Financial and Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026

Fleet Update
ZIM currently operates 115 containerships with a total capacity of 707 thousand TEUs, as well as 13 car carriers, compared to 123 containerships with total capacity of 767 thousand TEU and 14 car carriers as of our Q2 2025 earnings release (August 20, 2025).

In 2027, 13 containerships are scheduled for charter expiration, representing an aggregate capacity of approximately 28 thousand TEU. While this flexibility allows ZIM to actively manage its operated capacity, the company expects capacity to remain stable in 2026.
ZIM has entered into charter agreements for an aggregate of 40 vessels, or approximately 286 thousand TEU of capacity, the vast majority of which is newbuild capacity, including:
-- Four 8,000 TEU newbuild scrubber fitted vessels with charter durations of
either 5 or 7.5 years and expected delivery between the second half of
2026 and the first half of 2027

Use of Non-IFRS Measures in the Company's 2026 Guidance
A reconciliation of the Company's non-IFRS financial measures included in its full-year 2026 guidance to corresponding IFRS measures is not available on a forward-looking basis. In particular, the Company has not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT because the various reconciling items between such non-IFRS financial measures and the corresponding IFRS measures cannot be determined without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the future costs and expenses for which the Company adjusts, the effect of which may be significant, and all of which are difficult to predict and are subject to frequent change.
Full-Year 2026 Guidance and Expected Dividend
In 2026, the Company expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA between $2.0 billion and $2.4 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $700 million and $1.1 billion.
Based on its current full year 2026 guidance, the Company expects to distribute dividends to shareholders on account of 2026 results in accordance with its existing dividend policy.
All future dividends are subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, the restrictions provided by Israeli law and the applicable restrictions set forth in the merger agreement with Hapag-Lloyd.
Transaction with Hapag-Lloyd
On February 16, 2026, ZIM announced that it entered into a merger agreement with Hapag-Lloyd, under which Hapag-Lloyd will acquire ZIM for $35.00 per share in cash. The transaction was unanimously approved by ZIM's Board of Directors and approved by shareholders at a special meeting held on April 30, 2026. The transaction remains subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approvals by various regulatory authorities among them the State of Israel pursuant to the requirements of the Special State Share (the "Golden Share") and is targeted to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Until the closing of the transaction, Hapag-Lloyd and ZIM will remain separate independent companies and ZIM will continue to operate in the ordinary course.
Conference Call Details
In light of the pending transaction with Hapag-Lloyd, ZIM will not host a conference call in connection with its second quarter 2026 results.

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRSs), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company presents non-IFRS measures as additional performance measures as the Company believes that it enables the comparison of operating performance between periods on a consistent basis. These measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for operating income, any other performance measures, or cash flow data, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as measures of profitability or liquidity. Please note that Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account debt service requirements or other commitments, as well as capital expenditures, and therefore, does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available for the Company's use. In addition, the non-IFRS financial measures presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way these measures are calculated.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization in order to reach EBITDA, and further adjusted, as applicable, to exclude impairment of assets (or the reversal of which), capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business, expenses related to legal contingencies and acquisition related expenses (compensation costs and professional fees).
Adjusted EBIT is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net and income taxes, in order to reach our results from operating activities, or EBIT, and further adjusted, as applicable, to exclude impairment of assets (or the reversal of which), capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business, expenses related to legal contingencies and acquisition related expenses (compensation costs and professional fees).
Adjusted Net Income is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net income (loss) adjusted, as applicable, to exclude impairment of assets (or the reversal of which), capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business, expenses related to legal contingencies and acquisition related expenses (compensation costs and professional fees), all of which net of their respective income tax effect.
Free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net cash generated from operating activities minus capital expenditures, net.
Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as face value of short- and long-term debt, minus cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments.
Net cash position is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as the total cash position (which includes cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments) minus financial debt (i.e., excluding lease liabilities).
Net leverage ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net debt (see above) divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve-month period. When our net debt is less than zero, we report the net leverage ratio as zero.
See the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income and net cash generated from operating activities to free cash flow in the tables provided below.
