1 While the equity method provides a fair presentation of the group's financial position in joint ventures, the group's internal financial segment reporting is based on the proportionate method. The major contributors in Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA are joint ventures and hence the proportionate method gives management a higher level of information and a fuller picture of the group's operations. For Wilhelmsen Maritime Services and Holding and Investments the financial reporting will be the same for both the equity and the proportionate methods.
The same accounting principles are applied in both the management reports and the financial accounts, and comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Total income for the Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group (WWH) was USD 848 million in the first quarter of 2016, up 5% compared with the previous quarter.
The growth was mainly driven by the increase in total income within Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA's (WWASA) logistics activities supported by acquisitions in WWL, and including a nonrecurring gain. Wilhelmsen Maritime Services (WMS) reported reduced income across all the business areas, while the contribution from Holding and investments increased compared with the previous quarter.
The operating profit was USD 143 million compared with USD 96 million in the previous quarter. The first quarter included a nonrecurring gain of USD 80 million related to WWASA's logistics activities. The fourth quarter included a pension gain of USD 4 million related to WMS.
Excluding the mentioned non-recurring gains, the adjusted operating profit was down 32% quarter on quarter.
Net financials were an expense of USD 23 million in the first quarter. Net interest rate derivatives were a loss of USD 22 million for the quarter, negatively impacted by changes in medium to long-term USD interest rates. Net currency was an income of USD 18 million, mainly driven by the USD depreciation against EUR and NOK.
Tax expense was USD 10 million compared with an income of USD 37 million in the previous quarter, which reflected deferred tax income related to currency translation losses.
Minority interests' share of net profit for the quarter was USD 29 million, mainly related to minority shareholders in WWASA.
Profit after tax and minority interests totalled USD 80 million in the first quarter, down from USD 105 million in the fourth quarter.
The Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA group (WWASA) is a global provider of shipping and logistics services towards car and ro-ro customers. WWH owns 72.7% of WWASA. In line with accounting standards, all revenue and expenses in WWASA are reported in full with minority interest included after net profit/(loss).

