1. Risk factors
Macro-economic and market risks
The market for sea transport of freight and passengers is affected by the general level of demand
and by the state of the economy. Significant drops in demand will in most situations lead to
overcapacity and increased price pressure in the market. Partly in order to counteract these cyclical
risks, part of the DFDS ro-ro freight fleet consists of chartered vessels. The aim is that a certain
proportion of the chartered tonnage will be for contracts of less than a year with the option of
extensions, which facilitates the return of tonnage at short notice. All of the DFDS passenger ships
are owned by DFDS, which limits the options for adapting passenger capacity in the short term.
The container fleet is all chartered. Logistics activities make widespread use of subcontractors for
land transport, and leased equipment, leading to a high proportion of variable costs and therefore
substantially lower cyclical risk.
The UK market is DFDS’ single largest market which comprises both logistics activities and shipping
routes. However, DFDS’ geographic diversification across Northern Europe as well as activities
aimed at Russia and the surrounding countries reduces dependence on developments in any single
region. The number of routes and other activities also helps balance commercial risks.
The market for sea transport of freight and passengers is also affected by industry-specific
conditions, including changes in the market for alternative forms of transport, such as road, rail
and air, the latter of which mainly impacts upon the passenger sector. In addition, the market is
influenced by changes in local and regional competition, including the opening of competing routes
and the deployment of additional capacity on existing routes.
A significant proportion of the freight on some routes stems from a small number of customers.
The risk inherent in such relationships is partly limited by entering into long-term partnership
agreements.
Risks associated with business development and investments
Business development and investment risks stem from DFDS’s growth strategy, which includes
both organic growth (e.g. the acquisition of tonnage) and growth through the acquisition of
companies and activities. The most important risks associated with organic growth are related to
capacity utilisation on the existing route network when deploying new or larger tonnage.
Acquisitions of companies and activities involve significant risks, which increase in line with the size
of the investment and the complexity of the subsequent integration process.
Risks associated with all forms of business development are managed by means of in-depth
planning and decision-making processes based on internal policies and guidelines for investment,
including a required rate of return.
The tonnage market
DFDS mainly charters freight tonnage, which involves risks associated with price trends and the
availability of sufficient tonnage in relation to the company’s needs. Similar risks are also relevant
when chartering out excess tonnage. In addition, certain risks are associated with price trends and
the time periods involved in ordering newbuildings.
Due to the ongoing process of replacing and renewing the DFDS fleet, the sale of tonnage or the
annulment of contracts may result in gains, losses and costs that are not included in annual profit
forecasts.
Security and environment risks
DFDS uses freight and passenger ships, port terminals, warehouses and cargo carrying equipment
and other operating equipment, all of which involve operational risks. These risks are controlled
and minimised partly through compliance with safety requirements and routines, as well as
preventative work, and partly through insurance against risk.
Environmental and safety measures are based on DFDS’ environmental and safety policies, as well
as official regulations and customer demand. Changes in these factors can increase costs. The
Group is insured against environmental risks as far as possible, and participates in preparatory
legislative procedures through industry organisations.
Page 4 of 29
DFDS A/S – 28.06.2012
Registration Document
The DFDS CR report, for 2011 issued as an integrated part of the DFDS annual report, also
accounts for safety and environmental risks as well as DFDS’ control practices and prevention
efforts.
Political and legal risks
DFDS’ activities are affected by legal and regulatory changes regarding the shipping and transport
sector as well as the overall conditions for infrastructure in northern Europe. In addition to political
bodies, DFDS is subject to International Maritime Organisation (IMO) conventions. The IMO is the
UN body responsible for
maritime issues, primarily safety and the environment.
Changes in laws and regulations regarding DFDS’ overall conditions can lead to negative
consequences, including higher costs. This risk is linked to the requirement of lowering the sulphur
content in bunkers to 0.1% in 2015 in the Baltic and the North Sea.
This is accounted for in the environmental section of the CR report.
Other significant political risks concern changes to taxation arrangements for staff at sea, loss of
duty-free sales in Norway if the country were to join the EU, the cancellation of VAT exemption on
tickets and on-board sales and change of tonnage tax schemes.
DFDS is actively monitoring developments in these areas, including through participation in
industry organisations.
FINANCIAL RISK
As an international company, DFDS is exposed to financial risks relating to changes in exchange
rates, interest rates, oil prices and other factors. Such risks are managed in accordance with DFDS’
agreed policy for financial risk management. Decisions about risk management are discussed
regularly by Executive Management, and the Board of Directors is regularly informed about risks
and hedging.
The overall financial structure and financial needs are balanced. DFDS owns several ships without
collateral, as a result of which refinancing risks are considered to be limited. The main focus in
2011 has been on ensuring future liquidity.
