Making headway
2022 proved to be a uniquely challenging year, shaped by
external macroeconomic shifts, political fractures, and conflict.
The much-anticipated post-pandemic lift was almost immediately
tempered by increasing inflation and recession risk, further
tensions in international relations and an escalating energy and
climate crisis. All of which impacted the Wilhelmsen group, our
businesses, colleagues, partners, and stakeholders.
Price adjustments across our product and services portfolio to
reflect increases in raw material and freight costs, and positive
salary revisions across our organisation to lessen the impact of
rising inflation were two obvious responses to external factors.
But there is no more telling example of the unique and diverse
challenges of the year than our fair and honest withdrawal
from Russia.
STAYING ON COURSE
Despite the clear challenges, 2022 has been a positive year of
heightened activity, renewed optimism, and growing ambition
for the Wilhelmsen group. We continue to live our values, and
some might say stubbornly stick to our course. Building for the
future we remain focused on shaping our industry and long-
term value creation.
As the preferred partner for forward leaning owners
and operators, and as a key provider of essential energy
infrastructure and solutions supporting energy transition, the
Wilhelmsen group has benefitted from the upswing across
the maritime, offshore and renewables segments. An obvious
example is the very strong demand in the ro-ro market that
has brought Wallenius Wilhelmsen success. Their success
is a notable positive, as it is one of the Wilhelmsen group’s
cornerstone, strategic investments.
Shipping though, as the much used saying goes, is a ‘cyclical
industry’. I am confident that even the most positive of us
can acknowledge that the external factors which have come
together to deliver record rates in certain segments cannot,
and will not, last forever. It is why we continue to invest in
our future and further build our Maritime Services portfolio
through products and service innovation, partnerships, and
complementary bolt-on acquisitions.
Expanding the scope and scale of our offering to customers,
and integrating additional specialist competencies, in 2022 we
added specialized cargo hold cleaning company Stromme to
the Ships Service portfolio. We also acquired a majority stake
in Hamburg-based Ahrenkiel Tankers, to further strengthen
Ship Management’s position in the tanker segment. At the turn
of the year, a second cargo hold cleaning specialist, Navadan
was acquired. The acquisition of Vopak Agencies, the specialist
hub and port agency provider to the tanker market, was also
finalised at the beginning of 2023, supporting Port Services’
growth strategy.
NEW AND OLD ENERGY IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Both the Norwegian oil and gas sector and the European
offshore wind industry benefitted from significant short-term
investment, and renewed long-term interest, in 2022. This was
driven unsurprisingly by a stronger focus on EU energy security
in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As an example,
operational and logistics spending on the entire Norwegian
continental shelf alone was up 60% in 2022. While investments
and ambitions towards the offshore wind sector continue to
grow year over year, 2022 saw a 70% growth in targets for 2030
across Europe.
As a key supply chain partner to the current energy industry,
and as an important enabler for its future transition, NorSea’s
year was one of high activity, successful contract renewals
and forging new partnerships focusing on supporting the
energy shift. A Wilhelmsen company since 2012, NorSea is a
key foundation of our New Energy segment. Many promising
scalable initiatives such as hydrogen production, carbon
capture, and offshore wind park development are rooted in the
company. In 2022, we demonstrated our continued belief in
the competence and values of the company and its importance
Group — Group CEO’s statementWilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 9
Thomas Wilhelmsen,
group CEO
to our long-term strategy by exercising the option to increase
Wilhelmsen’s shareholding in NorSea from 75% to 99%.
TARGETS AND TRANSPARENCY
In parallel with investing directly in business growth through
M&A and investment activities, we continued to devote
considerable time, effort, and resources towards our clear
environmental, social and governance targets.
For example, we established an ESG index to measure our group
companies’ progress against annual targets, implemented a new
ESG reporting system to enable more robust GHG emissions
reporting, and had our 2022 GHG emissions 3rd party verified for
the first time. They are in my opinion genuine milestones. They
may not be headline grabbing on face value, but they are critical
for us to work systematically towards our first key climate goal,
net zero by 2030 from our own operations, which we are well
on our way to achieving. In addition, this year we will increase
transparency on our ESG performance, starting in the first
quarter of 2023, where we will include detailed ESG data within
our published quarterly results, a clear signal of our intentions.
We believe the companies which commit to accurate, in-depth
ESG reporting and realistic targeting, which in turn drives
tangible systematic action, will set themselves apart in the
eyes of their employees, customers, stakeholders, the talent of
tomorrow and society in general.
In a time when many companies are questioning their relevance
and vision for the future, together we are crystal clear in ours.
Achieving the right results, the right way and supporting an
equal, diverse, inclusive, and attractive workplace for all of us in
Wilhelmsen, we aspire to be the very best in class and to Shape
the Maritime Industry for the future.

MAIN DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION
The Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding group (Wilhelmsen or group)
is an industrial holding company within the maritime
industry. The group’s activities are carried out through fully
and partly owned entities, most of which are among the
market leaders within their segments. Wilhelmsen’s ambition
is to develop companies within maritime services, shipping,
logistics, renewables, and related infrastructure through
active ownership.
The vision is to be a shaper of the maritime industry. In 2022,
Wilhelmsen expanded the Maritime Services’ service offering
and made further investments within New Energy. Wilhelmsen
also continued to deliver return to its shareholders, with an
increase in operating result, net profit, and shareholder return
for the year.
2022 was marked by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the
subsequent war between the two countries. Rising inflation and
interest rates impacted the global economy, the life of ordinary
people, and companies. While the pandemic came to an end in
most parts of the world, climate change, geopolitical tension,
commodity shortages, and supply chain issues remain as global
challenges. In this business environment, the Wilhelmsen
operating companies continued to both perform and develop.
The board would like to thank all employees for their efforts
and contributions, ensuring that Wilhelmsen continue being a
shaper of the maritime industry.
This included organising the group around three distinct
business segments:
• Maritime Services
• New Energy
• Strategic Holdings and Investments
In 2022, all three business segments had a positive
development.
Maritime Services provides essential products and services
to the global merchant fleet, focusing on the three business
units Ships Service, Port Services, and Ship Management. In
2022, Wilhelmsen expanded its Maritime Services’ offering and
footprint through bolt on acquisitions spanning all the three
business units. Together with organic growth, this delivered an
increase in both total income and EBITDA for the year.
New Energy builds on the existing infrastructure and
competence serving the offshore and maritime industries to
create an ecosystem supporting energy transition. In 2022,
Wilhelmsen increased its shareholding in NorSea to 99%,
invested in new port facilities, and reached new milestones
building the New Energy platform within renewables and
future shipping solutions. Total income and EBITDA for New
Energy were up for the year, supported by sales gains.
The two main assets of the Strategic Holdings and Investments
segment are the shareholding in Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA
and the shareholding in Hyundai Glovis, owned through
Treasure ASA. Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA continued the
positive development throughout 2022, supported by a strong
shipping market. This lifted both net profit and market value to
its highest level since the merger in 2017. Hyundai Glovis also
continued to deliver positive results and increased dividend,
but market value was down for the year.
The Wilhelmsen group equity base remains strong. In 2022,
total equity increased with 5% to USD 2.3 billion, and the equity
ratio based on book values was stable at 65%.
In 2021, Wilhelmsen re-designed the portfolio of activities and
business units to intensify the growth of maritime service and
increase the focus on renewable energy and decarbonisation.
Liquidity was down for the year but remained comfortable.
Cash and cash equivalents totalled USD 163 million by the end
of the year, with total liquidity increasing to USD 880 million if
Group — Director’s reportincluding all financial assets. The main loan facilities in Maritime Services and
New Energy were both refinanced in 2022 for a period of five years.
THE BOARD OF WILH. WILHELMSEN HOLDING ASA
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 13
Wilhelmsen’s goal is to provide shareholders with a high return over time
through a combination of rising value for the company’s shares and payment of
dividend. Supporting the alignment of the senior executives’ and shareholders’
long-term interests, the long-term incentive scheme for senior executives is
based on an increase in value adjusted equity above certain thresholds and
other long term strategic targets. To further strengthen the alignment with
shareholders, new measures are being introduced related to Wilhelmsen shares
owned by senior executives and board members.
The Wilhelmsen share price had a strong development in 2022, outperforming
the general equity market and being the fourth consecutive year with positive
return. In 2022, total weighted return including share price development and
paid dividend was 35.5%, based on a total return of 35.7% for the WWI share and
a total return of 34.5% for the WWIB share. Wilhelmsen has an objective of
consistent yearly dividend paid twice annually. In 2022, a first dividend of NOK
4.00 per share was paid in May, and a second dividend of NOK 3.00 per share was
paid in November. For 2023, the board is proposing a first dividend of NOK 6.00
per share payable in the second quarter, and that the Annual General Meeting
authorises the board to declare a second dividend of up to NOK 4.00 per share.
The board believes sound corporate governance is the foundation for profitable
growth and a healthy company culture. Good governance contributes
to reduced risk and creates value over time for shareholders and other
stakeholders. The board is committed to a sustainable strategy which is a
vital prerequisite for Wilhelmsen to be a profitable and responsible player in
the industry and society. In 2022, greenhouse gas emissions, human rights,
ethics and anti-corruption, health, safety and wellness, equality, diversity
and inclusion, supplier management, and green growth and decarbonisation
received particular attention.
In 2023, Wilhelmsen will continue to develop the group to the benefit of
customers, shareholders, and the wider society, building on a more than 160-
year history of shaping the maritime industry.

