Mikael Skov, CEO of Hafnia, commented:
I am delighted to announce that Hafnia in Q2 has once again delivered strong results, achieving a net profit of USD 259.2 million, bringing our total net profit in the first half of 2024 to USD 478.8 million.
This quarter marks our best performance since the beginning of 2023 and represents the strongest first-half results in our company’s history. Our adjacent fee-generating business segments have continued to thrive in this earning environment, contributing USD 10.7 million to our overall results in Q2.
At the end of the second quarter, our net asset value (NAV)^1^ stands at around USD 4.5 billion. This increase is primarily driven by the rising value of our vessels, resulting in a NAV per share of approximately ~USD 8.77 (NOK 93.31).
With these strong results and in line with our recent increase in the dividend payout ratio, I am pleased to announce a dividend payout ratio of 80% based on a net LTV of 21.3% attained in Q2.
With this, we will distribute a total of USD 207.4 million or USD 0.4049 per share in dividends. This marks the highest dividend payout in our company’s history for the second consecutive quarter, reinforcing our dedication to providing strong shareholder returns.
The product tanker market remained strong in the second quarter, despite ongoing volatility. Geopolitical tensions and disruptions in the Red Sea, along with continued refinery ramp-ups and dislocations, have contributed significantly to the increase in product tonne-mile demand.
The market outlook remains optimistic with elevated product tanker rates expected to continue for an extended period. This is primarily due to low global stockpiles, which have led to a substantial increase in refinery throughput and cargo flow. Additionally, the start of production at Nigeria’s Dangote refinery and the anticipated ramp-up in Chinese refineries by late 2024 are anticipated to further boost global refinery operations.
As of August 9, 2024, 72% of the Q3 earning days are covered at an average of USD 34,934 per day, and 45% covered at USD 33,534 per day for the remainder of 2024. This positions us for a strong quarter ahead, especially compared to Q3 of last year, which averaged USD 28,954 per day.
In July, one of our vessels, the Hafnia Nile, was unfortunately involved in a collision with a VLCC in the South China Sea. All 22 crew members of Hafnia Nile were safely rescued. Hafnia is currently collaborating with the Malaysian Marine Department (MMD) and the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore in their ongoing investigations concerning the nature of the collision.
As we conclude another quarter, I sincerely thank our partners and the exceptional team at Hafnia for their invaluable support in helping us achieve our goals. Looking ahead, we remain committed to navigating challenges with agility and seizing further opportunities to strengthen our market position.
^1^ NAV is calculated using the fair value of Hafnia’s owned vessels.
Fleet
At the end of the quarter, Hafnia’s fleet consisted of 117 owned vessels^1^ and 16 chartered-in vessels. The Group’s total fleet includes 10 LR2s, 35 LR1s (including three bareboat-chartered in and four time-chartered in), 64 MRs of which nine are IMO II (including three bareboat chartered in and 12 time-chartered in), and 24 Handy vessels of which 18 are IMO II (including seven bareboat-chartered in).
The average estimated broker value of the owned fleet was USD 4,811 million, of which the LR2 vessels had a broker value of USD 647 million^2^, the LR1 fleet had a broker value of USD 1,251 million^2^, the MR fleet had a broker value of USD 2,024 million^3^ and the Handy vessels had a broker value of USD 888 million^4^. The unencumbered vessels had a broker value of USD 389 million. The chartered-in fleet had a right-of-use asset book value of USD 24.1 million with a corresponding lease liability of USD
28.3 million.
^1^Including bareboat chartered in vessels; six LR1s and four LR2s owned through 50% ownership in the Vista Shipping Joint Venture and two MRs owned through 50% ownership in the H&A Shipping Joint Venture
^2^Including USD 345 million relating to Hafnia’s 50% share of six LR1s and four LR2s owned through 50% ownership in the Vista Shipping Joint Venture
^3^Including USD 52 million relating to Hafnia’s 50% share of two MRs owned through 50% ownership in the H&A Shipping Joint Venture; and IMO II MR vessels
^4^Including IMO II Handy vessels
Market
In the second quarter of 2024, the product tanker market continued to demonstrate strong earnings, primarily due to longer average sailing distances as vessels rerouted away from the Suez Canal to the Cape of Good Hope. Additionally, droughts in the Panama Canal and low diesel inventories in Europe contributed to a robust second quarter.
Consequently, Clean Petroleum Products (CPP) on water and tonne-miles reached new highs. This increase is driven by longer voyages, not only from the Middle East to the West but also across the Pacific. The disproportionate rise in tonne-miles compared to loaded volumes is largely due to the dislocation of refineries, with Eastern refineries increasingly supplying Atlantic consumers via Cape of Good Hope routing.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global oil demand growth slowed in the second quarter of 2024, with an increase of only 0.9 million barrels per day year-on-year. This deceleration was driven by a contraction in Chinese consumption, as the country’s post-pandemic economic recovery plateaued. However, global oil demand in the second quarter increased by 1.8 million barrels per day to 103.1 million per day, compared to the previous quarter.
The start of production at Nigeria’s Dangote refinery and the expected ramp-up in Chinese refineries by late 2024 is anticipated to further boost global refinery operations. The IEA forecasts that global refinery throughputs will increase by 0.8 million barrels per day to 83.3 million barrels per day in 2024.
Product tanker contracting activity continues to rise, with the orderbook-to-fleet ratio reaching approximately 20% for deliveries until 2028, as of August 2024. However, the average age of the global product tanker fleet is increasing, and we are observing a substantial reduction in utilization of about 30% for vessels over 20 years of age. LR2s account for over 50% of the tonnage to be delivered in the next few years, but historically 70% of the LR2 capacity delivered has been absorbed into dirty petroleum products trade. Additionally, there has been an increase in cannibalization from the crude sector due to the earnings differential between the sectors. However, with the crude tanker orderbook standing lower at approximately 9% and higher OPEC exports anticipated, crude rates are expected to rise, reducing the cannibalization effect from Q4 2024.
Looking ahead, the outlook for the product tanker market remains positive. Demand is expected to stay strong due to longer transport distances and the dislocation of refineries. Even if transits across the Red Sea resume, we believe any immediate negative impact is likely to be short-lived, as market fundamentals remain strong, and consistent with 2023 levels.

