Disclaimer
| Forward-Looking Statements ||
The following information contains, or may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements (as defined in the U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such
as "may," "might," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue," the
negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions about the Company, may include projections of the Company's future financial results, its
anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in its business. These statements are only predictions based on the
Company's current expectations and projections about future events or results. There are important factors that could cause
the Company's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of
activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause
such differences include, but are not limited to: market changes in freight, bunker, charter and other rates or prices, supply-
demand fluctuations in the containerized shipping market, new legislation or regulation affecting the Company's operations,
new competition and changes in the competitive environment, our ability to achieve cost savings or expense reductions, the
outcome of legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, global, regional and/or local political instability, including the
ongoing war between Israel and Hamas and the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, inflation rate fluctuations,
capital markets fluctuations and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the caption "Risk Factors" in its 2023 Annual Report filed with
the SEC on March 13, 2024.
Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are
reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company
nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements.
The Company assumes no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform its prior
statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as otherwise required by law.
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
| Use of non-IFRS financial measures |
The Company presents non-IFRS measures as additional performance measures as the Company believes that it enables
the comparison of operating performance between periods on a consistent basis. These measures should not be
considered in isolation, or as a substitute for operating income, any other performance measures, or cash flow data, which
were prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as measures of profitability or liquidity. Please
note that Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account debt service requirements, or other commitments, including capital
expenditures, and therefore, does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available for the Company's use. In
addition, Non-IFRS financial measures, as those presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other companies, due to differences in the way these measures are calculated.
| Adjusted EBITDA ||
Net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization in order to reach EBITDA, and further adjusted
to exclude impairment of assets, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains
(losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal
contingencies.
| Adjusted EBIT |
Net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net and
income taxes, in order to reach our results from operating activities, or EBIT, and
further adjusted to exclude impairment of assets, non-cash charter hire expenses,
capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses
related to legal contingencies.
| Free cash flow |
Net cash generated from operating activities minus capital expenditures, net.
| Total cash position ||
Includes cash and cash equivalents and investments in bank deposits and other
investment instruments.
| Net debt |
Face value of short- and long-term debt, minus cash and cash equivalents, bank
deposits and other investment instruments. Net cash: cash and cash equivalents,
bank deposits and other investment instruments exceeding the face value of short-
and long-term debt.
| Net leverage ratio ||
Net debt (defined above) divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve-month
period.
