Alternative performance measures

To supplement Vopak's financial information presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU), management periodically uses certain alternative performance measures (APMs), as such term is defined by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and future outlook. APMs are financial measures of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework.

The APMs presented exclude certain significant items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations. We believe that these APMs provide investors with additional insight into the company's ongoing business performance. These APMs should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related IFRS measures.

In this report Vopak provides alternative performance measures, including EBITDA -excluding exceptional items-, net profit / (loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares -excluding exceptional items-, EPS -excluding exceptional items-, proportional revenues -excluding exceptional items-, proportional EBITDA -excluding exceptional items-, proportional operating cash return, net interest-bearing debt, Total net debt, Total net debt : EBITDA, Senior net debt : EBITDA, proportional operating cash flow.

Financial review

Operating results

Revenues

In the first half year of 2024, Vopak generated revenues of EUR 653.7 million, compared to EUR 720.8 million in the first half year of 2023. Adjusted for divestment impacts of chemical distribution terminals in Rotterdam and Savannah and currency translation effects of EUR 86.5 million and EUR 4.2 million respectively, the resulting increase was EUR 23.6 million (3.7%). The positive performance was driven by favorable storage demand across different geographies and markets and the contribution from growth projects.

No exceptional items were reported in either years in the revenue line.

The average occupancy rate for Vopak's subsidiaries (i.e. excluding joint ventures and associates) for the first half year of 2024 was 92% compared to 91% in the first half year of 2023.

Vopak's worldwide storage capacity decreased by 0.5 million cbm from 35.2 million cbm at the end of December 2023 to 34.7 million cbm at the end of June 2024 mainly reflecting the effect of a reduction of the base capacity in Europoort in line with the previously announced ambition to gradually reduce oil capacity in Europoort to accelerate towards new energies and sustainable feedstocks, and the divestment of the Lanshan terminal in China.

Other operating income

Other operating income -excluding exceptional items- was EUR 28.6 million compared to EUR 20.1 million in the first half year of 2023. Excluding negative currency translation effects and divestment impacts of EUR 3.0 million and an unconditional success fee related to positive FID taken on our new LPG terminal in Canada (EUR 6.8 million) in 2024, the resulting increase was EUR 4.7 million (27.5%).

In the first half of 2024, an exceptional gain of EUR 4.3 million was recorded arising from Vopak's divestment of the Lanshan terminal in BU China and North Asia.

In the first half of 2023, an exceptional gain of EUR 48.7 million was recorded resulting from the divestment of Vopak's US terminal Savannah (EUR 49.7 million) partially offset by the revision of a receivable originating from the divestment of Vopak Terminal Hamburg in 2019 (EUR 1.0 million).

Other operating income -including exceptional items- was EUR 32.9 million in the first half of 2024 against EUR 68.8 million in the first half of 2023.

Expenses

Operating expenses -excluding exceptional items- decreased by EUR 31.3 million (9.0%) to EUR 318.2 million (HY1 2023: EUR 349.5 million). Excluding positive currency translation effects of EUR 1.5 million, and positive divestment impacts of EUR 46.7 million, operating expenses increased by EUR 16.9 million. The increase is mainly related to increased personnel and other operating expenses partly offset by a decrease in energy costs.

In 2024, the remeasurement of the net earn out payables, related to AVTL joint venture in India, resulted in an increase of payables and an exceptional charge of EUR 6.9 million reported in 'Other operating expenses' as part of the Business Unit Asia & Middle East. In the first half of 2023, an exceptional loss for a restructuring provision of EUR 2.5 million was recorded following the announced change in management and governance structure to align with the Shaping the Future strategy.

Including exceptional items, total expenses in the first half of 2024 were EUR 325.1 million compared to EUR 352.0 million in the first half of 2023.

Result joint ventures and associates

In the first half of 2024, the result of joint ventures and associates -excluding exceptional items- was EUR 123.0 million, an increase of EUR 20.2 million (19.6%) compared to EUR 102.8 million in the first half of 2023. Excluding negative currency translation effects of EUR 1.5 million, results increased by EUR 21.7 million (21.4%). The increase is mainly driven by a deferred income tax release in our joint venture in Pakistan of EUR 10.2 million. No exceptional results were recorded in both years.