Non-IFRS Measures
Throughout this press release, we provide a number of key performance indicators used by our management and often used by competitors in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA
“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-IFRS financial measure and as used herein represents earnings before financial income and expenses, depreciation, impairment, amortization and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA additionally includes adjustments for gain/(loss) on disposal of vessels and/or subsidiaries, share of profit and loss from equity accounted investments, interest income and interest expense, capitalised financing fees written off and other finance expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements, such as lenders, to assess our operating performance as well as compliance with the financial covenants and restrictions contained in our financing agreements.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors by increasing comparability of our performance from period to period. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects of interest, depreciation, impairment, amortization and taxes. These are items that could be affected by various changing financing methods and capital structure which may significantly affect profit/(loss) between periods. Including Adjusted EBITDA as a measure benefits investors in selecting between investment alternatives.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of our financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect profit/(loss) and these measures may vary among other companies. Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to profit/(loss) for the financial period, the most comparable IFRS financial measure for the period ended 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023.

| Adjusted EBITDA | 317,083 | 261,558 | 604,135 | 557,571 |
Time charter equivalent (or “TCE”)
TCE (or TCE income) is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage charters and time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. We define TCE income as income from time charters and voyage charters (including income from Pools, as described above) for our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels less voyage expenses (including fuel oil, port costs, brokers’ commissions and other voyage expenses).
We present TCE income per operating day^1^, a non-IFRS measure, as we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with revenues, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, because it assists management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Our calculation of TCE income may not be comparable to that reported by other shipping companies.
^1^Operating days are defined as the total number of days (including waiting time) in a period during which each vessel is owned, partly owned, operated under a bareboat arrangement (including sale and lease-back) or time chartered-in, net of technical off-hire days. Total operating days stated in the quarterly financial information include operating days for TC Vessels.
Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures
The following table reconciles our revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels), the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, to TCE income per operating day.
| (in USD’000 except operating days and TCE income per operating day) | For the<br><br> <br>3 months ended<br><br> <br>30 June 2024 | For the<br><br> <br>3 months ended<br><br> <br>30 June 2023 | For the<br><br> <br>6 months ended<br><br> <br>30 June 2024 | For the<br><br> <br>6 months ended<br><br> <br>30 June 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) | 563,098 | 478,199 | 1,084,890 | 1,000,800 |
| Revenue (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools) | 268,064 | 222,743 | 531,165 | 316,700 |
| Less: Voyage expenses (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) | (145,739) | (128,851) | (288,729) | (274,260) |
| Less: Voyage expenses (External Vessels in Disponent-<br><br> <br>Owner Pools) | (84,270) | (77,010) | (168,483) | (119,761) |
| Less: Pool distributions (External Vessels in Disponent-<br><br> <br>Owner Pools) | (183,794) | (145,733) | (362,682) | (196,939) |
| TCE income | 417,359 | 349,348 | 796,161 | 726,540 |
| Operating days | 10,635 | 10,444 | 21,091 | 20,829 |
| TCE income per operating day | 39,244 | 33,449 | 37,750 | 34,882 |
Revenue, voyage expenses and pool distributions in relation to External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools nets to zero, and therefore the calculation of TCE income is unaffected by these items:
| (in USD’000 except operating days and TCE income per operating day) | For the<br><br> <br>3 months ended<br><br> <br>30 June 2024 | For the<br><br> <br>3 months ended<br><br> <br>30 June 2023 | For the<br><br> <br>6 months ended<br><br> <br>30 June 2024 | For the<br><br> <br>6 months ended<br><br> <br>30 June 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) | 563,098 | 478,199 | 1,084,890 | 1,000,800 |
| Less: Voyage expenses (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) | (145,739) | (128,851) | (288,729) | (274,260) |
| TCE income | 417,359 | 349,348 | 796,161 | 726,540 |
| Operating days | 10,635 | 10,444 | 21,091 | 20,829 |
| TCE income per operating day | 39,244 | 33,449 | 37,750 | 34,882 |
‘TCE income’ as used by management is therefore only illustrative of the performance of the Hafnia Vessels and the TC Vessels; not the External Vessels in our Pools.
For the avoidance of doubt, in all instances where we use the term “TCE income” and it is not succeeded by “(voyage charter)”, we are referring to TCE income from revenue and voyage expenses related to both voyage charter and time charter.

