Redefining dry bulk and product tanker shipping

CABU introduced in 2001-17

CLEANBU introduced in 2019-21

KCC's main value drivers :

E F F I C I E N C Y

D I V E R S I F I C A T I O N

F L E X I B I L I T Y

Substantially lower ballast and carbon footprint than standard vessels

Exposed to both dry bulk and product tanker markets

Optionality to shift capacity to the highest paying market

Agenda

Strong financial results amid more challenging markets

  • EBITDA of USD 32.6 million and EBT of USD 21.7 million
  • Both segments outperformed the standard markets
  • Quite stable CLEANBU TCE earnings of \$38,673/day (-\$400/day Q-o-Q) despite considerably weaker product tanker market
  • CABU TCE earnings of \$29,668/day (-\$8,000/day Q-o-Q) impacted by a weaker MR-tanker market and temporary lower caustic soda shipment volume
  • Record low carbon intensity (EEOI 6.1) driven by limited ballasting and high cargo intake

Cash flow impacted by one-off related to buy-back of KCC04 bond issue

Comments

  • Negative working capital change in Q3 following a positive change of USD 7.4 million in Q2 2024
  • KCC04 call option exercised with cash impact of negative USD 20.8 million in Q3. The buy-back was refinanced in May 2024
  • Limited dry-docking cost in Q3. This will increase in Q4 2024 due to timing of dry-dockings. See slide 38 for estimates

The newbuild project will enter full construction phase in 2025

1) Contract price. Other costs not included. Delivery cost will among other things include costs for change orders, supervision and project management, upstoring and energy efficiency investments See slide 39 for more details

Continued oil consumption growth, but some macro economic
headwinds, in particular China and Europe

Possible easing of OPEC+ production cuts

Less competition expected from crude tankers in CPP-trades

Overall low fleet growth in 2024, but accelerating in 2025
Market balance
Expect positive seasonal upturn last months of 2024

Moderating, but expected to remain strong in 2025
