HIGHLIGHTS
“In the second quarter of 2022, TORM realized TCE rates which were more than twice as high as in the
same period of 2021, resulting in an EBITDA of USD 153m and a profit before tax of USD 107m. This enables TORM to distribute USD 47m to our shareholders as dividends,” says Executive Director Jacob Meldgaard, and continues “The market has continued
to improve into the third quarter of 2022, and so, far we have achieved rates which are more than three times as high as those we achieved in the third quarter of 2021.”|

VESSEL TRANSACTIONS
|
TORM has utilized the high second-hand prices to divest seven of the oldest vessels in our fleet from late 2021 until the end of Q2 2022. The vessels were sold at
an average age of 18 years and have added USD 62.8m in liquidity after debt repayment.
|
|
During Q2 2022, TORM entered into agreements to sell two of our oldest vessels, the 2003-built LR2 vessels (TORM Ingeborg and TORM Valborg). TORM delivered four
previously sold vessels including TORM Gudrun (LR2 vessel), TORM Emilie (LR1 vessel), TORM Horizon (MR vessel) and TORM Tevere (Handysize vessel) to their new owners during Q2 2022 and TORM Gyda (Handysize vessel) in July 2022. Six vessels
were held for sale at the end of Q2 2022.
|
|
|
After the end of Q2 2022, TORM entered into an agreement to sell the 2003-built MR vessel (TORM Moselle). TORM Moselle is expected to be delivered to its new owner
during Q3 2022. TORM took delivery of the second-hand LR2 vessel (TORM Hannah), the vessel was purchased in April 2022. TORM Hannah was financed by a sale and leaseback agreement. The purchase of TORM Hannah was highlighted in the Q1 2022
report. TORM Valborg and TORM Ingeborg were delivered to their new owners during July 2022 and August 2022, respectively.

COMPANY ACQUISITION
|
After the end of the quarter and as announced on 16 August 2022, TORM purchased 75% of the shares in Marine Exhaust Technology A/S, a Danish-based company owning ME
Production A/S (“MEP”), which among others produces solutions to reduce air pollutants in connection with marine transportation. With the acquisition TORM gets access to strong expertise in - and access to sourcing of - developing and
producing components for the maritime industry. TORM has an extensive historical relationship with MEP, which has provided TORM with most of the scrubbers installed on our vessels.
|
|
LIQUIDITY
|
As of 30 June 2022, TORM’s available liquidity was USD 240.4m consisting of USD 157.7m in cash and cash equivalents, USD 45.0m in an undrawn credit
facility and USD 37.7m in an available lease facility. Cash and cash equivalents include USD 24.4m in restricted cash, primarily related to collateral for financial instruments. As of 30 June 2022, net interest-bearing debt amounted to USD
894.0m (half year 2021: USD 889.5m), and TORM's net loan-to-value (LTV) ratio was 42.5% (half year 2021: 53.9%).
|
|
DISTRIBUTIONS
|
TORM’s Board of Directors has approved an interim dividend for Q2 2022 of USD 0.58 per share, with an expected total dividend of USD 47m. Payment is expected on 16
September 2022, with ex-dividend date on 31 August 2022. The distribution is in line with TORM’s Distribution Policy with cash position (USD +157.7m), Working Capital Facility (USD +45.0m), restricted cash (USD -24.4m) and earmarked proceeds
(USD -24.2m) and a correction for the sale of a vessel made in Q2 2022, with the payment not falling until early Q3 2022 (USD +13.5m). Distribution is aligned with TORM’s new Distribution Policy applying earmarked proceeds starting from May
2022 and is based on 80 owned vessels and a threshold level of USD 120m (USD 1.5m per vessel).
|
|
MARKET CONDITIONS
|
The product tanker market continued to see strong support from the normalization in the oil demand, after the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition the market was
supported by the trade recalibration caused by sanctions and self-sanctioning of Russian product exports as a consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Recent changes in the refinery landscape further supported the market, and the
average MR benchmark in June 2022 reached the highest monthly level since 2006, further firming in July 2022. Global inventories remain at low levels. Earliest possible delivery of newbuilding product tanker vessels is 2024/25 and the order
book remains at about 5% of the existing fleet, which is historically low.
|
|
OPERATIONAL UPDATE
|
TORM has maintained the commitment we made when Russia invaded Ukraine to suspend all new business with Russia. Further TORM has not experienced any critical
incidents or situations due to the invasion, meaning that the safety of our seafarers has been unaffected. Despite the fact that many countries have lifted their COVID-19 restrictions, TORM is still impacted by restrictions primarily in
countries that follow a zero-COVID-19 policy, such as China, leading to more complex operational planning.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENTS AS TO THE FUTURE
Matters discussed in this release 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 reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may 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. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”,
“estimate”, “forecast”, “project”, “plan”, “potential”, “may”, “should”, “expect”, “pending” and similar expressions or phrases may identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are, in turn, based 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 the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these
assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, the Company cannot guarantee that it will achieve these expectations, beliefs or
projections.
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
|
|
statements include, but are not limited to, the strength of the world economy and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter hire rates
and vessel values, the duration and severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on the demand for petroleum products and the seaborne transportation of these and the ability to change crew and operate a vessel with
COVID-19 infected crew, the operations of our customers and our business in general, the failure of our contract counterparties to meet their obligations, changes in demand for “ton-miles” of oil carried by oil tankers and changes in demand
for tanker vessel capacity, the effect of changes in OPEC’s petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled dry-docking,
changes in TORM’s operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, changes in the regulation of shipping operations, including actions taken by regulatory authorities including but not limited to CO2 tariffs or
trade tariffs , potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, weather, political events including “trade wars”, or acts of
terrorism.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements contained in this release because they are statements about
events that are not certain to occur as described or at all. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and actual results and future developments may vary materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements.
Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, the Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Please see TORM’s filings with
|
|
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks and uncertainties. The
information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this communication.

