Result for the quarter

Total income for the Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group (later referred to as Wilhelmsen or group) was USD 205 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. This was the first quarter with full consolidation of NorSea Group. Together with increased sales in maritime services, this supported a 42% uplift in operating revenue when compared with the previous quarter.

EBITDA was USD 14 million for the quarter, compared with an adjusted EBITDA of USD 10 million in the third quarter. The increase was due to full consolidation of NorSea Group, reported under the new supply services segment from end of the third quarter. Contribution from the maritime services segment was down for the quarter.

Share of profit from associates was USD 37 million, reflecting a further increase in the net result of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics ASA, reported under the group's holding and investments segment.

Net financial was an income of USD 1 million for the quarter, with currency and revaluation gains offsetting interest expenses.

Other comprehensive income for the quarter was negative with USD 22 million, including currency translation differences and mark to market revaluation of availablefor-sale financial assets.

Total comprehensive income attributable to owners of the parent was USD 16 million in the fourth quarter.

Balance sheet

Total assets were stable in the fourth quarter, with an increase in the book value of investment in joint ventures and associates offset by a decrease in cash and tangible assets.

Total equity was slightly up, with positive net result and comprehensive income partly offset by dividend payments to owners of the parent. The Wilhelmsen equity ratio was 67% as of 31 December 2017.

Full year 2017

Preliminary result for the year

In 2017, Wilhelmsen completed structural changes of the group initiated one year earlier. This had material bearing on the reported results. Main events included:

  • Sale of two maritime services business activities late 2016, reducing 2017 income correspondingly.
  • Completion of the Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics ASA merger in April 2017, with previous income from Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA reclassified as discontinued operations.
  • Reclassification of Treasure ASA's ownership in Hyundai Glovis from associates to available for sale financial asset.
  • Increased ownership in NorSea Group from September 2017, followed by a full consolidation reported under the new supply services segment.

Total income for Wilhelmsen was USD 793 million for the year, a reduction of 15% from 2016. The income reflected reduced operating revenue within maritime services, a material net sales gain from reclassification of assets and income from the new supply service segment in the fourth quarter.

Group EBITDA came in at USD 198 million, up 70%. An accounting gain from reclassification of assets was the main driver behind the increase. Excluding main nonrecurring items, EBITDA was down.

For maritime services, a continued weak shipping and offshore market and reduced activities following previous year disposals had a negative impact on EBITDA. The year also includes significant corporate cost, mainly related to ongoing M&A activity.

The new supply services segment contributed with a positive EBITDA, following consolidation of the NorSea Group from the end of the third quarter.

EBITDA for the holding and investments segment was also positive for the year, with accounting gain from reclassification of Treasure ASA's investment in Hyundai Glovis offsetting net corporate cost.

Share of profit from associates was USD 55 million, down 33% compared with 2016. A strong second half for Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics ASA made a positive contribution, while merger and restructuring cost dragged down.

Net financials was an income of USD 22 million in 2017, lifted by net currency gains and gain from sale of availablefor-sale financial assets. Investment management and interest income contributed positively with a total of USD 10 million, while interest expenses were USD 14 million.

Tax was included with an expense of USD 16 million.

Discontinued operation related to previous ownership in Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA was included with a loss of USD 239 million in 2017. This mainly reflected the difference between book value and market value at the time of the Wallenius Wilhelmsen merger. This compares with a USD 113 million gain in 2016, following a restatement of Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA as discontinued operations.

Net profit after tax and minority interests was a loss of USD 64 million in 2017 compared with a USD 201 million gain in 2016. Other comprehensive income was positive, resulting in a total comprehensive income to owners of the parents of USD 11 million for the year 2017.

Outlook

Maritime services

The new structure will support an improved operating margin within the maritime services segment. Development of marine products will be sensitive to final outcome of the Drew acquisition, subject regulatory approval.

Supply services

A restructuring process has been initiated within NorSea Group to adapt the organisation to the present market environment. This is expected to have a positive effect on the supply services segment margin when fully implemented.

Holding and investments

Positive volume development combined with reduced Hyundai and Kia market share for Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics implies a balanced view on net result development for the holding and investments segment. Value of investments subject market pricing will remain sensitive to development of the global stock market and currency fluctuations, in addition to company specific events.

Wilhelmsen group

The group has successfully completed several structural changes creating value for shareholders. Markets are challenging, but Wilhelmsen continues to hold leading positions in main business segments.

The group is positioned for future growth, and the board expects to see positive developments in main markets.

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 December 2017 are liquid investment grade bonds (analogous for 2016).

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.
