Highlights first quarter 2018
"The first quarter is seasonally weak, but results were still below our expectations. Volumes continued to develop favourably, especially for high & heavy equipment and we see the beginnings of an improved tonnage supply demand balance. However, market prices remain at a depressed level."

Underlying performance (EBITDA) for the seasonally weak first quarter ended at USD 125 million, a decline of 12% compared to the same period last year due to lower results for the ocean segment.

On 4 April 2017, the merger between Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA and WallRoll AB was completed, with Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA as the surviving company, renamed to Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA. Historical figures used for comparison with the first quarter 2018 are the proforma figures.
Total income was USD 968 million in the seasonally weak first quarter, up 9% from the same period last year mainly driven by increased fuel cost compensation and increased revenues for the landbased segment. Ocean volumes were up 2% on a yearly basis despite reduction in contracted Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) volumes due to strong underlying volume development. Compared to last quarter total income was down 6% driven by a reduction in ocean volumes by 12% partly offset by increased fuel compensation and increased revenues from landbased.Ocean volumes decreased in most foundation trades with the strongest decline in the Asia-North America and Asia-Europe trade due to the planned reduction in contracted HMG volumes (about 0.5 million cbm) and strike at HMG facilities in South Korea in December / January.
EBITDA ended at USD 125 million in the first quarter, a decline of 12% from USD 143 million in first quarter last year. Extraordinary costs of about USD 3 million were recorded in the quarter, related to the restructuring and realization of synergies. EBITDA adjusted for these items came in at USD 128 million, a decline of 10% y-o-y. The decline is mainly driven by the ocean segment which was negatively impacted by contracted reductions in HMG volumes, rate reductions, increased bunker prices and unfavourable currency movements. The negative effects were only partly offset by underlying positive volume and cargo mix development and realization of synergies. EBITDA for the landbased segment was down about USD 2 million due to increased SG&A cost allocations of about USD 3 million. The results were positively impacted by the Melbourne terminal being fully operational from January 2018 and the acquisition of Keen Transport, while results for technical services in North Americas was negatively impacted by continued congestion and inefficiencies in a few US locations. EBITDA adjusted in the first quarter was down 30% compared to the previous quarter driven by the same factors as described above as well as seasonally significantly lower volumes and less support from project cargo shipments in the Atlantic, which is normally weak in the first quarter compared to rest of the year.
At the end of the first quarter about USD 85 million of the USD 120 million synergy target was confirmed. During the quarter about USD 10 million was added to confirmed synergies, through a combination of fleet optimization, procurement and SG&A savings. The annualized run rate for synergies were about USD 80 million, up from about USD 65 million in the previous quarter. The remaining part of the confirmed synergies will gradually come into effect over the next 3-6 months.
Net financial items were USD 5 million for the first quarter, compared with an expense of USD 35 million in the previous quarter. Net interest expenses were USD 41 million in the first quarter, stable compared with previous quarter last year. Net financial expenses were positively impacted by USD 30 million in unrealised interest derivates and USD 3 million related to movements in currency derivatives.
The group recorded a tax expense of USD 25 million in the first quarter compared with a tax income in the fourth quarter 2017 of USD 27 million. A material part of first quarter tax expense is change in deferred tax of USD 12 million and provision for withholding tax on dividends from EUKOR of USD 7 million. Net result for the first quarter came in at USD 10 million compared with USD 60 million in the first quarter last year. The average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) in the first quarter was 2.6%.
The equity ratio was 36.3% in the first quarter, slightly up compared with previous quarter of 35.8%. Cash and cash equivalents by the end of the first quarter was USD 649 million, down from USD 796 million in the previous quarter. The reduction was mainly driven by about USD 90 million in early repayment of ship loans which were refinanced in early April as part of the legal and financial restructuring project that was successfully finalised on 26 April. In addition, Wallenius Wilhelmsen has about USD 250 million in undrawn credit facilities. Net interest-bearing debt was USD 2 977 million at the end of the first quarter. The group has four vessels on order and the outstanding instalments for these vessels is about USD 160 million. The vessels are financed through regular bank facilities.
On 21 February 2018, the European Competition authorities announced the outcome of the investigation in the form of an industry settlement, including WWL AS, EUKOR and four other carriers. The investigation revealed certain instances of conduct contrary to company policies and in breach of EU competition laws. As a part of the industry settlement, WWL AS and EUKOR were fined EUR 207 million in total with payment due late May 2018. Wallenius WIlhelmsen had made a provision for the outcome of the investigation and consequently the fine did not impact the income statement. About USD 440 million in provisions (including EU) remain to cover potential extraordinary costs in jurisdictions with ongoing anti-trust proceedings and potential civil claims.
Underlying performance (EBITDA) for the seasonally weak first quarter ended at USD 111 million, a decline of 10% y-o-y due to contracted reduction in HMG volumes, rate reductions, increased bunker prices and unfavorable currency movements partly offset by underlying positive volume development.

