### Letter from CEO

![](_page_3_Picture_2.jpeg)

### "Q2 2025 is another strong quarter for Höegh Autoliners with an EBITDA of USD 166 million, and a net profit after tax of USD 123 million."

Q2 2025 is another strong quarter for Höegh Autoliners with an EBITDA of USD 166 million, and a net profit after tax of USD 123 million.

Our performance in 2025 benefits from our strategy of "going long on cargo" towards the end of 2024, where we gradually increase volume and have lifted our contract share from 73% in 2024 to 81% in H1 2025. We continue to see a resilient market and fleet utilisation remains high, however with increasing trade imbalances. Higher volumes and reduced network efficiency have been mitigated by adding short-term capacity both during Q1 and Q2. We are pleased to see our rates stabilising with net rate of USD 81.6 per CBM in Q2 (up 2% Q-o-Q).

A key highlight of the quarter was the delivery of two Aurora Class vessels – Höegh Sunrise and Höegh Moonlight. While these newbuilds are key in our sustainability strategy, our ambition to reduce carbon emission extends beyond our newbuild program. We have

announced a cooperation with Nordic Circles with the ambition of upcycling a vessel in 2026.

The Company continues to deliver on our commitment to create value for shareholders distributing 100% of free cash flow in dividend. Following the Q2 results, a dividend payout of USD 137 million will be paid in September 2025.

Andreas Enger, CEO

### Directors' report

Total revenues in Q2 2025 were USD 367 million compared to USD 329 million in Q1 2025 and USD 341 million in Q2 2024. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2025 was USD 166 million compared to USD 155 million in Q1 2025 and USD 174 million in Q2 2024. See the section Alternative Performance Measures for reconciliation between EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.  

The main reason for the increase in EBITDA from previous quarter is higher volumes. The gross freight rate for Q2 was USD 95.2 per cbm (up 0.3% from the previous quarter) and the net freight rate for Q2 was USD 81.6 per cbm (up 1.5% from previous quarter). The transported volume in the quarter was 3.9 million cbm, up 11% from Q1, increasing volume from both Asia and Europe on back of increasing contract volume.

Net profit after tax in Q2 2025 was USD 123 million, compared to a net profit after tax of USD 155 million in Q1 2025 and a net profit after tax of USD 174 million in Q2 2024. The net profit after tax in Q1 2025 included a sales gain of USD 41 million from the sale of the vessel Höegh New York, and the net profit after tax in Q2 2024 included a tax income of USD 39 million following a change in deferred tax liabilities.

Total revenues for H1 2025 were USD 697 million compared to USD 669 million for H1 2024.

Both EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for H1 2025 was USD 320 million. For H1 2024, EBITDA was USD 336 million and adjusted EBITDA was USD 337 million.

Net profit after tax for H1 2025 was USD 278 million, including a sales gain of USD 41 million from the sale of Höegh New York, compared with a net profit after tax of USD 289 million for H1 2024. The net profit after tax for H1 2024 included a tax income of USD 42 million, mainly related to a change in deferred tax liabilities.

### Financial performance Cash flow and financing

Cash flows from operations were USD 153 million for Q2 2025 compared to USD 121 million for Q1 2025 and USD 169 million for the same quarter last year. Capital expenditures in Q2 2025 were USD 150 million, mainly related to instalments for the newbuildings, in addition to dry dock expenses and vessel upgrades.

Cash and cash equivalents were USD 204 million at the end of Q2 2025 compared to USD 233 million at the end of Q1 2025. Dividend for Q1 2025 of USD 158 million was paid out in May.

The book equity ratio was 54% at the end of Q2 2025, down from 59% at the end of Q1 2025 and down from 65% at the end of Q2 2024.

Net interest-bearing debt was USD 694 million at the end of Q2 2025 compared to USD 527 million at the end of Q1 2025 and USD 354 million at the end of Q2 2024. A total of USD 140 million has been drawn from the loan facility in the quarter in connection with the delivery of the two newbuildings; Höegh Sunrise and Höegh Moonlight.

### Operational performance

### Market update

Global light vehicle sales in H1 2025 are estimated\* to have reached 44 million units, up 4% y-o-y, supported by resilient U.S. customers' pre-buying in anticipation of price-increasing U.S. tariffs, and by China's generous sales-promoting measures.

