2021 saw many highlights for the group. The year further positioned Wilhelmsen well for the future and a world that is increasingly demanding clean energy and sustainable maritime solutions. As you will read later, we can't do it alone.
While we celebrated 160 years in business, the Wilhelmsen group had yet another calendar year full of events. COVID-19 continued to be a major influence in 2021, but there were also inflationary concerns, supply chain issues and ongoing geopolitical tensions. The fight for talent and pressure on wages were additional challenges we continue to face.
Despite the many challenges, we also saw a solid uptick in global shipping activities leading to an 8% income increase for the group. This is thanks to several thousand dedicated people in the Wilhelmsen group working across the largest maritime network in the world including some 10 000 seafarers. Our strong results can be dedicated to our hard working and resilient employees, and to our loyal customers. Thank you!
In addition to solid financial results, we continued to build for the future. Our internal company structure was redesigned, most notably with the establishment of our New Energy segment and the USD 500 million investment ambition within renewable energy and decarbonisation. We have also decided to have a net zero carbon footprint from our own operations before 2030.
Our extensive maritime offshore experience and infrastructure, combined with our ambitions and ability to facilitate innovative partnerships, is our recipe for exploring opportunities related to the green shift.
While we see great business potential related to green opportunities, we stand at a crossroads. Customers want to explore new energy solutions, but struggle to make the big step, as there are still too many uncertainties related to both the availability and price of renewable energy. Wilhelmsen would like to explore new technological solutions but are challenged with a slow-moving or complete lack of regulatory environment. Who should make the first move? With the "code red for humanity" report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we all know that we need to step up to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are threatening our
common future. We are ready to make the necessary steps, but are dependent on banks supporting us, customers willing to take the risk, authorities paving the way for new energy solutions and a safe environment for businesses taking action.
If I was fresh out of university now, I would consider my career path carefully, and my values would play an important factor in my plans. Attracting not only newly educated talent, but seasoned professionals will demand a sound and transparent company profile. People want to work for companies that make a difference, that dare to challenge and prove that things can always get better. Although I am biased, I think Wilhelmsen is such a place, and we are demonstrating it by how we act. In this report and our ESG report especially, you can read about the big and small efforts we are making to decarbonise the maritime industry through zero emission vessels to 3D printed spare parts produced locally on demand, just to name two examples. You will also read about how we spend time and resources in ensuring our employees continue to build their competencies and experience.
I am immensely proud of our company, and our people who kept everything running regardless of the obvious challenges.
2022 and onwards will be interesting and exciting. I am curious to know how fast we can make the necessary steps towards a greener future and ensure long term profitability for our shareholders. I am confident we will keep making sustainable choices and continue to be driven forward by our people and culture.
*Writing my CEO letter at the beginning of February 2022, as we prepare for the launch of this report in March, the world is very different and much darker place. The awful situation in Ukraine is producing unwanted and unforeseen humanitarian, geopolitical and economic issues. We are all affected. For the group, our practical support for our Ukrainian colleagues at sea and onshore is unwavering, and I speak on behalf of everyone at Wilhelmsen in sending our sympathies to everyone impacted by the conflict in the region.
Currently females represent 36% of our land-based work force and 22% of senior management positions. The Wilhelmsen group's target is to have at least 40% of each gender in senior management positions by 2030.
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA
The Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding group (Wilhelmsen or group) 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. Wilhelmsen's ambition is to develop companies within maritime services, shipping, logistics, renewables, and related infrastructure through active ownership.
Guided by its vision of shaping the maritime industry, Wilhelmsen has in 2021 continued the work to support transition to a more sustainable future. This includes projects and new investments within energy transition and the decarbonisation of shipping.
Wilhelmsen also continued to deliver return to its shareholders, with an increase in operating result, net profit, share price, and dividend payment for the year.
In 2021, the global economy rebounded while large parts of the world were still in partial lockdown due to the pandemic. This created a strain on global supply chains as well as inflationary pressure. The Wilhelmsen operating companies benefitted from the increase in economic activities, but the ongoing pandemic also continued to affect the group's operation. Most office staff were required to work from home during large parts of the year, and the situation related to crew changes remained challenging. The board would once again like to thank all crew and onshore employees for their extraordinary efforts during the pandemic.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen re-designed the portfolio to intensify the growth of maritime service and increase the focus on renewable energy and decarbonisation. In addition to accelerating the transition of existing businesses, Wilhelmsen decided to invest in new businesses related to the renewable sector. A new business segment named New Energy was established, including among others, the ongoing transformation of NorSea Group, offshore wind activities, and activities within autonomous shipping and decarbonisation solutions.
Wilhelmsen is now organised around three distinct business segments:
Maritime Services deliver value creating solutions to the global merchant fleet, focusing on Marine Products, Ships Agency, and Ship Management. In 2021, Wilhelmsen further expanded its range of products and services, including specialist lubrications and segment specific vessel management. Supporting the shipping industry during the pandemic continued as a focus area, including crew changes. Total income for Maritime Services was up for the year, while EBITDA was stable.
The formation of the New Energy segment brings together several Wilhelmsen companies, joint ventures, and partnerships with unique competencies which complement each other. Focus is on creating new opportunities and partnerships in renewables, zero-emission shipping, and marine digitalisation. In 2021, the group made further initiatives related to offshore wind licensing, marine minerals, and hydrogen vessels. Following further investment in Edda Wind ASA, the company completed a public listing in December. Total income and EBITDA for New Energy were up for the year.
The two main assets of the Strategic Holdings and Investments segment are the shareholdings in Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA, and the shareholding in Hyundai Glovis which is owned through Treasure ASA. Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA had a positive development during the year, with a strong increase in both net profit and market value. For Hyundai Glovis, the share price and market value was down for the year.
The Wilhelmsen group maintained a strong equity base throughout 2021. By the end of the year, the equity ratio based on book values was 65% and equity attributable to equity holders of the company exceeded USD 2 billion.
Liquidity also remained strong. Cash and cash equivalents totalled USD 231 million by end of the year, with total liquidity increasing to USD 1 054 million if including all financial assets. The main loan facility in Maritime Service is maturing in 2022
and the main loan facility in New Energy matures in 2023. A refinancing process has been initiated for both.
Wilhelmsen's goal is to provide shareholders with a high return over time through a combination of rising value for the company's shares and payment of dividend. To strengthen the alignment of the senior executives' and shareholders' long-term interests, the long-term incentive scheme for senior executives is based on an increase in value adjusted equity above certain thresholds and other long term strategic targets.
The Wilhelmsen share price reflected a general positive market sentiment, ending the year with a strong gain. In 2021, total weighted return including share price development and paid dividend was 26.4%, based on a total return of 27.2% for the WWI share and a total return of 23.8% for the WWIB share.
Wilhelmsen has an objective of consistent yearly dividend paid twice annually. A first dividend of NOK 5.00 per share was paid in May, and a second dividend of NOK 3.00 per share was paid in December. The first dividend included NOK 2.00 in extraordinary dividend to compensate for the reduced dividend payout in 2020.
In September, Wilhelmsen reduced the share capital through cancellation of 537 092 own Class A shares and 1 286 732 own Class B shares. After the capital reduction, the company has 44 580 000 shares divided into 34 000 000 Class A shares and 10 580 000 Class B shares.
The board believes sound corporate governance is the foundation for profitable growth and a healthy company culture. Good governance contributes to reduced risk and creates value over time for shareholders and other stakeholders. The board is committed to a sustainable strategy which is a vital prerequisite for Wilhelmsen to be a profitable
and responsible player in the industry and society. In 2021, ethics and anti-corruption, health, safety and wellness, cyber security, business offering and model innovation, decarbonisation of shipping and maritime services, renewable energy transition, and reducing marine litter and pollution received particular attention.
In 2022, Wilhelmsen will continue to develop the group to the benefit of customers, shareholders, and the wider society, building on a more than 160-year history of shaping the maritime industry.

