Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other things, the risk factors set out in this Investor presentation before making an investment decision. A prospective investor should carefully consider all the risks related to the Group and should consult his or her own expert advisors as to the suitability of an investment in securities of the Company. An investment in securities of the Company entails significant risks and is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of the investment. Against this background, an investor should thus make a careful assessment of the Group and its prospects before deciding to invest, including but not limited to the cost structure for both the Group and the investors, as well as the investors' current and future tax position. The risk factors for the Company and the Group are deemed to be equivalent for the purpose of this Investor Presentation unless otherwise stated. The risks and uncertainties described below are not intended to be exhaustive, and are not the only ones faced by the Group. Additional risks and uncertainties, including risks that the Group currently believes are less material or likely, or that are not presently known to the Group, may also have a material adverse effect on the value of any investment. If any of the risks presented below were to materialize, individually or together with other circumstances, the business, financial condition, operating results and/or cash flows of the Company and the Group could be materially and adversely affected, the Company could be unable to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the Bonds, and the price of the Bonds may decline, causing investors to lose all or part of their invested capital. Geopolitics and macroeconomy The Group is exposed to Geopolitical turmoil and political instability Geopolitical turmoil leading to changes in the volume of traded goods and passengers, may cause major fluctuations in the Group's revenue and earnings. Particularly, the war in Ukraine and political instability in certain areas could impact the development of the European economy and result in shortages of certain goods. Shortage of important metals, oil, gas, and other raw materials causes supply challenges, bottlenecks, and price increases etc. This could lead to decreased activity, investment, and increased unemployment, all which in turn would impact transported volume and could significantly affect the performance of the Group. The Group is exposed to economic downturns or recession The Group is exposed directly or indirectly to downturns in the macro-economic environment. The development in the European economy could be leading to changes in the volume of goods traded and passengers, which in turn may cause significant fluctuations in the Group's revenue and earnings. Additional shocks to the European economy and/or lower GDP growth across Europe, causing decreased activity levels, lower investments, and increased unemployment could all negatively impact the demand for transportation. The Group is exposed to pandemics etc. The Covid-19 outbreak has throughout 2020 and 2021 illustrated how a pandemic can affect nations, individuals, and companies. A resurgence of Covid-19 or a new pandemic could expose the Group to operational and financial risks. The Group is exposed to government decisions regarding lockdowns, travel restrictions and other pandemic-related restrictions. A pandemic could potentially also impact the health of the Group's organisation when it comes to retention and motivation of employees. 38 > DFDS#39Risk Factors IT & Technology The Group is exposed to systems breakdowns, cyber-attacks and security breaches IT systems and platforms are an essential part of daily operations, increasing the Group's dependency on a stable and secure IT environment. Consequently, disruptions to the most critical systems can have significant negative impacts on commercial operations and earnings. Egress of data e.g., loss of data, cyber incidents causing shut down of critical systems, or information security (risk related to handling of data for passengers and freight customers) poses a risk to the Group and should be avoided. Failure to do so would not only severely affect daily operations but could also impose significant fines and loss of reputation. The Group is exposed to competitive risks relating to digital disruptions It is a strategic priority for the Group to be at the forefront of digitalisation, as new digital business models and platforms are emerging within the transport and logistic industry. Such platforms primarily seek to digitise the intermediary role between manufacturers and end users that today is managed by freight forwarders and transport service providers. The Group's current business model could be disrupted by new, evolving technologies for autonomous vehicles, -vessels and - terminals. Failure to adapt to the technology-driven industry development could lead to long-term loss of customers and earnings. Environmental The Group's shipping and logistics operations may involve an environmental risk Challenges related to climate changes are eminent and attention to emissions is increasing year by year. Along with increasing focus comes growing expectations. As the Group is operating within the transportation industry, the Group is subject to expectations from many stakeholders including its customers and regulatory institutions. Failure