| I am delighted to announce that Hafnia in Q2 has once again delivered strong results, achieving a net profit of USD 259.2 million,<br> bringing our total net profit in the first half of 2024 to USD 478.8 million.<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>This quarter marks our best performance since the beginning of 2023 and represents the strongest first-half results in our company’s history. Our adjacent fee-generating<br> business segments have continued to thrive in this earnings environment, contributing USD 10.7 million to our overall results in Q2.<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>At the end of the second quarter, our net asset value (NAV)^1^ stands at around USD 4.5 billion. This increase is primarily driven by the rising value of our vessels, resulting in a NAV per share of approximately ~USD 8.77 (NOK 93.31).<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>With these strong results and in line with our recent increase in the dividend payout ratio, I am pleased to announce a dividend<br> payout ratio of 80% based on a net LTV of 21.3% attained in Q2.<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>With this, we will distribute a total of USD 207.4 million or USD 0.4049 per share in dividends. This marks the highest dividend payout in our company’s<br> history for the second consecutive quarter, reinforcing our dedication to providing strong shareholder returns. |
| --- |
The product tanker market remained strong in the second quarter, despite ongoing volatility. Geopolitical tensions and disruptions in the Red Sea, along with continued refinery ramp-ups and dislocations, have contributed significantly to the increase in product tonne-mile demand.
The market outlook remains optimistic with elevated product tanker rates expected to continue for an extended period. This is primarily due to low global stockpiles, which have led to a substantial increase in refinery throughput and cargo flow. Additionally, the start of production at Nigeria’s Dangote refinery and the anticipated ramp-up in Chinese refineries by late 2024 are anticipated to further boost global refinery operations.
As of August 9, 2024, 72% of the Q3 earning days are covered at an average of USD 34,934 per day, and 45% covered at USD 33,534 per day for the remainder of 2024. This positions us for a strong quarter ahead, especially compared to Q3 of last year, which averaged USD 28,954 per day.
In July, one of our vessels, the Hafnia Nile, was unfortunately involved in a collision with a VLCC in the South China Sea. All 22 crew members of Hafnia Nile were safely rescued. Hafnia is currently collaborating with the Malaysian Marine Department (MMD) and the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore in their ongoing investigations concerning the nature of the collision.
As we conclude another quarter, I sincerely thank our partners and the exceptional team at Hafnia for their invaluable support in helping us achieve our goals. Looking ahead, we remain committed to navigating challenges with agility and seizing further opportunities to strengthen our market position.