The Wilhelmsen group consists of a diversified portfolio of operating companies, and strategic holdings and investments. Most activities are within or related to the maritime industry, where Wilhelmsen has extensive competence and a long experience in managing risks.
The group is committed to managing risks in a sound manner related to its businesses and operations. To accomplish this, the governing concept of conscious strategy and controllable procedures for risk mitigation ultimately provides a positive impact on profitability. Governing boards, management, and employees will monitor the environment in which the companies operate, and implement measures to mitigate risks, prepare to act upon unusual observations, threats or incidents, and respond to risks to mitigate consequences. The group has put in place a risk monitoring process based on identification of risks for each business unit, and with a group risk matrix presented to the board on a quarterly basis for review and necessary actions.
| Group risk matrix | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Risk type | Entity | Risk | Mitigation action |
| Macro | All | Geopolitical issues | Adequate equity and liquidity. |
| Macro | All | Global financial outlook | Balanced portfolio of well managed businesses. |

An overview of main risks and mitigation actions defined in the group risk matrix are outlined in the table above.
In addition, the group's exposure to, and mitigation of, certain financial risk is further described in note 19 to the 2021 group accounts.
The company conducts its business with respect for human rights and labour standards, including conventions and guidelines related to the prevention of child or forced labour, minimum wage and salary, working conditions and freedom of association. Employees and external stakeholders are encouraged to report on non-compliant behaviour through the group's global whistleblowing system.
In 2021, there were around 42.8 million exposure hours (work hours) in the group. Vessel based operations accounted for 79% of total exposure hours and onshore operations accounted for 21%.
The group's variety of ongoing initiatives to maintain a healthy work environment continued to be important in the second year of the pandemic. The focus was on physical and mental health, working conditions including working from home, employee assistance program, safe social activities, employee engagement surveys and opportunities for personal development.
The sickness absence rate was 2.05% for onshore operations and 0.02% on vessels, in line with previous year. There were two onshore occupational disease cases recorded in 2021 resulting from work-related stress.
The turnover rate for employees was 12.74% in 2021, in line with previous years. The turnover rate varies between business units.
Regrettably, there was one work related fatality of a seafarer in 2021, re-enforcing the need to continuously apply and improve measures that secure a safe work environment and a robust safety culture for all employees.
The lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) rate for sailing personnel was 0.35, within the target not to exceed 0.40. The total recordable case frequency (TRCF) rate was 1.26, within the target not to exceed 2.80. The targets will remain the same for 2022.
During the year, safety campaigns focused on COVID-19 measures and mental health and wellness. Crew changes were conducted where possible, when risk mitigation conditions were met, and according to international and local guidelines. Management continued to be active in measures to enable the safe and unhindered movement of seafarers to and from their workplace.
For onshore operations, campaigns focused on safety risks, COVID-19 measures, and mental and physical health and wellness including the working from home situation.
The LTIF rate onshore was 0.36 in 2021, within target not to exceed 0.40. The TRCF rate result of 0.52 was within target not to exceed 1.00. The targets will remain the same for 2022.
All reported incidents were investigated to avoid similar incidents in the future, improve necessary training, and awareness measures.
The management cooperates closely with employees through several bodies, including the joint working committee and the executive committee for industrial democracy in foreign trade shipping. This cooperation gives valuable input to solve company related issues in a constructive way. In 2021, both committees held official meetings according to plan.
The joint working committee discusses issues related to health, work environment and safety.
The executive committee for industrial democracy in foreign trade shipping considers general business, financial and governance issues of importance to the company and the workforce.
The group's head office is in Norway, and the group has 239 offices in 60 countries within its controlled structure. The group employed 10 988 seafarers and 4 476 land-based employees at the end of 2021.
Wilhelmsen has a clear policy stating that employees have the right to equal opportunities. Harassment and discrimination based on race, gender or similar grounds, or other behaviour that may be perceived as threatening or degrading, is not acceptable.
Females represent 36% of the land-based work force, 22% of senior management positions, and 1% of the seafarer work force. The group's target is to have at least 40% of each gender in senior management positions by 2030.
One of the five members of the company's group management is female and two of the five directors on the board of directors of Wilhelmsen are female.
In 2021, a gender pay gap analysis was conducted for employees in Norway, pointing to some need for improvements including finetuning of job profiles. The analysis is included in the group's ESG report, available on wilhelmsen.com.
Wilhelmsen strives to maintain a performance culture where engaged employees deliver the right results the right way and are rewarded accordingly.
Employee performance and engagement is measured through annual surveys and performance appraisals.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen conducted an employee engagement survey including specific questions related to the working from home situation in response to the pandemic.
The results point to continued positive engagement and mental well-being, and employees have been able to carry out their work equally well from home as in the workplace.
There is always room for improvement. Senior management and individual managers in all locations were required to conduct follow up discussions with their teams. Where results were less than the expected benchmark, managers were required to implement specific actions to improve results.
The purpose of Wilhelmsen's compensation and benefit framework is to drive performance and to attract and retain employees with the right experience and knowledge deemed necessary to achieve the company's business objectives and strategic ambitions. The framework takes local regulations and competition into account, as well as the responsibility and complexity of the position.
The bonus schemes are one of several instruments to drive performance. Bonus is paid if set bonus targets are reached. Compensation to executives is described in the Remuneration report available on Wilhelmsen.com.
Learning and innovation is one of the group's core values, and Wilhelmsen places particular emphasis on continuous learning through its learn-share-apply method. The main learning method is through on-the-job experiences, tasks and problem-solving feedback, coaching (formal and informal) and networks. Formal classroom courses, e-learning, seminars, and videos supplement this approach.
A learning organisation with motivated employees contributes to efficient operations and has a positive impact on the financial performance.
Personal development plans for all employees are integrated in the performance appraisal and review process. In 2021, the average hours of formal training recorded per employee was eight hours, consistent with previous years.
To meet challenging and changing environments, Wilhelmsen is dependent on highly capable leaders.
In 2021, approximately 1000 leaders completed two modules of the group's continuous leadership development journey. The modules were 8-12 weeks in duration and focused on the group's leadership expectations and leading in challenging times. Additional modules will be undertaken in 2022.
In 2021, there were 28 whistles received related to allegations of fraud/corruption, data protection, health and safety, and HR related matters.
In 26 of the whistles, the reported issues have been concluded with appropriate action taken, while two were pending a conclusion at year end.
The COVID-19 situation has continued to be a challenge during 2021 for compliance activities that require travel and physical presence at our locations, such as investigations and audits. Scheduled internal business standards audits were postponed due to the situation, and follow up of potential irregularities were conducted by providing guidance and instructions to local and regional resources. Some internal fraud cases have been detected, with three cases being reported to the police.
To continue competence building with employees, the new business standards program was rolled out in 2021 with a 100% participation rate. The program includes the areas of anticorruption, theft and fraud, whistleblowing, competition law and, personal data protection. A refresher version of this program will be rolled out in 2022.
Wilhelmsen works to manage environmental risks and reduce the environmental impact of our own and our customers' operations. Significant aspects include greenhouse gas emissions; pollution to air, land and water, and biodiversity.
When delivering full technical management, crewing and related services for all major vessel types, Wilhelmsen is in a good position to influence compliant, sensible, safe and environmentally sound operations for vessel owners. The ongoing goal is to work with customers to optimize vessel and voyage operations, collaboration on the decarbonisation of shipping, and development of alternative fuels including hydrogen.
