Investor Presentation Q1 2020 Result Presentation Hamburg, 15 May 2020

Opening Remarks

1	Current situation	Personal health of all land based staff and seafarers remains our number one priority Q1 volumes and rates in line with expectation, but first clearer effects on volumes can already be seen in Q2 We have launched a Performance Safeguarding Program (PSP) including various cost measures
2	Financials	Solid operational performance in Q1 with only minor COVID-19 related effects IMO 2020 related higher bunker consumption prices and bunker stock devaluation weigh on earnings Due to the above, EBITDA 7% below previous year at USD 517 m; Free Cash Flow remains clearly positive
3	Market update	Demand situation remains highly fluid and uncertain, with further downgrades possible New orders remain limited and sharp increase in idle fleet reflects scrubber retrofits & extended void sailings Significant additional capacity measures needed to adjust net available capacity to the lower demand in 2020e
4	Way forward	Earnings outlook substantiated under the assumption of a gradual recovery in the second half of the year Outlook is based on the year to date performance and subject to considerable uncertainty Focus on implementation and execution of the Performance Safeguarding Program Continue to roll-out and execute our Strategy 2023 to mitigate delays in implementation

1 Current situation

Good start to the year, but COVID-19 is increasingly affecting the shipping industry – magnitude and duration is difficult to assess

OUR TEAM

The safety of all of our employees is our number one priority – protective measures continue to remain in place
Majority of staff is working from home and master to deliver quality for our customers even under these difficult circumstances
Crisis committee meets every 2nd day (focus: status & actions)
Business continuity plans (BCP) regularly reviewed and available
Business continuity risk levels tracked actively

Q1 closed with a solid operational performance (EBIT of USD 176 m)
Volumes and average freight rate developed in line with our expectations in Q1, first effects for ex-Asia relations visible in March
Bunker prices highly fluctuating throughout the quarter – recently falling bunker prices resulted in a bunker stock devaluation of USD 64m
Based on the data we see today the exact impact and duration of the slowdown is very uncertain – We are expecting a negative impact on volumes from May onwards

OUR BUSINESS OUR ADDITIONAL MEASURES

Performance Safeguarding Program (PSP) launched which includes cost measures with positive cash impact across all categories
We have secured additional liquidity
Investment plans are being reevaluated
We on-hired equipment in Asia and Europe to secure sufficient availability of boxes
We keep track on the execution of our Strategy 2023 and gradually pickup the relevant projects again to mitigate delays as much as possible

Solid operational performance in Q1 with only minor COVID-19 related effects – results negatively impacted by bunker volatility

(6.4%)

Rate USD/TEU	1,094 (1,079)	Average freight rate increased by 1.4% YoY due to the MFR recovery mechanism and good revenue management	EBITDA USD m	517 (556)	EBITDA decline mainly driven by higher bunker consumption prices and bunker devaluation (USD -64 m) at the end of the quarter

Balance sheet			Financial KPIs
Assets USD m	18,630 (18,182)	Total assets increased by USD 448 m vs. 31.12 mainly due to RCF drawdown (USD 400 m) to secure an adequate cash position in the event of worsening market conditions	FCF USD m	302 (455)	Free Cash Flow clearly positive, YoY decrease mainly driven by higher working capital
Fin. Debt USD m	7,584 (7,180)	Increased by USD 405 m vs 31.12. almost entirely due to the use of revolving credit lines (USD 400 USD m)	Net debt / EBITDA	3.0x (3.0x)	Net Leverage remains unchanged as compared to year end 2019

Assets USD m	18,630 (18,182)	Total assets increased by USD 448 m vs. 31.12 mainly due to RCF drawdown (USD 400 m) to secure an adequate cash position in the event of worsening market conditions

Liquidity	1,215	Sufficient liquidity reserve of USD 1.2 bn available

(cash USD 1,030 m + reserve USD 185 m)

Return on Invested Capital turned out lower due to somewhat lower result compared to prior year

Good revenue development driven by higher volumes and rates – extraordinary charges weigh on Group profit

Q1 revenue above previous year's level as a result of higher transport volumes (+4.3%) and slightly higher freight rates (+1.4%)
Operational results (EBITDA and EBIT) impacted by higher bunker consumption prices (+23% or +98 USD/mt to 523 USD/mt)
Rapid drop in oil prices at the end of Q1 lead to an extraordinary charge of USD 64 m as bunker stocks had to be devalued to market value
Without the devaluation of bunker stocks, EBIT would have been roughly at previous year's level
Group profit additionally affected by devaluation of embedded bond option (USD -28 m) and interest swap valuation (USD -9 m)

Transport volume increased by 4.3% – Declining Far East trade more than offset by Latin America and Middle East trades

Transport volume development by trade [TTEU]

Freight rates increased by 1.4% YoY to 1,094 USD/TEU in Q1 2020, while average bunker price increased significantly by 23.0% YoY

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

Bunker expenses per unit rose by 40% driven by high bunker costs at the start of the year and a rapid price decline thereafter