THE PRODUCT TANKER MARKET
The product tanker market continued to be influenced by sanctions and self-sanctioning of Russian product exports as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the
consequent trade recalibration and the following changes to tonnage availability in different geographical positions. Recent changes in the refinery landscape further supported the market, with Clarksons’ average MR benchmark in June 2022
reaching the highest monthly level since 2006.
Despite increasing concerns related to the high oil prices and potential economic slowdown, oil demand from transportation remained relatively robust in most regions in
Q2 2022. Demand softening was, nevertheless, observed in the US where record-high gasoline prices brought gasoline consumption to below last year’s seasonal levels, after hovering around 9% above the 2021 levels in Q1 2022. Similarly,
COVID-19-related lockdowns in China resulted in the country’s oil demand falling to 2m b/d below the levels seen a year ago. Refinery margins climbed to new highs as concerns about supply tightness of especially diesel pushed product prices
further up, at the same time as crude oil prices did not see similar increases.
The volume of long-haul inter-basin trade with clean petroleum products increased in Q2 2022, driven by increasing flows from the East to the West1, while
product flows from the West to the East remained subdued. Especially the middle distillate flows from the Middle East to Europe underpinned that trend towards the end of Q2 2022, as self-sanctioning and tightening oil sanctions against Russia led
Europe to increasingly search for alternative supplies. While the official EU oil embargo does not
1 “East” means all ports East of the Suez Canal and West of Panama Canal and “West” means all ports West of the Suez Canal and East of the Panama Canal
take effect until February 2023, there is already an impact since no new contracts are allowed. Nevertheless, by June 2022, European oil product imports from Russia had
declined by less than 30% (from a high level in February 2022) implying two thirds of the trade volumes remain to be replaced by other sources before February 2023.
Overall for Q2 2022, the markets in the West outperformed the markets in the East, although rates in the East picked up strongly towards the end of Q2 2022. Although
diesel flows from the US to Europe retreated from the initial increase seen immediately after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, product exports from the US remained strong underpinned by robust demand from South America. Product exports from the
US Gulf climbed from an average of 2.1m b/d in Q1 2022 to 2.2m b/d in Q2 2022, the strongest second quarter export level since 2018. Despite a surge in trade flows in May 2022, gasoline flows from Europe to the US East Coast in Q2 2022 remained
significantly below the levels seen the same time last year. Generally lower imports into the US allowing for abrupt freight rate spikes in the US Gulf during Q2 2022, with TCE earnings occasionally reaching triple digit levels, as the strong
demand for tonnage outstripped vessel availability. Further to this, discharge delays in the West coast of Mexico kept an increasing number of vessels in an “operational” floating storage limiting the number of vessel availability in the region.
In the East, freight markets were supported by strong demand for the Middle East distillate barrels in Europe, further backed by continuously robust demand from Africa.
Jet flows to the
West coast of the US similarly picked up. As product flows from the West were low, this kept the MR count relatively low in the East, especially towards the end of Q2
2022. The closure of the sole refinery in New Zealand in April 2022 supported the MR vessel class, as product flows to New Zealand and Australia combined surged by 15% from Q1 2022, with especially South Korea and Taiwan increasing their market
shares (at the expense of India). On the other hand, China’s clean product exports remained low especially in the second half of Q2 2022, as a result of low export quotas.
While the product tanker market experienced elevated rates, the crude tanker market, especially for the larger vessel classes, remained subdued. The market for the
largest crude tankers, the VLCC segment, remained weak throughout Q2 2022, negatively influenced by OPEC underperformance relative to its production targets. In addition, China played a role as the country’s crude oil imports remained well below
the levels seen in Q1 2022, amid the recent COVID-19-related lockdowns. While a weak crude tanker market often results in a “cannibalization” of the product tanker market by newbuilt crude tankers, the impact of increasing discrepancy between
strong product tanker earnings and weak VLCC earnings in Q2 2022 had a more muted effect on the number of newbuilt VLCCs lifting clean cargo, as the increased cost of the product and the underlying price backwardation made it less attractive to
use VLCCs. On the other hand, strong clean tanker earnings triggered a number of LR2s to clean up, partially reversing the trend seen towards the end of Q1 2022 and early Q2 2022 when strong Aframax earnings led to several LR2s shifting to the
dirty market.

