A.P. MOLLER - MAERSK INTERIM REPORT Q3 | 2 NOVEMBER 2022
Management review
A.P. Moller - Maersk continued to deliver record results in Q3 2022 as revenue increased by 37%,
and both EBITDA and EBIT increased around 60% compared to Q3 2021. Profit was USD 8.9bn
(USD 5.4bn) for Q3 and USD 24.2bn (USD 11.9bn) for the first nine months.
Profitability was driven by the substantially higher freight rates, however, as expected, freight
rates began to decline in the second part of the quarter, due to weakening customer demand,
coupled with markets beginning to normalise with fewer supply chain disruptions and pro-
gressive unwinding of congestion. The acquisition of LF Logistics was completed and the
intended acquisition of Martin Bencher Group was announced. While the divestment of
Maersk Container Industry was discontinued following regulatory challenges, the divestment
of Terminal’s participation in Global Ports Investments (GPI), Russia, was completed.
Highlights Q3 2022
Revenue for Q3 increased by USD 6.2bn to USD 22.8bn (USD 16.6bn), mainly due to an increase in Ocean of USD 4.9bn, while
revenue increased by USD 1.6bn in Logistics & Services and by USD 90m in Terminals. EBITDA increased by USD 4.0bn to USD
10.9bn (USD 6.9bn), and EBIT increased by USD 3.6bn to USD 9.5bn (USD 5.9bn) with an increase in:
Ocean by USD 3.4bn to USD 8.7bn (USD 5.3bn), mainly driven by significantly higher freight rates on contract and shipment
on routes from Asia to Europe and to North America, partly offset by a decrease in volumes and by higher costs related to
bunker, container handling and network.
Logistics & Services to USD 258m (USD 194m), mainly due to added revenue from acquisitions and higher volumes, in
particular from top 200 customers, however at lower margins especially in Managed by Maersk and in Fulfilled by
Maersk, which was impacted by some softness in the current market.
Terminals to USD 357m (USD 325m), mainly due to higher results from higher volumes and prices and by the disposal
of GPI, partially offset by impairments. EBIT excluding divestments and impairments was USD 325m.
Free cash flow increased to USD 7.8bn (USD 5.3bn), due to strong cash flows from operating activities of USD 9.4bn (USD 6.6bn),
partly offset by CAPEX of USD 906m (USD 610m) and higher capitalised lease instalments of USD 811m (USD 611m), driven by higher
investments across all segments. Total cash and bank balances including term deposits increased to USD 22.9bn (USD 11.9bn).
Total distribution of cash to shareholders through share buy-backs was USD 858m in Q3 2022.
On the ESG strategy, A.P. Moller - Maersk made further progress during Q3 on its decarbonisation journey to net zero, announc-
ing new investments, partnerships and logistics facilities that will enable A.P. Moller - Maersk to deliver low carbon solutions
for its customers.

A.P. MOLLER - MAERSK INTERIM REPORT Q3 | 2 NOVEMBER 2022
Review Q3 2022
Delivering strong financial results
while markets start to normalise
A.P. Moller - Maersk’s strong financial results continued in
Q3 2022, with higher earnings in the three main businesses
compared to the same quarter last year.
In particular, the earnings in Ocean increased significantly
through higher freight rates on both contract and shipments,
however, rates started to decline as expected during the lat-
ter part of Q3 due to weakening customer demand, as mar-
kets began to normalise with fewer supply chain disruptions
and a gradual relieve of congestion.
In Logistics & Services, the increase in earnings came from
both inorganic growth from recent acquisitions and organic
growth. The increase in Terminals was driven by higher
volume in Europe and Asia, CPI-related tariff increases, and
higher global storage income offset by cost increases.
The businesses experienced pressure on the cost base due
to inflation, which is expected to continue for a longer
period.
Winding down in Russia
As previously announced, A.P. Moller - Maersk is winding
down its operations in Russia, which will ultimately result
in a complete exit from the country. All services to and from
Russia have been discontinued since Q1, and in Q3, sale of
the minority stake of 30.75% of Global Ports Investments
(GPI) was completed. The process of divesting the remain-
ing assets is ongoing.
The original impact on EBIT in Q1 from the Russia/Ukraine
situation was less negative due to the reversal in Q2 of
USD 94m and in Q3 with the reversal of container impair-
ments and the disposal of GPI, net of translation reserves
totalling USD 92m, leaving a net EBIT impact of negative
USD 532m for 9M 2022.

Status on acquisitions
The acquisition of LF Logistics was completed in
August 2022 and LF Logistics was included in the
financials for Logistics & Services for the first time
in September.
Status on other intended acquisitions
The creation of a joint venture with Grindrod Intermodal
Group in which A.P. Moller - Maersk would own 51% of the
group was announced in November 2021 and is expected to
close in Q1 2023. In August 2022, the intended acquisition of
Martin Bencher, a 25-year-old Danish-based project logistics
business with premium capabilities in designing end-to-end
project solutions for its customers, was announced. The
intended acquisition is expected to close in Q1 2023. Both
transactions are subject to regulatory approvals.
ESG update
In Q3, A.P. Moller - Maersk made further progress on its
decarbonisation journey to net zero, announcing new
investments, partnerships and logistics facilities that will
enable the company to deliver low carbon solutions for its
customers.

roadmap, please see WWW.MAERSK.COM/SUSTAINABILITY
Green transformation of shipping continues with
six additional large container vessels
In addition to the orders announced in 2021 and 2022 of
one feeder vessel and 12 large ocean-going container ves-
sels, on 5 October 2022, A.P. Moller - Maersk announced
an additional order of six large ocean-going vessels that
can sail on green methanol. The six vessels will be built by
Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and have a nominal capacity
of approx. 17,000 containers (Twenty Foot Equivalent – TEU).
They will be delivered from 2025 and will replace existing
capacity in the fleet. With the order, A.P. Moller - Maersk
has now ordered a total of 19 vessels with dual-fuel engines
able to operate on green methanol.
A.P. Moller - Maersk engages in green bio-methanol
partnership with Debo
A.P. Moller - Maersk adds another methanol partnership
with Chinese bioenergy enterprise Debo on the quest to
boost global production capacity for the green methanol
needed to power the company’s vessels.

