Eli Glickman, ZIM President & CEO, stated, “ZIM delivered strong third quarter results, as we again achieved record carried volumes contributing to our outstanding financial performance. We are pleased to share our success with our shareholders and declare a special dividend of ~$100 million on top of the regular 30% of quarterly net income dividend payout of ~$340 million, for a total dividend of ~$440 million, or $3.65 per share. Our growing earnings power is reflective of a strong rate environment, but also a testament to our diligent execution, upscaling our capacity and enhancing our cost structure. We’ve continued to see incremental benefits from our strategic investment in our operated capacity as new larger, more modern, cost-effective vessels join our fleet.”
Mr. Glickman added, “Also contributing to our strong Q3 was a decision we made earlier in the year to increase our exposure to spot volumes in the Transpacific trade. A key differentiator for ZIM is our commercial agility and we intend to continue to leverage this strength to capitalize on market opportunities moving forward. Based on results that have exceeded expectations to date and improved outlook for the fourth quarter of 2024, we have increased our full year 2024 guidance and today forecast full year Adjusted EBITDA between $3.3 billion and $3.6 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $2.15 billion and $2.45 billion.”
Mr. Glickman concluded, “We will close out the year with the final delivery of the remaining four out of 46 newbuild containerships that we secured, which include 28 LNG-powered vessels. Entering 2025, we will be operating a fleet that is both well-equipped to meet emissions reduction targets and well suited to the trades in which we operate. Supported by our declining unit costs, we believe ZIM is well positioned to deliver profitable growth over the long term.”

Use of Non-IFRS Measures in the Company’s 2024 Guidance
A reconciliation of the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures included in its full-year 2024 guidance to corresponding IFRS measures is not available on a forward-looking basis. In particular, the Company has not reconciled its 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.
Updated Full-Year 2024 Guidance
The Company increased its guidance for the full year of 2024 and now expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA between $3.3 billion and $3.6 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $2.15 billion and $2.45 billion. Previously, the Company expected to generate Adjusted EBITDA between $2.6 billion and $3.0 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $1.45 billion and $1.85 billion.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following information contains, or may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements (as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company, may include projections of the Company’s future financial results, its anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in its business. These statements are only predictions based on the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events or results. There are important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to: market changes in freight, bunker, charter and other rates or prices (including as a result of the continued situation in the Red Sea), supply-demand fluctuations in the containerized shipping market, new legislation or regulation affecting the Company’s operations, new competition and changes in the competitive environment, our ability to achieve cost savings or expense reductions, the outcome of legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, global, regional and/or local political instability, including the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, the increased tension between Israel and Iran and its proxies, in particular the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, inflation rate fluctuations, capital markets fluctuations and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the caption “Risk Factors” in its 2023 Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 13, 2024.
Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform its prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as otherwise required by law.
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as measures of profitability or liquidity. Please note that Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account debt service requirements or other commitments, including 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, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies.
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, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies.
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. We refer to this measure as net cash when cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments exceed the face value of short- and long-term debt.
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 and Adjusted EBITDA and net cash generated from operating activities to free cash flow in the tables provided below.

Forms Blast™ from RevSpring Intelligently and Securely Collects Patient Information

Forms Blast™ modernizes data collection and gives patients a paperless, user-friendly experience while increasing data accuracy
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RevSpring, the leading provider of healthcare engagement and payment solutions, today announced Forms Blast™—an intelligence-driven campaign solution combining omnichannel outreach with dynamic digital forms to securely and efficiently collect patient information. Forms Blast empowers organizations to strategically communicate with large groups of patients or consumers to accelerate business workflows, reduce costs related to inaccurate data collections and remove friction from the patient experience.
Providers who use Forms Blast have been able to offload as much as 35% of the manual process required to collect patient information across a variety of use cases. Forms Blast can be customized to fit each organization’s data collection needs, including financial assistance screenings, coordination of benefits, signature capture and missing insurance information. Personalized patient journeys are based on goals, form type and length requirements, such as timely filing rules for insurance or Medicaid eligibility windows.
“RevSpring is proud to facilitate the modernization of healthcare data capture with Forms Blast. Busy healthcare organizations now can reduce manual form processes, while increasing efficiency, accuracy and productivity,” said Howard Bright, CTO, patient engagement and analytics at RevSpring. “Thanks to its omnichannel approach, OCR technology and a secure, HIPAA-compliant portal to capture sensitive information, Forms Blast also makes it fast, easy and safe for patients to provide personal information. Not only does this deliver a superior patient experience, it drives improved financial outcomes for providers.”
Forms Blast personalizes campaigns based on the type of form, purpose of the outreach and patient behavior. Patients receive a unique, secure link to the online forms portal where they are prompted to provide the requested information. Optical character recognition (OCR) technology automatically pulls information from ID cards, insurance cards and other documents, making the process seamless and simple for the patient, while increasing data accuracy. Dashboard reporting, including campaign engagement metrics by individual patients, provides easy tracking of patient responsiveness and reporting on campaign effectiveness.
Omnichannel technology selects the appropriate channel(s) for delivering forms to each patient, including email and SMS, and can drop to print if needed. A progress bar provides visual feedback on completion status to reduce abandonment rates and encourage task completion.
Autosaved progress prevents data loss and ensures users’ progress is securely saved and retrievable if interruptions occur. Forms Blast supports eSignatures for a secure, efficient and legally binding way to obtain authorization, streamline workflows and reduce paperwork. Form responses and PDFs, complete with secure eSignatures, are returned to the organization daily. Patient records are continuously updated when data is automatically imported back into the host system.
Communication between providers and patients is improved with Forms Blast. Campaigns are responsive to patient behavior and send reminders encouraging patients to provide the required information. Forms are pre-populated with known information to make the process even more seamless for patients. Intelligence guides users to additional follow-up activities, such as financial assistance forms when appropriate.
Problems with paper forms, outbound phone calls and staffing issues lead to higher costs, increased workloads, data entry errors, delayed payments, patient frustration and a lack of reporting and tracking. With Forms Blast, forms often are completed within two days of sending a digital message, which accelerates the organization’s business processes such as insurance submissions and appeals.

With Magma, teachers can identify which students are struggling and see what they need help with continuously,” explains Henrik Appert.
