FREIGHT RATE [USD/TEU] VS. BUNKER PRICE DEVELOPMENT [USD/MT]


13
Unit costs continued to increase due to significantly higher bunker prices, congestion and higher vessel charter rates
TRANSPORT EXPENSES PER UNIT [USD/TEU]

- "Bunker" expenses (+71%) increased on the back of higher average bunker consumption prices
- "Handling and Haulage" (+12%) and "Equipment and Repositioning" (+17%) expenses were up due to higher storage and hinterland transportation costs
- "Vessels and voyage" expenses (+14%) increased due to rise in percentage of ships chartered in on a medium-term basis and the resulting operating expenses
- "Depreciation and amortization" expenses (+23%) were up primarily due to the rise in the percentage of vessels chartered in on a mediumterm basis at simultaneously higher charter rates and the resulting increase in right of use

Strong cash generation in 9M 2022, leading to a free cash flow of USD 14.3 bn – Liquidity reserve now at 15.5 USD bn

LIQUIDITY RESERVE [USD m]

EQUITY [USD m] NET CASH [USD m]1)

COMMENTS
- Equity increased substantially due to high profitability level
- Equity ratio now at ~69%
- Financial debt was slightly reduced while net cash position increased clearly
- Time deposits of USD 785m with a duration above 3 months are recognized under "other current assets" and hence not included in liquidity reserve

4 Way Forward
Orderbook activity slowed down – New capacity inflow will likely exceed demand in the next quarters

FY 2022 earnings outlook confirmed – Softening freight rate environment will impact profitability in fourth quarter as expected
| FY 2021 |
FY 2022 Outlook |
|
|---|---|---|
| Transport volume | 11,872 TTEU | On previous year's level1 |
| Bunker con sumption price |
475 USD/mt | Increasing clearly |
| Freight rate | 2,003 USD/TEU | Increasing clearly |
| EBITDA | 12,842 USD m | USD 19.5 – 21.5 bn EUR 18.2 – 20.1 bn |
| EBIT | 11,111 USD m | USD 17.5 – 19.5 bn EUR 16.3 – 18.2 bn |
- Strong operational performance in 9M 2022 was in-line with updated expectations on 28 July 2022
- Based on current business performance, the fourth quarter results should also meet expectations
- The Executive Board of Hapag-Lloyd AG therefore confirms its earnings outlook for the current financial year
- However, transport volume is now expected to be on previous year's level (Previously: slightly increasing)

4 Way Forward
Our focus going forward:
Focus on service quality and customer satisfaction
Continuously adapt to evolving market conditions
Focus on cost control and maintain a prudent financial policy
Invest in fleet to further increase efficiency and strengthen efforts on sustainability and decarbonization
Consider further selective investment opportunities and focus on terminal development strategy
Take care of our people and invest in their capabilities