A.P. MOLLER - MAERSK INTERIM REPORT Q3 | 2 NOVEMBER 2022
The parties have signed a Letter of Intent covering
Debo’s plans to develop a green bio-methanol project for
A.P. Moller - Maersk in China with a capacity of 200,000
tonnes per year, aiming to start commercial operation by
autumn 2024.
Market demand for Maersk ECO Delivery shipping
product continues to increase
Q3 saw continued growth in demand for Maersk ECO
Delivery, with volumes four times higher than in Q3 2021.
Maersk ECO Delivery customers pay a green premium for
a low- carbon shipping product, which provides certified
carbon emissions savings.
New warehouses in Latin America and Europe
support low-carbon offerings
As part of A.P. Moller - Maersk’s 2030 commitment to
provide industry-leading green customer offerings across
the supply chain, the company is expanding its warehouse
footprint with more facilities with green features as exem-
plified below.
In Q3, A.P. Moller - Maersk opened or announced the con-
struction of three new facilities combining multiple green
features such as on-site photovoltaic panels or special con-
struction elements. These facilities are located in Cajamar, in
the state of Sao Paolo, Brazil, in Duisburg, Germany, and in
Taulov, Denmark. All three warehouses aim to achieve high
grades from sustainability accreditation for new buildings.
A.P. Moller - Maersk joins the zero emission road
transport leadership initiative EV100+ as founding
partner
A.P. Moller - Maersk’s net zero target and efforts extend
to all transport modes and services in its global operation.
Earlier this year, the company announced an investment in
400+ new electric trucks in the USA. A.P. Moller - Maersk has
now joined the Climate Group initiative EV100+ for electri-
fication of road vehicles as a founding member together
with IKEA, JSW Steel, Unilever and DPD group. This initiative
aims to phase out the heaviest and most polluting vehicles
on today’s roads. Representing just 4% of all vehicles on the
road globally, medium and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDV’s)
account for 40% of all road transport emissions and a third
of total transport fuel use.

Management review I Review Q3 2022
A.P. MOLLER - MAERSK INTERIM REPORT Q3 | 2 NOVEMBER 2022
Delivering on the roadmap to 2025
The roadmap to 2025 initiated in 2021 is providing specific targets for the transformation towards becoming
the integrator of container logistics.
The return on invested capital (ROIC) (LTM) was 66.6%, well above the target of above 7.5% every year under
normalised conditions, and above 12% for the period 2021-2025, driven by the increase in profit.
A.P. Moller - Maersk will prioritise the capital allocation to investments in the business, including acquisitions
in Logistics & Services, repaying debt, paying ordinary dividends based on a pay-out ratio of 30-50% of under-
lying net profit and distributing excess cash to shareholders through share buy-backs and special dividends
in that order.
A.P. Moller - Maersk’s share buy-back programme, originally planned for USD 5.0bn over 2022-2023, has been
progressively extended to USD 12.0bn over 2022-2025 or USD 3.0bn annually. Of the share buy-back pro-
gramme over 2022-2023, USD 2.5bn has been completed of the USD 6.0bn commitment.
Ocean delivered an EBIT margin of 46.8% over the last twelve months, well above the target of 6%
under normalised conditions. Total fleet capacity is within the range of 4.1-4.3m TEU.
For Logistics & Services, organic growth of 33% over the last twelve months was above the target of
10%, and 66% of the organic growth related to top 200 customers was also above the target of 50%.
Finally, the EBIT margin was 6.0% versus the target of above 6%, making Logistics & Services the
strategic growth driver for the company. In addition to rapid organic growth, the expectation is to
continue to make acquisitions, mainly of new capabilities and growth platforms, to expand the
logistics business.
The return on invested capital (ROIC) (LTM) was 8.2% for Terminals in Q3 and lower than the expectation
of above 9% towards 2025. Excluding the impact from Russia, ROIC (LTM) was 12.8%.

