Q2 2024 RESULTS 20 August 2024

LINER
SERVICES
Container liner revenue decreased from previous year mainly due to a slight decrease in total volume, lower Trans-Atlantic rates, different cargo mix in
export to Iceland and a four-week strike in the Faroe Islands in the period

Import volume to Iceland decreased by 1,100 teus, driven by a sharp decline in automobile imports while other categories remained stable or increased slightly

Export out of Iceland increased by 1,100 teus on back of strong increase in export of recycling materials. Decrease in pelagic products and aluminum was offset by
increase in export of fresh fish and silicon metal

An extensive four-week strike in the Faroe Islands had a significant impact on the Faroese operations in the quarter and caused a volume decrease of 1,200 teus.
The negative financial impact of the strike on the EBITDA in the quarter is estimated at EUR 1.8m

Trans-Atlantic volume was on a similar level as in the previous year and west/east balance improved, but rates were considerably
lower than in the same quarter
last year
Strong quarter in Norway and a volume increase equivalent to 700 teus on back of a good whitefish and shrimp season
INTERNATIONAL
FORWARDING
International forwarding performed well in the quarter and delivered results in line with second quarter last year while volume increased by 4%.
Recent surge in global freight rates affected both revenue and third-party expenses, resulting in a good growth in EBITDA from first quarter this year
OTHER Domestic Iceland delivered good results thanks to strong operational focus, improved balance in the trucking system, good utilization in warehouses
and cold storages and solid demand in ferry services
The cruise season started well for Eimskip's Cruise Agency business both in Iceland and Greenland although the financial impact is larger in the third
quarter

Q2 HIGHLIGHTS

Acceptable results as business picked up after a challenging first quarter

NEW HARBOR CRANE

Norðural, a valued customer of Eimskip, is known for producing a high-quality aluminum metal using green energy

Norðural has recently extended their product portfolio into more value-added Low-Carbon Aluminum for Premium Products which is cast into billets

Eimskip has, together with the customer, developed a specialized flat-rack solution to transport the billets ensuring highest quality standard in product handling, as well as lower carbon footprint

By leveraging Eimskip employees' knowledge and resourcefulness in cooperation with Norðural a customized solution was offered for a complex transportation

LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Eimskip took delivery of a new electric mobile harbor crane in Sundahöfn terminal in July. The crane has been named Bára which means "wave"

This investment is a part of a strategic project that includes increasing capacity and efficiency at the terminal, increasing reliability of the sailing system and strengthening customer service

The new crane is fully electric like the other three cranes at Sundahöfn which aligns with the Company's environmental commitment

Eimskip graduated the fourth class of the Company's International Leadership Program at the end of May. The program plays an important role in developing leaders, increasing collaboration, and driving cultural enhancement within the Company

In total, 37 out of 131 graduates have advanced their carrier after participating in the program, there of 22 women, demonstrating the program's effectiveness in equipping individuals for leadership roles

The Leadership program is built on the Company's leadership and succession planning model and equips participants with essential leadership skills to navigate today's dynamic business landscape

LANDFRÆÐILEG SÉRSTAÐA ÍSLANDS

Sérstaða Íslands og kröfur viðskiptavina í sjóflutningum krefjast skilvirkni og sveigjanleika í hafnarþjónustu

FRAMTÍÐARSKIPULAG SUNDAHAFNAR

  • Staða Íslands sem eyju í Norður-Atlantshafi takmarkar flutningsmáta í millilandaflutningum samanborið við helstu viðskiptalönd
  • Landfræðileg lega Íslands gerir það að verkum að vörutegundir með takmarkaðan líftíma eru í ríkari mæli fluttar sjóleiðis heldur en þekkist annars staðar þar sem fjölbreyttari möguleikar til landflutninga eru fyrir hendi
  • Krefjandi veðurfar og sjólag í kringum Ísland geta haft umtalsverð áhrif á siglingaáætlanir til og frá landinu yfir vetrarmánuðina en samþætting sjóflutnings, hafnarþjónustu og vörudreifingar í samkeppni gerir það að verkum að hægt er að bjóða áreiðanlega og hraða þjónustu