to live up to climate requirements could impact both the Group's licenses to operate in certain markets and its reputation, and thereby the financial performance in the form of lost business or fines from regulating institutions. Further, potential regulation from the European Union and the International Maritime Organisation (the "IMO") could require increased CO2 efficiency and potential significant tax on CO2. The Group's shipping and logistics operations may involve a risk of environmental pollution The Group incurs, and also expects to incur in the future, costs and resources to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Environmental and safety measures are based on the Group's environmental and safety policies, as well as rules and regulations and customer requirements. Changes in these factors can increase costs for the Group. The Group is exposed to seasonality and weather-related risks The Group is exposed to large seasonal variations in the number of passengers and earnings. Also, adverse weather conditions, especially during the fall and winter, may cause delays or cancellations of the Group's services. Seasonality and service disruptions caused weather conditions or otherwise may have a negative impact on the operations and earnings of the Group. 39 > DFDS#40Risk Factors Market risk The Group is exposed to competing forms of transportation The freight- and passenger-shipping markets are impacted by industry-specific market conditions, including changes in market conditions faced by competing forms of transport such as road, rail and air - the latter of which mainly impacts the passenger sector. Although air transport can only partly be considered a directly competing product to the Group, price has a crucial influence on the customers' perception of a travel product relative to the price they are willing to pay for the transport component of such product. In addition, markets are impacted by changes in local and regional competition, such as the opening or closing of competing routes and capacity increases on existing routes. If competition from direct and substitute providers in the markets in which the Group operates intensifies in the future and cannot be compensated for by new or already implemented improvement measures, it may significantly affect the performance of the Group. The Group is exposed to risks from chartering of vessels The Group mainly charters freight ships for varying periods. Such charters are subject to price risks (charter rates) and risks concerning availability of ships that fit operational requirements. Similar risks, including counterparty risks, are relevant when chartering out excess ships. In addition, there is a price risk related to acquiring or ordering ships at cycle peaks. In connection with the ordering of ships, there is a default risk related to the shipyard, which can lead to additional costs, including delayed delivery. Although the Group endeavours at any time to charter in or out vessels on profitable terms, subsequent market developments may cause charter contracts to become unprofitable in the long term which in turn may affect the future performance of the Group. Due to the ongoing process of replacing and renewing the Group's fleet, the sale of ships or the cancellation of contracts may result in gains, losses and costs that are not included in annual profit forecasts. The Group is dependent on access to suitable port facilities to carry out its business The Group is dependent on access to suitable and to some degree customized ports and port facilities for an efficient operation. The Group may also be exposed to increases in costs and charges imposed in the various ports. Any significant increase in these costs and charges could adversely affect the Group's business and financial performance. The Group is exposed to overall freight volumes Risks of major fluctuations in earnings caused by market changes and changes in economic growth are highest for the Group's shipping activities and lowest for the transport and logistics activities. The difference in risk profile is due to a high share of fixed costs in ferry shipping as opposed to a high share of variable costs in transport and logistics as the majority of transport services is subcontracted to external carriers. If demand in the freight market decreases, the capacity utilisation of the ferries may be reduced and the cost per unit of freight may increase. In such a case, if the Group fails to adapt its tonnage sufficiently to the market conditions, it may have a material adverse effect on earnings. The Group is exposed to changes in freight patterns Much of the Group's activities are based on freight transported through the Group's route network. Having a balanced freight pattern is an important prerequisite for profitability in the route network, as this enables acceptable utilization of the capacity deployed. Changes to the freight pattern may put downward pressure on the profitability of one or more routes, which may affect the future performance of the Group. The Group relies on long-term contracts with industrial customers in certain areas On a few routes, a significant proportion of freight volumes are derived from a few industrial customers. Risks inherent in such relationships are mitigated by multiple-year customer contracts that also reflect investment requirements to service such contracts. In the event that the proportion of long-term contracts cannot be maintained, it could result in increased earnings fluctuations and uncertainty. 