Agenda 1. Shipping update 2. Logistics update 3. Financial update 4. Prospects and Q&A
Prospects • We continue to expect the supply-demand balance in shipping to remain favorable over the mid-term due to the overall global fleet situation. Logistics volumes will benefit from gradual improvement of automotive semiconductor chip supply expected during the latter part of 2022. This is expected to allow us to consolidate financial flexibility and help drive shareholder value creation in the absence of further volatility. Current disruptions to the global supply chains negatively impact the group and its customers. • Potential risks include further disruptions to the global supply chains, operational impact from further Covid- 19 outbreaks, fuel supply disruption, labor cost and availability, further escalation of the war in Ukraine and negative global economic developments. 22