2) Prorated volumes
Total income for the ocean segment was USD 750 million, up 4% from USD 719 million in the first quarter last year, mainly driven by increased fuel cost compensation due to higher bunker prices. Ocean volumes were up 2% y-o-y driven by strong underlying volume development, offset by a reduction in contracted HMG volumes (about 0.5 million cbm) from January 2018 and strike at HMG production facilities in South Korea. The strike ended in late January and caused a total production loss/delay of about 45 000 units (about 0.5 million cbm) in December and January combined.
Total income was down 10% from previous quarter driven by a reduction in ocean volumes of 12% due to seasonality and contracted reduction in HMG volumes. Ocean volumes decreased in most foundation trades with the strongest decline in the Asia-North America and Asia-Europe trade due to said reduction in contracted HMG volumes and for Europe-Asia following a very strong fourth quarter in 2017. The high & heavy share increased to 27.9% (up from about 26% in the previous quarter) due to continued positive development in the high & heavy segment, but also partly driven by reduction in HMG (auto) volumes.
EBITDA for the seasonally weak first quarter ended at USD 109 million, a decline of 11% compared to the same period last year. In the first quarter extraordinary costs of about USD 2 million were recorded, related to the restructuring and realization of synergies. EBITDA adjusted for these items came in at USD 111 million, a decline of 10% y-o-y due to several factors. Firstly, EBITDA was negatively impacted by rate reductions of about USD 15 million and planned contracted reduction in HMG volumes and the strike at HMG production facilities. Furthermore, increased bunker prices had a more than USD 10 million negative effect during the quarter due to lag in bunker cost compensation. In addition, the USD has weakened substantially since the same period last year causing a negative currency effect of about USD 15 million. USD is the functional currency for most customer contracts while local port charges and SG&A costs are partly in other currencies (see annual report for currency risk in the group).
Furtermore, Armacup experienced challenges with the brown marmorated stink bug which caused operational inefficiencies and negatively impacted EBITDA with about USD 3 million. The negative impact from above factors were partly offset by underlying strong volume development, increased high & heavy share and realization of synergies.
EBITDA in the first quarter was down 31% compared to the previous quarter driven by the same factors as described above as well as seasonally significantly lower volumes and less support from project cargo shipments in the Atlantic, which is normally weak in the first quarter compared to rest of the year.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen group operated a core fleet of 124 vessels with carrying capacity of 851K CEU, representing about 20% of the global car carrier fleet, in the first quarter. During the quarter two vessels were redelivered to external owners which resulted in a decrease of two vessels in the core fleet.
Therefore, the group continued to increase short-term time charter activities and controlled a fleet of total 133 vessels at the end of the first quarter. Currently, the group retains flexibility to redeliver two vessels in 2018 and up to 19 vessels by 2022 (excluding vessels on short charter; less than 12 months).
Four Post-Panamax vessels are under construction with combined capacity of 32K CEU. Two of these vessels are expected to enter service in 2018 and two are scheduled for delivery in 2019. The outstanding instalments for these vessels are about USD 160 million. The vessels have been financed through regular bank facilities.
Performance (EBITDA) for the landbased segment was stable compared to last year, but results were pulled down by increased SG&A cost allocations effective from January 2018.