DFDS’ shipping activities involve a relatively high degree of capital intensity, and demand for
transport services is cyclical to a certain degree. Together, this implies a risk of large fluctuations in
earnings, and financial flexibility is therefore maintained through the capital structure. At the end
of 2011, DFDS’ equity ratio was 54%. In light of DFDS’ growth strategy and the current increased
uncertainty about the future macro outlook, the capital structure is deemed to be satisfactory.
The most important financial risk factors for DFDS are oil, interest rate, currency, investments and
liquidity. It is the policy of the Group not to enter into active speculation in financial risks. The
intention of the financial risk management of the Group is only to manage the financial risks
attached to operational and financing activities.
The Group uses forward exchange contracts and currency options to hedge forecasted transactions
in foreign currencies. Furthermore, the Group uses interest rate swaps to hedge the forecasted
transactions related to interest transactions as well as forward oil contracts to hedge the forecasted
oil expenses.
Currency risks
Financial currency risks arise from translation of net investments in foreign companies (translation
risks) and from other investments or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (transactions
risks). Currency risks are monitored continuously to ensure compliance with the financial risk
management policy.
DFDS actively aim to reduce currency exposure by matching the currency positions, obtaining multi
currency loans and by directing all currency balance positions towards the Parent Company DFDS
A/S (the transaction risk) if possible.
Page 5 of 29
DFDS A/S – 28.06.2012
Registration Document
Transaction risks
The Group’s and the Parent Company’s most substantial currency balance position is in SEK. A
strengthening of SEK, GBP and NOK, would have increased/decreased equity and profit or loss by
the amounts presented in note 28 in the Annual Report 2011. This analysis is based on foreign
currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end
of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates,
remain constant. As all subsidiaries are operating in their own functional currency no effect will
occur on the equity. Hedging is only done in the Parent Company. The Parent Company is
furthermore exposed against fluctuations in EUR vs. DKK. Due to the recent turbulence in the
EURO zone this risk is regularly monitored.
Translation risks
Translation risks relate to translation of profit and loss and equity of foreign group enterprises into
DKK. These risks are to some extent covered by loans in the respective foreign currencies.
Derivatives are to some extent used to hedge translation risks.
Interest rate risks
DFDS is primarily exposed to interest rate risks through the loan portfolio. The intention of the
interest rate risk management is to limit the negative effects of interest rate fluctuation on the
earnings. It is DFDS’ strategy that 40-70% of the net loan portfolio must be fixed-rate loans when
taking contracted interest rate swaps and long term charter agreements into consideration.
Oil risks
Financial oil risks in the DFDS Group are caused by oil swaps used to hedge bunker costs. In the
freight area, oil-price risks are hedged to a large extent by price-adjustment clauses in transport
contracts. The degree of hedging is also affected by capacity utilisation, i.e. all things being equal,
greater utilisation will lead to a higher coverage ratio. It is estimated that a price change of 1% will
entail a financial impact of approximately DKK 6.0m compared to the oil price level mid-February
2012, which was approximately USD 700 per ton.
Liquidity risks
DFDS aims to maintain a minimum cash resource of DKK 400 million, which is regarded sufficient
for the current operation. The cash resources are managed at Group level, and 12-months rolling
cash forecasts are prepared on a monthly basis. The cash resources at 30 March 2012 were DKK
888 million. The central treasury department manages excess liquidity and cash resources. Cash at
bank and in hand are primarily placed in the short money market as well as short term bonds, and
due to banks are drawn mostly on overdraft facilities.
Credit risks
DFDS’s primary financial assets are trade receivables, other receivables, cash at bank and in hand
and derivative financial instruments. The credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables
and other receivables.
Operational risks
Operational risks arise from the cash flow transactions. The size of the transactions made through
the financial year is affected by the change in different market rates such as interest and foreign
exchange rates. Currency risks are monitored continuously to ensure compliance with the financial
risk management policy.

Website: http://www.dfdsgroup.com/. The Company also carries on business under the secondary
name “Det Forenede Dampskibs-Selskab, Aktieselskab”.
DFDS A/S is the parent company of the Group. For an overview of all its subsidiaries, see the DFDS
annual report 2011 – note 42. DFDS A/S is also an operating company, which owns part of the
fleet and operates a number of routes. DFDS Seaways operates a network of 25 routes with 50
freight and passenger ships, while DFDS Logistics provides freight solutions in Europe with trailers,
containers, and rail. DFDS has around 5,100 employees in 20 countries.
