COPENHAGEN, November 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
- Profit before tax for the first three quarters of 2008
was USD 290 million.
- TORM forecasts a pre-tax profit for 2008 of USD 355 -
370 million as announced on 11 August 2008, when the
full-year forecast was upgraded (announcement no. 16/2008).
- TORM has unutilised credit facilities and cash in excess
of USD 700 million.
- Due to the sharp fall in oil prices from the peak in
July 2008 TORM has in the third quarter unrealized
mark-to-market adjustments on FFA and bunker hedge of USD
6 million and on financial derivatives of USD 11 million.
- Equity amounted to USD 1,269 million (DKK 6,622 million)
as at 30 September 2008, equivalent to USD 18.3 per share
(DKK 95.6 per share), excluding treasury shares.
- The market value of TORM's fleet, including the order
book, exceeded book value by USD 1,589 million at 30
September 2008, equalling USD 23.0 per share (DKK 119.8
per share), excluding treasury shares.
- The market for transport of crude oil was firm during
the first part of the third quarter, while earnings in the
latter part were better for transport of refined oil
products. Product tanker earnings have dropped in the
fourth quarter, although they remain at seasonably high
levels. As at 31 October 2008, TORM had covered 63% of the
remaining earning days for 2008 in the Tanker Division at
USD 25,299 per day.
- Bulk freight rates dropped towards the end of the third
and into the fourth quarter, primarily due to lower demand
for coal and iron ore and concern of the global economic
development. As at 31 October 2008, TORM had covered 78%
of the remaining earning days for 2008 in the Bulk
Division at USD 45,550 per day.
- At the end of the third quarter, the Company's net
interest bearing debt totalled USD 1,575 million. More
than half of the debt falls due in or after 2013.
- As at 31 October 2008, TORM had covered approximately
32% of the total fleet's earning days in 2009.
- The historically good result in combination with the
development of the share price has led TORM to propose an
interim dividend of DKK 4.50 per share. The company will
call in for an extraordinary general meeting.
- "Although the product tanker market, TORM's principal
business area, is currently doing well, we have taken a
number of risk precautions both internally and vis-a-vis
customers, suppliers and financial counterparties in order
to limit the effects if the financial crisis continues.
Our strong balance sheet and financial resources provide a
solid foundation for the Company to manoeuvre in more
difficult market conditions in 2009," announces CEO Mikael
Skov.

"Not-allocated" includes the activity that TORM owns in a 50/50 joint

in FR8.
Tanker Division
The Tanker Division achieved an operating profit of USD 67.8 million in
the third quarter of 2008 against USD 52.5 million in the second quarter of
2008. The share of results of jointly controlled entities, which for the year
amounted to USD 11.7 million, FR8 contributed a profit of USD 12.5 million
and OMI a loss of USD 6.6 million.
The market for transport of crude oil was very positive in the first part
of the third quarter. This primarily benefited the LR2 fleet. In the latter
part of the quarter, earnings were highest for transport of refined oil
products. The LR2 and LR1 vessels' earnings were very high, but MR and SR
vessels also enjoyed good earnings during the quarter. At the beginning of
the fourth quarter, product tanker rates have dropped, but still remain at
seasonably high levels.
The tanker market was affected by the following significant factors in
the third quarter of 2008:
Positive impact:
- The drop in fuel prices from USD 700 per ton to USD 550 per ton
positively affected earnings measured in terms of TCE levels, equalling
an improvement of earnings of approximately USD 6.000 per day for an
LR1 vessel.
- Following hurricanes Gustav and Ike, up to 160 vessels were waiting to
load and discharge in the Gulf of Mexico, a major factor in the balance
between supply and demand for the MR fleet, in particular.
- Increased European demand for gas oil and diesel fuel meant more
cargoes from Japan and South Korea, increasing transport distances for
the large LR1 and LR2 vessels.
- Increased imports of refined oil products to Western Africa meant
longer transport distances and longer chargeable waiting times,
primarily benefiting the LR1 fleet.
Negative impact:
- The financial crisis and declining economic growth have reduced the
number of arbitrage-based transports.
- Rising stocks of naphtha in the Far East negatively affected the LR2
fleet.
TORM's Tanker Division achieved freight rates in the third quarter of
2008 that were 122% higher than in the third quarter of 2007 for the LR2
segment, 15% higher for the MR segment, and 24% higher for the SR segment,
while the rates obtained for the LR1 segment were 14% lower.

Bulk Division
The Bulk Division achieved an operating profit of USD 48.7 million for
the third quarter of 2008.
Bulk freight rates collapsed towards the end of the third and into the
beginning of the fourth quarter. At the beginning of the third quarter,
earnings per day for a Panamax bulk carrier amounted to approximately USD
79,000, whereas at the end of the third quarter the same earnings had dropped
to approximately USD 32,000 per day. At the beginning of the fourth quarter,
freight rates have dropped further to approximately USD 12-15,000 per day for
a one-year T/C agreement. The outlook for bulk freight rates remains
negatively impacted by the US and European recession and by large iron ore
stocks in China.
The number of available earning days in TORM's Panamax segment was 13%
higher in the third quarter of 2008 than in the third quarter of 2007.
Similarly, earnings were 85% up on the same quarter of 2007.

vessels, 58 of which were tankers and six bulk carriers. For the remaining
part of 2008, TORM has chartered in approximately 18 product tankers and
approximately 11 bulk carriers, totalling a fleet of 93 vessels. During the
third quarter of 2008, TORM sold and delivered TORM Wabash, realising a
profit of USD 11 million. In the third quarter, TORM Gotland was sold for
delivery at the beginning of the fourth quarter. As previously announced, the
Company will realise a profit of USD 20 million from this sale.