CEO Hafnia

Highlights – Q2 and H1 2024 CONTINUED
Market
In the second quarter of 2024, the product tanker market continued to demonstrate strong earnings, primarily due to longer average sailing distances as vessels rerouted away from the Suez Canal to the Cape of Good Hope. Additionally, droughts in the Panama Canal and low diesel inventories in Europe contributed to a robust second quarter.
Consequently, Clean Petroleum Products (CPP) on water and tonne-miles reached new highs. This increase is driven by longer voyages, not only from the Middle East to the West but also across the Pacific. The disproportionate rise in tonne-miles compared to loaded volumes is largely due to the dislocation of refineries, with Eastern refineries increasingly supplying Atlantic consumers via Cape of Good Hope routing.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global oil demand growth slowed in the second quarter of 2024, with an increase of only 0.9 million barrels per day year-on-year. This deceleration was driven by a contraction in Chinese consumption, as the country’s post-pandemic economic recovery plateaued. However, global oil demand in the second quarter increased by 1.8 million barrels per day to 103.1 million per day, compared to the previous quarter.
The start of production at Nigeria’s Dangote refinery and the expected ramp-up in Chinese refineries by late 2024 is anticipated to further boost global refinery operations. The IEA forecasts that global refinery throughputs will increase by 0.8 million barrels per day to 83.3 million barrels per day in 2024.
Product tanker contracting activity continues to rise, with the orderbook-to-fleet ratio reaching approximately 20% for deliveries until 2028, as of August 2024. However, the average age of the global product tanker fleet is increasing, and we are observing a substantial reduction in utilization of about 30% for vessels over 20 years of age. LR2s account for over 50% of the tonnage to be delivered in the next few years, but historically 70% of the LR2 capacity delivered has been absorbed into dirty petroleum products trade. Additionally, there has been an increase in cannibalization from the crude sector due to the earnings differential between the sectors. However, with the crude tanker orderbook standing lower at approximately 9% and higher OPEC exports anticipated, crude rates are expected to rise, reducing the cannibalization effect from Q4 2024.
Looking ahead, the outlook for the product tanker market remains positive. Demand is expected to stay strong due to longer transport distances and the dislocation of refineries. Even if transits across the Red Sea resume, we believe any immediate negative impact is likely to be short-lived, as market fundamentals remain strong, and consistent with 2023 levels.
Fleet
At the end of the quarter, Hafnia’s fleet consisted of 117 owned vessels^1^ and 16 chartered-in vessels. The Group’s total fleet includes 10 LR2s, 35 LR1s (including three bareboat-chartered in and four time-chartered in), 64 MRs of which nine are IMO II (including three bareboat chartered in and 12 time-chartered in), and 24 Handy vessels of which 18 are IMO II (including seven bareboat-chartered in).
The average estimated broker value of the owned fleet was USD 4,811 million, of which the LR2 vessels had a broker value of USD 647 million^2^, the LR1 fleet had a broker value of USD 1,251 million^2^, the MR fleet had a broker value of USD 2,024 million^3^ and the Handy vessels had a broker value of USD 888 million^4^. The unencumbered vessels had a broker value of USD 389 million. The chartered-in fleet had a right-of-use asset book value of USD 24.1 million with a corresponding lease liability of USD 28.3 million.
^1^ Including bareboat chartered in vessels; six LR1s and four LR2s owned through 50%
ownership in the Vista Shipping Joint Venture and two MRs owned through 50% ownership in the H&A Shipping Joint Venture

Cash and cash flows
Cash at bank and on hand^1^ amounted to USD 166.7 million as of 30 June 2024 (30 June 2023: USD 241.5 million).
Operating activities generated a net cash inflow of USD 300.7 million in Q2 2024 (Q2 2023: USD 185.5 million).
Cash flows from operating activities were principally utilised for vessel drydocking costs, repayments of borrowings and interest, and payment of dividends to shareholders.
Investing activities resulted in a net cash inflow of USD 7.6 million in Q2 2024 (Q2 2023: net cash outflow of USD 41.6 million).
Financing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of USD 262.3 million in Q2 2024 (Q2 2023: net cash outflow of USD 201.2 million).
Dividend policy
Hafnia will target a quarterly payout ratio of net profit, adjusted for extraordinary items, of:
| ● | 50% payout of net profit if Net loan-to-value is above 40%, |
|---|---|
| ● | 60% payout of net profit if Net loan-to-value is above 30% but equal to or below 40%, |
| --- | --- |
| ● | 80% payout of net profit if Net loan-to-value is above 20% but equal to or below 30%, and |
| --- | --- |
| ● | 90% payout of net profit if Net loan-to-value is equal to or below 20% |
| --- | --- |
Net loan-to-value is calculated as vessel bank and finance lease debt (excluding debt for vessels sold but pending legal completion), debt from the pool borrowing base facilities less cash at bank and on hand divided by broker vessel values (100% owned vessels).
The final amount of dividend is to be decided by the Board of Directors. In addition to cash dividends, the Company may buy back shares as part of its total distribution to shareholders.
In deciding whether to declare a dividend and determining the dividend amount, the Board of Directors will take into account the Group's capital requirements, including capital expenditure commitments, financial condition, general business conditions, legal restrictions, and any restrictions under borrowing arrangements or other contractual arrangements in place at the time.
Dividend for Q2
The board has set the quarterly payout ratio at 80% for Q2 2024.

