

The overall group ESG index result was 0.74 for the third quarter. Sadly, there was one work-related fatality in the quarter involving an onshore employee who was commuting home on their usual route from work.

The results were positively affected by results in climate change and decarbonisation, and equality, diversity, and inclusion. The results were negatively affected by marginally below target results for supplier screening, implementation of supplier code of conduct, and completion rates for mandatory training.

Maritime Services segment

Total income for the Maritime Services segment was USD 216 million in the third quarter. This was up 21% from the corresponding period last year but down 2% from the previous quarter. Income was lifted by revenue from the acquisition of Zeaborn Ship Management, completed on 31 March 2024. Excluding income from this acquisition, income was up 8% year-over-year. All main activities had a year-over-year increase in organic revenue, driven by the inflationary effect on pricing and an increase in volumes and activities.

EBITDA was USD 26 million, up 7% year-over-year but down 20% from the previous quarter. The increase yearover-year reflected an increase in total income, which was partly offset by higher employee expenses and lower gross margin on acquisition revenue which is partly accounted for on a gross basis.

Share of profit from associates was USD 2 million for the quarter. Financial items were an income of USD 3 million, including USD 7 million in net FX gain. Tax expense was USD 5 million for the quarter, including changes in deferred tax.

The quarter ended with a profit to equity holders of the company of USD 18 million.

Total income for Ships Service was USD 127 million. This was up 11% from the corresponding period last year but down 1% from the previous quarter.

Wilhelmsen Port Services provides full agency, husbandry, and protective agency services to the merchant fleet.

Total income for Port Services was USD 39 million. This was up 6% from the corresponding period last year but down 3% from the previous quarter. The increase yearover-year was supported by higher number of vessel appointments and husbandry volumes. Suez transit activities continued at low levels.

Ship Management

Wilhelmsen Ship Management provides full technical management, crewing, and related services for all major vessel types.

Total income for Ship Management was USD 47 million in the third quarter, up from USD 22 million in the corresponding period last year.

Other activities

Outlook

Wilhelmsen is an industrial holding company within the maritime industry. The group's activities are carried out through fully and partly owned entities, most of which are among the market leaders within their segments. Our ambition is to develop companies within maritime services, shipping, logistics, renewables, and related infrastructure through active ownership.

Outlook for Maritime Services

Maritime Services delivers value creating solutions to the global merchant fleet, focusing on Ships Service, Port Services, and Ship Management.

The Maritime Services operation has in 2024 been supported by a predominantly positive global shipping market, with income also lifted by bolt-on acquisitions and inflationary impact. For 2025, we expect lower impact from inflation while risk to the general shipping market, from an unpredictable geopolitical situation, has increased.

Looking further ahead, we believe that the Maritime Services market will continue to grow, supported by a growing world economy. With global networks, strong brands built over many years, and a long history of innovation and market adaptation, Wilhelmsen is in a good position to service this market.

Outlook for New Energy

The New Energy segment focuses on building an ecosystem supporting energy transition. With segment companies representing energy infrastructure, offshore wind, and technology & decarbonisation, Wilhelmsen is driving value-creation by bringing together their unique competencies.

Supply risk following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the escalating tension in the Middle East put focus on securing Europe's need for energy. This supports a high

activity level at the offshore fields supported by NorSea and other Wilhelmsen operations. We believe the high activity level to continue in 2025.

A focus on climate measures will support, inter alia, a gradual shift from offshore oil and gas to offshore wind, and decarbonization of the global fleet. With a broad range of operations, infrastructure, and new initiatives across offshore and other maritime activities, Wilhelmsen is well positioned to participate in these energy and technology shifts.

Outlook for Strategic Holdings and Investments

Wilhelmsen holds large strategic shareholdings in Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA and, through its shareholding in Treasure ASA, in Hyundai Glovis. Through our shareholdings in these companies, we will continue to provide and develop world leading logistics services to the global automotive and ro-ro industries.

A favourable supply-demand balance in global ro-ro shipping has lifted the earnings and dividend capacity of our strategic holdings. We expect the positive market situation to continue into 2025.

Long term, Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA and Hyundai Glovis have the size, global reach, human and physical assets, and customer base to succeed in a continuously changing world.

Outlook for the Wilhelmsen group

Wilhelmsen retains a strong balance sheet and a balanced portfolio of leading maritime operations and investments.

While uncertainty persists, specifically regarding geopolitical tension, the group retains its capacity to support and grow the portfolio, and to deliver consistent yearly dividends.

No material gain/(loss) from sale of assets during Q3 2024.

Note 6 - Tax

The effective tax rate for the group will change from period to period, dependent on the group gains and losses from investments within the exemption method.

OECD Pillar Two model rules

The Pillar two model rules, issued by OECD as part of their BEPS project, came into effect from 1 January 2024. On 20 December 2023, the Norwegian parliament approved the legislation, defining the framework for Norwegian ultimate parent entities.

The group has assessed the implications of the new legislation, with the resulting estimated financial impact on the group's income tax being immaterial for Q3 2024.