Operational sites and bases set environmental targets and improvement projects based on their individual site risk assessments. The operations for Wilhelmsen Chemicals and NorSea Group are certified according to the ISO 14001 standard. Focus areas include energy and emissions, material inputs, water use, waste and recycling, oil separators, tanks and chemical and handling. Activities related to energy transition and emissions reductions in NorSea Group include the installation of shore power, gradual electrification of the machine park, and supporting infrastructure development to contribute to the hydrogen and carbon capture value chains.
Wilhelmsen promotes responsible consumption and recycling programs onboard and onshore and is proactive in reducing plastics in vessel operations by introducing requirements towards suppliers and facilitating industry initiatives to reduce single use plastics in the maritime industry.
Wilhelmsen is exposed to physical and transition climate risks on a general basis and related to specific group companies.
The energy transition and the decarbonisation of shipping are the backdrop for the transition risks for the group, but also present significant opportunities. Wilhelmsen continues to work with partners to drive energy infrastructure transformation and maritime decarbonisation. This includes services to the offshore wind industry, projects related to zero emission and autonomous vessel operation, enabling the hydrogen value chain, and digital services.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen established its greenhouse gas emissions inventory for scope 1 and 2 emissions in consolidated companies. Several data collection and reporting improvement actions have been identified to continue to build a robust reporting framework over time. The group established long term ambitions towards net zero emissions, and science-based targets for consolidated companies will be developed in 2022.
The board believes sound corporate governance is a foundation for profitable growth and that it provides a healthy company culture. A good governance contributes to reducing risk and creating long-term value for shareholders and other stakeholders.
Wilhelmsen observes the Norwegian Code of Practice for corporate governance, in addition to requirements specified in the Norwegian Public Companies Act and the Norwegian Accounting Act. The board's corporate governance report for 2021 can be found on wilhelmsen.com. It is the board's view that the company has an appropriate governance structure and that it is managed in a satisfactory way. The corporate governance report is to be considered by the annual general meeting on 27 April 2022.
Wilhelmsen assesses environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in its investment analysis, business decisions, ownership practices and financial reporting. The company has a sustainability policy that addresses human rights, working standards and environmental responsibility.
Wilhelmsen subscribes to the ten principles of the UNGC and works actively to partner with other serious actors to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. During 2021, the group contributed to task forces related to ocean health, climate, crew change challenges, and marine pollution.
The board is committed to a sustainable strategy and acknowledges that it is a vital prerequisite for Wilhelmsen to be a profitable and responsible player in the industry and society at large. Wilhelmsen issues an environmental, social and governance (ESG) report following the guidelines set forward in the Global Reporting Initiative's sustainability reporting standards. The report describes how Wilhelmsen integrates ESG factors with long-term profitability.
The ESG report is available on wilhelmsen.com.
In 2021, the following areas received particular attention:
• Reducing marine litter and pollution.
The company's achievements included:
The company conducts materiality assessments to ensure attention is focused on material aspects of the group's business.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen conducted a materiality assessment where 14 material topics were identified. The group determined four strategic topics of focus for activities and reporting.
These topics will be integrated in the group's strategy and reported in the ESG report.
The company is regularly in dialogue with key stakeholders who engage in issues relating to the maritime industry and the activities of the Wilhelmsen group. The dialogue contributes to understanding the expectations of the community and transferring them to the group. It also enables the company to communicate decisions to stakeholders and provide them with explanations for our underlying motives.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen engaged in dialogues with governments, investors, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders discussing topics related to the group or industry at large. Topics covered included financial issues, compliance, innovation, decarbonisation of shipping, renewable energy and ESG in general.
The work of the nomination committee follows the guidelines approved by the annual general meeting on 30 April 2019. In line with the guidelines and the procedures described on wilhelmsen.com, shareholders and other interested parties have been invited to put forward candidates for the board and the nomination committee. The committee has also been in contact with shareholders, the board, and the company's executive personnel as part of its work on proposing candidates for election.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (D&O) is for the 2021 accounting year placed with AIG, AXA XL and Risk Point. The Insured names Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA and includes any subsidiaries world-wide not excluded in the policy. 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) |
|
|---|---|
| Profit for the year | 694 030 |
| To equity Proposed dividend Interim dividend paid |
381 970 178 320 133 740 |
| Total allocations | 694 030 |
The board is proposing a NOK 4.00 dividend per share payable during the second quarter of 2022, representing a total payment of NOK 178 million. The board also proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the board to declare a second dividend of up to NOK 3.00 per share.
The board is granted an authorisation to, on behalf of the company, acquire up to 10% of the company's own issued shares. The authorisation is valid until the annual general meeting in 2022, but no longer than to 30 June 2022. In 2021, Wilhelmsen cancelled 537 092 own Class A shares and 1 286 732 own Class B shares acquired in 2019. The company presently do not own any own shares.
Wilhelmsen's ambition is to develop successful businesses within maritime services, shipping, logistics, renewables, and related infrastructure through active ownership.
Since last year's strategic review, "facts on the ground" have changed, warranting a greater macroeconomic focus. The board and management have in its latest strategic review decided to focus on inflation and its potential implications for the group, in addition to broader macroeconomic developments, the energy transition, and technological developments.
The impact on Wilhelmsen from the invasion of Ukraine is uncertain. The group has limited direct operations in Ukraine and Russia.
Maritime Services deliver value creating solutions to the global merchant fleet, and with Ships Service and Ship Management as the two main operating entities. In 2022, Ships Services will be re-organized and Ships Agency activities separated into a new entity named Port Services.
Ships Service, after separating out Ships Agency and certain other activities, deliver a wide range of products to the merchant fleet globally. The present high activity level within most shipping segments has a positive impact on operating income, and with an upside potential related to activity level within cruise.
Port Services (previously Ships Agency) deliver husbandry and agency services in 2 000 ports globally. The safe handling of services during a pandemic will continue to impact the operation in 2022.
Ship Management provides full technical management, crewing and related services for all major vessel types. Recent expansion into the container and tanker segments and offshore wind, mainly through joint ventures, will create a platform for further growth.
The formation of the New Energy segment in 2021 brough together a number of Wilhelmsen companies, joint ventures and partnerships with unique competencies which complement each other. Focus will be on creating new opportunities and collaborations in renewables, zero-emission shipping, and marine digitalisation. At the start of 2022, the two largest operations are in NorSea Group and Edda Wind ASA.
NorSea Group, where Wilhelmsen has a 75.2% shareholding, provides supply bases and integrated logistics solution to the offshore industry The present offshore activity level is expected to remain in the medium term, including seasonal variations.
Edda Wind ASA, where Wilhelmsen has a 25.7% shareholding, provides service to the global offshore wind industry. Early 2022, Edda Wind ordered three new vessels, increasing its future fleet capacity from eight to 11 vessels. Edda Wind expects that having a number of vessels under construction with attractive delivery dates and firm cost places the company in a favorable position.
In February, Wilhelmsen agreed to acquire a 21% stake in Reach Subsea ASA. Reach Subsea operates remotely-operated underwater vehicles, and is listed on Oslo Børs.
This includes the strategic holdings in Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA and Treasure ASA, other financial and non-financial investments, and other activities reported under the Strategic Holdings and Investments segment.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA, where Wilhelmsen has a 37.8% shareholding, is a market leader in shipping and logistics services to the global automotive, rolling equipment, and breakbulk industries. Wallenius Wilhelmsen expects the supply-demand balance in its shipping activities to remain favorable over the mid-term, and for logistics volumes to benefit from improved automotive semiconductor chip supply.
Treasure ASA, where Wilhelmsen has a 74.8% shareholding, is an investment company with an 11% shareholding in Hyundai Glovis as the main asset. Treasure ASA expects the value of its main asset to fluctuate in line with the general equity indexes of the Korean Stock Exchange.
Wilhelmsen holds leading positions in several maritime industry segments. The combined forces of extensive business knowledge, global network, innovative organisation, and strong solidity will continue to support the development of the group.