Group — Director’s reportBy end of 2022, the group’s total interest-bearing debt including
lease liabilities was USD 654 million. Debt was up in New
Energy, mainly related to the increased ownership of Vikan
Næringspark Invest AS and the consolidation of the debt in
the company. This was partly offset by the FX effect from
converting NOK debt into USD.

in 2022, up 13% from 2021. Income was up for all main
business units.
EBITDA for the year was USD 94 million, up 5 % from the

and a strong USD but held back by higher freight and other
cost. EBITDA was up for all main business units. The Maritime
Services’ EBITDA margin was 15% in 2022, down from 16%.

goodwill originated from the acquisition in 2017 of Kemetyl’s
sales and marketing activities for consumer products
in Norway.

from USD 5 million due to increased contribution from Ship
Management.

Ships Service
Wilhelmsen Ships Service offers a portfolio of maritime solutions
to the merchant fleet.
Total income from Ships Service was USD 394 million in
2022, up 15% from the previous year. Income was lifted both
by higher volumes and by higher sales prices. Demand for
refrigerants and chemicals were up from last year, supported by
higher cruise activities. The higher sales prices mainly reflected
higher product and freight cost, which has been gradually
passed on to the customer.
In June, Wilhelmsen entered into an agreement with Seven
Seas to acquire 100% of their subsidiary Stromme. Stromme
is a specialised cargo hold cleaning company in the marine
industry with offices in Oslo, Hamburg and Singapore.
The acquisition was completed in September.
Port Services
Wilhelmsen Port Services provides full agency, husbandry, and
protective agency services to the merchant fleet.
Total income from Port Services was 136 million in 2022, up 8%.
The increase was partly due to a generally higher activity level
and partly due to increased demand for additional husbandry
services. Cruise activity remained behind pre-pandemic levels
mainly due to low activity in Asia.
In October, Wilhelmsen entered into an agreement to acquire
Vopak Agencies, a leading provider of hub services and port
agency within the tanker segments in Europe. The acquisition
was completed in December.
Ship Management
Wilhelmsen Ship Management provides full technical manage-
ment, crewing, and related services for all major vessel types.
Total income for Ship Management was USD 68 million in 2022,
up 25% from 2021. The increase partly reflected the full year
effect of a 2021 vessel management contract reported on a gross
value basis. Project related activities was up, while number of
vessels under management trended down before picking up
towards the end of the year.
In January, Wilhelmsen strengthened its position in the
tanker market through an agreement to acquire a majority
stake in Hamburg-based ship management company
Ahrenkiel Tankers.

Total income for New Energy was USD 333 million in 2022, up 8%
from 2021. Income was supported by higher operating revenue
and sales gains, but negatively impacted by the appreciation of
USD versus NOK and other European currencies.
EBITDA came in at USD 75 million, up 25%. The EBITDA margin
was 22%. EBITDA was lifted by the increase in operating result
and sales gain, but negatively impacted by a reclassification of
cost due to the full consolidation of Vikan Næringspark Invest
and a reallocation of corporate cost to the New Energy segment.
Adjusting for these effects, EBITDA was stable.
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 16
Profit to equity holders of the company was USD 31 million for
the year, up from USD 8 million in 2021.
NorSea Group AS
NorSea provides supply bases and integrated logistics solutions
to the offshore industry. Wilhelmsen owns 99.0% of NorSea.
Total income for NorSea was USD 292 million in 2022, up 8%
from 2021.
Operating revenue was supported by a strong increase in
activities in Denmark and a generally high activity level in most
other operations. The increase in operating revenue measured
in local currencies was offset by the FX effect from converting
revenue from local currencies into a stronger USD.
Sales gains in NorSea totalled USD 23 million in 2022, mainly
related to the investment in Vikan Næringspark Invest AS and
the sale of NorSea Fighter.
Share of profit from joint ventures and associates in NorSea was
USD 7 million.
In March, NorSea bought the remaining 50% of the shares in
Vikan Næringspark Invest AS, increasing ownership to 100%.
This resulted in a USD 17 million non-cash step up gain from
the change in accounting from associate to subsidiary of the
originally held 50% ownership.
On 31 May, Wilhelmsen increased the shareholding in NorSea to
99%, acquiring an additional 24% at a set option price of NOK
500 million. The remaining 1% is held by NorSea management.
In December, NorSea sold the supply vessel NorSea Fighter
with a sales gain of USD 6 million. This was the only vessel
owned by NorSea.

lion one year earlier.

was an expense of USD 2 million.

Risk management
The group is committed to managing risks in a sound manner
related to its businesses and operations. To accomplish this,
the governing concept of conscious strategy and controllable
procedures for risk mitigation ultimately provides a positive
impact on profitability. Governing boards, management,
and employees will monitor the environment in which the
companies operate, and implement measures to mitigate risks,
prepare to act upon unusual observations, threats or incidents,
and respond to risks to mitigate consequences. The group has
put in place a risk monitoring process based on identification
of risks for each business unit, and with a group risk matrix
presented to the board on a quarterly basis for review and
necessary actions.
Main risks
An overview of main risks and mitigation efforts defined in the
group risk matrix are outlined in the table below. On a macro
level, risk related to geopolitical issues remains high, and risk
related to the global financial outlook increased in 2022. During
the year, financial risk was reduced following a combination
of long-term refinancing of group companies and increased
upstream dividend capacity in main subsidiaries and strategic
holdings.
In addition, the group’s exposure to, and mitigation of,
certain financial risk is further described in note 19 to the 2022
group accounts.
Financial investments
Financial investments include cash and cash equivalents,
current financial investments and other financial assets held by
the parent and fully owned subsidiaries.
Net income from investment management was a loss of USD 3
million in 2022. The value of the current financial investment
portfolio held by the holding company was USD 104 million

investment-grade bonds.
Change in fair value of non-current financial assets (excluding
shareholding in Hyundai Glovis) was a loss of USD 5 million in
2022. The value of the assets was USD 75 million at the end of
the year. The largest investment was 25 million shares held in
Qube Holdings Limited, down from 35 million shares held one
year earlier.
Other business units and activities
This includes WilNor Governmental Services (owned 51% directly
and 49% through NorSea), holding company activities, and
certain other activities reported under the Strategic Holdings
and Investments segment.
Operating revenue for holding company activities was USD 17
million for the year, in line with the previous year.
Operating revenue for WilNor Governmental Services was
down, following cancellation of the main contract with the
Norwegian Defense Logistics Organisation at end of the first
quarter. Other operating revenue was up, mainly related to
intra group services.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Working environment and occupational health
The company conducts its business with respect for human
rights and labour standards, including conventions and
guidelines related to the prevention of child or forced labour,
minimum wage and salary, working conditions and freedom
of association. Employees and external stakeholders are
encouraged to report on non-compliant behaviour through the
group’s global whistleblowing system and make information
requests through the human rights email channel.
Exposure hours
In 2022, there were around 44.6 million exposure hours
(work hours) in the group. Vessel based operations accounted
for 81% of total exposure hours and onshore operations
accounted for 19%.