Risk factors
The Group’s results are largely dependent on the worldwide market for transportation of refined oil products. Market conditions for shipping activities are typically volatile and, as a consequence, the results may vary considerably from year to year. The market in broad terms is dependent upon two factors: the supply of vessels and the demand for oil products. The supply of vessels depends on the number of newbuilds entering the market, the demolition of older tonnage and legislation that limits the use of older vessels or sets new standards for vessels used in specific trades. The demand side depends mainly on developments in global economic activity.
The Group is also exposed to risk in respect of increases in operating costs, such as fuel oil costs. Fuel oil prices are affected by the global political and economic environment. For voyage contracts, the current fuel costs are priced into the contracts. Other risks that Management takes into account are interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk. These risks, along with mitigation strategies, are further described in section 2.3 of the Annual Report 2023 and note 26 of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 2023 and are principal risks for the remaining six months of 2024.

Critical accounting judgements and estimates
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Accounting for pool arrangements
The Group is involved in two types of commercial pool arrangements: 1) pool arrangements that are managed by the Group under the “agent-to-owner” model, and 2) pool arrangements that are managed by the Group under the “disponent-owner” model (“Disponent-Owner Pools”).
For pool arrangements that are managed by the Group, Hafnia operates as a pool manager for eight commercial pools:
| (1) | Long Range II (“LR2”) Pool |
|---|---|
| (2) | Long Range I (“LR1”) Pool |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | Panamax Pool |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | Medium Range (“MR”) Pool |
| --- | --- |
18
| HAFNIA INTERIM-FINANCIAL-INFORMATION-Q2-AND-H1-2024 |

Note 4: Material accounting policies CONTINUED
| (5) | Handy size (“Handy”) Pool |
|---|---|
| (6) | Chemical handy size (“Chemical-Handy”) Pool |
| --- | --- |
| (7) | Chemical medium range (“Chemical-MR”) Pool |
| --- | --- |
| (8) | Specialized Pool |
| --- | --- |
The pools are managed by Hafnia through its pool management companies that are wholly owned subsidiaries, as the pool manager. There are separate pool agreements entered into between the pool manager and the relevant pool participants. The pool manager negotiates charters with customers primarily in the spot market, however it may also arrange short duration time charters.
The objective of the commercial pool set up is to facilitate the commercial operation, employment, and marketing of the pool’s vessels. This is achieved via the optimal utilisation of the pool vessels due to improved scheduling to reduce ballast legs and bulk purchase of goods and services for voyage expenses, thus creating economies of scale, improved flexibility, efficiency and price competitiveness. Shipowners contribute their vessels to the pool and the pool is managed by the pool manager under the authority of the Pool Board.
For pool arrangements under the “agent-to-owner” model, management has performed a key assessment to determine who is the principal and agent in these pool arrangements. Indicators that the Group, as the pool manager, is an agent in a pool arrangement are:
| • | Based on the pool agreements under the “agent-to-owner” model, the decisions over the relevant activities of the pool that are determined to significantly affect the pool’s returns are made by<br> the respective Pool Boards, which are represented by pool participants; |
|---|---|
| • | Although the pool manager makes decisions over the day-to-day operations of the pool, the pool manager only acts within the pre-defined mandates and authority limits set by the Pool Board, for<br> which the Pool Board’s approving rights are substantive; |
| --- | --- |
| • | The decisions of the pool manager are not for the relevant activities of the pool and the pool manager has limited discretion over pricing as the prices are highly dependent on the market<br> published price for charter contracts; |
| --- | --- |
| • | The pool manager is only given authority to decide on the prices with the objective of efficient pool management; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | The Pool Board’s decisions have practical ability to prevent the pool manager from directing the pool’s relevant activities and exercising power on its own behalf. |
| --- | --- |
The Group has evaluated that it has limited control as the pool manager and is hence an agent in the respective commercial pool arrangements. In such arrangements, the Group as the pool manager does not consolidate the pools. Instead, the Group only recognises the pool management fees as other operating income. On the balance sheet, the Group recognises the pool’s assets and liabilities over which the Group, as pool manager, has legal rights and obligations respectively. This includes all cash balances of the pool as the pool bank accounts are opened in the name of the pool manager; and trade payables (other than those relating to fuel oil) for which contracts are entered into in the name of the pool manager.

