HAIFA, Israel, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM), (“ZIM” or the “Company”) a global container liner shipping company, announced today its consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Second Quarter 2024 Highlights
Net income for the second quarter was $373 million (compared to a net loss of $213 million in the second quarter of 2023), or diluted earnings per share of $3.084 (compared to diluted loss per share of $1.79 in the second quarter of 2023).
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the second quarter was $766 million, a year-over-year increase of 179%.
Operating income (EBIT) for the second quarter was $468 million, compared to operating loss of $168 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBIT1 for the second quarter was $488 million, compared to Adjusted EBIT loss of $147 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Total revenues for the second quarter were $1,933 million, a year-over-year increase of 48%.
Carried volume in the second quarter was 952 thousand TEUs, a year-over-year increase of 11%.
Average freight rate per TEU in the second quarter was $1,674, a year-over-year increase of 40%.
Net debt1 of $3.25 billion as of June 30, 2024, compared to $2.31 billion as of December 31, 2023; net leverage ratio1 of 2.0x at June 30, 2024, compared to 2.2x as of December 31, 2023.
Eli Glickman, ZIM President & CEO, stated, “We are pleased with our strong second quarter performance, highlighted by outstanding strategic execution that led to record high carried volume, representing 11% growth year-over-year. The steps we have taken to upscale our capacity and enhance our cost structure continued to drive strong financial results. We generated net income of $373 million, as we drew on our differentiated strategy and agility while capitalizing on sustained market strength. Aligned with our prioritization of returning capital to shareholders, we declared a dividend of $0.93 per share, or $112 million, representing 30% of second quarter net income.”
Mr. Glickman added, “During the quarter, we benefitted from ZIM’s strategic decision to increase the Company’s spot market exposure in the Transpacific trade. This has enabled us to capture significant upside in a rate environment that has been elevated for longer than anticipated. We expect our results in the second half of 2024 to be better than in the first half of the year, driven by continued supply pressure from the Red Sea crisis, combined with current favorable demand trends. As a result, we have significantly increased our full year 2024 guidance and today forecast full year Adjusted EBITDA between $2.6 billion and $3.0 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $1.45 billion and $1.85 billion.”
Mr. Glickman concluded, “While market fundamentals still signal supply growth significantly outpacing demand, we are confident that we have built a resilient business with a transformed fleet. By year’s end, our ongoing newbuild program will be complete, as we receive delivery of the remaining eight out of 46 modern, fuel-efficient containerships that we secured, including 28 LNG-powered vessels. We are on track to achieve our double-digit volume growth target in 2024 and well positioned to drive profitable growth ahead.”

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 $2.6 billion and $3.0 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $1.45 billion and $1.85 billion. Previously, the Company expected to generate Adjusted EBITDA between $1.15 billion and $1.55 billion and Adjusted EBIT between zero and $400 million.

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.

Tianma, a leading global manufacturer of flat panel displays, is featuring an expanded portfolio of display technologies for the automotive market at CES, West Hall Meeting Rooms – W323, Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7-10. Highlighted OLED and Micro-LED products include: Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display; 3D Instrument Cluster; 12.3″ LTPS Mini-LED InvisiVue™ Display; Integrated Reflective Imaging System (IRIS) Panoramic Head-Up Display; and a new Light Field 3D-HUD.
CHINO, Calif., Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Tianma, a leading global manufacturer of flat panel displays, is featuring an expanded portfolio of display technologies for the automotive market at CES, West Hall Meeting Rooms – W323, Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7-10.
Highlighted OLED and Micro-LED products include: Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display; 3D Instrument Cluster; 12.3″ LTPS Mini-LED InvisiVue™ Display; Integrated Reflective Imaging System (IRIS) Panoramic Head-Up Display; and a new Light Field 3D-HUD.
Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display
Tianma’s Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display, developed in conjunction with Corning, offers unparalleled visual clarity in automotive applications. This innovative true-black display features a unique multi-curvature design, with a left curvature radius of R800mm for optimal driver focus, a middle curvature radius of R1140mm, and a right curvature radius of R2160mm to accommodate the passenger.
The system seamlessly bonds two color-matched 13″ OLED displays to the multi-curve cover glass made possible with Corning® ColdForm™ Technology. The result is a single, continuous screen providing an enhanced visual experience.
Equipped with advanced Stacked Layered OLED Device (SLOD) technology, this display is not only thinner and lighter but also boasts an extended lifespan, making it the perfect choice for modern vehicle interior design.
12.3″ 3D Instrument Cluster
The 12.3″ 3D Instrument Cluster is the industry’s first automotive instrument display screen that employs liquid crystal prism technology to achieve 2D/3D switchable functionality. It is also the first automotive display screen to achieve 500 pixels per inch (PPI). This instrument cluster offers real-time adjustable 3D depth, along with lossless switching between 2D and 3D modes. Additionally, the module adopts Tianma’s own light field rendering technology, providing drivers with a stable, continuous and comfortable 3D visual experience.
12.3″ LTPS High Transmissivity InvisiVue™ Mini-LED
This display features a highly transmissive decorative layer that looks like brushed metal or wood grain in the non-operating state, while the active area of the display is invisible to the user. When the display is turned on, only the image content emerges through the 80% transmissive decorative layer. The combination of a Mini-LED backlight and the high-transmissivity decorative layer yields a high-quality image for improved visual perception and user experience.
Integrated Reflective Imaging System (IRIS) Panoramic-HUD
The IRIS PHUD, independently developed by Tianma with its sophisticated optical path design, precisely projects images to the bottom edge of the vehicle’s windshield. It can adopt a triple-screen or large-size bar-shaped display layout, comprehensively covering the visual range of the driver, the center console area, and the front passenger.
Light Field 3D Head-Up Display (HUD)
The 4.1″ Light Field 3D-HUD is the industry’s first 3D-HUD display product utilizing light field rendering technology. It combines an advanced 3D picture generation unit (PGU) with an augmented reality (AR) HUD platform to provide users with realistic 3D scenes and natural depth perception effects. Compared to traditional 2D images, the 3D-HUD offers a more intuitive and immersive AR experience.
Tianma is hosting visitors at their booth in West Hall Meeting Rooms – W323. More information is also available in the Tianma press kit, accessible online at usa.tianma.com/press