40 40 > DFDS#41Risk Factors Compliance & legal risk The Group is exposed to reputational damage, claims and fines As a Group with broad European reach, the Group is subject to national and international regulatory requirements. This is in particular applies to regulations relating to tax, customs, VAT, privacy and competition law, which all continue to increase in scope and complexity, potentially having a material impact on the cost of doing business. The Group's revenue derives partly from on board duty free-sales which are subject to specific regulations which may be subject to change on short notice. Non-compliance could result in fines, license to operate in certain markets, and furthermore carry a long-term impact on the Group's reputation, which may negatively impact relationships with its customers and partners and the public image of the Group. The Group is exposed to Political decisions and legislative changes The Groups activities are impacted by changes in rules and regulations governing the shipping and transport sector, as well as changes in the overall conditions concerning Europe's infrastructure. In addition to political bodies, the Group is subject to International Maritime Organization (IMO) conventions. The IMO is the UN body responsible for maritime issues, primarily safety and environment. Changes in the above rules and regulations can have negative financial consequences, including higher costs and changes in the travel patterns of passengers and routing of freight, including the distribution between sea and land transport. The Group is subject to anti-trust risk The Group operates in markets which are subject to close scrutiny by the competition authorities with jurisdiction in the states in which the Group operates, including the European Commission and the EFTA Surveillance Authority. Any finding of breach of competition laws in such inquiries may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position, results of operations and available cash, because of potential fines, the costs associated with asserting the Group's legal interests related to such inquiries, possible litigation by third-parties claiming compensation for any alleged harm and reputational damage. Employees The Group is exposed to the risk of not retaining or attracting talented and diverse employees Talented and engaged people are key to the continued success of the Group. Focus on talent attraction, retention and diversity is essential to maintain both performance and development of the Group. A good work environment, strong leadership, attention to employee development and opportunities and high focus on diversity set the base for attracting and retaining people and talents. Loss of experienced key employees or lack of attracting new talents can potentially have long-term negative consequences for the operational, strategic and financial development off the Group. Wages are a major component of the Group's cost base. Any significant growth in wage costs may have a material adverse effect in the financial position and performance of the Group. 41 > DFDS#42Risk Factors Operational and security risks The Group is exposed to safety and security risk The security and safety of passengers, crew, drivers, tonnage, trucks and cargo take the highest priority, and are integral to the Group's general policies, strategies and targets. The Group develops its security management system on an ongoing basis. The system consists of documented processes that maintain a constant focus on all aspects of security onboard, for trucks and in port terminals, including verification of compliance with current legislation as well as the Group's internal specifications. Nevertheless, security and safety failures may occur which can cause unplanned periods in dock, interruption of schedules, and losses to the Group, including but not limited to claims for damages in contract and/or in tort. The Group is exposed to the risk of loss of its vessels or other accidents Material damage to vessels, terminals and warehouses may occur due to accidents, design defects, human error, inadequate maintenance, terrorist attacks, and meteorological or other outside conditions. These risks are controlled and mitigated partly through compliance with safety requirements and routines, as well as preventive work, and partly through insurance against risk. The Group only takes out insurance to a limited extent when it comes to the risk of business interruption, be that increased costs of work or loss of income. Financial risk The Group is exposed to fluctuations in bunker prices The freight industry is highly exposed to fluctuations in the bunker price and in many cases contracts are entered with the customers in which the customers agree to pay part of the cost of bunkers. The Group is exposed to the risk that the increase in bunker cost cannot be passed on to the customers, which would result in higher costs to the Group. Increased bunker costs may have a material adverse effect on the future performance of the Group, the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of the Group. The Group is exposed to changes in interest rate levels & currency risks The Group is exposed to changes in the interest rates through the Group's loan portfolio. Interest rate movements unfavorable to