CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING

STATEMENTS

Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities

Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to

encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking

statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or

performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of

historical facts.

We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of

1995 and are including this cautionary statement in connection therewith. This report and any other

written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which

reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance, and are not intended to

give any assurance as to future results. When used in this document, the words “believe,” “expect,”

“anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “seek”, “plan,” “target,” “project,” “potential”, “continue”, “contemplate”,

“possible”, “likely,” “may,” “might”, “will,” “would,” “could” and similar expressions, terms, or phrases may

identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations,

estimates, assumptions and projections about the business and our future financial results and readers

should not place undue reliance on them. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon

various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without

limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and

other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable

when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and

contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure

you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to important factors and matters discussed elsewhere in this report, and in the documents

incorporated by reference herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause our actual results and

developments to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements may include but

are not limited to:

•The strength of world economies and currencies;

•General market conditions, including but not limited to the market for crude oil and for our tankers,

fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values;

•The supply of and demand for vessels comparable to ours, including against the background of

possibly accelerated climate change transition worldwide which would have an accelerated negative

effect on the demand for oil and thus transportation;

•International sanctions, embargoes, import and export restrictions, nationalizations, piracy, terrorist

attacks and armed conflicts, including the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict

between Israel and Hamaz affecting the Red Sea;

•Availability of financing and refinancing, as well as the Company’s ability to obtain such financing or

refinancing in the future at acceptable rates as well as to comply with the restrictive and other

covenants in our financing arrangements;

•Our ability to secure available and future grants and subsidies;

•Our business strategy and other plans and objectives for growth and future operations, including

planned and unplanned capital expenditures;

financing;

These factors and the other risk factors described in this annual report and other reports that we furnish

or file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the SEC, are not necessarily all of the

important factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those

expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could

harm our results. Consequently, there can be no assurance that actual results or developments

anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected

consequences to, or effects on, us. These forward looking statements are made only as of the date of this

report. These forward looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and actual

results and developments may vary materially from those projected in the forward looking statements.

Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such

forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation, and specifically decline any obligation, except as

required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new

information, future events or otherwise. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned

not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation, and

specifically decline any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-

looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Note 1 - Reporting entity

Euronav NV (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Belgium. The address of the Company’s registered

office is De Gerlachekaai 20, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium. The condensed consolidated interim financial

statements ("interim financial statements") as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 comprise the

Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as Euronav or the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in

associates and joint ventures.

Note 2 - Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with lAS 34

Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS

annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial

statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 that have been prepared in accordance with

International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)

and as adopted by the European Union, collectively "IFRS".

Changes to and new significant accounting policies are described in Note 4.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Supervisory

Board on August 6, 2024.

Note 3 - Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and

liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key

sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial

statements with the exception of the judgement used for the non-current asset related to the Oceania

security deposit (see Note 20).

Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for

both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This

includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value

measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the CFO.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third

party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the

valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such

valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such

valuations should be classified. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group Audit and Risk

Committee.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as

possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used

in the valuation techniques as follows.

•Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,

either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

•Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable

inputs).

| CMB.TECH & Euronav | Financial Report 2024 | | --- | --- || 14 | | --- |

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels

of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level

of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting

period during which the change has occurred.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values are included in the following

notes:

•Note 8 - Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations and

•Note 18 - Financial Instruments

Note 4 - Changes in significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial

statements are consistent with those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and

for the year ended December 31, 2023, that have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

On January 4, 2024, Euronav Shipping NV paid the security deposit of USD 45.7 million to the High Court of

Malaya (Malaysia) as security for the release from arrestation. Considering that the deposit will either be

refunded or used to settle any potential future liability which gives the Group the rights to obtain future

economic benefits from it, the deposit qualifies as an asset and has been accounted for as a non-current

asset as per June 30, 2024 because Euronav doesn’t expect an outcome of the ongoing proceedings within

the year.

The Company entered on February 7, 2024 into a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of

the shares in CMB.TECH NV which was a transaction under common control for which the Company has

chosen to apply book value accounting. The Company had the option to restate the 2023 figures, adding

CMB.TECH as of November 22, 2023, the date CMB acquired Euronav, but elected not to restate its 2023

comparatives.

On April 18, 2024, the Group has purchased 10% of the shares in Anglo-Eastern Univan Group Limited and

has been accounted for as an investment with no significant influence at cost.

During the current financial period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and

Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International

Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB as adopted by the European Union and

effective for the accounting year starting on January 1, 2024. The Group has not applied any new IFRS

requirements that are not yet effective as per June 30, 2024.