Impairments

In the first half year of 2024, a cash-generating unit impairment was recognized in the amount of EUR 10.1 million in relation to the Ningbo terminal in China. Plans for taking out terminal capacity to position for future developments in the infrastructure landscape of the Zhenhai port resulted in the CGU's carrying amount exceeding its value in use leading to an impairment.

There were no (reversal of) impairments recorded in the first half year of 2023.

Group operating profit / (loss) before depreciation and amortization

Group operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) -excluding exceptional items- and including the net result of joint ventures and associates, decreased by EUR 7.1 million (1.4%) to EUR 487.1 million (HY1 2023: EUR 494.2 million). Excluding negative currency translation effects of EUR 4.5 million, and divestment impacts of EUR 42.6 million, EBITDA -excluding exceptional itemsincreased by EUR 40.0 million.

The increase was driven by favorable storage demand across the various markets and geographies and positive growth project contribution, which includes a unconditional success fee related to positive FID taken on our new LPG terminal in Canada of EUR 6.8 million and a deferred income tax release in our joint venture in Pakistan of EUR 10.2 million.

Including exceptional items, in the first half of 2024 a Group operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of EUR 474.4 million was reported compared to EUR 540.4 million in HY1 2023.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization charges were EUR 150.2 million, which was EUR 11.9 million (7.3%) lower than the first half year of 2023 (HY1 2023: EUR 162.1 million). The decrease is largely driven by divestment impacts of chemical distribution terminals in Rotterdam and Savannah, which contributed EUR 20.5 million.

Group operating profit / (loss)

Group operating profit (EBIT) -excluding exceptional items- was EUR 336.9 million, an increase of EUR 4.8 million (1.4%) compared to EUR 332.1 million in the same period of 2023. Excluding negative translation effects of EUR 3.5 million, Group operating profit increased by EUR 8.3 million.

Including exceptional items, for HY1 2024 a Group operating profit of EUR 324.2 million was recorded compared to EUR 378.3 million in HY1 2023.

Proportional operating cash flow in HY1 2024 increased by EUR 31.4 million (7.6%) to EUR 446.8 million (HY1 2023 EUR 415.4 million) driven mainly by lower proportional operating capex (EUR 34.0 million). Proportional operating cash return in HY1 2024 was 16.7% compared to 14.6% in HY1 2023. The increase was mainly due to a lower average capital employed due to divestments and positive contribution from new growth projects.

Cash flows from operating activities and working capital

Cash flows from operating activities (gross) were EUR 517.9 million in the first half of 2024 (HY1 2023: EUR 477.8 million). The increase was related mainly to higher dividend receipts from joint ventures and associates (EUR 84.7 million) partly offset by lower EBITDA due to divestment impacts and derivatives settlements.

Strategic investments and divestments

Cash flows from investing activities

Total cash flows from investing activities (including derivatives) for the first half year of 2024 amounted to a net cash outflow of EUR 264.3 million (HY1 2023: net cash outflow of EUR 26.0 million).

Total investments amount to EUR 320.6 million (HY1 2023: EUR 236.8 million). An amount of EUR 140.3 million was invested in property, plant and equipment (HY1 2023: EUR 193.2 million). Investments in joint ventures and associates as well as other equity investments were EUR 56.7 million (HY1 2023: EUR 17.5 million).

Payments for acquisitions of EUR 59.7 million (HY1 2023: EUR 17.6 million) consisted of EUR 20.2 million net earn out payables settlement related to AVTL joint venture in India and EUR 39.5 million settlement of the provisional deferred purchase consideration for EemsEnergy Terminal B.V. (EET) joint venture.

Vopak continued to invest in the growth of its global terminal portfolio and growth investments in HY1 2024 were EUR 188.5 million (HY1 2023: EUR 110.0 million), including growth projects across multiple business units with BU USA & Canada and BU Netherlands being the largest.

Consolidated growth capex outlook for FY 2024 is updated to around EUR 350 million compared to the prior outlook of EUR 300 million. This is subject to currency exchange movements, additional discretionary decisions, policy changes and the regulatory environment. This outlook is in line with Vopak's long-term commitment to invest EUR 1 billion in industrial and gas terminals by 2030 and EUR 1 billion in new energies and sustainable feedstocks. The allocation of these investments will be through existing committed and new business development projects.

