Anniversary and
crossroads
OUR EMPLOYEES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
While we celebrated 160 years in business, the Wilhelmsen
group had yet another calendar year full of events. COVID-19
continued to be a major influence in 2021, but there were
also inflationary concerns, supply chain issues and ongoing
geopolitical tensions. The fight for talent and pressure on wages
were additional challenges we continue to face.
Despite the many challenges, we also saw a solid uptick in
global shipping activities leading to an 8% income increase for
the group. This is thanks to several thousand dedicated people
in the Wilhelmsen group working across the largest maritime
network in the world including some 10 000 seafarers. Our
strong results can be dedicated to our hard working and
resilient employees, and to our loyal customers. Thank you!
THE GREEN CHALLENGE
In addition to solid financial results, we continued to build for
the future. Our internal company structure was redesigned,
most notably with the establishment of our New Energy
segment and the USD 500 million investment ambition within
renewable energy and decarbonisation. We have also decided
to have a net zero carbon footprint from our own operations
before 2030.
Our extensive maritime offshore experience and
infrastructure, combined with our ambitions and ability to
facilitate innovative partnerships, is our recipe for exploring
opportunities related to the green shift.
While we see great business potential related to green
opportunities, we stand at a crossroads. Customers want to
explore new energy solutions, but struggle to make the big step,
as there are still too many uncertainties related to both the
availability and price of renewable energy. Wilhelmsen would
like to explore new technological solutions but are challenged
with a slow-moving or complete lack of regulatory environment.
Who should make the first move? With the “code red for
humanity” report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, we all know that we need to step up to significantly
reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are threatening our
common future. We are ready to make the necessary steps,
but are dependent on banks supporting us, customers willing
to take the risk, authorities paving the way for new energy
solutions and a safe environment for businesses taking action.
IF I WERE 25 YEARS OLD
If I was fresh out of university now, I would consider my career
path carefully, and my values would play an important factor
in my plans. Attracting not only newly educated talent, but
seasoned professionals will demand a sound and transparent
company profile. People want to work for companies that make
a difference, that dare to challenge and prove that things can
always get better. Although I am biased, I think Wilhelmsen is
such a place, and we are demonstrating it by how we act. In this
report and our ESG report especially, you can read about the big
and small efforts we are making to decarbonise the maritime
industry through zero emission vessels to 3D printed spare
parts produced locally on demand, just to name two examples.
You will also read about how we spend time and resources in
ensuring our employees continue to build their competencies
and experience.
I am immensely proud of our company, and our people who
kept everything running regardless of the obvious challenges.
2022 and onwards will be interesting and exciting. I am curious
to know how fast we can make the necessary steps towards
a greener future and ensure long term profitability for our
shareholders. I am confident we will keep making sustainable
choices and continue to be driven forward by our people
and culture.
*Writing my CEO letter at the beginning of February 2022, as
we prepare for the launch of this report in March, the world is
very different and much darker place. The awful situation in
Ukraine is producing unwanted and unforeseen humanitarian,
geopolitical and economic issues. We are all affected. For the
group, our practical support for our Ukrainian colleagues at sea
and onshore is unwavering, and I speak on behalf of everyone
at Wilhelmsen in sending our sympathies to everyone impacted
by the conflict in the region.

MAIN DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION
The Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding group (Wilhelmsen or group)
is an industrial holding company within the maritime industry .
The group’s activities are carried out through fully and partly
owned entities, most of which are among the market leaders
within their segments. Wilhelmsen’s ambition is to develop
companies within maritime services, shipping, logistics,
renewables, and related infrastructure through active ownership.
Guided by its vision of shaping the maritime industry,
Wilhelmsen has in 2021 continued the work to support
transition to a more sustainable future. This includes projects
and new investments within energy transition and the
decarbonisation of shipping.
Wilhelmsen also continued to deliver return to its shareholders,
with an increase in operating result, net profit, share price, and
dividend payment for the year.
In 2021, the global economy rebounded while large parts of the
world were still in partial lockdown due to the pandemic. This
created a strain on global supply chains as well as inflationary
pressure. The Wilhelmsen operating companies benefitted from
the increase in economic activities, but the ongoing pandemic
also continued to affect the group’s operation. Most office staff
were required to work from home during large parts of the year,
and the situation related to crew changes remained challenging.
The board would once again like to thank all crew and onshore
employees for their extraordinary efforts during the pandemic.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen re-designed the portfolio to intensify the
growth of maritime service and increase the focus on renewable
energy and decarbonisation. In addition to accelerating the
transition of existing businesses, Wilhelmsen decided to invest
in new businesses related to the renewable sector. A new
business segment named New Energy was established, including
among others, the ongoing transformation of NorSea Group,
offshore wind activities, and activities within autonomous
shipping and decarbonisation solutions.
Wilhelmsen is now organised around three distinct
business segments:
• Maritime Services.
• New Energy.
• Strategic Holdings and Investments.
Maritime Services deliver value creating solutions to the global
merchant fleet, focusing on Marine Products, Ships Agency, and
Ship Management. In 2021, Wilhelmsen further expanded its
range of products and services, including specialist lubrications
and segment specific vessel management. Supporting the
shipping industry during the pandemic continued as a focus
area, including crew changes. Total income for Maritime
Services was up for the year, while EBITDA was stable.
The formation of the New Energy segment brings together
several Wilhelmsen companies, joint ventures, and partner-
ships with unique competencies which complement each
other. Focus is on creating new opportunities and partnerships
in renewables, zero-emission shipping, and marine
digitalisation. In 2021, the group made further initiatives
related to offshore wind licensing, marine minerals, and
hydrogen vessels. Following further investment in Edda Wind
ASA, the company completed a public listing in December.
Total income and EBITDA for New Energy were
up for the year.
The two main assets of the Strategic Holdings and Investments
segment are the shareholdings in Wallenius Wilhelmsen
ASA, and the shareholding in Hyundai Glovis which is owned
through Treasure ASA. Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA had a
positive development during the year, with a strong increase in
both net profit and market value. For Hyundai Glovis, the share
price and market value was down for the year.
The Wilhelmsen group maintained a strong equity base
throughout 2021. By the end of the year, the equity ratio based
on book values was 65% and equity attributable to equity
holders of the company exceeded USD 2 billion.
Liquidity also remained strong. Cash and cash equivalents
totalled USD 231 million by end of the year, with total liquidity
increasing to USD 1 054 million if including all financial assets.
The main loan facility in Maritime Service is maturing in 2022
Directors’ report
for 2021
Highlights for2021
• New group structure focusing on Maritime Services, New Energy, and
Strategic Holdings and Investments.
• Enabling safe and consistent operations during an ongoing pandemic.
• Public listing of Edda Wind ASA.
• Increased operating income and prot.
• Increased net prot from joint ventures and associates.
• Paid dividend of NOK 8.00 per share.
• 26% shareholder return.
Group — Director’s report Wilh.WilhelmsenHoldingASAAnnualReport2021 — Page 15
and the main loan facility in New Energy matures in 2023.
A refinancing process has been initiated for both.
Wilhelmsen’s goal is to provide shareholders with a high
return over time through a combination of rising value for the
company’s shares and payment of dividend. To strengthen the
alignment of the senior executives’ and shareholders’ long-term
interests, the long-term incentive scheme for senior executives
is based on an increase in value adjusted equity above certain
thresholds and other long term strategic targets.
The Wilhelmsen share price reflected a general positive market
sentiment, ending the year with a strong gain. In 2021, total
weighted return including share price development and paid
dividend was 26.4%, based on a total return of 27.2% for the
WWI share and a total return of 23.8% for the WWIB share.
Wilhelmsen has an objective of consistent yearly dividend paid
twice annually. A first dividend of NOK 5.00 per share was paid in
May, and a second dividend of NOK 3.00 per share was paid in
December. The first dividend included NOK 2.00 in extraordinary
dividend to compensate for the reduced dividend payout in 2020.
In September, Wilhelmsen reduced the share capital through
cancellation of 537 092 own Class A shares and 1 286 732 own
Class B shares. After the capital reduction, the company has
44 580 000 shares divided into 34 000 000 Class A shares and
10 580 000 Class B shares.
The board believes sound corporate governance is the
foundation for profitable growth and a healthy company
culture. Good governance contributes to reduced risk
and creates value over time for shareholders and other
stakeholders. The board is committed to a sustainable strategy
which is a vital prerequisite for Wilhelmsen to be a profitable
and responsible player in the industry and society. In 2021,
ethics and anti-corruption, health, safety and wellness,
cyber security, business offering and model innovation,
decarbonisation of shipping and maritime services, renewable
energy transition, and reducing marine litter and pollution
received particular attention.
In 2022, Wilhelmsen will continue to develop the group to the
benefit of customers, shareholders, and the wider society, building
on a more than 160-year history of shaping the maritime industry.

