Management review I Highlights Q1 2023
Management review
As expected, the trends observed in Q4 2022 continued in Q1 2023, with normalisation in Ocean and Air being accentuated by a strong destocking affecting volumes across all segments. Results continued to come off their Q3 2022 peak with a decrease in revenue year-over-year of 26% to USD 14.2bn (USD 19.3bn), an EBITDA of USD 4.0bn (USD 9.1bn) and an EBIT of USD 2.3bn (USD 7.3bn).
A total distribution of cash to shareholders of USD 10.1bn took place during Q1 2023 through dividends paid of USD 9.4bn and share buy-backs of USD 718m.
Highlights Q1 2023
For A.P. Moller - Maersk, Q1 was solidly in line with expectations. The Ocean contract negotiation season is proceeding in line with expectations, and A.P. Moller - Maersk is pleased to see that its customers continue to see value in having a close contractual relationship with the Group. Given current headwinds, the Group has proactively managed costs and aims to continue this effort in coming quarters.
Guidance for 2023 continues to be based on the expectation of a muted 2023 global GDP growth and that volume declines will stabilise by the end of H1, leading to a more balanced demand environment. In this normalisation path, Q1 is expected to be the best quarter of the financial year.
Free cash flow of USD 4.2bn (USD 6.0bn) declined due to decreased cash flow from operating activities and higher capital leases, slightly offset by higher financial income and lower capital expenditures.
A.P. Moller - Maersk entered into an agreement to divest Maersk Supply Service to A.P. Moller Holding with the closing expected to take place in Q2 2023.

Management review I Review Q1 2023
Review Q1 2023
Financial results reflect market normalisation
A.P. Moller - Maersk's Q1 2023 financial results reflect the normali- sation of global demand and supply, characterised by the inventory corrections seen in Western economies over the past two quarters. This resulted in significantly lower profitability of the three main businesses compared to Q1 2022, particularly in Ocean, where the profit was lower due to lower volumes and freight rates.
Revenue increased in Logistics & Services driven by the acquisitions made in 2022, however profit decreased due to lower volumes combined with an increased cost base as Logistics & Services continues to scale for growth. Revenue decreased in Terminals as volumes declined and the release of global port congestion led to lower storage income, particularly in the USA. In addition, Terminals' profit was lower when adjusting for the impairment of Global Port Investment (GPI) in Q1 2022.
Revenue decreased by USD 5.1bn to USD 14.2bn (USD 19.3bn), with a decrease in Ocean of USD 5.7bn, while Terminals saw a decrease of USD 255m, slightly offset by an increase of USD 592m in Logistics & Services.
EBITDA decreased to USD 4.0bn (USD 9.1bn), with a decrease in Ocean of USD 4.9bn due to lower revenue, a decrease in Terminals of USD 165m, while EBITDA was on par in Logistics & Services, driven by the consolidation of acquisitions.

(2022: 8.2bn) | (2022: 319m) | (2022: 456m) | ||
3.4bn | 316m | 291m |
EBIT decreased to USD 2.3bn (USD 7.3bn), with an EBIT margin of 16.4% (37.7%), negatively impacted by the decreased EBITDA, specifically in Logistics & Services, due to higher depreciation and amortisation from acquisitions with an EBIT margin of 3.9% (6.4%). When adjusting for the impairment of the Russian GPI participation in Q1 2022, EBIT decreased in Terminals by USD 205m due to lower volumes and lower storage income.