At the start of Q3 2022, the product tanker market continued to strengthen, supported by increasing trade volumes from the US, Europe and Asia. VLCC rates picked up from
the low levels as well, on the back of an increased number of barrels going from the OPEC producers of the Middle East and also from the higher volumes of the US crude that were shipped on VLCCs to Europe and Asia.
The global product tanker fleet (above 25,000 dwt) grew by 0.4% in Q2 2022, as newbuilding deliveries slowed while scrapping kept at relatively high levels. (source:
TORM).

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 2022
For 2022, TORM expects higher rates than in 2021 (2021: USD/day 13,703) and to return to a net profit before tax (2021: loss of USD 41m). TORM expects to maintain a low
cost base in line with a normalized profit before tax (PBT) with a break-even TCE rate in FY 2022 of approximately USD/day 15,000. The below table illustrates the PBT sensitivity per each increase in the TCE rate of USD/day 1,000 assuming 8,971
open days in 2022.
As of 14 August 2022, TORM had covered 36% of the remaining earning days in 2022 at USD/day 43,828. Assuming an unchanged TCE rate of USD/day 43,828 for the rest of 2022
and a rate sensitivity of +/- USD/day, 1,000 profit before tax excluding non-recurrent items, it will amount to USD 509-527m assuming all other things being equal.
Profit before tax from Marine Exhaust Technology A/S is expected to have a limited impact on TORM’s consolidated profit before tax.