Group — Director’s report Wilh.WilhelmsenHoldingASAAnnualReport2021 — Page 16
Total income for Wilhelmsen was USD 874 million in 2021, up
8% from 2020. Income was up for both Maritime Services and
New Energy.
Group EBITDA came in at USD 141 million for the year, up 2%.
Maritime Services EBITDA was USD 89 million in 2021,
unchanged from 2020. A general increase in most shipping
activities had a positive impact on both Marine Products and
Ships Agency, while contribution from Ship Management and
non-marine products were down.
New Energy EBITDA was USD 60 million for the year, up 10%.
The increase followed improved contribution from both NorSea
Group and NorSea Wind.
The Strategic Holdings and Investments segment had a
negative EBITDA of USD 8 million.
Share of profit from associates was USD 101 million for the
year, compared with a loss of USD 50 million one year earlier.
The improvement was due to a strong recovery in the financial
performance of Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA.
Change in fair value financial assets was negative with USD
107 million for the year. This followed lower value of the
investment in Hyundai Glovis.
Other financials were a net expense of USD 1 million in 2021,
with gain on current financial investments and dividend
income offsetting interest expenses.
Tax was included with an expense of USD 13 million, mainly
related to Maritime Services.
Net profit to equity holders of the company was USD 72 million
in 2021, down from USD 117 million in 2020.
Other comprehensive income was negative with USD 35
million, resulting in a total comprehensive income to equity
holders of the company of USD 41 million for the year.
Cash ow, liquidity, and debt
The group had cash and cash equivalents of USD 231 million
by the end 2021, down from USD 269 million by the end of
2020. Cash flow from operating activities was down from
a strong 2020, while investments and dividend payments
were up.
Cash flow from operating activities was USD 122 million in 2021.
This compares with a net EBITDA and tax expense of USD
128 million.
Cash flow from investing activities was negative with USD 53
million, mainly related to the New Energy segment including
the increased shareholding in Edda Wind ASA.
Cash flow from financing activities was negative with USD
106 million in 2021. This included an increase in dividend
payments, partly compensating for a low payout in 2020.
By the end of 2021, the group had liquid financial assets of
USD 1 054 million. In addition to cash and cash equivalents,
this included current financial investments and non-current
financial assets reported as financial assets to fair value.
The parent company carries out active financial asset
management of part of the group’s liquidity. The current
financial investment portfolio includes listed equities and
investment grade bonds. The value of the portfolio amounted
to USD 135 million at the end of 2021.
The group’s investments classified as financial assets to fair
value had a combined value of USD 688 million by the end
of the year. The largest investment was the 11% shareholding
in Hyundai Glovis held by Treasure ASA, valued at USD
583 million.
The main group companies fund their investments and
operations on a standalone basis, with no recourse to the parent
company. The primary funding source is the commercial bank
loan market.
By end of 2021, the group’s total interest-bearing debt including
leasing debt was USD 642 million. Debt was down in New
Energy partly due to FX effect from converting NOK debt into
USD, while debt was up in Strategic Holdings and Investment
partly due to a new lease arrangement for the corporate
head office.