Effective from 23 May 2023, the International Accounting Standard Board (the IASB) issued an amendment to IAS 12, with the amendment including a mandatory temporary exemption to the accounting for deferred tax arising from the jurisdictional implementation of the Pillar Two model rules. The group has implemented the mandatory temporary exemption, effective from 1 January 2023.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (over-thecounter contracts) are based on third party quotes. These quotes use the maximum number of observable market rates for price discovery. Specific valuation techniques used by financial counterparties (banks) to value financial derivatives include:

  • Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar derivatives

  • The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the net present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves

  • The fair value of interest rate swap option (swaption) contracts is determined using observable volatility, yield curve and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance sheet date, resulting in a swaption premium. Options are typically valued by applying the Black-Scholes model. - The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the

resulting value discounted back to net present value - The fair value of foreign exchange option contracts is determined using observable forward exchange rates, volatility, yield curves and time-tomaturity parameters at the balance sheet date, resulting in an option premium. Options are typically valued by applying the Black-Scholes model.

The carrying value less impairment provision of receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the group for similar financial derivatives.

The fair values, except for bond debt, are based on cash flows discounted

using a rate based on market rates including margins and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the bond debt are based on quoted prices and are also classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to limited trading in an active market.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.

The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current mid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 at the end of September 2024 are liquid investment grade bonds (analogous for 2023).

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) are based on third party quotes (Mark-to-Market). These quotes use the maximum number of observable market rates for price discovery. The different techniques typically applied by financial counterparties (banks) were described above. These instruments - FX and IR derivatives - are included in level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the derivatives is in level 3. Primarily illiquid investment funds and structured notes are included in level 3.

Note 15 - Related party transactions

WWH delivers services to the Wallenius Wilhelmsen group. These include primarily in-house services such as canteen, post, switchboard and rent of office facilities.

Generally, Shared Services are priced using a cost plus 5% margin calculation, in accordance with the principles set out in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines and are delivered according to agreements that are renewed annually.

Note 16 - Contingencies

The size and global activities of the group dictate that companies in the group will be involved from time to time in disputes and legal actions. The group is not aware of any financial risk associated with disputes and legal actions which are not largely covered through insurance arrangements. Nevertheless, any such disputes/actions which might exist

Note 17 - Events occurring after the balance sheet date

Wilh Wilhelmsen Holding ASA has after the balance sheet date acquired 11 232 875 shares in the subsidiary Treasure ASA and increased the ownership from 78.68% to 84.16%. The total consideration was USD 30 million.

are of such a nature that they will not significantly affect the group's financial position.

No other material events occured between the balance sheet date and the date when the accounts were presented providing new information about the conditions prevailing on the balance sheet date.

Note 18 - Investment in joint ventures and associates - restated financial figures

Background

On 7 June 2024, Wallenius Wilhelmsen issued a stock exchange notice informing the market of a required restatement of historical figures due to change in accounting treatment related to the EUKOR put and call option (put option going forward). It has been concluded that the put option liability must be recognised in full and the non-current asset recognised related to the call option must be removed. The combined effect shall be recognised in equity.

Impact of change on the groups consolidated financial statemenets

In the group's consolidated financial statements, the investment in Wallenius Wilhelmsen is accounted for as an investment in associate, applying the equity method for measurement.

In the Wallenius Wilhelmsen consolidated financial statements, the put option has been recognised by derecognizing the non-controlling interest, with excess value, exceeding the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest, being recognised as a reduction in the equity attributable to the owners of the parent.

IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , does not give any specific guidance on how to account for other equity movements than total comprehensive income and transactions with shareholders. Wilhelmsen has therefore developed an accounting policy for the equity movements caused by the NCI put, where equity movements in the investee are presented as equity movements also in the consolidated financial statements of the company. Since the risk and rewards associated with the shares primarly resides

with the non-controlling interest, management has concluded that the put option should be recognised in full towards the equity attributable to the owners of the parent, without any derecognition in the noncontrolling interest. By electing this principle, the group assumes its full relative share of the redemption liability reported by Wallenius Wilhelmsen, as a reduction in the carrying value of the shares in Wallenius Wilhelmsen with a corresponding adjustment in equity. The proportionate share of changes in the liability is recognised directly in equity attributable to the holders of the parent.

Presentation of restated comparable amounts

Applying IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, the group have presented in this note the restated comparable amounts for each period presented as if the put option had beed recognised in Wallenius Wilhelmsens consolidated financial statements for each period, including quarterly reporting periods, starting from the reporting period ending December 31, 2022. The restated figures for 2022, 2023 and 2024 have not been audited.

The following measures are not defined nor specified in the applicable financial reporting framework of IFRS. They may be considered as non-GAAP financial measures that may include or exclude amounts that are calculated and presented according to the IFRS. These APMs are intended to enhance comparability of the results, balance sheet and cash flows from period to period and it is the Company's experience that these are frequently used by investors, analysts and other parties. Internally, these APMs are used by the management to measure performance on a regular basis. The APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS.

EBITDA margin adjusted is defined as EBITDA adjusted as a per cent of Total income, with Total income also adjusted for the same income elements as those which have been adjusted for in EBITDA adjusted.

EBIT is used as a measure of operational profitability excluding the effects of how the operations were financed, taxed and excluding foreign exchange gains & losses.