Note 4: Material accounting policies CONTINUED
As the shipowner that places its own vessels in the pools, the Group recognises the gross revenue and voyage expenses earned pertaining to its vessels placed in the pools; and adjustments due to pool allocations recognised separately as “pool allocated gain/loss”. These adjustments relate to revenue from time charters and voyage charters less voyage expenses comprising primarily brokers’ commission, fuel oil and port charges. On the balance sheet, the Group recognises the assets and liabilities over which the Group, as shipowners, has legal rights and obligations respectively. This includes the trade receivables from end charterers for which the contracts are entered into in its own name as shipowners; and fuel oil as inventory and its corresponding payables, as the pool manager purchases fuel oil as an agent on behalf of shipowners based on the contractual terms of the Pool Agreements under the “agent-to-owner” model and the shipowner having the primary responsibility for the fuel oil obligations.
During the financial year ended 31 December 2023, the Group changed the Handy Pool, MR Pool, LR1 Pool and LR2 Pool from the “agent-to-owner” model to the “disponent-owner” model, as management believes that it would lead to an improvement in operating efficiency and access to working capital facilities.
For pool arrangements under the “disponent-owner” model (“Disponent-Owner Pools”), the key changes in the pool agreements from the “agent-to-owner” model are:
| • | Establishing a time-charter arrangement for the vessels in the Disponent-Owner Pools between the pool participants and the pool manager; |
|---|---|
| • | The pool manager, as the “disponent-owner” of the vessels, has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessels in the Disponent-Owner Pools, as the<br> pool manager is the contractual and legal entity who charters in vessels from the pool participants and subsequently charters out the vessels to the external charterers under its own name as the “disponent-owner”; |
| --- | --- |
| • | The pool manager, as the “disponent-owner” of the vessels, also has the right to direct the use of the vessels in the Disponent-Owner Pools, including having the right to direct how and for<br> what purpose the vessels will be used; |
| --- | --- |
The Group has evaluated that the time-charter arrangement constitutes a lease under IFRS 16 – Leases to the pool manager of the Disponent-Owner Pools. Correspondingly, management has assessed that the rights conferred from the pool agreements under the “disponent-owner” model provided the pool manager with the control of a right to a service to be performed using the vessels in the Disponent-Owner Pools for which it has control over, for the end charterers and hence allowing the pool manager to recognise the revenue as a principal in line with IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
In such arrangements, the Group as the pool manager recognises the gross revenue and voyage expenses earned pertaining to the vessels placed by the Group in the Disponent-Owner Pools as “Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels)” and “Voyage expenses (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels)” respectively, and adjustments due to pool allocations recognised separately as “pool allocated gain/loss”; the gross revenue and voyage expenses earned pertaining to the external vessels placed by pool participants other than the Group in the Disponent-Owner Pools as “Revenue (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools)” and “Voyage expenses (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools)” respectively; and expenses relating to pool distributions to external pool participants other than the Group in the Disponent-Owner Pools separately as “Pool distributions for External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools”.
On the balance sheet, the Group recognises the pool’s assets and liabilities over which the Group, as pool manager, has legal rights and obligations respectively. This includes all cash balances of the pool as the pool bank accounts are opened in the name of the pool manager; all trade receivables from end charterers for which contracts are entered into in the name of the pool manager as the “disponent-owner”; the trade payables for which contracts are entered into in the name of the pool manager; and fuel oil as inventory and its corresponding payables, as the pool manager purchases fuel oil as the “disponent owner” of the vessels based on the contractual terms of the Pool Agreements under the “disponent-owner” model.

Identification of cash-generating units
The Group organizes the commercial management of the fleet of vessels into eight individual commercial pools: LR2, LR1, Panamax, MR, Handy, Chemical-MR, Chemical-Handy and Specialised. For the financial period ended 30 June 2024, there are no Hafnia Vessels or TC Vessels in the Specialised Pool. The Group has assessed that each individual commercial pool constitutes a separate cash-generating unit (“CGU”). This is due to 1) the vessels in each individual pool generating cashflows that are largely interdependent with each other, as the pool arrangements create operational dependencies between vessels in each segment as the pool manager is able to deploy all the vessels to gain efficiencies for the entire fleet of vessels in the pool ; 2) the decisions of the pool manager are made solely for the benefit of the entire commercial pool and not for individual vessels; and 3) each individual pool is managed on a portfolio basis to optimise performance and for internal and external management reporting.
Time-chartered in vessels which are recognised as ROU assets by the Group and subsequently deployed in the commercial pools are included as part of the respective commercial pool CGUs based on the above assessment. For vessels outside the commercial pools and deployed on a time-charter basis, each of these vessels constitutes a separate CGU.
Impairment/reversals of impairment of non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired or a reversal of previously recognised impairment charge may be required. The recoverable amount of an asset, and where applicable, a cash-generating unit (“CGU”), is determined based on the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use calculations prepared on the basis of management’s assumptions and estimates.
All impairment calculations demand a high degree of estimation, which include assessments of the expected cash flows arising from such assets under various modes of deployment, and the selection of discount rates. Changes to these estimates may significantly impact the impairment charges recognised, and future changes may lead to reversals of any previously recognised impairment charges. The Group views that the forecast of future freight rates, representing the main driver of recoverable amounts of the Group’s vessels to be inherently difficult to estimate. This is further complicated by the volatility in oil prices caused by geopolitics and macroeconomic forces, together with the cyclical nature of freight rates prevailing in the tankers market.
Vessel life and residual value
The Group depreciates the vessels on a straight-line basis after deduction of residual values over the ship’s estimated useful life of 25 years, from the date the ship was originally delivered from the shipyard. Dry docking costs are generally depreciated over 2.5 to 5 years depending on the age and serviceability of the vessels. Residual value is estimated as the lightweight tonnage of each vessel multiplied by the scrap value. The residual values of the vessels are reassessed by management at the end of each reporting period based on the prevailing and historical steel prices.
The useful life and residual value are critical accounting estimates as they directly impact the amount of depreciation expense to be presented in the financial statements. Due to the size of the Group’s fleet of owned vessels, the impact could be material depending on the estimates adopted by Management.

