Third quarter report 2012
Announcement no. 35 / 7 November 2012 Third quarter report 2012 Page 1 of 23
TORM recognized a loss before tax of USD 63 million in the third quarter of 2012 before special items of USD -15 million. “The financial results in the third quarter of 2012 were again negatively affected by the challenging market conditions as well as TORM’s financial situation.
Looking forward, the recently completed restructuring agreement will enable TORM to become cash flow positive even at the current rate levels,” says CEO Jacob Meldgaard.
• The financial results in the third quarter of 2012 continued to be adversely affected by TORM’s financial situation. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2012 was a loss of USD 11 million including positive mark-tomarket non-cash adjustments of USD 6 million, compared to an EBITDA loss of USD 17 million in the third quarter of 2011. In addition, financial expenses for the third quarter of 2012 included USD 15 million in restructuring costs. The result before tax for the third quarter of 2012 was a loss of USD 78 million, compared to a loss of USD 70 million in the same period of 2011.
• The product tanker freight rates were in the third quarter of 2012 at seasonally low levels. In the West, MR freight rates were negatively affected by planned refinery maintenance and limited transatlantic arbitrage. In the East, the freight rates for LR2 and LR1 vessels were supported by e.g. jet fuel cargoes from the Arabian Gulf to Brazil and the naphtha trade in general. The LR1 and LR2 freight rates also benefited from distillate arbitrage from the Middle East to the West. The MR freight rates in the East were positively impacted by imbalances within the Asia-Pacific region.
• The freight rates in all bulk segments suffered in the third quarter of 2012 as the US grain harvest was affected by drought giving the lowest yield in six years. The Pacific spot market struggled as expected due to slower Indian activity during the monsoon season and the partly enforced commodity export ban by the Indonesian authorities.
• As stated in announcement no. 31 dated 2 October 2012, TORM has signed a Restructuring Agreement with its banks and time charter partners that secures the Company deferral of bank debt, new liquidity and substantial savings from the restructured time charter book. As stated in announcements no. 32 and 33 dated 5 November 2012, TORM has finalized the technical completion of the restructuring including the planned changes to the share capital.
• TORM’s cost program has led to a reduction of administration costs to USD 15 million in the third quarter of 2012, equivalent to a reduction of 11% compared to the same period of 2011 and 34% compared to 2008.
• The book value of the fleet excluding financial lease vessels as of 30 September 2012 was USD 2,167 million. Based on broker valuations, TORM’s fleet excluding financial lease vessels had a market value of USD 1,316 million as of 30 September 2012. TORM estimates the fleet's total long-term earning potential each quarter based on future discounted cash flows, in accordance with IFRS requirements. The estimated value for the fleet as at 30 September 2012 supports the book value.
• Net interest-bearing debt amounted to USD 1,858 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to USD 1,852 million as at 30 June 2012.
• Cash totaled USD 13 million at the end of the third quarter of 2012 and the Company had no available credit lines. TORM has no order book and therefore no CAPEX related hereto. As at 6 November 2012 the cash and available credit lines totaled USD 65 million as planned.
• Book equity amounted to USD 358 million as at 30 September 2012, equivalent to USD 5.2 per share (excluding treasury shares), giving TORM an equity ratio of 14%.
• By 30 September 2012, TORM had covered 15% of the remaining tanker earning days in 2012 at USD/day 13,944 and 6% of the earning days in 2013 at USD/day 15,063. 103% of the remaining bulk earning days in 2012 are covered at USD/day 10,694 and 57% of the 2013 earning days at USD/day 14,621.
• TORM maintains a forecasted loss before tax of USD 350-380 million for 2012 excluding accounting effects from the execution of the restructuring, further vessel sales and potential impairment charges. Due to the complexity, TORM has asked the Danish Securities Council for a ruling on the accounting effects of the restructuring.

Outlook and coverage
TORM forecasts a loss before tax of USD 350-380 million for the financial year 2012 excluding accounting effects
from the execution of the restructuring, further vessel sales and potential impairment charges. The guidance
includes special items of USD -107 million derived from impairment losses of USD 42 million related to FR8 and
USD 65 million in restructuring costs – primarily fees to advisors to the Company’s creditors and TORM. Due to
the complexity, TORM has asked the Danish Securities Council for a ruling on the accounting effects of the
restructuring.
With 6,046 earning days for 2012 open as at 30 September 2012, a change of USD/day of 1,000 in freight rates
will currently impact the profit before tax by approx. USD 6 million.
As at 30 September 2012, TORM had covered 15% of the remaining earning days in 2012 in the Tanker Division
at USD/day 13,944 and 103% of the remaining earning days in the Bulk Division at USD/day 10,694. The table
below shows the figures for the period from 1 October to 31 December 2012. 2013 and 2014 are full year figures.

