Group result

Total income for the Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group (referred to as Wilhelmsen or group) was USD 253 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 8% from the corresponding period last year and down 2% from the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was due to higher income in Maritime Services while income was down for New Energy.

Financial items were a net expense of USD 6 million while tax expenses were USD 5 million for the quarter.

Net profit to equity holders of the company was USD 143 million for the quarter, equal to USD 3.24 earnings per share (EPS).

ESG Index

The group's internal index measures ESG performance in four 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 0.9 which means the group ESG activities are on or better than targeted.

The overall group ESG index result was 0.85 for the third quarter. The improvement compared with the second quarter, was mainly related to positive developments in greenhouse gas emissions reduction activities and an increase in the number of supplier ESG assessments and audits. The quarter was impacted by a higher employee turnover rate compared with target, and lower mandatory training completion rates compared with target. Regrettably during the third quarter, there was one seafarer work-related fatality.

Environment

Our ambition is to shape the maritime industry's transition towards net zero emissions and capitalize on green growth.

Scope 1 GHG emissions were 18.21% (312 tCO2e) lower in the third quarter compared with the same quarter in 2022 (base year). Renewable energy accounted for 41% of the electricity consumption. Development of our Scope 3 GHG emissions inventory progressed in the quarter.

Social

Our ambition is to have a safe and engaging workplace with no harm to people, with a culture where each employee is valued for their contribution.

In the third quarter, the lost time injury (LTI) frequency results were within target. There was regrettably one LTI case related to seafarers (work-related fatality). In addition, the group recorded five LTI cases related to onshore employees in the period. Mitigating actions have been initiated.

Headcount increased by 1% in the quarter, and gender balance was on target with 30% females in top three management positions. The employee turnover rate was negatively above target.

Governance

Our ambition is to be a responsible, trusted, and compliant value chain partner.

Internal ESG related controls/audits were on target for the quarter. Supplier ESG assessments and audits were above target for the quarter and will be above target for the year. Implementation of our new supplier code of conduct continued in the quarter. The percentage completion rate for mandatory training was below target in the quarter.

Maritime Services segment

Total income for the Maritime Services segment was USD 178 million in the third quarter. This was up 14% from the corresponding period last year but down 4% from the previous quarter. All main activities had a year-over-year increase in total income, driven by volume growth, new acquisitions, and inflationary effect on pricing.

EBITDA was USD 24 million, up 1% year-over-year and down 20% from the previous quarter. The EBITDA margin was down for the quarter due to higher employee expenses.

Share of profit from joint ventures and associates was USD 2 million in the quarter. Financial items were an expense of USD 6 million, including a net FX loss of USD 1 million. Tax expense was USD 3 million for the quarter.

The quarter ended with a profit to equity holders of the company of USD 10 million.

Ships Service

Wilhelmsen Ships Service offers a portfolio of maritime solutions to the merchant fleet.

Total income for Ships Service was USD 115 million. This was up 15% from the corresponding period last year and down 3% from the previous quarter. Year-over year, income was lifted by a combination of higher volumes, price increases, and acquisitions. Volume was up for most product categories despite some fallback in the third quarter. The price increases mainly reflected higher product and freight cost. Acquisition growth included Stromme, a specialised cargo hold cleaning company in the marine industry acquired in September 2022, and Navadan, a tank and cargo hold cleaning company acquired in January 2023.

Port Services

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

Total income for Port Services was USD 37 million. This was up 10% from the corresponding period last year and down 2% from the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the acquisition of Vopak Agencies, completed in December 2022. Vopak Agencies is a leading provider of hub services and port agency within the tanker segments in Europe. Higher number of appointments (port calls) also had a positive impact, while income per appointment was down.

Total income for Ship Management was USD 22 million, up 26% from the corresponding period last year and down 2% from the previous quarter.

Other activities

This includes Wilhelmsen Chemicals, Wilhelmsen Insurance Services and Global Business Services (all fully owned by Wilhelmsen) and certain other activities reported under the Maritime Services segment.

New Energy segment

Total income for the New Energy segment was USD 74 million in the third quarter. This was down 2% from the corresponding period last year and up 1% from the previous quarter. Year-over-year, total income in NorSea (Energy Infrastructure) was up but this was offset by loss of income from NorSea Wind.

EBITDA was USD 14 million, up 10% from the corresponding period last year and up 28% from the previous quarter. The increase followed from improved EBITDA in NorSea, including a more favourable activity mix in logistics and higher contribution from property activities.

Share of profit from joint ventures and associates was USD 4 million in the third quarter, while financial items were included with a net expense of USD 2 million. Interest expenses were up from last year and the previous quarter following a general increase in interest rates. This was offset by a USD 3 million gain on financial assets. Tax expense was USD 1 million for the quarter.

Profit to equity holders of the company was USD 8 million for the quarter.

Total income for NorSea was USD 74 million in the third quarter, up 15% year-over-year and up 1% from the previous quarter. The Danish operation continued to be the main driver behind the year-over-year income growth. This follows from a new material offshore contract in the Danish sector which became operational during the third quarter of 2022. Compared with the second quarter, income was up mainly due to an increase in Norwegian logistics activities.

Share of profit from joint ventures and associates in NorSea was USD 1 million in the third quarter.

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 is presently supported by a predominantly positive global shipping market. At the same time, inflationary pressure, raw material shortages, and supply chain issues are putting pressure on both the operation and on operating margins. We expect these factors to remain in the short term.

Looking further ahead, we believe that the Maritime Services market will continue to grow, supported by a growing world economy. With global networks and strong brands built over many years, and with a long history of innovation and market adaption, 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 constraints following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have increased 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 remain in the short term.

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.

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 favorable 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 the short term.

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 inflationary pressure, supply chain issues, and geopolitical tension, the group retains its capacity to support and grow the portfolio, and to deliver consistent yearly dividends.

Note 1 - Accounting principles

General information

This consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS 34), "interim financial reporting". The consolidated interim financial reporting should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year end 31 December 2022 for Wilh.Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group, which has been prepared in accordance with IFRS endorsed by the EU.

Basic policies

The accounting policies implemented are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group for the year end 31 December 2022 except for the investment in Hyundai Glovis Co. Ltd. ("Hyundai Glovis").

Change in accounting method of the group's investment in Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd.

As of September 30, 2023 the group holds a 78.48% 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.

Basis for change in accounting method

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.

From September 30, 2023 the group has changed the accounting method and 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").

On September 11, 2023 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 December 31, 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.The group concludes, based on its own assessment of facts and circumstances, that the group does not hold significant influence over Hyundai Glovis as described in IAS 28, and therefore does not agree with NFSA's conclusion that significant influence is present. However , the group will comply with NFSA's requirement and have decided to change the accounting treatment accordingly.

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 investment in Hyundai Glovis had been recognised in accordance with the equity method for each period, including quarterly reporting periods, starting from the reporting period ending December 31, 2020. The restated figures for 2020, 2021 and 2022 have not been audited.

Impact of the change on accounting method on the group's consolidated financial statements

The impact on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 is an increase in total equity and retained earnings of USD 8.6 million, with an increase of USD 6.7 million attributable to equity holders of the parent and an increase of USD 1.8 million attributable to non-controlling interests.

The group's financial statements on and after the period ending September 30, 2023 are restated in Note 18.

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 September 2023 are liquid investment grade bonds (analogous for 2022).

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

No 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.

In addition Maritime Services have several transactions with associates. The contracts governing such transactions are based on commercial market terms.

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