Agenda

  3. Business update

  4. Sustainability update

  5. Financial update

  6. Prospects & Q&A



Firm performance continues

Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2026 ended at USD 389m, down 3% QoQ, reflecting seasonally softer results for Shipping partly offset by improved results in Logistics



Shipping demand, especially from Asia, continues to grow with an increasingly tight charter-in market putting pressure on capacity cost



Logistics delivered a strong quarter, supported by cost measures and higher auto volumes, while Government had a soft start to the year partly explained by a seasonally lower activity level.



Direct commercial impact from the Middle East conflict is limited with only 2-3% of revenues linked to the region. However, the indirect effect of higher fuel cost in Q2 will be substantial before costs are recovered through BAF clauses in subsequent quarters

4



Adjusted EBITDA for 2026 is expected to be about USD 1.6bn, down compared to the previous outlook, primarily reflecting higher net bunker and capacity cost for Shipping





  • One vessel, Morning Concert, situated inside the Gulf

All personnel in the region remain safe



  • Two monthly sailings from Asia to Middle East affected

  • Land based operations in Dubai affected

  • Limited operations at site as no new cargo is arriving

Operational effect on shipping and logistics

  • ~ 2% of shipping revenue from the Middle East offset by other revenue

  • Land based revenue ~ USD 2m per month

  • Total emissions decreased QoQ by 3% due to lower sailing distance and a reduction in average speed.

  • Total emissions increased YoY 3% due to comparable higher sailing distance and increased average speed. Yet, fuel oil consumption per nautical mile remained stable due to energy efficiency measures.

  • Signed two-year fuel agreement with Equinor for supply of bio-methanol

  • EEOI decreased QoQ by 1% to 63.6 explained by lower total CO₂e emissions

    and lower speed and distance sailed, reducing transport work.

  • While absolute emissions increased YoY, higher transport work combined with increased LNG, bio-LNG and biofuel consumption resulted in a 2% reduction in EEOI.

  • In Q2 2026, net bunker cost is expected to increase substantially before costs are recovered through Bunker Adjustment Factors (BAF) in subsequent quarters

  • There is typically a 2-4-month lag between fuel price changes and fuel surcharge

  • When fuel prices increase, our recovery is lagging and when fuel costs decline, recovery is overshooting

  • Equity ratio decreased to 39.4%, down 7% QoQ driven by a reduction in book equity following the dividend payout

  • EUKOR put liability decreased to USD 851m, down USD 46m QoQ reflecting currency effects

  • NIBD increased to USD 2,065m, up 19% due to lower cash balance and increased bank debt following dividend payout

  • Leverage ratio increased to 1.2x

  • Total liquidity reserves of USD 1,437m, down 28% reflecting lower cash balances and drawdowns under revolving credit facilities



Agreement reached with HMG for put/call option

EUKOR ownership structure Comments and details



80%

20% Ocean Carrier Contract (OCC) between HMG and EUKOR

HMG has a put option linked to the 20% ownership in EUKOR

  • In April 2026, Wallenius Wilhelmsen and HMG, agreed that the put and call options linked to HMG's ownership in EUKOR cannot be exercised as long as the OCC includes a commitment of at least 50% of HMG's volumes

  • The current OCC runs until 31 Dec 2029, and the parties have agreed that the earliest exercisable date is 1 Jan 2031

  • The agreement impacts the accounting treatment of the liability which from Q2 2026 will be measured based on the NPV of the estimated future exercise price at the earliest exercisable date. This estimate will be based on the higher of (i) forecast taxable results for the years 2028, 2029 and 2030 and (ii) forecast net asset values as at year-end 2030

  • The estimation of the liability has not been finalized but indicatively the liability will be significantly reduced

  6. Prospects & Q&A



Prospects

Strong demand, in particular for shipping, has continued into 2026 and we expect solid volumes and high utilization to continue. The time charter market for vessels have tightened through 2026 and can potentially put pressure on capacity cost. Furthermore, the significant increase in fuel cost following the Middle East conflict results in higher bunker costs. The latter will fully materialize in Q2 in the form of increased net bunker costs due to a quarterly lag in the bunker adjustments clauses. These cost will be recovered in the succeeding quarters.

Despite the current situation, we expect 2026 to be a new solid year for Wallenius Wilhelmsen. However, reflecting expectations of significantly higher net bunker costs, and increased capacity costs, the adjusted EBITDA for 2026 is expected to be about USD 1.6bn. However, this is very dependent on the length and the effects of the current situation in the Middle East, and other potential material adverse effects.
