1) Operating loss: Earning before tax and restructuring costs.
The year 2009 was unique, not only for TransAtlantic, but for the entire global economy. The rapid deceleration of the global economy toward late 2008 and in early 2009 forced many companies to change their plans for expansion into cost reductions. For the shipping industry, which was swiftly impacted by the economic changes and is capital-intensive, these effects entailed a major shift in conditions. TransAtlantic was also impacted by this trend in 2009.
In the Industrial Shipping business area, volumes in some segments declined by 50% and freight rates are at one-third of the level they were at in 2007. However, at the same time, TransAtlantic has found that its strategy of employing a long-term approach is successful. We have noted that our customers are loyal and want to try to jointly identify new, cost-effi cient solutions. We also noted that demand for shipping transports increased in the fourth quarter. Freight rates also rose during the fourth quarter, due in part to the severe ice conditions in the Baltic and North Seas.
In the Offshore/Icebreaking business area, the fl uctuations were particularly strong compared with 2008, when record rates were noted. In 2009, all of the business area's vessels operated in the offshore spot market in the North Sea. A lower level of activity and a greater supply of offshore vessels led to a signifi cant decline in earnings compared with the preceding year.
Despite major efforts to identify new cargo, new service patterns and lower costs, the results for 2009 were unsatisfactory. Due to TransAtlantic's unfavorable results for 2009 and its current fi nancial position, the Board proposes that no dividend be paid for the 2009 fi scal year.
We believe that the market has stabilized and will slowly improve during 2010. Efforts to reduce our costs in all parts of the Group continue and I look confi dently toward coming year.
Stefan Eliasson Acting CEO
TransAtlantic offers customer intimate and cost effective shipping transports through a high-level of expertise, effi cient system and adapted tonnage.
TransAtlantic comprises of two business areas – Offshore/Icebreaking and Industrial Shipping. The Offshore/Icebreaking business are is based on combination vessels with long-term contracts and guaranteed revenues from icebreaking, in addition to other activities, mainly involving rig relocation in the offshore market. Industrial Shipping's operations focus on contract traffi c, primarily for basic industries in the Nordic region, but also for other international players.
TransAtlantics vision is to be the natural choise for customers in the segments in which the company operates.
TransAtlantic has four strategic, fi nancial goals:
Consolidated net revenue amounted to SEK 2,284 M (2,648). The 14% decline in revenue was attributable to lower volumes and lower freight rates. Compared with the preceding year, the items affecting comparability include:
The Group posted an operating loss of SEK 213 M for the full-year (283). Results in 2009 were charged with restructuring items, which comprised impairment of vessels of SEK 61 M (22) and personnel and other costs of SEK 2 M (9) related to restructuring.
The value of vessels are in todays situation more diffi cult to access than normal. The valuation of the Group's vessels have been using external values and impairmanttests. From these values, there is no need to further write-downs.
The loss before taxes amounted to SEK 276 M (259). The net loss after full tax was SEK 221 M (266).

These operations are conducted through the Norwegian joint venture company TransViking Icebreaking & Offshore AS, in which TransAtlantic owns 50 % and Kistefos AS owns 50 % each.
The previously announced demerger of Trans Viking will not be completed in the current year, because both companies believes that the prevailing conditions are unfavorable.
The business area's vessels operated on the spot market in the North Sea essentially during the entire period.
The market continued to weaken during the fourth quarter due to a seasonal decline in activity and more vessels entering the market.
The business area's efforts to identify longer contracts resulted in the Tor Viking vessel being chartered for two years to the US oil company, Shell, beginning in May 2010. The business area have also sign a long-term contract for Balder- and Vidar Viking and also for the newbuilding vessel, Loke Viking.
The building of another four AHTS vessels is proceeding as planned, although the fi rst vessel, Loke Viking, will be delayed by about fi ve months due to delivery delays from the Spanish shipyard's subcontractors. Loke Viking will be delivered in May 2010 and the second vessel, Njord Viking, will be delivered by mid-November.