TORM FLEET DEVELOPMENT
The table shows TORM’s operating fleet. In addition to 59 owned product tankers on the water, TORM had 22 vessels under sale-and-leaseback agreements as of 30
June 2022 (financially reported as owned vessels).
In Q2 2022, TORM entered into agreements to sell two of LR2 vessels (TORM Valborg and TORM Ingeborg).
Further, TORM delivered four of its vessels to their new owners in all vessel classes including one LR2 vessel (TORM Gudrun), one LR1 vessel
(TORM Emilie), one MR vessel (TORM Horizon), and one Handysize vessel (TORM Tevere).
After Q2 2022, TORM delivered three vessels to their new owners, including two LR2 vessels (TORM Valborg and TORM Ingeborg) and the last of
its handysize vessels (TORM Gyda), hence fully exited from the handysize vessel class. In addition, TORM entered into an agreement to sell an MR vessel (TORM Moselle). TORM Moselle is expected to be delivered to the new owner in Q3
2022. Lastly, TORM took delivery of a second-hand 2016-built LR2 vessel (TORM Hannah) during August 2022. TORM Hannah is financed under a sale-and-leaseback agreement.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
INCOME STATEMENT
The gross profit for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was USD 232.6m (2021, same period: USD 90.5m). The increase compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due
to higher freight rates, but secondly impacted by 2,127 additional earning days. The average TCE rate for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was USD/day 23,152 (2021, same period: USD/day 14,056). Available earning days were 14,866 (2021, same
period: 12,739).
Operating expenses for the six months ended 30 June 2022 were USD 100.4m (2021, same period: USD 89.7m).
Administrative expenses for the six months ended 30 June 2022 decreased to USD 25.9m (2021, same period: USD 26.8m), impacted
positively by the strengthening of the USD during 2022.
The result before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was a profit of USD 213.8m (2021,
same period: USD 63.6m).
Depreciation for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was USD 69.7m (2021, same period: USD 62.0m) resulting from the increased fleet size.
The operating profit (EBIT) for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was USD 141.3m (2021, same period: USD 0.8m). The increase was mainly due to higher freight rates.
Financial expenses for the six months ended 30 June 2022 were USD 23.9m (2021, same period: USD 19.6m). The increase was primarily driven by higher lease interest
expenses compared to 2021 following the sale-and-leaseback refinancings in the second half of 2021.
The result after tax for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was USD 117.0m (2021, same period: USD -19.2m).
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was USD 156.0m (2021, same period: loss of USD 12.6m). The development in total comprehensive income was
primarily driven by the increase in the net profit for the period and secondly by the positive fair value adjustment of interest rate swaps.
ASSETS
As of 30 June 2022, total assets amounted to USD 2,421.1m.
The carrying value of the fleet was USD 1,906.0m including assets held for sale as of 30 June 2022. Based on broker valuations, TORM’s fleet including newbuildings and
assets held for sale had a market value of USD 2,160.1m as of 30 June 2022.
DEBT
As of 30 June 2022, net interest-bearing debt amounted to USD 894.0m. As of 30 June 2022, TORM was in compliance with the financial covenants.
EQUITY
As of 30 June 2022, TORM’s equity was USD 1,214.7m. TORM held treasury shares equivalent to 0.6% of the TORM’s share capital.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
LIQUIDITY
As of 30 June 2022, TORM’s available liquidity was USD 240.4m consisting of USD 157.7m in cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash, USD 45.0m in the undrawn
credit facility and USD 37.7m in the available lease facility.
Cash and cash equivalents include USD 24.4m in restricted cash, primarily related to collateral for financial instruments. As of 30 June 2022, net interest-bearing debt
amounted to USD 894.0m, and TORM's net loan-to-value (NLTV) ratio was 42.5%.
As of 30 June 2022, TORM had expected CAPEX of USD 9.7m for scrubber retrofits and USD 1.5m for flettner rotor installations.
After the end of Q2 2022, TORM signed an agreement to purchase 75% of the shares in Marine Exhaust Technology A/S, a Danish-based company owning ME Production A/S
(“MEP”), which among others produces solutions to reduce air pollutants in connection with marine transportation.
CASH FLOW
Cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended 30 June 2022 amounted to USD 89.0m (2021, same period: USD 23.2m). The increase was primarily due to an
increase in cash inflows from primary activities, partly offset by the increasing working capital balances impacted by increasing bunker prices and freight rates.
Cash flow from investing activities for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was USD -14.2m (2021, same period: USD –161.6m). The change was primarily driven by a decrease
in cash outflow
for investments in vessels, an increase in cash inflow from sale of vessels and changes in restricted cash.
Cash flow from financing activities for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was USD -86.3m (2021, same period: USD 153.1m), primarily driven by repayment on facilities.
Net cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was USD -11.5m (2021, same period: USD 14.7m). The change in the
cash flow was driven by an increase in net cash inflow from operating and investing activities partly offset by a decrease in net cash inflow from financing activities.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended 30 June 2022, TORM’s transactions with its joint venture producing scrubbers for the TORM fleet covered CAPEX of USD 4.5m in total. The
joint venture will continue to assist TORM in installing scrubbers.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
There are a number of key risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the TORM’s performance over the remaining six months of 2022. Risks and
uncertainties, along with the mitigation measures put in place to reduce risks, remain unchanged from those published in the Annual Report 2021 and are summarized below:

Tanker freight rates – The risk of sustained low tanker freight rates or of TORM not being able to predict and act on the development of these. Further, TORM
is active in the cyclical product tanker industry where earnings may also
|
|
|
be affected by seasonality and geopolitical events. The outbreak of COVID-19 and the oil demand, supply and price development underpin the risk
|
|
•
|
The geopolitical risks increased significantly following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The sanctions imposed on Russia by the Western nations
increased uncertainty on the general energy market. Due to the continuous development and complexity of the situation, the impact on the tanker markets going forward is uncertain. We do not expect any direct impact on our operations
although we expect increased volatility in freight rates, bunker cost, foreign exchange rates and vessel values.
|
|
•
|
Bunker price – The risk of unexpected bunker price increases not covered by corresponding freight rate increases
|
|
•
|
Timing of sale and purchase of vessels – The risk of TORM not selling and purchasing vessels timely relative to market developments and business requirements
|
For further information and a detailed description of the most significant risks, please refer to Note 21 of the Annual Report 2021.
DIVIDENDS
In line with the TORM’s Distribution Policy, a dividend of USD 0.58 per share has been approved by the Board of Directors for the three months ended 30 June 2022.

NOTE 2 – VESSELS AND CAPITALIZED DRY-DOCKING
Included in the carrying amount for "Vessels and capitalized dry-docking" are capitalized dry-docking costs in the amount of USD 50.6m (30 June 2021: USD 72.4m, 31
December 2021: USD 65.9m).
The depreciation for the six months ended 30 June 2022 related to "Other plant and operating equipment" of USD 1.2m (30 June 2021: USD 1.2m, 31 December 2021: USD 2.4m)
and “Land and buildings” of USD 1.1m (30 June 2021: USD 1.0m, 31 December 2021: USD 2.3m) is related to “Administrative expenses”.
Impairment assessment
For determination of the vessel values, TORM has carried out an impairment indicator assessment of the most significant assumptions used in the fair value and value in
use calculations for the Annual Report 2021 (please refer to Note 8 in the Annual Report 2021). Based on an combined assessment, TORM has found that no impairment indicators are noted, and therefore, TORM does not find any need to reassess the
recoverable amount as of 30 June 2022.
Assets held for sale
During the first six months of 2022, TORM sold six vessels and additionally three vessels were approved for sale as of 30 June 2022. Three of the vessels sold in in the
first six months of 2022 have been delivered to the new owners and six vessels are presented as assets held for sale as of 30 June 2022.
The sales resulted in an impairment loss of USD 2.8m and a profit of USD 0.8m which are recognized in the income statement. The fair value of the assets held for sale of
USD 69.2 represents the sales price less expected transaction costs for six vessels. The vessels are expected to be delivered to the new owners during the second half of 2022.

USD 13.0m), which are amortized over the term of the loans and debt regarding Land and buildings & Other plant and operating equipment USD 4.1m (30 June 2021: USD 6.9m, 31 December 2021: USD 5.6m).
As of 30 June 2022, TORM was in compliance with the financial covenants. TORM expects to remain in compliance with the financial covenants in the remaining period of
2022.
NOTE 5 – PROVISIONS
In 2020, TORM was involved in cargo claims relating to a customer having granted indemnities for discharge of cargoes, and not being able to honor those obligations. The
cases involved irregular activities by the customer. Legal action has been initiated by TORM in the UK and in India against the customer and related individuals. TORM has previously made provisions for USD 18.3m in relation to the claims.
In August 2022, TORM has settled one claim and reassessed its provisions for the remaining part of the case complex.
TORM has reversed provisions amounting to USD 6.3m and the total amount as of 30 June 2022 relating to the claims is USD 12m. Legal proceedings are still ongoing and
therefore the provisions recognized are subject to uncertainty relating to both timing and amounts.
NOTE 6 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
TORM is involved in certain legal proceedings and disputes. It is Management’s opinion that the outcome of these proceedings and disputes will not have any material
impact on the TORM’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 7 – CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS
As of 30 June 2022, TORM had contractual obligations regarding investment commitments including newbuilding and secondhand commitments of USD 49.2m (30 June 2021: USD
143.1m, 31 December 2021: USD 39.9m).

