Treasure ASA
The group own 4 125 000 (11.0%) shares in Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd. (Hyundai Glovis), a global transportation and logistics provider based in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
The group's ambition is to generate significant shareholder return from investments within the maritime and logistics industries, either by increasing the market value of its shares, through dividends or other distributions to shareholders. During 2023, the company distributed NOK 1.00 per share in cash dividend and bought back 517 771 shares at a price of NOK 18.50 per share. The own shares have been liquidated during the year, ending the year with nil own shares.
Whereas the primary focus is on managing the shareholding in Hyundai Glovis, the financial capability of the group is strong. The board and management continue to enhance the relationship with the Hyundai Group and other stakeholders.
Pursuant to section 4, sub-section 5, confer section 3, subsection 3a of the Norwegian Accounting Act, it is confirmed that the annual accounts have been prepared under the assumption that the enterprise is a going concern and that the conditions are present.
The group's financial accounts for 2023 showed a profit before tax of USD 88 million (2022: USD 102 million). The profit before tax is including share of profit from Hyundai Glovis of USD 89 million (2022: USD 102 million). Tax was included with an expense of USD 3.6 million (2022: USD 2.3 million) and profit for the year was USD 84.3 million in 2023 (2022: USD 100 million).
The shareholding in Hyundai Glovis is classified as investment in associate. During the year, the classification was changed from financial assets to fair value with the change in fair value accounted for through the income statement under non-current assets. Please refer to note 9 in the consolidated financial statements for more information on the change in classification of assets for the shareholding in Hyundai Glovis.
Total assets for Treasure ASA group at the end of 2023 was USD 679.7 million (2022: USD 629.9 million), of which USD 4.4 million (2022: USD 9.4 million) in cash and cash equivalents. The group has no interest-bearing debt.
Revenues and profitability of Hyundai Glovis are intricately linked to the performance of the main customer, Hyundai
Motor Group. The Hyundai Glovis share price increased 17.1% (adj. for dividend) during 2023, somewhat behind the general stock market in South Korea, where the KOSPI Index increased 19.6% during the year.
The Treasure ASA group had a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of USD 5 million (2022: USD decrease of 17.1 million) for the year, reflecting received dividend from Hyundai Glovis, payment of dividend, and share buy-backs during 2023.
The shareholding in Hyundai Glovis, through its capital intensity and cyclical exposure to demand and supply of vehicles, dominates the risk of Treasure ASA group. Changes in trade conditions and global demand for Hyundai and Kia vehicles may affect transportation flows and thereby the financial performance and the volatility in the share price of Hyundai Glovis.
The group has no employees. Corporate functions such as general management, accounting, investor relations, legal, tax, communication, ESG-reporting etc. are covered via detailed Service Level Agreements (SLA) with Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA (WWH). The board is familiar and confident with the quality of these services.
The group remains exposed to a range of financial risk factors, particularly stemming from the equity market conditions globally and in Korea as well as from movements in the Korean Won.
The group's investment is exposed to climate risk over the short and medium term.
Physical risks stemming from more extreme weather and rising water levels impacting the logistics and maritime assets and operations of Hyundai Glovis.
Transition risks (regulatory, reputational, market, and technology) stemming from implementation of national and international climate policy measures, the energy transition and the decarbonisation of shipping and logistics.
The Korean government's climate program coupled with the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ambition, other regional and national government's climate measures and energy transition priorities, as well as stakeholder's increased attention on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, all exemplify the changing climate risk and opportunity landscape for Hyundai Glovis.
The group is committed to manage risks related to its investments in a sound and professional manner. This commitment spans monitoring of the current environment, implementation of measures to mitigate risks and responding to risks to mitigate consequences.
The group's exposure to and management of financial risk are further described in Note 7 of the accounts. This includes foreign exchange rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
While the main investment is of a long-term nature, any fluctuations in values will have impact on the net asset value and solidity of the group and may affect profitability.
Treasure ASA group observes the Norwegian Code of Practice for corporate governance, in addition to requirements as specified in the Norwegian Public Companies Act and the Norwegian Accounting Act.
It is the board's view that, given the company's business model, the company has an appropriate governance structure and that it is managed in a satisfactory way.
The board's corporate governance report can be found on treasureasa.com.
The group does not have any employees. The CEO and CFO who form the management of Treasure ASA are employed by Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA (WWH) and are engaged based on a Service Level Agreement. In 2023, there were no reports of any material issues or alleged violations concerning health, safety or working environment stemming from these services.
Two of four board members are female (50%), while the CEO and CFO are both men (100%).
A separate remuneration report has been prepared by the board and can be found on treasureasa.com. The report will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting for an advisory vote.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters A responsible business model must be sustainable. The group includes environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues in its investment analysis, business decisions, ownership practises, and financial reporting.
The group has clearly expressed its ESG expectations to Hyundai Glovis as an active shareholder. The expectations are to reduce environmental impact; contribute to promote human rights, sound working standards; and work towards eliminating corruption in own operations and investments, as well as the operations of suppliers and business partners. The group has also expressed expectations and support for Hyundai Glovis's green growth and active role in the decarbonisation of the maritime and logistics sector.
The group's 2023 ESG- and 2023 Transparency act report can be found on treasureasa.com.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (D&O) is for the 2023
accounting year placed with AIG, AXA XL, Risk Point and If. The Insured names Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA and includes any subsidiaries world-wide not excluded in the policy, including Treasure ASA. The D&O insurance provides financial protection for the directors and officers of a company in the event that they are being sued in conjunction with the performance of their duties as they relate to the company. The insurance comprises the directors' and officers' personal legal liabilities, including defence- and legal costs. The cover also includes employees in managerial positions or employees who become named in a claim or investigation or is named co-defendant.
The board's proposal for allocation of the net profit for the year is as follows:
| Parent company accounts (NOK thousand) | |
|---|---|
| To equity | NOK 52 661 |
| Proposed dividend | NOK 153 542 |
| Interim dividend paid | NOK 80 022 |
| Total allocation | NOK 286 224 |
The board is proposing to the Annual General Meeting a NOK 0,75 dividend per share payable during the first half of 2024, representing a total payment of NOK 153.5 million. In addition, the board is proposing that the Annual General Meeting authorises the board to declare a second dividend up to NOK 0,25 per share.
Treasure ASA is an investment company with currently one asset. The underlying value of the group correlates strongly with the general development of the Hyundai Glovis financial and share price performance.
The main customers of Hyundai Glovis - Hyundai Motor Group and Kia Motor Group - are experiencing an increasing global demand for their vehicles. Hyundai Glovis is continuously extending its maritime footprint into zero-emission and hydrogen initiatives, new value chain and energy segments through a combination of partnerships and direct investments, which is viewed as positive.
Extensive information on Hyundai Glovis can be found on ir.glovis.net
In 2024, Treasure ASA will continue to build and extend its strategic relationship with Hyundai Glovis. Given the strong balance sheet, the investment capacity is significant. Management will develop its strategy further.
The board expects the underlying value of the group's main asset to fluctuate in line with the general equity indexes of the Korean Stock Exchange.

Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Sale and dilution of the share of associate companies is recognised in the income statement when the transactions occur for the group.

* The financial information in the above tables is presented in USD million rather than USD thousand.
The market capitalization of the group's share in Hyundai Glovis at 31 December 2023 was USD 610 million (2022: USD 538 million). The share have historically traded at or below a market capitalization to book value of equity ratio of 1 without this indicating a significant decline of the asset's value. Value in use calculations prepared by management of Hyundai Glovis indicates that the recoverable amount is higher than the Hyundai Glovis' carrying amount for key assets. The higher underlying value of the share is supported by external market analysts. Based on this, the recoverable amount attributable to the shares in Hyundai Glovis is assessed to be higher than the group's carrying amount.
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, and that the temporary differences can be deducted from this profit.
The ordinary rate of corporation tax in Norway is 22% of net profit for 2023 (analogous for 2022). Norwegian limited liability companies are encompassed by the participation exemption method for share income. Thus, share dividends and gains are tax free for the receiving company. Corresponding losses on shares are not deductible. The participation exemption method does not apply to share income from companies considered low taxed and that are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and on share income from companies owned by less than 10% resident outside the EEA.
For group companies located in the same country and within the same tax regime, taxable profits in one company can be offset against tax losses and tax loss carry forwards in other group companies. Deferred tax/deferred tax asset has been calculated on temporary differences to the extent that it is likely that these can be utilised in each country and for Norwegian entities the group has applied a rate of 22%.
The ownership of Hyundai Glovis is 11.0% at the end of 2023 and the share income is thus considered tax free.
Dividends from Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd. are subject to 15% withholding tax in Republic of Korea.

We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.
We have been the auditor of the Company for 8 years from the election by the general meeting of the shareholders on 12 February 2016 for the accounting year 2016.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information in the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of Directors' report nor the other information accompanying the financial statements.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The purpose is to consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements and the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors' report or the other information accompanying the financial statements. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors' report
Our opinion on the Board of Director's report applies correspondingly to the statements on Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with simplified application of international accounting standards according to the Norwegian Accounting Act section 3-9, and for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other

matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
As part of the audit of the financial statements of Treasure ASA, we have performed an assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements included in the annual report, with the file name 5967007LIEEXZXFNUW59-2023-12-31-en , have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) and regulation pursuant to Section 5-5 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format, and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements, included in the annual report, have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF regulation.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the annual report in compliance with the ESEF regulation. This responsibility comprises an adequate process and such internal control as management determines is necessary.
