CURRENT TRENDS IN GLOBAL CONTAINER SHIPPING MARKETS

The Suez accident put even more pressure on rates

  • The rates began to reduce after the Chinese New Year but the Ever Given accident in Suez pushed the European - Asian rates up again
  • Still lack of vessel space and containers
  • Back-log due to Suez accident still being sorted out in Europe and Asia
  • In Europe, Brexit has had a negative effect on feeder vessel capacity and containers with terminal congestions
  • Lack of vessel- and container capacity is expected to continue
  • Increased workload both for shipping lines and forwarders due to cancelation, re-bookings and lack of equipment
  • Bookings with short notice almost impossible in many trades with no available slots
  • Vessel charter markets continue to be steep
  • Rates are still increasing with >200% increase YoY
  • Charter periods increases with 2 years fixtures being the normal
  • Number of available vessels are decreasing with very low number of fixtures in April compared to previous years
  • Newbuilding orders increased substantially in Q1 2021 being the highest for many years

OUTLOOK

OUTLOOK

CURRENT QUARTER

  • Good volume so far in liner services following a good end of first quarter
  • Export from Iceland benefitting e.g. from capelin season
  • Import to Iceland benefitting from increased optimism and expectations towards tourism and investments
  • Strong volume in Trans-Atlantic transportation – benefitting from disruption in global shipping markets affecting capacity and availability of equipment

  • Continued focus on performance of the container liner e.g. through revenue management

  • Increased rates in new vessel charter agreements due to market condition in the global shipping industry

  • Forwarding services continue to perform well

  • Iceland Domestic in line with expectations

  • Preparing employees for returning to “new normal” after extended period of COVID working conditions

  • Continued implementation of various ESG policies approved in the last few months e.g. Whistleblower Policy, Anti-Money Laundering Policy, Procurement Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct

OUTLOOK

  • Global trends and disruptions in container shipping markets putting pressure on volume and prices in forwarding and pre- and on-carriage in liner services

  • Fairly optimistic about the volume for the coming quarters in Iceland on back of e.g. expectations towards the tourism industry and investments

  • Continued focus on increasing profitability of container liner through revenue- and cost management

  • Secure customer retention in Trans-Atlantic services once the global shipping markets stabilize

  • EBITDA guidance for the year 2021 remains in the range of EUR 68 to 77m

  • Translates to EBIT of EUR 22 to 31m

  • Eimskip’s guidance for the year depends on several factors and is subject to uncertainties related to COVID-19, Brexit, development of freight rates & bunker prices, currency exchange rates, macroeconomic conditions in the countries Eimskip operates in and other external factors

Lease liabilities

img-17.jpeg
IFRS 16 - Impact on EBITDA

Q1

  • Leases of buildings account for majority of lease liabilities
  • Mostly long-term contracts
  • Vessel leases have proportionally larger effect on the Income Statement than on the Balance Sheet
  • Mostly short-term contracts or from 6 months up to 5 years
  • More rotation of vessels in the leased fleet leads to a lower lease liability
  • Expecting increase in vessel lease liabilities in the second quarter of 2021 due to recent trends in global time charter markets
  • IFRS 16 effect on EBITDA EUR 4.1m compared to EUR 4.0m in the same quarter last year