The global auto industry continued to navigate dynamic geoeconomic conditions, with the possible effects of announced sweeping reciprocal and auto tariff actions by the U.S. In addition, the ongoing industry-specific dynamics with vehicle affordability challenges and slow-to-fall interest rates continued. Total 2025 vehicle sales in the latest, upgraded forecast are estimated to increase by 1.6% to 90 million units.

#### Höegh Autoliners' main markets:

#### Automotive

First half 2025 light vehicle sales in the main HA destination markets\* (excl. China) increased by an estimated 1% y-o-y, reflecting a mix of increased customer uncertainty coupled with a rush to pre-buy cars in the face of incoming tariffs.

The electrification of the automotive market remained under pressure, especially regarding the evolution of underlying EV demand as governments adjusted their EV industrial policies - regulations, incentives and subsidies. EV industrial policies in EU were softened to give manufacturers, facing strong competition from China and U.S. tariffs, a breathing space. Slower uptake of BEV was offset by stronger sales of hybrid vehicles.

Light vehicle sales in the U.S. remained strong in H1 – up 3% against year-ago levels. Consumers raced to buy cars expecting import tariffs, deregulation and reduced support for BEVs.

#### *Asia outbound*

Asia's vehicle exports in H1 2025 expanded by 4% y-o-y, driven by strong Chinese shipments (up 10% y-o-y). China continued to cement its position as the largest vehicle exporter by volume with H1 total exports of 3.1 million units (incl. overland and shortsea volumes), compared to 2.0 million units exported from Japan. Affected by EU's import tariffs on battery electric (BEV) cars, China's H1 BEV exports to Western and Central Europe increased only by 8% y-o-y. However, its exports of hybrids (not impacted by tariffs) to W/C Europe grew rapidly – up by 272% y-o-y. In the first half of 2025, China's global exports of hybrids increased by 139% y-o-y.

Japan's vehicle exports expanded by an estimated 1% in H1. In the same period, S. Korean vehicle shipments were down 4% y-o-y.

Tariff uncertainties caused total U.S. vehicle imports in H1 to drop 7% y-o-y. Imports from deep sea sources were down a similar rate. The largest drop in imports was reported from the European Union (-15% y-o-y), while imports from Japan increased by 4%.

*Sources: JAMA, KAMA, CAAM, S&P Global Trade Atlas July 2025.*

#### *High & Heavy (H&H) markets*

Last year, global equipment sales fell by 12% (in value terms). A further 9% drop is expected in 2025, before growth returns from 2026 onwards. Infrastructure investments and other megatrends will drive long-term growth.

Equipment sales in North America are anticipated to decline by 11% (in unit terms) this year, which reflects not only the ongoing return to normal sales volumes, but increasingly, the impact of import tariffs. Since 1980s, the U.S. construction equipment market has been heavily dependent on imports of fully built units and parts. Import tax and tariffs have therefore the biggest impact on the industry.

In Europe, with business confidence remaining weak and geopolitical tensions high, a modest 1% improvement in sales is expected this year.

In the first half of 2025, Asia's core construction equipment exports (all equipment sizes) in deep sea trades increased by 8% y-o-y. China's deep sea shipments expanded by 25% y-o-y, while shipments from Japan and S. Korea saw double-digit contractions. Continuous Chinese exports expansion was driven by weak domestic market and excess domestic production capacity.

Tariff-affected U.S. H&H imports in the first half dropped by 20% y-o-y with declines from all major countries except from China.

### Capacity / Fleet update

All vessels are fullly utilised and we continue to see a resilient market, however with growing imbalances. To meet our contractual commitments, support our cargo strategy and mitigate reduced efficiency, we have increased number of vessels in operation by adding additional short-term capacity. In Q1 ~100 operating days were added and another ~200 in Q2.

During the quarter, the fifth and sixth Aurora Class vessels; Höegh Sunrise and Höegh Moonlight were delivered from the yard and put into operations in May and June.

The global orderbook consists of 181 vessels with delivery up to 2030, equivalent to approximately 30% of the existing fleet.