Announcement no. 35 / 7 November 2012 Third quarter report 2012 5 of 23
Tanker Division
The product tanker freight rates were in the third quarter of 2012 at seasonally low levels as expected. The freight
markets did not improve mainly due to mixed macroeconomic growth signals and a supply overhang of tonnage.
In the West, the third quarter of 2012 was impacted by planned refinery maintenance in Europe, reducing demand
for gasoline from Europe to the USA. Likewise the arbitrage for diesel from the US Gulf to Europe only saw limited
activity and the tropical storm Isaac hampered product supply. The combination of these factors affected the MR
freight rates negatively. The LR2 market was positively affected by the naphtha arbitrage from the West to the
East as a result of Indian refinery maintenance closures.
In the East, the freight rates for LR2 and LR1 vessels were supported by e.g. jet fuel cargoes from the Arabian
Gulf to Brazil and the naphtha trade in general. In addition, the European refinery closures widened the distillate
arbitrage from the Middle East to the West and positively impacted the LR1 and LR2 freight rates. The MR freight
rates were positively impacted by imbalances within the Asia-Pacific region, exacerbated by refinery issues,
boosting intra-regional product flows. The closure of the Richmond refinery in California, USA, and a subsequent
shortage of clean products gave way for a series of MR transpacific fixtures.
The global product tanker fleet grew by less than 1% in the third quarter of 2012 (source: SSY).
The Tanker Division’s results were to a significant degree adversely affected by TORM’s financial situation.
However, the Company outperformed spot benchmarks across all segments in the third quarter of 2012. TORM
achieved LR2 spot rates of USD/day 13,581 in the third quarter of 2012, which was 25% higher than in the third
quarter last year. The LR1 spot rates were at USD/day 13,512, up by 37% year-on-year, whereas TORM’s largest
segment (MR) was at USD/day 10,612, down by 10% year-on-year. The Handysize spot rates were at USD/day
11,263, up by 6% year-on-year.
The Tanker Division’s operating loss for the third quarter of 2012 was USD 42 million, compared to a loss of USD
34 million in the same period of 2011. Mark-to-market effects were positive with USD 1 million.

Bulk Division
The freight rates in all bulk segments suffered in the third quarter of 2012 as the US grain harvest was affected by
drought giving the lowest yield in six years. This was combined with the continued macroeconomic crisis including
e.g. the European debt issues as well as a supply overhang of tonnage.
In the Atlantic spot market, the freight rates for Panamax dropped to USD/day 11-12,000 on front haul voyages
and to USD/day 2-3,000 on round voyages. The main reasons were an oversupply of tonnage ballasting inbound,
the weak US grain season and logistical disruptions from the tropical storm Isaac. The Handymax segment was
also affected by the lack of grain activity and the freight rates dropped by USD/day 6-7,000 on front haul voyages
to USD/day 12-13,000.
The Pacific spot market struggled as expected due to the slower Indian activity in the monsoon season and the
partly enforced commodity export ban by the Indonesian authorities. The freight rates for Panamax and
Handymax dropped to USD/day 3-4,000 on round voyages.
The number of newbuilding deliveries in the third quarter of 2012 declined compared to the first two quarters of
2012 with 41 Capesize, 81 Panamax and 62 Handymax vessels being delivered (source: SSY).
TORM continued to experience a continued high number of waiting days in the third quarter of 2012 due to the
adverse effects of the Company’s financial situation. TORM’s Panamax time charter equivalent (TCE) earnings in
the third quarter of 2012 were USD/day 7,793 or 36% below the same period in 2011. The realized TCE earnings
for Handymax during the third quarter of 2012 were USD/day 9,051, which is 28% lower than in the same period
of 2011.
The Bulk Division’s operating loss for the third quarter of 2012 was USD 4 million, compared to a loss of USD 16
million in the same period of 2011. Unrealized non-cash mark-to-market effects were positive with USD 4 million.

Fleet development
No sale or purchase of vessels was concluded in the third quarter of 2012, and TORM did not order any new
vessels in the third quarter of 2012. TORM’s owned fleet consists of 66 product tankers and two dry bulk vessels.
TORM does not have any newbuildings on order. At the end of the third quarter of 2012, outstanding CAPEX
relating to the order book was thus zero, compared to USD 167 million in the same period of 2011.
TORM’s operated fleet as at 30 September 2012 is shown in the table below. In addition to the 68 owned vessels,
TORM had chartered-in 17 product tankers and nine bulk vessels on longer time charter contracts (minimum one
year contracts) and eight bulk vessels on shorter time charter contracts (less than one year contracts). Another 20
product tankers were either in pool or under commercial management with TORM.