The group offers a wide range of products to the maritime industry. The products are delivered to the customer at vessel or warehouse, which is also the point in time where control transfers to the customer and revenue is recognised net of any discounts. Some customers are entitled to retrospective volume discounts based on aggregate sales over a defined period. Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only reconised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A refund liability (included in other current liabilities) is recongised for expected volume discounts payable to customers in relations to sales made until the end of the reporting period. The contracts typically has payment terms of 30 days after delivery, and no significant financing component is identified.
The group offers ships agency services coverering 2 200 port locations world wide. The agents facilitates efficent port calls for vessels, by procuring goods and services on behalf of the customers and to assist with required permits and custom declaration assocuated with the port call. Prior to the port call, the customer is required to make available funds for the expected disbursements (pre funding). Following the completion of the services the group prepare a final disbursement account to the customer documenting all disbusement for the port call. The group is only acting as an agent, and control of goods and services transfers directly from the relevant suppliers to the customer. The group does not have inventory risk or the discretion on establishing prices. For the services rendered, the group is entitled to a fee that consist of a payment based on services delivered to customer.
Wilhelmsen Ship Management (WSM) offers technical management and crew management for all vessel segments. The contract durations follow industry standards, and will usually include an annual compensation payable in monthly arreas, in addition the ship owner is charged a monthly fee per crew onboard the vessel. The ship owner simultaniously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity, and hence revenenue is recognised over time. Since WSM has the right to invoice the services delivered at the end of each month, this is also the basis for revenue recognition. The invoices are payable 30 days after the end of each month.
Infrastructure
The New Energy segment, including the NorSea Group operates supply bases and provide integrated logistics solution to the offshore industry. Revenues from external customers come from sale of services to the offshore industry (Operations), from the rental of properties (Property) and from the sale of services to other industries (Other). The duration of the operations contracts varies from 3 to 10 years. The pricing of the contracts are mainly based on delivered quantity via supply bases. The group is a lessor for parts of the properties located on or near the bases. This is typically warehouses and some office facilities. This is ordinary operational lease contracts with a typical duration of 2 to 7 years. For contracts with a duration of more than one year the rent is adjusted annually based on commonly used indexes. Lease revenue is usually recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.
The group provides a range of technology and digital solutions to the shipping industry. Revenue is recognised net of any discounts at delivery. Revenue is recognised based on time and place of delivery, and transfer of control, or services rendered, and depend on agreed delivery terms but usually when the customer receives the goods and services.
The group provides technical management and crew management for the offshore wind market. The contracts have a typical duration of five years. The custmers simultaniously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the group, and hence revenenue is recognised over time. The invoices are payable 30 days after the end of each month.
The operation revenue is related to inhouse services to external customers as office rent and canteen services.
In general the contracts with customers are of a short term nature, except for the framework agreements described under New Energy Infrastructure and Ship Management. For infrastructure the framework agreements can be for a period of up to 10 years, but do not define any minimum volume. For Ship Management contracts the customer can terminate the contract without cause on a 3 months basis. Because of this there is no significant unsatisfied performance obligations as of year end.
Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or control jointly. This is generally the case where the group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.
Under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.
Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted subsequently to recognise the group's share of the postacquisition profits after tax of the investee in income statement, and the group's share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. 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.
Where the group's share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity-accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment when impairment indicators are present.
When the group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

