Outlook

The board expects a stable development of underlying operating performance for the combined group activities, but with normal seasonal variations.

In the short term, measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus will have a negative impact on most business activities. Wilhelmsen is exposed towards global trade. Uncertainty remains

on future development of global trade, including global economic growth, trade restrictions and the environment.

Wilhelmsen retains its robustness and capacity to meet, and potentially benefit from, such eventualities.