The following new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments issued by the IASB and the IFRIC as

adopted by the European Union are effective for the financial period:

•Amendments to IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements for classification of liabilities as current or

non-current (issued January 2020)

•Amendments to IFRS 16: Leases to clarify how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and

leaseback transactions (issued September 2022)

•Amendments to IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements regarding the classification of debt with

covenants (issued October 2022)

•Amendments regarding disclosures for IAS 7: Cash Flow Statements and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments

relating to supplier finance arrangements  (issued May 2023)

The adoption of these new standards and amendments has not led to major changes in the Group’s

accounting policies.

Note 5 - Changes in consolidation scope

On February 7, 2024, Euronav held a Special Meeting of Shareholders to approve the purchase of 100% of

the shares of CMB.TECH NV for a total purchase price of USD 1.15 billion in cash (see Note 24). CMB.TECH

is a diversified and future-proof maritime group. CMB.TECH builds, owns, operates and designs large

marine and industrial applications that run on dual-fuel diesel-hydrogen and diesel-ammonia engines and

monofuel hydrogen engines. CMB.TECH offers hydrogen and ammonia fuel that it either produces or

sources from external produces to its customers. CMB.TECH is active throughout the full hydrogen value

chain through three different divisions: Marine, H2 infra and H2 Industry. The Company assessed the

accounting treatment of the acquisition and concluded that the transaction will be accounted for as a

common control transaction. Therefore IFRS 3 has not been applied.

On April 16, 2024, Euronav NV (“Euronav”) and Anglo-Eastern Univan Group (“Anglo-Eastern”) concluded a

Heads of Agreement for the sale and purchase of Euronav Ship Management Hellas (“ESMH”), Euronav’s

ship management arm. Euronav and Anglo-Eastern intend to join forces through this sale, with the latter

assuming ownership of ship management responsibilities for the vessels currently under ESMH on an “as

is” basis. This transaction will provide Anglo-Eastern with a strong local presence in the Greek market while

also greatly enhancing its footprint in large crude oil tankers. Post-integration, ESMH will become part of

Anglo-Eastern’s vast global network, offering the combined entity a wide range of growth opportunities in

different regions and ship types. The transaction has been concluded on June 18, 2024 and ESMH has

been deconsolidated from the Group as from that date. The Company realized a gain of USD19.7 million

on this sale and has been recognized under other operating income (see Note 9).

Besides the transactions as described above, no new subsidiaries were established or acquired, nor were

there any liquidations of subsidiaries.

Note 6 - Significant events

vessel was delivered to her new owner at January 10, 2024. The transaction has not been accounted for as

a sale due to the purchase obligation and has been considered as a finance arrangement accounted for

under other loans (see Note 16).

On February 6, 2024, the Company took delivery of Suezmax Bristol (2024 – 156,851 dwt).

On February 7, 2024, Euronav held a Special Meeting of Shareholders to approve the purchase of 100% of

the shares of CMB.TECH NV for a total purchase price of USD 1.15 billion in cash (see Note 5 and Note 24).

Note 7 - Segment reporting

The Group distinguishes three operating segments: the Marine division, the H2 Infra division and the H2

Industry division. These three divisions operate in different markets.

•Marine: the Marine division is the largest division in the Group. It builds, owns, operates and designs a

wide range of low and zero-carbon ships and  features a future-proof fleet with hydrogen-powered

vessels such as CTVs, ferries, CSOVs, and tugboats, alongside ammonia-powered large bulk carriers,

container ships, chemical and crude oil tankers. The marine division consists of 6 brands: Euronav,

Bocimar, Delphis, Bochem, Windcat, and Tugboats & Ferries.

•H2 Infra: the H2 Infra division is at the forefront of developing and securing the green molecule supply.

The company integrates and manages key technology and infrastructure for the production and

distribution of green hydrogen and ammonia.

•H2 Industry: H2 Industry is a leading provider of scalable dual-fuel industrial applications. Its proven

combustion technology enables the company to develop heavy-duty hydrogen-powered applications that

offer flexibility, robustness and cost-effectiveness.

The segment profit or loss figures and key assets as set out below are presented to the Chief Operating

Decision Maker (CODM) and the Management Board on at least a quarterly basis to help the key decision

makers in evaluating the respective segments. Following the acquisition of CMB.TECH in February 2024,

the markets in which the Group operates have expanded. Consequently, the Group has decided to update

its segment reporting to reflect these changes. Additionally, please note that the Floating Storage Units

(FSOs) have been incorporated into the marine segment under the Euronav brand name.

