Broström Q2 Presentation 2008 Lennart Simonsson, CEO Anders Dreijer, Deputy MD
Agenda Welcome! Q2 2008 in words Q2 2008 in figures Fleet development Market trends Summary and Outlook 2008
Q1 in words Volatile and weak freight market during most of the second quarter 2008 European traffic experienced a weak start to the second quarter, which ended with an improvement  primarily for large tonnage. Atlantic traffic basically followed the same market pattern as European traffic. For large tonnage in Asian traffic, the freight market was relatively weak during essentially the entire  second quarter. Small tonnage in Asian traffic had continued stable development.
Q1 in words Change in transport capacity during the second quarter  The BRO ERIK (37,000 dwt) was delivered to Broström's partner in May 2008. The CPO FRANCE and the CPO SWEDEN (both 37,000 dwt) were delivered to Broström's partner Claus-Peter Offen. The vessels are now trading in Broström’s European sector. The EXCELLO (19,500 dwt) was delivered to Broström's partner Donsötank and is now operating in Broström’s European sector.

Spot Market Earnings
US market  impact from high oil prices Miles driven in the US has declined with year-on-year negative growth in 2007/2008 A contraction in miles driven has historically not been seen even during recessions (1990/1991 and 2001/2002)
US market  impact from high oil prices Less gasoline purchased as prices increase in the US market
Developments in Global consumption of oil
World Tanker Fleet Development (<60 kdwt)
Surplus value of the Broström fleet Market valuation of  Existing vessels Newbuilding contracts Average based on two external brokers As per 30 June 2008 the market value exceeded book value by approximately  SEK 2.3 billion
Outlook 2008
Outlook 2008 The market improvement – primarily for large tonnage – that took place at the end of the second quarter continued into the third quarter of 2008.  Broström's strategic position for 2008 and onward has been strengthened through acquisitions and investments made in recent years.  The trend in transport for the years immediately ahead in Broström's market segment is currently difficult to judge.  A large volume of new tonnage will be added to the market.  The high price of oil has brought about a greater urgency to reduce dependency on oil and growth forecasts for oil consumption have been adjusted downward.  Broström believes that major fluctuations will take place from period to period in both transport volume and freight rates.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Herr Ordförande, stämmodeltagare Så var det då åter dags att summera det gångna året och berätta lite om hur vi i Broström ser på de möjligheter och utmaningar som ligger framför oss. Jag kommer att ägna huvuddelen av mitt anförande åt att tala om framtidsutsikterna, men jag vill gärna inleda med några få bilder som illustration till 2007 som var ytterligare ett händelserikt och viktigt år för Broström. Sammanfattningsvis kan man säga att det var ett år som präglades av våra ansträngningar att befästa vår roll som en global och världsledande aktör.