Properties, vessels and other tangible assets acquired by group companies are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis. The carrying value of tangible assets equals the historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges. The group's aquisition costs are recognised in the income statement when they arise. Aquisition costs are capitalised to the extent that they are directly related to the acquisition of the asset. Land is not depreciated. Other tangible assets are depreciated over the following expected useful lives:
| Properties: | 10-50 years |
|---|---|
| Vessels: | 25 years |
| Other tangible assets: | 3-10 years |
Each component of a tangible asset which is significant for the total cost of the item will be depreciated separately. Components with similar useful lives will be included in a single component.
The estimated residual value and expected useful life of long-lived assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date, and where they differ significantly from previous estimates, depreciation charges will be changed accordingly going forward.
The group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether property, vessels and other tangible assets is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.
At each reporting date the accounts are assessed whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Assets that are subject to amortisation or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, estimates of the asset's recoverable amount are done. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units – "CGU"). The recoverable amount is the highest of the fair market value of the asset, less cost to sell, and the net present value ("NPV") of future estimated cash flow from the employment of the asset ("value in use").
The NPV is based on a discount rate according to a weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") reflecting the company's required rate of return. The WACC is calculated based on the company's long-term borrowing rate and a risk-free rate plus a risk premium for the equity. If the recoverable amount is lower than the book value, impairment has occurred, and the asset shall be revalued. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
The group has financial models which calculate and determine the value in use through a combination of actual and expected cash flow generation discounted to present value. The expected future cash flow generation and models are based on assumptions and estimates.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary, joint venture or associate. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries is classified as an intangible asset. Goodwill acquired through business combinations are allocated to the relevant cashgenerating unit ("CGU").
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
Trademark, technology/licenses and customer relationship have a finite life and are recognised at historical cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and licenses over their estimated useful life. Capitalised expenses related to other intangible assets are amortised over the expected useful lives in accordance with the straight-line method.
Amortisation of intangible fixed assets is based on the following expected useful lives:
| Goodwill: | Indefinite life |
|---|---|
| Software and licenses: | 3-5 years |
| Other intangible assets: | 5-10 years |
The group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether goodwill or other intangible asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of an interest in an associated company is included under investment in associated companies and tested for impairment as part of the carried amount of the investment when impairment indicators is present. Goodwill have an indefinite useful life not subject to amortisation and is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less impairment losses. Gain or loss on the sale of a business includes the carried amount of goodwill related to the sold business.
For impairment testing goodwill is allocated to relevant CGU. The allocation is made to those CGU or groups of CGU which are expected to benefit from the acquisition. An assessment is made as to whether the carrying amount of the goodwill can be justified by future earnings from the CGU to which the goodwill relates. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of the CGU, including goodwill, goodwill will be written down first. Thereafter the carrying amount of the CGU will be written down. Impairment losses related to goodwill cannot be reversed.
Impairment of other intangible assets follow the same principles as impairment for other non-financial assets, refer to financial reporting principles for property, vessels, and other tangible assets above.

When performing the goodwill impairment test, recoverable amount is calculated using estimated fair value less cost of disposal. In calculating the fair value less cost of disposal, the group considers relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar group of assets, including qualitative and quantitative information.
Fair value less cost of disposal has been estimated by using an Enterprise value/ EBITDA multiple (see note 23 for definition of the terms). The forecasted EBITDA is based on historical levels for EBITDA in each CGU. The multiples are estimated to be in the range of 6 - 9, which management believes is a fair estimate of market multiples for the relevant CGU's.
Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and next year's forecast. Cash flows is based on a 5-year strategy plan period with terminal value (terminal growth rate 1%) were extrapolated using the following key assumptions:
| 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| USD/NOK | 8.83 | 8.53 |
| Multiple | 7.5 | 6.5 |
| Growth rate | 1-4% | 1-5% |
| Increase in material cost | 4-7% | 1-5% |
| Increase in pay and other remuneration | 2-4% | 1-3% |
| Increase in other expenses | 2-4% | 2-4% |
The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the maritime industry and are based on both external sources and internal sources.
No reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions on which management has based its determination of the recoverable amount would cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount as of December 31 2021.
At the inception of a contract, the group assesses whether the contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To determine whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the group assesses whether:
For contracts that constitutes, or contains a lease, the group separates lease components if it benefits from the use of each underlying asset either on its own or together with other resources readily available, and the underlying asset is neither highly dependent on, nor highly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the contract. The group then accounts for each lease component as a lease separately from non-lease components within the contract. The group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. If an observable stand-alone price is not readily available, the group estimates this price by the use of observable information.
At the lease commencement date, the group recognizes a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset for all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for the following exemptions applied:
For these leases, the group recognizes the lease payments as other operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss when they incur.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term not paid at the commencement date. The lease term represents the noncancellable period of the lease, plus any period covered by an extension option period if the group expect tp exercise this option. The lease payments included in the measurement comprise of:
The group do not include variable lease payments in the lease liability arising from contracted index regulations subject to future events. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, or to reflect adjustments in lease payments due to an adjustment in an index or rate.
If the group cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, it uses its incremental borrowing rate to measure lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate requires estimation when no observable rates are available. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances. The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprise:
Subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets follow the same principles as for other non-financial assets, refer to financial reporting principles for property, vessel and tangible assets note 7, except that the right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the lease term and the remaining useful life.
Impairment of right-of-use assets follow the same principles as impairment for other non-financial assets, refer to financial reporting principles for properties, vessels, and other tangible assets note 7.
The group leases several assets such as buildings, machinery, equipment and vehicles. The group's right-of-use assets are categorised and presented in the table below:

The group leases personal computers, IT equipment and machinery with contract terms of 1 to 3 years. The group has elected to apply the practical expedient of low value assets and does not recognise lease liabilities or right-of-use assets. The leases are instead expensed when they incur. The group has also applied the practical expedient to not recognise lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for shortterm leases, presented in the table above.
The group does not have material lease commitments, not yet commenced and therefore not included in the lease liabilities as of 31 December 2021 (2020: USD 3 million)
The group's lease of buildings have lease terms that varies from 5 years to 25 years, and several agreements involve a right of renewal which may be exercised during the last period of the lease terms. The group assesses at the commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal right.
The group leases machinery, equipment and vehicles with lease terms of 3 to 5 years. Some of these contracts includes a right to purchase the assets at the end of the contract term. The group assesses at the commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the purchase right. All the options are based on market value.
The group has subleased an immaterial part of its redundant office buildings, classified as an operating lease.
Income tax in the income statement consists of current tax, effect of changes in deferred tax/deferred tax assets, and withholding tax incurred in the period. Income tax is recognised in the income statement unless it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date that will be paid during the next 12 months. Current tax also includes any adjustment of taxes from previous years and taxes on dividends recognised in the period.
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on all temporary differences
The ordinary rate of corporation tax in Norway is 22% of net profit for 2021 (2020: 22%). 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 domiciled in what is considered low tax countries and that are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and on share income from companies rdomiciledoutside the EEA in which the company owns less than 10% of the shares.
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
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws which have been enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability settled.
Deferred income 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. Deferred income tax is calculated on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group.
Withholding tax and any related tax credits are generally recognised in the period they are incurred.
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% (2020: 22%).
The effective tax rate for the group will, from period to period, change dependent on the group gains and losses from investments inside the exemption method.
Companies domiciled outside Norway will be subject to local taxation, either on ordinary terms or under special tonnage tax rules. When dividends are paid, local withholding taxes may be applicable. This generally applies to dividends paid by companies domiciled outside the EEA.

The majority of tax loss carry forward is related to entities in Norway and the United States, without expiration of the tax loss carry forward.
Temporary differences related to joint ventures and associates are USD nil for the group, since all the units are regarded as located within the area in which the exemption method applies, and there are currently no plans to dispose of any of these companies.
The Maritime Services segment will have shares in subsidiaries not subject to the exemption method which could give rise to a tax charge in the event of a sale, where no provision has been made for deferred tax associated with a possible sale or dividend. There are currently no plans to dispose of such companies.
Basic/diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit for the period after non-controlling interests, by the average number of total outstanding shares.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the income
Earnings per share taking into consideration the number of outstanding shares in the period. At 31 December 2021 the company owns no own shares. At 31 December 2020 the company own total of 1 823 824 own shares, split on 537 092 A-shares and 1 286 732 B-shares. The shares were cancelled through a capital reduction in September 2021.
Total outstanding ordinary shares as of 31 December 2021 are 34 000 000 A-shares and 10 580 000 B-shares.
attributable to ordinary shareholders and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Treasury shares are not included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares. Weighted average number of diluted and ordinary shares is the same, as the company currently does not have any dilutive instruments.
Earnings per share is calculated based on an average of 44 580 000 shares for 2021 and 44 580 000 shares for 2020.
See note 10 in the parent accounts for an overview of the largest shareholders at 31 December 2021.
A defined contribution plan is one under which the group and the parent company pay fixed contributions to a separate legal entity. The group and the parent company have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
A defined benefit plan is one which is not a defined contribution plan. This type of plan typically defines an amount of pension benefit an employee will receive on retirement, normally dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and pay.
The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation
The group's defined contribution pension schemes for Norwegian employees are with financial institutions providing solutions based on investment funds.
Subsidiaries outside Norway have separate schemes for their employees in accordance with local rules, and the pension schemes are for the material part defined contribution plans.
The group has "Ekstrapensjon", a contribution plan for all Norwegian employees with salaries exceeding 12 times the Norwegian National Insurance base amount (G). However, the group still has obligations for some employees related to salaries exceeding 12G mainly financed from operations.
In addition, the group has agreements on early retirement. These obligations are mainly financed from operations.
is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation. In a few countries without deep markets in such bonds, the market rates on government bonds are used.
The pension obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using a straight-line earnings method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Pastservice costs are recognised immediately in the income statement.
The group has obligation towards one employee in the group's senior executive management. The obligation is mainly covered through group annuity policies in Storebrand.
Pension costs and obligations include payroll taxes. No provision has been made for payroll tax in pension plans where the plan assets exceed the plan obligations.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

Loans and receivables at amortised cost
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, which are not traded in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivable are classified as other current assets or other non-current assets in the balance sheet.
Loans and receivables are recognised initially at their fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred, and the group has transferred by and large all risk and return from the financial asset. Realised gains and losses are recognised in the income statement in the period they arise.
Accounts payable and other payables are recognised at the original invoiced amount, where the invoiced amount is considered to be approximately equal to the vale derived if the amortised cost method would have been applied.

These cylinders are partly in the group's own possession and partly on board customers vessels. Most customers have paid a deposit for the cylinders they have onboard their vessels.
Provisions in other current liabilities, including cylinder deposit liability, does include some degree of uncertainty due to the nature of the provisions. Provisions are calculated and recognised based on available information and assumptions at the
time when the provision is made, and will be updated if needed when new information becomes available.
Account receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as receivables. Account receivables and other receivables are recognised at the original invoiced amount, where the invoiced amount is considered to be approximately equal to the value derived if the amortised cost method would have been applied.
The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets, including receivables from lease contracts.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk charateristics and the days past due.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 month before the reporting period and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The group has identified the GDP and the unemployment rate of the countries in which it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.

Current financial investments consists of financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of profit from short term gains in market value. Current financial investments are measured at fair value. Financial assets measured at fair value are initially
measured at cost less transaction costs expensed in the income statement, and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the income statement. Derivatives are also placed in this category unless designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current.