In 2022, the group’s variety of ongoing initiatives to maintain
employee wellbeing and a healthy and safe work environment
focused on mental health, working conditions, employee
assistance programs, safe social activities, and opportunities
for personal development.
right to equal opportunities. Harassment and discrimination
based on race, gender or similar grounds, or other behaviour that
may be perceived as threatening or degrading, is not acceptable.
Females represent 35% of the land-based work force, 25% of
senior management positions, and 1% of the seafarer work
force. The group’s target is to have at least 40% of each gender
in senior management positions by 2030.
One of the five members of the company’s group management
is female and two of the five directors on the board of directors
of Wilhelmsen are female.
In 2022, several initiatives related to working arrangements,
succession management, and awareness building were
conducted to progress the group’s target. Further information
related to EDI in Norway and globally is described in the ESG
report available on wilhelmsen.com.
Driving performance
Wilhelmsen strives to maintain a performance culture where
engaged employees deliver the right results the right way and
are rewarded accordingly.
The sickness absence rate was 2.28% for onshore operations
and 0.04% on vessels, in line with previous year. There were six
onshore occupational disease cases recorded in 2022.
Employee performance and engagement are measured through
annual engagement survey and performance appraisals.
Turnover
The turnover rate for employees was 11.56% in 2022, in line with
previous years. The turnover rate varies between entities.
Lost time injuries and total recordable cases
There were no work-related fatalities in 2022. The lost-time
injury frequency (LTIF) rate for seafarers was 0.25, within the
target not to exceed 0.40. The total recordable case frequency
(TRCF) rate was 1.86, within the target not to exceed 2.80. The
targets will remain the same for 2023.
During the year, campaigns for seafarers focused on COVID-19
measures and mental health and wellness. Crew changes were
conducted where possible, when risk mitigation conditions
were met, and according to international and local guidelines.
Management continued to be active in measures to enable the
safe and unhindered movement of seafarers to and from their
workplace.
For onshore operations, campaigns focused on safety risks and
mental and physical health and wellness.
The LTIF rate onshore was 0.40 in 2022, within target not to
exceed 0.40. The TRCF rate result of 0.79 was within target not
to exceed 1.00. The targets will remain the same for 2023.
All reported incidents were investigated to avoid similar
incidents in the future, improve necessary training, and
awareness measures.
ORGANISATION AND PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT
Workforce
The group’s head office is in Norway, and the group has 247
offices in 58 countries within its controlled structure. The group
employed 10 868 seafarers and 5 031 land-based employees at
the end of 2022.
Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI)
Wilhelmsen has a clear policy stating that employees have the
In 2022, Wilhelmsen conducted an employee engagement
survey with the results pointing to continued positive
engagement and mental well-being.
There is always room for improvement. Senior management
and individual managers in all locations were required to
conduct follow up discussions with their teams. Where results
were less than the expected benchmark, managers were
required to implement specific actions to improve results.
Compensation and benefits
The purpose of Wilhelmsen’s compensation and benefit
framework is to drive performance and to attract and retain
employees with the right experience and knowledge deemed
necessary to achieve the company’s business objectives and
strategic ambitions. The framework takes local regulations
and competition into account, as well as the responsibility and
complexity of the position.
The bonus schemes are one of several instruments to drive
performance. Bonus is paid if set bonus targets are reached.
Compensation to executives is described in the Remuneration
report available on wilhelmsen.com.
Investing in competence
A learning organisation with motivated employees contributes
to efficient operations and has a positive impact on the
financial performance.
Learning and innovation is one of the group’s core values,
and Wilhelmsen places particular emphasis on continuous
learning through its learn-share-apply method. The main
learning method is through on-the-job experiences, tasks and
problem-solving feedback, coaching (formal and informal) and
networks. Formal classroom courses, e-learning, seminars, and
videos supplement this approach.
Personal development plans for all employees are integrated in
the performance appraisal and review process, and employees
are encouraged to spend a minimum of eight hours of training
Group — Director’s reportper year. In 2022, there was an average of five hours of
e-learning recorded in the HR information system.
Developing leaders for the future
To meet challenging and changing environments, Wilhelmsen
is dependent on highly capable leaders.
Our leadership development journey consists of annual
learning modules for all leaders (approximately 1 000) in the
group. In 2022, the learning focused on leading change and will
in 2023 be focused on equality, diversity and inclusion.
Whistle blowing and anti-corruption
In 2022, there were 31 whistles received related to allegations
of fraud/corruption, data protection, health and safety, and
human rights related matters.
In 29 of the whistles, the reported issues have been concluded
with appropriate action taken, while two were pending a
conclusion at year end. There were no confirmed incidents of
corruption and no confirmed incidents of discrimination and
harassment. Five of the whistles were categorised as human
rights concerns.
The COVID-19 situation has also in 2022 had an impact on
compliance activities that require travel and physical presence
at various locations, such as investigations and audits. Follow up
of potential irregularities was mainly conducted by providing
guidance and instructions to local and regional resources.
As in previous years, a limited number of internal fraud cases
have been detected, as a principle such cases are reported to the
police. In February 2022, Wilhelmsen faced an external fraud
case which was reported to the police in several jurisdictions and
is on-going. Several concrete measures have been implemented
to reduce the risk of similar fraud cases, and cyber security and
fraud training programs are being reviewed and updated.
As part of opening business in new countries and/or investing
in new companies and/or merging or acquiring new businesses,
Wilhelmsen conduct country assessments and integrity due
diligence as part of the assessment. There has in 2022 been an
increase in M&A activities resulting in an extended number of
integrity due diligence assessments being conducted.
All group companies are expected to make risk assessments
and initiate mitigating actions where applicable. The board
receives a quarterly update on potential compliance issues and
awareness training and have an annual meeting dedicated to
discussing compliance, regulatory requirements etc.
To continue competence building with employees, a refresher
business standards program was rolled out in 2022 with a
100% participation rate. The program includes the areas of
anticorruption, theft and fraud, whistleblowing, competition
law and personal data protection.
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 22
Our commitment is implemented through our human rights
due diligence process developed in 2022, guided by the United
Nations Global Compact and Guiding Principles on Business
and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational
Enterprises. We assess our actual and potential human rights
impacts, integrate and act upon the findings, monitor progress,
track responses, and communicate how impacts are addressed.
In 2022, the group conducted 11 human rights due diligence
assessments; processed five whistles related to human rights
allegations; responded to two information requests from
stakeholders; and included human rights in supplier screenings
and assessments. The group also conducted awareness sessions
internally and developed a new supplier code of conduct which
will be released in 2023.
An account of Wilhelmsen’s human rights due diligence
pursuant to Section 4 of the Transparency Act is disclosed in
the group’s ESG report available on wilhelmsen.com.
ENVIRONMENT
The group’s ambition is to shape the maritime industry’s
transition towards net zero emissions and capitalise on green
growth. In practise, Wilhelmsen focus on greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions; biodiversity and ecosystems, circular economy, and
green growth and decarbonisation.
When delivering full technical management, crewing and
related services for all major vessel types, Wilhelmsen is in
a good position to influence compliant, sensible, safe and
environmentally sound operations for vessel owners. The
ongoing goal is to work with customers to optimize vessel
and voyage operations, collaboration on the decarbonisation
of shipping, and development of alternative fuels including
hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol.
Operational sites and bases set environmental targets and
improvement projects based on their individual site risk
assessments. The operations of our consolidated entities are
certified according to the ISO 14001 standard. Focus areas
include energy and emissions, material inputs, water use, waste
and recycling, oil separators and tanks and chemical handling.
Activities to reduce environmental impact include the
installation of solar panels, gradual electrification of
machinery, finetuning / replacement of heating and lighting,
reuse of packaging and pallets, appropriate waste segregation,
new product offerings, and supporting infrastructure
development to contribute to the renewable energy and carbon
capture value chains.
In 2022, the group’s New Energy segment invested USD 120
million in entities related to both renewable and energy
transition segments through own ventures, and together
with partners.
HUMAN RIGHTS
The group is committed to safeguarding human rights
across all businesses, irrespective of the countries in which
they operate. In accordance with the Wilhelmsen governing
elements, all group entities and supply chain partners are
expected to comply with the same standards regarding human
rights. With more than 10 000 value chain partners including
sub agents, sub-contractors, and suppliers in often complex
and extensive supply chains, there is significant work ahead to
ensure our expectations are clear to suppliers.
Climate risk and opportunities
Wilhelmsen is exposed to physical and transition climate risks
on a general basis and related to specific group companies. The
energy transition and the decarbonisation of shipping are the
backdrop for the transition risks for the group, but also present
significant opportunities. Wilhelmsen continues to work
with partners to drive energy infrastructure transformation
and maritime decarbonisation. This includes services to the
offshore wind industry, projects related to zero emission and
autonomous vessel operation, enabling renewable energy value
chains, digital services, and carbon capture.
Group — Director’s reportTo progress the group’s ambition for net zero emissions in own
operations by 2030, the group established 2022 as a base year and
set minimum targets for consolidated companies Scope 1 and
2 emissions based on guidance from the Science based targets
initiative (SBTi). Targets for Scope 3 will be developed in 2023.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Wilhelmsen is a public limited liability company organized
under Norwegian law and with a governance structure based on
Norwegian corporate law and other regulatory requirements.
The company’s corporate governance model is designed to
ensure a healthy company culture, reduce risk, and create
long-term value for shareholders and other stakeholders.
Wilhelmsen observes the Norwegian Code of Practice for
corporate governance. The board’s corporate governance report
for 2022 can be found on wilhelmsen.com. It is the board’s view
that the company has an appropriate governance structure
and that it is managed in a satisfactory way. The corporate
governance report is to be considered by the annual general
meeting on 27 April 2023.
SUSTAINABILITY
The group includes environmental, social, and governance
(ESG) issues in its investment analysis, business decisions,
ownership practises, and financial reporting. In 2022, the
group released a detailed ownership requirements statement
to clarify its expectations towards companies where it has
a significant shareholding. The group also introduced an
ESG index of 18 KPIs as a snapshot of the group’s activity in
four strategic ESG focus areas. The results are reported on a
quarterly basis to the board of directors and used as input to
executive remuneration.
The group actively contributed to collective action on ocean
health; decarbonisation of shipping; human rights; crew
welfare; equality, diversity, and inclusion; anti-corruption;
and marine pollution. We will continue to actively engage with
stakeholders directly and through our membership platforms
including Green Shipping Program Norway, UN Global
Compact, Maritime Anti-corruption Network (MACN), and
Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) amongst others.
Sustainability governance
The board is committed to a sustainable strategy and
acknowledges that it is a vital prerequisite for Wilhelmsen to be
a profitable and responsible player in the industry and society at
large. Wilhelmsen issues an ESG report following the guidelines
set forward in the Global Reporting Initiative’s sustainability
reporting standards. The report describes how Wilhelmsen
integrates ESG factors with long-term value creation.

A strong focus on climate measures in Europe and globally
will support, inter alia, a gradual shift from offshore oil and
gas to offshore wind, and decarbonization of the global fleet.
With a broad range of operations, infrastructure, and new
initiatives across offshore and other maritime activities,
Wilhelmsen is well positioned to participate in these energy
and technology shifts.
Outlook for Strategic Holdings and Investments
Wilhelmsen holds large strategic shareholdings in Wallenius
Wilhelmsen ASA and, through its 77% shareholding in Treasure
ASA in Hyundai Glovis. Through our shareholdings in these
companies, we will continue to provide and develop world
leading logistics services to the global automotive and ro-ro
industries.
A favorable supply-demand balance in global ro-ro shipping
has recently lifted the earnings and dividend capacity of our
strategic holdings. We expect this situation to remain over
the mid-term.
Long term, we believe that both Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA
and Hyundai Glovis have the size, global reach, human and
physical assets, and customer base to succeed in a continuously
changing world.
Outlook for the Wilhelmsen group
Wilhelmsen retains a strong balance sheet and a balanced
portfolio of leading maritime operations and investments.
While uncertainty persists, specifically regarding inflationary
pressure, supply chain issues, and geopolitical tension, the
group retains its capacity to support and grow the portfolio, and
to deliver consistent yearly dividends.

