Business Editors

COPENHAGEN Copenhagen (kō`pənhā'gən, –hä'gən), Dan. København (kö'bənhoun`), city (1992 pop. 464,566; metropolitan area 1,339,395), capital of Denmark and of Copenhagen co. , Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2003

A/S Dampskibsselskabet TORM A/S Dampskibsselskabet TORM or TORM (NASDAQ: TRMD), based in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a shipping company that owns and operates product tankers and bulk carriers. TORM's company's tankers carry refined oil products such as gasoline, jet fuel, naphtha and diesel oil.  
-- Net profit for 2002 was DKK 475 mill. (DKK 388 mill. for 2001). Net profit for 2002 includes a DKK 63 mill. gain on the sale of the liner activity and reversal of deferred tax of DKK 360 mill. related to the Company joining the tonnage tax scheme and an unrealized gain on the shares in Dampskibsselskabet "NORDEN" A/S of DKK 8 mill.

-- Net profit for 2002 was slightly higher than TORMs expectations of a Net profit of DKK 430-440 mill. before a gain on NORDEN shares, as announced in the third quarter results. The better result, despite a lower USD/DKK exchange rate, is due to higher freight rates, especially in December 2002.

-- Earnings before depreciation (EBITDA) were DKK 352 mill. (DKK 814 mill. in 2001).

-- Earnings before financial items (EBIT) were DKK 207 mill. (DKK 655 mill. in 2001).

-- Shareholders' equity at 31 December 2002 was DKK 1,719 mill. (DKK 920 mill. in 2001).

-- TORM was listed on NASDAQ in April 2002, and TORM maintained its listing on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange.

-- In July 2002, a public offer to purchase all the shares of NORDEN was launched.

-- TORM Lines was sold to companies within the A. P. M0ller Group in September 2002.

-- Four MR newbuilding product tankers were delivered during the year. Two LR1 newbuildings were ordered from the Hyundai yard for delivery in 2004 as part of a ten-vessel order by TORM and its pool partners. At year-end 2002, TORM had six vessels on order for delivery in 2003-2004.

-- At year-end, the three tanker pools totalled 54 vessels, and the bulk activity comprised 26 vessels. Thereof, TORM's own fleet comprised 20 vessels (2001: 17 vessels).

-- For 2003, net profit after tax in the order of DKK 120-140 mill. is expected.

-- The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of DKK 2 per share (DKK 4 per share in 2001).

-- The full annual report for 2002 can be downloaded from TORM's website www.torm.dk, or from the Copenhagen Stock Exchange site www.xcse.dk.