NOTE 8 – POST BALANCE SHEET DATE EVENTS
After the end of Q2 2022, TORM delivered the last handysize vessel (TORM Gyda) on 07 July 2022 and two of the LR2 vessels (TORM Valborg and TORM Ingeborg) on 20 July 2022
and 12 August 2022, respectively.
After the end of Q2 2022, TORM sold one of the vessels approved for sale as of 30 June 2022 (TORM Moselle).
On 09 August 2022, TORM took delivery of the second-hand LR2 vessel (TORM Hannah) purchased in Q2 2022 and subsequently entered into a sale and leaseback financing
transaction which included purchase options for TORM.
On 01 August 2022, TORM settled a cargo claim and subsequently reassessed the provisions in relation to remaining cargo claims. TORM reversed provisions and recognized
income amounting to USD 6.3m on 30 June 2022 in relation to cargo claims. Further, the security amount for the settled claim was received on 12 August 2022
On 15 August 2022, TORM entered into an agreement to purchase 75% of the shares in Marine Exhaust Technology A/S for a consideration of USD 2.1m. Marine Exhaust
Technology A/S is a Danish-based company owning ME Production A/S (“MEP”), which among others produces solutions to reduce air pollutants in connection with marine transportation. Closing of the transaction is expected to be in Q3 2022.
After the reporting date, TORM’s Board of Directors has approved a dividend of USD 0.58 per share, with an expected total dividend payment of USD 47m. Payment is expected
on 16 September 2022 to shareholders on record on 01 September 2022, with the ex-dividend date on 31 August 2022. The dividends have not been recognised as liabilities and there are no tax consequences.
NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended 30 June 2022, TORM’s transactions with its joint venture producing scrubbers for the TORM fleet covered CAPEX of USD 4.5m in total. The joint
venture will continue to assist TORM in installing scrubbers.
NOTE 10 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES & GOING CONCERN
General information
The information for the year ended 31 December 2021 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory
accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was not qualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying
the report and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim report for the period 01 January-30 June 2022 is not audited or reviewed.
Significant accounting policies
The interim report for the period 01 January-30 June 2022 is presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (“IAS 34”) as adopted in the UK. The
interim financial statements are also prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and IAS 34 as adopted by the EU, as applied to financial periods beginning on or after 01 January 2022.
TORM has implemented the following standards and amendments issued by the IASB and adopted by the UK in the consolidated financial statements for 2022:
|
•
|
Annual Improvements to IFRS 2018-2020 relating to IFRS 1, IFRS 9 and IAS 41
|
|
•
|
Amendments to IFRS 3 – Reference to the Conceptual Framework
|
|
•
|
Amendments to IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before intended use
|
|
•
|
Amendments to IAS 37 – Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract.
|
It is assessed that application of these effective on 01 January 2022 has not had any material impact on the consolidated financial statements in 2022. The interim report
has been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the Annual Report 2021.
For critical estimates and judgements, please refer to the Annual report 2021, pages 124-125.
Going concern
TORM monitors its funding position throughout the year to ensure that it has access to sufficient funds to meet its forecast cash requirements, including newbuilding and
loan commitments, and to monitor compliance with the financial covenants within its loan facilities. As of 30 June 2022, TORM’s available liquidity including undrawn facilities was USD 240.4m, including a total cash position of USD 157.7m
(including restricted cash of USD 24.4m), USD 45.0m undrawn credit facility and USD 37.7m available lease facility. TORM’s net interest-bearing debt was USD 894.0m, and the net loan-to-value ratio was 42.5%.
TORM performs sensitivity calculations to reflect different scenarios including, but not limited to, future freight rates and vessel valuations in order to identify risks to future liquidity and covenant compliance and to enable Management to take
corrective actions, if required.
|
TORM INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
|