### Sustainability

### Planet

Fleet transition and energy efficiency measures:

During the quarter, Höegh Autoliners successfully included Höegh Sunrise and Höegh Moonlight into operation following the official deliveries in May and June 2025. This enables the Company to progress on its decarbonisation journey, and on its efforts of decarbonise customer's supply chains. Six more Aurora Class vessels are scheduled for delivery over the next 2-3 years.

| Technical upgrades to<br>improve carbon efficiency | FY23 | FY24 | Q2 25 | YTD 25 | On<br>order |
|----------------------------------------------------|------|------|-------|--------|-------------|
| Upgrades installed (# of vessels)                  | 3    | 14   | 1     | 6      | 6           |

The newbuilding program and our plan for energy efficiency measures are progressing according to plan. During the quarter, one energy efficiency initiative was installed on one vessel, a propeller boss cap fin (PBCF). Additionally, orders were placed for six new fuel saving projects. These installations will be conducted during the vessels' next dry docks and/or in operation.

#### Environmental performance:

Höegh Autoliners continues to disclose its quarterly fleet carbon intensity (cgDIST) data, covering all owned and/or technically managed vessels. The graph to the right illustrates the cgDIST over the past five quarters, highlighting a further improvement in the current quarter. This positive trend in carbon intensity is primarily attributed to the ongoing fleet renewal program, the implementation of energy efficiency measures, the effects of recent dry-docks for several vessels, and the continued use of biofuels. During the quarter, approximately 2 300 MT of B100 biofuels were consumed. Additionally, a full quarter of operations with four Aurora Class vessels has contributed positively to the reduction in carbon intensity.

Looking ahead, Höegh Autoliners remains committed to its target of reducing its fleet carbon intensity by more than 30% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. The Company will continue to explore innovative solutions and new partnerships to optimize fleet efficiency and further reduce its environmental footprint. *\* Carbon intensity for the current year and quarter is calculated*

### Sustainability

### People

#### Health and safety

Höegh Autoliners has a strong aim on avoiding accidents and negative incidents of all types. We have extended our focus on the safety of our crew, and the continuous efforts in identifying risk and mitigating risk of accidents and sickness prior to commencement of work. At both pre-embarkation period, during sailing, and on crew conferences, we prioritize the health and safety of all our crew members. We conduct sessions and campaigns, both in-person and via interactive digital learning platforms.

#### Near accident reporting

Near accident reporting is considered as the main tool to identify potential hazards and prevent hazards from re-occurring in the future. By analysing the root cause of near accidents, we are able to determine what the basic cause of a near accident is, and therefore implement actions to create barriers that will prevent the hazards from re-occurring. In Q2 2025, we see a slight increase in near accident frequency from Q1, with a decrease in accident frequency during the same period.

#### Lost time reporting

Lost Time Incident Frequency (LTIF) has shown a consistent downward trend over the past three quarters, continuing in as the result for Q2. This improvement reflects enhanced safety measures and increased awareness onboard. We see that the enhanced focus on personal safety, preventing incidents, and safety awareness as part of our campaign throughout 2024 – and continuing in 2025 makes a lasting positive reduction of these numbers. Currently, the numbers are well below KPI target of 0.7.

We engage in a close dialogue with our pre-embarkation medical centres with focus on identifying pre-illness indicators. Although acute and unforeseen sickness is inevitable to occur, we are conducting mental and physical health surveys and campaigns, in addition to lifestyle/health sessions and infographics throughout the fleet.

For Q2, we register a slight increase from the previous quarterly report. The Lost Time Sickness Frequency (LTSF) was 1.57. The main reason for the increase was an unforeseen chickenpox outbreak, significantly affecting workforce availability for some days on the affected vessel. Vaccinations for chickenpox have been administered.

#### Employment and human capital

In Q2 2025, we conducted our annual engagement survey to assess the sentiment across the land-based organisation. The response rate remained strong at 92%, closely aligned with last year's 93%. The overall results were highly positive, with an engagement index of 83%, a 1 percentage point increase from 2024 and several scores exceeding the global 75th percentile benchmark provided by our external survey partner. Team-level results have been shared with leaders, and action planning is underway to address key insights and opportunities.

Learning and development continued to be a strategic priority. We launched new cohorts in both the Data & Analytics and Commercial Excellence programmes, aimed at building critical capabilities and accelerating performance. Additionally, 13 ambitious employees commenced the third cycle of our three-year development journey, which includes digital group sessions, self-assessments, and coaching—laying a strong foundation for future career growth within the company.