Total income from Ships Service was USD 502 million in 2021,
up 4% from the previous year. A general increase in most
shipping activities lifted total income for both Marine Products
and Ships Agency. Cruise activities also improved but remained
below pre-pandemic levels. Sale of non-marine products was
down from a strong 2020.
EBITDA was also up for the year, supported by the increase in
total income.
Ship Management
Wilhelmsen Ship Management provides full technical
management, crewing and related services for all major
vessel types. Wilhelmsen Ship Management is fully owned
by Wilhelmsen.
Total income for Ship Management was USD 55 million in
2021. This was up 15% from 2020 when compared with the
restated income reflecting the new segment reporting.
The increase in income followed further growth in
vessels on technical management, including one reported
on a gross revenue basis, while income from layup
management was down.
EBITDA was down for the year, but this was more than
compensated for through an increase in share of profit from
associates.
Other activities

Wilhelmsen) and certain other activities reported under the
Maritime Services segment.
Total income for Insurance Services was USD 3 million for the
year, up 7%, while EBITDA was stable.

activities reported under the New Energy segment.
Total income for New Energy was USD 310 million in 2021, up
12% from 2020. Income was up for most activities.

RISK REVIEW
The Wilhelmsen group consists of a diversified
portfolio of operating companies, and strategic holdings
and investments. Most activities are within or related
to the maritime industry, where Wilhelmsen has
extensive competence and a long experience in
managing risks.
Risk management
The group is committed to managing risks in a sound
manner related to its businesses and operations. To
accomplish this, the governing concept of conscious strategy
and controllable procedures for risk mitigation ultimately
provides a positive impact on profitability. Governing
boards, management, and employees will monitor
the environment in which the companies operate, and
implement measures to mitigate risks, prepare to act upon
unusual observations, threats or incidents, and respond
to risks to mitigate consequences. The group has put in
place a risk monitoring process based on identification of
risks for each business unit, and with a group risk matrix
presented to the board on a quarterly basis for review and
necessary actions.
Strategic Holdings
and Investments

• WilNor Governmental Services (87.8%)
• Financial investments
• Holding activities
Group — Director’s report Wilh.WilhelmsenHoldingASAAnnualReport2021 — Page 20
Main risks
An overview of main risks and mitigation actions defined in the
group risk matrix are outlined in the table above.
In addition, the group’s exposure to, and mitigation of, certain
financial risk is further described in note 19 to the 2021 group
accounts.
Working environment and occupational health
The company conducts its business with respect for human
rights and labour standards, including conventions and
guidelines related to the prevention of child or forced labour,
minimum wage and salary, working conditions and freedom
of association. Employees and external stakeholders are
encouraged to report on non-compliant behaviour through the
group’s global whistleblowing system.
Exposure hours
In 2021, there were around 42.8 million exposure hours (work
hours) in the group. Vessel based operations accounted for 79% of
total exposure hours and onshore operations accounted for 21%.
Sickness absence and occupational disease
The group’s variety of ongoing initiatives to maintain a healthy
work environment continued to be important in the second year
of the pandemic. The focus was on physical and mental health,
working conditions including working from home, employee
assistance program, safe social activities, employee engagement
surveys and opportunities for personal development.
The sickness absence rate was 2.05% for onshore operations
and 0.02% on vessels, in line with previous year. There were two
onshore occupational disease cases recorded in 2021 resulting
from work-related stress.
Turnover
The turnover rate for employees was 12.74% in 2021, in
line with previous years. The turnover rate varies between
business units.
Lost time injuries and total recordable cases
Regrettably, there was one work related fatality of a seafarer in
2021, re-enforcing the need to continuously apply and improve
measures that secure a safe work environment and a robust
safety culture for all employees.
The lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) rate for sailing
personnel was 0.35, within the target not to exceed 0.40. The
total recordable case frequency (TRCF) rate was 1.26, within
the target not to exceed 2.80. The targets will remain the
same for 2022.
During the year, safety campaigns focused on COVID-19 measures
and mental health and wellness. Crew changes were conducted
where possible, when risk mitigation conditions were met, and
according to international and local guidelines. Management
continued to be active in measures to enable the safe and
unhindered movement of seafarers to and from their workplace.
For onshore operations, campaigns focused on safety risks,
COVID-19 measures, and mental and physical health and
wellness including the working from home situation.
The LTIF rate onshore was 0.36 in 2021, within target not to
exceed 0.40. The TRCF rate result of 0.52 was within target not
to exceed 1.00. The targets will remain the same for 2022.
All reported incidents were investigated to avoid similar
incidents in the future, improve necessary training, and
awareness measures.
Working committee and executive committee
The management cooperates closely with employees through
several bodies, including the joint working committee and
the executive committee for industrial democracy in foreign
trade shipping. This cooperation gives valuable input to solve
company related issues in a constructive way. In 2021, both
committees held official meetings according to plan.
The joint working committee discusses issues related to health,
work environment and safety.
The executive committee for industrial democracy in foreign
trade shipping considers general business, financial and
governance issues of importance to the company and the
workforce.
ORGANISATION AND PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT
Workforce
The group’s head office is in Norway, and the group has
239 offices in 60 countries within its controlled structure.
The group employed 10 988 seafarers and 4 476 land-based
employees at the end of 2021.
Equality and diversity
Wilhelmsen has a clear policy stating that employees have the
right to equal opportunities. Harassment and discrimination
based on race, gender or similar grounds, or other behaviour that
may be perceived as threatening or degrading, is not acceptable.
Females represent 36% of the land-based work force, 22% of
senior management positions, and 1% of the seafarer work
force. The group’s target is to have at least 40% of each gender
in senior management positions by 2030.