|
NOTE 10 - CONTINUED
The sensitivity calculations are similar to those applied in connection with covenant testing in the Annual Report 2021. The principal risks and uncertainties facing TORM
are set out on page 12.
TORM continues to pay special attention to the significantly increased geopolitical risk following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the associated
effects on the product tanker market and to a smaller extent than earlier the global development in COVID-19. The financial impact going forward is uncertain, but TORM currently expects that the possible effects are covered within the sensitivity
calculations..
The Board of Directors has considered TORM’s cash flow forecasts and the expected compliance with TORM’s financial covenants for a period of not less than 12 months from
the date of approval of this interim report. Based on this review, the Board of Directors has a reasonable expectation that, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance and vessel valuations, TORM will be able to continue
in operational existence and comply with its financial covenants for the next 12 months. Accordingly, TORM continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements

GLOSSARY
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Throughout the interim report, several alternative performance measures (APMs) are used. The APMs used are the same as in the Annual Report 2021 and therefore we refer
to the principles for these on pages 174-179 in the TORM plc Annual Report 2021. See www.torm.com/investors.
Net profit/(loss) for the year excluding non-recurrent items: Net profit excluding impairment is net profit less impairment and
reversals of impairment generated from impairment testing during the year (Please refer to Note 2). TORM reports net profit excluding impairment because we believe it provides additional meaningful information to investors regarding the

Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) earnings: TORM defines TCE earnings, a performance measure, as revenue less port expenses, bunkers and commissions incl. freight and bunker derivatives. TORM reports TCE earnings because we believe it provides
additional meaningful information to investors in relation to revenue, the most directly comparable IFRS measure. TCE earnings is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping
company’s performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Below is presented a reconciliation from revenue to
TCE earnings:

GLOSSARY
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES – continued
EBITDA: TORM defines EBITDA as earnings before financial income and expenses,
depreciation, impairment, amortization and taxes. The computation of EBITDA refers to financial income and expenses which TORM deems to be equivalent to “interest” for purposes of presenting EBITDA. Financial expenses consist of interest on bank
loans and leasing liabilities, losses on foreign exchange transactions and bank charges. Financial income consists of interest income and gains on foreign exchange transactions.
EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by Management and external users of financial statements, such as lenders, to assess TORM's operating performance as
well as compliance with the financial covenants and restrictions contained in TORM's financing agreements. TORM believes that EBITDA assists Management and investors in evaluating TORM’s operating performance by increasing comparability of
tTORM's 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 which could be affected by various
changing financing methods and capital structures, which may significantly affect profit/(loss) between periods. Including EBITDA as a measure benefits investor in selecting between investment alternatives.
EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items which affect profit/(loss), and these items may vary among other companies and may therefore not be directly comparable. The
following table reconciles EBITDA to net profit/ (loss), the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for the periods presented:

Net interest-bearing debt: Net interest-bearing debt is defined as mortgage debt and bank loans (current and non-current), lease liabilities less cash equivalents and interest-bearing loan receivables. Net interest-bearing debt depicts the net
capital resources, which cause net interest expenditure and interest rate risk and which, together with equity, are used to finance our investments. As such, TORM believes that net interest-bearing debt is a relevant measure, which Management
uses to measure the overall development of our use of financing, other than equity. Such measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Net interest-bearing debt is calculated as follows:

The product tanker market continued to see strong support from the normalization in the oil demand after the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the market was
supported by the trade recalibration caused by sanctions and self-sanctioning of Russian product exports as a consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Recent changes in the refinery landscape further supported the market, and the
average MR benchmark in June 2022 reached the highest monthly level since 2006, further firming in July 2022. Global inventories remain at low levels. Earliest possible delivery of newbuilding product tanker vessels is 2024/25, and the
order book remains at about 5% of the existing fleet, which is historically low.

TORM has maintained the commitment we made when Russia invaded Ukraine to suspend all new business with Russia. Further, TORM has not experienced any critical
incidents or situations due to the invasion, meaning that the safety of our seafarers has been unaffected. Despite the fact that many countries have lifted their COVID-19 restrictions, TORM is still impacted by restrictions primarily in
countries which follow a zero-COVID-19 policy, such as China, leading to more complex operational planning.
