In line with our strategy to realise asset values, we have during the quarter realised part of the NAV by selling nine vessels, of which three of the vessels were from declared purchase options.

The 2025 full-year guidance that was upgraded as per Company announcement no. 80 on 25 April 2025 is maintained. As such, we expect a net profit in the range of USD 50–130 million (previously USD 20–100 million). This includes gains from sales of vessels of USD 45 million (previously USD 16 million ). The expectations were raised on the back of the increased gains from sales of vessels and good operational performance.

We propose to distribute USD 17 million to shareholders for the first quarter through a dividend of DKK 2 per share and a new share buy-back program of USD 7 million , corresponding to 52% of the result for the first quarter.

Kind regards,
Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S

Klaus Nyborg
Chair