The board is proposing a NOK 6.00 dividend per share payable
during the second quarter of 2023, representing a total payment
of NOK 267 million. The board also proposes that the annual
general meeting authorises the board to declare a second
dividend of up to NOK 4.00 per share.
The board is granted an authorisation to, on behalf of the
company, acquire up to 10% of the company’s own issued
shares. The authorisation is valid until the annual general
meeting in 2023, but no longer than to 30 June 2023. The
company presently do not own any own shares.
OUTLOOK
Group business drivers and strategic focus
Wilhelmsen is an industrial holding company within the
maritime industry. The group’s activities are carried out
through fully and partly owned entities, most of which are
among the market leaders within their segments. Our ambition
is to develop companies within maritime services, shipping,
logistics, renewables, and related infrastructure through
active ownership.
Since last year strategic review, all segments have developed
according to agreed strategies and with defined priorities to
achieve long term objectives. Total income has been lifted
by both organic growth and acquisitions, and the upstream
cash capacity of the Wilhelmsen group companies and
investments has improved. This will support Wilhelmsen in
reaching its strategic ambitions and the vision of shaping the
maritime industry. At the same time, highly challenging and
volatile external drivers has continued to necessitate diligent
operations, cost focus, and capital discipline.
Outlook for Maritime Services
Maritime Services delivers value creating solutions to the global
merchant fleet, focusing on Ships Service, Port Services, and
Ship Management.
The Maritime Services operation is presently supported by
a generally positive global shipping market, and with some
further upside related to cruise. At the same time, inflationary
pressure, raw material shortages, and supply chain issues
are putting pressure on both the operation and on operating
margins. We expect these factors to remain in the short term.
Looking further ahead, we believe that the Maritime Services
market will continue to grow, supported by a growing world
economy. With global networks and strong brands built
over many years, and with a long history of innovation and
market adaption, Wilhelmsen is in a good position to service
this market.
Outlook for New Energy
The New Energy segment focuses on building an ecosystem
supporting energy transition. With segment companies
representing energy infrastructure, offshore wind, and
technology & decarbonisation, Wilhelmsen is driving value-
creation by bringing together their unique competencies.
High energy prices and supply constraints following the
Russian invasion of Ukraine have increased focus on securing
Europe’s need for energy. This supports a continued high
activity level at the offshore fields supported by NorSea and
other Wilhelmsen operations. We believe this situation to
remain in the short term. The winding down of the NorSea
Wind legal entity following the loss of its main contract will
have a negative impact on total income.

Group — Accounts and notesGeneral accounting principle Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding group
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 32
GENERAL INFORMATION
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA (referred to as the parent company) is domiciled in
Norway. The consolidated accounts for fiscal year 2022 include the parent company
and its subsidiaries (referred to collectively as the group) and the group’s share of
joint ventures and associated companies.
The annual accounts for the group and the parent company were issued by the board
of directors on 22 March 2023.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union. The
separate financial statements for the parent company have been prepared and
presented in accordance with simplified IFRS as approved by Ministry of Finance 10
December 2019. In the separate statements the exception from IFRS for recognition
of dividends and group contributions is applied. Otherwise, the explanations of the
accounting policy for the group also apply to the separate statements, and the notes
to the consolidated financial statements will to a large degree also cover the separate
statements.
Wilhelmsen also provides additional disclosures in accordance with requirements in
the Norwegian Accounting Act related to remuneration to the board and the senior
management.
The company is a public limited liability company, listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
When preparing the financial statements, the group and the parent company
must make assumptions and estimates. These estimates are based on the actual
underlying business, its present and forecast profitability over time, and expectations
about external factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and oil prices
which are outside the group’s and parent company’s control. This presents a
substantial risk that actual conditions will vary from the estimates.
Most statements of financial position items will be affected by uncertainty related to
estimates and assumption to a certain degree. The items most affected, and where
estimates and assumptions are assessed to have the greatest significance include:
• Deferred tax asset (Note 9)
• Goodwill (Note 7)
• Finance leases (Note 8)
• Loss allowance on accounts receivable (Note 13)
• Provisions and other non-current liabilities (Note 12)
Accounting principles applied, estimates and assumptions used by management are
presented in the respective notes.
The group does face risk as a result of climate change, and climate-related factors
may impact estimates and assumptions going forward. Uncertainties and risks relate
to both transition risk (market-related, technological, and changes in regulatory
requirements), and in physical risk that may affect the group’s assets is an integral
part of management’s estimates and judgements across the group.
The group has, where assessed relevant, included climate related considerations
when assessing critical accounting estimates and assumptions. For consolidated
accounts for fiscal year 2022, climate related considerations did not materially affect
the group’s estimates and assumptions.
Financial reporting principles
The financial reporting principles are described in the relevant notes in the
consolidated financial statements and in the notes in the financial statements of the
parent company.
The financial reporting principles described in the consolidated financial statements
also apply to the financial statements of the parent company, unless otherwise stated.

Note 2 Segment reporting
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 34
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
The operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal
financial reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers.
The chief operating decision-makers, who are responsible for allocating resources
and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as
the board and group management team, consisting of the group chief executive
officer (group CEO) and four executive managers.
SEGMENTS
The chief operating decision-makers monitor the business by combining entities
with similar operational characteristics such as product, services, market and
underlying asset base, into operating segments.
The Maritime Services segment offers marine products, ship agency services and
logistics to the merchant fleet and ship management including manning for all major
vessel types, through a worldwide network of 247 offices in 58 countries.
The New Energy segment includes the NorSea Group and other New Energy
activities. The activity is mainly related to the operation of supply bases for the
offshore industry in Norway, as well as real estate development and operation of
properties both on and off the supply bases. In addition to the activity in Norway, the
segment offers its services in both Denmark and in the UK. The international activity
consists of both operation of supply bases, maintenance of rigs and handling of
logistics related to international pipeline projects and windmill parks. Other activities
within the segment include technical management and crew management for the
offshore wind market and digital solutions to the shipping industry.
The Strategic Holdings and Investments segment includes the parent company,
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA, Treasure ASA group, Wilh.Wilhelmsen Holding Invest
Malta and other corporate group activities (operational management, legal, finance,
portfolio management, communication and human relations) which fail to meet the
definition for other core activities.
The group’s investment in Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA (WAWI) is presented as part of

MARITIME SERVICES
Ship services - Sale of goods
The group offers a wide range of products to the maritime industry. The products are
delivered to the customer at vessel or warehouse, which is also the point in time where
control transfers to the customer and revenue is recognised net of any discounts.
Some customers are entitled to retrospective volume discounts based on aggregate
sales over a defined period. Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the
price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts. Accumulated
experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the expected value
method, and revenue is only reconised to the extent that it is highly probable that a
significant reversal will not occur. A refund liability (included in other current liabilities) is
recongised for expected volume discounts payable to customers in relations to sales
made until the end of the reporting period. The contracts typically has payment terms
of 30 days after delivery, and no significant financing component is identified.

standards, and will usually include an annual compensation payable in monthly
arreas, in addition the ship owner is charged a monthly fee per crew onboard the

PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
In general the contracts with customers are of a short term nature, except for
the framework agreements described under New Energy Infrastructure and Ship
Management. For infrastructure the framework agreements can be for a period of up
to 10 years, but do not define any minimum volume. For Ship Management contracts
the customer can terminate the contract without cause on a 3 months basis. Because
of this there is no significant unsatisfied performance obligations as of year end.

Note 4 Investments in joint ventures and associates
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 38
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Joint arrangement
Under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint arrangements are
classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends
on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal
structure of the joint arrangement. The group has assessed the nature of its joint
arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.
Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method after initially
being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.
Associates
Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not
control or control jointly. This is generally the case where the group holds between
20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting after initially being recognised at cost in the
consolidated balance sheet.
Equity method
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised
at cost and adjusted subsequently to recognise the group’s share of the post-
acquisition profits after tax of the investee in income statement, and the group’s
share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other
comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint
ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
Sale and dilution of the share of associate companies is recognised in the income
statement when the transactions occur for the group.
Where the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals
or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term
receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates and joint
ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of
an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity-accounted
investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the group.
The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment
when impairment indicators are present.
When the group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment
because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained
interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying
amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying
amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as
an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously
recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted
for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may
mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are
reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but significant
influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously
recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where
appropriate.

