⁴ The number of shares used to calculate the diluted earnings per share is 120,456,342. The number of outstanding shares as of June 30, 2024 was 120,354,980.

---

•	Adjusted EBIT1 for the second quarter was $488 million, compared to Adjusted EBIT loss of $147 million in the second quarter of 2023.

•	Total revenues for the second quarter were $1,933 million, a year-over-year increase of 48%.

•	Carried volume in the second quarter was 952 thousand TEUs, a year-over-year increase of 11%.

•	Average freight rate per TEU in the second quarter was $1,674, a year-over-year increase of 40%.

Eli Glickman, ZIM President & CEO, stated, “We are pleased with our strong second quarter performance, highlighted by outstanding strategic execution that led to record high carried volume, representing 11% growth year-over-year. The steps we have taken to upscale our capacity and enhance our cost structure continued to drive strong financial results. We generated net income of $373 million, as we drew on our differentiated strategy and agility while capitalizing on sustained market strength. Aligned with our prioritization of returning capital to shareholders, we declared a dividend of $0.93 per share, or $112 million, representing 30% of second quarter net income.”

Mr. Glickman added, “During the quarter, we benefitted from ZIM’s strategic decision to increase the Company’s spot market exposure in the Transpacific trade. This has enabled us to capture significant upside in a rate environment that has been elevated for longer than anticipated. We expect our results in the second half of 2024 to be better than in the first half of the year, driven by continued supply pressure from the Red Sea crisis, combined with current favorable demand trends. As a result, we have significantly increased our full year 2024 guidance and today forecast full year Adjusted EBITDA between $2.6 billion and $3.0 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $1.45 billion and $1.85 billion.”

Mr. Glickman concluded, “While market fundamentals still signal supply growth significantly outpacing demand, we are confident that we have built a resilient business with a transformed fleet. By year's end, our ongoing newbuild program will be complete, as we receive delivery of the remaining eight out of 46 modern, fuel-efficient containerships that we secured, including 28 LNG-powered vessels. We are on track to achieve our double-digit volume growth target in 2024 and well positioned to drive profitable growth ahead.”

Use of Non-IFRS Measures in the Company’s 2024 Guidance

A reconciliation of the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures included in its full-year 2024 guidance to corresponding IFRS measures is not available on a forward-looking basis. In particular, the Company has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT because the various reconciling items between such non-IFRS financial measures and the corresponding IFRS measures cannot be determined without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the future costs and expenses for which the Company adjusts, the effect of which may be significant, and all of which are difficult to predict and are subject to frequent change.

Updated Full-Year 2024 Guidance

The Company increased its guidance for the full year of 2024 and now expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA between $2.6 billion and $3.0 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $1.45 billion and $1.85 billion. Previously, the Company expected to generate Adjusted EBITDA between $1.15 billion and $1.55 billion and Adjusted EBIT between zero and $400 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following information contains, or may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements (as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company, may include projections of the Company’s future financial results, its anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in its business. These statements are only predictions based on the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events or results. There are important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to: market changes in freight, bunker, charter and other rates or prices (including as a result of the continued situation in the Red Sea), supply-demand fluctuations in the containerized shipping market, new legislation or regulation affecting the Company’s operations, new competition and changes in the competitive environment, our ability to achieve cost savings or expense reductions, the outcome of legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, global, regional and/or local political instability, including the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, the increased tension between Israel and Iran and its proxies, in particular the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, inflation rate fluctuations, capital markets fluctuations and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the caption “Risk Factors” in its 2023 Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 13, 2024.

Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform its prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as otherwise required by law.

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company presents non-IFRS measures as additional performance measures as the Company believes that it enables the comparison of operating performance between periods on a consistent basis. These measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for operating income, any other performance measures, or cash flow data, which were prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as measures of profitability or liquidity. Please note that Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account debt service requirements or other commitments, including capital expenditures, and therefore, does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available for the Company's use. In addition, the non-IFRS financial measures presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way these measures are calculated.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization in order to reach EBITDA, and further adjusted, as applicable, to exclude impairment of assets, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies.

Adjusted EBIT is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net and income taxes, in order to reach our results from operating activities, or EBIT, and further adjusted, as applicable, to exclude impairment of assets, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies.

7

---

Free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net cash generated from operating activities minus capital expenditures, net.

Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as face value of short- and long-term debt, minus cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments.  We refer to this measure as net cash when cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments exceed the face value of short- and long-term debt.

Net leverage ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net debt (see above) divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve-month period. When our net debt is less than zero, we report the net leverage ratio as zero.

See the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA and net cash generated from operating activities to free cash flow in the tables provided below.

Basis of compliance

 

(a)

Statement of compliance

 

These condensed consolidated unaudited interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for annual Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023 (hereafter – the “annual Financial Statements”). These condensed consolidated unaudited interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on August 19, 2024.

 

(b)

Estimates

 

The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the principal assumptions used in the estimation of uncertainty were the same as those applied in the annual Financial Statements.

 

3

Material accounting policies

 

(a)

The material accounting policies applied by the Group in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its annual Financial Statements.

 

(b)

Accounting standards issued not yet adopted IFRS 18, Presentation and disclosure in financial statements In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements. The new standard introduces new presentation and disclosure requirements, including a more structured presentation of the income statement, in which all income and expense items will be allocated to new distinct activity categories of operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, based on the main business activities as specified by each entity.

Material accounting policies (cont’d)

(b)

Accounting standards issued not yet adopted (cont’d) In addition, entities will be required to include in their Financial Statements certain management-defined performance measures (often referred to as Non-GAAP measures). The standard is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently assessing the expected effect of the new requirements. Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments) In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 (Financial instruments) and IFRS 7 (Financial instruments – Disclosures). The amendments provide clarifications for the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities, as well as for the classification of financial assets with contingent features. The amendments also add certain disclosure requirements for certain financial assets. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently assessing the expected effect of these amendments.

Financial position

 

(a)

The container shipping industry continues to be impacted by the supply and demand dynamics, as well as by uncertainties in the global trade, including the continuing disruption in the Red Sea, the implications of the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the inflation and elevated interest rates in certain countries, the trade limitations between the US and China and other geopolitical challenges. Those, among other things, contribute to the continuing volatility in freight rates, charter rates and bunker prices.

 

As of today, the war situation in Israel, which started in October 2023, has had no material impact on the Company’s head-office activities. However, those may be subject to temporary disruptions if this situation was to further escalate.

 

Since December 2023, many ocean carriers including the Company, paused their activities in the Red Sea, following attacks made against commercial vessels by armed organizations in Yemen. The Company continues to call ports in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as to operate services which previously crossed the Suez-canal, by re-routing its vessels around Africa. This disruption results in the extension of voyages duration, as well as leading to an increase in demand for vessel capacity, as additional vessels are operated in order to maintain the same frequency of services.

 

Further to the above, following decreases observed during 2022 and most of 2023, freight rates have increased towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 and continued to further increase during the first half of 2024.

 

In view of the aforementioned business environment and in order to constantly improve the Group’s results of operations and liquidity position, Management continues to optimize its network by considering, and when appropriate, implementing structural changes, participating in partnerships and cooperation agreements and by upgrading its customer’s offerings, whilst seeking operational excellence and cost efficiencies.

(b)

Charter agreements:

 

Further to the Company’s long-term agreements for the charter of new-build vessels, including 28 liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel vessels, as of today, 38 of such vessels have been delivered to the Company. Additional vessels related to these agreements are scheduled to be delivered to the Company in the course of 2024 (see also Note 26 to the Company’s annual Financial Statements).

 

In February 2024, the Company paid a total amount of approximately US$ 130 million for the exercise of a purchase option in respect of five chartered vessels.

(c)

In July 2024, the Company received a notice from the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), requesting the Company to provide certain information regarding its demurrage and detention practices vis-à-vis a number of its customers during the period of 2023 and through today. The Company is assessing this request for information, and at this preliminary stage is unable to assess its potential consequences, if any.

 

(d)

Dividends:

 

In June 2024, further to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company distributed dividends in amounts of US$ 28 million, reflecting US$ 0.23 per ordinary share.

 

In August 2024, in accordance with the Company’s dividend policy, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend distribution of approximately US$ 0.93 per ordinary share (or approximately US$ 112 million, considering the number of ordinary shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024). The dividend is scheduled to be paid on September 5, 2024, to all holders of ordinary shares on record as of August 29, 2024.