DFDS works as part of the European transport sector, focusing on Northern Europe, Eastern Europe
and Russia. DFDS’ routes link ports in the Baltic and in the North Sea and combine transport of
freight and passengers, depending on market requirements. DFDS operates liner services with
fixed schedules. DFDS’ transport and logistics activities primarily operate in the same markets
covered by the route network. These services also support the capacity utilisation of the route
network by specialising in transport solutions that involve shipping.
The history of DFDS - from 1866 to today
DFDS was founded in 1866, when C. F. Tietgen merged the three biggest Danish steamship
companies of the day.
From its inception, DFDS was a part of Denmark’s industrial and maritime history.
Since 1866, DFDS has been involved in domestic as well as international trade, transporting both
freight and passengers. DFDS’ international activities started in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea,
followed later by the Mediterranean. Towards the end of the 19th century, routes were also
established to the USA and South America.
Land-based transport and logistics also became a part of DFDS’ business activities as freight
transport by land began to grow, and in the 1960s the company introduced a door-to-door concept
for freight.
A passenger route between New York and Miami, based on a cruise-ferry concept, was opened in
1982 but did not live up to expectations and closed in 1983. Subsequently, the DFDS Group was
restructured and the activities in the Mediterranean and the routes to the USA and South America
were sold.
Since then, DFDS’ geographic focus for shipping has been northern Europe.
Land-based haulage and logistics activities were developed on the basis of organic growth and
company acquisitions. By the late 1990s, DFDS Dan Transport had become one of the largest landbased transport companies in northern Europe.
DFDS Dan Transport, however, was sold in 2000 to focus the Group’s resources on shipping.
Since then, freight and passenger shipping has been developed on the basis of organic growth and
a series of acquisitions. The most important investments have been in the Swedish passenger and
freight shipping company Tor Line in the early 1980s, the Norwegian freight shipping company
North Sea Line in the late 1990s, the Lithuanian freight and passenger shipping company LISCO in
2001 and the Norwegian freight shipping company Lys-Line in 2003.
In 2004, the Company made a major investment in six ro-ro newbuildings from Flensburg
Shipyard, which increased freight capacity and stimulated organic growth.
In 2007, a new management was appointed, and a new growth strategy was embarked on. After a
period of setting the house in order and preparing for growth, DFDS fulfilled the strategic ambitions
Page 11 of 29
DFDS A/S – 28.06.2012
Registration Document
and goals by signing an agreement with AP Moller-Maersk to acquire its shipping and logistics
company Norfolkline in late 2009.
The acquisition was completed in July 2010, making DFDS the leading integrated shipping and
logistics companies in northern Europe. This is based on a comparison of the revenue of DFDS and
the revenue of DFDS’ primary competitors according to the companies’ 2011 annual reports.
Among the largest competitors in terms of revenue are Stena Line and Finnlines. In 2011 DFDS’
revenue was 1,560 million Euros. In comparison the revenue for Stena Line was 9,684 million SEK
which amounted to 1,086.7 million Euros based on the end of 2011 exchange rates of Danmarks
Nationalbank. The revenue of Finnlines was 605.2 million Euros.

7. Business overview
DFDS combines sea and land transport
DFDS provides sea and land transport services to freight customers and passengers. DFDS is
currently Northern Europe’s largest integrated shipping and logistics company. This is based on a
comparison of the revenue of DFDS and the revenue of DFDS’ primary competitors according to the
companies’ 2011 annual reports. Among the largest competitors in terms of revenue are Stena Line
and Finnlines.
To maximise the capacity utilisation of the route network, DFDS actively seeks to expand each
route's catchment area to attract more customers.
Volumes on freight routes are supported by local sales offices and own transport companies operated by the Logistics Division - specialized in traffic with an element of sea transport.
On the passenger side, the majority of bookings are made on the internet, where the goal is to
make it as easy as possible for customers to book their journeys.
Routes, ships and the network
DFDS' route network encompasses both pure freight routes and combined freight & passenger
routes. The network's freight routes are supported by DFDS' landbased logistics services.
An important success factor for DFDS is the ability to deploy ships on each route that matches the
requirements of customers with regard to capacity, time schedule, reliability and facilities onboard.
The largest freight vessels transport 3,000-5,000 metres of freight, measured by the space that
the cargo takes up on the decks (lanemetres). These ships can only accomodate twelve
passengers, primarily drivers.
Combined freight and passenger ships typically have a freight capacity of 1,500 -3,000 lane
metres, and room for 600-1,200 passengers.
Passenger ships typically carry 1,500-2,000 passengers, while the freight capacity is around 1,0001,500 lane metres.
DFDS' organisational structure
DFDS’ business structure consists of two divisions: Shipping Division and Logistics Division.
Corporate functions are grouped into two areas: People & Ships and Finance.