Notes on the financial reporting
Accounting policies
The interim report for the period 1 January – 30 September 2012 is presented in accordance with
IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure
requirements for interim reports of listed companies. The interim report has been prepared using
the accounting policies as for the Annual Report for 2011. The accounting policies are described in
more detail in the Annual Report for 2011. As from 1 January 2012, TORM has implemented the
amendment to IFRS 7 regarding disclosures about transfer of financial assets. The amended
standard has not affected the recognition and measurement in TORM's interim report for the first
nine months of 2012. The interim report of the third quarter of 2012 is unaudited, in line with the
normal practice.
Income statement
The gross profit for the third quarter of 2012 was USD 3 million, compared to USD 2 million for the
corresponding period in 2011.
The third quarter of 2012 was not impacted by sale of vessels, as also was the case for the third
quarter of 2011. Administrative costs in the third quarter of 2012 were USD 15 million, compared to
USD 17 million in the third quarter of 2011, as a result of the Company’s cost program.
The result before depreciation (EBITDA) for the third quarter of 2012 was a loss of USD 11 million,
compared to a loss of USD 17 million for the corresponding period of 2011.
Depreciation in the third quarter of 2012 was USD 35 million, USD 1 million lower than in the third
quarter of 2011. This decrease was due to fewer vessels.
The primary operating result for the third quarter of 2012 was a loss of USD 46 million, compared to
a loss of USD 53 million in the same quarter of 2011.
The third quarter of 2012 was positively impacted by mark-to-market non-cash adjustments of USD
6 million in total: Positive USD 4 million in connection with FFA/bunker derivatives and a positive net
effect from other financial derivatives amounting to USD 2 million. The third quarter of 2011 had
negative mark-to-market non-cash adjustments of USD 5 million.
Financial expenses of USD 33 million include USD 15 million in restructuring costs – primarily fees
to advisors to the Company’s creditors and TORM.
The result after tax was a loss of USD 79 million in the third quarter of 2012, as against a loss of
USD 70 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Assets
Total assets were down from USD 2,779 million as at 31 December 2011 to USD 2,507 million as at
30 September 2012. The book value of the fleet excluding financial lease vessels as of 30
September 2012 was USD 2,167 million. Based on broker valuations, TORM’s fleet excluding
financial lease vessels had a market value of USD 1,316 million as of 30 September 2012. TORM
estimates the fleet's total long-term earning potential each quarter based on future discounted cash
flows in accordance with IFRS requirements. The estimated value for the fleet as at 30 September
2012 supports the book value. During third quarter of 2012, it was decided to initiate wind down of
the jointly controlled entity, FR8. The book value of TORM’s 50% share in FR8 is USD 0 million.
Debt
Net interest-bearing debt was USD 1,858 million as at 30 September 2012, compared to USD 1,852
million as at 30 June 2012. As at 30 September 2012, TORM was in breach of its financial
covenants under the existing loan agreements. As at 30 September 2012, TORM did not have a
standstill agreement with the bank group and therefore the Company no longer had the right to
defer payments until such time as the final Restructuring Agreement had been entered into. On 5
Announcement no. 35 / 7 November 2012 Third quarter report 2012 9 of 23
November 2012 TORM finalized the technical completion of its restructuring after which the bank
debt will be reclassified as non-current liabilities.
Equity
Equity declined in the third quarter of 2012 from USD 435 million as at 30 June 2012 to USD 358
million as at 30 September 2012 primarily due to the loss during the period. Equity as a percentage
of total assets was 14% as at 30 September 2012, compared to 23% as at 31 December 2011.
TORM held 3,230,432 treasury shares as at 30 September 2012, equivalent to 4.4% of the
Company's share capital. This is the same level as of 30 June 2012. Following the restructuring on
5 November 2012, TORM today holds 6,970,272 treasury shares, equivalent to 1.0% of the
Company’s share capital.
Liquidity
TORM had cash of USD 13 million at the end of the third quarter of 2012 and no credit lines
available. TORM has no order book and therefore no CAPEX related hereto. As at 6 November
2012 and following the restructuring, the cash and available credit lines totaled USD 65 million as
planned.
Post balance sheet events
As stated in announcement no. 31 dated 2 October 2012, TORM has signed a Restructuring Agreement with its
banks and time charter partners that secures the Company deferral of bank debt, new liquidity and substantial
savings from the restructured time charter book.
As stated in announcements no. 32 and 33 dated 5 November 2012, TORM has finalized the technical completion
of the restructuring with its banks and time charter partners. In connection with the restructuring, the Board of
Directors in TORM A/S completed the decrease of TORM’s share capital decided at the Annual General Meeting
held on 23 April 2012. The nominal amount per share was decreased from DKK 5.00 to DKK 0.01 by transfer of
the reduction amount to a special reserve fund. Subsequently, the Board of Directors decided to exercise the
authorization in article 2.14 of the Articles of Association and increase the share capital of TORM A/S by issuing
665.2 million new shares by conversion of debt of totally DKK 1.174.100.581 (approximately USD 200 million) to
TORM’s banks and time charter partners or their assignees. The new shares issued correspond to 90% of
TORM’s registered share capital and votes registered with the Danish Business Authority.
As stated in announcement no. 34 dated 5 November 2012, TORM has received notification that the following
shareholders now hold more than 5% of the share capital in the Company: HSH Nordbank AG, Danske Bank,
Nordea Bank Danmark A/S, Deutsche Bank AG and DBS Bank Ltd.

