The total income for the WWASA group based on the proportionate method was USD 448 million in the first quarter. This was slightly down from the fourth quarter of 2016. EBITDA ended at USD 79 million, up from USD 43 million in the previous quarter.
The first quarter of 2017 included a USD 9 million gain related to sale of a vessel to a joint venture, while the previous quarter included non-recurring provisions and expenses of USD 37 million. Adjusting for these non-recurring items, the EBITDA was down 12% quarter-on-quarter.
The total income from the ocean segment was USD 363 million in the first quarter, while EBITDA ended at USD 70 million. Adjusting for non-recurring items, EBITDA was down for the quarter.
The ocean operating entities transported 15.9 million cubic meters (CBM) of cargo in the first quarter, a 2% reduction quarter on quarter. The reduction was due to lower auto volumes, while H&H volumes experienced an increase.
Reduced volumes in the first quarter had a negative impact on revenue and operating profit. The cargo mix and rate pressure continued to be unfavourable.
Net bunker cost increased in the first quarter. This had a negative effect on operating profit due to a time lag in bunker compensation clauses.
The total income and EBITDA for the landbased segment were USD 93 million and USD 11 million respectively. This was a slight improvement from 2016 levels.
The positive development in the landbased segment continued, mainly driven by technical services.
Net financial expenses was USD 11 million for the quarter. Net interest expenses was USD 19 million, while net currency items were positive with USD 4 million.
The group recorded a tax expense of USD 3 million for the quarter.
Profit after minority interest amounted to USD 26 million, compared with a loss of USD 21 million in the previous quarter.
The total income for the WWASA group based on the equity method was USD 82 million in the first quarter, while EBITDA was USD 53 million. Both were up from the previous quarter due to non-recurring items.
Net profit was USD 26 million for the quarter, equivalent to earnings per share of USD 0.12.
Cash and cash equivalents and current financial investments in WWASA pre-merger was USD 271 million by end of the first quarter, a reduction from USD 283 million three months earlier.
Total cash and cash equivalents and current financial investments in joint ventures was USD 455 million by the end of the first quarter, of which USD 201 million was WWASA's premerger share. This was an increase from USD 400 million and USD 181 million respectively by the end of 2016.
WWASA pre-merger interest bearing debt was USD 1 267 million by the end of the first quarter, a USD 53 million reduction from USD 1 320 million by the end of 2016.
Interest bearing debt in joint ventures was USD 1 900 million by the end of the first quarter, of which USD 805 million was WWASA's premerger share. This was an increase of USD 100 million and USD 44 million respectively for the quarter, mainly due to new vessel financing.
Following the merger on 4 April (post quarter event), interest bearing debt increased with approximately USD 740 million in form of loans in Wallroll AB and USD 80 million in form of a new bond to Wallenius Lines AB.
Debt in joint ventures and Wallroll AB will be subject a fair value assessment as part of the merger accounts. The final merger balance including updated interest bearing debt for the new WWL group will be disclosed as part of the Q2'17 report.
WWASA pre-merger equity increased by USD 27 million during the quarter, to USD 1 462 million. This represented a book equity ratio of 50% based on the equity method.
On 4 April, 203 104 938 new shares was issued to Wallenius Lines AB as part of the merger consideration. Wallenius Lines AB sold 43 104 938 shares on 20 April, where after new shareholding in WWL ASA was as follows:
The post-merger balance including updated equity will be disclosed as part of the Q2'17 report.
The new WWL ASA board confirmed that no dividend will be proposed for the AGM for 2016
The new WWL ASA board has established the following new dividend policy:
"WWL ASA's objective is to provide shareholders with a competitive return over time through a combination of rising value for the WWL ASA share and payment of dividend to the shareholders.
The board targets a dividend which over time shall constitute between 30 and 50% of the company's profit after tax. When deciding the size of the dividend, the board will consider future capital requirements to ensure the implementation of its growth strategy as well as the need to ensure that the group's financial standing remains warrantable at all times.