The business area posted an operating loss of SEK 21 M (101) for October-December.
| October–December | Full-year | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Off shore /Icebreaking | 2009 | 2008 | 2009 | 2008 |
| Net revenue | 18 | 153 | 125 | 402 |
| Loss after net fi nancial items | –21 | 101 | –25 | 233 |
| Profi t margin | –116.7% | 66.0% | –20.0% | 58.0% |
The business area conducts system traffi c in the Baltic Sea with RoRo and container vessels (RoRo Baltic Division), container-based scheduled service operations between Sweden and the UK (Container Division) and contract-based bulk transport in the Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea and North Sea (Bulk/LoLo Division), as well as RoRo traffi c across the Atlantic and with side-port vessels traffi c along the USEC (Atlantic Division).
In the RoRo Baltic Division, which connects ports in the Gulf of Bothnia with Lübeck and Gothenburg, the TransLumi line continued to experience favorable load availability. The volumes were comparable with 2008 cargo volumes. In addition to the usual fl ow of cargo, projectloads to the mining industry increased.
RoRo traffi c between Kotka–Gothenburg and Lübeck, which was launched at the beginning of the year 08/09 had an increase in third-party loads and new customers have also been added. Volvo shipped more cars from Gothenburg to Kotka than in the third quarter, although the return loads from Kotka decreased.
TransFeeder North, the container line that carrying overseas containers from the ports in the Gulf of Bothnia to Hamburg and Bremerhaven experienced volume growth during the fourth quarter when stainless steel exports increased.
The Container Division conducts several operations, of which scheduled services to the UK (TransPal Line) and feeder traffi c with the accompanying freight-forwarding contracts (TransFeeder South) are the most important. At TransPal Line, an increase in volume was noted during the quarter, primarily as a result of a recovery in the steel industry, although other commodities also increased. An intense marketing effort generated several new customers for the line, in the UK and in Sweden. Earnings improved during the fourth quarter, despite certain operational disruptions caused by delays resulting from weather and tidal problems.
In the TransFeeder South segment, the challenging market scenario continued, primarily due to the fi nancial situation of maritime shipping companies with continued pressure on freight rates. This was partially offset by favorable freight-forwarding contracts and large project loads. Forward-shipping assignments increased during the fourth quarter.
In the Bulk/Lolo Division, the fourth quarter was strong, with increased load volumes for small and large bulk tonnage in the fl eet. Freight rates were also strengthened somewhat, although the anticipated winter market with higher rates did not materialize to the expected extent. At the end of December, the chartered Weston vessel was also returned.
In the Atlantic Division, west and eastbound volumes across the Atlantic were weak during the period as a result of excess production in the market, which led to major inventories of newsprint in terminals in the US and Northern Europe. Due to the low freight volumes, only two of the vessels were operated during the quarter. The third vessel was leased on TC basis during the period and was also operated in the spot market.
Quantities in the USEC (US East Coast) traffi c remained low due to reduced demand for newsprint, large inventories and excess production. One of the vessels was partially laid-up awaiting cargo.
The situation with Abitibi/Bowaters' Chapter 11 had an unfavorable impact on volumes from Canada to Europe and the Caribbean during the period.
The Map and Oak vessels remain laid up awaiting cargo.
The business area posted an operating loss of SEK 39 M (loss 20) for October-December.

The central Group organizon comprises management, as well as central adminstration, fi nance management and Ship Management. Apart from TransAtlantic's fl eet, the Ship Management includes assignments from external vessel owners. These are responsible for all operating costs, and TransAtlantic invoices actural operating expenses incurred and fees for operating the external vessels. The primary reason for accepting external assingments is to achieve ecominies of scale for shipboard employees and for purchases undertaken for the Group's fl eet of vessel.
The increase in net revenue during the year, compared with the preceding year, was attributable to a new manning assignment secured by TransAtlantic in June 2008, which comprises operating and manning the Swedish Government's icebreakers.
For the full-year, Group organization/Ship Management posted a loss of SEK 48 M (loss: 31). Earnings for the year were adversely affected by lower returns on cash and cash equivalents and costs related to CEO-change.

The Parent Company's sales and totals assets increased compared with the preceding year, primarily as a result of the newly launched TransSoumi Line and because other cargo operations, which were previously conducted through subsidiaries, were transferred to the Parent Company.
