Group result

Total income for the Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group (referred to as Wilhelmsen or group) was USD 197 million in the second quarter of 2020. This was down 5% from the corresponding period last year and down 8% from the previous quarter. Income was down for maritime services, while supply services' income was up when compared to last year.

EBITDA was USD 36 million, down 15% from one year earlier and down 3% from the first quarter. Adjusting for sales gains, EBITDA was down 2% from the corresponding period previous year. EBITDA followed development in total income, with lower contribution from maritime services and improvement in supply services.

Share of profit from associates was a loss of USD 21 million, with negative contribution from Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA partly offset by a gain in supply services.

Change in fair value of financial assets was positive with USD 69 million, following some recovery of first quarter losses in Hyundai Glovis and other investments. Other financials were an income of USD 18 million, lifted by gains on financial investments and FX.

Net profit to owners of the parent was USD 57 million for the quarter, equal to USD 1.27 earnings per share (EPS).

Other comprehensive income for the quarter was a gain of USD 52 million, primarily related to recovery of first quarter currency translation differences on net non-USD assets.

Total comprehensive income, including net profit and other comprehensive income, attributable to owners of the parent was USD 108 million.

Group balance sheet

Total assets were up 3% in the second quarter mainly due to an increase in fair value of financial assets.

The profit for the period lifted equity attributable to owners of the parent with 7% to USD 1 573 million. As of 30 June, the group equity ratio was 60%.

Total interest-bearing debt including leasing debt was USD 611 million by the end of the quarter. This was a USD 12 million increase from the previous quarter, mainly due to currency effect on non-USD loans.

Group result for the half year

Result for the first half reflected increased contribution from operating activities offset by reduced sales gains, a material loss from associates, and a significant fall in financial asset values. This resulted in a net loss to owners of the parent of USD 227 million.

Maritime services result

Total income from maritime services was USD 130 million in the second quarter. Adjusting for a USD 6 million sales gain in the second quarter of 2019, income was down 7% year-over-year. When compared with the previous quarter, income was down 11%.

EBITDA was USD 21 million, down 11% from the corresponding period previous year when adjusting for the sales gain. Compared with the first quarter, EBITDA was down 21%.

The second quarter included a USD 11 million impairment of goodwill within ships service.

Total financial items were positive with USD 10 million, including a net USD 17 million currency gain and a USD 5 million impairment of a loan to a joint venture. Tax was included with an expense of USD 4 million.

The quarter ended with a net gain after non-controlling interests of USD 10 million.

Ships service

Wilhelmsen Ships Service is a global provider of standardised product brands and service solutions to the maritime industry, focusing on marine products, maritime logistics and ships agency. Ships service is fully owned by Wilhelmsen.

Total income for ships service was USD 117 million, down 10% from the corresponding period last year and down 12% from the first quarter. Sale of marine products and income from agency services were both down, following a reduction in global shipping activities in general and cruise activities in particular. Non-marine income increased due to a temporary boost in sale of sanitizing products.

EBITDA was also down for the quarter due to lower income.

Ship management

Wilhelmsen Ship Management provides full technical management, crewing and related services for all major vessel types, and includes 50% of NorSea Wind. Ship management is fully owned by Wilhelmsen.

Total income for ship management was USD 14 million, a reduction from the corresponding period last year which included a sales gain. Excluding the sales gain, income was up due to an increase in the number of ships on full technical management and new offshore wind activities. Compared with the previous quarter, income was stable.

EBITDA was down from the corresponding period last year mainly due to the sales gain lifting last year results.

Post quarter, an agreement has been signed for Wilhelmsen Ship Management to acquire a 50% stake in Ahrenkiel Steamship GmbH & Co KG, the technical container ship manager within the MPC Capital Group. The company, which will operate under the brand Wilhelmsen Ahrenkiel Ship Management, currently manage a fleet of 72 container ships. The closing of the transaction is subject to approval by the relevant antitrust authorities, which is expected in the third quarter of 2020.

Holding and investments result

The holding and investments segment reported a USD 42 million profit after non-controlling interests in the second quarter. A positive development in financial asset values more than offset a net loss in Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA.

Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA

Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA is a global provider of ocean and landbased logistics services towards car and ro-ro customers and is listed on Oslo Børs. Wilhelmsen owns ~37,8% of the company, which is reported as associate in Wilhelmsen's accounts.

