By | 2022 Newsletter week 49 | No Comments

For the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022:

  • Consolidated revenue: SEK 38,422 (26,742) million.
  • Consolidated EBITDA: SEK 10,551 (6,116) million. The operational EBITDA was the strongest in the Group’s history.
  • Consolidated EBITDA, excluding net gain/loss on sale of assets, operations and change in fair value of investment properties: SEK 9,561 (5,022) million.
  • Result before taxes: SEK 1,840 (12) million

Ferry operation EBITDA increased significantly compared to last year: SEK  4,189 (2,675) million.

The result is mainly an effect of increased travel and freight volumes as well as improved travel rates compared to last year.

EBITDA from chartering out ropax vessels increased by SEK 227 million to SEK 441 (214) million in the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 mainly due to the delivery of CÔTE D´OPALE in May 2021 and SALAMANCA in November 2021, offset by vessels sold in 2021.

In October 2022, a contract to sell the ropax vessel CONNEMARA was signed (buyer: Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferries).

DFDS’ 2021 Outlook Raised After Stronger Start Of The Year

By | 2021 Newsletter week 17 | No Comments
  • EBITDA outlook raised from DKK 3.0-3.5bn to DKK 3.2-3.6bn for 2021
  • Reason: stronger than expected freight results in most business units. There was as anticipated a considerable slowdown in volumes linked to the UK in January following the UK stockbuilding in Q4 2020. Since then, volumes have recovered faster than expected.
  • Uncertainty remains high and significant changes to outlook assumptions may still occur in the rest of the year.

Stena Line’s Newest Ship Debuts on Rosslare-Cherbourg instead of Belfast-Liverpool

Stena Line’s brand-new STENA EMBLA will make its Irish Sea debut on the Rosslare-Cherbourg service.  Originally scheduled for service on the Belfast-Liverpool route, due to the current Brexit related shift for direct routes and increasing customer demand, Stena Line has decided to temporarily deploy her on Rosslare-Cherbourg.

The first sailing will be from Rosslare on 14 January 2021.

STENA EMBLA will make three weekly return trips between Rosslare and Cherbourg, which alongside the STENA FORETELLER will see Stena Line operate 12 crossing per week between Ireland and the Continent.

Ferry Shipping News understands that route vessel STENA HORIZON needs maintenance. If she will return on the route is so far unclear.

DFDS: Increasing Freight Earnings 

  • Q3 freight earnings are above 2019 levels
  • Efficiency enhanced by adaptation of operations and business structure to market changes
  • Travel restrictions lowered passenger numbers significantly (-70%)
  • EBITDA 2020 outlook raised to DKK 2.5-2.7bn on 23 October

Q3, key figures (in DKK billion)

  • -19.6% Revenue (3,598)
  • -29.2% EBITDA before special items (846)
  • -46.0% EBIT before special items (388)
  • -49.9% Profit before tax and special items (324)
  • -59.4% Profit before tax (262)

EBITDA for freight ferry and logistics activities was DKK 126m above 2019 in Q3. The ongoing adaptation of operations and the business structure to market conditions post Covid-19 has been instrumental in achieving the increase. Besides higher margins, some activities also succeeded in raising volumes.

The continued tightening of travel restrictions during Q3 lowered, on the other hand, the passenger result below expectations. In Q3, EBITDA for passenger services was thus DKK 445m below 2019. This result includes passenger services in three business units that provide such services – Passenger, Channel and Baltic Sea.

Outlook 2020

On 23 October 2020, the outlook for 2020 was raised as freight volumes have developed more positively than expected during and after Q3.

EBITDA before special items is expected to be DKK 2.5-2.7bn in 2020 up from the previous outlook of DKK 2.2-2.5bn included in the Q2 2020 report.

  • Financial results (include fuel hedging) loss of EUR 12.51 million (profit of EUR 1.3 million)

-46.3% private vehicles

-15.6% freight units

-33.0% sailings (4,446 compared to 6,683 sailings last year).

In the context of these extraordinary and constantly changing circumstances, management monitored daily the traffic volumes data, the pandemic evolution, as well as the measures imposed by the Authorities and assessed the traffic evolution by market, vessel and route.

Based on these assessments, the management made timely decisions achieving, among others, reduced operational and general costs and adjusted vessel itineraries. These measures contained significantly the Group operating costs and achieved the best possible balance between services provided and market demand, considering the necessity to maintain the service and the connectivity of the islands and utilizing to the maximum extent the support measures for the affected companies announced by the Hellenic State.