Dividends will be declared in USD and paid out semi-annually."
In key markets, total light vehicle sales in the first quarter increased by 5% compared with the corresponding period last year. Sales rate for the first three months of 2017 indicated annual global sales of 95 million units.
Sales in the US lost momentum and were down both year over year and quarter on quarter. This followed a long period of consecutive growth.
Sales in Western Europe started the year with solid growth, but are expected to flatten out during 2017.
The Chinese auto market showed solid growth year over year. However, with tax incentives on domestic production the share of foreign cars is still low. Among foreign brands, Japanese brands are performing well.
The Russian auto market showed a positive sentiment and preliminary figures from Brazil may indicate growth albeit from low levels.
Japanese car export was down from the seasonally strong fourth quarter, with a 18% decrease quarter on quarter. However, export was up 1% year over year.
Car exports out of Korea saw the same decline in volumes and was similarly down 18% from the seasonally strong fourth quarter and down 4% from the corresponding quarter last year.
Global construction markets continued their overall positive development into 2017. After the US election, commodity prices and particularly oil saw an uptick. Analysts' market outlook for the year is positive, supported by various industry indices indicating expanding global demand for heavy machinery. The global construction equipment market followed the increase in demand, and continued its growth in the first quarter, albeit from low levels.
The global demand for mining equipment remained low in the first quarter but the sentiment is improving backed by a further increase in commodity prices.
Global demand for agriculture equipment continued the weak trend in the first quarter. Analysts forecast 2017 equipment demand to be flat.
At the end of the quarter, the global fleet of pure car and truck carriers stood at approximately 740 vessels, with a combined lifting capacity of 3.9 million CEU.
Seven vessels entered service and six ships were sold for recycling, resulting in a net increase of one vessel
No new orders were reported in the quarter. The global orderbook1 counted 45-50 vessels corresponding to 8-9% of global fleet capacity. Negotiations to postpone deliveries and/or cancel vessels on order have been reported.
The group's fleet stands out in terms of average size and capability to lift high and heavy cargoes. This makes our operating companies well positioned to lift all types of rolling cargoes.
One vessel was delivered during the quarter, the 7 600 CEU post panamax PCTC Morning Peace which commenced service for EUKOR. WWL ASA increased its operated fleet from 127 to 128 vessels in the first quarter whereof 76 vessels were owned by group companies.
In late March, Morning Composer and Morning Conductor were sold from Eukor to an external owner and leased back. A group internal sale was made when MV Topeka was sold from WWASA to ARC and changed name to Liberty.
No vessels were sold for recycling or redelivered to external owners during the quarter.
The combined lifting capacity of WWL ASA was increased by approximately 7 600 CEU in the quarter, and at the end of the quarter, the group had a combined lifting capacity of 873 000 CEU.
WWL ASA controlled approximately 20% of the global fleet by the end of the quarter.
The group has five vessels under construction at shipyards in China and Korea. All five vessels are large Post-Panamax, also known as Neo-Panamax, with a lifting capacity of approximately 8 000 CEU each. Four vessels are on order by WWL ASA fully owned entities while one is under construction for EUKOR. Two vessels are expected to enter service in 2017, two in 2018 and one is scheduled for delivery in early 2019.
No new orders were placed by the group in the first quarter.
The group has 20 vessels on short term charter arrangements and has the flexibility to redeliver nine vessels by the end of 2017.
1 not including unconfirmed orders and options
Below reporting relates to the WWASA pre-merger operation and fleet only. WWL ASA will review reporting practice for all merged entities and work towards a future common reporting format covering all operation and fleet.
For the first quarter, the 28 vessels monitored and analysed by WWASA consumed 60,4 thousand tonnes fuel and carried out 3838 million tonne miles3 of transport work. This was equal to 15.7 gram fuel consumed per cargo tonne miles, down from 17.2 gram per tonne mile in the previous quarter. The overall transport efficiency increased as the transport work was slightly higher compared with previous quarter.
