Derivative financial instruments assets are offset against derivative financial instruments liabilities where the counterparty is identical,

where TORM has legal right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis.

Hedging of risks with derivative financial instruments is made with a ratio of 1:1 and where hedge items can be a portion of exposure.

Sources of ineffectiveness are mainly derived from differences in timing and interest base rate. Any ineffective portions of the cash flow

hedges are recognized in the income statement as financial items. Value adjustments of the effective part of cash flow hedges are

recognized directly to other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are transferred upon realization from the

hedging reserve into the income statement.

FFAs are used to mitigate fluctuations in the freight rates of vessels with a duration of 0-24 months. The FFAs are not designated for

hedge accounting.

Forward exchange contracts with a fair value of $0.9m (net gain) are designated as hedge accounting relationships to hedge a part of

TORM payments in 2026 regarding administrative and operating expenses denominated in DKK with a notional value of DKK 341.3m

TORM only enters into interest derivatives under established ISDA agreements supported with or without credit support annexes with

predefined credit thresholds.

Cash collateral of $5.4m (2024: $11.3m, 2023: $27.9m) has been provided as security for the agreements relating to derivative financial

instruments, which does not meet the offsetting criteria in IAS 32, but which can be offset against the net amount of the derivative asset

and derivative liability in case of default, and insolvency, or bankruptcy in accordance with associated collateral arrangements.

Accounting Policies

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Derivative financial instruments, primarily forward currency exchange contracts, forward freight agreements, interest rate hedges, and

forward contracts regarding bunker purchases are entered into to mitigate risks relating to future fluctuations in prices and interest rates,

etc. on future committed or anticipated transactions. TORM applies hedge accounting under the specific rules on cash flow hedges,

when appropriate, as described below for each type of derivative.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges and deemed to be effective are recognized

directly in “Other comprehensive income”. When the hedged transaction is recognized in the income statement, the cumulative value

adjustment recognized in “Other comprehensive income” is transferred to the income statement and included in the same line as the

hedged transaction. Portion of the changes in fair value deemed to be ineffective is recognized immediately in the income statement.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges are recognized in the income statement. While

effectively reducing cash flow risk in accordance with the Company’s Risk Management Policy, certain forward freight agreements and

forward contracts regarding bunker purchases do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in fair value of these derivative financial

instruments are therefore recognized in the income statement under “Financial income” or “Financial expenses” for interest rate swaps

and under “Port expenses, bunkers and commissions” for forward freight agreements and forward bunker contracts.