Total income for Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA was USD 606 million in the second quarter, down 40% compared to the same period last year as a result of lower revenues in both the ocean and landbased segments. Ocean volumes were down 45% year-over year, though income benefitted from a higher net freight per CBM due to a favourable cargo mix. The landbased volumes were sharply affected by manufacturing plant closures and production cutbacks. Compared to the first quarter, total income for the group was down 27%.

EBITDA was USD 42 million, including one-off costs related to increased anti-trust provision and cancelled scrubber installations. Adjusted for one-offs, EBITDA was USD 104 million, down 51% from previous year and down 20% from the first quarter.

Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA reported a net loss of USD 69 million for the quarter, with Wilhelmsen's share being a loss of USD 23 million.

Treasure ASA

Treasure ASA holds a 12.04% ownership interest in Hyundai Glovis and is listed on Oslo Børs. Wilhelmsen owns ~73,5% of Treasure ASA (not adjusted for shares held by the company).

Change in fair value of the shareholding in Hyundai Glovis was positive with USD 47 million for the quarter, following a 12% increase in the share price and an appreciation of the KRW versus USD. The market value of the investment in Hyundai Glovis was USD 382 million at the end of the second quarter.

During the quarter, Treasure ASA bought 2 500 000 own shares. Pursuant to the transaction, Treasure ASA owns 2 965 000 own shares.

Financial investments

Financial investments include cash and cash equivalents, current financial investments and other financial assets held by the parent and fully owned subsidiaries.

Change in fair value of non-current financial assets was a gain of USD 23 million for the quarter (excluding Hyundai Glovis, which is reported under Treasure ASA). The market value at the end of the second quarter was USD 112 million. During the quarter, Wilhelmsen participated in a Qube Holding entitlement offer, increasing ownership from 40 million to 46.3 million shares.

Net income from investment management was a gain of USD 13 million for the quarter. The market value of the current financial investment portfolio was USD 92 million by the end of the second quarter. The portfolio primarily included listed equities and investment-grade bonds.

Other holding and investments activities

Holding/other activities include general holding activities and certain non-financial investments, including Raa Labs AS (100% owned), Massterly AS (50%) and Dolittle AS (46%).

EBITDA improved due to reduced cost, partly related to covid-19 measures.

Risk update

The Wilhelmsen group consists of operating companies and investments exposed to the global economy and world merchandised trade. While risk in general remains as described in the 2019 annual report, certain individual risk factors have been impacted by events which have taken place after completion of the annual report. This primarily relates to the continuous spread of Covid-19 and measures taken to contain it. This has an impact on all of market risk, operational risk, and financial risk.

From a market risk perspective, a strong reduction in cruise activities and lower global shipping activity negatively impacts the maritime services segment. Lower global automotive sales have a similar impact on Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA and Hyundai Glovis.

From an operational risk perspective, our operations in affected countries are following governmental advice to minimize risk of exposure from Covid-19. For the ship management activities, travel restrictions in many countries are creating operational issues related to crew changes.

From a financial risk perspective, the equity values of main investments have recovered somewhat from the low experienced at end of the first quarter but remain below year end values.

Outlook

Maritime services

For ships service, operating income is expected to remain below historic levels for the rest of the year, but with a gradual recovery in line with a recovery of global economic activity. The largest impact will remain from reduction in cruise activities, representing 10-15% of operating income pre Covid-19.

For ship management, development in operating income will remain sensitive to any change in number of ships on management. The new joint venture for container ships is expected to have limited impact on net result in the short term.

Supply services

A partial recovery in the oil price together with a Norwegian stimulus package for the industry has created a more positive market sentiment compared with previous outlook. The activity level is now expected to remain relatively high during the rest of the summer season, but with a reduction towards the end of the year.

Holding and investments

For Wallenius Wilhelmsen, the very near term is impacted by a sharp drop in volumes driven by measures taken globally to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. The drop in volumes has created excess capacity in the industry, which is likely to persist for some time, delaying market improvements. Measures taken to recycle, lay-up, idle and slow-steam ships will go some way in countering this effect.

Investments accounted for on a mark-to-market basis will be impacted by an expected continued volatile market.

Wilhelmsen group

The spread of Covid-19 and the measures undertaken to contain it will continue to impact global economic activity.

The extent of the future impact on operating income and result and on asset prices remains uncertain. Wilhelmsen retains its robustness and capacity to meet this uncertainty.

Cont note 6 - Tangible and intangible assets

During the quarter, the group's Management identified impairment indicators related to downscaling of activities and corresponding re-organization of operations in specific markets due to the effect of the on-going Covid-19 pandemic. Impairment testing as of the end of June 2020 is performed using the method described in the accounting policies in the group's financial statements for 2019.