Total income in the first quarter increased from USD 186 million to USD 232 million, up 25% compared with the same quarter last year. This was driven by the Keen Transport acquisition and full operations at the Melbourne terminal as other entities in sum moved sideways with relatively small changes. Total income was also up quarter on quarter (5%) driven by the same factors.
EBITDA for the landbased segment ended at USD 20 million in the first quarter, down from USD 22 million in the same period last year, equivalent to a 10% reduction. Overall, the landbased segment was negatively impacted by increased SG&A cost allocations of USD 3 million (offset by a similar reduction in ocean) following a detailed review of the IT portfolio and cost drivers.
Technical services in North America (VSA) continued to experience high volumes and activity level. However, the strong volumes combined with continued high auto inventories caused congestion at certain facilities which led to an increase in operational costs and reduced operational efficiencies.
Terminals delivered improved results supported by the Melbourne terminal being fully operational from January 2018 and overall increase in Ocean volumes (mainly for Zeebrugge, Baltimore and Southampton).
Keen Transport contributed positively to the results compared to last year and quarter as the entity was acquired 7 December 2017. The technical services and inland distribution portfolio in APAC and EMEA had a negative results development mainly driven by one-off costs in Australia and increased SG&A cost allocations.
Overall, auto export development was positive in the quarter with an increase of 4.6% compared to the same period last year. The high & heavy markets continue to strengthen with construction equipment trade growing and mining equipment continuing to show some improvement.
Total light vehicle (LV) sales in the first quarter increased 2.6% compared to the corresponding period last year and declined 4.0% compared to the seasonally stronger fourth quarter of 2017.
North America sales were better than expected, only down 0.2% compared to same period last year and down 8.1% compared to the seasonally stronger fourth quarter. Despite softer sales, the absolute sales figures are still strong.
Sales in Western Europe were down 0.8% y-o-y due to slow sales in the UK compared to last year, but was up about 16.8% q-o-q. The Chinese market started the year with sales up 4.6% y-o-y which was considered positive given that the temporarily tax cut ended in December 2017. Sales were down 16% q-o-q following a very strong fourth quarter in 2017. Both the Russian (+21.4% y-o-y and -16.0% q-o-q) and the Brazilian (12.8% y-o-y and -13.6% q-oq) markets showed a positive underlying growth in the first quarter.
Total exports in the first quarter were up 4.6% compared to the corresponding period last year, highlighting the positive momentum in global deep-sea volumes.
Exports out of North America in the first quarter increased 6.8% yo-y and 4.2% q-o-q as Mexican exports are ramping up. European exports were up 6.7% y-o-y and 0.6% q-o-q in the first quarter. Japanese exports in the first quarter were up 6.5% y-o-y and down 2.4% q-o-q. Exports out of South Korea were up 0.9% y-o-y and 1.9% q-o-q. Chinese exports were up 34.6% y-o-y due to higher volumes and new export facilities, but flat q-o-q.
The momentum in global high & heavy trade solidified going into 2018, with exports of construction, mining and farm machinery growing 20% y-o-y 1 .
Global construction equipment exports increased 26% y-o-y, against a global economic backdrop that despite trade tensions remain the most encouraging it has been for several years. In the US, seasonally adjusted construction spending edged up from the previous quarter. Construction machinery deliveries from US manufacturers increased 18% y-o-y, while imports of construction equipment lifted 34% y-o-y. The seasonally adjusted construction output in the EU softened somewhat, but the Eurozone construction PMI continued to signal expansion despite weather disruptions in key economies in March. Construction machinery exports to Europe increased 25% y-o-y. The Australian construction industry extended its period of increasing activity to 14 consecutive months in March, and growth in construction machinery imports accelerated to 46% y-o-y.
Following strong gains towards the end of 2017, mined commodity prices softened in the first quarter. The global recovery in the mining machinery market continued in the period. OEM majors again reported strong sales growth in their mining divisions, with broad-based geographical demand. While aftermarket sales remain important for the equipment manufacturers, demand for new equipment continues to strengthen on replacement needs.
Global agricultural commodity prices edged up in the quarter. Exports of agricultural machinery increased 9% y-oy, while demand for large agriculture equipment softened in major markets. First quarter US large tractor sales decreased 4% y-o-y, as weak February sales more than offset the modest gains in the other months of the quarter. Registrations of higher HP tractors softened in the three biggest European markets in the quarter, with Germany (- 5% y-o-y), France (-18% y-o-y) and UK (-3% y-o-y) all declining from the corresponding period last year, largely explained by the EU registration deadline late in 2017. The Australian market concluded another strong quarter with 15% y-o-y sales growth, while the Brazilian market contraction continued with tractor sales dropping 26% y-oy from the comparatively strong quarter a year ago.
The global car carrier fleet totaled 741 vessels with a capacity of 4.05 million CEU at the end of the first quarter.
During the quarter five vessels were delivered, and two vessels were sold for recycling, resulting in a net increase of three vessels in the first quarter. Furthermore, no orders, cancellations or conversions were reported.
The orderbook for deep-sea vehicle carriers stands at about 25 vessels, representing less than 5% of the global fleet capacity,