| a. | The Group organises the commercial management of the fleet of product tanker vessels into eight (2023: seven) individual commercial pools: LR1, Panamax, LR2, MR, Handy, Chemical-MR,<br> Chemical-Handy and Specialized (2023: LR1, LR2, MR, Handy, Chemical-MR, Chemical-Handy and Specialized). Each individual commercial pool constitutes a separate cash-generating unit (“CGU”). For vessels deployed on a time-charter basis<br> outside the commercial pools, each of these vessels constitutes a separate CGU. | ||||
| --- | --- |
Management is required to assess whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these CGUs may not be recoverable. Management measures the recoverability of each CGU by comparing its carrying amount to its ‘recoverable value’, being the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal or value in use (“VIU”) based on future discounted cash flows that the CGU is expected to generate over its remaining useful life.

Note 10: Share-based payment arrangements
The Company operates equity-settled, share-based long term incentive plans (“LTIP”) in which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (share options) in the group; and grants restricted share units (“RSUs”) to employees in which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (share units) in the group.
Share option programme (equity-settled)
On 16 April 2024, the Company awarded a total of 2,032,414 share options to key management and senior employees under the LTIP 2024 share option program. These share options will vest on 16 April 2027 at an exercise price of NOK 89.68. The vesting condition of the granted options is 3 years’ service from grant date.

All share options and share units are to be settled by physical delivery of shares and will become void if the employee rescinds their position before the vesting date. The fair value of services received in return for share options granted is based on fair value of share options granted, measured using the Black-Scholes model. The following inputs were used in the measurement of the fair values at respective grant dates of the share options.

The Group has no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. These financial instruments are included in Level 2, as all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

Note 11: Financial information CONTINUED
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. The assessment of the fair value of investments in unquoted equity instruments is performed on a quarterly basis based on the latest available data that is reasonably available to the Group.
Level 3 fair values
The Group’s investment in unquoted equity instruments measured at FVOCI using Level 3 fair value measurements were valued using market approach based on the Group’s best estimate, which is determined by using information including but not limited to the pricing of recent rounds of financing of the investees and information generated from arm’s-length market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The estimated fair value of the investments would either increase or decrease based on the latest available data that is reasonably available to the Group at each reporting date.
The following table shows a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances of the Group’s investment in unquoted equity instruments measured at FVOCI using Level 3 fair value measurements:

On 11 July 2024, Hafnia refinanced its existing 106m DSF facility into the 84m DSF facility.
On 16 July 2024, Hafnia sold the LR1 vessel, Hafnia Thames, to an external party.
On 19 July 2024, Hafnia Nile was involved in a collision with another vessel which resulted in the vessel being damaged and unable to trade. Management has assessed that the damage suffered by the vessel will be covered by insurance and no provisions are necessary. The vessel is expected to be on off-hire until the end of the year. As the incident took place after the reporting period, this is a non-adjusting event for the purpose of this Interim Financial Information.
On 20 August 2024, Hafnia sold the MR vessel, Hafnia Pegasus, to an external party.