Note 8 - Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued

operations

Assets held for sale

As of December 31, 2023, the ULCC Oceania (2003 - 441,561 dwt) was accounted for as a non-current asset

held for sale and had a carrying value of USD 8.3 million. The vessel was delivered to its new owner on

January 15, 2024. Taking into account the sales commission, the net gain on this vessel amounts to

USD 34.8 million and was recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the first quarter of

2024.

On October 9, 2023, the Company announced the agreement between two reference shareholders CMB

NV ("CMB") and Frontline plc/Famatown Finance Ltd ("Frontline") on a transaction involving multiple

interdependent agreements. Part of the agreement included the sale of 24 VLCC tankers from the Euronav

fleet for a total of USD 2.35 billion. 13 VLCC tankers, that were part of the fleet sale to Frontline, have been

booked as a non-current asset held for sale (Alice, Anne, Aquitaine, Dominica, Desirade, Alboran, Aral,

Andaman, Hatteras, Delos, Doris, Derius and Camus) as of  December 31, 2023 for a total carrying value of

is accounted for as a non-current asset held for sale as at June 30, 2024 and has a carrying value of

USD 69.4 million. The net gain on the vessel amounts to USD 27.5 million and will be recognized upon

delivery to its new owners which is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2025.

On June 27, 2024, the Management Board formally decided to commit to a plan to sell Suezmax vessels

Statia (2006 - 150,205 dwt)  and Cap Felix (2008 - 158,765 dwt) and VLCC vessels Hakata (2010 - 302,550

dwt) and Ingrid (2012 - 314,000 dwt). An active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been

initiated and the vessels are actively marketed for sale in line with their fair values. It is expected to be

completed within a year from the decision and in line with IFRS 5, the assets are qualified and classified as

non-current assets held for sale for a total combined book value of USD 113.4 million as per June 30, 2024.

The Group sold the FAST platform to ZeroNorth during the fourth quarter of 2023. Taking into account the

The decrease in revenue is mostly related to the decrease in pool revenue which is mainly due to a lower number of vessels in the pool as per June 30, 2024

compared to the first six months of 2023. The difference can be explained by comparing the respective TCE rates and on hire days. The TCE rates and on hire days for

VLCCs were 45,600 USD/day and 2,564 on hire days for the first half year of 2024 compared to 53,100 USD/day and 6,977 on hire days for the first six months of 2023.

For Suezmax spot voyages, the TCE rates for first half year 2024 and 2023 were respectively 54,600 USD/day compared to 69,700 USD/day. The decrease in revenue is

partially compensated by the acquired vessels from CMB.TECH as per February 2024 active in the dry bulk segment. The increase in revenue from time charters of

tankers is due to a higher number of vessels on time charter and the acquisition of CMB.TECH vessels on time charter.

Other operating income includes revenues related to the daily standard business operation of the fleet and that are not directly attributable to an individual voyage.

The increase in other operating income is mainly due to the sale of Euronav Ship Management Hellas (see Note 5), received liquidated damages resulting from the

sale of the N-class vessels (Noble, Nectar and Newton) and to claim settlements.

Note 10 - Expenses for shipping activities

Voyage expenses and commissions

(in thousands of ) June 30, 2024 June 30, 2023
Commissions paid (9,158) (8,363)
Bunkers (59,270) (50,720)
Other voyage related expenses (17,475) (12,462)
Total voyage expenses and commissions (85,903) (71,545)

All values are in US Dollars.

The voyage expenses and commissions increased in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same

period in 2023 mainly due to an increase in bunker costs.

The increase in bunker cost and commissions paid in the first semester of 2024 is mainly due to the

integration of the CMB.TECH vessels as of February, 2024 and thus more vessels operating on the spot.

For vessels operated on the spot market, voyage expenses are paid by the shipowner while voyage

expenses for vessels under a time charter contract, are paid by the charterer. The 24 vessels sold and

delivered to Frontline do not have a significant impact on the voyage expenses since these were mainly

operating in the pool. Voyage expenses for vessels operated in a Pool, are paid by the Pool.

The majority of other voyage expenses are port costs and agency fees which are owner's expenses on

voyage charters. Port costs vary depending on the number of spot voyages performed and the number

and type of ports.

Insurance (7,200) (10,403)
Total vessel operating expenses (100,013) (118,017)

All values are in US Dollars.

The operating expenses relate mainly to the crewing, technical and other costs to operate vessels. Crewing

costs are related to crew wages, travel and victualling costs. Technical costs relate mainly to maintenance,

spare parts and forwarding costs. Other costs are mainly port cost and costs for certifications and

inspections. The decrease in operating expenses is  mainly related to the decrease of number of vessels in

the fleet during the first half of 2024 compared to 2023. This is mainly due to the 24 VLCCs that have been

sold and delivered to Frontline in course of the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. This is

partially offset by the integration of the CMB.TECH vessels as of February, 2024.

