Group result

Total income for the Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group (referred to as Wilhelmsen or group) was USD 234 million in the third quarter of 2022, up 8% from the corresponding period last year but down 2% from the second quarter. The positive trend with year-over-year growth in operating revenue continued, driven by Maritime Services.

EBITDA was USD 36 million, down 7% from one year earlier and down 9% from the previous quarter. The reduction is mainly due to the currency effect from converting EBITDA in local currencies into a stronger USD. Lower operating margin also had a negative impact.

Share of profit from joint ventures and associates was USD 87 million. The contribution from Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA remained strong and well above both previous year and the second quarter.

Financial items were negative with USD 135 million, including a USD 106 million negative change in fair value of financial assets and a USD 24 million unrealised loss on FX hedges.

Net profit to equity holders of the company was nil for the quarter, equal to a negative USD 0.01 earnings per share (EPS).

Other comprehensive income was negative with USD 62 million, mainly from currency translation differences related to non-USD entities. Total comprehensive income, including net profit and other comprehensive income, attributable to equity holders of the company was negative with USD 63 million.

Group balance sheet

Total assets were down 3% in the third quarter, mainly due to lower value of assets in non-USD entities following the strong appreciation of USD. Shareholders' equity was also down 3% for the quarter, to USD 1 968 million. As of 30 September, the group equity ratio was 64%.

Both higher volumes and price increases had a positive impact on income. Demand for refrigerants and chemicals remained up from last year, supported by higher cruise activities.

New Energy segment

Total income for the New Energy segment was USD 76 million in the third quarter. This was unchanged from the corresponding period last year and down 7% from the previous quarter. Income was strongly impacted by the appreciation of USD versus NOK and other European currencies. When measured in local currencies, income was up year-over-year and in line with the second quarter.

EBITDA was USD 13 million, down 22% from the corresponding period last year and down 13% from the previous quarter. The reduction was mainly due to the currency effect from a stronger USD when converting from local currencies. Year-over-year, EBITDA was also negatively impacted by a reclassification of cost due to the full consolidation of Vikan Næringspark Invest and a reallocation of corporate cost to the New Energy segment.

Share of profit from joint ventures and associates was USD 3 million in the third quarter, while financial items were included with a net expense of USD 4 million.

The reduction in total income was mainly due to a stronger USD, reducing the USD value of income in other currencies.

Outlook

Wilhelmsen is an industrial holding company within the maritime industry. The group's activities are carried out through fully and partly owned entities, most of which are among the market leaders within their segments. Our ambition is to develop companies within maritime services, shipping, logistics, renewables, and related infrastructure through active ownership.

Maritime Services

Maritime Services delivers value creating solutions to the global merchant fleet, focusing on Ships Service, Ports Services, and Ship Management.

The maritime services operation is presently supported by a generally positive global shipping market, and with some further upside related to cruise. At the same time, inflationary pressure, raw material shortages, and supply chain issues are putting pressure on both the operation and on operating margins. We expect these factors to remain in the short term. To compensate for the cost increases, the operating companies are in the process of implementing necessary price increases.

Looking further ahead, we believe that the maritime services market will continue to grow, supported by a growing world economy. With global networks and strong brands built over many years, and with a long history of innovation and market adaption, Wilhelmsen is in a good position to service this market.

New Energy

The focus of New Energy is to create new opportunities and partnerships in renewables, zero-emission shipping, and marine digitalisation.

High energy prices and supply constrains following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have increased focus on securing Europe's need for energy. This supports a continued high activity level at the offshore fields supported by NorSea and other Wilhelmsen operations. We believe this situation to remain in the short term.

A strong focus on climate measures in Europe and globally will support, among others, a gradual shift from offshore oil and gas to offshore wind, and decarbonization of the global fleet. With a broad range of operations, infrastructure, and new initiatives across offshore and other maritime activities, Wilhelmsen is well positioned to participate in these energy and technology shifts.

Strategic Holdings and Investments

Wilhelmsen holds large strategic shareholdings in Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA and, through its 77% shareholding in Treasure ASA, Hyundai Glovis. Through our shareholdings in these companies, we will continue to provide and develop world leading logistics services to the global automotive and ro-ro industries.

A favorable supply-demand balance in global ro-ro shipping has recently lifted the earnings and dividend capacity of our strategic holdings. We expect this situation to remain over the mid-term.

Long term, we believe that both Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA and Hyundai Glovis have the size, global reach, human and physical assets, and customer base to succeed in a continuously changing world.

Wilhelmsen group

Wilhelmsen retains a strong balance sheet and a balanced portfolio of leading maritime operations and investments.

While uncertainty persists, specifically regarding inflationary pressure, supply chain issues, and geopolitical tension, the group retains its capacity to support and grow the portfolio, and to deliver consistent yearly dividend.

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 by financial counterparties (banks) to value financial derivatives include: - Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar derivatives

  • The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the net 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. Options are typically valued by applying the Black-Scholes model.

  • 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 net present value

  • The fair value of foreign exchange option contracts is determined using observable forward exchange rates, volatility, yield curves and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance sheet date, resulting in an option premium. Options are typically valued by applying the Black-Scholes model.

The carrying value less impairment provision of 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 derivatives.

The fair values, except for bond debt, are based on cash flows discounted using a rate based on market rates including margins and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the bond debt are based on quoted prices and are also classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to limited trading in an active market.

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 at the end of September 2022 are liquid investment grade bonds (analogous for 2021).

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) are based on third party quotes (Mark-to-Market). These quotes use the maximum number of observable market rates for price discovery. The different 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 derivatives is in level 3. Primarily illiquid investment funds and structured notes are included in level 3.

Note 15 - Related party transactions

WWH delivers services to the Wallenius Wilhelmsen group. These include primarily in-house services such as canteen, post, switchboard and rent of office facilities.

Generally, Shared Services are priced using a cost plus 5% margin calculation, in accordance with the principles set out in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines and are delivered according to agreements that are renewed annually.

Note 16 - Contingencies

The size and global activities of the group dictate that companies in the group will be involved from time to time in disputes and legal actions.

The group is not aware of any financial risk associated with disputes and legal actions which are not largely covered through insurance arrangements.

Note 17 - Events occurring after the balance sheet date

In October, Wilhelmsen have reached an agreement to buy 100% of the shares in Vopak Agencies.

In addition Maritime Services have several transactions with associates. The contracts governing such transactions are based on commercial market terms.

Nevertheless, any such disputes/actions which might exist are of such a nature that they will not significantly affect the group's financial position.

No other material events occured between the balance sheet date and the date when the accounts were presented providing new information about the conditions prevailing on the balance sheet date.
