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

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

AÐFERÐAFRÆÐI
• Sú aðferðafræði sem er beitt í skýrslu Analytica hæfir ekki til að meta meint tjón og að mati Hagrannsókna eru tveir meginveikleikar á
• Analytica styðst einungis við mælingar á hlutfallslegum verðbreytingum, en gerir enga tilraun til þess að meta hvort verðlagning skipafélaganna hafi verið óeðlileg. Sú aðferðafræði dugir ekki til að leggja mat á hvort um um óhæfilega háa verðlagningu sé að ræða eða ekki, eða til að meta tjón af
- aðferðafræðinni þess eðlis að hvor þeirra fyrir sig nægir til að gera matið í skýrslu Analytica marklaust
- hennar völdum
- hverjum tíma. Í skýrslu Analytica er ekki gerð nein tilraun til að meta þessi atriði
• Til að finna fullkomið samkeppnisverð fyrir þjónustu skipafélaganna er nauðsynlegt að hafa skýra mynd af framleiðslukostnaði þeirra og afkastagetu á
FORSENDUR
• Mat Analytica á þróun sjóflutningsverða byggja á afar takmörkuðum gögnum (gjaldskrá fyrir vissa þjónustuþætti Samskipa, en engum gögnum um
• Analytica gefur sér þá forsendu að verð fyrir þjónustu skipafélaganna hefði átt að fylgja vísitölu neysluverðs. VNV er vísitala sem mælir verðbreytingar á útgjöldum heimila sem samanstanda aðallega af mat og drykk, fatnaði, húsgögnum og húsnæði. Augljóst er að útgjöld heimilanna
• Opinberar verðvísitölur sem komast nær kostnaði við skipaflutninga en VNV (þ.e. VNV án húsnæðis, vísitölur innflutningsverðs, vísitölur meðalgengis

- íslensku skipafélaganna er svipuð og síst betri en evrópskra skipafélaga
• Analytica telur að Baltic Dry vísitalan gefi nothæfa mynd af því hvernig erlent verð fyrir skipaflutninga hliðstæða flutningum íslensku skipafélaganna hefði átt að þróast. Sú forsenda er röng þar sem Baltic Dry vísitalan sýnir þróun verðlagningar í stórflutningum (e. bulk) með hrávörur á borð við kol,
• Gögn þau um afkomu íslensku skipafélaganna og erlendra skipafélaga sem Analytica birtir eru bæði röng og villandi. Réttari gögn sýna að afkoma
ÚTREIKNINGAR
• Nokkur alvarleg mistök er að finna í útreikningum í minnisblaði Analytica, til viðbótar við óviðeigandi aðferðafræði og rangar forsendur

- Rangir útreikningar á meintum viðbótarkostnaði
- Ofmat á meintum kostnaðarauka innflytjenda auk tvítalningar
- Ranglega metinn kostnaður vegna hækkunar verðtryggðra lánasamninga

- Í febrúar birti ráðgjafarfyrirtækið Analytica ehf. minnisblað um mat á meintu tjóni vegna samkeppnismálsins 2008- 2013
- Í kjölfarið óskaði Eimskip eftir því við ráðgjafarfyrirtækið Hagrannsóknir sf. að það tæki að sér að yfirfara umrætt minnisblað með skipulegum hætti með það fyrir augum að staðfesta og eftir atvikum gera athugasemdir við efnisþætti þess

- Hagrannsóknum var frjálst að taka á viðfangsefninu eins og það taldi efni máls standa til og engin takmörk sett af hálfu Eimskips
- Jafnframt veitti Eimskip þann aðgang að innri gögnum fyrirtækisins sem Hagrannsóknir töldu þörf á

| • | 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 |

| 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

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Acceptable results given softened demand in Iceland and a strike in the Faroe Islands while International Forwarding performed well
INCOME STATEMENT Q2 2024
- Revenue remained at same level as last year and amounted to EUR 210m in the quarter
- 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

| 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 forwarding |