The general and administrative expenses which include amongst others: shore staff wages, director fees,

consulting and audit fees and tonnage tax, increased in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same

period in 2023.

The increase compared to 2023 was related to both an increase in administrative expenses and an

increase in employee benefits mainly due to the integration of CMB.TECH as per February, 2024.

Finance expense (69,396) (83,649)
Net finance expense recognized in profit or loss (45,980) (60,144)

Interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortized cost decreased in the first six months of

2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease was related to a decrease in interest expenses

on bank loans due to a lower average outstanding debt in 2024 compared to the same period last year

mainly due to the sale of the 24 vessels to Frontline.

Change in fair value of fuel derivatives recognized in P&L is attributable to a decrease in expenses related

to swaps, mainly on the commodity swaps or futures in connection with the Company's low sulfur fuel oil

program for which hedge accounting could not be applied, resulting in a net impact for first half year 2023

of USD 3.2 million. These fuel derivatives were used to hedge the purchased fuel on board of the ULCC

Oceania against a price decrease. In November 2023, management decided to discontinue the bunker

storage and offloading program and sold the ULCC Oceania. As a consequence, there is no longer an

active fuel hedging program during 2024.

Interest leasing is the interest on lease liabilities.

Impairment

Vessels

The Group defines its cash generating unit as a single vessel, unless such vessel is operated in a pool, in

which case such vessel, together with the other vessels in the pool, are collectively treated as a cash

generating unit. The carrying amounts of The Group’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting

date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s

recoverable amount is estimated.

In accordance with IAS 36, the Group has updated its review of various internal and external indicators

performed as of December 31, 2023 to determine whether there were indications that vessels in the

marine segment were impaired as of June 30, 2024.

The following are examples of internal indications of impairment that are considered in assessing whether

indicator-based impairment testing is necessary:

1.the obsolescence or physical damage of an asset;

2.significant changes in the extent or manner in which an asset is (or is expected to be) used that have

(or will have) an adverse effect on the entity;

3.a plan to dispose of an asset before the previously expected date of disposal;

4.indications that the performance of an asset is, or will be, worse than expected;

5.cash flows for acquiring the asset, operating or maintaining it that are significantly higher than

originally budgeted;

6.net cash flows or operating profits that are lower than originally budgeted; and

7.net cash outflows or operating losses. [IAS 36.12(e)–(g), 14]

The following are examples of external indications of impairment that are considered in assessing

whether indicator-based impairment testing is necessary:

1.market capitalization below net asset value;

2.a significant and unexpected decline in market value;

3.significant adverse effects in the technological, market, economic or legal environment;

4.increases in market interest rates

After analyzing the potential impairment indicators and considering the strong performance in the first

half of 2024, the positive outlook for the second half of 2024 and beyond, the current share price and the

fair market values of the fleet, the Company conclude that there are no indications of impairment.

Consequently, we have determined that no further impairment testing is required.

Security

All vessels financed with bank loans are subject to a mortgage to secure bank loans (see Note 16).

In connection with the acquisition in 2022 of the remaining 50% in TI Asia and TI Africa, a part of the price

paid was related to an intangible asset (customer contracts with NOC for the service part, i.e. recharge of

opex, maintenance and crew). Management estimated the fair value of the intangible asset related to the

service component of the NOC contract, resulting in a value of USD 16.6 million at May 31, 2022. This

amount will be depreciated till the end of the contractual service, or until July 21, 2032 and September 21,

2032 respectively.

The Group, trough the long term charter parties with Valero for two Suezmaxes (Cap Quebec and Cap

Pembroke), entered on March 28, 2018 and April 20, 2018, in two IRSs for a combined notional value of

USD 86.8 million. These IRSs are used to hedge the risk related to the fluctuation of the Libor rate and

qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship under IFRS 9. These instruments have

been measured at their fair value; effective changes in fair value have been recognized in OCI and the

ineffective portion has been recognized in profit or loss. These IRSs are matching the repayment profile of

the underlying USD 173.6 million facility. On November 9, 2023 these hedges have been unwound due to

the repayment of the underlying facility and have been recognized in profit or loss.

As part of the fuel hedging program, the Group entered during 2023 into several commodity swaps and

futures in connection with its low sulfur fuel oil project for a combined notional value of USD 72.2 million.