Management review I Review Q3 2022
A.P. MOLLER - MAERSK INTERIM REPORT Q3 | 2 NOVEMBER 2022
Revenue increased by USD 6.2bn to USD 22.8bn (USD 16.6bn),
with increases in Ocean of USD 4.9bn, in Logistics & Services
of USD 1.6bn and in Terminals of USD 90m.
The increase in Ocean was driven by higher loaded freight
rates, partly offset by lower volumes. However, due to
weakening customer demand, coupled with markets begin-
ning to normalise, freight rates started to decline during the
quarter. The record-high revenue in Logistics & Services was
achieved through both organic and inorganic growth.
EBITDA increased to USD 10.9bn (USD 6.9bn), primarily com-
ing from Ocean with an EBITDA of USD 9.9bn (USD 6.3bn),
driven by an increase in revenue, partly offset by higher
costs related to bunker, container handling and network.
In Logistics & Services, EBITDA increased by USD 127m to
USD 394m (USD 267m) due to the higher revenue, and in
Terminals, EBITDA increased by USD 13m to USD 391m (USD
378m) because of higher volume and higher storage income
partly offset by increases in costs. In addition, USD 85m of
the increase was due to the transaction break fee from the
discontinued divestment of Maersk Container Industry.
EBIT increased to USD 9.5bn (USD 5.9bn).
Financial items, net, amounted to USD 303m (USD 185m),
as increased interest income was more than offset by for-
eign exchange rate adjustments and derivative losses on
hedging from share buy-back.
Tax increased to USD 263m (USD 213m), primarily due to
the improved financial performance.
The underlying profit was USD 8.8bn (USD 5.4bn).
Cash flow from operating activities was USD 9.4bn (USD
6.6bn), driven by EBITDA of USD 10.9bn, partly offset by an
increase in net working capital of USD 1.2bn, mainly driven
by higher receivables translating into a cash conversion of
87% (95%).
Gross capital expenditure (CAPEX) of USD 906m (USD
610m) was driven by higher investments across all seg-
ments.
Free cash flow of USD 7.8bn (USD 5.3bn) was positively
impacted by higher cash flow from operating activities,
slightly offset by increased lease, financial payments and
higher capital expenditures.
Financial review Q3 2022
Contractual capital commitments totalled USD 4.1bn (USD
3.3bn at year-end 2021), of which USD 2.0bn is for Ocean
vessels and equipment, including green methanol- enabled
vessels, and USD 1.4bn in Terminals mainly related to con-
cessions grantors.
Capital structure and credit rating
Net interest-bearing debt decreased to a net cash position
of USD 6.9bn (a net cash position of USD 1.5bn at year-end
2021), as free cash flow of USD 20.6bn for the first nine
months was partly used for share buy-backs of USD 2.1bn,
dividends of USD 6.9bn and acquisition of companies of
USD 4.6bn. Further, lease liabilities increased by USD 1.1bn,
and excluding lease liabilities, the Group had a net cash
position of USD 18.5bn (USD 12.1bn at year-end 2021).
A.P. Moller - Maersk remains investment grade-rated and
holds a Baa2 (positive outlook, updated from stable) from
Moody’s and a BBB+ (stable) rating from Standard & Poor’s.
The liquidity reserve increased to USD 27.2bn (USD 21.5bn
at year-end 2021) and was composed of liquid funds and
term deposits of USD 21.3bn, excluding restricted cash
(USD 15.5bn at year-end 2021) and undrawn revolving credit
facilities of USD 6.0bn (USD 6.0bn at year-end 2021).
Share buy-back
During Q3, A.P. Moller - Maersk bought back 78,710 A shares
and 314,864 B shares, worth DKK 6.7bn (approximately USD
908m), and no shares were bought for the long-term incen-
tive programme. At 30 September 2022, A.P. Moller - Maersk
owns a total of 134,521 A shares and 623,897 B shares as
treasury shares, corresponding to 4.05% of the share capital.
The Annual General Meeting has authorised the Board of
Directors to allow the Company to acquire own shares to the
extent that the nominal value of the Company’s total hold-
ing of own shares at no time exceeds 15% of the Company’s
share capital.

Management review I Financial review Q3 2022
A.P. MOLLER - MAERSK INTERIM REPORT Q3 | 2 NOVEMBER 2022
Revenue increased by USD 20.4bn to USD 63.7bn (USD
43.3bn), with substantial increases in Ocean of USD 17.4bn,
in Logistics & Services of USD 3.7bn, and in Terminals of
USD 461m.
The increase in Ocean was driven by significantly higher
loaded freight rates, given the continuing congestion
throughout the year, which started to ease in the latter
part of Q3 combined with weakening customer demand
and lower volumes. The increase in Logistics & Services
was primarily due to sig nificant volume growth both
organically and inorganically. The increase in Terminals
was mainly driven by storage income in North America
and continued higher volume.
EBITDA increased significantly to USD 30.3bn (USD 16.0bn).
Ocean contributed with an EBITDA of USD 27.7bn (USD
14.1bn), driven by higher revenue due to higher freight
rates, partly offset by lower volumes and higher costs
from increased bunker prices, container handling and
network. In Logistics & Services, the increased EBITDA
of USD 1.1bn (USD 688m) was led by the higher revenue,
and in Terminals, EBITDA of USD 1.2bn (USD 1.1bn) was
positively impacted by higher storage income, volume
increase and increase in tariffs.
EBIT increased by USD 12.7bn to USD 25.7bn (USD 13.0bn),
positively impacted by the improved EBITDA with a neg-
ative impact from the Russia/Ukraine situation of USD
532m. The EBIT margin increased to 40.4% (30.1%). The
majority of the impact from the Russia/Ukraine situation
of USD 403m relates to Terminal’s sale of the holding in
Global Ports Investments as a result of the withdrawal of
business in Russia.
Financial review 9M 2022
Financial items, net, amounted to USD 800m (USD 601m),
negatively impacted by foreign exchange rate adjustments
and derivative losses.
Tax increased to USD 598m (USD 515m), primarily due to
improved financial performance.
The underlying profit after financial items and tax was
USD 24.8bn (USD 11.9bn).
Cash flow from operating activities was USD 26.3bn (USD
14.1bn), positively impacted by the increase in EBITDA of USD
30.3bn, offset by a negative change in net working capital of
USD 3.5bn, leading to a cash conversion of 87% (88%).
Gross capital expenditure (CAPEX) was USD 3.3bn (USD
1.4bn), driven by higher investments across all segments.
Free cash flow increased to USD 20.6bn (USD 10.9bn), pos-
itively impacted by higher cash flow from operating activi-
ties, partly offset by higher gross CAPEX and increased lease
payments and financial payments.
The ordinary dividend of DKK 2,500 per A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S
share of nominally DKK 1,000 (USD 6.9bn) declared at the
Annual General Meeting on 15 March 2022 was paid on
18 March 2022.
Total equity increased to USD 60.2bn (USD 45.6bn on
31 December 2021), mainly driven by higher net profit of
USD 24.3bn, partially offset by dividends payments and
share repurchase resulting in an equity ratio of 67.6%
(63.1% at year-end 2021).

