Rhea-AI Filing Summary
ZIM Integrated Shipping Services reported first quarter 2026 revenues of $1.40 billion, down from $2.01 billion a year earlier as freight rates and carried volumes declined. The company swung from a net profit of $296 million to a net loss of $86 million, with operating loss (EBIT) of $18 million. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $313 million, and free cash flow to $235 million, though margins remained positive on this basis. Cash and investments declined to $2.54 billion as of March 31, 2026, while net debt inched up to $2.93 billion and the net leverage ratio rose to 1.7x. In light of the quarterly loss, ZIM will not pay a dividend for the period. The company highlighted cost pressures from volatile bunker prices but expects mitigation from higher freight rates and its LNG-powered fleet. ZIM also emphasized a pending all‑cash merger under which Hapag‑Lloyd will acquire ZIM for $35.00 per share, approved by shareholders and expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory and special state share approvals.
Positive
- A definitive merger agreement with Hapag-Lloyd will provide ZIM shareholders with an all-cash consideration of $35.00 per share, subject to regulatory and special state share approvals.
- ZIM continues to generate positive adjusted EBITDA of $313 million and free cash flow of $235 million in Q1 2026 despite weaker market conditions.
- Approximately 40% of ZIM’s fleet capacity is LNG-powered, positioning the company with a more fuel-efficient and lower-emission fleet as bunker costs and environmental requirements evolve.
Negative
- First quarter 2026 revenues fell from $2.01 billion to $1.40 billion, driven by lower freight rates and volumes, signaling a materially softer operating environment.
- ZIM moved from net income of $296 million in Q1 2025 to a net loss of $86 million in Q1 2026, with EBIT turning negative.
- Net cash from operating activities dropped from $855 million to $263 million, and the company’s net leverage ratio rose from 1.3x to 1.7x, indicating reduced financial headroom.
- In light of its Q1 2026 net loss, ZIM will not pay a dividend for the quarter, reducing near-term cash returns to shareholders.
Insights
Results weakened sharply, but an agreed $35 cash takeover sets a clear endpoint.
ZIM saw a significant earnings reversal in Q1 2026. Revenue dropped from $2.01 billion to $1.40 billion as average freight rates fell from $1,776/TEU to $1,310/TEU and carried volume declined. Net income of $296 million turned into a net loss of $86 million.
Cash generation also weakened: net cash from operating activities fell from $855 million to $263 million, while free cash flow declined to $235 million. Net debt edged up to $2.93 billion and the net leverage ratio increased from 1.3% to 1.7%. The company suspended dividends for the quarter.
Strategically, an Agreement and Plan of Merger signed on February 16, 2026 would see Hapag‑Lloyd acquire ZIM for $35.00 per share in cash, subject to regulatory and special state share approvals. Shareholders approved the deal on April 30, 2026, and closing is targeted for Q4 2026. Operationally, ZIM is leaning on its roughly 40% LNG‑powered capacity and new offerings like ZIM on Air while managing geopolitical and fuel‑cost risks.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 was 313 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Adjusted EBIT financial
"Adjusted EBIT loss was 5 million for the first quarter of 2026"
Adjusted EBIT is a company’s operating profit before interest and taxes, but cleaned up by removing one-time or unusual items that can obscure ongoing performance. Investors use it like a tidied-up report card — it aims to show the underlying profitability of the business by excluding irregular gains, losses, or costs so comparisons across periods or companies are clearer and more meaningful for valuing operational strength.
Free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow 1 ($ in millions) 235 787"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Net leverage ratio financial
"ZIM's net leverage ratio as of March 31, 2026, was 1.7x"
The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.
Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory
"the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, Hapag-Lloyd AG"
An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.

Haifa, Israel, May 20, 2026 – 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 months
ended March 31, 2026.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights
| • |
Net loss for the first quarter was $86 million (compared to a net income of $296 million in the first quarter of 2025), or diluted loss per share of $0.712 (compared to diluted earnings per share of $2.45 in the first quarter of

Operating loss (EBIT) for the first quarter was $18 million, compared to operating income of $464 million in the first quarter of 2025.
|
| • |
Adjusted EBIT loss for the first quarter was $5 million, compared to Adjusted EBIT of $463 million in the first quarter of 2025.
|
| • |
Revenues for the first quarter were $1.40 billion, a year-over-year decrease of 30%.
|

Carried volume in the first quarter was 866 thousand TEUs, a year-over-year decrease of 8%.
|
| • |