Group — Director’s report Wilh.WilhelmsenHoldingASAAnnualReport2021 — Page 21
One of the five members of the company’s group management
is female and two of the five directors on the board of directors
of Wilhelmsen are female.
In 2021, a gender pay gap analysis was conducted for employees
in Norway, pointing to some need for improvements including
finetuning of job profiles. The analysis is included in the
group’s ESG report, available on wilhelmsen.com.
Driving performance
Wilhelmsen strives to maintain a performance culture where
engaged employees deliver the right results the right way and
are rewarded accordingly.
Employee performance and engagement is measured through
annual surveys and performance appraisals.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen conducted an employee engagement
survey including specific questions related to the working from
home situation in response to the pandemic.
The results point to continued positive engagement and mental
well-being, and employees have been able to carry out their
work equally well from home as in the workplace.
There is always room for improvement. Senior
management and individual managers in all locations were
required to conduct follow up discussions with their teams.
Where results were less than the expected benchmark,
managers were required to implement specific actions to
improve results.
Compensation and benets
The purpose of Wilhelmsen’s compensation and benefit
framework is to drive performance and to attract and retain
employees with the right experience and knowledge deemed
necessary to achieve the company’s business objectives and
strategic ambitions. The framework takes local regulations
and competition into account, as well as the responsibility and
complexity of the position.
The bonus schemes are one of several instruments to drive
performance. Bonus is paid if set bonus targets are reached.
Compensation to executives is described in the Remuneration
report available on Wilhelmsen.com.
Investing in competence
Learning and innovation is one of the group’s core values,
and Wilhelmsen places particular emphasis on continuous
learning through its learn-share-apply method. The main
learning method is through on-the-job experiences, tasks and
problem-solving feedback, coaching (formal and informal) and
networks. Formal classroom courses, e-learning, seminars, and
videos supplement this approach.
A learning organisation with motivated employees
contributes to efficient operations and has a positive impact
on the financial performance.
Personal development plans for all employees are integrated
in the performance appraisal and review process. In 2021, the
average hours of formal training recorded per employee was
eight hours, consistent with previous years.
Developing leaders for the future
To meet challenging and changing environments, Wilhelmsen
is dependent on highly capable leaders.
In 2021, approximately 1000 leaders completed two modules
of the group’s continuous leadership development journey.
The modules were 8-12 weeks in duration and focused on the
group’s leadership expectations and leading in challenging
times. Additional modules will be undertaken in 2022.
Whistle blowing and anti-corruption
In 2021, there were 28 whistles received related to allegations
of fraud/corruption, data protection, health and safety, and HR
related matters.
In 26 of the whistles, the reported issues have been concluded
with appropriate action taken, while two were pending a
conclusion at year end.
The COVID-19 situation has continued to be a challenge during
2021 for compliance activities that require travel and physical
presence at our locations, such as investigations and audits.
Scheduled internal business standards audits were postponed
due to the situation, and follow up of potential irregularities
were conducted by providing guidance and instructions to local
and regional resources. Some internal fraud cases have been
detected, with three cases being reported to the police.
To continue competence building with employees, the new
business standards program was rolled out in 2021 with a
100% participation rate. The program includes the areas of
anticorruption, theft and fraud, whistleblowing, competition
law and, personal data protection. A refresher version of this
program will be rolled out in 2022.
ENVIRONMENT
Wilhelmsen works to manage environmental risks and reduce
the environmental impact of our own and our customers’
operations. Significant aspects include greenhouse gas
emissions; pollution to air, land and water, and biodiversity.
When delivering full technical management, crewing and
related services for all major vessel types, Wilhelmsen is in
a good position to influence compliant, sensible, safe and
environmentally sound operations for vessel owners. The
ongoing goal is to work with customers to optimize vessel
and voyage operations, collaboration on the decarbonisation
of shipping, and development of alternative fuels
including hydrogen.
Operational sites and bases set environmental targets and
improvement projects based on their individual site risk
assessments. The operations for Wilhelmsen Chemicals
and NorSea Group are certified according to the ISO 14001
standard. Focus areas include energy and emissions, material
inputs, water use, waste and recycling, oil separators, tanks
and chemical and handling. Activities related to energy
transition and emissions reductions in NorSea Group include
the installation of shore power, gradual electrification of the
machine park, and supporting infrastructure development to
contribute to the hydrogen and carbon capture value chains.
Wilhelmsen promotes responsible consumption and recycling
programs onboard and onshore and is proactive in reducing
plastics in vessel operations by introducing requirements
towards suppliers and facilitating industry initiatives to reduce
single use plastics in the maritime industry.
Climate risk and opportunities
Wilhelmsen is exposed to physical and transition climate risks
on a general basis and related to specific group companies.
Group — Director’s report Wilh.WilhelmsenHoldingASAAnnualReport2021 — Page 22
The energy transition and the decarbonisation of shipping
are the backdrop for the transition risks for the group,
but also present significant opportunities. Wilhelmsen
continues to work with partners to drive energy infrastructure
transformation and maritime decarbonisation. This includes
services to the offshore wind industry, projects related to zero
emission and autonomous vessel operation, enabling the
hydrogen value chain, and digital services.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen established its greenhouse gas emissions
inventory for scope 1 and 2 emissions in consolidated
companies. Several data collection and reporting improvement
actions have been identified to continue to build a robust
reporting framework over time. The group established long
term ambitions towards net
zero emissions, and science-based
targets for consolidated companies will be developed in 2022.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The board believes sound corporate governance is a foundation
for profitable growth and that it provides a healthy company
culture. A good governance contributes to reducing risk and
creating long-term value for shareholders and other
stakeholders.
Wilhelmsen observes the Norwegian Code of Practice for
corporate governance, in addition to requirements specified
in the Norwegian Public Companies Act and the Norwegian
Accounting Act. The board’s corporate governance report for
2021 can be found on wilhelmsen.com. It is the board’s view
that the company has an appropriate governance structure
and that it is managed in a satisfactory way. The corporate
governance report is to be considered by the annual general
meeting on 27 April 2022.
SUSTAINABILITY
Wilhelmsen assesses environmental, social and governance
(ESG) issues in its investment analysis, business decisions,
ownership practices and financial reporting. The company has
a sustainability policy that addresses human rights, working
standards and environmental responsibility.
UN Global Compact (UNGC) engagement
Wilhelmsen subscribes to the ten principles of the UNGC and
works actively to partner with other serious actors to contribute to
the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. During
2021, the group contributed to task forces related to ocean
health, climate, crew change challenges, and marine pollution.
Sustainability governance
The board is committed to a sustainable strategy and
acknowledges that it is a vital prerequisite for Wilhelmsen to be
a profitable and responsible player in the industry and society
at large. Wilhelmsen issues an environmental, social and
governance (ESG) report following the guidelines set forward
in the Global Reporting Initiative’s sustainability reporting
standards. The report describes how Wilhelmsen integrates
ESG factors with long-term profitability.
The ESG report is available on wilhelmsen.com.

