MAERSK GROUP
PERFORMANCE
For Q3 2015
Contents
The Maersk Group- and especially Maersk Line - was severely
impacted by continued low economic growth and significant
market imbalances. Global container demand is expected to
have grown by 0-1%, whereas the global container fleet grew by
almost 9%. Container freight rates declined significantly across
all trades except North America, and especially Maersk Line's
key Europe trades were impacted severely.
The Group delivered a profit of USD 778m (USD 1.5bn) nega-
tively impacted by the lower oil price and lower average con-
tainer freight rates, down 51% and 19% respectively compared to
the same period last year. The return on invested capital (ROIC)
was 7.6% (12.7%).
The underlying profit was USD 662m (USD 1.3bn) with lower
profits in Maersk Line, Maersk Oil and APM Terminals and im-
proved result for Maersk Drilling while APM Shipping Services
was on par with Q3 last year.

The Group's revenue decreased by USD 2.1bn or 17% compared
to 03 2014, predominantly due to lower oil price and lower
average container freight rates. The operating expenses de-
creased by USD 1.1bn mainly due to lower bunker prices and
cost saving initiatives.
Cash flow from operating activities remained at a high level
of USD 2.2bn (USD 2.7bn) while the Group continues to invest
in growth with a net cash flow used for capital expenditure
of USD 1.3bn (USD 1.4bn). The Group's free cash flow was USD
904m (USD 1.4bn).
With an equity ratio of 59.7% (61.3% at 31 December 2014) and a
liquidity reserve of USD 10.7bn (USD 11.6bn at 31 December 2014)
the Group maintains its strong financial position.
