Result for the quarter

Total income for the Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group (later referred to as Wilhelmsen, Wilhelmsen group or group) was USD 344 million in the second quarter of 2017. Total income included a USD 195 million gain from reclassification of Treasure ASA's investment in Hyundai Glovis from associate to available-for-sale financial assets in the Wilhelmsen group's accounts.

EBITDA was USD 210 million for the quarter. The group's maritime services segment experienced a rebound in operating profit from previous quarter, following implementation of a cost reduction program and a new organisational structure.

Result for the quarter

Total income from maritime services was USD 147 million in the second quarter, up 5% from the previous quarter. Operating profit and margin was up supported by improved performance within ships service, while non-recurring M&A related costs continued to have a negative effect on the results.

Financial income for the quarter was positively impacted by currency gains, while tax expenses were at normal levels.

The decrease in total income and operating result when compared with last year reflects sale of Callenberg Technology Group and safety activities in the second half of 2016.

Risk update

The main risks as considered by the board at that time are described in the annual report for 2016. While risk in general remains as described in the annual report, certain individual risk factors have been impacted by events which have taken place after completion of the annual report. Main events and impacts are described below.

Market risk

The pickup in global growth remains on track. While U.S. growth projections are lower, growth has been revised up for Japan, China and especially the euro area. Risks around the global growth forecast appear broadly balanced in the near term, but remain skewed to the downside over the medium term (source IMF).

While global growth continue to support an increase in trade and shipping volumes, excess tonnage continues to impact most shipping segments.

Uncertainty related to future development in the oil price continue to weight on global offshore activities.

Operational risk

The merger of Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA and Wallroll AB was formally completed in early April. While the subsequent merger process may have certain short

term impact on the operations, a new structure will facilitate a more effective operational and governance structure once fully implemented.

Late April, an agreement was signed to acquire the technical solutions business from Drew Marine. The transaction is subject regulatory approval. While a transaction is anticipated to have positive long term effects, the integration process might create short term operational risks.

Financial risk

Currencies, interest rates and commodity prices continued to fluctuate in the first half of 2017. More recently, lower growth projections and more cautious expectations for interest rate increases in the U.S. has resulted in a generally weaker USD. The oil price has for a period been back below USD 50/barrel following lower than anticipated effects from reduced oil production in OPEC and Russia.

A combination of a generally bullish equity market and company events have lifted the value of most Wilhelmsen investments during the first half. The most profound impact has been a 45% increase in the NOK value of the shareholding in Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics ASA (previously Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA). The increase in the share price partly reflects merger synergies and a more robust corporate structure. The new structure is believed to reduce the risk related to the equity investment from a Wilhelmsen ownership perspective.

During the first half, Wilhelmsen announced significant new investments within the maritime services and oil and gas sector, subject a mix of regulatory approval and final agreement. The investments will, if completed, reduce the equity ratio and as such impact the Wilhelmsen group's financial risk.

Outlook

Operating entities and investments

New cost and organisational structure will continue to support an improved operating margin within the maritime services segment.

Merger synergies will positively impact net result for the holding and investment segment. Value development of investments subject market pricing will remain sensitive to development of the global stock market in addition to company specific events.

Wilhelmsen group

The board expects the general business environment to remain soft, affecting most group activities and performance. Structural changes and performance improvement will continue to support an improvement in operating margin of main activities.

Lysaker, 9 August 2017 The board of directors of Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA

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 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.
