Total income for the Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group (referred to as Wilhelmsen or group) was USD 259 million in the second quarter of 2023, up 9% from the corresponding period last year and down 1% from the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was due to higher operating revenue in Maritime Services, while income in New Energy was down. Compared with the first quarter, income was stable for most activities.
EBITDA was USD 39 million, unchanged from both last year and the previous quarter. EBITDA improved in Maritime Services, offsetting lower contribution from New Energy.
Share of profit from joint ventures and associates was USD 117 million, lifted by an all-time high contribution from Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA.
Income from financial items was USD 114 million. This included a USD 117 million positive change in fair value of financial assets, mainly related to Hyundai Glovis.
Net profit to equity holders of the company was USD 225 million for the quarter, equal to USD 5.09 earnings per share (EPS).
Other comprehensive income was negative with USD 16 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 USD 209 million.
Total assets were up 3% in the second quarter mainly due to higher value of financial assets. Shareholders' equity was up 8% for the quarter, to USD 2 586 million. As of 30 June, the group equity ratio was 68%.

*Two additional metrics are measured annually and will be reported in the fourth quarter - the engagement survey result; and the fair, equal and inclusiveness perception score. ** Restated based on new analytics and data available – previously reported as 2.38%.
The group's internal index measures ESG performance in four strategic focus areas. 17 KPIs are weighted within these areas based on the group's strategic ambitions (excluding financial targets which are reported separately). The overall target for the ESG index at year end is a result greater than 0.9 which means the entity/segment/group ESG activities are on or better than targeted.
The overall group ESG index result was 0.70 for the second quarter. This was mainly due to positive developments in greenhouse gas emissions reduction activities and gender balance, and negative developments in lost time injury frequency rate, turnover rate, and mandatory training completion rates.
In the second quarter, the Maritime Services segment's revolving credit facility was amended to include two sustainability linked KPIs: LTIF for seafarers, and Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reductions. The first measuring period will be for the calendar year 2023.
Our ambition is to shape the maritime industry's transition towards net zero emissions and capitalize on green growth.
Scope 1 GHG emissions were 7.34% (120 tCO2e) lower in the second quarter compared with the same quarter in 2022 (base year), and renewable energy accounted for 49% of the electricity consumption.
Our ambition is to have a safe and engaging workplace with no harm to people, with a culture where each employee is valued for their contribution.
In the second quarter, the lost time injury frequency (LTIF) results were negatively above target. There were four LTI cases related to seafarers and six LTI cases related to onshore employees in the period.
Headcount increased 3% in the quarter, and there was positive increase in gender balance with 33% females in top three management positions. The turnover rate was negatively above target.
Our ambition is to be a responsible, trusted, and compliant value chain partner.
Internal and supplier assessments and audits were on target in the quarter and there were positive results in the rollout of the new supplier code of conduct. The percentage completion rate for mandatory training was improved in the quarter but is still below target.
This includes Ships Service, Port Services, Ship Management, and other activities reported under the Maritime Services segment.

Total income for the Maritime Services segment was USD 185 million in the second quarter. This was up 19% from the corresponding period last year and up 1% from the previous quarter. All main activities had a year-over-year increase in total income, driven by new acquisitions, volume growth, and inflation effect on pricing.
EBITDA was USD 30 million, up 19% year-over-year and up 8% from the previous quarter. EBITDA was supported by the year-over-year increase in total income and a further weakening of the NOK during the second quarter.
Share of profit from joint ventures and associates was USD 1 million in the quarter, while financial items were nil. Financial items included a USD 2 million gain from reversal of impairment of loan to associates, and a net FX gain of USD 1 million. Tax expense was USD 5 million for the quarter.
The quarter ended with a profit to equity holders of the company of USD 19 million.
Total income for Ships Service was USD 119 million. This was up 20% from the corresponding period last year and on par with the previous quarter. Year-over year, income was lifted by a combination of higher volumes, price increases, and acquisitions. Volume was up for most product categories, including refrigerants, chemicals, and ropes. The price increases mainly reflected higher product and freight cost. Acquisition growth included Stromme, a specialised cargo hold cleaning company in the marine industry acquired in September 2022, and Navadan, a tank and cargo hold cleaning company acquired in January 2023.
Wilhelmsen Port Services provides full agency, husbandry, and protective agency services to the merchant fleet.
Total income for Port Services was USD 38 million. This was up 9% from the corresponding period last year and up 2% from the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the acquisition of Vopak Agencies, completed in December 2022. Vopak Agencies is a leading provider of hub services and port agency within the tanker segments in Europe. The increase in income from the previous quarter reflected higher number of appointments partly offset by a reduction in income per appointment.
Wilhelmsen Ship Management provides full technical management, crewing, and related services for all major vessel types.
Total income for Ship Management was USD 22 million, up 32% from the corresponding period last year and up 10% from the previous quarter. Income was lifted by a higher number of vessels under full technical management and an increase in both crew management and auxiliary services.
This includes Wilhelmsen Chemicals, Wilhelmsen Insurance Services and Global Business Services (all fully owned by Wilhelmsen) and certain other activities reported under the Maritime Services segment.
Income from other activities was stable for the quarter.
This includes NorSea, Edda Wind ASA, and other activities reported under the New Energy segment.