Guidance for 2022
A.P. Moller - Maersk confirms full year 2022 guidance for
underlying EBITDA of around USD 37.0bn, an underlying
EBIT of around USD 31.0bn and a free cash flow (FCF)
above USD 24.0bn.
Sensitivity guidance
Financial performance for A.P. Moller - Maersk for 2022 depends on several factors and is subject to uncertainties related to the
situation in Russia and Ukraine, COVID-19, bunker fuel prices and freight rates, given the uncertain macroeconomic conditions.
All else being equal, the sensitivities for 2022 for four key assumptions are listed in the table below:
Factors Change Effect on EBIT
(midpoint of guidance)
Rest of year
Container freight rate +/- USD/FFE +/- USD bn
Container freight volume +/- FFE +/- USD bn
Bunker price (net of expected BAF coverage) +/- USD/tonne +/- USD bn
Foreign exchange rate (net of hedges) +/- % change in USD +/- USD bn
Given the unfolding economic slowdown, which is also
expected to continue into the coming year, A.P. Moller - Maersk
has lowered its outlook for the growth of 2022 global con-
tainer demand to between -2%/- 4% decline from previously
the lower end of the +/- 1% range.
CAPEX guidance for 2022-2023 remains unchanged at USD

Management review I Guidance for 2022
A.P. MOLLER - MAERSK INTERIM REPORT Q3 | 2 NOVEMBER 2022
Market insights
Demand for logistics services moderated across global sup-
ply chains in Q3 2022. The war in Ukraine and the ongoing
energy crisis added to inflationary pressures and weighed
on consumer and business sentiment. Supply-side bottle-
necks continued to pose challenges, but there are signs of
easing as demand slows and COVID 19-related restrictions
in China diminish.
Short-term economic indicators remained negative in Q3.
In the Euro Area, inflation moved into double digits, contrib-
uting to a deterioration in European business and consumer
confidence. While inflationary pressures may be peaking
in the United States, the Federal Reserve has signalled its
intention to maintain a tighter monetary stance until price
inflation returns to target levels. Alongside, US households
have seen excess savings fall, further reducing consumer pur-
chasing power. Chinese economic activity improved during
Q3, although the country’s zero-COVID-19 policy and strug-
gling property sector continue to weigh on growth.
Global container volumes are estimated to have declined
3.0% year-on-year in Q3, while global air cargo volumes,
measured in CTKs, dropped by 9% in July/August (IATA).
Trade flows into the US remain firmly above 2019 levels but
are weakening with North American imports from Far East
estimated to have declined 7.5% in Q3 as pandemic-driven
momentum in retail and tech sectors unwinds. European
container trade also weakened substantially. High inflation
and declining business and consumer confidence all con-
tributed to an estimated 6.0% fall in imports from Far East
in Q3. Far East imports remained soft, negatively impacted
by uncertainty in the Chinese housing market. North/South
trades faced higher inflation and a weakening macroeco-
nomic environment, but container volumes grew an esti-
mated 1.5% during Q3.
Supply-side bottlenecks remain prevalent, but there are
signs of easing. SeaIntel data shows the share of the global
container fleet absorbed by delays decreased from a peak
in January 2022 of almost 14% to a still elevated 8% in
September. Air freight capacity grew year-on-year in the first
two months of Q3 (5.0%), but cargo load factors remained
below 50% on a seasonally adjusted basis (IATA). Asia
Pacific had the highest level of capacity utilisation at 55%
in August, while the North American reading came in low-
est at 39%. Warehousing, particularly in the US, continued
to experience high levels of demand during Q3. Vacancy
rates for industrial warehousing remained close to histori-
cal lows as data from the US Census Bureau showed inven-
tory to sales ratios across the economy rising in Q3, indicat-
ing an increased need for storage. Retail inventory ratios
expanded at the quickest pace, rising to 1.24 in August 2022
from 1.11 a year earlier on a seasonally adjusted basis.
Globally, the nominal container fleet stood at 25.7m TEU
at the end of Q3 2022, an increase of 3.9% compared to Q3
2021. The idle fleet increased but remained low at 1.0% of
the nominal fleet. Nevertheless, lost sailings remained ele-
vated and fleet deployment continues to be skewed towards
longer East-West trades relative to shorter intra-regional
trades, weighing on effective supply growth. Despite this,
headhaul demand likely contracted by more than effective
supply in Q3 compared to Q3 2021, and the supply-demand
balance deteriorated.
Freight and charter rates declined in Q3 2022 relative to Q2.
Freight rates out of China, as measured by the China Con-
tainerized Freight Index (CCFI), were 6.6% lower than in Q2
and 1.4% lower than Q3 2021. The industry orderbook fell
to 27.4% of the nominal fleet at the end of Q3 from 28.3%
at the end of Q2 as ordering activity slowed sharply.
Global container demand is expected to contract between
-2% and -4% in 2022, but uncertainty is high and outcomes
in the lower end of the range have become more likely. In
2023, the global container market is expected to be broadly
flat to negative, however given the current macroeconomic
backdrop risks are skewed to the downside. Demand for air
freight looks set to remain muted during the traditional Q4
peak season. From a landside transportation perspective,
cooling consumer demand and expectations of a slow peak
season indicate high inventory levels are unlikely to trans-
late into strong demand for overland services.
On the supply chain management side, Global Purchasing
Managers Index indicate supplier delivery times are short-
ening, backlogs are falling and finished goods inventories
increasing. This suggests normalising upstream conditions
for supply chains, but also that conditions further down-
stream, for example in warehousing, may be tightening as
final demand growth slows.