  • Fjárfestingar í íslenskum sjávarútvegi síðustu áratugi í veiðum og vinnslu, ásamt uppbyggingu í laxeldi, hafa skilað auknum útflutningi á ferskri og fullunninni vöru

  • Aukin krafa íslenskra neytenda um aðgang að ferskri innfluttri matvöru, hefur að sama skapi kallað á þróun og aðlögun sjóflutninga til þess að geta afhent slíka vöru með skilvirkum og áreiðanlegum hætti
  • Þessi virðisaukandi þróun hefur kallað á aukinn hraða og sveigjanleika í flutningskeðjunni, ekki síst með tilliti til sjóflutnings sem er umhverfisvænasti flutningsmátinn í millilandaflutningum
  • Samþætting sjóflutnings, hafnarþjónustu og vörudreifingar er lykilatriði í því að uppfylla ríkar kröfur íslenskra neytenda um land allt og til þess að tryggja útflutningsverðmæti okkar verðmætu sjávarafurða

ÞARFIR VIÐSKIPTAVINA Í SJÓFLUTNINGUM

Samþætting sjóflutninga, hafnarþjónustu og vörudreifingar eykur sveigjanleika og áreiðanleika í aðfangakeðju Íslands að mati Portwise

FRAMTÍÐARSKIPULAG SUNDAHAFNAR

  • Eimskip hefur um árabil boðið skilvirka hafnarþjónustu með hraða, áreiðanleika og sveigjanleika að leiðarljósi
    • Hafnarþjónusta Eimskips í Sundahöfn stendur þriðju aðilum til boða og hefur félagið m.a. þjónustað annað skipafélag vikulega um langt skeið
  • Alþjóðlega ráðgjafarfyrirtækið Portwise gerði nýverið úttekt á rekstrarformi hafnarþjónustu í Sundahöfn og var niðurstaðan sú að núverandi fyrirkomulag sé það ákjósanlegasta fyrir hagsmuni viðskiptavina í sjóflutningum sem og fyrir Faxaflóahafnir
    • Rök Portwise snúa fyrst og fremst að því að samþætting sjóflutninga, hafnarþjónustu og vörudreifingar í samkeppni auki sveigjanleika og áreiðanleika í aðfangakeðjum Íslands byggt á landfræðilegri sérstöðu Íslands og með hliðsjón af þörfum viðskiptavina
    • Þá staðfestir Portwise að sú hafnarþjónusta sem veitt er í Sundahöfn standist vel samanburð við sambærilegar hafnir erlendis þegar litið er til framleiðni og verðlagningar

  • Sundahöfn er fjarri því að vera eina millilandahöfnin á Íslandi og hlutdeild Sundahafnar í innog útflutningi frá landinu hefur farið minnkandi undanfarin ár
  • Samkeppni í áætlanasiglingum hefur vaxið verulega á síðasta áratug og viðskiptavinum í sjóflutningum standa fleiri og fjölbreyttari kostir til boða en áður. Í dag bjóða alls fimm skipafélög upp á vikulegar áætlanasiglingar til og frá Íslandi í gegnum ýmsar hafnir
    • Auk mikils framboðs af vikulegum áætlanasiglingum eru fjölmargir aðilar sem bjóða upp á annars konar sjóflutningslausnir á borð við stórflutningaskip (e. bulk vessels), tankskip og ýmis sérhæfð skip tengd ákveðnum verkefnum
  • Sé miðað við gögn Hagstofunnar fyrir árið 2023 má áætla að rétt tæp 20% af heildarflutningum í tonnum til og frá landinu hafi farið í gegnum Sundahöfn á vegum Eimskips
    • Þá er undanskilið magn sem getur ekki farið með gámaskipum, s.s. eldsneyti, súrál o.fl. en sé það talið með er hlutdeild Eimskips í gegnum Sundahöfn innan við 10% af heildarflutningum til og frá landinu í tonnum talið

