KEY POINTS THIRD QUARTER 2021
Profit/loss for Q3 2021: USD 65 million (Q3 2020: USD 27 million).
Profit/loss for Q3 per business unit:
- Asset Management: USD 8 million (USD 6 million).
- Dry Operator: USD 68 million (USD 31 million).
- Tanker Operator: USD -11 million (USD -10 million).
Adjusted Result* for Q3 2021: USD 52 million (USD 27 million)
Adjusted Result for the first nine months of 2021: USD 78 million (first nine months of 2020: USD 85 million).
* "Profit/loss for the period" adjusted for "Profit/loss from sale of vessels. etc".
Business highlights
- Asset Management: Market value of owned and leased vessels increased to USD 1.4 billion in Q3.
- Actively converting market value to profit through 7 dry cargo vessel sales and entering into attractive time charter covers that will benefit 2022 results.
- Dry Operator: Capitalised on dry cargo rate increases on the back of a significant long position built up in H1, which will further benefit NORDEN in Q4.
- Significant value created for 2022 in both Dry Operator and Asset Management.
- Tanker Operator: Positioning for market improvements by adding T/C capacity and optionality to portfolio, believing the market has bottomed out.
Markets
- Dry cargo: Market rates increased with sustained disruptions on vessel availability, high Chinese coal demand, rest of world demand improvements, and spillover effect from container market.
- Dry cargo rates: Spot rates increased by 15% for Supramax and by 28% for Handysize in Q3. The price of a 5-year old Supramax increased by 17%. Dry cargo market expected to remain at strong levels moving into 2022.
- Tankers: Continued drawdowns on oil inventories during Q3, with competition from crude carriers.
-
Tanker rates: Poor spot rates further exacerbated, with MR Atlantic spot rates decreasing significantly. The price of a 5-year old MR tanker increased by 4%.
-
NORDEN narrows its guidance for the full-year Adjusted Result for 2021 to USD 150 to 200 million (previously USD 140-220 million).
- Expecting a strong Q4 result in Dry Operator having neutralised its position ahead of recent spot market declines.
- Sacrificing short-term operating earnings by adding T/C capacity in Tanker Operator and selling Dry Cargo vessels to capture value increases.
- In addition, NORDEN has decided to initiate a share buyback programme of up to USD 40 million.
"Q3 was NORDEN's best quarterly result since Q1 2011, as we capitalised on a favourable position in very strong Dry Cargo market conditions. The market value of NORDEN's dry cargo vessel portfolio continues to rise and we are capturing this value through cover contracts and vessel sales. NORDEN had neutralised its dry cargo exposure for Q4 ahead of recent rate declines, and with a narrowed guidance for the full-year result of USD 150-200 million (approx. DKK 950-1,250 million), we are well on track to deliver NORDEN's best annual result in 11 years". NORDEN — INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT — THIRD QUARTER 2021 key points

COMMENTS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 2021 NORDEN — INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT — THIRD QUARTER 2021 financial comments
Results
The profit for the third quarter of 2021 amounted to USD 65 million (USD 27 million). For the first nine months of 2021, the profit was USD 82 million (USD 83 million).
Depreciations increased both for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2021, mainly due to recognition of more right-of-use assets compared to last year.
Net financial items amounted to a net cost of USD 11 million (USD 7 million) in the third quarter and USD 24 million (USD 20 million) in the first nine months.
Equity
Equity amounted to USD 806 million at the end of Q3, compared to USD 903 million at the end of 2020. The development is due to dividends paid and a temporary effect of fair value adjustments on cash flow hedges in line with rising dry cargo market rates. Equity is expected to increase significantly, as the effect of these cash flow hedges is reversed and earnings from hedged Dry Cargo positions are realised.
Cash flows & liquidity
Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter was positive USD 154 million (USD 161 million), driven by strong operational results.
At the end of the third quarter, NORDEN had available liquidity of USD 415 million, which consists of USD 290 million in cash and cash equivalents supplemented by USD 125 million in undrawn credit facilities.
Based on the strong liquidity position and expectations of further operating cash flow in Q4, NORDEN has decided to initiate a share buyback programme of USD 40 million.
Impairment assessment
NORDEN has carried out a routine assessment of indicators of impairment. Management has concluded that no impairment tests had to be performed. It is Management's assessment that at the end of the third quarter of 2021, there is no need for impairment of vessels, right-ofuse assets and newbuildings or reversal of previous impairment.
Energy efficiency operational indicator (EEOI)
NORDEN's overall carbon emissions relative to transport volumes have been stable compared to the same period last year. In Q3 2021, during a period with record high dry cargo activity, NORDEN's EEOI amounted to 9.8 (see page 4 for definition and development in EEOI).
Lost time injury frequency (LTIF)
During Q3 2021, there were 2 injuries on NORDEN's owned vessels, and the yearto-date average for lost time related to injuries on board vessels amounted to 0.7, which is in line with the year-to-date average for the same period in 2020 (see page 4 for definition and development in LTIF).