Safe Harbor statements as to the future
Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to
future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance,
and underlying assumptions and statements other than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this release are based
upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of
historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although TORM believes that these
assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which
are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, TORM cannot guarantee that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations,
beliefs or projections.
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward- looking statements include
the strength of the world economy and currencies, changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand for “tonne miles” of oil
carried by oil tankers, the effect of changes in OPEC’s petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, changes in
demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled dry-docking, changes in TORM’s operating expenses, including
bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, changes in the regulation of shipping operations, including requirements for double hull tankers or
actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential
disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.
Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by TORM with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including the TORM
Annual Report on Form 20-F and its reports on Form 6-K. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current evaluation, and TORM
is only under an obligation to update and change the listed expectations to the extent required by law.

Notes
Note 1 - Impairment test
As at 30 September 2012, Management performed a review of the recoverable amount of the assets by assessing the
recoverable amount for the significant assets within the Tanker Division, the Bulk Division and the investment in 50% of FR8.
Based on the review, Management concluded that:
• Assets within the Tanker Division were not further impaired as of 30 September 2012 as the value in use exceeds the
carrying amount
• Assets within the Bulk Division were not impaired as the fair value less costs to sell exceeded the carrying amount
• To maintain the impairment of the investment in FR8 of USD 42 million to zero recognized in Q2 2012 in addition to the
impairment losses recognized in previous years
Tanker Division
The methodology used for calculating the value in use is unchanged compared to the Annual Report for 2011 and accordingly
the freight rate estimates in the period 2012 to 2015 are based on the Company's business plans, which in 2014 and 2015
assume a gradual increase towards the 10-year historic average spot freight rate. The freight rates from 2016 are based on the
10-year historic average spot freight rates from Clarksons adjusted by the inflation rate.
The WACC of 8.0% (30 September 2011: 8.2%) is unchanged compared to 31 December 2011.
The 10-year historic average spot freight rates as of 30 September 2012 are as follows:
• LR2 USD/day 26,709 (30 September 2011: USD/day 27,811)
• LR1 USD/day 22,493 (30 September 2011: USD/day 23,293)
• MR USD/day 19,892 (30 September 2011: USD/day 20,227)
Management believes that these major assumptions are reasonable.
The calculation of value in use is very sensitive to changes in the key assumptions which are considered to be related to the
future development in freight rates, the WACC applied as discounting factor in the calculations and the development in
operating expenses. The sensitivities have been assessed as follows, all other things being equal:
• A decrease in the tanker freight rates of USD/day 500 would result in a further impairment of USD 135 million for the Tanker
Division
• An increase of the WACC of 1.0% would result in a further impairment of USD 181 million for the Tanker Division
• An increase of the operating expenses of 5.0% would result in a further impairment of USD 90 million for the Tanker Division
In case the market conditions do not improve in order to sustain the current 10-year historic average spot freight rates, the
Company may have to make further impairments of the assets.
It should be emphasized that in a forced sale the recoverable amount of the vessels would be significantly lower than the
carrying amount under a going concern assumption.
Based on broker valuations, TORM’s fleet excluding financial lease vessels had a market value of USD 1,316 million as of 30
September 2012.

