Haifa, Israel, November 15, 2023 – ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM), a global container liner shipping company, announced today its consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

Net loss for the third quarter was $2,270 million (compared to net income of $1,166 million in the third quarter of 2022), or a diluted loss per share of $18.904 (compared to diluted earnings per share of $9.66 in the third quarter of 2022). Net loss for the quarter was primarily driven by a non-cash impairment loss of $2,063 million

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $211 million, a year-over-year decrease of 89%

Operating loss (EBIT) for the third quarter was $2,276 million, compared to operating income of $1,544 million in the third quarter of 2022

Adjusted EBIT loss for the third quarter was $213 million, compared to Adjusted EBIT of $1,554 million in the third quarter of 2022

Revenues for the third quarter were $1,273 million, a year-over-year decrease of 61%

Carried volume in the third quarter was 867 thousand TEUs, a slight year-over-year increase

Average freight rate per TEU in the third quarter was $1,139, a year-over-year decrease of 66%

Net leverage ratio2 of 0.9x as of September 30, 2023, compared to 0.0x as of December 31, 2022; net debt of $1,619 million, compared to net cash of $279 million as of December 31, 2022


1 See Note 7 to the Company's Interim Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2023, for additional information regarding the impairment analysis and results.
2 See disclosure regarding “Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”
3 The Company does not provide IFRS guidance because it is not readily available. See disclosure regarding “Use of Non-IFRS Measures in the Company’s 2023 Guidance.”
4 The number of shares used to calculate the diluted earnings per share is 120,219,761. The number of outstanding shares as of September 30, 2023 was 120,252,451.


Eli Glickman, ZIM President & CEO, stated, “ZIM's third quarter results reflected the current operating environment, as demand remained weak and freight rates continued to deteriorate. Given our negative outlook for freight rates in the near future, we recorded a non-cash impairment loss of approximately $2.1 billion which negatively impacted our net results, as well as revised our full year guidance. We now expect to generate Adjusted EBITDA of $900 million to $1,100 million and Adjusted EBIT loss of $600 million to $400 million in 2023.”

Mr. Glickman added, “We are currently in a transition period, which we expect will extend into 2024, during which we should gradually see the benefits of the decisive actions we have taken to enhance ZIM’s commercial and operational resilience. Foremost, we embarked on a fleet renewal program, which included 46 newbuild containerships of which 28 are “green” LNG vessels, and that along with the redelivery of older, more expensive and less efficient vessels, we expect will improve our cost structure and drive long-term profitable growth. Our cost per TEU is declining and we expect to further reduce our cost base, as our chartered newbuilds, including a total of 28 dual-fuel LNG containerships, are added to our fleet through 2023-2024.”

Mr. Glickman further added, “We believe our ample total liquidity of approximately $3.1 billion at quarter-end will enable ZIM to maintain a long-term view while we weather prolonged market weakness. Specifically, we have initiated significant cost control measures, rationalized our capacity and adapted our network, with a focus on both maximizing our cash position and delivering an exceptional customer experience. Additionally, we entered into an important new collaboration with MSC during the third quarter that enhances operational efficiencies and further elevates service levels.”

Mr. Glickman concluded, “As we look towards the future, our focus is to emerge from the current downturn in a stronger position than ever. We intend to draw on our core values, leveraging data-driven strategies and the innovative spirit of our talented employees to create enduring value for both customers and shareholders. While market challenges may continue in the near term, we expect that the combination of the initiatives we have undertaken and our solid market position will drive profitable growth over the long term.”

Financial and Operating Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2023
Total revenues were $1,273 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $3,228 million for the third quarter of 2022, driven by the decrease in freight rates, partially offset by a slight increase in carried volume.

The third quarter of 2023 operating loss includes a non-cash impairment loss of $2,063 million. The decrease in operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was driven primarily by the impairment loss recorded in the current quarter and the above-mentioned decrease in revenues.

Liquidity, Cash Flows and Capital Allocation
ZIM’s total cash position (which includes cash and cash equivalents and investments in bank deposits and other investment instruments) decreased by $1.5 billion from $4.6 billion as of December 31, 2022 to $3.1 billion as of September 30, 2023.5 Capital expenditures totaled $14 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $62 million for the third quarter of 2022.

ZIM’s net leverage ratio as of September 30, 2023 was 0.9x, compared to 0.0x as of December 31, 2022.

Use of Non-IFRS Measures in the Company’s 2023 Guidance
A reconciliation of the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures included in its full-year 2023 guidance to corresponding IFRS measures is not available on a forward-looking basis. In particular, the Company has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT because the various reconciling items between such non-IFRS financial measures and the corresponding IFRS measures cannot be determined without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the future costs and expenses for which the Company adjusts, the effect of which may be significant, and all of which are difficult to predict and are subject to frequent change.