These swaps are used to hedge a potential increase in the index underlying the price of low sulfur fuel

between the purchase date and the delivery date of the product, i.e. when title to the low sulfur fuel is

actually transferred. These instruments do not qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge

relationship under IFRS9. The changes in fair value are directly recognized in profit or loss. In November

2023, management decided to discontinue the bunker storage and offloading program and sold the ULCC

Oceania. As a consequence, there is no longer an active fuel hedging program during 2024.

Cap Port Arthur), entered on October 26, 2020 in two IRSs for a combined notional value of USD

70.1 million with effective date in 2021. These IRSs are used to hedge the risk related to the fluctuation of

the Libor rate and qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship under IFRS 9. These

instruments have been measured at their fair value; effective changes in fair value have been recognized

in OCI and the ineffective portion has been recognized in profit or loss. These IRSs are matching the

repayment profile of the underlying USD 173.6 million facility. On November 9, 2023 these hedges have

been unwound due to the repayment of the underlying facility and have been recognized in profit or loss.

The Group entered in the second half of 2020 in six Interest Rate Swaps (IRSs) for a combined notional

value of USD 237.2 million with effective date in 2021. These IRSs are used to hedge the risk related to the

fluctuation of the Libor rate in connection with the new USD 713.0 million sustainability linked loan and

qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship under IFRS 9. These instruments have

been measured at their fair value; effective changes in fair value have been recognized in OCI and the

ineffective portion has been recognized in profit or loss. On November 9, 2023 these hedges have been

unwound due to the repayment of the underlying facility and have been recognized in profit or loss.

The group entered on January 26, 2022 into an interest rate swap agreement, in relation to the USD

73.45 million term loan which had been concluded for the acquisition of the Suezmaxes Cedar and Cypres

for a notional value of USD 73.45 million. This IRS is used to hedge the risk related to the fluctuation of the

Libor rate and qualifies as hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge relationship under IFRS 9. This

instrument has been measured at fair value; effective changes in fair value have been recognized in OCI

and the ineffective portion has been recognized in profit or loss. This IRS is matching the  repayment

profile of the underlying USD 73.45 million facility. On November 24, 2023 this hedge has been unwound

due to the repayment of the underlying facility and has been recognized in profit or loss.

The Group, in connection to the USD 150.0 million facility raised on June 21, 2022, entered into several

Interest Rate Swaps (IRSs) for a combined notional value of USD 109.4 million. These IRSs are used to

hedge the risk related to the fluctuation of the SOFR rate and qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow

hedge relationship under IFRS 9. These instruments have been measured at their fair value; effective

changes in fair value have been recognized in OCI and the ineffective portion has been recognized in profit

or loss. These IRSs are matching the repayment profile of the facility and mature on March 31, 2030. The

notional value of these instruments at June 30, 2024 amounted to USD 87.1 million. The fair value of these

instruments at June 30, 2024 amounted to USD 2.4 million (see Note 20 and 22) and USD 1.3 million has

been recognized in OCI in 2023.

The Group, in connection to the USD 447.0 million facility raised on December 6, 2022, entered into two

Interest Rate Swaps (IRSs) for a combined notional value of USD 70.0 million. These IRSs are used to hedge

The Group entered on August 22, 2022 into four Fx Swaps to hedge 20% of the short position for 2023 and

entered into several Fx Swap transactions during the first half 2023. These Fx Swaps are used to hedge the

risk related to the fluctuation of EUR/USD. The hedges qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge

relationship under IFRS 9. These instruments have been measured at their fair value; effective changes in

fair value have been recognized in OCI and the ineffective portion has been recognized in profit or loss.

The notional value of these instruments at June 30, 2023 amounted to USD9.0 million. The fair value of

these instruments at June 30, 2023 amounted to USD 0.5 million and USD (0.5) million has been

recognized in OCI in 2023. All these hedges matured in the 2nd half of 2023.

During first half 2023, the Group entered into several FX swap transactions to hedge the risk related to the

fluctuation of EUR/USD, as a large part of the operational expenses are euro expenses while the income

generated is in USD. The hedges qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship under

IFRS 9. These instruments have been measured at their fair value; effective changes in fair value have been

recognized in OCI and the ineffective portion has been recognized in profit or loss. The notional value of

these instruments at June 30, 2023 amounted to USD 22.0 million. The fair value of these instruments at

per share. This pay out was a combination of a dividend of USD 0.27 per share, subject to 30% withholding

tax and a share premium of USD 4.30 per share via the issue premium reserve. Of the share premium

distribution, USD 0.81 per share is subject to 30% withholding tax.

The total amount of dividends declared in the first six months of 2024 was USD 887.6 million and

USD 903.3 million was paid in the first six months of 2024.