ASSET MANAGEMENT PROFITS FROM ASSET TRADING
Markets
Dry cargo asset and period markets
- Asset prices across NORDEN's vessel types have increased during Q3. The price of a 5-year old Supramax increased by 17%, reaching USD 31.1 million. Good demand, significant supply disruptions and the few newbuilding orders continue to create a favourable situation for dry cargo markets.
- 1-year T/C rates for a Supramax vessel increased by 28% from USD 22,140 per day to USD 28,440 per day during Q3.
- While market rates have recently declined after Q3, the dry cargo market is expected to remain at strong levels moving into 2022, supported by a low newbuilding orderbook, as container vessel newbuildings continue to take up shipyard capacity in the coming years. However, there is increasing uncertainty related to the Chinese economy and related dry cargo demand.
Tanker asset and period markets
- Asset prices in the product tanker market remain stable despite the challenged spot market. The price of a 5-year old MR tanker has increased slightly during the quarter by 4%, reaching USD 28.2 million. Historically low orderbooks of tanker vessels and increased yard costs continue to provide support to tanker asset prices.
- 1-year T/C rates remained stable in a very illiquid period market, where the 1-year T/C rate for MR eco tonnage decreased by USD 500 to USD 14,000 per day through the quarter compared to MR non-eco tonnage, decreasing by USD 1,000 to USD 11,750 per day.
- Global oil inventories continue to be drawn down, and larger commodity groups are nearing pre-COVID-19 demand levels, which in combination with increasing production may promote more activity on the crude oil market, positively reducing the oversupply of vessels in the product tanker market. We expect this to support T/C rates in coming quarters, while the low orderbook will continue to protect asset prices.

Results
Business highlights
- Dry Operator generated a profit of USD 68 million in Q3 2021 (Q3 2020: USD 31 million), which is the best quarterly result since the business unit was formed.
- Result per vessel day amounted to USD 2,304 per day, which is an increase of 114% compared to Q3 2020.
-
Average quarterly profit/loss for 2021 has increased to USD 34 million, as the business unit has capitalised on the increasing dry cargo markets during 2021.
-
Actively utilised dry cargo spot rate increase based on the significant long position built up during H1, which NORDEN will also benefit from in Q4.
- Capitalised on arbitrage opportunities between geographies and vessel types in volatile markets.
- Capitalising on record high Pacific rates by repositioning tonnage towards an increasing Atlantic market. High exposure to the Handysize market, benefitting from positive spill-over effects from container cargoes.
Markets
- Spot rates increased during Q3, with sustained disruptions on the availability of vessels, caused by bottlenecks, continued high Chinese demand of vessels and rest-of-world demand improvements.
- Added tonnes-miles from the traditional agricultural export season as well as positive spillover from container market.
- Market is expected to remain high, driven by congestion and other inefficiences during the remainder of 2021.

TANKER OPERATOR POSITIONED FOR 2022 MARKET IMPROVEMENTS
Results
Business highlights
- Tanker Operator realised a loss of USD -11 million (Q3 2020: USD -10 million). External management fee income, included in this result, totalled USD 3 million during Q3, booked as Other Operating Income.
- Result per vessel day amounted to USD -940 per day, which is a decrease of 13% compared to Q3 2020.
-
During a period with historically low product tanker rates over the past quarters, the average quarterly profit/loss for 2021 decreased to USD -8 million.
-
In the short-term, the business unit continues to mitigate worst effects of a poor market with a combination of time-charter out contracts, FFA hedges in addition to spot market exposure.
- However, Tanker Operator continues to add length to its position for the rest of 2021 and into 2022 through time charter vessels with attractive optionality.
- Incorporated 10 new vessels to the pool during the quarter, with the majority from the recently extended partnership with International Seaways.
- Increased exposure to soft oils (palm oils, vegetable oils), making up an increasing percentage of the commodities transported.
Markets
- Oil demand largely met by drawdowns on inventories, and effective supply of vessels was further impacted by competition from crude carriers entering the product tanker market.
- However, market demand of the larger commodities (gasoline, diesel) are gradually moving towards 2019 levels.
- Global oil inventories appear to be drawn down to levels that may promote more activity in the crude oil market, which is necessary for the product tanker market to gain strength. Energy shortages during the remainder of 2021 could lead to increased oil demand during Q4.

