AGENDA

• First half of 2013

• Outlook for FY 2013

• Strategy update

• Financing

• Summary

3 August 2013

Impairments

• STX Pan Ocean default (ref. announcement no. 4) and subsequent untimely redelivery of two Capesize vessels on long-term

charter will affect earnings going forward write-down of vessels

• In general, vessel values reported by brokers at end 2013-Q2 confirm that values have stabilized but not within the shuttle tanker

segment write-down of older unit

• Continuously ordering of fuel efficient bulk carriers will affect the longer term earnings potential for vessels of older designs

write-down of fleet

• Sale of selected assets to trim balance sheet write-down of product tankers

August 2013 4

• All covenants satisfied

• Accountability is key for JL

Strategic decision to trim balance sheet and reduce leverage:

• Ensure continued ability to fulfil commitments

• Ensure ability to repay 2015-maturing bond without issuing new bonds and without asking owner for new equity

• Gradual exit of MR product tankers

• Will strengthen cash position

• Provides basis for future investments

Other key messages Key financials

• 2013 H1 EBITDA of USD 25.7m in line with expectations

• Solvency ratio 38% at end June 2013

• Cash available USD 179m at end June 2013

• Vessel values reported by brokers in general stabilized

• LTV reduced to 72% at end June 2013

• Impairment of USD (207)m

• 2013 FY EBITDA expectation reduced to USD 40m-60m

• Due to STX default and continued uncertainty as to

the recovery in dry bulk

First half of 2013: EBITDA as expected; Net result affected by write-downs Book value of vessels impaired primarily due to STX Pan Ocean default and strategic decisions

Income statement Comments

• EBITDA of 25.7m down USD (12.3)m on comparable

basis from last year.

• Compared to 2012, 2013 took off at lower rate levels

whereas 2012 started at higher levels with subsequent

sliding rates especially throughout 2012 H2.

• The change from 2012 to 2013 is mainly related to LB.

The lower earnings in LK was due to the disappointing

start of the year offset by improved product tanker

earnings (market as well as a slightly increased fleet).

• Finance net up USD 10m on 2012 primarily due to

positive exchange rate adjustments of JPY debt (JPY

depreciation)

• Net result of USD (262)m for 2013 H1 whereof write-

downs account for USD (207)m

Dry Bulk: smaller segments has better balance Gas Carriers: 2013 below 2012

Average spot earnings for dry bulk carriers 2013 H1 were below

expectations.

Dry bulk supply growth in 2013 expected to be higher than

expected at the start of the year due to higher deliveries and lower

scrapings. Demand growth remains robust and 2H expected to be

slightly better than 1H. Vessel values slightly up.

Going forward the outlook for the dry bulk market is reduced

somewhat due to increased supply growth, caused by a significant

increase in ordering of new vessels, and weaker economic growth

outlook for emerging markets affecting the demand side.

The market balance for the smaller segments is relatively well

balanced.

After a weak start to the year, movements of petrochemical

gasses picked up, but the fragile global economy restricted long

haul trades, which led to a slight spot market decline during 1H

compared to last year.

Vessel values stable.

Seasonal factors expected to support gas carrier market in 4Q

with 2H spot rates on average in line with realized rates for 1H.

Overall the market is expected to be weaker in 2013 than in

2012

The market was better than expected in 2013 H1 and vessel

values has increased slightly.

High activity in the US to Latin America trade supported the

summer markets and 2013 Q4 is expected to see seasonal

support. On average the freight outlook for 2H for product tankers

is anticipated to be fairly flat compared to 1H.

Heavy contracting of eco-vessels and almost zero scrapping

cause fleet growth expectations to increase, which could affect

sentiment in the MR market going forward

Highly specialized tankers vessels, mainly employed in the North

Sea and Brazil.

Medium high entry barriers.

The shuttle tanker order book consists of 21 vessels (26% of

existing fleet) to be delivered in 2013 and 2014.