WWASA's total income was USD 608 million in the first quarter, representing a 12% increase compared with the fourth quarter. The operating profit amounted to USD 126 million, up from USD 66 million in the previous quarter. Both income and operating profit were lifted by a USD 80 million non-recurring gain related to the logistics activites.
Operations were characterised by a sharp decline in ocean-transported volumes. While demand for auto shipments declined, high and heavy volumes remained flat at a low level. Increased contribution from logistics activities including the nonrecurring gain more than offset the decline in total income and operating profit from the shipping segment. When excluding the nonrecurring gain the operating profit was down 30% compared with the previous quarter.
Net financial expense was USD 15 million for the quarter, driven by unrealised losses on interest rate derivatives. Net currency was a gain of USD 20 million, due to an unrealized gain on non-USD assets.
Tax expense was USD 6 million, down from and income of USD 30 million in the fourth quarter, which was related to a deferred tax income related to currency translation losses.
Net profit after tax was USD 105 million in the first quarter, of which USD 76 million was attributed to WWH.
WWASA's shipping segment includes shipping activities within Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL, owned 50%), EUKOR Car Carrier (EUKOR, owned 40%), American Roll-on-Roll-off Carrier (ARC, owned 50%) and Hyundai Glovis (owned 12.0%), as well as certain shipowning activities outside the operating companies.
The group's operating entities transported 15.6 million cubic metres (CBM) in the first quarter, down 15% compared with the previous quarter. Auto volumes dropped 21%, while high and heavy volumes increased 2% from a weak fourth quarter. A suboptimal trade mix also had a negative impact on results. While the group's cargo mix improved slightly during the quarter, the lack of high and heavy cargo continued to impact the utilization of the advanced fleet in an unfavourable way.
Seasonality negatively affected the total volumes shipped on WWL operated vessels.
Demand for auto shipments declined in all main trades, while high and heavy shipments improved in all trades except Europe to North America and Oceania.
EUKOR's transported share of Hyundai Motor Company/Kia Motor Company's exports out of Korea fell from 60% to 50% effective 1 January 2016 following the new Ocean Car Carrying Contract. In addition, EUKOR experienced seasonally lower demand for transportation of both autos and light high and heavy units in all main trades.
In key markets, auto sales decreased by 7% from the fourth quarter, while it increased by 2% compared with the same period last year. Sales in North America dropped by 8% compared with the seasonally strong fourth quarter. Sales in Western Europe continued its positive trend and was up by 12% from the fourth quarter, albeit from relatively low figures. Chinese car sales, however, saw a reduction by 14% compared with the previous period. Brazil and Russia continued to report weak sales figures.
In the first quarter, Japanese car exports ended at 0.98 million units, down 13% compared with a seasonally stronger fourth quarter. Japanese export levels, however, remained flat when compared with the same period last year.
Exports out of Korea ended at 0.6 million units, down 20% compared with the previous quarter and 14% compared with the same period last year. The decline was mainly caused by reduced demand for Korean brands in South America and the Middle East.
Global construction spending grew, but at a slower pace than previously seen. An improvement in the housing market supported construction spending in North America. Construction spending in Europe saw a minor increase, although the East European market continued to be challenging. The Chinese construction market remained weak.
The demand for mining equipment continued on a negative trend due to low commodity prices and few new mining investments.
Demand for agriculture machinery continued the declining trend from 2015, impacted by lower crop prices.
At the end of the quarter, the global fleet of pure car and truck carriers totalled 718 vessels, with a combined lifting capacity of 3.85 million CEU. Nine vessels entered service, while 11 ships were recycled.
In the first quarter of 2016, the group fleet was reduced from 137 to 132 vessels and had a combined capacity of 861 000 CEU, corresponding to approximately 22% of the global fleet.
The group controlled 83 vessels, of which 26 were owned by WWASA. The group has the flexibility to redeliver six vessels in 2016 and nine vessels in 2017
Worldwide, options for two new car carriers were declared in the first quarter. By the end of March, the world car carrier orderbook included 75 vessels on order, equivalent to 515 000 CEUs or 14% of the current global fleet.
The WWASA group's newbuilding orderbook counted eight Post-Panamax vessels (8 000 CEU each) at the end of the quarter. Two of the vessels were for WWASA's account. Of the group vessels on order, six will commence service for WWL in 2016 and 2017, while two vessels will commence service for EUKOR in 2017.
One vessel, operated by EUKOR, was redelivered to external owners during the first quarter. Four vessels were taken out of operation and sold for green recycling, of which three vessels were for WWASA's account.
WWASA's logistics segment includes logistics activities within Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL, owned 50%), American Shipping and Logistics Group (ASL, owned 50%) and Hyundai Glovis (owned 12.0%).
The total income and operating profit for the logistics segment increased compared with the previous quarter. The operating profit was positively impacted by a non-recurring gain of USD 80 million related to acquisition of the full ownership of Vehicle Services Americas and CAT-WWL in South Africa (both previously joint ventures), and the sale of Vehicle Services Europe.
A rebound in contribution from Hyundai Glovis had a positive impact to the underlying results. However, as of 17 March 2016, WWASA discontinued to include the contribution from Hyundai Glovis due to the demerger of Den Norske Amerikalinje AS to Treasure ASA.
Hyundai Glovis Hyundai Glovis is a global integrated logistics company listed on the KRX Korea Exchange. WWASA owns 12.0% of Hyundai Glovis. The investment is reported in WWASA's accounts as "associated company", with share of net result reported as income partly under shipping and partly under logistics one quarter in arrears.
WWASA's shareholding in Hyundai Glovis was valued at USD 748 million on 31 March 2016, up from USD 740 million by the end of the fourth quarter of 2015.
The WWASA share price increased by 16% at the end of the first quarter of 2016 compared with the end of the fourth quarter, increasing the market value of WWH's shares in WWASA to NOK 6 576 million as of 31 March 2016. This represented NOK

The joint venture companies WWL and EUKOR continue to be part of anti-trust investigations in several jurisdictions, of which the EU and US are among the bigger jurisdictions. As some of the processes are confidential, WWASA is not in a position to comment on the ongoing investigations within the respective jurisdictions. The processes are expected to continue to take time, but further clarifications within some jurisdictions are expected during 2016 and 2017.
WWASA took delivery of its third Post-Panamax vessel, Theben, in April. The vessel was sold to external owners as a sale leaseback and will be operated by WWL.
An extra ordinary general meeting in WWASA approved the proposed demerger of Den Norske Amerikalinje AS (NAL), owning the 12.04% Hyundai Glovis shareholding, 20 April 2016. The approved joint demerger plan dated 17 March 2016, states that all WWASA's shares in NAL are transferred to Treasure ASA, while all other assets, rights and liabilities will remain with WWASA.

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:
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 March 2016 are liquid investment grade bonds (analogous for 2015).
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.