Capital Structure

Equity

The equity attributable to holders of ordinary shares decreased by EUR 141.5 million to EUR 3,081.7 million (31 December 2023: EUR 3,223.2 million). The decrease mainly resulted from the share buyback program (EUR 191.0 million) and EUR 183.5 million dividends paid in cash (EUR 1.50 per ordinary share with a nominal value of EUR 0.50), partially offset by the net profit of EUR 212.5 million for the period.

Debt

The Group's net interest-bearing debt (including lease liabilities) position at 30 June 2024 was EUR 2,571.6 million (31 December 2023: EUR 2,286.4 million). On 20 June 2024, Vopak extended its Sustainability Linked Revolving Credit Facility of EUR 1 billion by one additional year, based on existing terms and conditions. The new maturity date of the RCF is 20 June 2029.

Total net debt: EBITDA ratio increased to 2.28 compared to 1.99 per year-end 2023, which is well below the maximum agreed ratios in the covenants with the lenders. The increase was mainly driven by dividends paid to shareholders in May and the share buyback program.

Net finance costs

In the first half of 2024, the Group's net finance costs were EUR 45.8 million (HY1 2023: EUR 66.3 million). The decrease is mainly resulting from a lower net interest-bearing debt resulting from proceeds received from the divestment of the chemical terminals in the Netherlands in HY1 2024 compared to HY1 2023. The average interest rate over the reporting period, excluding lease liabilities and including the effect of hedge accounting, was 4.1% (HY1 2023: 4.1%).

Cash flows from financing activities

The cash outflow from financing activities was EUR 345.6 million (HY1 2023: outflow of EUR 374.7 million). This amount consisted of net proceeds of interest-bearing loans and short-term financing of EUR 157.3 million and dividend payments of EUR 183.5 million to ordinary shareholders, dividend payments of EUR 20.4 million to non-controlling interests, purchased treasury shares under share buyback program of EUR 191.0 million, finance costs payments of EUR 46.8 million, lease payments of EUR 28.8 million offset by settlement of derivative financial instruments of EUR 32.4 million.

Income taxes

Income tax expense -excluding exceptional items- for the first half year of 2024 was EUR 42.7 million, compared to EUR 39.9 million in the first half of 2023. The effective tax rate -excluding exceptional items- for the first half year of 2024 was 14.7% compared to 15.0% in HY1 2023.

The effective tax rate -including exceptional items- for the first half year of 2024 was 15.3% compared to 22.0% in HY1 2023. This resulted from the fact that in the first half-year of 2023, state and federal tax charges of EUR 28.7 million were reported on the divestment of the Savannah terminal.

Net profit / (loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares

In the first six-month period of 2024 the net profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares -excluding exceptional items- increased by EUR 20.0 million (9.7%) to EUR 226.6 million from EUR 206.6 million in the same period of 2023.

Including exceptional items, net profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares was EUR 212.5 million, a decrease of EUR 11.6 million compared to EUR 224.1 million in the first half of 2023.

Earnings per ordinary share -excluding exceptional items- increased by 11.5% to EUR 1.84 (HY1 2023: EUR 1.65). The weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares was 123,117,796 for HY1 2024 (HY1 2023: 125,375,118).

Including exceptional items, the earnings per ordinary share decreased to EUR 1.73 (HY1 2023: EUR 1.79).

Joint ventures and associates

Joint ventures and associates are an important part of the Group for which equity accounting is applied. The effects of non-IFRS proportional consolidation on the interim statements of financial position and income of the Group are presented in Enclosure 1.

Investing in LPG infrastructure

In line with Vopak's strategy to grow in gas, Vopak and AltaGas have reached a positive final investment decision on the Ridley Island Energy Export Facility in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. This new world-class LPG and bulk liquids terminal, equipped with rail, logistics, and marine infrastructure, will strengthen Canada's position as a growing global energy exporter. This facility, leveraging the shortest shipping time to Northeast Asia, will enhance Canadian and Asia Pacific energy connectivity, providing Canadian producers with access to premium global markets.

Risks and risk management

Vopak's enterprise risk management program, which is coordinated by the Global Risk Committee, provides the Executive Board with a periodic and comprehensive understanding of the Group's principal risks and uncertainties, their development and the actions taken by management to mitigate these risks and uncertainties.

As part of the company's regular periodic risk management assessment, the Global Risk Committee has coordinated and monitored the risk management process during the first half of 2024. The outcome and conclusions of this process have been reported to and discussed with the Executive Board and subsequently discussed with the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.