To mark Earth Day, we invited employees to learn and reflect on sustainability, innovation, and our shared responsibility for the planet through dedicated sessions designed to inspire new perspectives and foster meaningful dialogue.

Notes

# Note 1 Basis of preparation and accounting policies

#### Principal activities and corporate information

Höegh Autoliners ASA is a public limited liability company, registered and domiciled in Norway, with its head office in Oslo. The consolidated interim accounts for the Group include Höegh Autoliners ASA with its subsidiaries.

The Group is a fully integrated RoRo entity. It is one of the world's largest operators in the transportation of vehicles and high/heavy rolling cargo and operates a fleet of 39 vessels in global trading systems from a worldwide network of offices.

#### Basis of preparation

The Group's financial reporting is in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU) ("IFRS"). The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not contain all the information and disclosures required in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual report for 2024.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles followed in the Group's annual financial accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024. The interim financial information for 2025 and 2024 is unaudited.

All presented figures in this interim report have been rounded and consequently, the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.

### Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of the interim financial statements requires the use of evaluations, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and amounts recognized as assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The important assessments underlying the application of the Group's accounting policies, and the main sources of uncertainty are the same for the interim financial statements as for the consolidated financial statements for 2024.

### Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), defined as Management and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and are assessed, monitored, and managed on a regular basis.

#### Tax

The effective tax rate for the Group will, from period to period, change depending on the gains and losses from investments inside the exemption model and tax-exempt revenues from tonnage tax regimes.

Income tax expense is recognised in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. Amounts accrued for income tax expense in one interim period may have to be adjusted in a subsequent interim period of that financial year if the estimate of the annual income tax rate changes.

#### Earnings per share

Calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the net profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year after deduction of the average number of treasury shares held over the period.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is consistent with the calculation of basic earnings per share, while giving effect to all dilutive potential ordinary shares that were outstanding during the period.

Revenue from contracts with customers are recognised upon satisfaction of the performance obligation by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. Performance obligations for Freight revenues are satisfied over time through the progress of the voyage. As the service is delivered, the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits of the transport services the Group performs.

Other surcharges are primarily bunker surcharges, and surcharges related to handling of cargo. Terminal related revenues are recognised at a point in time as the performance obligation is satisfied when the service delivery is complete.

### Impairment/Reversal of impairment

#### Fleet

All Ro-Ro vessels in the Group operate in one cash generating unit with the purpose of maximising profit as a total. The impairment assessment is therefore based on the value in use principle for all the vessels in operation, and not vessel-by-vessel.

Market values of the vessels higher than the vessels carrying values, is an indication that impairment loss recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or has or has been reduced. The carrying values for vessels, equipments and right-of-use assets are at 30

June 2025 without any impairment. Market values for the vessels are slightly reduced compared to Q1 2025, however they are 49% higher than book values as at 30 June 2025 (60% at 31 March 2025, and 76% at year-end 2024).

Based on an assessment made at 30 June 2025, there are no indications that the vessels may be impaired.

Höegh Autoliners entered into two new credit facilities in March 2024; a USD 720 million credit facility for the purpose of refinancing the existing USD 810 million Credit Facility, and a new USD 200 million Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. Höegh Autoliners refinanced its USD 810 million Facility maturing 30 January 2028, on 21 March 2024. The refinancing included extended maturity until March 2030, reduced annual amortisations, reduced interest rate and a reduction of pledged vessels. The refinancing has been accounted for as a debt modification, resulting in a debt modification loss of USD 11 million recognised in Q1 2024. See also note 4

The new USD 200 million Revolving Credit Facility is non-amortising with maturity in March 2028. The facility is currently undrawn and will serve as an additional liquidity reserve and provide flexibility for future capital allocation. As of 30 June 2025, a total of USD 720 million has been drawn from the USD 720 million credit facility.

Other interest bearing debt of total USD 187 million relate to sale and leaseback arrangements with Bank of Communication for four Aurora Class vessels.

Höegh Autoliners was in compliance with all loan covenants at 30 June 2025.

| Total mortgage debt                  |            | 656 619            |

#### Security

The USD 720 million senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility is secured by mortgages in 12 of the Group's vessels, with a book value of USD 803 million. In addition, the debt is secured by an assignment of earnings and insurances.