Impairment testing is performed for the cash generating units (CGUs) that exhibit impairment indicators, resulting in an impairment of goodwill attributable to cash generating units in the group's Maritime Services segment of USD 11 million.

The recoverable amount for the specific cash generating units is determined by the unit's value-in-use. The assumptions in the forecast used in the value-in-use assessments are based on external available market information where possible, in addition to the group's expectations about the future. The applied discount rate is based on the average cost of capital for the group and is adjusted to reflect the current market rate and specific business activities of the group.

Note 7 - Leases

The IFRS 16 Leasing standard was effective from 1 January 2019. The standard significantly changed how the group accounts for its lease contracts for land, buildings and equipment previously accounted for as operating leases. All leases are brought into the balance sheet increasing the groups assets and liabilities, in addition to affecting income statement figures. This note summarizes the impact on the financial reporting of Wilhelmsen group from implementing the new standard.

The Lease Contracts

The group has a number of leases related to property and land that account for the significant part of the lease liability. The group also leases vechicle and equipment. A lease liability and right-of-use asset are presented for these contracts which previously were reported as operating leases.

Recognition and Measurement Approach on Transition

The group applied IFRS 16 retrospectively with recognition of the cumulative implementation effect recognised at the date of initial application 1 January 2019. By doing this, comparative financial information shall not be restated, but the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard shall be reflected as an

adjustment to the opening balance. At the time of transition, leases entered under IAS 17 will not be reassessed. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. To arrive at the incremental borrowing rate the group applies the respective country's (economic environment) risk free rate for the term corresponding to the lease term, adjusted for own credit risk.

The right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability. The standard has provided options on scope and exemptions and below the group's policy choices are described:

  • The standard will not be applied to leases of intangible assets and these will continue to be recognized in accordance with IAS 38 Intangible assets.

  • All leases deemed short-term by the standard are exempt from reporting. - All leases deemed to be of low value by the standard are exempt from reporting.

  • Non-lease components shall be separated from the lease component in all vessel leases. For other lease agreements, the group will apply a materiality threshold when evaluating separation.

Implementation effect

The net effect of implementation of IFRS 16 at January 1, 2019 is presented below.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) are based on third party quotes. These quotes use the maximum number of observable market rates for price discovery. Specific valuation techniques used by financial counterparties (banks) to value financial derivatives include:

  • Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar derivatives - The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the net present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves

  • The fair value of interest rate swap option (swaption) contracts is determined using observable volatility, yield curve and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance sheet date, resulting in a swaption premium. Options are typically valued by applying the Black-Scholes model.

  • The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back to net present value

  • The fair value of foreign exchange option contracts is determined using observable forward exchange rates, volatility, yield curves and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance sheet date, resulting in an option premium. Options are typically valued by applying the Black-Scholes model.

The carrying value less impairment provision of receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the group for similar financial derivatives.

The fair values, except for bond debt, are based on cash flows discounted using

a rate based on market rates including margins and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the bond debt are based on quoted prices and are also classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to limited trading in an active market.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.

The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current mid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 at the end of June 2020 are liquid investment grade bonds (analogous for 2019).

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) are based on third party quotes (Mark-to-Market). These quotes use the maximum number of observable market rates for price discovery. The different techniques typically applied by financial counterparties (banks) were described above. These instruments - FX and IR derivatives - are included in level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the derivatives is in level 3. Primarily illiquid investment funds and structured notes are included in level 3.

Note 14 - Related party transactions

The group has undertaken several agreements and transactions with related parties in WalWil ASA group, Maritime Services, Supply Services and Holding and Investments segment in 2020 and 2019. All transactions are entered into market terms. The services are:

Generally, Shared Services are priced using a cost plus 5% margin calculation, in accordance with the principles set out in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines

Note 15 - Contingencies

The size and global activities of the group dictate that companies in the group will be involved from time to time in disputes and legal actions.

The group is not aware of any financial risk associated with disputes and legal actions which are not largely covered through insurance arrangements.

Note 16 - Events occurring after the balance sheet date

The spread of Covid-19 and the measures undertaken to contain it will continue to impact global economic activity.

and are delivered according to agreements that are renewed annually.

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

Nevertheless, any such disputes/actions which might exist are of such a nature that they will not significantly affect the group's financial position.

No material events occured between the balance sheet date and the date when the accounts were presented providing new information about the conditions prevailing on the balance sheet date.

Notes 17 Alternative performance measures

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.