1 See "Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures." A reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to its closest respective IFRS measure is provided in the tables below.
2 The number of shares used to calculate the diluted earnings per share is 120,477,221. The number of outstanding shares as of March 31, 2026 was 120,519,658.
Eli Glickman, ZIM President & CEO, stated, “Our first quarter results were broadly in line with our
expectations, reflecting a softer freight rate environment, coupled with weaker demand. Importantly, as the proposed transaction with Hapag-Lloyd moves forward and we continue to navigate the ongoing hostilities affecting Israel and the Middle East,
ZIM remains firmly focused on service reliability and disciplined execution. We appreciate the strong support of our valued customers, who have remained engaged and constructive throughout this period.”
Mr. Glickman added, “The conflict in the Persian Gulf has sparked a sharp increase and significant volatility in bunkering costs. While the impact on first quarter results was minimal, we expect a more meaningful
effect in the second quarter, before our actions to offset these costs, including increased freight rates and bunker-specific surcharges, begin to take hold. It is also important to note that ZIM is likely to see incremental benefits from our early
adoption of LNG technology and long-term agreements with Shell securing LNG supply on competitive terms. With a fleet comprised of approximately 40% LNG-powered capacity, ZIM not only offers shippers a pathway to significantly reduced carbon
emissions but maintains a fuel-efficient and cost-effective fleet.”
“Although market fundamentals remain challenging across
ZIM’s main trade lanes, we have recently observed a positive change in the trend on the Transpacific trade with freight rates strengthening alongside demand. If this momentum continues, we expect it to support our financial performance,
particularly in the second half of the year. In parallel, we completed annual contract negotiations, which went into effect on May 1, maintaining similar contracted volumes to last year with approximately 65% of our Transpacific volume exposed
to spot rates. This approach underpins our nimble commercial strategy and allows us to stay agile and proactive in deploying capacity as demand patterns shift. Moreover, initiatives such as ZIM on Air, a newly launched
service that provides combined sea and air shipping from Asia to the U.S and Europe, underscore our innovative spirit and ability to deliver differentiated solutions. We continue to receive very positive feedback from both existing and new
customers who rely on ZIM to meet their evolving shipping needs.”
Mr. Glickman concluded, “Pending completion of the proposed transaction with Hapag-Lloyd, which remains subject to approvals by various regulatory
authorities including the State of Israel, our commitment to operational excellence and customer service remains unchanged. The strength of our organization begins with our people, and I thank the exceptional ZIM team for its dedication and service
especially during this turbulent time. With our improved cost base and modernized fleet, we believe we have built a business that is well positioned to weather near-term headwinds and support long-term profitable growth.”

Financial and Operating Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2026
Total revenues were $1.40 billion for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $2.01 billion for the first quarter of 2025, mainly driven by a decrease in
freight rates, as well as in carried volume.
ZIM carried 866 thousand TEUs in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 944 thousand TEUs in the first quarter of 2025. The average freight rate per TEU was $1,310 for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1,776 for

- 3 -
Operating loss (EBIT) for the first quarter of 2026 was $18 million, compared to operating income of $464 million for the first quarter of 2025. The
decrease was driven primarily by the above-mentioned decrease in revenues.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $86 million, compared to net income of $296 million for the first quarter of 2025, driven primarily by the
above-mentioned decrease in revenues, partially offset by the change in income taxes.

for the first quarter of 2026, compared to Adjusted EBIT of $463 million for the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT margins for the first quarter of 2026 were 22% and 0%, respectively. This compares to 39% and 23% for the first
quarter of 2025, respectively.

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 IFRS as measures of
profitability or liquidity. Please note that Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account debt service requirements or other commitments, as well as 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 (or the reversal of which), capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of
business, expenses related to legal contingencies and acquisition related expenses (compensation costs and professional fees).
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 (or the reversal of which), capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary
course of business, expenses related to legal contingencies and acquisition related expenses (compensation costs and professional fees).
- 7 -
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.

In a Special Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 30, 2026, among several topics on the agenda, the proposed Merger transaction was
approved. The completion of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, obtaining the approval in connection with the Special State Share, and other regulatory approvals required.
Upon the completion of the merger, if completed, each issued and outstanding ordinary share of the Company, excluding the Special State
Share, will automatically be converted into the right to receive $35.00 per share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). At that time, the Company Shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Estimates
|
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant
judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the principal assumptions used in the estimation of uncertainties were the same as those applied in the annual Financial Statements.

Material accounting policies
|
The material accounting policies applied by the Group in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements are the
same as those applied by the Group in its 2025 annual Financial Statements.

Financial position
|
| (a) |
The container shipping industry continues to be impacted by the supply and demand dynamics, as well as by uncertainties in the global trade, including the implications of the ongoing armed conflicts in the Middle-East and between Russia
and Ukraine, the recent disruption in the strait of Hormuz and the continuing disruption in the Red Sea, the changing, and sometimes escalating, trade barriers between the US and China and other countries and other geopolitical challenges.
Furthermore, in February 2026, a US Supreme Court ruling determined that certain tariffs imposed by the Trump administration pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act are invalid, adding uncertainty and confusion to the
business environment. These factors contribute to the continuing volatility in freight rates, charter rates and bunker prices (including the recent surge in bunker prices, due to the implications of the above-mentioned armed conflict in the
Middle-East and the related disruption in the strait of Hormuz). In addition, regulators in certain jurisdictions continue to enforce enhanced regulatory oversight activities over our industry.
|
In October 2025, following meetings held between the US and China administrations, both countries announced a mutual one-year
suspension, as from November 10, 2025, in respect of substantial fees previously declared to be imposed on China-related vessels calling US ports and US-related vessels calling China ports.
Since October 2023, Israel has been subject to a prolonged war situation, including a direct armed conflict with Iran that was
concluded in June 2025, as well as the more recent armed conflict between Iran and the combined forces of the U.S. and Israel, which began on February 28, 2026, and as of mid-May 2026, resulted with a cease-fire aiming to achieve a long-term
agreement between the involved countries. In parallel, Israel initiated a military operation in the south of Lebanon against Hizballah, while holding preliminary negotiations for a permanent cease-fire with the State of Lebanon. To date, this
situation has had no material impact on the Company’s activities in Israel. However, those may be subject to temporary disruptions if this situation was to further escalate.