Vopak recognizes strategic, operational, financial and compliance / regulatory risk categories, including risks related to sustainability reporting. Our principal risks and uncertainties have not changed from those disclosed within the 2023 Annual Report.

Reference is made to the Annual Report 2023, which describes in detail our risk management framework and the main risks per pillar of the Group's strategy that could adversely affect the achievement of the company's strategic objectives and our (future) operating results, cash flows and financial position.

Sustainability review

At Vopak, we are driving progress in sustainability through our ambitious, performance-driven approach, and our balanced roadmap focuses on care for environmental, social and governance topics. While safety remains our priority, we are also committed to supporting the transition to more sustainable and circular products of the future, as well as reducing our own environmental and carbon footprint.

Vopak has adopted a comprehensive approach to evaluate and disclose its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts that addresses both impact materiality and financial materiality. It considers the impacts, risks, and opportunities of the evolving sustainability landscape, assessing how these external factors affect Vopak and how our activities influence society and the environment.

Our upcoming annual report and sustainability roadmap will be centered around the outcome of the double materiality assessment and the disclosure requirements, as part of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

Environment

At Vopak, we are proactively working on minimizing our carbon footprint while simultaneously investing in the infrastructure necessary for a future powered by zeroand low-carbon energy. As part of our strategy to accelerate towards new energies and sustainable feedstocks, we are providing our customers access to infrastructure needed for the energy transition.

Vopak is taking measures to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in line with our ambition to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions by 30% by 2030 (compared with 2021) and be net-zero by 2050. Across all business units, we have developed and are currently implementing greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction roadmaps to meet our short- and mid-term targets.

The following lines of action support our journey towards net-zero:

  • Reduce GHG emissions through energy efficiency
  • Switch to renewable electricity where possible
  • Electrify our operations
  • Use cleaner fuels and new energies in our own operations

In the first six months of 2024, we managed to reduce our scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions by 15% compared to the first half year of 2023. This reduction was achieved through energy efficiency measures and the purchase of renewable electricity at numerous locations. We have also implemented a program of improvements at our terminals to further reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Our Total Injury Rate (TIR) and the Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) measures our personal safety performance. The half year 2024 TIR is below target with a TIR of 0.16 (versus target of 0.22) but slightly worse than our half year 2023 performance of 0.15. Similarly, Vopak's LTIR is worse in the first half of 2024 with a rate of 0.10 compared to 0.08 in the first half of 2023.

There was a positive shift in Vopak's Process Safety Event Rate (PSER) during HY1 2024, decreasing to a PSER of 0.07 from 0.14 in HY1 2023 and below our 2024 target of 0.10. As part of the mid-year performance analysis an in-depth assessment to identify areas for improvement is conducted in order to enhance overall safety measures.

We strive for a workforce that is diverse and includes people from different ethnicities, backgrounds and orientations. In HY1 2024, 77% (HY1 2023: 82%) of senior management in the business units and operating companies were of local origin. For the future, we aim to have at least 75% local employees in senior management in business units and operating companies. The percentage of women in senior management positions is 20.0% (HY1 2023: 20.4%). We are aiming to increase the proportion of women in senior roles to 25% by 2025.

Governance

Governance means adhering to the Vopak Values and Code of Conduct. We create value for all our stakeholders through the provision of safe and efficient storage and handling services, mitigation of climate impact on our assets and ensuring a living wage to all our employees. At the same time, we aspire to deliver a progressive dividend and establish attractive investment opportunities for our investors.

In our pursuit of ethical governance, we strive to ensure that all our entities uphold human rights and contribute to the realization of decent work for all. We believe in transparent reporting - not just around the progress we have made, but also the dilemmas we face in operating across a variety of jurisdictions, each with its diverse business environment and tax regimes.

Accelerate in CO infrastructure 2

Great progress has been made in the open access CO infrastructure project, CO next, in the port of Rotterdam. CO next aims to develop a liquid CO terminal at the Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam that can be used by customers not connected to a CO pipeline to ship liquid CO , which can be leveraged as part of the CCS chain. CO next is a partnership between Vopak, Gasunie, Shell and TotalEnergies and is connected to the Aramis-CCS project. The terminal is currently foreseen to commencing commercial operations in 2028, contributing to CO reduction efforts in Northwest Europe. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

General

Koninklijke Vopak N.V. ('Vopak') is a listed company registered in the Netherlands with activities in 23 countries. These interim consolidated financial statements for the first half year of 2024 contain the figures of the company and its subsidiaries (jointly referred to as the 'Group'), as well as the interests of the Group in joint ventures and associates.

