Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners, comments: "Q3 is another strongquarter,however, our operating costs have been adversely impacted by weakening tradebalance, a trend that is likely to persist."

OutlookTariffs may over time result in lower volumes transported. Significant changesto new U.S. port fees were announced 10 October with implementation from 14October. The yearly impact is estimated to ~USD 60-70 million, the Company isworking diligently to mitigate the impact.

Q4 operational performance is projected slightly below the Q3 EBITDA. Inaddition, USTR impact is expected to be ~USD 20 million for the quarter.

Höegh Autoliners has adjusted the calculation method for its dividenddistributions to reflect actual cash generated above a targeted minimum cashbalance at the end of each preceding quarter. The underlying dividend policyremains unchanged, with the intent to distribute all excess cash generation.This adjustment reflects the need to navigate a rapidly changing marketenvironment with reduced visibility and supports strengthened liquiditymanagement. As a result, there will be a one-off periodization of payouts,reducing the distribution for Q3 2025. As of the reporting date, the Companyhasno other intended uses for capital allocation beyond shareholderdistributions.

Please find attached the Q3 2025 report. The results will also be presented byCEO Andreas Enger and CFO Espen Stubberud at 08:30 CET today. The presentationwill be held in English, and a recorded version of the webcast will be madeavailable on our website soon after the webcast ends.
