Wallenius Wilhelmsen closes another solid year with an adjusted EBITDA of USD
1.8bn and net profit of USD 1.1bn. "I am very proud of how our team delivered in
2025, securing a strong financial result with a total dividend of USD 2.11 per
share, significantly extending our book of business, and ensuring safe and
resilient operations," says Lasse Kristoffersen, President and CEO of Wallenius
Wilhelmsen.  

Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 totaled USD 1,811m, down from USD 1,901m in 2024. Net
profit for 2025 was USD 1,104m, up from USD 1,065m in 2024.  

Wallenius Wilhelmsen closes Q4 with an adjusted EBITDA of USD 400m, softer than
the previous quarter. This is due to trade mix and extraordinary one-off costs. 

"The underlying momentum remains strong with high demand out of Asia. Hence, we
maintain our financial outlook for 2026," says Lasse Kristoffersen, President
and CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen. 

For the second half of 2025, Wallenius Wilhelmsen will pay a dividend of USD
1.01 per share. This results in a total dividend payout for 2025 of USD 2.11,
well above the target range of 30-50% of net profit as it included extraordinary
payments for both 1H and 2H. 

Future-proofing the company 

"We have used the last years to build the company stronger and better
financially, commercially and operationally. This includes a significant
expansion of our book of business, enhancing our fleet by replacing older
tonnage, and strengthening customer partnerships through expanded service scope
and longer contract durations. Wallenius Wilhelmsen is very well positioned for
the years to come," says Kristoffersen.

* Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 ended at USD 1,811m (down 4.7% YoY)
* Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2025 ended at USD 400m (down 16% QoQ)