Note 17: Non-IFRS measures
Throughout this Interim Financial Information Q2 and H1 2024, we provide a number of key performance indicators used by our management and often used by competitors in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA
“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-IFRS financial measure and as used herein represents earnings before financial income and expenses, depreciation, impairment, amortization and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA additionally includes adjustments for gain/(loss) on disposal of vessels and/or subsidiaries, share of profit and loss from equity accounted investments, interest income and interest expense, capitalised financing fees written off and other finance expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements, such as lenders, to assess our operating performance as well as compliance with the financial covenants and restrictions contained in our financing agreements.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors by increasing comparability of our performance from period to period. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects of interest, depreciation, impairment, amortization and taxes. These are items that could be affected by various changing financing methods and capital structure which may significantly affect profit/(loss) between periods. Including Adjusted EBITDA as a measure benefits investors in selecting between investment alternatives.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of our financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect profit/(loss) and these measures may vary among other companies. Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to profit/(loss) for the financial period, the most comparable IFRS financial measure for the period ended 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023.
| For the 3 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2024<br><br> <br>USD’000 | For the 3 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2023<br><br> <br>USD’000 | For the 6 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2024<br><br> <br>USD’000 | For the 6 months <br><br> ended 30 June 2023<br><br> <br>USD’000 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profit for the financial period | 259,197 | 213,267 | 478,768 | 469,902 |
| Income tax expense | 1,572 | 1,513 | 3,315 | 3,436 |
| Depreciation charge of property, plant and equipment | 54,595 | 51,545 | 108,388 | 103,206 |
| Amortisation charge of intangible assets | 251 | 323 | 587 | 655 |
| Loss/(gain) on disposal of assets | 100 | (19,828) | 100 | (56,515) |
| Share of profit of equity-accounted investees, net of tax | (8,553) | (5,140) | (15,842) | (10,962) |
| Interest income | (4,479) | (5,515) | (7,284) | (10,424) |
| Interest expense | 13,215 | 21,509 | 29,042 | 50,709 |
| Capitalised financing fees written off | – | – | 1,663 | – |
| Other finance expense | 1,185 | 3,884 | 5,398 | 7,564 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | 317,083 | 261,558 | 604,135 | 557,571 |
Time charter equivalent (or “TCE”)
TCE (or TCE income) is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage charters and time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. We define TCE income as income from time charters and voyage charters (including income from Pools, as described above) for our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels less voyage expenses (including fuel oil, port costs, brokers’ commissions and other voyage expenses).

Note 17: Non-IFRS measures CONTINUED
We present TCE income per operating day^1^, a non-IFRS measure, as we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with revenues, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, because it assists management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Our calculation of TCE income may not be comparable to that reported by other shipping companies.
Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures
The following table reconciles our revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels), the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, to TCE income per operating day.
| (in USD’000 except operating days and TCE income per operating day) | For the 3 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2024 | For the 3 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2023 | For the 6 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2024 | For the 6 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) | 563,098 | 478,199 | 1,084,890 | 1,000,800 |
| Revenue (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools) | 268,064 | 222,743 | 531,165 | 316,700 |
| Less: Voyage expenses (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) | (145,739) | (128,851) | (288,729) | (274,260) |
| Less: Voyage expenses (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools) | (84,270) | (77,010) | (168,483) | (119,761) |
| Less: Pool distributions (External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools) | (183,794) | (145,733) | (362,682) | (196,939) |
| TCE income | 417,359 | 349,348 | 796,161 | 726,540 |
| Operating days | 10,635 | 10,444 | 21,091 | 20,829 |
| TCE income per operating day | 39,244 | 33,449 | 37,750 | 34,882 |
Revenue, voyage expenses and pool distributions in relation to External Vessels in Disponent-Owner Pools nets to zero, and therefore the calculation of TCE income is unaffected by these items:
| (in USD’000 except operating days and TCE income per operating day) | For the 3 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2024 | For the 3 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2023 | For the 6 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2024 | For the 6 months<br><br> <br>ended 30 June 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) | 563,098 | 478,199 | 1,084,890 | 1,000,800 |
| Less: Voyage expenses (Hafnia Vessels and TC Vessels) | (145,739) | (128,851) | (288,729) | (274,260) |
| TCE income | 417,359 | 349,348 | 796,161 | 726,540 |
| Operating days | 10,635 | 10,444 | 21,091 | 20,829 |
| TCE income per operating day | 39,244 | 33,449 | 37,750 | 34,882 |
‘TCE income’ as used by management is therefore only illustrative of the performance of the Hafnia Vessels and the TC Vessels; not the External Vessels in our Pools.
For the avoidance of doubt, in all instances where we use the term “TCE income” and it is not succeeded by “(voyage charter)”, we are referring to TCE income from revenue and voyage expenses related to both voyage charter and time charter.
^1^ Operating days are defined as the total number of days (including waiting time) in a period during which each vessel is owned, partly owned, operated under a bareboat arrangement (including sale and lease-back) or time chartered-in, net of technical off-hire days. Total operating days stated in the quarterly financial information include operating days for TC Vessels.