The group uses derivatives to address financial risk. Derivatives are included in current assets or current liabilities, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets or other non-current liabilities as they form part of the group's long-term economic hedging strategy and are not classified as held for trading.
Derivatives are recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are revalued on a continuous basis at their fair value.
Most derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting are presented in the income statement as financial income/expense.
The group designates certain derivatives as hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).
At the date of the hedging transaction, the group documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the objective of its risk management and the strategy underlying the various hedge transactions. The group also documents the extent to which the applied derivatives are effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flow associated with the hedge items. Such assessments are documented both initially and on an ongoing basis.
The fair value of derivatives used for hedging is shown in note 16 to the group accounts. Changes in the valuation of qualified hedges are recognised directly in other comprehensive income until the hedged transactions are realised.
The group has established hedging strategies to mitigate risks on material exposures originating from movements in currencies and interest rates. This is compliant with the financial strategy approved by the board of directors.
Changes in the market value of financial derivatives are recognised through the income statement except for the New Energy segment, where derivatives are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
Associates hedge their own exposures. The group records the effects of realised and unrealised changes in financial derivatives held in these entities in accordance with the equity method under "share of profit from joint ventures and associates". The material associates are Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA group in Strategic Holdings and Investment segment and Coast Center Base group in New Energy segment.
The group is exposed to currency risk on revenues and costs in non-functional currencies (transaction risk), and balance sheet items denominated in currencies other than non-functional currencies (translation risk).
The fair value of financial derivatives traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial derivatives not traded in an active market is determined using valuation methodology, such as the discounted value of future cash flows. Independent experts verify the value determination for instruments which are considered material.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income together with the deferred tax effect. Gain and loss on the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement. Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income are recognised as income or expense in the income statement in the period when the hedged liability or planned transaction will affect the income statement.
Gain and losses arising from the hedging instruments relating to the effective portions of the net investment hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income. These translation reserves are reclassified to the income statement upon loss of control of the hedged net investments, offsetting the translation differences from these net investments. Any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement as financial income/(expenses).
The group has exposure to the following financial risks from its operations:
The group's largest foreign exchange exposures are NOK, EUR, SGD, AUD and KRW all against USD.
The group's operating segments are responsible for hedging their own material transaction risk. Within Maritime Services, USD/NOK, EUR/USD and USD/SGD exposures are subject to a systematic 3-year rolling hedge program, utilizing a portfolio of currency options and currency forwards. USD/MYR is hedged using currency forwards with maturities up to 12 months. Remaining exposures are non-material and not hedged.
The group's policy for mitigating translation risk is to match the denomination currency of assets and liabilities to as large extent as possible.
The group monitors the net exposure and calculates sensitivities on a regular basis, based on average market volatility per currency cross. Sensitivities showing a potential accounting effect below USD 5 million on group level are considered non-material.

For Maritime Services, New Energy and Strategic Holdings and Investments, material translation risks are booked to other comprehensive income due to the functional currency for most of the entities being different from the reporting currency USD.
The group's segments perform sensitivity analyses on the unhedged part of the transaction risk on a regular basis.
The portfolio of derivatives used to hedge the group's transaction risk (described above), exhibit the following income statement sensitivity:
| Income statement effect (post tax) | (0) | (0) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD/SGD spot rate | 1.21 | 1.28 | 1.35 | 1.42 | 1.48 |

The group's strategy is to hedge material parts of the interest-bearing debt against rising interest rates. As the capital intensity varies across the group's business segments, which have their own policies on hedging of interest rate risk, hedge ratios vary.
Within Strategic Holdings and Investments and Maritime Services respectively, no interest rate hedging is implemented due to low net interest-bearing debt (NIBD), whereas New Energy have hedged about 50% of its NIBD as of 31 December 2021.
The Group has financial liabilities that are exposed to IBOR reference rates. The Group has current interest-bearing liabilities of USD 200 million that have a LIBOR reference rate. These interest-bearing liabilities will be refinanced during 2022.
Other current interest-bearing debt is primarily linked to NIBOR. For interest bearing debt maturing after twelve months NIBOR is the primary reference rate. No date has been set for the transition of NIBOR, however the Group is attentive to the development of the IBOR reform.
The risk exposure related to financial instruments as a consequence of the transition is considered to be low. The IBOR reform will not change the risk management strategy.

The New Energy segment has entered swaption contracts with a notional value of about USD 16 million, with expiry date in 2022. Depending on interest rate levels on the expiry date, exercising the swaptions by the counterparties will extend the maturity of expiring swaps until 2032.
The average remaining term of the existing total debt portfolio is approximately 3 years. The hedges have an average remaining term of approximately 4 years.
The group's interest rate risk originates from differences in duration between assets and liabilities. On the asset side, bank deposits and investments in interest-bearing
instruments are subject to risk from changes in the general level of interest rates, primarily in USD.
The group uses the weighted average duration of interest-bearing liabilities, and financial interest rate derivatives to compute the group's sensitivity towards changes in interest rates.
Sensitivities resulting in a potential accounting effect below USD 5 million on group level are considered non-material. On 31 December 2021, the group has no material exposure subject to interest rate risk.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the group if a customer or counterparty to a financial derivative fails to meet its contractual obligations. The group's credit risk originates primarily from the account receivables, financial derivatives used to hedge interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk, as well as investments, including bank deposits.
The group's exposure to credit risk on its receivables varies across segments and subsidiaries.
Within the Maritime Services and New Energy, the global customer base provides diversification with respect to credit risk on receivables. The segments monitor and manage their respective credit risk on a regular basis. Reference is made to note 13.
The group maintains cash management operations and trades financial derivatives with a selection of financially solid banks (as determined by their official credit ratings), limiting the corresponding credit risk.
No material loans or receivables were past due or impaired at 31 December 2021 (analogous for 2020).
The group's policy is that no financial guarantees are provided by the parent company. However, financial guarantees are provided within Maritime Services and New Energy. See note 18 for further details.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was as per below table:

The group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that the group meets its liabilities, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the group's reputation.
The group's liquidity risk is low in that it holds significant liquid assets in addition to credit facilities with the banks.
At 31 December 2021, the group had in excess of USD 435 million (2020: USD 473 million) in cash, investment grade bonds and listed equities (cash and cash equivalents, current financial investments and investment in Qube Holdings Limited), in addition to USD 195 million (2020: USD 263 million) in committed undrawn credit facilities.

The group's bank and lease financing are subject to financial or non-financial covenant clauses related to one or several of the following:
As of the balance date, the group is not in breach of any financial or non-financial covenants.
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 not traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) is based on third party quotes. These quotes use observable market rates for price discovery. Specific valuation techniques used by financial counterparties (banks) to value financial derivatives include:
The group's overall policy is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future business development. The board of directors monitors various return metrics, where Return on Equity and dividend levels are predominant.
The group seeks to maintain a balance between the potential higher returns stemming from higher levels of financial gearing and the advantages of a strong balance sheet. The financial strategy and setting of thresholds for capital structure, return requirements and risk are revised by the board of directors.
The carrying value less impairment provision of receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The group estimates the fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes by discounting the future contractual cash flows at current market interest rates available to the group for similar financial derivatives.

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 close price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 at the end of 2021 are liquid investment grade bonds and listed equities (analogous for 2020).
The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market (over-thecounter contracts) are based on third party quotes (Mark-to-Market). These quotes use 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.