Profitability for Q3 increased substantially compared to
the same quarter last year, driven by higher freight rates
on both contract and shipments. Nonetheless, the extra-
ordinary earnings have peaked as freight rates started to
decline during the quarter due to weakening customer
demand, coupled with markets beginning to normalise
with less supply chain disruptions and progressive release
of congestion. Subsequently, loaded volumes were adversely
impacted by both weakening demand, in particular on Asia-
Europe and Transpacific markets, and operational challenges
resulting in a decrease of 7.6% compared to the same quar-
ter last year.
The average loaded freight rates increased by 42% com-
pared to the same quarter last year, driven by both con-
tract and shipment rates on routes from Asia to Europe
and to North America and 1.3% compared to Q2 2022,
driven by contract rates. The unit cost at fixed bunker
increased by 16%, driven by time charter equivalent cost,

Financial and operational performance
Revenue increased to USD 18.0bn (USD 13.1bn), driven by an
increase in freight revenue of 38% with loaded freight rates
up by 42%, partly offset by a decrease in volumes of 7.6%.
EBITDA increased by USD 3.7bn to USD 9.9bn (USD 6.3bn) due
to higher revenue, partly offset by higher bunker cost from
increased bunker prices and higher operating cost, driven by
negative impact from the high inflationary environment in Q3
2022, which is expected to continue throughout Q4 2022.
The EBITDA margin increased by 7.4 percentage points to
55.1% (47.7%). Consequently, EBIT increased by USD 3.4bn to
USD 8.7bn (USD 5.3bn).
Loaded volumes decreased by 7.6% to 3,016k FFE (3,263k
FFE) due to weaker demand, in particular on Asia-Europe and
Transpacific markets and operational bottlenecks in North
America and Europe. Volumes on East-West decreased mainly
from the headhaul trades on Transpacific and Asia-Europe.
North-South decreased on headhaul trades on West Coast
South America, partly offset by higher backhaul volumes.
Intra-regional volumes decreased, driven by Intra-Europe
volumes. Loaded volumes decreased by 79k FFE or 2.6% com-
pared to Q2 2022.
The average loaded freight rate increased by 42% to 5,046

increased by 63 USD/FFE or 1.3% compared to Q2 2022,
with contract rates surpassing shipment rates which started
to decrease during Q3 2022 due to weakening demand and
normalisation of market conditions.
Total operating costs were 21% higher at USD 8.2bn (USD
6.8bn), mainly driven by higher bunker cost with an increase
of 69%. Network costs excluding bunker costs increased by
4.5%, mainly due to slot charter costs. Container-handling
costs increased by 4.1%, primarily due to higher storage costs
and transportation costs of empty containers. Adjusting
for the positive impact of foreign exchange rates, operating
costs increased by 24%.
Bunker costs increased by 69% to USD 2.4bn (USD 1.4bn),
with an increase in average bunker prices of 78% to 895
USD/tonne (504 USD/tonne), partially offset by a 4.8%
decrease in bunker consumption. Bunker efficiency
decreased by 5.7% to 43.05 g/TEU*NM (40.75 g/TEU*NM).
Unit cost at fixed bunker increased by 16% to 2,474 USD/
FFE (2,136 USD/FFE), driven by higher time-charter equiva-
lent costs, terminal storage costs and transportation costs of
empty containers and higher net slot charter costs. Adjusting
for the positive impact of foreign exchange rates, unit cost at
fixed bunker increased by 19%.
The average operated capacity of 4,298k TEU increased by
2.1%. In the newbuilding programme, there were replace-
ments of twelve vessels and one feeder vessel capable of
running on green fuels at the end of Q3, with an addition
of six vessels announced on 5 October 2022. The fleet con-
sisted of 318 owned and 400 chartered vessels, of which
189k TEU or 4.4% of the fleet were idle (31 vessels), mainly
due to repairs.
Key initiatives in Q3
Ocean continues to partner with key customers, offering
contract customers additional flexibility and space to help
with volatility in their supply chains. More than 1.9m FFE
are currently signed on multi-year deals, and the share of
long-haul contract volumes remained flat at 71% (72%).
By the end of Q3, some markets show signs of normalisation.
For these markets a number of initiatives have been launched
to manage the performance dynamically. Deployed capacity
is actively being adjusted to meet avail able demand, which
helps improve service quality in terms of frequency, reduced
wait times and predictability.
A.P. Moller - Maersk continues to expand on the product
portfolio, offering customers premium products and value-
added-services designed to meet their demands and specific
requirements, such as eco-deliveries, free time extension
and premium quality containers.