Properties, vessels and other tangible assets
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 46
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Properties, vessels and other tangible assets acquired by group companies are
stated at historical cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis. The
carrying value of tangible assets equals the historical cost less accumulated
depreciation and any impairment charges. The group’s aquisition costs are
recognised in the income statement when they arise. Aquisition costs are
capitalised to the extent that they are directly related to the acquisition of the
asset. Land is not depreciated. Other tangible assets are depreciated over the
following expected useful lives:
Properties:
Vessels:
Other tangible assets:
10-50 years
25 years
3-10 years
Each component of a tangible asset which is significant for the total cost of the
item will be depreciated separately. Components with similar useful lives will be
included in a single component.
The estimated residual value and expected useful life of long-lived assets are
reviewed at each balance sheet date, and where they differ significantly from
previous estimates, depreciation charges will be changed accordingly going
forward.
Impairment
The group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether property,
vessels and other tangible assets is impaired and to recognise any impairment loss
identified.
At each reporting date the accounts are assessed whether there is an indication
that an asset may be impaired. Assets that are subject to amortisation or
depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If any
such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required,
estimates of the asset’s recoverable amount are done. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units – CGU). The recoverable
amount is the highest of the fair market value of the asset, less cost to sell, and the
net present value (NPV) of future estimated cash flow from the employment of the
asset (value in use).
The NPV is based on a discount rate according to a weighted average cost of capital
(WACC) reflecting the company’s required rate of return. The WACC is calculated
based on the company’s long-term borrowing rate and a risk-free rate plus a risk
premium for the equity. If the recoverable amount is lower than the book value,
impairment has occurred, and the asset shall be revalued. Impairment losses are
recognised in profit or loss. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting
date.
The group has financial models which calculate and determine the value in use
through a combination of actual and expected cash flow generation discounted to
present value. The expected future cash flow generation and models are based on
assumptions and estimates.

Cont. note 7 Goodwill and other intangible assets
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 47
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any
non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any
previous equity interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net
assets of the acquired subsidiary, joint venture or associate. Goodwill arising from
the acquisition of subsidiaries is classified as an intangible asset. Goodwill acquired
through business combinations are allocated to the relevant cash-generating unit
(CGU).
Other intangible assets
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised
as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the
design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the
group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
• it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be
available for use;
• management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;
• it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future
economic benefits;
• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development
and to use or sell the software product are available;
• and the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development
can be reliably measured.
Trademark, technology/licenses and customer relationship have a finite life and
are recognised at historical cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is
calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and
licenses over their estimated useful life. Capitalised expenses related to other
intangible assets are amortised over the expected useful lives in accordance with
the straight-line method.
Amortisation of intangible fixed assets is based on the following expected useful lives:
Goodwill:
Software and licenses:
Other intangible assets:
Indefinite life
3-5 years
5-10 years
Impairment
The group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether goodwill or
other intangible asset is impaired and to recognise impairment loss identified.
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of an interest in an associated company is
included under investment in associated companies and tested for impairment
as part of the carried amount of the investment when impairment indicators is
present. Goodwill have an indefinite useful life not subject to amortisation and is
tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less impairment losses. Gain or
loss on the sale of a business includes the carried amount of goodwill related to
the sold business.
For impairment testing goodwill is allocated to relevant CGU. The allocation is
made to those CGU or groups of CGU which are expected to benefit from the
acquisition. An assessment is made as to whether the carrying amount of the
goodwill can be justified by future earnings from the CGU to which the goodwill
relates. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount
of the CGU, including goodwill, goodwill will be written down first. Thereafter the
carrying amount of the CGU will be written down. Impairment losses related to
goodwill cannot be reversed.
Impairment of other intangible assets follow the same principles as impairment
for other non-financial assets, refer to financial reporting principles for property,
vessels, and other tangible assets above.

Impairment testing of goodwill
In the Maritime Services segment, USD 87 million relate to business area Ships
Service (all activities in the Maritime Services segment except for technical /crewing
management) mainly to the acquisition of Unitor ASA. The goodwill figures are
originally calculated in NOK and USD (2021: NOK and USD). Goodwill is tested for
impairment annually.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the respective cash
generating units within the Ships Service business area.
recognised by applying the valuation method and assumptions described below.
No other impairment of goodwill was recognised in the group during 2022.
(2021: No impairment of goodwill).
When performing the goodwill impairment test, recoverable amount is calculated
using estimated fair value less cost of disposal. In calculating the fair value less
cost of disposal, the group considers relevant information generated by market
transactions involving similar group of assets, including qualitative and quantitative
information.
As of December 31 2022 management have performed impairment testing for the
group’s recognised goodwill. The group recognised an impairment of USD 13 million
in 2022 for goodwill related to the acquisition and business combination of Kemetyl
in the group’s Maritime Services Segment. The impairment was attributed to the
consumer product operations of the Wilhelmsen Chemicals sub-segment assessed
as a separate CGU, where the goodwill related to this CGU was fully impaired.
The impairment was as a result of market development and the loss of customer
contracts within the sub-segment and general weak development in demand within
the consumer products portfolio. The goodwill was tested and impairment loss was
Fair value less cost of disposal has been estimated by using an Enterprise value/
EBITDA multiple (see note 23 for definition of the terms). The forecasted EBITDA
is based on historical levels for EBITDA in each CGU. The multiples are estimated
to be in the range of 6 - 9, which management believes is a fair estimate of market
multiples for the relevant CGU’s.
Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and next year’s
forecast. Cash flows is based on a 5-year strategy plan period with terminal value
(terminal growth rate 1%) were extrapolated using the following key assumptions:

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment
of future trends in the maritime industry and are based on both external sources and
internal sources.
For goodwill not subject to impairment in 2022, no reasonably possible change in
any of the key assumptions on which management has based its determination of
the recoverable amount would cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable
amount as of December 31 2022.

Right-of-use-assets and lease liabilities
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 49
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Identifying a lease
At the inception of a contract, the group assesses whether the contract is, or
contains a lease. A contract is, or contains a lease if the contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration. To determine whether a contract conveys the right to control the use
of an identified asset, the group assesses whether:
The group do not include variable lease payments in the lease liability arising
from contracted index regulations subject to future events. The lease liability is
subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on
the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments
made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease
modifications, or to reflect adjustments in lease payments due to an adjustment in
an index or rate.
• The agreement creates enforceable rights of payment and obligations
• The identified asset is physically distinct
• It has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use
of the asset
• It has the right to direct the use of the asset
• The supplier does not have a substantive right to substitute the asset throughout
the period of use
Sensitivity of the lease liability
If the group cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, it uses its
incremental borrowing rate to measure lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing
rate requires estimation when no observable rates are available. In determining the
lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances. The assessment
is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs
which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.
Measuring the right-of-use asset
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use
asset comprise:
• The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability
• Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease
incentives received and incurred costs
• An estimate of costs to be incurred by the group in dismantling and removing
the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the
underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the
lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.
Subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets follow the same principles as
for other non-financial assets, refer to financial reporting principles for property,
vessel and tangible assets note 7, except that the right-of-use asset is depreciated
from the commencement date to the earlier of the lease term and the remaining
useful life.
Impairment
Impairment of right-of-use assets follow the same principles as impairment for
other non-financial assets, refer to financial reporting principles for property,
vessels, and other tangible assets note 7.
For contracts that constitutes, or contains a lease, the group separates lease
components if it benefits from the use of each underlying asset either on its own or
together with other resources readily available, and the underlying asset is neither
highly dependent on, nor highly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the
contract. The group then accounts for each lease component as a lease separately
from non-lease components within the contract. The group allocates the
consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative
stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price
of the non-lease components. If an observable stand-alone price is not readily
available, the group estimates this price by the use of observable information.
Recognition of leases and exemptions:
At the lease commencement date, the group recognizes a lease liability and
corresponding right-of-use asset for all lease agreements in which it is the lessee,
except for the following exemptions applied:
• Short-term leases (defined as 12 months or less)
• Low value assets
For these leases, the group recognizes the lease payments as other operating
expenses in the statement of profit or loss when they incur.
Measuring the lease liability:
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments
for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term not paid at the
commencement date. The lease term represents the noncancellable period of the
lease, plus any period covered by an extension option period if the group expect tp
exercise this option. The lease payments included in the measurement comprise of:
• Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease
incentives receivable
• Amount expected to be payable by the group under residual value guarantees
• The exercise price of a purchase option, if the group is reasonably certain to
exercise that option
• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the
group exercising an option to terminate the lease.

Practical expedients applied:
The group leases personal computers, IT equipment and machinery with contract
terms of 1 to 3 years. The group has elected to apply the practical expedient of
low value assets and does not recognise lease liabilities or right-of-use assets.
The leases are instead expensed when they incur. The group has also applied the
practical expedient to not recognise lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for short-
term leases, presented in the table above.
The group does not have material lease commitments, not yet commenced and
therefore not included in the lease liabilities as of 31 December 2022 (2021:
USD 0 million).
Extension options:
The group’s lease of buildings have lease terms that varies from 5 years to 25 years,
and several agreements involve a right of renewal which may be exercised during the
last period of the lease terms. The group assesses at the commencement whether it
is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal right.
Purchase options:
The group leases machinery, equipment and vehicles with lease terms of 3 to 5 years.
Some of these contracts includes a right to purchase the assets at the end of the
contract term. The group assesses at the commencement whether it is reasonably
certain to exercise the purchase right. All the options are based on market value.
Subleases:
The group has subleased an immaterial part of its redundant office buildings,
classified as an operating lease.

Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 52
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCPLES
Income tax in the income statement consists of current tax, effect of changes
in deferred tax/deferred tax assets, and withholding tax incurred in the period.
Income tax is recognised in the income statement unless it relates to items
recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using
tax rates and laws which have been enacted by the balance sheet date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the
deferred income tax liability settled.
Current tax:
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss
for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting
date that will be paid during the next 12 months. Current tax also includes any
adjustment of taxes from previous years and taxes on dividends recognised in
the period.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable profit will be available, and that the temporary differences can
be deducted from this profit. Deferred income tax is calculated on temporary
differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where
the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group.
Deferred tax / deferred tax asset:
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on all temporary differences
Withholding tax:
Withholding tax and any related tax credits are generally recognised in the period
they are incurred.
Ordinary taxation
The ordinary rate of corporation tax in Norway is 22% of net profit for 2022 (2021:
22%). Norwegian limited liability companies are encompassed by the participation
exemption method for share income. Thus, share dividends and gains are tax free
for the receiving company. Corresponding losses on shares are not deductible.
The participation exemption method does not apply to share income from
companies domiciled in what is considered low tax countries and that are located
outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and on share income from companies
rdomiciledoutside the EEA in which the company owns less than 10% of the shares.
For group companies located in the same country and within the same tax regime,
taxable profits in one company can be offset against tax losses and tax loss carry
forwards in other group companies. Deferred tax/deferred tax asset has been
calculated on temporary differences to the extent that it is likely that these can be
utilised in each country and for Norwegian entities the group has applied a rate of
22% (2021: 22%).
The effective tax rate for the group will, from period to period, change dependent
on the group gains and losses from investments inside the exemption method.
Foreign taxes
Companies domiciled outside Norway will be subject to local taxation, either on
ordinary terms or under special tonnage tax rules. When dividends are paid, local
withholding taxes may be applicable. This generally applies to dividends paid by
companies domiciled outside the EEA.

The majority of tax loss carry forward is related to entities in Norway and the United
States, without expiration of the tax loss carry forward. Through the acquisition of the
external shares in Norsea group, the group reversed the impairment of deferred tax
assets due to taxable income in NorSea group.
Temporary differences related to joint ventures and associates are USD nil for
the group, since all the units are regarded as located within the area in which the
exemption method applies, and there are currently no plans to dispose of any of
these companies.
The Maritime Services segment will have shares in subsidiaries not subject to the
exemption method which could give rise to a tax charge in the event of a sale, where
no provision has been made for deferred tax associated with a possible sale or
dividend. There are currently no plans to dispose of such companies.

Defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is one under which the group and the parent company
pay fixed contributions to a separate legal entity. The group and the parent
company have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if
the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating
to employee service in the current and prior periods.
is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit
method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality
corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will
be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related
pension obligation. In a few countries without deep markets in such bonds, the
market rates on government bonds are used.
Defined benefit plan
A defined benefit plan is one which is not a defined contribution plan. This type
of plan typically defines an amount of pension benefit an employee will receive
on retirement, normally dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of
service and pay.
The pension obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using a
straight-line earnings method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to
equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past-
service costs are recognised immediately in the income statement.
The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension
plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the
reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation
Description of the pension scheme
The group’s defined contribution pension schemes for Norwegian employees are
with financial institutions providing solutions based on investment funds.
The group has obligation towards one employee in the group’s senior executive
management. The obligation is mainly covered through group annuity policies in
Storebrand.
Subsidiaries outside Norway have separate schemes for their employees in
accordance with local rules, and the pension schemes are for the material part
defined contribution plans.
The group has a supplementary pension plan, a contribution plan for all Norwegian
employees with salaries exceeding 12 times the Norwegian National Insurance base
amount (G). However, the group still has obligations for some employees related to
salaries exceeding 12G mainly financed from operations.
In addition, the group has agreements on early retirement. These obligations are
mainly financed from operations.
Pension costs and obligations include payroll taxes. No provision has been made for
payroll tax in pension plans where the plan assets exceed the plan obligations.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in
actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive
income in the period in which they arise.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCPLES
Loans and receivables at amortised cost
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments, which are not traded in an active market. They are included in current
assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date.
These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivable are classified as
other current assets or other non-current assets in the balance sheet.

Loans and receivables are recognised initially at their fair value plus transaction
costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the
cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred, and the group has
transferred by and large all risk and return from the financial asset. Realised gains
and losses are recognised in the income statement in the period they arise.
Accounts payable and other payables
Accounts payable and other payables are recognised at the original invoiced
amount, where the invoiced amount is considered to be approximately equal to the
vale derived if the amortised cost method would have been applied.

onboard their vessels.
Provisions in other current liabilities, including cylinder deposit liability, does include
some degree of uncertainty due to the nature of the provisions. Provisions are
calculated and recognised based on available information and assumptions at the
time when the provision is made, and will be updated if needed when new information
becomes available.

Note 13 Receivables
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 57
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Account receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as receivables.
Account receivables and other receivables are recognised at the original invoiced
amount, where the invoiced amount is considered to be approximately equal to the
value derived if the amortised cost method would have been applied.
The group measure expected credit losses at lifetime expected loss allowance
for all trade receivables and contract assets, including receivables from lease
contracts
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have
been grouped based on shared credit risk charateristics and the days past due.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period
of 36 month before the reporting period and the corresponding historical credit
losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted
to reflect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors
affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The group has
identified the GDP and the unemployment rate of the countries in which it sells its
goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the
historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.

Group — Accounts and notes
Note 19 Financial risk
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 63
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
The group uses derivatives to address financial risk. Derivatives are included in
current assets or current liabilities, except for maturities greater than 12 months
after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets or other
non-current liabilities as they form part of the group’s long-term economic hedging
strategy and are not classified as held for trading.
The fair value of financial derivatives traded in active markets is based on quoted
market prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial derivatives not
traded in an active market is determined using valuation methodology, such as
the discounted value of future cash flows. Independent experts verify the value
determination for instruments which are considered material.
Derivatives are recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered
into and are revalued on a continuous basis at their fair value.
Derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting
Most derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the
fair value of any derivative instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting
are presented in the income statement as financial income/expense.
Derivatives which do qualify for hedge accounting
The group designates certain derivatives as hedges of highly probable forecast
transactions (cash flow hedges).
At the date of the hedging transaction, the group documents the relationship
between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the objective of its
risk management and the strategy underlying the various hedge transactions. The
group also documents the extent to which the applied derivatives are effective in
offsetting changes in fair value or cash flow associated with the hedge items. Such
assessments are documented both initially and on an ongoing basis.
The fair value of derivatives used for hedging is shown below in note 19. Changes
in the valuation of qualified hedges are recognised directly in other comprehensive
income until the hedged transactions are realised.
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as
cash flow hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income together with
the deferred tax effect. Gain and loss on the ineffective portion is recognised in
the income statement. Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income are
recognised as income or expense in the income statement in the period when the
hedged liability or planned transaction will affect the income statement.
Net investment hedge
Gain and losses arising from the hedging instruments relating to the effective
portions of the net investment hedges are recognised in other comprehensive
income. These translation reserves are reclassified to the income statement upon
loss of control of the hedged net investments, offsetting the translation differences
from these net investments. Any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in
the income statement as financial income/(expenses).
The group has exposure to the following financial risks from its operations:
• Market risk
– Foreign exchange rate risk
– Interest rate risk
– Equity market risk
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
MARKET RISK
The group has established hedging strategies to mitigate risks on material exposures
originating from movements in currencies and interest rates. This is compliant with
the financial strategy approved by the board of directors.
Changes in the market value of financial derivatives are recognised through the
income statement except for the New Energy segment, where derivatives are
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
Associates hedge their own exposures. The group records the effects of realised
and unrealised changes in financial derivatives held in these entities in accordance
with the equity method under “share of profit from joint ventures and associates”. The
material associates are Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA group in Strategic Holdings and
Investments segment and Coast Center Base group in New Energy segment.
Foreign exchange rate risk
The group is exposed to currency risk on revenues and costs in non-functional
currencies (transaction risk), and balance sheet items denominated in non-functional
currencies (translation risk).
The group’s largest foreign exchange exposures are NOK, EUR, SGD, AUD and KRW -
all against USD.
TRANSACTION RISK HEDGING (CASH FLOW)
The group’s operating segments are responsible for hedging their own material
transaction risk. Within Maritime Services, USD/NOK, EUR/USD and USD/SGD
exposures are subject to a systematic 3-year rolling hedge program, utilizing a
portfolio of currency options and currency forwards. The group target current hedge
ratio to be within the interval of 30-70% of future opex. USD/MYR is hedged using
currency forwards with maturities up to 12 months. Remaining exposures are non-
material and not hedged.
TRANSLATION RISK HEDGING (BALANCE SHEET)
The group’s policy for mitigating translation risk is to match the denomination
currency of assets and liabilities to as large extent as possible.
FX SENSITIVITES (TRANSLATION RISK)
The group monitors the net exposure and calculates sensitivities on a regular
basis, based on average market volatility per currency cross. Sensitivities showing
a potential accounting effect below USD 5 million on group level are considered
non-material.