Note 15 - Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share was based on a result attributable to ordinary shares and a

weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the six month period ended June of each

year, calculated as follows:

Result attributable to ordinary shares

June 30, 2024 June 30, 2023
Result for the period (in ) 679,620,307 336,866,321
Weighted average number of ordinary shares 197,886,375 201,828,035
Basic earnings per share (in ) 3.43 1.67

All values are in US Dollars.

Diluted earnings per share

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the diluted earnings per share (in USD) amount to 3.43 (2023:

1.67). As of January 1, 2024, the Company no longer has instruments that can give rise to dilution. At June

30, 2023 236,590 options issued under the LTIP 2015 were excluded from the calculation of the diluted

weighted average number of shares because these 236,590 options were out-of-the money and have been

considered as anti-dilutive, all LTIPs were terminated during the 2nd half of 2023 due to the change of

control.

Weighted average number of ordinary shares (diluted)

The table below shows the potential weighted number of shares that could be created if all stock options

and restricted stock units were to be converted into ordinary shares.

(in shares) June 30, 2024 June 30, 2023
Weighted average of ordinary shares outstanding (basic) 197,886,375 201,828,035
Effect of share-based payment arrangements 50,015
Weighted average number of ordinary shares (diluted) 197,886,375 201,878,050

There are no more remaining outstanding instruments at June 30, 2024 which can give rise to dilution. At

June 30, 2023, the Euronav stock options of the LTIP 2015 and the RSU's of the LTIP 2021 and LTIP 2022

could have give rise to dilution.

Other borrowings

On June 6, 2017, the Group signed an agreement with BNP to act as dealer for a Treasury Notes Program

with a maximum outstanding amount of 50 million Euro. On October 1, 2018, KBC was appointed as an

additional dealer in the agreement and the maximum amount was increased from 50 million Euro to

150 million Euro. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding amount was USD 79.4 million or 74.2 million Euro

(December 31, 2023: USD 87.8 million or 79.1 million Euro). The Treasury Notes are issued on an as

needed basis with different durations and initial pricing is set to 60 bps over Euribor. The Company enters

into FX forward contracts to manage the transaction risks related to these instruments issued in Euro

compared to the USD Group currency. The FX contracts have a same nominal amount and duration as the

issued Treasury Notes and they are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the

consolidated statement of profit or loss. On June 30, 2024, the fair value of these forward contracts

amounted to USD (0.3) million.

On December 4, 2023, Euronav entered into a sale and leaseback agreement for the Suezmaxes Cypres

(2022 – 157,310 dwt) and Cedar (2022 – 157,310 dwt), the last one delivered at January 10, 2024. The

vessels were sold and were leased back under a 14-year bareboat contract at a rate equal to an

amortization element of USD 13,590 per day per vessel and an interest element based on term SOFR plus

435 basis points, which can be reduced by the sustainability saving. The sustainability saving is a CII score

of A or B which will lead to a margin reduction of 10 basis points. In accordance with IFRS, this transaction

was not accounted for as a sale but Euronav as seller-lessee will continue to recognize the transferred

asset, and recognized a financial liability equal to the net transfer proceed of USD 153.8 million. As of June

30, 2024, the outstanding amount was USD 147.4 million in total. At the end of the bareboat contract, the

Company has a purchase obligation of USD 7.39 million per vessel. Euronav may, at any time on and after

the fourth anniversary, notify the owners the charterers' intention to terminate this charter on the

purchase option date and purchase the vessel from the owners for the applicable purchase option price.

The CMB.TECH Group has entered into a number of sale and leaseback arrangements in relation to its

newbuilding program, which also feature a pre-delivery finance component. The sale and leaseback

financing agreements have a term of between 10 and 15 years from the delivery of the respective vessels

and carry an interest rate of SOFR plus 2.00% to 4.21%. At the end of the bareboat contract, the Company

has a purchase option or a purchase obligation. As at June 2024, the outstanding balance under these

facilities was USD 344.5 million.

During the course of the year, the CMB.TECH Group entered into a 10-year sale and leaseback

arrangement for the financing of two dry bulk vessels to be built at Beihai Shipyard. The facility carries an

interest of SOFR plus 2.45% as from delivery of the respective vessels. Upon the conclusion of the

bareboat contract, the Company will have the option to purchase the vessel. As of June 30, 2024, the

facility is used for an amount of USD 6.4 million.

In accordance with IFRS, these transactions were not accounted for as a sale. However, the Group will

continue to recognise the transferred assets, and has recognised a financial liability equal to the net

transfer proceeds.

Following the acquisition of the CMB.TECH Group by Euronav in February 2024, the presentation of pre-

delivery financing as part of the sale and bareboat (post-delivery) financing has been thoroughly reviewed

to align accounting treatment and presentation. As this pre-delivery financing is inextricably linked to the

post-delivery financing, there is a right to defer the settlement for at least 12 months as at the reporting

date.

