Maersk Results Presentation Deck
A.P. Moller Maersk Group
- Interim Report 02 2015
Cash flow from operating activities was USD 1.8bn (USD 1.6bn)
and cash flow used for capital expenditure was USD 1.1bn (USD
856m) leaving a free cash flow of USD 781m (USD 727m).
Maersk Oil made a profit of USD 345m (loss of USD 1.1bn after
impairment on Brazilian assets). The underlying profit was
USD 424m (USD 661m) negatively impacted by 47% lower aver-
age oil prices but positively impacted by a higher average entitle-
ment production of 305,000 boepd (245,000 boepd), deferred tax
income of USD 170m due to reduction of the UK tax rate, lower
costs due to the cost transformation programme and lower
exploration costs.
The increased entitlement production was a result of a higher
production share in Qatar where the decreased oil price gives
more barrels for cost recovery as well as strong operational
performance in particular in the UK and production from the
new fields Golden Eagle in the UK and Jack in the US.
Maersk Oil completed six (six) exploration/appraisal wells; in-
cluding the East Swara Tika well in Iraq, Kurdistan, the Drum-
tochty well in the UK, and the Xana well in Denmark. These
three wells discovered hydrocarbons and commercial viability
is being assessed. Three wells were assessed not to be com-
mercially viable.
Cash flow from operating activities was USD 716m, 51% lower
than last year mainly due to the lower oil price. Cash flow used
for capital expenditure was in line with last year at USD 996m
(USD 1.0bn).
APM Terminals made a profit of USD 351m (USD 438m) and
a ROIC of 11.9% (14.1%). The underlying profit was USD 334m
(USD 427m). Volumes decreased by 4.7% compared to 2014,
reaching 18.3m TEU (19.2m TEU). The decrease was due to
divestments of APM Terminals Virginia, Portsmouth, USA
Contents
and Terminal Porte Océane S.A. Le Havre, France during 03
2014. Excluding these, like-for-like volumes decreased by 1.9%,
whereas the overall global container market grew by 4.2%
(Drewry). The main reason for lower volume stems from key
oil dependent markets, where the impact of low oil prices dete-
riorated local economic conditions.
Cash flow from operating activities was USD 447m (USD 497m)
and cash flow used for capital expenditure was USD 391m (USD
335m).
Maersk Drilling made a profit of USD 386m (USD 233m) pos-
itively impacted by fleet growth but offset by three rigs being
idle. ROIC was 9.6% (7.6%). The underlying profit was USD
384m (USD 226m).
Maersk Drilling has taken delivery of one ultra harsh environ-
ment jack-up rig, Maersk Integrator and one ultra deepwater
drillship Maersk Voyager during the first half year. Since the
launch of Maersk Drilling's cost reduction and efficiency en-
hancement programme in 04 2014, Maersk Drilling has deliv-
ered a 5% savings on the operating cost level, excluding positive
rate of exchange effects, for the first six months of 2015 com-
pared to the same period last year.
Cash flow from operating activities was USD 528m (USD 252m)
and cash flow used for capital expenditure was USD 731m (USD
1.3bn) mainly due to fewer instalments paid for the newbuild
projects.
APM Shipping Services made a profit of USD 232m (USD 105m)
and a ROIC of 9.9% (3.7%). The improvement came predominantly
from result improvement efforts in Maersk Supply Service with
a profit of USD 102m (USD 57m), Maersk Tankers with a profit
of USD 71m (USD 26m) and Damco improving from a loss of USD
42m in 2014 to a loss of USD 2m.
The sale of Danske Bank shares was finalised in 01 with 85%
ordered by A.P. Møller Holding A/S and 7% by other share-
holders, at an offer price of DKK 177.27 per Danske Bank share.
The Group's retained 1.6% ownership in Danske Bank is classi-
fied as held for trading.
The ordinary dividend of DKK 300 as well as the extraordinary
cash dividend equal to DKK 1,671 per A.P. Møller-Mærsk A/S
share of nominally DKK 1,000 (in total equal to USD 6.2bn) de-
clared at the Annual General Meeting 30 March 2015 was paid
on 7 April 2015.
As part of the share buy-back programme 86,500 A-shares and
346,118 B-shares were cancelled in 02 in accordance with the
decision at the Annual General Meeting on 30 March 2015.
Other businesses made a profit of USD 245m (USD 283m).
2015 includes primarily the gain from the sale of shares in
Danske Bank A/S of USD 223m, while 2014 primarily included
the Group's share of profit in Danske Bank of USD 249m as
well as the gain from the sale of Danbor of USD 23m.
Unallocated activities comprise revenue and cost, etc. which
is not attributed to reportable segments, including purchase of
bunker and lubricating oil on behalf of companies in the Group
as well as financial items. The financial items were negative
by USD 151m (USD 339m); the decrease in the net financial ex-
penses was primarily driven by lower interest expenses due
to lower debt and interest rates as well as value adjustment on
Danske Bank shares and currency adjustments.