DFDS' ro-ro freight and passenger shipping activities are operated under the DFDS Seaways brand
and organised in the Shipping Division. Landbased trailer operations, logistics contracts, and
container shipping are operated under the DFDS Logistics brand and organised in the Logistics
Division.
Sales of freight solutions that cut across business areas and the network in general are coordinated through Freight Sales Solutions.
The Shipping Division operates DFDS' route network, divided into four business areas:
o North Sea, Baltic Sea, English Channel and Passenger.
The Logistics Division operates DFDS' logistics activities, divided into five business areas:
o Nordic Transport, Continental Transport, European Contract, Intermodal and Nordic
Contract.
People & Ships provide HR services including crewing of ship for both freight and passenger
ships. Furthermore, People & Ships provide ship maintenance and ship operations,
including bunker optimization programmes.

Sea, Channel and Passenger.
The activities of the Shipping Division include freight transported by Ro-Ro and Ro-Pax tonnage. In
addition, the Shipping Division operates a number of passenger vessels. Furthermore, the Shipping
Division operates port terminals in Gothenburg, Esbjerg, Vlaardingen, Immingham, Dunkirk, and
Copenhagen.
In 2011 the North Sea was the largest business area within the Shipping Division generating 44%
of revenues. The primary market areas of the North Sea business area are Denmark, Sweden,
Norway, Germany, Benelux, and Great Britain.
The customer segments in the North Sea business area are mainly forwarding companies, hauliers,
and manufacturers of heavy industrial goods. Manufacturers of heavy industrial goods as a
customer segment in the North Sea primarily consist of manufacturers of motor vehicles, paper,
steel, and chemicals.
DFDS has a range of competitors in the North Sea. Among these competitors are Cobelfret, P&O
Ferries, and Stena Line. However, DFDS also faces competition from road and rail transport in
general in the North Sea business area.
The primary market areas of the Baltic Sea business area are Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the
Baltic States and Russia and other CIS countries. In 2011 the Baltic Sea business area generated
18 % of the total revenue for the Shipping Division of DFDS.
The customer segments in the Baltic Sea business area are mainly forwarding companies, hauliers,
and manufacturers of heavy industrial goods. In the case of the Baltic Sea, manufacturers of heavy
industrial goods primarily consist of manufacturers of motor vehicles and forest products.
Furthermore, the Shipping Division provides services for passengers travelling with or without cars
as a customer segment in the Baltic Sea business area.
The main competitors in the Baltic Sea business area are Scandlines, Stena Line, Tallink, and
TransRussiaExpress (Finnlines). Furthermore, DFDS faces competition from road and rail transport
in the Baltic Sea business area.
The primary market areas of the Channel business area are Great Britain and Eastern and Central
Europe. In 2011 the Channel generated 13 % of the total revenue for the Shipping Division.
Page 14 of 29
DFDS A/S – 28.06.2012
Registration Document
The customer segments of the Channel business area are mainly forwarding companies, hauliers
and passengers with cars. The primary competitors in this business area are Eurotunnel and P&O
Ferries.
The Passenger business area generated 24 % of the total revenue of the Shipping Division in 2011.
The primary market areas are Denmark, Norway, Great Britain, Benelux and overseas markets.
The customer segments for the Passenger business area are mainly mini cruise, passengers with
cars, conference guests, forwarding companies, and hauliers. Color Line, P&O Ferries, and Stena
Line are the main competitors. However, DFDS also faces competition in the Passenger business
area from various airlines.
In order to service all four business areas DFDS operates a fleet of Ro-Ro, Ro-Pax, and passenger
vessels. Ro-Ro vessels are designed for transport of rolling cargo, eg. trailers and industrial cargo
on cassettes, whereas Ro-Pax vessels also transport passengers. In the North Sea markets trailers
are mainly unaccompanied, whereas in the Baltic and Channel markets trailers are mainly
accompanied requiring passenger facilities onboard the vessels.
The passenger vessels are designed primarily for passenger transportation and entertainment.
These vessels are characterized by a high quality of on-board facilities.

Lauritzen Fonden is the single largest shareholder of the Issuer and therefore has indirect control
over the Company. Until 2010 Lauritzen Fonden owned more than 50% of all shares but in relation
to the acquisition of Norfolkline from A. P. Møller-Mærsk A/S the Issuer arranged for a share issue
by which the Lauritzen Fonden was diluted to its current ownership level. As part of the said
transaction Lauritzen Fonden and A.P. Møller-Mærsk A/S entered into a shareholders’ agreement
which by the European Commission was deemed to establish sole control for Lauritzen Fonden
when the transaction was considered for merger control purposes.
