Outlook 2021
-
Following a very strong performance in 2020, a weak tanker market outlook leads to lower earnings expectations for 2021 and an expected Adjusted Result for 2021 in the range of USD 20 to 60 million.
CEO Jan Rindbo in comment:
"NORDEN delivered an outstanding performance in challenging and volatile markets, achieving an Adjusted Result of USD 106 million in 2020 – the best group result in 10 years. The result reflects the recent transformation of our business model and strategy to an asset-light platform based on trading opportunities, using data as an asset and strengthening our customer focus. The Board of Directors recommends a dividend payment of DKK 9 per share in line with our dividend policy of returning minimum 50% of the annual Adjusted Result to our shareholders.”