Updated Full-Year 2023 Guidance
The Company revised its guidance for the full-year 2023 and now expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA of between $900 million and $1,100 million and Adjusted EBIT loss of between $600 million and $400 million. Previously, the Company expected to generate Adjusted EBITDA of between $1.2 billion and $1.6 billion and Adjusted EBIT loss of between $500 to $100 million. This guidance reflects continued weakness in freight rates and soft demand across all of the Company’s trades.


5 On April 4, 2023, the Company distributed a dividend to shareholders of $6.40 per share or a total of approximately $769 million.

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 2022 Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023.

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, the non-IFRS financial measures 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 is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as 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.
- 7 -


Adjusted EBIT is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as 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 is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net cash generated from operating activities minus capital expenditures, net.

Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as face value of short- and long-term debt, minus cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments.  We refer to this measure as net cash when cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments exceed the face value of short- and long-term debt.

Net leverage ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net debt (see above) divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve-month period. When our net debt is less than zero, we report the net leverage ratio as zero.

See the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT and net cash generated from operating activities to free cash flow in the tables provided below.

1
Reporting entity

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (hereinafter - the "Company" or "ZIM") and its subsidiaries (hereinafter – "the Group" or "the Companies") and the Group’s interests in associates, operate in the field of cargo shipping and related services.
 
ZIM is a company incorporated in Israel, with limited liability. ZIM’s ordinary shares have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “ZIM” on January 28, 2021. The address of the Company’s registered office is 9 Andrei Sakharov Street, Haifa, Israel.

Basis of compliance
 

(a)
Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (hereafter – the “annual Financial Statements”). These condensed consolidated unaudited interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 15, 2023.
 

(b)
Estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the principal assumptions used in the estimation of uncertainty were the same as those applied to the annual financial statements.

Financial position
 
  (a)
The container shipping industry continues to be characterized by volatility in freight rates, charter rates and bunker prices, accompanied by continuing uncertainties in the global trade (including ongoing inflation and the rise of interest rates in certain countries, the implications of the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and other geopolitical challenges). In addition, regulators in certain jurisdictions (mainly in the U.S) have become more active in their regulatory oversight over our industry, through change in regulations and interpretation of related rules.

Following the balance sheet date, a war situation has started in Israel, commencing from October 7, 2023, after a massive terrorist attack on Israeli civilian and military targets near Israel’s southern border with the Gaza strip. As of today, there was no material impact on the Company’s operational and commercial activities. However, further escalation of this situation may affect the trade from and/or to Israel, as well as temporary interrupt the Company’s head-office activities.
 
In October 2023, the European Commission announced its decision not to renew the validity of the antitrust block exemption that is currently available to operational collaborations between maritime carriers (known as the Consortia Block Exemption Regulation, or the CBER), beyond its scheduled expiration date on April 25, 2024. As a result of this decision, commencing from the expiration date of the CBER, carriers (including the Company) will be required to self-assess the compliance of their operational collaborations with other carriers, rather than to rely on the CBER, where currently applicable. The Company is assessing the implications of the expiration of the CBER on its operations, but it does not currently believe that it will have a material impact on its operations as currently conducted.
 
Following the peak levels reached during 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, freight rates have decreased in most trades throughout the remainder of the year 2022 and continued to further decrease during the reported period.
 
In view of the aforementioned business environment and in order to constantly improve the Group’s results of operations and liquidity position, Management continues to optimize its network by considering, and when appropriate, implementing structural changes, participating in partnerships and cooperation agreements and by upgrading its customer’s offerings, whilst seeking operational excellence and cost efficiencies.
 
 In August 2023, the Company entered into a new operational cooperation agreement with MSC, encompassing several trades, including services connecting the Indian subcontinent with the East Mediterranean, the East Mediterranean with Northern Europe, and services connecting East Asia with Oceania. The agreements include vessel sharing, slot purchases and swap arrangements, and are designed to significantly enhance operational efficiencies, as well as to further elevate the Company’s service levels for its customers.
 
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of its operating assets and assesses them for impairment when indications exist. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss in a total amount of US$ 2,063.4 million - see also Note 7 for further details of the Company’s analysis.

Financial position (cont’d)
 
  (b)
In the second quarter of 2023, further to an expiration of related repurchase options, the Company concluded that certain vessels, which were previously subject to a sale and lease back transaction accounted as a secured borrowing, will be redelivered on lease maturity. Accordingly, the Company recorded US$ 46 million as a financial expense for remeasurement of the related liability and US$ 21 million as a capital loss for derecognizing such liability and the related vessels (both with no cash impact).

