Hapag-Lloyd is introducing a Marine Fuel Recovery mechanism

Hapag-Lloyd is simplifying its rate structure and will replace all existing fuel charges with a new Marine Fuel Recovery (MFR) mechanism

• Marine Fuel Recovery Mechanism will be gradually implemented from 1 January 2019
• It is causal, transparent and easy-to-understand
• It helps our customers predict and plan the price increases for their trade routes
• The MFR aiming at recovering costs arising from stricter sulphur regulation (IMO 2020)
• The calculation is based on average market data

2 Sector Update

Container shipping volume expected to grow on a healthy level of 4% to 5% between 2018E and 2020E, but geopolitical risks rise

2 Sector Update

Very low scrapping pushes supply in 2018E, but mid-term supply/demand balance is further improving

Comments

• Drewry has revised its forecast for net capacity growth in 2018 again. Market analysts now expects scrapping at a rate of 0.3% of the current world fleet. Slippage remained unchanged.
• For 2020e, up to TEU 0.8 m out of TEU 1.7 m scheduled deliveries are not yet reflected in the current order book of TEU 2.4 m. To be delivered in 2020, vessels will have to be ordered in Q4 2018 or beginning of Q1 2019 latest in order to arrive at Drewry delivery estimates.

Note: UASC's Ltd. and its subsidiaries have been included in the figures from the date control was transferred on 24 May 2017. The key figures used are therefore only comparable with the previous year to a limited extent. USD figures as stated in the Investor Report 9M 2018 1) For 2018, local revenues were included in the calculation of freight rates. Previous year's figures adjusted accordingly. 2) Due to retrospective application of the provisions for designated options, previous year's figures have been adjusted.

EBIT positively affected by an extraordinary income of USD 15 m

Comments

• Gain from the measurement of an investment at fair value as at 30 September 2018 led to an increase in EBITDA and EBIT of USD 15 m
• This measurement had a positive effect of USD 12 m on the other financial result
• Furthermore, an increase of USD 3 m was recognized in other operating income due to a release of provision related to the minority stake

12

Continuously good transport volume growth of 26.6% YoY due to UASC merger – pro-forma transport volume grew by 5.5% YoY

13

On a pro-forma basis freight rates have increased by 1.4% YoY, average bunker consumption price increased sharply by 30.5% YoY

Freight rate [USD/TEU] vs. Bunker price development [USD/mt]

Note: Due to the inclusion of UASC in the Hapag-Lloyd Group from the first-time consolidation date of 24 May 2017, figures provided can only be compared with those of the previous year to a limited extent. The figures for the first quarter of 2017 relate to Hapag-Lloyd only and do not include the UASC Group. For the financial year 2018, local revenues were included in the calculation of freight rates. The previous year's figures have been adjusted accordingly. 1) Assuming UASC Group has been included since 1 January 2016

14

Higher expenses for raw materials and supplies were offset by costcutting programs and synergies from the UASC integration

Transport expenses per TEU [USD/TEU]1)

Note: UASC's Ltd. and its subsidiaries have been included in the figures from the date control was transferred on 24 May 2017. The key figures used are therefore only comparable with the previous year to a limited extent. Rounding differences may occur. 1) Cost of purchased services 9M 2018: 766 USD/TEU 2) Mainly explained by currency effects

Good free cash flow of USD 650 m in 9M 2018 driven by a high cash conversion and limited investment needs

Geopolitical risk rises mainly due to conflicts between major economic players

Volume Development of Main Trade Lanes

Atlantic Trade:

• US imposed tariffs on steel and aluminium less than 3% of total container trade from EU to US is affected2)
• Retaliatory tariffs from the EU less than 6% of total container trade from US to EU is affected2)
• Ongoing negotiations between US and EU

Transpacific Trade:

• US imposed tariffs on USD 250 bn of Chinese products1) up to 70% of total container trade from CN to US affected2)
• Retaliatory tariffs from China worth USD 110 bn up to 87% of total container trade from US to CN affected2)
• Negotiations are continuing between China and US

Currently around 7% of total world container trade (TEU 146m in 2018e) currently affected by tariffs – going forward remains to be seen

Freight rates are recovering slowly