where 14 material topics were identified. The group
determined four strategic topics of focus for activities and
reporting.
• Decarbonisation and green growth.
• Health and safety.
• Equality and diversity.
• Compliance and value chain management.
These topics will be integrated in the group’s strategy and
reported in the ESG report.
Stakeholder engagement
The company is regularly in dialogue with key stakeholders
who engage in issues relating to the maritime industry
and the activities of the Wilhelmsen group. The dialogue
contributes to understanding the expectations of the
community and transferring them to the group. It also
enables the company to communicate decisions to
stakeholders and provide them with explanations for our
underlying motives.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen engaged in dialogues with governments,
investors, non-governmental organisations and other
stakeholders discussing topics related to the group or industry
at large. Topics covered included financial issues, compliance,
innovation, decarbonisation of shipping, renewable energy
and ESG in general.
The work of the nomination committee follows the guidelines
approved by the annual general meeting on 30 April 2019.
In line with the guidelines and the procedures described on
wilhelmsen.com, shareholders and other interested parties
have been invited to put forward candidates for the board
and the nomination committee. The committee has also been
in contact with shareholders, the board, and the company’s
executive personnel as part of its work on proposing
candidates for election.

company, acquire up to 10% of the company’s own issued
shares. The authorisation is valid until the annual general

Wilhelmsen cancelled 537 092 own Class A shares and 1 286 732
own Class B shares acquired in 2019. The company presently do
not own any own shares.
OUTLOOK
Group business drivers and strategic focus
Wilhelmsen’s ambition is to develop successful businesses
within maritime services, shipping, logistics, renewables, and
related infrastructure through active ownership.
Since last year’s strategic review, “facts on the ground” have
changed, warranting a greater macroeconomic focus. The board
and management have in its latest strategic review decided to
focus on inflation and its potential implications for the group,
in addition to broader macroeconomic developments, the
energy transition, and technological developments.
The impact on Wilhelmsen from the invasion of Ukraine is
uncertain. The group has limited direct operations in Ukraine
and Russia.
Outlook for Maritime Services
Maritime Services deliver value creating solutions to the global
merchant fleet, and with Ships Service and Ship Management
as the two main operating entities. In 2022, Ships Services will
be re-organized and Ships Agency activities separated into a
new entity named Port Services.
Ships Service, after separating out Ships Agency and certain
other activities, deliver a wide range of products to the merchant
fleet globally. The present high activity level within most shipping
segments has a positive impact on operating income, and with
an upside potential related to activity level within cruise.
Port Services (previously Ships Agency) deliver husbandry
and agency services in 2 000 ports globally. The safe handling
of services during a pandemic will continue to impact the
operation in 2022.
Ship Management provides full technical management,
crewing and related services for all major vessel types. Recent
expansion into the container and tanker segments and offshore
wind, mainly through joint ventures, will create a platform for
further growth.
Outlook for New Energy
The formation of the New Energy segment in 2021 brough
together a number of Wilhelmsen companies, joint ventures
and partnerships with unique competencies which
complement each other. Focus will be on creating new
opportunities and collaborations in renewables, zero-emission
shipping, and marine digitalisation. At the start of 2022, the two
largest operations are in NorSea Group and Edda Wind ASA.
NorSea Group, where Wilhelmsen has a 75.2% shareholding,
provides supply bases and integrated logistics solution to the
offshore industry The present offshore activity level is expected
to remain in the medium term, including seasonal variations.
Edda Wind ASA, where Wilhelmsen has a 25.7% shareholding,
provides service to the global offshore wind industry. Early
2022, Edda Wind ordered three new vessels, increasing its
future fleet capacity from eight to 11 vessels. Edda Wind expects
that having a number of vessels under construction with
attractive delivery dates and firm cost places the company in a
favorable position.
In February, Wilhelmsen agreed to acquire a 21% stake in
Reach Subsea ASA. Reach Subsea operates remotely-operated
underwater vehicles, and is listed on Oslo Børs.
Outlook for Strategic Holdings and Investments
This includes the strategic holdings in Wallenius Wilhelmsen
ASA and Treasure ASA, other financial and non-financial
investments, and other activities reported under the Strategic
Holdings and Investments segment.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA, where Wilhelmsen has a 37.8%
shareholding, is a market leader in shipping and logistics
services to the global automotive, rolling equipment, and
breakbulk industries. Wallenius Wilhelmsen expects the
supply-demand balance in its shipping activities to remain
favorable over the mid-term, and for logistics volumes to
benefit from improved automotive semiconductor chip supply.
Treasure ASA, where Wilhelmsen has a 74.8% shareholding, is
an investment company with an 11% shareholding in Hyundai
Glovis as the main asset. Treasure ASA expects the value of its
main asset to fluctuate in line with the general equity indexes
of the Korean Stock Exchange.
Outlook for the Wilhelmsen group
Wilhelmsen holds leading positions in several maritime
industry segments. The combined forces of extensive business
knowledge, global network, innovative organisation, and strong
solidity will continue to support the development of the group.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Associates
Associates are all entities over which the group has signicant inuence but not
control or control jointly. This is generally the case where the group holds between
20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting after initially being recognised at cost in the
consolidated balance sheet.
Joint arrangement
Under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are
classied as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classication depends
on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal
structure of the joint arrangement. The group has assessed the nature of its joint
arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.
Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method after initially
being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.
Equity method
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised
at cost and adjusted subsequently to recognise the group’s share of the post-
acquisition prots after tax of the investee in income statement, and the group’s
share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other
comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint
ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
Sale and dilution of the share of associate companies is recognised in the income
statement when the transactions occur for the group.
Where the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals
or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term
receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates and joint
ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of
an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity-accounted
investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the group.
The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment
when impairment indicators are present.
When the group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment
because of a loss of control, joint control or signicant inuence, any retained
interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying
amount recognised in prot or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying
amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as
an associate, joint venture or nancial asset. In addition, any amounts previously
recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted
for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may
mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are
reclassied to prot or loss.
If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but signicant
inuence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously
recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassied to prot or loss where
appropriate.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
The consolidated nancial statements consists of all entities controlled by Wilh.
Wilhelmsen Holding ASA as at 31 December 2021.
Control is achieved when the group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to aect those returns
through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the
date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from
the date that control ceases.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions
between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated
unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred
asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
Non-controlling interests in the prot/loss and equity of subsidiaries are shown
separately in the consolidated statement of income statement, statement of
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet
respectively.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Properties, vessels and other tangible assets acquired by group companies are
stated at historical cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis. The
carrying value of tangible assets equals the historical cost less accumulated
depreciation and any impairment charges. The group’s aquisition costs are
recognised in the income statement when they arise. Aquisition costs are
capitalised to the extent that they are directly related to the acquisition of the
asset. Land is not depreciated. Other tangible assets are depreciated over the
following expected useful lives:
Each component of a tangible asset which is signicant for the total cost of the
item will be depreciated separately. Components with similar useful lives will be
included in a single component.
The estimated residual value and expected useful life of long-lived assets are
reviewed at each balance sheet date, and where they dier signicantly from
previous estimates, depreciation charges will be changed accordingly going
forward.
Impairment
The group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether property,
vessels and other tangible assets is impaired and to account for any impairment
loss identied.
At each reporting date the accounts are assessed whether there is an indication
that an asset may be impaired. Assets that are subject to amortisation or
depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If any
such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required,
estimates of the asset’s recoverable amount are done. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identiable cash ows (cash-generating units – “CGU”). The recoverable
amount is the highest of the fair market value of the asset, less cost to sell, and the
net present value (”NPV”) of future estimated cash ow from the employment of
the asset (“value in use”).
The NPV is based on a discount rate according to a weighted average cost of capital
(“WACC”) reecting the company’s required rate of return. The WACC is calculated
based on the company’s long-term borrowing rate and a risk-free rate plus a risk
premium for the equity. If the recoverable amount is lower than the book value,
impairment has occurred, and the asset shall be revalued. Impairment losses are
recognised in prot or loss. Non-nancial assets other than goodwill that suered
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting
date.
The group has nancial models which calculate and determine the value in use
through a combination of actual and expected cash ow generation discounted to
present value. The expected future cash ow generation and models are based on
assumptions and estimates.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of
any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of
any previous equity interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the identiable
net assets of the acquired subsidiary, joint venture or associate. Goodwill arising
from the acquisition of subsidiaries is classied as an intangible asset. Goodwill
acquired through business combinations are allocated to the relevant cash-
generating unit (“CGU”).
Other intangible assets
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised
as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the
design and testing of identiable and unique software products controlled by the
group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
• it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be
available for use;
• management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;
• it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future
economic benets;
• adequate technical, nancial and other resources to complete the development
and to use or sell the software product are available;
• and the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development
can be reliably measured.
Trademark, technology/licenses and customer relationship have a nite life and
are recognised at historical cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is
calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and
licenses over their estimated useful life. Capitalised expenses related to other
intangible assets are amortised over the expected useful lives in accordance with
the straight-line method.
Amortisation of intangible xed assets is based on the following expected useful lives:
Impairment
The group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether goodwill
or other intangible asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss
identied.
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of an interest in an associated company is
included under investment in associated companies and tested for impairment
as part of the carried amount of the investment when impairment indicators is
present. Goodwill have an indenite useful life not subject to amortisation and is
tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less impairment losses. Gain or
loss on the sale of a business includes the carried amount of goodwill related to
the sold business.
For impairment testing goodwill is allocated to relevant CGU. The allocation is
made to those CGU or groups of CGU which are expected to benet from the
acquisition. An assessment is made as to whether the carrying amount of the
goodwill can be justied by future earnings from the CGU to which the goodwill
relates. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount
of the CGU, including goodwill, goodwill will be written down rst. Thereafter the
carrying amount of the CGU will be written down. Impairment losses related to
goodwill cannot be reversed.
Impairment of other intangible assets follow the same principles as impairment
for other non-nancial assets, refer to nancial reporting principles for property,
vessels, and other tangible assets above.