Ocean LTIF rose relative to the previous quarter but remain at a low level. Land LTIF results were reported for the first time. Total CO2 emissions were at similar levels as same period last year. Important IMO regulatory developments on CO2 and sulphur in the quarter.
0
Q1 2018
There were three lost time incidents arising from ocean operations for the quarter which was the same as the previous quarter. The LTIF increased due to an overall reduction in exposure hours.
LTIF results for landbased are presented for the first time and will be reported quarterly going forward. Safety is a core focus area for landbased and a Safety 1st program is currently being rolled out to all entities globally with target to reduce number of incidents to an absolute minimum.
The total CO2 emitted in the quarter was 2.6% less than in the same quarter of 2017, which was marginally greater than the decrease in total cargo work done, as measured in tonne kilometres. This marginal difference is reflected by the slight 0.7% reduction in the grams of CO2 emitted per tonne kilometre. Minor changes, like this, observed over relatively short intervals, are generally not possible to reliably attribute to a particular driver.
IMO's MEPC 72 meeting in April produced two important regulatory developments, both welcomed by Wallenius Wilhelmsen. The first significant regulatory development was IMO's approval of a "Carriage ban" on noncompliant fuels for vessels without scrubbers. The "Carriage ban" has been strongly supported by Wallenius Wilhelmsen for the role it can play in facilitating the effective enforcement of sulphur regulation. Secondly, IMO has now defined its Initial Green House Gas Strategy. The strategy includes a vision, guiding principles and levels of ambition. The latter notably includes a target to reduce total CO2 emissions from shipping by 50% by 2050 relative to 2008.
The board maintains a balanced view on the prospects for Wallenius Wilhelmsen. The positive volume development and recovery in the high & heavy segment is expected to continue. Increased realization of synergies will also positively impact the results. The tonnage supply/demand balance has started to improve, but market rates remain at a depressed level.
The results will continue to be impacted by the contracted reduction in HMG volumes and rate reductions from contract renewals during 2017 of which both were reflected in the first quarter results.

This consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS 34), "interim financial reporting". The consolidated interim financial reporting should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year end 31 December 2017 for Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA group (the group), which has been prepared in accordance with IFRS's endorsed by the EU.
The accounting policies implemented are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the group for the year end 31 December 2017, with the exception of IFRS 9 and 15:
IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments impairment of assets and hedge accounting. The adoption of IFRS 9 Financial instruments from 1 January 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
The group has only one type of financial asset that are subject to IFRS 9's new expected credit loss model: Trade receivables for sale of services.
The group was required to revise its impairment methodology under IFRS 9 for the class of asset. The impact of the change in impairment on the group's level is immaterial and no adjustments have been done at the retained earnings.
The group has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 January 2018 which resulted in no material changes.
There are no other new standards or amendments to standards released during 2018.
Due to the merger transaction described in note 2, 12 and 13 the group's remaining joint ventures and associates are no longer regarded as part of the group's operating activity. Hence, the share of profit/(loss) from joint ventures and associates are reclassified to financial income/expenses. Comparative figures, including loss on previously held equity interest, are also reclassified.
As a result of rounding adjustments, the figures in one or more columns may not add up to the total of that column.
There has not been any significant acquisitions or disposals during the first quarter of 2018.
2017:
Acquisitions in the landbased segment and new ownership structure for joint ventures, see note 12.
Due to the merger transaction in 2017, described in note 2, 12 and 13, which materially impacts the consolidated historical financial statements for the group, the below segment information for 2017 is not based on historical financial information since the board is of the opinion that this would not provide meaningful information.
Therefore, the information is based on unaudited proforma income statement for Q1 2017 and actual figures for the last three quarters of 2017. The proforma income statement for Q1 2017 has been prepared on the basis as if the merger transaction had been effective on 1 January 2016.

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:
curves - The fair value of interest rate swap option (swaption) contracts is determined using observable volatility, yield curve and time-tomaturity 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.