Total income for the New Energy segment was USD 74 million in the second quarter. This was down 9% from the corresponding period last year and down 2% from the previous quarter. Total income in NorSea was up, but this was offset by loss of income from NorSea Wind.
EBITDA was USD 11 million, down 25% from the corresponding period last year and down 7% from the previous quarter. The reduction was due to lower income and inflationary cost increases which were not fully recovered from customers.
Share of profit from joint ventures and associates was USD 1 million in the second quarter, while financial items were included with a net expense of USD 4 million. Interest expenses were up from one year earlier following a general increase in interest rates. This was partly offset by a USD 1 million positive change in fair value of financial assets.
Profit to equity holders of the company was USD 2 million for the quarter.
NorSea provides supply bases and integrated logistics solutions to the offshore industry. Wilhelmsen owns 99.0% of NorSea.
Total income for NorSea was USD 73 million in the second quarter, up 4% year-over-year and up 5% from the previous quarter. The Danish operation continued to be the main driver behind the income growth, with an increase in operating revenue both year-over-year and from the previous quarter. This follows from a new material offshore contract in the Danish sector which became operational during the third quarter of 2022. Total income in local currency from the Norwegian operations was stable for the quarter, while income measured in USD was down due to a weaker NOK versus USD.
Share of profit from joint ventures and associates in NorSea was USD 1 million.
Edda Wind ASA provides services to the global offshore wind industry and is listed on Oslo Børs. Wilhelmsen owns 25.4% of the company, which is reported as associate in Wilhelmsen's accounts.
Share of profit from Edda Wind ASA is included with nil for the quarter.
The book value of the 25.4% shareholding in Edda Wind ASA was USD 84 million at the end of the second quarter.
This includes Reach Subsea ASA (owned 20.4%), Raa Labs AS, Massterly AS (owned 50%), Dolittle AS (owned 46%) and certain other activities reported under the New Energy segment.
Total income for other activities was further down in the second quarter. This was due to ceasing of operation in NorSea Wind during the first quarter, taking full effect in the second quarter. NorSea Wind is now in a winding up process.
The book value of Wilhelmsen's 20.4% shareholding in Reach Subsea ASA was USD 17 million at the end of the second quarter.
This includes the strategic holdings in Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA and Treasure ASA, other financial and non-financial investments, and other activities reported under the Strategic Holdings and Investments segment.

The Wilhelmsen group consists of a diversified portfolio of operating companies, and strategic holdings and investments. Most activities are within or related to the maritime industry, where Wilhelmsen has extensive competence and a long experience in managing risks.
An overview of main risks and mitigations actions were outlined in the 2022 annual report. There have not been any material changes to the group risk matrix as presented in the 2022 annual report. On a macro level, risk related to geopolitical issues and global financial outlook remains high, with mitigation actions including a balanced portfolio of well managed businesses.
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 delivers value creating solutions to the global merchant fleet, focusing on Ships Service, Port Services, and Ship Management.
The Maritime Services operation is presently supported by a predominantly positive global shipping market. 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.
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.
The New Energy segment focuses on building an ecosystem supporting energy transition. With segment companies representing energy infrastructure, offshore wind, and technology & decarbonisation, Wilhelmsen is driving value-creation by bringing together their unique competencies.
Supply constraints 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, inter alia, 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.
Wilhelmsen holds large strategic shareholdings in Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA and, through its shareholding in Treasure ASA, in 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 lifted the earnings and dividend capacity of our strategic holdings. We expect this situation to remain in the short term.
Long term, 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 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 dividends.
Forward-looking statements presented in this report are based on various assumptions. These assumptions were reasonable when made, but as assumptions are inherently subject to uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict, Wilhelmsen cannot give assurances that expectations regarding the outlook will be achieved or accomplished.

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-thecounter 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-tomaturity 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 June 2023 are liquid investment grade bonds (analogous for 2022).
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.
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.
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. Nevertheless, any such disputes/actions which might exist