the Group may increase the Group's interest expense, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's future performance and financial position. The Group operates in different countries across Europe. Currency risk arises when there are differences between income received and expenses paid in different currencies, particularly EUR, GBP, TRY, SEK, NOK and DKK and in relation to investments/purchase of non-current assets and repayment of loans in foreign currency. As a result of the Group's international operations, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates which could adversely affect the Group's business. Business development The Group is exposed to risks associated with business development and investments The Group's growth strategy entails business development and investment risks. This is related to both organic growth from investment in ferries and growth driven by the opening of new ferry routes, new logistics activities, acquisition of companies and activities. The most pervasive risk associated with organic growth is related to the expansion of capacity on a route by deployment of larger ferries. The acquisition of companies and activities involves significant risks that are linked to the size of the investment and the complexity of a subsequent integration process. 2 42 X DFDS#43Risk Factors Risks related to the bonds All investments in interest bearing securities have associated risks. The risks are related to the general volatility in the market for such securities, varying liquidity in a single bond issue as well as Issuer specific risk factors. An investment in interest bearing securities is only suitable for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investments and who can afford a loss of all or part of the investment. Risks related to the market value of the bonds There is a risk that the value of the Bonds may decrease due to changes in relevant market risk factors. The price of a single bond issue will, generally, fluctuate due to general development in financial markets, as well as investor interest in the bonds, and developments in the markets in which the Group operates. Accordingly, there is a risk that the value of the Bonds may decrease despite an underlying positive development in the Group's business activities. Risks related to the Issuer's requirement to meet financial obligations There is a risk that the value of the Bonds may decrease due to changes in relevant market risk factors. The price of a single bond issue will, generally, fluctuate due to general development in financial markets, as well as investor interest in the bonds, and developments in the markets in which the Group operates. Accordingly, there is a risk that the value of the Bonds may decrease despite an underlying positive development in the Group's business activities. Risks related to the bonds being unsecured The bonds are unsecured. Consequently, right to receive payment on the Bonds in a default and enforcement scenario will be subject to all secured creditors first receiving due payments. Under insolvency proceedings, the Bondholders will not receive any payment unless there are remaining funds after the secured creditors of the Group have received payment in full. Insolvency proceedings could involve that the Bondholders only receive payments in part or not at all. The Group is dependent upon cash flow from its subsidiaries to meet its obligations, in general and under the Bonds The Group currently conducts a significant portion of its operations through, and a significant portion/most of its assets are owned by, its subsidiaries. As such, the cash that the Company obtains from its subsidiaries is an important source of funds necessary to meet its obligations. Contractual provisions or laws, including laws or regulations related to the repatriation of foreign earnings, corporate benefit and financial assistance, as well as its subsidiaries' financial condition, operating requirements, restrictive covenants in their debt arrangements and debt requirements, may limit the Company's ability to obtain cash from its subsidiaries that they require to pay their expenses or meet their current or future debt service obligations. The inability of the Company's subsidiaries to transfer cash to the Company may mean that, even though the Company may have sufficient resources on a consolidated basis to meet its obligations under its debt agreements, it may not be able to meet such obligations. A payment default by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, on any debt instrument may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operation and financial condition. The Bonds will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries None of the Company's subsidiaries will guarantee or have any obligations to pay amounts due under the Bonds or to make funds available for that purpose. Generally, claims of creditors of a subsidiary, certain hedge providers and trade creditors of the subsidiary, will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of the subsidiary over the claims of creditors of its parent entity, including by holders of the Bonds. In the event of any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, administration or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of any of its subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to its parent entity. The Company's creditors (including the bondholders) will have no right to proceed against the assets of such subsidiary. As such, the Bonds will be structurally subordinated to the creditors (including trade creditors) of the Company's subsidiaries. 