Financial performance

Torbjørn Wist

CFO and Acting CEO

Financial highlights – Q1 2021

Shipping and Government EBITDA under pressure in Q1

  • QoQ EBITDA down due to higher net fuel cost and ramp-up costs due to pressure on fleet operations and global supply-chains
  • YoY EBITDA slightly down du to capacity costs, offsetting positive revenue development

  • QoQ EBITDA slightly up thanks to strong H&H activity in Americas
  • YoY EBITDA up on all sub-segments, with recovery from early Covid19 period

Government – EBITDA (adjusted)1 USDm

  • QoQ EBITDA down due to timing of cargo, partially offset by lower SG&A and vessel opex
  • YoY EBITDA slightly down with lower activity in cargo offset by lower net fuel costs and lower vessel opex
