Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Eimskipafelag Íslands hf. 30 June 2021


Endorsement and Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

Operations and significant matters

Eimskip is a leading transportation company in the North Atlantic with connections to international markets and is specialized in worldwide freight forwarding services, with the vision of providing excellence in transportation solutions and services. Eimskip specializes in shipping, logistics and supply chain management and offers its customers solutions on land, sea and air with special emphasis on the handling and storing of any type of temperature-controlled cargo, frozen or chilled, and dry cargo.

Net earnings for the first six months of the year 2021 amounted to EUR 6.0 million according to the Consolidated Income Statement. Total equity at 30 June 2021 amounted to EUR 225.7 million according to the Statement of Financial Position.

The operational performance of the first half of 2021 was strong with improvements in the container liner services as main driver as well as good performance in the international forwarding services. Focused revenue management and good volume growth are delivering results and the operation is leveraging on lower cost base following streamlining measures and integration. Albeit disruption in the global transportation, markets are challenging and affecting both revenues and cost with the net effect being positive on the result.

In June 2021, Eimskip and the Competition Authority reached a settlement regarding the competition case that had been under investigation since 2013. As a result, Eimskip agreed to pay a fine amounting to 1.5 billion ISK or approximately EUR 10 million. The fine has been expensed in Q2 but the payment date was July 15th. Please refer to note 13 for further information.

The Annual General Meeting of Eimskip approved on 25 March 2021 shareholder distributions which consisted of a dividend payment, reduction of treasury shares in relation to previous share buy back programs and a share capital reduction with a payment to shareholders. Please refer to note 14 for further information.

Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Eimskipafelag Islands hf. 30 June 2021


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Reporting entity

Eimskipafélag Íslands hf. (the "Company" or the "Parent Company") is a public limited liability company domiciled in Iceland. The address of the Company's registered office is Korngardar 2, 104 Reykjavík. The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company for the period 1 January to 30 June 2021 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "Eimskip" or the "Group"). The Parent Company is an investment company focused on investments in shipping and logistics services. The Company's shares are listed at Nasdaq Iceland.

2. Basis of preparation

a. Statement of compliance

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and additional Icelandic disclosure requirements for consolidated financial information of listed companies in accordance with Icelandic Financial Statements Act No. 3/2006 and rules for issuers of financial instruments on Nasdaq Iceland.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of consolidated annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020, which is available on the Company's website, www.eimskip.com, and in the company news release distribution network of Nasdaq Nordic.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on 19 August 2021.

b. Functional and presentation currency

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are presented in Euro (EUR), which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in EUR has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied in the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020. IFRS standards effective as at 1 January 2021 had immaterial effects on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

4. Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The Company has, from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, strived to secure the safety and health of employees and to maintain and secure the logistic chain and customer services. The impact of the pandemic on global economies, including in the North-Atlantic Region which is the Company's core market area, remains uncertain. The pandemic could have a significant impact on the estimates and assumptions within the current financial year and risk of causing a material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as discussed below. As to date, it is management's assessment that assumptions applied in the 2020 financial statements remain unchanged but would like to emphasize the following:

Intangible assets

Eimskip annually tests whether the carrying amount of intangible assets is impaired. At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. Management has reviewed the impairment tests performed at year-end 2020. Please refer to note 13 in the Financial Statements of 2020. To date, there is no indication of impairment but management would like to point out the increased uncertainty due to COVID-19 which may affect future valuation of intangible assets.

Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Eimskipafélag Íslands hf. 30 June 2021


Notes

4. Use of estimates and judgements, continued

Impairment loss on trade receivables and finance assets

Eimskip establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and finance assets. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets. As to date, there has not been any development indicating increase in payment defaults and therefore there have not been made any specific loss provisions on credit losses due to COVID-19 but management closely monitors collections.

13. Other matters

Investigation of the Icelandic Competition Authority

In June 2021, Eimskip and the Competition Authority reached a settlement regarding the competition case that had been under investigation since 2013, where the main period of investigation was 2008 to 2013. As a result, Eimskip agreed to pay a fine amounting to 1.5 billion ISK or approximately EUR 10 million. The fine has been expensed in Q2 but the payment date was July 15th 2021. This settlement concludes the investigation towards Eimskip and there will be no further investigation or proceedings against the Company or its employees on behalf of the Icelandic Competition Authority regarding the matter.

The Environment Agency of Iceland

The Environment Agency of Iceland reported the Company to the District Prosecutors for alleged violation of the Icelandic Waste Management Act due to the vessels Godafoss and Laxfoss being recycled in India. The Company rejects these allegations as the Company complied with all laws and regulations in the sale process.

Tax related matters

The Icelandic Directorate of Internal Revenue ruled in December 2017 regarding the taxation of the operation of foreign vessel subsidiaries of Eimskip. The Internal Revenue Board confirmed the ruling in March 2019. Due to this ruling Eimskip expensed EUR 3.4 million in the Income Statement in the first quarter of 2019 and has paid EUR 0.7 million as well as utilized EUR 2.7 million of tax-losses carried forward.

Eimskip disagreed with the ruling of the Internal Revenue Board and referred the case to Reykjavik District Court which ruled against claims made by the Company on April 8th 2021 which had no effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company decided on April 29th 2021 to refer the case to the Court of Appeal.

Impact of COVID-19

Under current funding structure, current financial position and assuming no major disruptions or significant decrease in demand for cargo flow, there is insignificant risk that Eimskip's loan covenants will be breached. Eimskip has good liquidity headroom with positive short-term outlook. Currently, Eimskip is not fully utilizing its revolving credit facilities and in Q1 Eimskip completed extending such facilities to be able to meet any future setbacks in its operations due to COVID-19.

14. Shareholder distributions

Dividend payment

The Annual General Meeting of Eimskip approved on 25 March 2021 a dividend payment of ISK 2.47 per share to shareholders. The dividend payment amounted to ISK 446.7 million or EUR 3.0 million. The payment date was 15 April 2021.

Reduction of treasury shares in relation to previous share buy back programs

The reduction of treasury shares was executed on April 7th. The Company's treasury shares were reduced by ISK 6,100,000, or from ISK 187,000,000 to ISK 180,900,000 nominal value.

Reduction of share capital with a payment to shareholders

The share capital reduction with a payment to shareholders consisted of a share capital reduction of 5,700,000 million shares or from 180,900,000 to 175,200,000 issued shares with a payment to shareholders in the amount of ISK 1,675.0 million or EUR 11.2 million. The payment date was 30 April 2021.

Subsequent to the shareholder distributions above share capital is ISK 175,200,000 and each share is divided into one ISK. Treasury shares are ISK 32,757 and outstanding shares are ISK 175,167,243. Prior to the reduction in treasury shares they amounted to 3.28% of total issued shares, but is after the reduction 0.00018% of total issued share capital.