The Executive Board approved these interim consolidated financial statements on 25 July 2024.

1 Basis of preparation

These interim consolidated financial statements for the six months period ended 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not contain all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.

1.1 New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

Several amendments apply for the first time in 2024, but do not have an impact on the interim consolidated financial statements of the Group as follows:

  • Supplier Finance Arrangements Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7
  • Amendments to IFRS 16: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
  • Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

Except for the adoption of the above amendments, the applied accounting principles adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in Vopak's 2023 Annual Report.

1.2 New standards not yet adopted by the Group

There are no new standards, amendments to existing standards or new IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on the Group.

1.3 Material accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these interim consolidated financial statements, the significant estimates and judgments made by management in applying the Group's material accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023, except for changes in judgments and estimates with regards to legal cases and other provisions (including contingent consideration and earn out payables).

There were no material changes in the facts and circumstances after year-end 2023 regarding certain legal cases and other provisions, other than disclosed in note 12.

2 Acquisitions and divestments

During the first half of 2024, the following earlier announced changes to the composition of the Vopak Group occurred:

Divestment of Vopak Terminal Shandong Lanshan

On 16 May 2024, Vopak completed the earlier announced divestment of its 60% shareholding in Vopak Terminals Shandong Lanshan Limited ("Lanshan"). The sale generated net cash proceeds of EUR 14.8 million. The reported exceptional gain of EUR 4.3 million was recognized in 'Other operating income' and substantially consists of recycling to profit and loss of currency translation gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income.

Vopak Energy Park Antwerp - completion purchase price allocation

In May 2024, Vopak completed the determination of the fair value of the consideration transferred for 100% of shares of Vopak Energy Park Antwerp N.V. ("VEPA") executed on 10 May 2023. This resulted in an increase of the consideration transferred of EUR 0.6 million and an corresponding increase in the Property plant and equipment right-of-use assets.

3 Financial risk management

The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies remain unchanged from those disclosed in Section 6 Financial risk management of the 2023 Annual Report.

The interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements.

3.1 Financial instruments

Set out in the following table is an overview of carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments held by the Group as at 30 June 2024.

Net at amortized cost - 2,099.5 - 2,160.5
Standby credit facility 917.2
Standby bank loans 339.0
Unrecognized financial instruments 1,256.2

Where available, fair value measurements are derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1). In the absence of such information, other observable inputs, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices), are used to estimate fair values (level 2). Level 3 is based on valuation techniques for which the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, almost all fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are level 2 fair values. There are no material level 1 or level 3 financial instruments. There were no material transfers between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements and no material transfers into or out of level 3 fair value measurement.

The disclosed fair value of the Private Placements, (revolving) credit facility and other long-term bank loans are measured by discounting the future cash flows using observable market interest information (level 2) as no similar instrument is available due to the specific profile of the instruments.

The fair value of interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts are determined by discounting the future cash flows using the applicable period-end yield curve (level 2).

There were no changes in valuation techniques used during the period.

3.2 Liquidity risk

The Group's total net interest-bearing debt (including lease liabilities) position at 30 June 2024 amounted to EUR 2,571.6 million (31 December 2023: EUR 2,286.4 million). Total net debt : EBITDA ratio increased to 2.28 compared to 1.99 per year-end 2023, which is well below the maximum agreed ratios in the covenants with the lenders. Reference is made to note 10 for details on bank covenants and financial ratio calculations.

First half year 2024

In the first half year of 2024 multiple exceptional items for an amount of EUR 12.7 million (expense) (HY1 2023: EUR 17.5 million (gain)) were recorded. These consisted of:

Divestment Vopak Terminal Shandong Lanshan

On 16 May 2024, Vopak completed the earlier announced divestment of its 60% shareholding in Vopak Terminals Shandong Lanshan Limited. The sale generated net cash proceeds of EUR 14.8 million. The reported exceptional gain of EUR 4.3 million was recognized in 'Other operating income' and substantially consists of recycling to profit and loss of currency translation gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income.