The Parent Company posted a loss before tax of SEK 193 M (profi t: 211). The loss after tax was SEK 146 M (profi t: 219). The difference between the two years with respect to results before tax was largely due to dividends that were received from subsidiaries of SEK 34 M (263) and impairment of shares in subsidiaries of SEK 57 M (impairment: 20). The Parent Company's equity amounted to SEK 683 M (952) and total assets were SEK 1,252 M (1,297). The equity/assets ratio at the closing date was 55% (74). Liquidity at year-end was SEK 73 M (222).
In accordance with an authorization from the Annual Meeting in April 2009, the company acquired 200,000 Series B shares during the second quarter of 2009, or 0,7% of the toal number of shares, at an average price of SEK 28,50 per share. No share repurchases took place during the four quarter.
The total number of shares held in treasury by the company amounted to 704,800 Series B shares as of December 2009, of which 504,800 Series B shares were repurchased in 2007.

| Series B shares in the market | 25,907,714 |
In additon, there are 1 817 960 A-shares.
Den generel situation for the Group's current structure is that taxes payable are highly limited. Accordingly, reported corporate tax mainly comprises deferred tax.
The recognized, deferred tax liablity for Swedish operations amounted to SEK 87 M at December 2009 (SEK 164 M at December 31, 2008).
No signifi cant transactions or changes in relationships took place between TransAtlantic or the Parent Company and closely related parties during the period.
At December 31, 2009 the TransAtlantic Group had 1,093 employees, compared with 1,058 at year-end 2008.
TransAtlantic is a groupcharacterized by a high degree of international operations, thereby exposing it to a number of operational and fi nancial risks. TransAtlantic works actively to identify and manage these risks, and risk management is included as an element of the ongoing reviews of the operations. It has been deemend that no further key risks and uncertainties have arisen in additon to those risks and uncertainties described in TransAtlantic's Annual Report for 2008.
Due to the year's unfavorable profi tability, the company has held discussions with the affected banks regarding fi nancing terms and conditions. These discussions have been partially concluded.
This interim report was prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and with the application of IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and in accordance with the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2.2 Accounting for Legal Entities. Unless otherwise noted, the same accounting principles and calculation bases for both the Group and Parent Company have been applied as those used in the most recent Annual Report.
As of 2009, TransAtlantic applies IFRS 8 Operation Segments in the reporting of operating divisions. The implementation of IFRS 8 has not entailed a change in the number of reported operating segments. The revised IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements has been applied since January 1, 2009. The revision affected TransAtlantic's reporting retroactively from December 31, 2007. The revision means that revenues and expenses that were previously recognized directly against shareholders' equity are currently recognized in a separate report, other comprehensive income, directly following the earnings report.
TransAtlantic prevailed in the public tender pertaining to the technical operations and staffi ng of the Swedish Government's fi ve icebreakers. The agreement is valid until 2015.
Two of TransAtlantic's combined AHTS vessels Tor Viking and Balder Viking were dispatched by Swedish Maritime Administration in early February for icebreaking in the Baltic Sea.
TransAtlantic signed a two-year contract with the oil company Shell for one of the AHTS vessels, Tor Viking. Tor Viking was chartered for Arctic offshore operations in the ocean off Alaska. The assignment will apply from May 2010.
TransAtlantic has through its joint venture company, Trans Viking signed a contract with the English company Capricorn Energy Ltd. The operation extends over a four month period.
Detailed information regarding the aforementioned events is available at www.rabt.se.
On February 11, 2010, a judgment was passed down by the Oslo County Court ruling that the admission tax that was charged by the Norwegian Government in 2007 in conjunction with entry into the new Norwegian tonnage tax was invalid. TransAtlantic was charged a total of SEK 65 M in conjunction with entry into the tonnage tax. The implications of this judgment for TransAtlantic remain unclear.
Due to the exceptional diffi culties in assessing the trend, the Group is not providing a forecast for the 2010 fi scal year.
The Board proposes that no dividend be paid for the 2009 fi scal year (SEK 2,50).
Rederi AB TransAtlantic's Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at 4:00 pm at the Nordic Watercolour Museum in Skärhamn.