This is disclosed in the line item more than five years until the moment of delivery.

The future lease payments for these leaseback agreements are as follows:

Total current trade and other payables 94,219 124,013

The decrease in accrued expenses as per June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 is mainly due to

expenses related to vessels in drydock at year-end 2023, time charter in hire on Marlin Sardinia and Marlin

Somerset and an accrual related to severance pay on the Belgian flag vessels sold to Frontline at end of

  1. These have all been expensed during the first half year of 2024.

The decrease in dividends payable relates to the withholding tax payable at year-end 2023 on the dividend

pay out for coupon 36 settled in January, 2024.

Measurement of fair values

Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

Level 1 fair value was determined based on the actual trading of the unsecured notes, due in 2026, and the trading price on June 30, 2024. The following tables show

the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Financial instruments measured at fair value

Transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3

There were no transfers between these levels in 2023 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far

as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable

losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The sources of financing are diversified and the bulk of the loans are irrevocable, long-term and maturities are

spread over different years.

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

The Group has secured bank loans that contain loan covenants. A future breach of covenant may require the Group to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the

above table. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Group was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the debt agreements.

The interest payments on variable interest rate loans in the table above reflect market forward interest rates at the reporting date and these amounts may change as

market interest rates change. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the table above (the maturity analysis) could occur significantly earlier, or at

significantly different amounts than stated above.

Note 19 - Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Euronav NV and its subsidiaries had available combined cumulative tax losses and other tax credits

carried forward of USD 212.1 million and USD 114.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023,

respectively. Under current local tax laws, these loss carry forwards have an indefinite life and may be

used to offset future taxable income of Euronav NV and its subsidiaries.

The Company did not recognize deferred tax assets of USD 47.9 million and USD 28.6 million as of June 30,

2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that can be carried forward against future taxable income,

because it is not considered more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be utilized in the

foreseeable future.

The increase in cash guarantees and deposits as of June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 relates

to a cash security of USD 45.7 million lodged with the High Court of Malaysia in January, 2024. The cash

security equals the claimed amount and was required to lift the arrest on the vessel Oceania which was

subsequently sold and delivered to her new owners.

The lease receivables relate to the subleases of office space to third parties regarding the leased offices of

Euronav MI II Inc. (formerly Gener8 Maritime Inc.).

Note 21 - Inventory

The bunker inventory mainly relates to the bunker fuel stored on board of the vessels. As of June 30, 2024

the carrying amount of the bunker inventory on board of the vessels amounted to USD 22.1 million (2023:

USD 22.5 million). Bunkers delivered to vessels operating in the TI Pool, are sold to the TI Pool and bunkers

on board of these pooled vessels are no longer shown as bunker inventory but as trade and other

receivables.

The inventory on board of our vessels is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. No write down is

needed as long as the freight market remains robust offsetting potential higher weighted average

consumption costs of the bunker oil consumed from that inventory.

Bunker expenses and consumed lubricants are recognized in profit or loss upon consumption.

The other inventory amounts to USD 10.7 million and relates to trucks purchased to be converted into

hydrotrucks for resale and spare parts used for the conversion of regular engines to hydrogen powered

engines.

Note 22 - Trade and other receivables

(in thousands of USD) June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Receivable from contracts with customers 137,854 88,544
Receivable from contracts with customers - TI Pool 87,115 169,339
Accrued income 12,877 13,706
Accrued interest 835 1352
Deferred charges 35,426 17,601

Lease receivables 1,742 1,591
Derivatives 1,401 1,286
Total trade and other receivables 280,985 307,111

The increase in receivables from contracts with customers is primarily attributable to the outstanding

receivables resulting from the acquisition of CMB.TECH as of February 2024.

The receivables from contracts with customers - TI Pool relates to income to be received by the Group

from the Tankers International Pool. These amounts decreased in the first six months of 2024 mainly due

to a decreased number of vessels in the pool in following of the sale of 24 vessels to Frontline (see Note

12) compared to December 31, 2023.

The increase in deferred charges is mainly due to the acquisition and consolidation of CMB.TECH as per

February, 2024 and relates mainly to arrangement fees on predelivery financing of newbuild vessels.

Fulfillment costs represent primarily bunker costs incurred between the date on which the contract of a

spot voyage charter was concluded and the next load port. These expenses are deferred according to IFRS

15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and are amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the

pattern of transfer of service. The lease receivables relate to the subleases of office space to third parties

regarding the leased offices of  Euronav MI II Inc. (formerly Gener8 Maritime Inc.).