Logistics & Services
Logistics & Services continues to build a strong integrated
value proposition and delivered profitable growth in Q3
2022. All Logistics & Services product families achieved
positive revenue growth year on year with favourable
organic growth compared to target as well as inorganic
growth from recent acquisitions. This performance is pri-
marily the result of increased demand for end-to-end
solutions as Logistics & Services continues to gain scale
and add new capabilities to better serve customers
throughout the entire supply chain.
The M&A roadmap continues to progress, and
Logistics & Services has successfully completed
the acquisition of LF Logistics in Q3.
The intended acquisition of Martin Bencher Group
will add further capabilities to the existing port-
folio of project logistics solutions.

integrator strategy. The increase in organic EBITA was
USD 35m. Inorganically, B2C Europe, Visible Supply Chain
Management, Pilot, Senator International and LF Logistics
contributed with a revenue of USD 906m and an EBITA of
USD 51m. LF Logistics was reported for the first time as
part of the Logistics & Services financials in September.
Managed by Maersk revenue increased by USD 258m
to USD 691m (USD 433m), driven by lead logistics
where volumes increased by 875kcbm to 29,604kcbm
(28,729kcbm) as a result of the effect of new business
wins, partially offset by lower organic growth from retail
and lifestyle customers as a result of US economic slow-
down and high inventories at destination. Further, Customs
Services volumes were up by 192k declarations to 1,446k
declarations (1,254k declarations).
Fulfilled by Maersk revenue increased by USD 405m to USD
1.0bn (USD 606m), primarily driven by contract logistics with
additional organic volume and expanded capacity by 718k
sqm (+24%) since Q3 2021 as well as additional 3.1m sqm
from LF Logistics. Revenue in Fulfilled by Maersk was also
positively impacted by e-commerce, driven by the acquisi-
tion of Visible Supply Chain Management and B2C Europe
in H2 2021 and Pilot in Q2 2022. The widely expected global
recession and change in consumer spending has, however,
impacted the performance of e-commerce.
Transported by Maersk revenue was up by USD 918m to
USD 2.5bn (USD 1.6bn), driven by improved rates and higher
volumes in air, and higher rates in intermodal, positively
impacted by the acquisition of Pilot. In air, revenue growth
was the result of the consolidation of Senator International
in Q2 2022 with volumes up by 62% to 73.4k tonne (45.4k
tonne), of which Senator added 43k tonnes.
Gross profit increased by USD 379m to USD 1.0bn (USD
641m), driven by an increase in volumes in lead logistics
and in the number of declarations handled in Customs
Services under Managed by Maersk, volume growth in con-
tract logistics under fulfilled by Maersk, as well as higher
rates in intermodal and increased volumes in air under
Transported by Maersk.
EBITDA increased by USD 127m to USD 394m (USD 267m)
due to the higher revenue, and the EBITDA margin was
9.4% (10.3%).
EBIT increased to USD 258m (USD 194m), and the EBIT mar-
gin was 6.2% (7.5%). The decrease in EBIT margin was driven
by the organic business where products such as lead logis-
tics and contract logistics reported downward pressure on
profitability. Lead logistics margin was impacted by volume
slowdown as a result of US economic downturn, while con-
tract logistics experienced a decrease in margins.
Key initiatives in Q3
In Fulfilled by Maersk, the global warehousing footprint
continued to expand, and 21 new warehouses (net) were
opened in Q3, adding 373k sqm, for a total capacity 3.8m
sqm across 247 warehouses, 24% higher capacity than in
Q3 2021. In addition, LF Logistics was consolidated for the
first time as part of the Logistics & Services financials in
September and further increased the warehousing foot-
print by 3.1m sqm. Combining Logistics & Services’ reach
and product portfolio with LF Logistics’ premium capabil-
ities within omnichannel fulfilment services is a key mile-
stone in the ambition to connect and simplify customers’
global supply chains.
Merger & Acquisitions
The Merger & Acquisition roadmap for Logistics
& Services focuses on facilitator type of acquisi-
tions to expand capabilities. Logistics & Services
announced a number of acquisitions in 2021 and
most recently communicated the intended acqui-
sition of Martin Bencher Group in Q3.
The acquisitions of Visible Supply Chain Manage-
ment, B2C Europe and HUUB provide end-to-end
e-commerce capabilities that will strengthen the
logistics offering within Fulfilled by Maersk. Pilot,
consolidated since 2 May, is complementing these
earlier acquisitions by providing integrated logis-
tics solutions in North America. The acquisition
of Senator International, closed in June, and the
acquisition of LF Logistics, closed in August, bring
capabilities, reach and platform within Trans-
ported by and Fulfilled by Maersk, respectively,
while the Grindrod Intermodal Group will com-
plement both offerings once closed.

In Managed by Maersk, TradeLens continues to expand
its network and now consists of more than 455 network

Financial review 9M 2022
Revenue of USD 10.6bn (USD 6.8bn) was driven by increas-
ing revenue in Managed by Maersk services to USD 1.8bn
(USD 1.1bn), Fulfilled by Maersk services to USD 2.7bn (USD
1.5bn) and Transported by Maersk services to USD 6.1bn
(USD 4.2bn). This increase was the result of intermodal
volumes being up 5% to 3,557k FFE (3,373k FFE), mainly
due to a higher penetration ratio into existing Ocean cus-
tomers and higher rates and increased volumes in air, up
36% to 158k tonne (116k tonne) as a result of the Senator
acquisition. Revenue also increased, driven by an increase
of lead logistics volumes of 22% to 85,696 kcbm (70,109
kcbm), driven by strong growth from the existing customer
base and strong commercial traction in landing new busi-
ness, as well as increased warehousing footprint.
EBITDA increased to USD 1.1bn (USD 688m), and EBIT
increased to USD 675m (USD 486m). When adjusting for the
impact of winding down operations and divesting all assets in
Russia of USD 56m in 9M 2022, EBIT amounts to USD 731m.

by strong growth in Europe and Asia. While rising inflation
and high energy prices put pressure on the cost base, results
remain healthy as terminal tariffs have been increased