Expectations for oil production in Brazil are reduced significantly

due to postponements of projects. This intensifies the negative

effect of high fleet growth in coming years

Strategy update - More than anything, JL stands for accountability, thus - JL responds to the effect from counterparty defaults and sustained weak markets

August 2013 12

Current financial situation

JL in compliance with all covenants

Cash available USD 179m

Liquidity estimate end-2014 below

”comfort zone”

Operational cash flow generation

2013-2014 insufficient to support

current leverage, i.e. not sustainable

Bonds maturing in May 2015

However, vessel values on average

stabilised in 2013 H1: Increase on dry

bulk and product tankers, age-related

decrease on gas carriers, and

decrease in shuttletankers

LTV of 72% only

No refinancing until 2015

Supportive bank group

Prudent and accountable owner

Actions for 2013-14

Build on scale and market presence

Sale of selected assets (vessels)

within 12-15 months to support

development of core business

• Gradual exit from product tankers

(to build cash position)

• Fleet renewal in dry bulk and gas

Fleet:

• Dry bulk eco-design ships

• Consider larger size ETH in

Lauritzen Kosan (LK) through

reshuffling of tonnage

• Lauritzen Bulkers (LB) increase

T/C fleet to maintain sufficient size

in handy-business

• Gradual redelivery of expensive

T/C tonnage

The outcome

A stronger JL

• Leverage reduced

• JL able to redeem 2015-maturing

bond without reissuing bond debt

and without calling for additional

equity

• LB with primary focus on the

handysize & supramax segments

• LK with primary focus on F/P and

ETH business

• Offshore:

• Opportunistic investment in

ASV business via part-

ownership in AXIS Offshore

• Shuttletankers – as is – with

vessels on long term contracts

(providing stable cash flow)

Strategy vary from segment to segment to reflect business model

Rationale &

coverage

strategy

Handysize/Supramax (small

bulk): Top-5 in handysize dry

bulk. Young fleet. “Play the

market”. Huge customer base

Cape size (larger bulk):

Vessels originally built against

long term contracts (4 owned

vessels hereof 2 on 13y t/c).

No growth expected

Among world leading

operators of gas carriers of 3-

10,000 m3

Strategic advantageous

and pool

Repeating customers:

Contracts are renewed

Long term employment mixed

with spot employment.

Spot employment via Hafnia

MR Pool

Lauritzen will gradually exit

the product tanker segment

2 shuttletankers on 10y

bareboats. 1 shuttletanker on

t/c until Aug 2014.

Long term contracts with oil

majors providing stable

earnings

Opportunistic investment in

ASV segment

Coverage

rationale

Small bulk, gas and product tankers: In segments where JL has scale, carries a high customer retention rate and, in

general, segments recognised as highly liquid, coverage is decided on the basis of market outlook and market conditions.

Larger dry bulk and in Offshore: High coverage preferred in segments with larger vessels, where JL has less scale and/or

less liquid assets (larger vessels, larger cover)

Financials

All covenants satisfied: Solvency ratio 38% and cash available standing at USD 179m

Expects to also fulfill all covenants at year-end 2013

Trim of balance sheet will release cash (average LTV of 72% on vessels)

No refinancing exposure until 2015

Significant write-down of USD (207)m reflecting primarily the STX counterparty default and strategic decisions

2013 H1 difficult, as expected

Bulk market recovery still uncertain; 2013 FY EBITDA expectation revised to USD 40-60m

Strategy

Continue to build on the scale, market presence and operational competencies

Grow business and modernize fleet

Lauritzen Bulkers with focus on the small dry bulk segments (handysize and supramax)

Lauritzen Kosan

Lauritzen Offshore

Shuttletankers “as is” - providing a stable cash flow

Exposure to the ASV business segment via the AXIS Offshore joint venture

Lauritzen Tankers: Gradual exit to build cash position

- JL reacts to the accumulated effect of several defaults since 2011 and continued uncertainty re. dry bulk recovery

- 2013 H1 EBITDA as expected; All covenants satisfied