The derivatives as of June 30, 2024 relate to the fair market value of the Interest Rate Swaps in connection

with the USD 150 million facility (FSO Africa and FSO Asia).

The Group is currently involved in a litigation with RMK Maritime (RMK). RMK have commenced legal

proceedings in the London High Court against Euronav seeking USD 12,993,720 in damages in relation to

unpaid advisory services provided by RMK to Euronav concerning its merger with Gener8 in 2016 and

  1. Based on an external legal advice, management believes that it has strong arguments that the risk

of an outflow is less than probable and therefore no provision is recognized. The case will be heard in May

2025.

The Group is also involved in a claim from Fourworld. Fourworld has filed a claim against CMB NV and an

identical claim to Euronav NV as well as all parties concerned in the deal with Frontline. They want to

overturn the following 3 decisions; (1) the sale of 24 vessels from Euronav to Frontline, (2) the termination

of the arbitration between Euronav and Frontline and (3) the acquisition of CMB.TECH by Euronav.

Hearings will take place in May 2026. Management believes that Fourworld has no strong arguments and

evidence and that the risk for Euronav is low and therefore no provision is recognized.

Additionally, the Group is still involved in a litigation concerning the Oceania. A cash security of

USD 45.7 million has been lodged with the High Court of Malaysia in January, 2024 (see Note 20). There is

no change compared to December 31, 2023 with regards to the assessment of the case.

Note 24 - Business Combination

Euronav and CMB NV (“CMB”), its controlling shareholder, announced on December 22, 2023, that they

entered into a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares in CMB.TECH NV

(“CMB.TECH”) (the “Transaction”) for a purchase price of USD 1.15 billion in cash. CMB.TECH is a diversified

future-proof maritime group. CMB.TECH builds, owns, operates and designs large marine and industrial

applications that run on dual-fuel diesel-hydrogen and diesel-ammonia engines and monofuel hydrogen

engines. CMB.TECH offers hydrogen and ammonia fuel that it either produces or sources from external

produces to its customers.

CMB.TECH is active throughout the full hydrogen value chain through three different divisions: Marine, H2

infra, and H2 Industry. The value creation of the new strategy is driven by CMB.TECH’s “future-proof” fleet

of 106 vessels, of which 46 are under construction.

The Transaction fits into the Company’s renewed strategy of diversification, decarbonization and

accelerated optimization of the Company’s current crude oil tanker fleet. The parties believe that the

Transaction will lead to the creation of the leading, future proof shipping platform, with the Company

becoming the reference in sustainable shipping. CMB and Euronav believe that the addition of CMB.TECH

to Euronav’s business will enable a flywheel strategy – positioning the Group to tap into each step of the

energy transition towards low carbon shipping, with a clear vision on value creation for its shareholders.

Euronav’s older tanker tonnage provides excellent opportunities to recycle capital over time into more

future proof, attractive and diversified end-markets and contract types. In addition, Euronav’s current

customer portfolio is located at the centre of the energy transition and looking for low-carbon tanker

shipping services.

The transaction was approved by an Extraordinary General Meeting on February 7, 2024 and has been

completed on February 8, 2024.

The following table summarizes the recognized amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the

acquisition date.

(in thousands of )
Vessels 425,564
Assets under construction 478,235
Other tangible assets 23,650
Intangible assets 3,538
Investments in equity accounted investees 12,399
Receivables 16,514

Total identifiable net assets acquired 356,030
(in thousands of )
Consideration transferred 1,153,000
Total identifiable net assets acquired 356,030
796,970

All values are in US Dollars.

Current assets are comprised of trade debtors, inventory and deferred charges. Current liabilities are

primarily constituted by short-term loans and borrowings related to the newbuild program, trade debts

and accrued costs and deferred income related to the shipping activities.

The transaction has been considered as a transaction under common control and therefore IFRS 3 does

not apply. Hence book value accounting was applied which resulted in the recognition of an adjustment of

USD 797 million in retained earnings to reflect the difference between the consideration paid and the

identifiable net assets acquired.

Contribution to revenue and profit/loss

Since their acquisition by the Group, the acquired companies contributed revenue of USD 67.9 million and

a gain of USD 13.7 million to the Group’s consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2024. If

the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2024, management estimates that the Group’s consolidated

revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 would have been USD 501.7 million and consolidated

profit for the  six months period ended June 30, 2024 would have been USD 678.9 million.

Acquisition related costs

The Group incurred approximately USD 1.0 million of legal fees, mainly related to due diligence costs and

advisory fees. These acquisition-related costs for the business combination were expensed as incurred

and are included in 'General and administrative expenses'.
