Management review  I  Highlights Q4 2022

Management review

A.P. Moller - Maersk continued to deliver strong results although profitability was at a lower level compared to Q4 2021. Profit was USD 5.0bn (USD 6.1bn) for Q4.

Compared to previous year, results were mainly affected by lower volumes caused by a weakening customer demand which triggered an easing of congestions and operational bottlenecks. Sequentially, freight rates were down from the peak levels reached by mid-2022.

Highlights Q4 2022

Revenue for Q4 decreased by USD 686m to USD 17.8bn (USD 18.5bn), mainly due to a decrease in Ocean of USD 1.3bn, while revenue increased by USD 844m in Logistics & Services and decreased by USD 90m in Terminals. EBITDA decreased by USD 1.5bn to USD 6.5bn (USD 8.0bn), and EBIT decreased by USD 1.5bn to USD 5.1bn (USD 6.6bn) comprising:

Ocean, with a decrease by USD 1.5bn to USD 4.8bn (USD 6.3bn), driven by lower volumes and lower freight rates on shipment rates on routes from Asia to Europe and to North America together with higher costs related to bunker, container handling and network.

Logistics & Services on par at USD 139m (USD 137m), due to the increase in revenue offset by lower margins especially in Managed by Maersk and in Fulfilled by Maersk impacted by the unfolding destocking.

Terminals, with a decrease to USD 232m (USD 307m), mainly due to significantly lower volumes on the US West Coast and in Spain, and lower congestion related storage revenue and volumes in North America.

Free cash flow increased to USD 6.5bn (USD 5.6bn), due to strong cash flows from operating activities of USD 8.2bn (USD 7.9bn), partly offset by CAPEX of USD 895m (USD 1.6bn) and higher capitalised lease instalments of USD 861m (USD 586m), driven by further investments across all segments. Total cash and bank balances, including term deposits and securities increased to USD 28.6bn (USD 16.9bn).

Total distribution of cash to shareholders through share buy-backs was USD 685m in Q4 2022.

Management review  I  Review Q4 2022

Review Q4 2022

Strong financial results impacted by normalisation

A.P. Moller - Maersk delivered strong financial results in Q4 2022 as the anticipated normalisation continued.

In Ocean, with lower volumes and market normalisation setting in, deployed capacity is actively being adjusted to meet available demand, and Ocean continues to partner with key customers, offering contract customers additional flexibility and space to help with volatility in their supply chains. A total of 1.9m FFE are currently signed on multi-year deals and the share of long-haul contract volumes stood at 65% (75%).

In Logistics & Services, the development in revenue is driven by inorganic revenue with expanded capabilities through facilitator type acquisitions, while revenue decreased organically as a result of lower volumes and market normalisa- tion in Q4.

In Terminals, business is resilient despite the weakening of the global container market affecting volumes and revenue.

Overall, the businesses performed well in an environment of receding demand and rising inflation.

Winding down in Russia

As previously announced, A.P. Moller - Maersk is winding down its operations in Russia, which will ultimately result in a complete exit from the country. All services to and from Russia have been discontinued since Q1, and in Q3, sale of the minority stake of 30.75% of Global Ports Investments (GPI) was completed. The process of divesting the remaining assets, two warehouses and four tugboats is ongoing.

The original impact on EBIT in Q1 from the Russia/Ukraine situation was less negative due to the reversal in Q2 of USD 94m, in Q3 with the reversal of container impairments and the disposal of GPI, net of translation reserves totalling USD 92m and in Q4 with further reversal of impairments amounting to USD 21m leaving a net EBIT impact of negative USD 511m for 2022.