For Maritime Services, New Energy and Strategic Holdings and Investments, material
translation risks are booked to other comprehensive income due to the functional
currency for most of the entities being different from the reporting currency USD.
The group’s segments perform sensitivity analyses on the unhedged part of the
transaction risk on a regular basis.
The portfolio of derivatives used to hedge the group’s transaction risk (described

Interest rate risk
The group’s strategy is to hedge material parts of the interest-bearing debt against rising
interest rates. As the capital intensity varies across the group’s business segments,
which have their own policies on hedging of interest rate risk, hedge ratios vary.
The Group has financial liabilities that are exposed to NIBOR, NOWA and USD Term
SOFR reference rates. The Group has current interest-bearing liabilities of USD 190
million that have a USD Term SOFR reference rate. Other current interest-bearing debt is
primarily linked to NIBOR and NOWA. No date has been set for the transition of NIBOR,
however the Group is attentive to the development of the IBOR reform.
Within Strategic Holdings and Investments and Maritime Services respectively, no inte-
rest rate hedging is implemented due to low net interest-bearing debt (NIBD), whereas
New Energy have hedged about 56% of its NIBD as of 31 December 2022.
The risk exposure related to financial instruments as a consequence of the transition is
considered to be low. The IBOR reform will not change the risk management strategy.

on the expiry date, exercising the swaptions by the counterparties will extend the
maturity of expiring swaps until 2032.
The average remaining term of the existing total debt portfolio is later than 5 years.

Interest rate sensitivity
The group’s interest rate risk originates from differences in duration between assets
and liabilities. On the asset side, bank deposits and investments in interest-bearing
instruments are subject to risk from changes in the general level of interest rates,
primarily in USD and NOK.
The group uses the weighted average duration of interest-bearing liabilities, and
financial interest rate derivatives to compute the group’s sensitivity towards changes
in interest rates.

CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the group if a customer or counterparty to
a financial derivative fails to meet its contractual obligations. The group’s credit risk
originates primarily from the account receivables, financial derivatives used to hedge
interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk, as well as investments, including bank
deposits.
Loans and receivables
TRADE RECEIVABLES
The group’s exposure to credit risk on its receivables varies across segments and
subsidiaries.
BANK DEPOSITS AND FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
The group maintains cash management operations and trades financial derivatives
with a selection of financially solid banks (as determined by their official credit
ratings), limiting the corresponding credit risk.
OTHER CREDIT EXPOSURES
No material loans or receivables were past due or impaired at 31 December 2022
(analogous for 2021).
Guarantees
The group’s policy is that no financial guarantees are provided by the parent
company. However, financial guarantees are provided within Maritime Services and
New Energy. See note 18 for further details.
Within the Maritime Services and New Energy, the global customer base provides
diversification with respect to credit risk on receivables. The segments monitor and
manage their respective credit risk on a regular basis. Reference is made to note 13.
Credit risk exposure
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was as per below table:

LIQUIDITY RISK
The group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that the group meets its
liabilities, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable
losses or risking damage to the group’s reputation.
At 31 December 2022, the group had in excess of USD 313 million (2021: USD
435 million) in cash, investment grade bonds and listed equities (cash and cash
equivalents, current financial investments and investment in Qube Holdings Limited),
in addition to USD 172 million (2021: USD 195 million) in committed undrawn credit
facilities.
The group’s liquidity risk is low in that it holds significant liquid assets in addition to
credit facilities with the banks.

COVENANTS
The group’s bank and lease financing are subject to financial or non-financial
covenant clauses related to one or several of the following:
• Limitation on the ability to pledge assets
• Change of control
• Minimum liquidity
• NIBD / EBITDA or equivalent Debt-Service Coverage-Ratios
• Loan-to-Value
As of the balance date, the group is not in breach of any financial or non-financial
covenants. Covenants are related to the consolidated accounts of Wilhelmsen
Maritime Services AS and NorSea Group AS
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 67
CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The group’s overall policy is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor,
creditor and market confidence and to sustain future business development. The
board of directors monitors various return metrics, where Return on Equity and
dividend levels are predominant.
The group seeks to maintain a balance between the potential higher returns
stemming from higher levels of financial gearing and the advantages of a strong
balance sheet. The financial strategy and setting of thresholds for capital structure,
return requirements and risk are revised by the board of directors.
FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION
The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is based on quoted
market prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments not
traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) is based on third party
quotes. These quotes use observable market rates for price discovery. Specific
valuation techniques used by financial counterparties (banks) to value financial
derivatives include:
• Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar derivatives.
• The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the net present value of the
estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.
• The fair value of interest rate swap option (swaption) contracts is determined using
observable volatility, yield curve and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance
sheet date, resulting in a swaption premium. Options are typically valued by
applying the Black-Scholes model.
• The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward
exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back
to net present value.
• The fair value of foreign exchange option contracts is determined using observable
forward exchange rates, volatility, yield curves and time-to-maturity parameters at
the balance sheet date, resulting in an option premium. Options are typically valued
by applying the Black-Scholes model.
The carrying value less impairment provision of receivables and payables are
assumed to approximate their fair values. The group estimates the fair value of
financial liabilities for disclosure purposes by discounting the future contractual
cash flows at current market interest rates available to the group for similar financial
derivatives.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted
market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted
prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry
group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and
regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market
price used for financial assets held by the group is the current close price. These
instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 at the end of 2022
are liquid investment grade bonds and listed equities (analogous for 2021).
The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market (over-the-
counter contracts) are based on third party quotes (Mark-to-Market). These quotes
use observable market rates for price discovery. The different techniques typically
applied by financial counterparties (banks) were described above. These instruments
- FX and IR derivatives - are included in level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the
derivatives is in level 3.

Note 22 Contingencies
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 72
FINANCIAL REPORTING PRINCIPLES
The group and the parent company make provisions for legal claims when a legal
or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events, it is more likely than
not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the
amount can be estimated with a sufficient degree of reliability. Provisions are not
made for future operating losses.
The size and global activities of the group dictate that companies in the group will be
involved from time to time in disputes and legal actions.
The group is not aware of any financial risk associated with disputes and legal actions
which are not largely covered through insurance arrangements. Nevertheless,
any such disputes/actions which might exist are of such a nature that they will not

Alternative performance measures
This section describes non-GAAP financial alternative performance measures (APM)
that may be used in the quarterly and annual reports and related presentations.
The following measures are not defined nor specified in the applicable financial
reporting framework of IFRS. They may be considered as non-GAAP financial
measures that may include or exclude amounts that are calculated and presented
according to the IFRS. These APMs are intended to enhance comparability of the
results, balance sheet and cash flows from period to period and it is the Company’s
experience that these are frequently used by investors, analysts and other parties.
Internally, these APMs are used by the management to measure performance on a
regular basis. The APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of
performance in accordance with IFRS.
EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a per cent of of Total income.
EBITDA margin adjusted is defined as EBITDA adjusted as a per cent of Total
income, with Total income also adjusted for the same income elements as those
which have been adjusted for in EBITDA adjusted.
EBIT is defined as Total income (Operating revenue and gain/(loss) on sale of assets)
less Operating expenses, Other gain/loss and depreciation and amortization. EBIT
is used as a measure of operational profitability excluding the effects of how the
operations were financed, taxed and excluding foreign exchange gains & losses.
EBIT adjusted, EBIT margin and EBIT margin adjusted will, if used, be prepared in
the same manner as described under EBITDA.
EBITDA is defined as Total income (Operating revenue and gain/(loss) on sale of
assets) adjusted for Operating expenses. EBITDA is used as an additional measure of
operational profitability, excluding the impact from financial items, taxes, depreciation
and amortization.
Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) is defined as total interest bearing debt (Non-
current interest-bearing debt and Current interest-bearing debt) less Cash and cash
equivalenets and Current financial investments.
Equity ratio is defined as Total equity as a percent of Total assets.
EBITDA adjusted is defined as EBITDA excluding certain income and/or cost items
which are not regarded as part of the underlying operational performance for the
period. The Company do not report EBITDA adjusted on a regular basis, but may use
it on a case by case basis to better explain operational performance.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of theses consolidated financial statements to the extent they are not
disclosed separately in the other notes in the consolidated financial statements or
in the notes of the financial statements of the parent company. Accounting policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for
the following:
• certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments),
• defined benefit pension plans – plan assets measured at fair value.
New and amended standards adopted by the group
The following are new or amended to standards and interpretations have been issued
and become effective during the current period:
No new standards or amendments were implemented for the first time in the annual
reporting period commencing 1 January 2022. There was no impact on the amounts
recognised in prior periods and no expected significant effect on the current or
future periods.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured
using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates
(‘the functional currency’). The exceptions are investments activity in Malta, where
Australian dollar (AUD) is the functional currency and the parent company Wilhelmsen
Maritime Services (WMS AS) has US dollar (USD). The consolidated financial
statements are presented in USD, rounded off to the nearest whole million.
The presentation currency of the separate statements of the parent is NOK which
is also its functional currency. The accounts are rounded off to the nearest whole
thousand.
The income statements and balance sheets for group companies with a functional
currency which differs from the presentation currency (USD) are translated as follows:
• the balance sheet is translated at the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date
• income and expense items are translated at a rate that is representative as
an average exchange rate for the period, unless the exchange rates fluctuate
significantly for that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions are used
• the translation difference is recognised in other comprehensive income and split
between controlling and non-controlling interests
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are
not mandatory for 31 December 2022 reporting periods and have not been early
adopted by the group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact
on the entity in the current or future reporting periods.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities related to acquisition
of entities which have a functional currency other than USD are attributed to the
acquired entity’s functional currency and translated at the exchange rate prevailing
on the balance sheet date.
Group — Accounts and notesCont. note 24 General accounting principles
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 73
Translations and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using
the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation
of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end
exchange rates, are generally recognised in income statement. They are deferred
in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment
hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented on a net basis in the income
statement, within finance costs.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as
part of the fair value gain or loss.
For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such
as equities held at fair value through income statement are recognised in income
statement as part of the fair value gain or loss, and translation differences on
non-monetary assets such as equities classified as at fair value through other
comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Group companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the
currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different
from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
• assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing
rate at the date of that balance sheet
• income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of
comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not
a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the
transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates
of the transactions), and
• all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net
investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments
designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive
income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net
investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit
or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation
are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the
closing rate.
BUSINESS COMBINATION
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business
combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition comprises the:
• fair value of the asset transferred
• liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
• equity interests issued by the group
• fair value of any assets or liability resulting from a contingent consideration
arrangement, and
• fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a
business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair
values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest
in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or
at non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net
identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
GOODWILL IS RECOGNISED AS THE EXCESS OF THE;
• consideration transferred,
• amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
• acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interests in the acquired entity
over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.
If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the
business acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain
purchase.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts
classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with
changes in fair value recognised in the income statement.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value
of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquire is remeasured to fair
value at the acquisition date. Any gain or losses arising from such remeasurement are
recognised in income statement.
Note 25 Events after the balance sheet date
In January 2023 Wilhelmsen Ships Service acquired Navadan A/S, a Danish company
within tank and cargo hold cleaning. Navadan will be a part of the segment Maritime
Services. A preliminary purchase price allocation is not prepared.
No other material events occurred between the balance sheet date and the date
when the accounts were presented which provide new information about conditions
prevailing on the balance sheet date.