24 43 > DFDS#44Risk Factors Risks related to the bonds (continued) The Company may not be able to finance a put option redemption The Bond Terms will require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the Bonds at 100% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest if the Company experiences certain change of control event (a bondholder put option). The Company's failure to effect a put option when required would constitute an event of default under the Bond Terms. In addition, the Company's ability to repurchase the Company's as may be required by the Bond Terms will depend on the Group's access to funds at such time. It cannot be assured that there will be sufficient funds available to make these repayments and repurchases of tendered Bonds. An active trading market may not develop for the Bonds, in which case bondholders may not be able to resell the Bonds There is no existing trading market for the Bonds and the Company cannot assure that an active or liquid trading market will develop for the Bonds. No market-making agreement has been made for the Bonds. Future liquidity will depend, among other things, on the number of bondholders, the Group's financial performance, the market for similar securities and the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the Bonds. In addition, changes in the overall market for debt securities and changes in the Group's financial performance or in the markets where it operates may adversely affect the liquidity of the trading market in the Bonds and the market price quoted for the Bonds. As a result, the Company cannot assure that an active trading market will actually develop for the Bonds. The market for the Bonds may further be subject to disruptions that can cause substantial volatility in their prices. Any disruptions may have an adverse effect on the holders of the Bonds. The Company's credit rating and the Bonds expected credit rating, may not reflect all risks, is not a recommendation to buy or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time One or more independent credit rating agencies may assign credit ratings to the Bonds. The ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to the structure, market, additional risk factors discussed herein and other factors that may affect the value of the Bonds. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal by the rating agency at any time. No assurance can be given that a credit rating will remain constant for any given period of time or that a credit rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the credit rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances in the future so warrant. A suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time of the credit rating assigned to the Bonds by one or more of the credit rating agencies may adversely affect the Group's access to capital, the cost and terms and conditions of its financings and the value and trading of the Bonds, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations. Risks related to amendments of the Bond Terms and remedies afforded to the bondholders The Bond Terms will contain provisions for calling meetings of bondholders to consider matters affecting their interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all bondholders, including bondholders who did not attend nor vote at the relevant meeting and bondholders who voted in a manner contrary to the majority. The bond trustee may agree, without the consent of the bondholders, to certain modifications to the Bond Terms and other bond finance documents. Pursuant to the Bond Terms, remedies afforded to the bondholders are vested with the bond trustee, thus preventing individual bondholders from taking separate action. The Bond Trustee will be required to act in accordance with instruction given by a relevant majority of bondholders, but is also vested with discretionary powers. Further, remedies available to the bond trustee may be limited by laws relating to liquidation, administration, reconstruction, insolvency or other laws or procedures generally affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights, as well as any provisions generally applicable under applicable law. Risks related to the interest on the Bonds The bonds can be subject to a floating interest rate. The coupon payments, which depend on the NIBOR interest rate and the applicable margin, will vary in accordance with variability of the NIBOR interest rate. The interest rate risks related to part of the Bond issues will be limited since the coupon rate, where applicable, will be adjusted quarterly according to the change in reference interest rate (NIBOR 3 months). The primary risk for a floating bond issue will be related to the market view of the correct trading level for the credit spread related to a bond issue at a certain time during the tenor, compared with the credit margin which that bond is carrying. A possible increase in the credit spread trading level relative to the coupon defined credit margin may relate to general changes in the market conditions and/or Group specific circumstances. However, under normal circumstances the anticipated tradable credit spread will fall as the duration of a bond issue