True up of net earn out payables related to AVTL joint venture in India

In June 2024, Vopak trued up net earn out payables. Cash outflow assumptions and timing of cash flows were amended. In the first half year EUR 20.2 million of net earn out payables were settled in cash and reported in the consolidated cash flow statement through the line 'Acquisitions of joint ventures and associates'. The remeasurement of the net earn out payables resulted in an increase of payables and an exceptional charge of EUR 6.9 million reported in 'Other operating expenses' as part of the Business Unit Asia & Middle East. The net earn out payables outstanding per the end of the reporting period amount to EUR 19.8 million (31 December 2023: EUR 32.6 million) have been reported in line 'Trade and other payables'.

Impairment Vopak Terminal Ningbo in China

Plans for taking out terminal capacity to position for future developments in the infrastructure landscape of the port resulted in the CGU's carrying amount to exceed its value in use leading to an impairment. In the first half of 2024, an exceptional impairment charge of EUR 10.1 million was recognized for the Ningbo cash-generating unit. The exceptional charge is reported in the Business unit China & North Asia and has been allocated to property, plant and equipment. See also note 6.

First half year 2023 Divestment Vopak Terminals Savannah

On 31 May 2023, Vopak completed the earlier announced divestment of its 100% shareholding in Vopak Terminals Savannah Inc. Proceeds net of transaction costs of EUR 95.8 million were received upon closing. As a result, an exceptional gain of EUR 21.0 million, net of an exceptional tax charge of EUR 28.7 million, was recognized.

Divestment Vopak Terminal Hamburg

Vopak revised a receivable originating from the divestment of Vopak Terminal Hamburg in 2019. An exceptional loss of EUR 1.0 million has been reported following certain receipts no longer being likely to occur.

Restructuring provision

During the second quarter of 2023, exceptional restructuring charges were incurred for EUR 2.5 million for changes in management structure in line with Vopak's Shaping the Future strategy. The change in the management structure was completed by October 2023. In the first half year, Vopak recognized exceptional charges of EUR 2.5 million. The full costs associated with the restructuring in 2023 exceeded the Exceptional Item threshold of EUR 10 million.

EemsEnergy Terminal B.V. (EET) - update provisional purchase price allocation

On 3 April 2024, Vopak paid EUR 39.5 million to Gasunie to settle the provisional deferred purchase consideration. This resulted in a downward adjustment of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of EET of EUR 3.1 million and corresponding decrease in the acquisition date fair value of the net assets acquired in the EET joint venture. The consideration transferred may still vary as a result of final purchase price adjustments under the transaction documents. The Group is still working on the notional purchase price allocation for this joint venture and expects to finalize this in the second half of 2024.

13 Related party disclosures

For the details on the nature of the Group's related parties, reference is made to section 7.3 in our 2023 Annual Report. No significant changes have occurred in the nature of our related party transactions, other than as mentioned below.

There were no other changes in arrangements with major shareholders in addition to the ones disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report and arrangement for Pillar 2 as per above. Besides the dividend distribution, no related party transactions have been entered into with the major shareholders during the first half of this year, other than the following:

  • Annual dividend distribution; and
  • OECD Pillar Two model rules (Pillar 2) apply to Vopak as Vopak both exceeds the annual revenue threshold of € 750 million and is included in the consolidation scope of HAL Trust. Pillar 2 defines HAL Holding N.V. ("HAL") on shareholding interests as the ultimate parent of Vopak. Consequently, the Pillar 2 tax position of Vopak may be influenced by the Pillar 2 tax position of HAL. Vopak and HAL have agreed on the principle that any Pillar 2 tax liability, which may arise at Vopak and which does exceed the Vopak Pillar 2 tax liability calculated on a stand-alone basis, will be compensated by HAL. •

No related party transactions, which might reasonably affect any decisions of the users of these interim consolidated financial statements, were entered into during the first half year of 2024.

In this disclosure, the joint ventures and associates and the subsidiaries with non-controlling interests are consolidated based on the economic ownership interests of the Group in these entities.

In the tables in this section, we provide the proportional financial information for the statement of income, the statement of financial position, and the segment information for each of our reportable segments. Where applicable, we show a reconciliation with our IFRS figures in order to create comparability with the proportional information.

Other information is based on the same principles as applied for the proportional financial information.
