Second quarter 2014 highlights

  * Marine fuel transaction volume rose 7% to 7.2 million tonnes (Q2 2013: 6.7
    million tonnes), mainly due to growth in Asia and Americas. H1 2014 volume
    was 14.9 million tonnes, up 11% from H1 2013. Volume growth in the second
    quarter was slightly below expectations.

  * Gross profit rose 37% to USD 49.2 million (Q2 2013: USD 36.1 million). Q2
    2014 gross profit was not impacted by unrealised gain or losses on fair
    value adjustments of risk management derivatives linked to inventory and
    underlying marine fuel transactions. H1 2014 gross profit was USD 105.9
    million, up 12% from H1 2013.

  * Gross profit per tonne rose to 6.8 USD (Q2 2013: USD 5.4 per tonne). H1
    2014 gross profit per tonne was USD 7.1 against 7.0 in H1 2013. Including
    interest income from trade credit, gross profit per tonne was USD 7.5 in Q2
    2014 and 7.7 in H1 2014.

  * Profit before tax (EBT) before special items almost tripled to USD 17.8
    million (Q2 2013: USD 6.6 million). H1 2014 EBT before special items was USD
    42.8 million, up 43% from H1 2013.

  * Q2 2014 special items comprise one-off costs of approx. USD 1 million
    related to the listing of OW Bunker on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen in March 2014,
    bringing total IPO-related one-off cost to USD 11.1 in H1 2014. No further
    IPO-related one-off costs are expected.

  * EBT before special items conversion ratio increased to 36% (Q2 2013: 18%).
    H1 2014 EBT before special items conversion rate rose to 40% from 32% in H1
    2013, reflecting lower external costs.

  * Profit for the period before special items and tax effect hereof was USD
    14.1 million (Q2 2013: USD 5.7 million). H1 2014 profit for the period
    before special items and tax effect hereof rose 43% to USD 33.4 million.

  * Return on equity before special items and tax effect hereof was 23% (Q1
    2013: 10%). H1 2014 return on equity before special items and tax effect
    hereof was 28%, up from 20% in H1 2013.

  * 2014 full-year outlook maintained as previously announced in conjunction
    with the IPO.