Terminals has won the auction for the acquisition
of an area in the Port of Suape, Brazil, with plans to
develop and operate a container and general cargo
terminal. This confirms a strong focus on Brazil as one of
the key Latin American markets, where the company has
already made significant investments in the past years.
Following the announcement of A.P. Moller - Maersk’s
commitment to discontinue activities in Russia ear-
lier this year, Terminals has now divested its entire
30.75% shareholding in Global Ports Investments (GPI) to
Terminals’ long-standing joint venture partner Delo Group
that already owned 30.75% of the shares. The transaction
includes an ability for Terminals to re-enter the partnership
with Delo in the future.
Financial and operational performance
Revenue increased by 8.8% to USD 1.1bn (USD 1.0bn), driven
by higher volume, CPI-related tariff increases and higher
storage income. Volume increased by 1.5% (2.8% like-for-
like) and utilisation increased to 81% (78%), mainly driven by
higher volume in Europe and Asia. Volume from the Ocean
segment increased by 2.8%, and volume from external cus-
tomers increased by 0.7%. CPI-related tariff increases, and
higher global congestion-related storage revenue resulted
in an increase in revenue per move of 7% to USD 335 (USD
314). Cost per move increased by 8% to USD 256 (USD 238),
mainly driven by inflationary labour costs, higher selling,
general and administration costs and higher energy prices.
At fixed foreign exchange rates, volume mix and portfolio
mix, revenue per move increased by 13%, and cost per move
increased by 12%.
EBITDA increased to USD 391m (USD 378m) driven by higher
volume and higher storage revenue resulting in an EBITDA
margin of 35%.
EBIT improved to USD 357m (USD 325m), mainly due to
higher results from joint ventures and associated compa-
nies driven by the sale of GPI, partially offset by impair-
ments. EBIT excluding the impacts of GPI and impairments
was USD 325m.
ROIC (LTM) declined to 8.2% (10.0%) driven by the Global
Port Investment exit and impairments offset by significantly
better operating performance. ROIC adjusted for the GPI
divestment was 12.8%.
CAPEX increased to USD 199m (USD 59m), mainly driven
by a terminal modernisation project in Los Angeles, USA.
In North America, revenue increased slightly driven by con-
tinued strong market conditions with volume growth of
1.0%. Storage income began to decrease toward the end of
the quarter but still remains strong with revenue per move
increasing by 5.0%. Cost per move increased by 6.2%, driven
by higher labour costs and operational costs and higher
energy prices.
In Europe, revenue increased due to higher storage income
and CPI-related tariff increases driving up revenue per move
by 3.7%. Additionally, volume increased by 6.7% driven by
strong demand in Barcelona, Spain, and Aarhus, Denmark.
Cost per move decreased by 3.2%, due to reduced selling
general and administration costs which was partially offset
by higher energy costs.
In Asia, volume increased by 4.4%, mainly driven by higher
volume in Pipavav, India, and Yokohama, Japan, resulting in
improved revenue despite a drop in revenue per move of 12%,
driven by terminal mix. Cost per move improved by 21% driven
by the impact from a cyclone in the same period last year.
In Latin America, volume decreased by 2.7%, largely due
to Itajai, Brazil, where services are gradually being phased
out as the concession is ending in 2023 and the divestment
of a terminal in Cartagena, Colombia. Overall revenue, how-
ever, increased driven by a 18% increase in revenue per move
due to high storage income and CPI-related tariff increases.
The increase in revenue was partly offset by increase in cost
per move by 9.0%, driven by inflation related cost increases
and higher variable concession fees.
In Africa and Middle East, volume decreased by 2.9%,
mainly driven by lower volume in Onne, Nigeria, but over-
all revenue increased due to a 15% increase in revenue
per move on the basis of higher storage income and CPI-
related tariff increases. Cost per move increased by 23%,
due to higher maintenance and repairs and higher variable
concession fees.
Results from joint ventures and associated companies
The share of profits in joint ventures and associated com-
panies was USD 206m (USD 77m), driven by gains from the
divestment of GPI.
Key initiatives in Q3
The new terminal in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, is entering the last

extension of their partnership in the Aqaba Container
Terminal (ACT).
Financial review 9M 2022
Revenue improved to USD 3.4bn (USD 2.9bn), driven
by higher storage income in North America and a 1.4%
increase in volume. Capacity utilisation improved to
79% (76%).
Revenue per move increased to USD 346 (USD 304),
driven by high congestion related storage income and
CPI-related tariff increases. Cost per move increased
to USD 260 (USD 236), driven by high labour inflation,
higher energy prices and higher variable concession fees.
EBITDA improved to USD 1.2bn (USD 1.1bn) and EBIT
decreased to USD 600m (USD 866m), mainly driven by
the divestment of the holding in Global Port Investment
in Russia, offset by impairments. EBIT adjusted for GPI
and the impairments was USD 1.1bn (USD 866m), driven
by higher congestion related income with tariff increases
offsetting higher labour cost and energy prices.

Revenue was USD 591m (USD 486m) with an EBITDA
of USD 127m (USD 81m). EBIT of USD 100m (USD 35m)
increased by USD 65m, mainly driven by a reversal of
previously recognised impairment in Höegh Autoliner
shareholdings, and increased utilisation of the fleet and
higher day rates for Maersk Supply Services.
A.P. Moller - Maersk’s divestment of Maersk Container
Industry was discontinued following regulatory challenges.