Description of the pension scheme
The company’s defined contribution pension schemes for Norwegian employees are
with financial institute, similar solutions with different investment funds.
The company has supplementary pension, a contribution plan for all Norwegian
employees with salaries exceeding 12 times the Norwegian National Insurance base
amount (G). The contribution plan replaced the company obligations mainly financed
from operation. In addition the company has agreements on early retirement. This
obligations are mainly financed from operations. The company has obligation towards
one employee in the company’s senior executive management. The obligation is
mainly covered via group annuity policies in Storebrand.
Pension costs and obligations includes payroll taxes. No provision has been made for
payroll tax in pension plans where the plan assets exceed the plan obligations.
The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of the remaining defined
benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the
end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit
obligations are calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit
credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality
corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will
be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related
pension obligation.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in
actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive
income in the period in which they arise.

pay regulations. Anticipated regulation of pensions is determined by the difference
between return on assets and the hurdle rate.

mortality tariff. The disability tariff is based on the KU table.

The parent company had in addition undrawn revolving facilities at 31 December
2022. The parent company’s financing arrangement provides for customary financial

FINANCIAL RISK
See note 13 to the parent accounts and note 19 to the group accounts for further
information on financial risk, and note 18 to the group accounts concerning the fair
value of interest-bearing debt.
Note 13 Financial risk
CREDIT RISK
Guarantees
The group’s policy is that the parent company will not provide any financial
guarantees.
Cash and bank deposits
The parent’s exposure to credit risk on cash and bank deposits is considered to be
very limited as the parent maintain banking relationships with a selection of banks
with strong credit ratings.
LIQUIDITY RISK
The parent’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure sufficient liquidity to meet its
liabilities, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable
losses or risking damage to the parent and group’s reputation.
The parent’s liquidity risk is considered to be low in the sense that it holds significant
liquid assets in addition to undrawn credit facilities.
FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION
The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is based on quoted
market prices on the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments not
traded in an active market (over-the-counter contracts) are based on third party
quotes. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the
estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.
The fair value of interest rate swap option (swaption) contracts is determined using
observable yield curve, volatility and time-to-maturity parameters at the balance
sheet date, resulting in a swaption premium. The fair value of forward foreign
exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance
sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.
The fair value of foreign exchange option contracts is determined using observable
forward exchange rates, volatility, yield curves and time-to-maturity parameters at
the balance sheet date, resulting in an option premium.
The carrying value less impairment provision of receivables and payables are
assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for
disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows
at the current market interest rate that is available to the company for similar financial
instruments.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on closing
prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices
are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group,
pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly
occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques use observable market
data where available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. These
instruments are included in level 2. Instruments included in level 2 are FX and IR
derivatives.
The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market is determined
If one or more of significant valuation inputs is not based on observable market data,
the instruments are included in level 3.

Innovation
Yes, even taking out the trash can be improved. Port Services’
waste management dashboard does just that, helping owners and
operators make better decisions on when, how and where vessel
waste should be discharged. A simple, but smart innovation, in 2022
we continued to push our industry’s boundaries. Continuing to develop
the digital supply chain for spare parts through on-demand additive
manufacturing (AM), collaborating with Skyports on our Agency by Air
drone delivery concept and unlocking the true potential of vessel data
as a service through Raa Labs are just a handful of examples.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA, which comprise:
•
•
the financial statements of the parent company Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA (the
Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, the income
statement, comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement
for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies, and
the consolidated financial statements of Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA and its subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, the income
statement, comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and cash flow
statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary
of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion
•
•
•
the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at
31 December 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with simplified application of international accounting standards according to
section 3-9 of the Norwegian Accounting Act, and
the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the
Group as at 31 December 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
EU.
Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Audit Committee.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the
Group as required by relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards
Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including
International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit
Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.

Auditor’s report
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 99
We have been the auditor of the Company for 13 years from the election by the general meeting of the
shareholders on 25 February 2010 for the accounting year 2010.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Group’s business activities are largely unchanged compared to last year. We have not identified
regulatory changes, transactions or other event that qualified as new Key Audit Matters for our audit of
the 2022 financial statements. Furthermore, Revenue from contracts with customers has the same
characteristics and risks as in the prior year, and therefore continues to be an area of focus this year.
Key Audit Matters
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Revenue from contracts with customers
This has been an area of focus for the
audit due to the amounts involved.
Revenue from contracts with customers in
the Maritime Services and New Energy
segments was USD 627 million and USD
310 million respectively for the year ended
December 31, 2022.
Further, there is an inherent risk of errors
when a business handles multiple revenue
streams, where each of them consists of
large numbers of transactions that adds
up to material amounts. The inherent risk
of errors increases from the complexity
that sometimes accompanies the required
application of management judgement,
particularly in determining the transaction
price and deciding when performance
obligations are satisfied.
We refer to note 3 Revenue, where
management explain the various revenue
streams and how they are accounted for
under IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts
with customers and IFRS 16 - Leases.
Here, management also explains the
different performance obligations,
measurement of the transaction price and
whether income should be recognized
net or gross.
We obtained and studied managements’ accounting
policy to assess it against relevant IFRSs. We discussed
with management how the specific requirements of the
standards, in particular IFRS 15 – Revenue from
contracts with customers, were met. We found that we
were able to agree with management about their
accounting policies and that their assessments were
reasonable.
To assess the accuracy of recorded revenues, we tested,
on a sample basis, each revenue stream towards
information such as contract terms, invoices and bank
payments. We found that the revenue was recorded
accurate and in accordance with underlying
documentation.
Further, to assess the determined transaction prices, we
obtained an understanding of the price for services and
products, including discounts and customer bonus
through interviews with management, walkthroughs and
review of process descriptions. In addition, we obtained
and read a selection of customer contracts to understand
whether the determined prices were in accordance with
the contract terms. We found no significant deviations in
management's assessments.
Through interviews with management and review of a
selection of sales documentation such as customer
contracts and invoices, we obtained an understanding of
assumptions applied by management in deciding when
performance obligations were satisfied. We concluded
that management’s assumptions were reasonable.
We compared the related disclosures in note 3 to the
financial statements for the Group to the requirements of
2 / 5
Parent — Accounts and notes
Auditor’s report
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 100
the applicable financial reporting framework, IFRS. We
found that the disclosure appropriately explained the
revenue from contracts with customers and lease
revenue.
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information
in the Board of Directors’ report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The
other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover
the information in the Board of Directors’ report nor the other information accompanying the financial
statements.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of
Directors’ report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The purpose is to
consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of Directors’ report and the other
information accompanying the financial statements and the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors’ report and the other information
accompanying the financial statements otherwise appear to be materially misstated. We are required
to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors’ report or the other information
accompanying the financial statements. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors’ report
•
•
is consistent with the financial statements and
contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.
Our opinion on the Board of Director’s report applies correspondingly to the statements on Corporate
Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with simplified application of international accounting standards according to the
Norwegian Accounting Act section 3-9, and for the preparation and true and fair view of the
consolidated financial statements of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate,
3 / 5
Parent — Accounts and notes
Auditor’s report
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA Annual Report 2022 — Page 101
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. We design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and the Group's internal control.
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
•
conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and the
Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to
continue as a going concern.
• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
• obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group
audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a
4 / 5
Parent — Accounts and notes
Auditor’s report

matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Report on Compliance with Requirement on European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)
Opinion
As part of the audit of the financial statements of Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA, we have performed
an assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
included in the annual report, with the file name Wilhelmsen Holding-2022-12-13-en, have been
prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements of the Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) and
regulation pursuant to Section 5-5 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, which includes
requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format, and iXBRL tagging of
the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements, included in the annual report, have been prepared, in all
material respects, in compliance with the ESEF regulation.
Management’s Responsibilities
Management is responsible for the preparation of the annual report in compliance with the ESEF
regulation. This responsibility comprises an adequate process and such internal control as
management determines is necessary.
Auditor’s Responsibilities