### Note 6 Segment reporting

The Group has two operating segments, Shipping services and Logistics services. The Logistics segment represents less than 10% of the Group's total revenue, profit or loss and assets. The Group has decided that the segment is not material to the Group for the period ended 30 June 2025 and has reported information as one combined segment.

### Note 7 Share information and earnings per share

In November 2024, an Extraordinary General Meeting resolved to reduce the share capital from NOK 2 823 392 285.20 to NOK 190 769 749, by reducing the nominal value of each share with NOK 13.80, from NOK 14.80 to NOK 1. The reduction in share capital has been transferred to other paid-in equity.

Earnings per share takes into consideration the number of outstanding shares in the period.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit for the period after non-controlling interest, by average number of total outstanding shares (adjusted for average number of own shares). The Company has 3 652 own shares at 30 June 2025.

A share bonus program was introduced for certain key employees in 2021, to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by providing an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company. The program is a share bonus scheme where award shares are assigned on certain terms and conditions, and after a vesting period of three years are converted to shares. The award shares are used in the award calculation method for determining the number of bonus shares which shall be granted after the vesting period.

The three-year vesting period for the first award ended in November 2024 with a total of 326 348 shares granted to the participants. The shares were delivered from the Company's own shares.

The fourth award under the program was assigned in December 2024.

Based on the share bonus program calculation, a total number of potential bonus shares as of 30 June 2025 is 200 684, resulting in a diluting effect of USD 0.001 per share for the three months ended 30 June 2025.

Basic earnings per share for the second quarter was USD 0.65 compared with USD 0.91 in the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter was USD 0.64 compared to USD 0.90 in the same quarter last year.

#### The Company's share capital is as follows:

| Share capital    | Share capital 30 June 2025 |
|------------------|----------------------------|
| Number of shares | 190 769 749                |
| USD million      | 30.0                       |
| NOK million      | 190.8                      |

### Note 8 Contingent liabilities

#### Update on alleged breaches of anti-trust regulations in Brazil

On 23 March 2022, The Administrative Council for Economic Defence (CADE) in Brazil issued a fine of approximately BRL 26 million (USD 4.7 million) to Höegh Autoliners for alleged breaches of anti-trust regulations dating back to 2000-2012. Since Höegh Autoliners did not have any turnover in Brazil in the relevant period, the fine is calculated on a "virtual turnover" principle, based on Brazil's relevance in the worldwide PCTC market. The decision (including the "virtual turnover" calculation) may be challenged before the Appellate Court in Brazil. Höegh Autoliners disagrees with CADE's decision and after reviewing its merits, the Company has proceeded with an appeal. No provision has been made in the financial statements as of 30 June 2025.

### Note 9 Events after the balance sheet date

#### Dividend

On 21 August 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to distribute a cash dividend of USD 0.7181 per share. The dividend will be paid out in September 2025.

#### Fleet update

On 21 August 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to sell the vessel Höegh Beijing for USD 43 million with delivery in Q3.

#### Contract update

In August 2025, the Company signed one three-year contract with an international car producer, contract value above USD 100 million.

# Alternative Performance Measures

Höegh Autoliners presents certain financial measures, which, in accordance with the "Alternative Performance Measures" guidance issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority, are not accounting measures defined or specified in IFRS and are, therefore, considered alternative performance measures. Höegh Autoliners believes that alternative performance measures provide meaningful supplemental information to the financial measures presented in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and increase the understanding of the profitability of Höegh Autoliners' operations. In addition, they are seen as useful indicators of the Group's financial position and ability to obtain funding. Alternative performance measures are not accounting measures defined or specified in IFRS and, therefore, they are considered non-IFRS measures, which should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute to the IFRS financial measures.  

### Definitions of Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

*This section describes the non-GAAP financial alternative performance measures (APM) that are used in the quarterly and annual reports.*

*EBITDA is defined as Total revenues less Operating expenses. EBITDA is used as an additional measure of the Group's operational profitability, excluding the impact from depreciation, amortisation, financial items and taxes.*

*Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding items in the profit or loss which are not regarded as part of the underlying business. Example of such costs are redundancy costs, cost related to anti-trust investigation and other non-recurring one offs.*

*Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) is defined as interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.*
