KEY EVENTS FIRST HALF YEAR 2023 AND OUTLOOK

The figures discussed below are all based on the proportional consolidation method.

Additional information	June 30, 2023	December 31, 2022
Proportionate consolidation (in million USD)
Net financial debt/(cash)	-84.4	-105.2

Segment contribution to the consolidated operating result (EBIT)	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2022
Shipping	8.3	22.5
Infrastructure	23.2	5.6
Supporting services	-2.5	-4.1
Operating result (EBIT)	28.9	24.0

SHIPPING:

Proportionate consolidation - SHIPPING (In millions of USD)	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2022
Revenue	71.9	69.8
EBITDA	31.5	38.0
Operating result (EBIT)	8.3	22.5
Consolidated result after tax	-6.8	12.0

Revenue (including intersegment revenue) during the first six months of 2023 was USD 2.1 million higher than in the same period of 2022 mainly due to higher rates in all vessel types. The change in EBIT is further detailed in Note 21 of the HY report.

Time Charter Equivalent (in USD per day)	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2022
Midsize (100 pool points)	25,471	23,835
VLGC (Average)	39,496	31,594
Pressurized (Average)(3,500 m³)	7,546	6,880
Pressurized (Average)(5,000 m³)	9,020	8,725

Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGC)

The three VLGCs continue under their current employment. The VLGC market continues to perform well and prospects for the remainder of 2023 are positive.

Midsize Gas Carriers (MGC)

While 2022 was an eventful year for LPG and ammonia with increased freight and higher ton-mile, 2023 has seen a correction with reduced ammonia shipping demand, while LPG trade remained robust. Owners managed to keep MGC hire rates at good levels despite recent newbuilding deliveries.

In March 2023, the purchase option on another two 46,000 m³ Midsize LPG/ammonia carriers was lifted. The newly ordered vessels will be equipped with dual fuel propulsion and the contracts come with the possibility to have them ammonia fueled.

In August 2023, a long-term time charter (in) with extension and purchase options was concluded for four newbuild 40,000 m³ dual fuel vessels. Delivery of these vessels is scheduled for 2026 and 2027.

The LPG-carrier BASTOGNE was delivered to its new owners in February 2023.

Regulated information

Pressurized

The suppressed trade in petrochemical gases in Europe and in Asia in Q2 2023 led to a reduction in the shipping of petrochemical gases.

INFRASTRUCTURE:

Proportionate consolidation - INFRASTRUCTURE (In millions of USD)	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2022
Revenue	144.6	24.4
EBITDA	33.4	-4.4
Operating result (EBIT)	23.2	5.6
Consolidated result after tax	18.8	-7.0

The increase in revenue and EBIT in the first half-year of 2023 versus 2022 reflects the full impact of the employment of the FSRU EEMSHAVEN LNG and the LNGC EXCALIBUR as well as the engineering, procurement and conversion works for the CONGO LNG project with Eni. Revenue includes an adjustment that results from a change in the accounting (IFRS 15) of the CONGO LNG project, following new engineering, procurement and construction contracts entered with the customer. In application of this IFRS rule, both revenue and cost increase for first quarter by USD 29.9 million.

Floating LNG barges

FSRU EEMSHAVEN LNG is on hire to GASUNIE affiliate EemsEnergyTerminal. The FSRU has been running steadily at 300 MMscf per day on onshore power and utilizes recycled heating water from nearby industries, both of which significantly reduce its environmental impact.

LNG carrier EXCALIBUR is on hire to Eni Congo and is undergoing conversion to a floating storage unit (FSU) for use with the TANGO FLNG for its planned offshore LNG export terminal operations in Congo.

Engineering

Activity at EXMAR Offshore Houston (EOC) continues at high capacity in 2023. At DV Offshore, technical assistance and project support activities for offshore mooring and other installation generated a stable operating result.

SUPPORTING SERVICES:

Proportionate consolidation - SUPPORTING SERVICES (In millions of USD)	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2022
Revenue	35.0	11.1
EBITDA	-1.4	-3.7
Operating result (EBIT)	-2.5	-4.1
Consolidated result after tax	9.1	4.7

The increase in revenue at the Supporting Services segment is primarily due to the full consolidation of BEXCO following the acquisition of the remaining shares in the company in November 2022.