  (c)
Charter agreements:

Further to the Company’s long-term agreement with Seaspan for the chartering of ten 15,000 TEU new-build liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel vessels, six of such vessels were delivered to the Company, commencing February 2023. As of today, seven additional new-build vessels were delivered to the Company in accordance with other chartering agreements.
Additional vessels related to these agreements, as well as to other chartering agreements the Company entered into during 2021 and 2022, are scheduled to be delivered to the Company during 2023 and 2024 (see also Note 1(b) and Note 26 to the Company’s 2022 annual financial statements).

  (d)
Dividends:

In April 2023, further to the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors in March 2023, the Company distributed a dividend in an amount of US$ 769 million, reflecting US$ 6.40 per ordinary share.
 
  (e)
In 2020, a regulator in a certain jurisdiction decided to exclude a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company from an industry-related competition law investigation, initiated earlier in that year. In June 2023, a local court accepted an appeal on the decision to exclude this Company subsidiary from the said investigation, which is expected to be re-launched. At this preliminary stage, based on the opinion of the Company’s legal advisors, the outcome of this matter cannot be assessed.
 
  (f)
In June 2023 the Company (and its wholly owned digital freight forwarded subsidiary, Ship4WD) entered into an agreement with a factoring service provider, for the recurring sale of receivables, as part of the Company's initiatives to provide its customers with additional services, including trade credit. The sale of the receivables under this arrangement meets the conditions for derecognition of financial assets as prescribed in IFRS 9.

Earlier this year, the Company entered into a transaction with this factoring service provider according to which the Company made an equity investment in this entity and agreed to provide it a three-year revolving credit facility, secured by account receivables, of approximately US$100 million. According to the terms, the Company will be entitled to exercise warrants to the factoring service provider preferred shares in trenches, based on amounts drawn. In October 2023, the factoring service provider drew under this arrangement an amount of US$ 1 million.

Impairment test

Further to the volatile market terms discussed in Note 4, as well as the prolonging decrease in its market capitalization value, the Company tested its assets for impairment, as of September 30, 2023. For the purpose of IAS 36, further to the continuing increase in its vehicle shipping services activities, the Company concluded that its operating assets are grouped to two cash-generating units (CGUs), Container shipping services and Vehicle shipping services.
 
The Company estimated the recoverable amount of both CGUs on the basis of value-in-use, using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method.
 
The Company’s projections were estimated for the period ended on June 30, 2028 and a representative terminal year intended to reflect a long-term steady state. The key assumptions regarding both CGUs are set forth below:
 
 
Detailed cash flows for the abovementioned period, based upon the Company’s business plans.
 
 
Freight rates: expected to be further affected by industry’s supply and demand dynamics, as well as by macroeconomic trends and uncertainties. Freight rates of Containers shipping services are expected to remain at depressed levels in the coming quarters.
 
 
Carried volume: expected to increase over the projected period, in accordance with the Company’s fleet structure and business plans.
 
 
Bunkering costs: according to the future price curves of fuel and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
 
 
Charter hire rates: according to contractual rates in effect as of September 30, 2023, and estimated market rates for future renewals.
 
 
Post tax discount rate of 12.5% (reflecting an increase of 1.0% from prior analysis carried out in 2022 and during the reported period).
 
 
Long-term nominal growth rate of 2.5%.
 
 
Tax payments in accordance with the Company’s corporate tax rate of 23%.

Impairment test results
:
 
The impairment test of the Vehicle shipping services CGU resulted with no impairment to be recorded, as its recoverable amount exceeded its carrying amount.
 
The impairment test of the Container shipping services CGU resulted with an impairment loss in a total amount of US$ 2,063.4 million, which was allocated to the related assets, based on their carrying amount and limited to their individual estimated fair value, net of disposal costs as of September 30, 2023, as detailed below. Fair value of individual assets was estimated using several methods. Right of use assets of vessels and containers were estimated based on the cashflow approach, considering estimated lease and discounting rates. The market approach and the cost approach were used to estimate owned vessels and containers, as well as intangibles and other tangible assets.

The Company believes that the assumptions used in its analysis are reasonable and appropriate, considering past experience and current market trends and expectations. However, by nature, such assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and there can be no assurance that the Company’s assumptions will materialize, or whether freight rates, charter rates and bunker costs will increase or decrease by any significant degree.

Segment information

ZIM is managed as one operating unit, generating revenues from operating a global liner service network of cargo shipping and related services, in which lines share the use of its resources and their performance are co-dependent. Accordingly, the chief operating decision maker manages and allocates resources to the entire liner network. As there is no appropriate allocation for the Group’s results, assets and liabilities, these are all attributed to the Group’s sole operating segment.