Note 8 Right-of-use-assets and lease liabilities
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Identifying a lease
At the inception of a contract, the group assesses whether the contract is, or
contains a lease. A contract is, or contains a lease if the contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identied asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration. To determine whether a contract conveys the right to control the use
of an identied asset, the group assesses whether:
• The agreement creates enforceable rights of payment and obligations
• The identied asset is physically distinct
• It has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benets from use of
the asset
• It has the right to direct the use of the asset
• The supplier does not have a substantive right to substitute the asset throughout
the period of use
For contracts that constitutes, or contains a lease, the group separates lease
components if it benets from the use of each underlying asset either on its own or
together with other resources readily available, and the underlying asset is neither
highly dependent on, nor highly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the
contract. The group then accounts for each lease component as a lease separately
from non-lease components within the contract. The group allocates the
consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative
stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price
of the non-lease components. If an observable stand-alone price is not readily
available, the group estimates this price by the use of observable information.
Recognition of leases and exemptions
At the lease commencement date, the group recognizes a lease liability and
corresponding right-of-use asset for all lease agreements in which it is the lessee,
except for the following exemptions applied:
• Short-term leases (dened as 12 months or less)
• Low value assets
For these leases, the group recognizes the lease payments as other operating
expenses in the statement of prot or loss when they incur.
Measuring the lease liability
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments
for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term not paid at the
commencement date. The lease term represents the noncancellable period of the
lease, plus any period covered by an extension option period if the group expect tp
exercise this option. The lease payments included in the measurement comprise of:
• Fixed lease payments (including in-substance xed payments), less any lease
incentives receivable
• Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured
using the index or rate as at the commencement date
• Amount expected to be payable by the group under residual value guarantees
• The exercise price of a purchase option, if the group is reasonably certain to
exercise that option
• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reects the
group exercising an option to terminate the lease.
The group do not include variable lease payments in the lease liability arising
from contracted index regulations subject to future events. The lease liability is
subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reect interest on
the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reect the lease payments
made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reect any reassessment or lease
modications, or to reect adjustments in lease payments due to an adjustment in
an index or rate.
Sensitivity of the lease liability
If the group cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, it uses its
incremental borrowing rate to measure lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing
rate requires estimation when no observable rates are available. In determining the
lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances. The assessment
is reviewed if a signicant event or a signicant change in circumstances occurs
which aects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.
Measuring the right-of-use asset
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use
asset comprise:
• The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability
• Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease
incentives received and incurred costs
• An estimate of costs to be incurred by the group in dismantling and removing
the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the
underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the
lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.
Subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets follow the same principles as
for other non-nancial assets, refer to nancial reporting principles for property,
vessel and tangible assets note 7, except that the right-of-use asset is depreciated
from the commencement date to the earlier of the lease term and the remaining
useful life.
Impairment
Impairment of right-of-use assets follow the same principles as impairment for
other non-nancial assets, refer to nancial reporting principles for properties,
vessels, and other tangible assets note 7.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCPLES
Income tax in the income statement consists of current tax, eect of changes
in deferred tax/deferred tax assets, and withholding tax incurred in the period.
Income tax is recognised in the income statement unless it relates to items
recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss
for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting
date that will be paid during the next 12 months. Current tax also includes any
adjustment of taxes from previous years and taxes on dividends recognised in the
period.
Deferred tax / deferred tax asset
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on all temporary dierences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
in the consolidated nancial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using
tax rates and laws which have been enacted by the balance sheet date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the
deferred income tax liability settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable prot will be available, and that the temporary dierences can
be deducted from this prot. Deferred income tax is calculated on temporary
dierences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where
the timing of the reversal of the temporary dierence is controlled by the group.
Withholding tax
Withholding tax and any related tax credits are generally recognised in the period
they are incurred.

