Financial items were a net income of USD 1 million while tax was an expense of USD 2 million for the quarter.
Net profit to equity holders of the company was USD 108 million for the quarter, equal to USD 2.44 earnings per share (EPS).

Notes:
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 88% of the emissions estimated in the first quarter are related to use of sold products (refrigerants), and 11% to purchased goods and services. Category 15 investments emissions are only reported annually at end of year.
New reporting metric from 2024 which is based on calendar days as per CSRD/ESRS requirements.
Calculation for onshore lost time injury frequency rate and total recordable case frequency rate calculation changed as per CSRD/ESRS requirements.
The group's internal ESG 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 group ESG activities are on target.
The overall group ESG index result was 0.71 for the first quarter. The results were positively affected by achievement of targets related to greenhouse gas emissions and equality, diversity, and inclusion. The results were negatively affected by health and safety results related to seafarers, and marginally below target results for supplier screening, implementation of supplier code of conduct, and completion rates for mandatory training. Regrettably, there was one seafarer work-related fatality during the first quarter. After a thorough internal and external investigation, preventive actions were implemented.
This includes Ships Service, Port Services, Ship Management, and other activities reported under the Maritime Services segment.

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.
Maritime Services delivers value creating solutions to the global merchant fleet, focusing on Ships Service, Port Services, and Ship Management.
The Maritime Services operation is presently supported by a predominantly positive global shipping market, with income also lifted by bolt-on acquisitions and inflationary impact. At the same time, inflation and new system costs are putting pressure on operating margins. We expect these factors to remain in 2024.
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.
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 continues to put focus on securing Europe's need for energy. This supports a continued high activity level at the offshore fields supported by NorSea and other Wilhelmsen operations. We believe this situation to continue.
A strong focus on climate measures in Europe and globally 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.
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 this situation to remain in 2024.
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.
Wilhelmsen retains a strong balance sheet and a balanced portfolio of leading maritime operations and investments.
While uncertainty persists, specifically regarding inflationary pressure and geopolitical tension, the group retains its capacity to support and grow the portfolio, and to deliver consistent yearly dividends.

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.
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 Q1 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 (overthe-counter 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 March 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.

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

As of 31 December 2023 the group holds a 78.68% share in the company Treasure ASA, who through the fully owned subsidiary Den Norske Amerikalinje AS holds a 11% share in Hyundai Glovis, a logistics company headquartered in Seoul, Republic of Korea, listed on the Korean Stock Exchange.
Hyundai Glovis' principal activity is logistics and distribution services. The company provides overseas logistics services, including vehicle export logistics, air freight forwarding, ocean freight forwarding and international express service. Hyundai Glovis also has a growing shipping segment with its own fleet of car carriers and bulk carriers.
The group has previously recognised the investment as financial assets to fair value ("FV") measurement with changes in FV recognised in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments.
In 2023 the group has changed the classification to consider Hyundai Glovis as an associated company and to recognise the investment according to the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, with the group's share of changes in net assets of Hyundai Glovis reported as share of profit from associates and dividends from associates. This change comes as a result from discussions with Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (the "NFSA").
The group received a preliminary notice from the NFSA regarding it's accounting treatment of the Hyundai Glovis investment in the group's consolidated financial statements for the period ending 31 December 2021. In the notice, the NFSA has concluded the group has significant influence over Hyundai Glovis, and is therefore required to classify the

investment as an associated company, and to measure the investment using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The change in classification should be corrected retrospectivly as an error according to IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
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 investment in Hyundai Glovis had been in accordance with the equity method for the period ending 31 March 31 2023. The restated figures for the period endring 31 March 31 2023 have not been audited.
The impact on the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 March 2023 is a increase in total equity and retained earnings of USD 107 million, with a increase of USD 85 million attributable to equity holders of the parent and a increase of USD 7 million attributable to non-controlling interests.