Pools
As at 30 September 2008, the three product tanker pools in which TORM
participates comprised a total of 86 vessels, 50 of which were TORM vessels.
To this should be added 23 vessels which TORM operates outside pools. By the
end of 2008, the three pools are expected to comprise a total of 91 vessels,
of which 56 will be TORM vessels.
Results
Third quarter 2008
The third quarter of 2008 showed a gross profit of USD 152 million,
against USD 90 million for the corresponding quarter of 2007. Profit before
depreciation (EBITDA) for the period was USD 145 million, against USD 79
million for the third quarter of 2007. The increase in both gross profit and
EBITDA was primarily due to increased earnings as a result of a larger number
of earning days and higher freight rates in the Tanker Division and higher
freight rates in the Bulk Division.
In the third quarter of 2008, depreciation amounted to USD 31 million.
The operating profit for the third quarter of 2008 was USD 120 million,
against USD 48 million in the same quarter of 2007. The Tanker and Bulk
Divisions contributed USD 68 million and USD 49 million respectively, whereas
USD 3 million is unallocated.
In the third quarter of 2008, financial items amounted to USD -28
million, against USD -10 million in the corresponding quarter of 2007.
Financial expenses for the third quarter of 2008 were impacted by an expense
of approximately USD 11 million relating to fair value adjustment of
financial derivatives (interest rate swaps, forward exchange contracts, etc.).
Profit after tax for the third quarter was USD 91 million, including a
profit of USD 11 million from the sale of vessels, against USD 35 million in
the third quarter of 2007.
Assets
Total assets rose from USD 3,211 million to USD 3,243 million in the
third quarter of 2008.
Liabilities
During the third quarter of 2008, the Company's net interest bearing debt
was reduced from USD 1,689 million to USD 1,575 million. The item mainly
comprised net borrowing in connection with the delivery of vessels and
positive cash earnings during the period. More than half of the debt falls
due in or after 2013. The Company has unutilised credit facilities and cash
in excess of USD 700 million.
Equity
During the third quarter of 2008, equity rose from USD 1,211 million to
USD 1,269 million as a result of earnings during the period. Equity as a
percentage of total assets increased from 37.7% at 39 June 2008 to 39.1% as
at 30 September 2008.
As at 30 September 2008, TORM held 3,556,364 treasury shares,
corresponding to 4.9% of the Company's share capital, which is unchanged
compared with 30 June 2008.
Subsequent events
During the fourth quarter of 2008, TORM has delivered TORM Gotland to the
buyer, realising a profit of USD 20 million in this quarter.
Expectations
TORM maintains a forecast pre-tax profit for 2008 of USD 355 - 370
million as announced on 11 August 2008 (announcement no. 16/2008).
Sensitivity
At 31 October 2008, approximately 63% of the earning days of the
Company's product tankers were covered for the remainder of the year. For the
Bulk Division, approximately 78% of the remaining operating days were covered
for the rest of the year. In the Bulk Division, TORM solely uses physical
agreements for hedging purposes, and has thus not been involved in the market
for forward purchases or sales of freight agreements.

Safe Harbor Matters discussed in this release may constitute
Forward-looking forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
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
other statements, which are 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 assure
you 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
world economies 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
governmental rules and regulations 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 obligation
to update and change the listed expectations to the
extent required by law.
The TORM share
The price of a TORM share was DKK 126.2 at 30 September 2008, against DKK
167.1 at the beginning of the third quarter - equivalent to a decrease of DKK
40.9 (24%).
Accounting policies
The interim report for the third quarter of 2008 has been prepared using
the same accounting policies as for the Annual Report 2007, except that the
Company has changed its accounting policy for the recognition of investments
in joint ventures so that these are recognised according to the equity
method. Previously, joint ventures were recognised on a pro rata basis. The
change in accounting policy is due to the fact that the Company finds it
inappropriate to aggregate the items of joint ventures with items of entities
that form an integral part of the Company's activities. The policy change has
no effect on the income statement or on equity, but the profit for the year
of joint ventures and the investment in these are presented in a single line
item in the income statement and the balance sheet, respectively.
Furthermore, the takeover balance sheet in connection with the acquisition of
50% of OMI in June 2007 has been finalised. As a result of the change in
accounting policy and the finalised OMI takeover balance sheet, the operating
profit and net cash flows for 2007 were reduced by USD 5.9 million and USD
11.6 million, respectively, and invested capital at 31 December 2007 was
increased by USD 12.5 million.
In addition, TORM has implemented IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
The implementation has not led to any changes in the income statement or
equity, but has caused minor changes to the presentation and a few additions
to the disclosures.

The Board of Directors and Management have considered and approved the
interim report for the period 1 January - 30 September 2008.
The interim report, which is unaudited, has been prepared in accordance
with the general Danish financial reporting requirements governing listed
companies, including the measurement and recognition provisions in IFRS which
are expected to be applicable for the Annual Report 2008.
We consider the accounting policies applied to be appropriate, and in our
opinion the interim report gives a true and fair view of the Group's assets,
liabilities, financial position and of the results of operations and
consolidated cash flows.
