Jens Bjorn Andersen, CEO: "The markets of DSV are still characterised by low growth and fierce competition. DSV is on the right track and is gaining market share in most markets, and we are making strong headway within sea freight in particular. The reported operating profit for Q3 is in line with last year and our cash flow also shows positive development. Under the circumstances we are satisfied with this performance, however it is obvious that DSV’s goal is to deliver earnings growth."

Initial Underperformance
Dramatic increase in diesel prices
Increased oil prices and Swedish Krona depreciation
Sensitivity to oil price increase previously high. Hedging
strategy and indexation has significantly reduced sensitivity
Two new “mispriced” contracts inherited from the seller
Inflation compensation lower than realized cost inflation
CPI of 1.3% versus realized bus cost inflation of 2.4%; as at
February 2000, majority of revenue indexed to CPI
Cost savings more difficult to realize than originally anticipated
8. 8
We have now “Turned the Corner”
Operating recovery underway in FY2003
New Contracts successfully operational without major issues and
started to contribute substantially
Restructuring programme announced in February has been
successfully implemented providing incremental benefits
Quarter 1 FY2003 Highlights:
Revenue up + 12.6%
EBITDAR up + 74.7%
EBITDA up + 86.6%
“External” factors remain positively in our favour
Diesel prices stabilising
Swedish inflation acceptable
Performance of the business has turned and is improving:
new, profitable contracts, a better operating environment and incremental
cost savings

Financial Overview
Yes.. we are currently highly leveraged…but .
Top-line growth driven principally by introduction of new contracts
already awarded
Vast majority of FY2003 revenues contractually agreed
EBITDAR development driven by introduction of new contracts in
addition to unwinding of less profitable inherited contracts
Better Risk management and control systems
Continuing Restructuring will further enhance margin
Management incentivised to deliver financials
Strong Shareholder backing, improving credit ratios and macro and
industry factors …
We are better prepared for the future than we were yesterday..