The group and the parent company make provisions for legal claims when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events, it is more likely than
Coast Center Base AS (CCB), 50% owned by NorSea Group, lost a floating dock 26 November 2018. The dock is considered lost and the fair value was nil by 31 December 2021. CCB had previously recognised an accrual to cover costs related to a salvage operation. Local authorities have issued their conclusion after final appeal, concluding that the dock can remain in its current position. As such, the previously recognised accrual have been reversed in 2021.
not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be estimated with a sufficient degree of reliability. Provisions are not made for future operating losses.
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 are of such a nature that they will not significantly affect the group's financial position.
This section describes non-GAAP financial alternative performance measures (APM) that may be used in the quarterly and annual reports and related presentations.
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 is defined as Total income (Operating revenue and gain/(loss) on sale of assets) adjusted for Operating expenses. EBITDA is used as an additional measure of operational profitability, excluding the impact from financial items, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA adjusted is defined as EBITDA excluding certain income and/or cost items which are not regarded as part of the underlying operational performance for the period. The Company do not report EBITDA adjusted on a regular basis, but may use it on a case by case basis to better explain operational performance.
EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a per cent of of Total income.
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 defined as Total income (Operating revenue and gain/(loss) on sale of assets) less Operating expenses, Other gain/loss and depreciation and amortization. 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.
EBIT adjusted, EBIT margin and EBIT margin adjusted will, if used, be prepared in the same manner as described under EBITDA.
Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) is defined as total interest bearing debt (Noncurrent interest-bearing debt and Current interest-bearing debt) less Cash and cash equivalenets and Current financial investments.
Equity ratio is defined as Total equity as a percent of Total assets.
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of theses consolidated financial statements to the extent they are not disclosed separately in the other notes in the consolidated financial statements or in the notes of the financial statements of the parent company. Accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
The following are new or amended to standards and interpretations have been issued and become effective during the current period:
Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 16 Leases – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 2: Disclosures and IFRS 16 Leases, relating to the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 2, entered into force on 1 January 2021. The amendments to IFRS 9 entail that modifications of financial assets and financial liabilities, implemented as a direct consequence of the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform, are recognised as a change
in the effective interest. Gains or losses arising due to the modification are thus not recognised. See note 19.
The amendments listed above did not have any impacts on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
Amendment to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The amendment changes the guidance for the classification of liabilities as current or non-current depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2021 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The exceptions are investments activity in Malta, where Australian dollar (AUD) is the functional currency and the parent
company Wilhelmsen Maritime Services (WMS AS) has US dollar (USD). The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, rounded off to the nearest whole million.
The presentation currency of the separate statements of the parent is NOK which is also its functional currency. The accounts are rounded off to the nearest whole thousand.
The income statements and balance sheets for group companies with a functional currency which differs from the presentation currency (USD) are translated as follows:
Goodwill and fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities related to acquisition of entities which have a functional currency other than USD are attributed to the acquired entity's functional currency and translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates, are generally recognised in income statement. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented on a net basis in the income statement, within finance costs.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through income statement are recognised in income statement as part of the fair value gain or loss, and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
• all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition comprises the:
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill is recognised as the excess of the;
If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the income statement.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquire is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gain or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in income statement.
In January 2022, Wilhelmsen Ship Management, part of the Maritime Services segment, signed an agreement to acquire 80% of the shares in Ahrenkiel Tankers (to be renamed Barber Ship Management).
In February, Wilhelmsen New Energy acquired 21% stake in Reach Subsea ASA. The investment will be a part of New Energy segment.
The group has 25 full-time employees in Ukraine and 31 full-time employees in Russia. Wilhelmsen is in line with other international companies complying with
relevant sanctions implemented in relation to the situation in Ukraine. As a result of the nature and scope of the group's business in the two countries, the situation will have limited direct impact of group performance.
No other material events occurred between the balance sheet date and the date when the accounts were presented which provide new information about conditions prevailing on the balance sheet date.
Taking extra care to look out for our employees, both at sea or onshore, during the ongoing pandemic has been essential. Whether through site risk assessments, safety, mental health and wellness campaigns, employee engagement surveys, and crew vaccinations.

The company's defined contribution pension schemes for Norwegian employees are with financial institute, similar solutions with different investment funds.
The company has "Ekstrapensjon", a contribution plan for all Norwegian employees with salaries exceeding 12 times the Norwegian National Insurance base amount (G). The contribution plan replaced the company obligations mainly financed from operation. In addition the company has agreements on early retirement. This obligations are mainly financed from operations. The company has obligation towards one employee in the company's senior executive management. The obligation is mainly covered via group annuity policies in Storebrand.
Pension costs and obligations includes payroll taxes. No provision has been made for payroll tax in pension plans where the plan assets exceed the plan obligations.
The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of the remaining defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligations are calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

The parent company had in addition undrawn revolving facilities at 31 December 2021. The parent company's financing arrangement provides for customary financial covenants related to minimum liquidity, and minimum value adjusted equity ratio. The company was in compliance with these covenants at 31 December 2021 (analougue for 31 December 2020).
See note 13 to the parent accounts and note 19 to the group accounts for further information on financial risk, and note 18 to the group accounts concerning the fair value of interest-bearing debt.
The group's policy is that the parent company will not provide any financial guarantees.
The parent's exposure to credit risk on cash and bank deposits is considered to be very limited as the parent maintain banking relationships with a selection of banks with strong credit ratings.
The parent's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the parent and group's reputation.
The parent's liquidity risk is considered to be low in the sense that it holds significant liquid assets in addition to undrawn credit facilities.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is based on quoted market prices on the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) are based on third party quotes. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the 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 yield curve, volatility and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance sheet date, resulting in a swaption premium. 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 present value.
The fair value of foreign exchange option contracts is determined using observable forward exchange rates, volatility, yield curves and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance sheet date, resulting in an option premium.
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 company for similar financial instruments.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on closing 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 fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market is determined
by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques use observable market data where available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. These instruments are included in level 2. Instruments included in level 2 are FX and IR derivatives.
If one or more of significant valuation inputs is not based on observable market data, the instruments are included in level 3.

Further, there is an inherent risk of errors when a business handles multiple revenue streams, where each of them consists of large numbers of transactions that adds up to material amounts. The inherent risk of errors increases from the complexity that sometimes accompany the requirements for management to use judgement, particularly to determine the transaction price and to decide when performance obligations are satisfied.
We refer to note 3 Revenue, where management explain the various revenue streams and how they are accounted for under IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers and IFRS 16 - Leases. Here, management also explains the different performance obligations, measurement of the transaction price and To assess the accuracy of their practices, we tested, on a sample basis, each revenue stream towards information such as contract terms, invoices and bank payments. We found that the revenue was recorded accurate and in accordance with the underlying documentation.
Further, to assess the determined transaction prices, we obtained an understanding of the price for services and products, including discounts and customer bonus through interviews with management, walkthroughs and review of process descriptions. In addition, we obtained and read a selection of customer contracts to understand whether the determined prices were in accordance with the contract terms. We found no significant deviations in management's assessments.
Through interviews with management and review of a selection of sales documentation such as customer contracts and invoices, we obtained an understanding