Note 10 Earnings per shares
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCPLES
Basic/diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing prot for the period after
non-controlling interests, by the average number of total outstanding shares.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the income
attributable to ordinary shareholders and a weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding. Treasury shares are not included in the weighted
average number of ordinary shares. Weighted average number of diluted and
ordinary shares is the same, as the company currently does not have any dilutive
instruments.
Note 11 Pension
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCPLES
Dened contribution plan
A dened contribution plan is one under which the group and the parent company
pay xed contributions to a separate legal entity. The group and the parent
company have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if
the fund does not hold sucient assets to pay all employees the benets relating
to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Dened benet plan
A dened benet plan is one which is not a dened contribution plan. This type
of plan typically denes an amount of pension benet an employee will receive
on retirement, normally dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of
service and pay.
The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of dened benet pension
plans is the present value of the dened benet obligation at the end of the
reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The dened benet obligation
is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit
method. The present value of the dened benet obligation is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash outows using interest rates of high-quality
corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benets will
be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related
pension obligation. In a few countries without deep markets in such bonds, the
market rates on government bonds are used.
The pension obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using a
straight-line earnings method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to
equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past-
service costs are recognised immediately in the income statement.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCPLES
Loans and receivables at amortised cost
Loans and receivables are non-derivative nancial assets with xed or
determinable payments, which are not traded in an active market. They are
included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after
the balance sheet date. These are classied as non-current assets. Loans and
receivable are classied as other current assets or other non-current assets in the
balance sheet.
Loans and receivables are recognised initially at their fair value plus transaction
costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the
cash ows from the nancial assets expire or are transferred, and the group has
transferred by and large all risk and return from the nancial asset. Realised gains
and losses are recognised in the income statement in the period they arise.
Accounts payable and other payables
Accounts payable and other payables are recognised at the original invoiced
amount, where the invoiced amount is considered to be approximately equal to the
vale derived if the amortised cost method would have been applied.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Account receivables and other receivables that have xed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market are classied as receivables.
Account receivables and other receivables are recognised at the original invoiced
amount, where the invoiced amount is considered to be approximately equal to the
value derived if the amortised cost method would have been applied.
The group applies the IFRS 9 simplied approach to measuring expected credit
losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and
contract assets, including receivables from lease contracts.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have
been grouped based on shared credit risk charateristics and the days past due.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment proles of sales over a period
of 36 month before the reporting period and the corresponding historical credit
losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted
to reect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors
aecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The group has
identied the GDP and the unemployment rate of the countries in which it sells its
goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the
historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Inventories of purchased goods and work in progress are valued at cost in
accordance with the weighted average cost method. Impairment losses are
recognised if the net realisable value is lower than the cost price. Sales costs
include all remaining sales, administrative and storage costs.
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Current nancial investments consists of nancial assets held for trading. A
nancial asset is classied in this category if acquired principally for the purpose
of prot from short term gains in market value. Current nancial investments
are measured at fair value. Financial assets measured at fair value are initially
measured at cost less transaction costs expensed in the income statement, and
subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the
income statement. Derivatives are also placed in this category unless designated
as hedges. Assets in this category are classied as current.

