1st Quarter Report 2006 (SEA)

• Revenue rose by 22% to DKK 1.6 billion. Full-year revenue is expected to rise by 12-15%
• Operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) rose by 129% to DKK 142 million
• Pre-tax profit improved by DKK 87 million to DKK -13 million
• Significant profit improvement in DFDS Tor Line due to high level of activity
• DFDS Seaways’ new passenger ferry deployed on the Amsterdam route as planned
• Since the majority of DFDS’ profits are generated in Q2 and Q3, the full-year result is still subject to considerable uncertainty, not least on account of the high level of oil prices
• The full-year pre-tax profit is still expected to be approximately DKK 250 million