OUTLOOK FOR 2021
Guidance
NORDEN narrows its guidance for the fullyear Adjusted Result for 2021 to be in the range of USD 150 to 200 million (previously USD 140-220 million).
NORDEN expects a strong Q4 result in Dry Operator having neutralised its position ahead of recent spot market declines.
The Company is sacrificing short-term operating earnings by adding T/C capacity in Tanker Operator and selling dry cargo vessels to capture value increases.
NORDEN remains committed to returning cash to its shareholders through the Company's dividend policy, paying out minimum 50% of the annual Adjusted Result.
In addition, based on the strong liquidity position and expectations of further operating cash flow in Q4, NORDEN has decided to initiate a share buyback programme of USD 40 million.
Asset Management
The Asset Management business unit expects lower earnings in 2021 compared to last year due to lower coverage rates on the tanker fleet. The long-term focus and high coverage of the business unit means that the strong Dry Cargo market will only benefit earnings from 2022 onwards, as current contracts are gradually renewed with higher paying cover contracts. NORDEN — INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT — THIRD QUARTER 2021 outlook
Furthermore, increasing period rates and asset values will increase the value of NORDEN's portfolio of owned and leased vessels, which is expected to be significantly higher compared to the end of 2020.
Dry Operator
Dry Operator expects an annual Adjusted Result, which is significantly better than the record result for 2020. Dry Operator expects to capitalise on high activity in a strong dry cargo market, and deliver very strong earnings in Q4 2021.
Tanker Operator
While the business unit has operated with high coverage during the year, the historically weak tanker spot market coupled with investments in T/C capacity to build upside for 2022 means Tanker Operator expects a loss for the year.
Risk and uncertainties
The above expectations are subject to uncertainty related to the development in the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global trade.
All business units are furthermore sensitive to counterparty risks as well as operational risks.
Events after the reporting date
No significant events have occurred between the reporting date and the publication of this quarterly report that have not already been included and adequately disclosed in the quarterly report and that materially affect the assessment of the Company's and Group's results of operations or financial position.
"NORDEN narrows its guidance for the full-year Adjusted Result for 2021 to USD 150-200 million (previously USD 140-220 million)."
Forward-looking statements
This report includes forward-looking statements reflecting management's current perception of future trends and financial performance. The statements for the rest of 2021 and the years to come naturally carry some uncertainty, and NORDEN's actual results may therefore differ from expectations. Factors that may cause the results achieved to differ from the expectations are, among other things, but not exclusively, changes in the macroeconomic and political conditions – especially in the Group's key markets – changes in NORDEN's assumptions of rate development and operating costs, volatility in rates and vessel prices, changes in legislation, possible interruptions in traffic and operations as a result of external events, etc.
STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT
Besides what has been disclosed in the Interim Report, no other significant changes in the Group's risks and uncertainties have occurred relative to what was disclosed in the consolidated annual report for 2020.
In our opinion, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S' consolidated assets, equity and liabilities and the financial position at 30 September 2021 as well as the result of Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S' consolidated activities and cash flows for the period 1 January to 30 September.
Furthermore, in our opinion the Management Review gives a fair representation of the Group's activities and financial position as well as a description of the material risks and uncertainties which the Group is facing.

* NORDEN actively manages its freight exposure to optimise its risk adjusted returns using charter contracts, cargo contracts and freight derivatives. During Q1-Q3 2021, NORDEN has made extensive use of hedge instruments in order to grow the number of vessels chartered in to a record level while keeping total risks well managed. With the strong rise in Dry Cargo market rates during the quarter, these positions become highly profitable. However, a temporary negative effect of USD 121 million arises on equity as the effect of the hedge instruments are included in comprehensive earnings for Q1-Q3 2021, while the offsetting positive effect from the physical vessel voyages will only enter accounts as they are completed.

1. Basis of preparation and changes to NORDEN's accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for the interim financial reporting of listed companies.
The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The accounting policies, judgements and estimates are consistent with those applied in the consolidated annual report for 2020, apart from changes described below.
1.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
The Group has adopted standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2021. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.
Adoption of new or amended IFRSs
NORDEN has implemented amendments and interpretations to existing standards effective as of 1 January 2021. Refer to note 1.2 in the interim report for Q1 2021 for a full list of amendments and interpretations implemented as of 1 January 2021.
None of these interpretations or amendments have had any effect on the accounting policies applied by NORDEN.
For a complete description of accounting policies, see the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2020, pages 75-113 in the consolidated annual report for 2020.
Standards not yet in force at the end of September 2021
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group's consolidated financial statements. The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.
New and amended financial reporting standards are either irrelevant or insignificant to NORDEN.
Significant accounting estimates and judgements
The accounting estimates and judgements, which Management deems to be significant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, are impairment test and non-lease component for leases under IFRS 16 Leases. Reference is made to note 1.4 "Significant accounting estimates and judgements" on page 76 for a further description in the consolidated annual report for 2020.