Financial position (cont’d)
|
Further to the above, during 2025 freight rates have experienced an overall decrease, while demonstrating
high level of volatility as certain markets reacted to announcements on tariffs issued by the U.S administration. During the first quarter of 2026, freight rates demonstrated mixed trends, also corresponding with the above-mentioned market
uncertainties.
| (b) |
Charter agreements:
As of today, the Company has secured the future delivery of 40 vessels, out of which 36 are new-built vessels, ten are liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel vessels,
and ten are scrubber-fitted vessels. The vessels, with capacities ranging from 3,000 TEU to 11,500 TEU, are scheduled to be delivered towards the end of 2026 and through 2028 and will be deployed across the Company’s various global trades
(see also Note 26 to the Company’s 2025 annual financial statements).
|
| (c) |
In April 2026, the Company was approached by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) due to the inclusion of the Company in an industry-related investigation launched, regarding potentially discriminating practices among carriers in respect
of hazardous cargo. At this preliminary stage, the Company cannot assess the outcome of this matter, if any.
|
| (d) |
Following the announcement of the merger agreement between the Company and Hapag Llyod on February 16, 2026 (see also Note 1), and further to the labor dispute previously declared by the employees’ unions at the Company’s head office (in
respect of a potential involvement of the Company in a merger transaction), the employees’ union intensified its measures in opposition to the merger transaction, and commenced strike measures that caused temporary interruptions, which as of
today has had no material impact on the Company’s activities. The Company and the employees’ union are currently negotiating with the aim of reaching a collective bargaining agreement with respect to the merger transaction.
|
| (e) |
A recent regulation adopted in China, which came into effect in May 2026, advises that cargo carriage contracts where the cargo originated from or is scheduled to arrive to China, should be governed by Chinese law, and disputes regarding
such contracts should be tried by Chinese courts. The Company is assessing the impact of the new regulation over the Company and its customers.
|
| (f) |
Dividends:
In March 2026, further to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company distributed a dividend in an amount of US$ 106 million, reflecting US$ 0.88
per ordinary share.

FAQ
How did ZIM (ZIM) perform financially in Q1 2026?
ZIM reported Q1 2026 revenue of $1.40 billion, down from $2.01 billion a year earlier. The company posted a net loss of $86 million versus prior net income of $296 million, mainly due to lower freight rates and reduced carried volumes.
What were ZIM (ZIM) freight rates and volumes in Q1 2026?
In Q1 2026, ZIM carried 866 thousand TEUs, compared with 944 thousand TEUs in Q1 2025. The average freight rate declined to $1,310 per TEU from $1,776 per TEU, reflecting a softer rate environment and weaker demand across key trade lanes.
What is the status of the Hapag-Lloyd acquisition of ZIM (ZIM)?
ZIM entered a merger agreement where Hapag-Lloyd will acquire ZIM for $35.00 per share in cash. The deal was approved by ZIM shareholders on April 30, 2026 and is expected to close in Q4 2026, pending regulatory and special state share approvals.
How strong is ZIM’s (ZIM) balance sheet and leverage after Q1 2026?
As of March 31, 2026, ZIM held $2.54 billion in total cash and investments and reported net debt of $2.93 billion. The company’s net leverage ratio increased to 1.7x, up from 1.3x at December 31, 2025, reflecting lower earnings.
Did ZIM (ZIM) declare a dividend based on its Q1 2026 results?
No. Under its dividend policy, ZIM will not pay a dividend for Q1 2026 because it recorded a net loss. Future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board and are also restricted by the merger agreement with Hapag-Lloyd.
What were ZIM’s (ZIM) cash flow and free cash flow in Q1 2026?
ZIM generated $262.7 million of net cash from operating activities in Q1 2026, down from $854.7 million a year earlier. After capital expenditures, free cash flow was $235 million, compared with $787 million in Q1 2025.
How is ZIM (ZIM) addressing fuel cost volatility and environmental concerns?
ZIM noted sharp bunker cost volatility due to conflict in the Persian Gulf and is introducing higher freight rates and bunker surcharges. It highlighted benefits from early adoption of LNG technology, with about 40% of fleet capacity LNG-powered, improving fuel efficiency and emissions.