Global freight rates surged in Q2 amid growing demand and tight capacity due to the Red-Sea situation and growing geopolitical tensions

GLOBAL SHIPPING MARKET

KEY HIGHLIGHTS DREWRY WORLD CONTAINER INDEX
Drewry World Container Index, which measures changes in container spot rates across eight 12,000
major trade lanes, has increased by 210% YoY after rates took off at the beginning of second
quarter
10,000
This surge in global freight rates is driven by increase in global trade at the same time as 8,000
capacity remains under pressure due to e.g.
the Red-Sea situation and port congestion which
has resurfaced as stress on fragile supply chains has increased
6,000

In recent weeks there have been some signs of easing as spot rates have softened after the massive
increase in the prior months
4,000
Eimskip is a large buyer of ocean freight in the global shipping market, both through its' 2,000
freight forwarding operation as well as in pre-
and on-carriage of cargo that is transported in
Eimskip's sailing system
0

Therefore, change in global freight rates affects both Eimskip's revenue and cost of third-party
transportation services
CASE STUDY –
40 FEET CONTAINER FROM SHANGHAI TO REYKJAVIK
  • The global shipping market is characterized by significantly higher volatility than Eimskip's home market in the North Atlantic
  • The graph on the right shows the cost development for a given import customer from July 2022 to July 2024 of transporting a 40 feet dry container from Shanghai to Reykjavik
  • While the total transportation cost from mainport Europe to Reykjavik by Eimskip's vessel has changed marginally, the rate from mainland China to mainport Europe with a major Deep Sea Carrier has at the same time changed in line with changes in global freight rates
    • The deep-sea carriers' rate increased by 375% or more than quadrupled from July 2023 to July this year after having decreased significantly from July 2022 to July 2023

    • Increase in Forwarding revenue driven by higher global freight rates especially in Asia connected trade
  • Liner revenue decreased by EUR 12.9m while Forwarding revenue increased by EUR 13.0m
  • Decrease in Liner revenue mainly explained by lower Trans-Atlantic rates, lower import volume and different export cargo mix in Iceland and a four-week strike in the Faroe Islands
  • lanes
  • Expenses amounted to EUR 186m, an increase of EUR 10.9m, driven by cost of thirdparty logistics services which increased by EUR 10.8m from previous year
    • Bunker expenses increased marginally by EUR 0.6m while the newly imposed ETS expense amounted to EUR 0.9m in the quarter
    • Salary expenses increased by 2.9% or EUR 1.1m partly offset by 2% reduction in number of FTEs compared to same quarter last year

INVESTMENT CAPEX

LINER
SERVICES
Vehicle imports to Iceland remain on a weak level with signs of softened demand in other categories such as building materials, while foodstuff and general cargo
imports demonstrate robustness
Generally positive outlook in export from Iceland with new quota year starting in September with a similar groundfish quota as last year and expectations of
increasing salmon harvesting and stable exports of industrial and recycling products
Solid outlook in the Faroe Islands with stable import volume that is expected to continue in the coming months. The quarter started slowly in export but picked up in
August and is expected to be on a good level in the next few months on back of promising mackerel season and salmon harvesting that is expected to peak in Q3
Positive outlook in reefer liner services and cold storages in Norway with expectations of good export of pelagic products and shrimp. There is still some whitefish
quota left that is expected to contribute further to the reefer volumes in coming months
Trans-Atlantic volume has increased in both directions in recent weeks and is expected to continue on
a good level in the coming months. Furthermore, rates have
increased moderately from the end of second quarter and are expected to remain on a steady level
INTERNATIONAL
FORWARDING
Global market conditions expected to remain favorable in the coming months and contribute to continued good financial performance in the segment, although
volumes might be affected by the capacity and container shortage that is driving the increase in global freight rates
Successful cruise agency season in Iceland and Greenland peaking in the current quarter
OTHER Formalizing Eimskip's presence in Izmir, Turkey by establishing an office in this important gateway between Europe, Middle East and Asia with focus on reefer