Loans are recognised at fair value when the proceeds are received, net of
transaction costs. In subsequent periods, loans are stated at amortised cost using
the eective yield method. Any dierence between proceeds (net of transaction
costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the
term of the loan. Loans are classied as current liabilities unless the group or the
parent company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Note 19 Financial risk
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
The group uses derivatives to address nancial risk. Derivatives are included in
current assets or current liabilities, except for maturities greater than 12 months
after the balance sheet date. These are classied as non-current assets or other
non-current liabilities as they form part of the group’s long-term economic hedging
strategy and are not classied as held for trading.
Derivatives are recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered
into and are revalued on a continuous basis at their fair value.
Most derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the
fair value of any derivative instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting
are presented in the income statement as nancial income/expense.
The group designates certain derivatives as hedges of highly probable forecast
transactions (cash ow hedges).
At the date of the hedging transaction, the group documents the relationship
between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the objective of its
risk management and the strategy underlying the various hedge transactions. The
group also documents the extent to which the applied derivatives are eective in
osetting changes in fair value or cash ow associated with the hedge items. Such
assessments are documented both initially and on an ongoing basis.
The fair value of derivatives used for hedging is shown in note 16 to the group
accounts. Changes in the valuation of qualied hedges are recognised directly in
other comprehensive income until the hedged transactions are realised.
The fair value of nancial derivatives traded in active markets is based on quoted
market prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of nancial derivatives not
traded in an active market is determined using valuation methodology, such as
the discounted value of future cash ows. Independent experts verify the value
determination for instruments which are considered material.
The eective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as
cash ow hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income together with
the deferred tax eect. Gain and loss on the ineective portion is recognised in
the income statement. Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income are
recognised as income or expense in the income statement in the period when the
hedged liability or planned transaction will aect the income statement.
Gain and losses arising from the hedging instruments relating to the eective
portions of the net investment hedges are recognised in other comprehensive
income. These translation reserves are reclassied to the income statement upon
loss of control of the hedged net investments, osetting the translation dierences
from these net investments. Any ineective portion is recognised immediately in
the income statement as nancial income/(expenses).
The group has exposure to the following nancial risks from its operations:
• Market risk
– Foreign exchange rate risk
– Interest rate risk
– Equity market risk
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Shares in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies are presented
according to the cost method in the parent company. Group contribution received
is included in dividends from subsidiaries. Group contributions and dividends from
subsidiaries are recognised in the parent company the year for which they are
proposed by the subsidiary to the extent the parent company can control the
decision of the subsidiary through its shareholdings on the balance sheet date.
Shares in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
may exceed the recoverable amount of the investment. An impairment loss is
reversed if the impairment situation is deemed to no longer exist.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
When the parent company purchases its own shares (treasury shares), the
consideration paid, including any attributable transaction costs net of income tax,
is deducted from the equity attributable to the parent company’s shareholders
until the shares are liquidated or sold. Should such shares subsequently be sold or
reissued, any consideration received is included in share capital.
Proposed dividend for the parent company’s shareholders is shown in the parent
company account as a liability at 31 December current year. Group contribution to
the parent company is recognised as a nancial income and current asset in the
nancial statement at 31 December current year.

To the General Meeting of Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA
Independent Auditor’s Report
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA, which comprise:
• The financial statements of the parent company Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA (the
Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, the income statement,
comprehensive income and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and
• The consolidated financial statements of Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA and its subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, the income statement,
comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement
for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies.
In our opinion:
• the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at
31 December 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with simplified application of international accounting standards according to
section 3-9 of the Norwegian Accounting Act, and
• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31
December 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Audit Committee.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the
Group as required by laws and regulations and the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International
Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
Auditor’s report
Parent — Accounts and notes Wilh.WilhelmsenHoldingASAAnnualReport2021 — Page 93
Independent Auditor's Report - Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA
(2)
accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit
Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.
We have been the auditor of the Company for 12 years from the election by the general meeting of the
shareholders on 25 February 2010 for the accounting year 2010.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The Groups business operations, who continue to
evolve due to ongoing improvement projects, are largely the same as last year. We have not identified
regulatory changes, transactions or other events that qualified as new Key Audit Matters for this year’s
audit.
Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Revenue from contracts with customers
This has been an area of focus for the
audit due to the amounts involved.
Revenue from contracts with customers
in the Maritime Services and New Energy
segments was USD 555 million and USD
310 million respectively for the year
ended December 31, 2021.
Further, there is an inherent risk of errors
when a business handles multiple
revenue streams, where each of them
consists of large numbers of transactions
that adds up to material amounts. The
inherent risk of errors increases from the
complexity that sometimes accompany
the requirements for management to use
judgement, particularly to determine the
transaction price and to decide when
performance obligations are satisfied.
We refer to note 3 Revenue, where
management explain the various revenue
streams and how they are accounted for
under IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts
with customers and IFRS 16 - Leases.
Here, management also explains the
different performance obligations,
measurement of the transaction price and
We obtained and studied managements’ accounting
policy to assess it against relevant IFRSs. We discussed
with management how the specific requirements of the
standards, in particular IFRS 15 – Revenue from
contracts with customers, were met. We found that we
were able to agree with management about their
accounting policies and that their assessments were
reasonable.
To assess the accuracy of their practices, we tested, on a
sample basis, each revenue stream towards information
such as contract terms, invoices and bank payments.
We found that the revenue was recorded accurate and
in accordance with the underlying documentation.
Further, to assess the determined transaction prices,
we obtained an understanding of the price for services
and products, including discounts and customer bonus
through interviews with management, walkthroughs
and review of process descriptions. In addition, we
obtained and read a selection of customer contracts to
understand whether the determined prices were in
accordance with the contract terms. We found no
significant deviations in management's assessments.
Through interviews with management and review of a
selection of sales documentation such as customer
contracts and invoices, we obtained an understanding
Auditor’s report
Parent — Accounts and notes Wilh.WilhelmsenHoldingASAAnnualReport2021 — Page 94
Independent Auditor's Report - Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA
(3)
whether income should be recognized net
or gross.
of the assumptions management assessed to decide on
when the performance obligations were satisfied. We
concluded that management’s assumptions were
reasonable.
We compared the related disclosures in note 3 to the
financial statements for the Group to the requirements
of the applicable financial reporting framework, IFRS.
We found that the disclosure appropriately explained
the revenue from contracts with customers and lease
revenue.
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information
in the Board of Directors’ report and the other information accompanying the financial statements.
The other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover
the information in the Board of Directors’ report nor the other information accompanying the financial
statements.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of
Directors’ report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The purpose is to
consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of Directors’ report and the other
information accompanying the financial statements and the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors’ report and the other information
accompanying the financial statements otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required
to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors’ report or the other information
accompanying the financial statements. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors’ report
• is consistent with the financial statements and
• contains the information required by applicable legal requirements.
Our opinion on the Board of Director’s report applies correspondingly to the statements on Corporate
Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with simplified application of international accounting standards according to the
Norwegian Accounting Act section 3-9, and for the preparation and true and fair view of the
consolidated financial statements of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary
to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
Auditor’s report
Parent — Accounts and notes Wilh.WilhelmsenHoldingASAAnnualReport2021 — Page 95
Independent Auditor's Report - Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA
(4)
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. We design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's or the Group's internal control.
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company and the
Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in
the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to
continue as a going concern.
• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
• obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities
or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group
audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
Auditor’s report

Independent Auditor's Report - Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA
(5)
We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a
matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