Financial and operational performance
Revenue increased to USD 188m (USD 185m), and adjusted
for foreign exchange rate effects, the increase was 10% or
USD 19m. Harbour Towage revenue increased by USD 6m,
and activity increased by 8.6%. The Harbour Towage reve-
nue increase mainly comes from increased tariffs in Europe
and Americas, while the activity increase comes from addi-
tional tug jobs in Australia and Europe. Terminal towage rev-
enue decreased by USD 3m, mainly due to lower activity in
Australia, partly offset by increased activity in Asia, Middle
East & Africa, driven by four additional tugs in Egypt.
EBITDA decreased to USD 53m (USD 54m), due to higher bun-

A.P. MOLLER - MAERSK INTERIM REPORT Q3 | 2 NOVEMBER 2022
For Maersk Container Industry revenue increased by USD
9m to USD 143m (USD 134m), mainly driven by higher pric-
ing. EBITDA increased by USD 18m to USD 27m (USD 9m),
driven by reversal of transaction related costs related to the
unsuccessful sale of the company and increased revenue.
EBIT decreased by USD 7m to USD 2m (USD 9m), driven by
impairment losses and additional depreciations as a result
of the re-classification of Maersk Container Industry from
assets held for sale and partly offset by increased EBITDA.
Key initiatives in Q3
Building on the companies’ individual positions in the floating
wind industry, Maersk Supply Service and Stiesdal Offshore
have entered a strategic partnership to offer combined solu-
tions to the fast-growing sector within offshore wind.
Maersk Supply Service was awarded a Preferred Supplier
Agreement for installation of wind turbines at the Beacon
Wind Park in the USA, expected start in 2028. In addition to
the first awarded contract for the Empire Wind project, this
is the second contract for its newly ordered Wind Installa-
tion Vessel.
Financial review 9M 2022
Revenue, with an increase of USD 187m, was USD 1.7bn
(USD 1.5bn), EBITDA was USD 287m (USD 265m) and EBIT
was USD 185m (USD 140m).
Revenue in Towage was USD 578m (USD 550m). EBITDA
was USD 169m (USD 165m), mainly driven by increased
volumes and tariffs in Europe and Asia, Middle East &
Africa, partly offset by higher bunker costs and negative
currency exchange rate impact. EBIT was USD 80m (USD
93m), mainly due to the withdrawal from operations in
Russia in Q1 2022.
Maersk Supply Service reported a revenue of USD 291m
(USD 212m) and an EBITDA of USD 17m (USD 7m), mainly
driven by increased utilisation of time charter fleet and
higher day rates. EBIT was positive USD 14m (negative USD
25m), driven by improved EBITDA and gain of sold assets
in 2022.
Maersk Container Industry reported a revenue of USD 418m
(USD 512m). Third-party customers accounted for 40% of
the revenue. EBITDA was USD 40m (USD 55m) and EBIT was
USD 15m (USD 66m).

operational future expected synergies. The accounting for the busi-
ness combination is considered provisional as at 30 September 2022,
as valuation of intangible assets is not yet finalised.

Note 5 Commitments
Note 6 Accounting policies, judgements and significant estimates
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the

The accounting policies, judgements and significant estimates are
consistent with those applied in the Annual Report 2021.
Change to reportable segments
As part of the refinement of A.P. Moller - Maersk’s segment struc-
ture, changes to the segment structure were made with effect from
1 January 2022. The changes involve moving the Svitzer activity from
Terminals & Towage to Manufacturing & Others. In addition, the Man-
ufacturing & Others segment has been renamed Towage & Maritime
Services, while the Terminals & Towage segment has been renamed
Terminals. Comparison figures for note 1 have been restated as if the
change had been implemented in 2021. The reportable segments are
disclosed below.
The allocation of business activities into segments reflects
A.P. Moller - Maersk’s character as an integrated container logistics
business and is in line with the internal management reporting.
The reportable segments are as follows:
Ocean Global container shipping activities, including strategic transhipment hubs and sale of bunker oil
Logistics & Services Integrated transportation, fulfilment and management solutions, including landside and air transportation
as well as warehousing and supply chain management offerings
Terminals Gateway terminal activities
Towage & Maritime Services Towage and related marine activities, production of reefer containers, providing offshore supply service and
trading and other businesses

Russia/Ukraine impact
Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022,
A.P. Moller - Maersk decided to withdraw from doing business in
Russia during Q1 2022.
As a result, the recoverable amounts of assets in Russia and Ukraine
have been reassessed, impairment losses have been recognised, and
provisions have been made to cover costs relating to the withdrawal
from operations. This negatively impacted the Q1 2022 income state-
ment by USD 718m.
As a consequence of the ongoing process to minimise the financial
impact, the Q2 2022 income statement was positively impacted
by USD 94m, and the Q3 2022 income statement was positively
impacted by a further USD 92m.
The positive impact subsequent to the write-downs in Q1 is mainly
related to the reversal of impairment losses and provisions of USD
85m during Q2 2022 and USD 21m during Q3 2022 which were
mainly a result of successfully evacuating more containers than
previously anticipated, as well as the divestment of GPI of USD 82m
in Q3 2022.
The income statement for the first nine months was therefore neg-
atively impacted by USD 532m, of which USD 440m is impairment
losses, USD 39m is operating costs and USD 53m of the recycling of
translation reserve loss from the divestment of GPI.
The impact has been classified as non-cash items in the cash flow
statement.
On 5 October, it was announced that an order of an additional six
large ocean-going vessels that can sail on green methanol has been
placed. The six vessels will be built by Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI)
and have a nominal capacity of approx. 17,000 containers (Twenty
Foot Equivalent – TEU).
They will replace existing capacity in the fleet. With the order,
A.P. Moller - Maersk has ordered a total of 19 vessels with dual- fuel
engines able to operate on green methanol. Delivery is expected
in 2025.
