SALG & LEASEBACK AF TRE FRAGTFÆRGER SÆNKER EJERANDEL AF AKTIVER OG INVESTERINGSFORVENTNING

Del
SELSKABSMEDDELELSE nr. 34 - 17. oktober 2023
  • Salg og leaseback af tre fragtfærger i en 5-årig periode
  • Samlet salgspris på DKK 1,5 mia.
  • Finansiel gearing (NIBD/EBITDA) forbedret 0,15x
  • Investeringsforventning for 2023 reduceret til DKK 0,1 mia. fra DKK 1,6 mia.


For at øge den finansielle fleksibilitet har DFDS indgået en aftale med Navigare Capital om salg og leaseback af tre fragtfærger til en samlet salgspris på DKK 1,46 mia.

”Denne transaktion forbedrer den finansielle fleksibilitet ved at frigive likvider og sænke vores ejerandel af aktiver. Vi bevarer kontrollen over aktiverne og sikrer, at pålidelighed og kundeservice opretholdes”, Karina Deacon, CFO & EVP for DFDS.

Leasingperioden er fem år med start fra levering, som forventes i denne uge. Aftalen indeholder en forkøbsret til at købe færgerne ved leasingperiodens udløb. De tre færger er Flandria Seaways, Humbria Seaways og Scandia Seaways bygget i henholdsvis 2020/2020/2021.

Transaktionen medfører en nettoreduktion af den investerede kapital med DKK 0,6 mia. og en reduktion af den netto-rentebærende gæld (NIBD) med DKK 0,7 mia. Den finansielle gearing, målt som NIBD/EBITDA, reduceres 0,15x.

En avance på omkring DKK 145 mio. fra salget af de tre færger vil blive indregnet i resultatopgørelsen i rapporten for 4. kvartal 2023 som en gevinst ved afhændelse af langfristede aktiver og indgå i EBITA (Driftsresultat før amortisering).

Investeringsforventning ændret
Som følge af transaktionen er investeringsforventningen for 2023, eksklusive akkvisitioner, sænket til DKK 0,1 mia. fra tidligere DKK 1,6 mia.