Transport expenses per unit increased by 5.0% YoY, driven by higher bunker costs – ex bunker unit cost decreased by 1.2% YoY

Transport expenses per unit [USD/TEU]

"Handling and haulage" costs decreased due to less inland business and positive FX effects
Costs for "Equipment and repositioning" decreased due to positive FX effects as well as an improved imbalance situation and reduced repositioning costs in China
Costs for "Vessel and voyage" decreased due to an improvement in vessel utilization driven by a consequent capacity management.
This effect was partly offset by an increase in "D&A" mainly for chartered vessels due to a higher number of ships chartered on a medium-term basis

Interest burden clearly reduced – extraordinary valuation effects weigh on financial result

Extraordinary interest result items [USD m] HLAG Bond trading

Comments

Embedded bond options (early termination rights) lost value due to a temporary decline of bond price
Valuation of the UASC legacy interest rate swaps impacted result further due to base rate decline
Underlying financial result clearly improved

At USD 302 m, free cash flow was again clearly positive in Q1 2020 and liquidity reserve remained very solid at USD 1.2 bn

Cash flow Q1 2020 [USD m]

Unused credit lines Cash and cash equivalents

Net leverage remains unchanged at 3.0x, while cash and gross financial debt increased due to a USD 400 m draw down of RCF

Draw down of RCF (USD 400 m) as a precautionary measure has lead to an increase in gross financial debt and at the same time in cash as the funds raised were invested as overnight deposits with banks
Net debt decreased slightly due to positive free cash flow generation
Net leverage (based on LTM calculation) remained unchanged at 3.0x due to slightly decreased net debt and solid Q1 2020 results

The Corona Virus is heavily affecting the world's economy and therefore also the container shipping industry in 2020e

World Trade Volume vs. Global Container Volume Growth [%] The fallout from the COVID-19

outbreak can strongly be felt in 2020e GDP & container volume growth rates:
- IMF recently lowered its world trade volume forecast to -11.0% for 2020e
- Clarksons has recently downgraded its forecast for 2020e to -10.6%
- Situation remains highly fluid and uncertain, with further downgrades possible
Q1 mainly effected by virus outbreak in China, since March also other regions (like Europe & US) are heavily impacted
However, a solid recovery is currently expected for all trades in 2021

However, there are important differences to the 2008/2009 crisis – as we have today a record low orderbook and hardly any new orders…

…as we adjust capacity to the lower demand and…

Carrier capacity measures on major trades

Headhaul trade lane capacity & blank sailings on Far East

Headhaul trade lane capacity & blank sailings on Transpacific

Net capacity growth in 2020e

…will be ready to scale up again quickly when demand returns

Supply / Demand Balance

Performance Safeguarding Program (PSP) launched to protect against downside risk of COVID-19 and to safeguard earnings and liquidity

Cost savings

Substantial capacity measures taken in coordination with our THE Alliance partners in order to ensure adequate vessel utilization
Reduction of variable transport expenses and fixed costs (e.g. return of chartered ships, SG&A)
Savings in the range of a mid three-digit million USD figure expected

Investment prioritization

No commitments for vessel purchases
Postponement of growth and unnecessary maintenance investments
Continuous review going forward

Financial contingency

Draw-down of USD 400 m from RCF to secure liquidity in case of worsening market conditions
Further actions taken to enhance liquidity and secure necessary investments
Additional focus on working capital management

Government support

Evaluation of government support programs
Contingency plan in case of a prolonged recession
At the moment, no extraordinary government support needed as profitability and liquidity measures taken should safeguard financial stability

Financial contingency measures – Increase of available liquidity to USD ~1.9 bn

Available liquidity in May [USD m]

On top of the reported liquidity of USD ~1.2 bn, we have additional liquidity available in the amount of USD ~700 m (ABS program, committed JOL, vessel sale & lease back etc.)
In order to optimize our shortterm repayment profile we extended an existing credit facility in the amount of USD ~100 m initially due in June 2020 to December 2020
In parallel, the credit approval for a committed container investment financing is expected shortly

Earnings outlook substantiated – subject to considerable uncertainties due to COVID-19 pandemic

Outlook is subject to considerable uncertainty due to COVID-19 and based on the premise that the pandemic will peak in the second quarter and give way to a gradual recovery in the second half of the year
Transport volumes and average bunker consumption prices expected to be below previous year's level
EBITDA and EBIT outlook ranges remain unchanged
However, unless there is a recovery in demand for container transport services earlier and stronger than expected by market participants, the upper end of the forecast ranges is barely achievable from today's perspective

Our priorities for the coming months

Ensure the safety of our employees and fully support our customers to safeguard uninterrupted supply chains

Focus on implementation and execution of the Performance Safeguarding Program and successfully implement necessary capacity and cost cutting measures

Keep track on execution of our Strategy 2023 and gradually pick-up the relevant projects again to mitigate any delay in implementation to a maximum of 6 months

Continue to follow a conservative financial policy with clear focus on cash

Continuously monitor the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and adapt to evolving market conditions