As at 30 September 2012, TORM’s equity ratio of 14.3% and cash at bank of USD 12.5 million resulted in a breach of its financial covenants under
the existing loan agreements. As at 30 September 2012, TORM therefore does not have an unconditional right to defer payments on the loans for
more than 12 months and the mortgage debt and bank loans are in principle payable on demand. Accordingly the mortgage debt and bank loans
are classified as current liabilities in the balance sheet.

Note 6 - Post balance sheet date events
As stated in announcement no. 31 dated 2 October 2012, TORM has signed a Restructuring Agreement with its banks and
time charter partners that secures the Company deferral of bank debt, new liquidity and substantial savings from the
restructured time charter book. The highlights of the restructuring include:
•Current shareholders retain 10.0% ownership, compared to 7.5% communicated earlier
•USD 100 million in new working capital facility available until 30 September 2014
•Maturities for the existing bank debt of USD 1.8 billion are extended until 31 December 2016 with new uniform
covenants and terms and divided into three tranches
•Deferral of installments on the entire bank debt until 30 September 2014 and reduced repayments until 31 December
2016
•Interest on existing debt is only paid if TORM has sufficient liquidity until at least 30 June 2014 with potential extension
to 30 September 2014
•Mark-to-market savings estimated at approximately USD 270 million from amended time charter agreements
•TORM expects to be cash flow positive even at the current rate levels
•As part of the restructuring, certain specific option rights have been agreed that may result in a sales process for up to
22 vessels and repayment of the related debt.
As stated in announcements no. 32 and 33 dated 5 November 2012, TORM has finalized the technical completion of the
restructuring with its banks and time charter partners. In connection with the restructuring, the Board of Directors in TORM
A/S completed the decrease of TORM’s share capital decided at the Annual General Meeting held on 23 April 2012. The
nominal amount per share was decreased from DKK 5.00 to DKK 0.01 by transfer of the reduction amount to a special
reserve fund. Subsequently, the Board of Directors decided to exercise the authorization in article 2.14 of the Articles of
Association and increase the share capital of TORM A/S by issuing 665.2 million new shares by conversion of debt of
totally DKK 1.174.100.581 (approx. USD 200 million) to TORM’s banks and time charter partners or their assignees. The
new shares issued correspond to 90% of TORM’s registered share capital and votes registered with the Danish Business
Authority.
The Company’s group of banks has through the implementation of the restructuring aligned key terms and conditions and
financial covenants across all existing debt facilities, and all maturities on existing credit facilities have been adjusted to 31
December 2016. Interest on the existing debt will only be paid if the Company has sufficient liquidity, and otherwise the
remainder will be rolled up until at least 30 June 2014 with potential extension until 30 September 2014. On average the
interest margin is increased to approximately 240 basis points across the existing bank debt. The Company will pay interest
on the new working capital facility until 30 September 2014.
The new financing agreements provide for a deferral of installment on the existing bank debt until 30 September 2014, in
which period rescheduled principal amortizations will only fall due if the Company has sufficient liquidity. Provided that the
Company generates sufficient cash, certain cash sweep mechanisms will apply. Annualized minimum amortizations of USD
100 million will commence with effect from 30 September 2014 until 31 December 2016. If vessels are sold, the related
debt will fall due. New financial covenants apply uniformly across the bank debt facilities.
If the difficult conditions in the tanker and bulk markets during 2012 will continue to prevail for a longer period, the
Company anticipates to be in breach with the new financial covenants during the course of 2013. However, in market
conditions where the most current pick-up in product tanker freight rates will prove sustainable over the coming years, the
Company will be in compliance with its financial covenants and be able to service interest and installment obligations on
the bank debt as they become due.
With effect from the restructuring dated 5 November 2012, TORM’s future time charter liabilities as per the original charter
parties are reduced by approx. USD 590 million from USD 818 million to USD 228 million by aligning rates to current
market level or by redelivering time charter vessels.
As stated in announcement no. 34 dated 5 November 2012, TORM has received notification that the following shareholders
now hold more than 5% of the share capital in the Company: HSH Nordbank AG, Danske Bank, Nordea Bank Danmark
A/S, Deutsche Bank AG, and DBS Bank Ltd.
Note 7 - Accounting policies
The interim report for the period 1 January – 30 September 2012 is presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial
Reporting" as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies. The
interim report has been prepared using the accounting policies as for the Annual Report for 2011. The accounting policies
are described in more detail in the Annual Report for 2011. As from 1 January 2012, TORM has implemented the
amendment to IFRS 7 regarding disclosures about transfer of financial assets. The amended standard has not affected the
recognition and measurement in TORM's interim report for the first nine months of 2012. The interim report of the third
quarter of 2012 is unaudited, in line with the normal practice.