becomes shorter. In general, the price of bonds will fall when the credit spreads in the market increase, and conversely the bond price will increase when market spreads decrease. Reference rate benchmarks such as NIBOR may be discontinued over time. In case NIBOR is discontinued while the bonds remain outstanding, the bond trustee for the Bonds will adjust the interest rate in respect of the bonds for the remaining term of the bonds. The bonds may accordingly pay an interest rate after any such discontinuation and adjustment which may be higher or lower than in case such discontinuation and adjustment had not happened. An investment in bonds which pay a fixed rate of interest involves the risk that if the market interest rates subsequently increase above the fixed rate paid on such bonds, this will adversely affect the value of such bonds. 44 > DFDS#45Agenda DFDS DOVER 01 | Introduction 02 | Sustainability 03 | DFDS markets 04 | Financials 06 | Key terms and conditions 07 | Risk factors 08 | Appendix 45 > DFDS#46Income Statement 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 DKKm Revenue Costs Full-year Full-year Full-year Full-year 15,762 16,798 14,130 18,279 Full-year 26,873 Ferry and other ship operation and maintenance Freight handling -3,583 -3,667 -2,569 -3,880 -6,426 -2,447 -2,521 -2,383 -2,598 -3,090 Transport solutions -3,236 -3,201 -3,244 -4,303 -6,657 Employee costs -2,796 -3,077 -2,862 -3,444 -4,730 Costs of sales and administration -712 -699 -520 -643 -1,015 Operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) and special items 2,988 3,633 2,732 3,411 4,955 Share of profit/loss of associates and joint ventures 1 6 -5 -13 -14 Profit/loss on disposal of non-current assets, net 7 6 5 2 21 Depreciation, ferries and other ships -790 -1,225 -1,153 -1,322 -1,447 Depreciation, other non-current assets -296 -662 -721 -766 -1,058 Impairment losses, other non-current assets Operating profit (EBIT) before special items Special items, net Operating profit (EBIT) Financial income Financial costs Profit before tax Tax on profit Profit for the period Attributable to: Equity holders of DFDS A/S Non-controlling interests Profit for the period Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (EPS) of DKK 20, DKK Diluted earnings per share (EPS-D) of DKK 20, DKK -1 -7 -0 -0 -1 1,909 1,751 858 1,313 2,457 -49 -101 -117 34 25 1,859 1,650 741 1,348 2,482 6 6 5 29 66 -171 -284 -280 -307 -409 1,694 1,371 466 1,069 2,139 -57 -59 -24 -94 -120 1,637 1,313 442 976 2,019 1,630 1,309 433 958 2,010 8 4 9 18 10 1,637 1,313 442 976 2,019 28.99 22.88 7.56 16.69 35.09 28.87 22.80 7.56 16.67 35.04 46 45 > DFDS#47Balance Sheet | Assets DKKM Goodwill Other non-current intangible assets Software Development projects in progress Non-current intangible assets Land and buildings Terminals Ferries and other ships Equipment etc. 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Full-year Full-year Full-year Full-year Full-year 3,337 3,440 3,434 4,280 4,407 1,205 1,227 1,174 1,659 1,701 245 241 239 298 324 2 25 55 14 4788 4,934 4,901 6,252 12 6,444 163 201 183 427 559 1434 741 720 718 836 9731 10,950 11,220 11,460 13,186 740 742 723 1,289 1,600 Assets under construction and prepayments 1021 1,034 887 1,368 369 Right-of-use assets 3,337 3,133 3,926 4,648 Non-current tangible assets 13,089 17,006 16,867 19,188 21,197 Investments in associates, joint ventures and securities 43 53 49 35 13 Receivables 138 29 17 16 16 Prepaid costs 91 129 337 222 Deffered tax 70 47 57 31 124 49 Pension assets - 25 Derivative financial instruments 175 242 76 36 299 Other non-current assets 517 500 536 366 500 Non-current assets Inventories Trade receivables 18,395 22,440 22,304 25,807 28,141 201 219 169 269 324 2,077 2,409 2,014 2,772 3,343 Receivables from associates and joint ventures 86 46 28 26 23 Other receivables 296 422 589 624 649 Prepaid costs 259 336 309 299 368 Derivative financial instruments Cash Total current assets Assets classified as held for sale Total current assets Assets 57 75 149 22 48 761 840 1,261 902 1,189 3736 4,347 4,520 4,914 5,943 76 182 3736 4,423 4,702 4,914 5,943 22,132 26,863 27,006 30,721 34,084 47 > DFDS#48Balance Sheet | Equity & Liabilities DKKm Share capital Reserves Retained earnings Equity attributable to equity holders of DFDS A/S Non-controlling interests Equity Interest-bearing liabilities Lease liabilities Deferred tax Pension and jubilee liabilities Other provisions Derivative financial intruments Non-current liabilities 2018 Full-year 2019 2020 2021 2022 Full-year Full-year Full-year Full-year 1,173 1,173 1,173 1,173 1,173 -251 -120 -273 -396 -284 8,253 9,223 9,611 10,669 12,133 9,175 10,276 10,511 11,446 13,022 80 80 89 108 114 9,255 10,356 10,600 11,554 13,135 8,132 9,186 9,313 8,707 8,481 257 2,556 2,407 3,118 3,916 211 213 217 366 359 263 160 197 79 88 17 47 46 117 44 74 69 149 6 8 8,954 12,231 12,329 12,390 12,896 Interest-bearing liabilities 833 480 415 1,791 2,349 Lease liabilities 35 552 519 721 788 Trade payables 2,296 2,292 2,090 3,119 3,661 Payables to associates and joint venture 24 109 51 51 12 Other provisions 50 38 78 56 52 Correction tax 23 30 61 113 170 Other payables 470 581 674 679 756 Derivative financial instruments 20 19 52 77 40 Prepayments 171 172 136 171 223 Current liabilities Liabilities Equity and liabilities 3,923 4,275 4,077 6,778 8,053 12,877 16,506 16,406 19,167 20,949 22,132 26,863 27,006 30,721 34,084 48 > DFDS