Correspondingly, the emitted CO2 was 49.0 gram per cargo tonnes-miles4 , down from 53.5 in the previous quarter.
There were no environmental incidents in the first quarter. The fleet had 17 port state controls, 13 of them with zero (0) deficiencies noted. No vessels were detained and the deficiency rate indicates that the fleet is managed according to the group's standards.
WWASA's controlled vessels recorded zero (0) incidents resulting in lost working time. The LTIF ratio of zero (0) for the first quarter, below the groups target.
2 HSEQ reporting is based on vessels owned and controlled by WWASA (pre merger).
3 Measures number of tonnes by distance transported. For sea voyage reports at noon.
4 The International Maritime Organisation measures energy efficiency as grams of CO2 per tonne nautical mile.
Approximately USD 310 million on 100% basis in provisions remain to cover potential extraordinary costs in jurisdictions with ongoing anti-trust investigations.
The ongoing investigations are confidential. WWL ASA is therefore not in a position to
Prospects
In mature markets, auto sales are expected to be relatively flat while the outlook for the emerging markets are mixed. Overall, the expectations are slightly positive.
Global construction, mining and agriculture equipment sales are forecasted to improve slightly from low levels.
comment on the remaining investigations. The
The board expects that the merger will have positive impact on the group profitability.
While the positive effects in 2017 to a large degree will be offset by restructuring costs, the synergies will be substantial in 2018 and have full effect in 2019 (estimated up towards USD 100 million on an annual basis).
However, continued rate pressure combined with some overcapacity in the market will continue to put pressure on the ocean segment.
Lysaker, 9 May 2017 The board of directors of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics ASA
Forward-looking statements presented in this report are based on various assumptions. The assumptions were reasonable when made, but are inherently subject to uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict. WWL ASA cannot give assurances that expectations regarding the outlook will be achieved or accomplished.

1 The report is based on the proportionate method for all joint ventures.
The equity method provides a fair presentation of the group's financial position but the group's internal financial reporting is based on the proportionate method. The major contributors in the shipping and logistics segments are joint ventures and hence the proportionate method gives the chief operating decision-maker a higher level of information and a better picture of the group's operations.
2 Cash settled portion of bunker hedge swaps is included in net operating profit by reduction/(increase) of voyage related expenses.
As a result of rounding adjustments, the figures in one or more columns may not add up to the total of that column.

Joint ventures based on proportionate method
After WWL acquired the full ownership of WWL Vehicle Services Americas (VSA), the group has reviewed and analyzed the past accounting and reporting practices. For Inland Distribution Nissan compensates VSA for procurement and process management with a fixed fee leaving no business risk with VSA. In the past this was accounted for on a gross basis in the WWASA consolidated figures. Going forward this is considered "pass through" revenues/costs and will therefore be accounted for on a net basis. As per third quarter 2016 the accounting practice has changed, and previous reported figures have been restated accordingly.
The Q1 and Q2 2016 figures are restated as showed below.
These revenues/costs are a part of the group revenue/cost in the Income statement based on proportionate consolidation for joint ventures. The adjustments have no effect on EBIT or net profit.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) are based on third party quotes.
These quotes use the maximum number of observable market rates for price discovery. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves
The fair value of interest rate swap option (swaption) contracts is determined using observable volatility, yield curve and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance sheet date, resulting in a swaption premium
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value and
The fair value of foreign exchange option contracts is determined using observable forward exchange rates, volatility, yield curve and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance sheet date, resulting in an option premium.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the group for similar financial instruments.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.
The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current mid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 are listed equities and liquid investment grade bonds.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are based on third-party quotes (Mark-to-Market). These quotes use the maximum number of observable market rates for price discovery. The different valuation techniques typically applied by financial counterparties (banks) were described above. These instruments - FX and IR derivatives - are included in level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is in level 3. Primarily illiquid investment funds and structured notes are included in level 3.
