Profit after tax for first quarter 2004 was DKK 1,096 mill., including value adjustment on the NORDEN investment of DKK 847 mill. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2004 was DKK 333 mill. (as against DKK 153 mill. for the first quarter 2003). The increase was primarily the result of the net effect of higher freight rates achieved by the Tanker Division, a strong increase in freight rates in the Bulk Division, an increased number of available operating days for both the Tanker and Bulk divisions due to the delivery of vessels, countered by a 14% reduction in the USD/DKK exchange rate in comparison with first quarter 2003. Profit before depreciation was DKK 317 mill. (DKK 139 mill.). Depreciation was DKK 50 mill. (DKK 44 mill.). The increased depreciation is brought about by an increase in the Company's fleet through the delivery of three product tanker newbuildings and two second hand bulk carriers in the period April 2003 to March 2004, offset by the lower USD/DKK exchange rate. Net financial items were positive by DKK 829 mill. (DKK 6 mill.). These included net gains on securities - primarily the NORDEN shares - of DKK 851 mill., net interest expense of DKK 16 mill. less other financial items of minus DKK 6 mill. Profit before tax was DKK 1,096 mill. (DKK 101 mill.). Profit after tax was DKK 1,096 mill. (DKK 101 mill.) The Tanker Division's net profit was DKK 125 mill. whilst the Bulk division showed a net profit of DKK 121 mill. Other activities - primarily unallocated financial items - generated after tax profits of DKK 850 mill. Cash flow from operating activities was positive by DKK 308 mill. during the first quarter of 2004 and consisted primarily of cash operating earnings. Cash flow from investments was negative by DKK 311 mill., mainly consisting of investments in fixed assets, primarily vessels. Cash flow from financing activities was DKK 154 mill. for the first quarter of 2004. This amount consists primarily of loan draw-downs in connection with the delivery of newbuildings and second hand vessels totalling DKK 425 mill., less repayments of mortgage and leasing debt of DKK 250 mill. Net cash flow for the first quarter of 2004 was DKK 151 mill. The Company's cash and bond holdings totalled DKK 630 mill. against DKK 479 mill. at the end of 2003. Total assets rose during the quarter from DKK 4,894 mill. to DKK 6,228 mill. primarily due to an increase in fixed assets during the period from DKK 4,169 mill. to DKK 5,354 mill. This positive effect was principally the result of the delivery in January 2004 of TORM Estrid, the increase in the value of the NORDEN investment and the increase in the USD/DKK exchange, offset by depreciation during the period. The investment in NORDEN is valued at a price of DKK 2,469 per share, which was the closing price on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange as at 31 March 2004. The Company's net interest bearing debt increased during the first quarter of 2004 from DKK 1,698 mill. to DKK 1,774 mill. The increase is primarily the result of net loan draw-downs in connection with the delivery of newbuildings, countered by the positive cash flow for the period. During the first quarter of 2004, equity rose from DKK 2,464 mill. to DKK 3,559 mill. mainly brought about by earnings during the period. The percentage of equity to total assets rose from 50.3% as at 31 December 2003 to 57.1% as at 31 March 2004. As at 31 March 2004, TORM owned 787,376 own shares, which is equivalent to 4.3% of the Company's share capital. The number of owned shares decreased from 881,368 shares as at 31 December 2003 as a result of exercise of options under the Company's share incentive programme. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q1 2004 - segment information (DKK mill.)

Freight rates were at a high level during the first quarter of 2004, which usually is the case during the winter season. Economic growth and a high oil price contributed to keeping continually low stocks of refined products, which combined with a relatively cold winter in parts of North America all contributed to healthy freight rate levels for the Tanker Division. Compared with the first quarter of 2003, rates were respectively 2% lower and 20% and 17% higher for the LR2, the LR1 and the MR segments. The first three months of 2004 compared with the same period in 2003 were not affected to the same degree by individual factors but still resulted in very firm rates. The combined activity level for the Tanker Division expressed in terms of available earning days rose by 21% during the first quarter of 2004 as against the same period last year. In the LR2 segment, the number of available earning days rose by 69% from first quarter 2003 to first quarter 2004 as a result of the delivery of two newbuildings towards the end of 2003. In the LR1 segment, the increase was 37%, reflecting the delivery of the TORM Estrid in January 2004, whilst a marginal increase in the number of earning days in the MR segment was brought about by the delivery of two newbuildings during the first quarter of 2003, and the delivery of TORM Alice in February 2004.

THE BULK DIVISION The Bulk Division achieved profits after tax of DKK 121 mill. for the first quarter of 2004. Freight rates in the dry bulk market were at an exceptionally high level during the first quarter of 2004 albeit there was a decreasing trend towards the end of the quarter and into the second quarter. The high rates for the period were primarily the result of very strong demand from China coupled with a significant increase in waiting time in many ports. Freight rates for the first quarter were 153% and 112% respectively higher for TORM's Panamax and Handysize vessels compared to first quarter 2003. When freight rates began to rise significantly towards the end of September 2003, TORM began to cover available earning days for 2004. This has contributed to ensuring less volatile earnings for the current year. The number of available earning days during first quarter 2004 as compared with first quarter of 2003 increased by 19% for TORM's Panamax fleet as a result of the chartering-in of additional tonnage, whilst in the Handysize segment, one vessel was redelivered during 2003, which accounts for the decrease of 15% in the number of available earning days in this segment.

UNALLOCATED Unallocated items consist of an amount of DKK 850 mill. which is made up of unallocated financial items including the unrealised gain on the NORDEN holding of DKK 847 mill. Unallocated items furthermore consist of minor items connected with adjustments related to the Liner activity, which was sold in 2002. FLEET DEVELOPMENT During the first quarter of 2004, TORM took delivery of the LR1 product tanker TORM Estrid, and during the same period exercised purchase options on two time-chartered vessels, TORM Baltic and TORM Marlene at favourable prices. These two vessels will be delivered in the second quarter 2004. During the period, TORM also purchased the MR product tanker TORM Alice from the Company's pool partner Rederi AB Gotland. TORM's order book currently consists of six newbuildings (one LR1 product tanker due for delivery in the summer of 2004 and five LR2 product tankers for delivery during 2006-2008) with a total value of more than USD 200 mill. Since the end of 2003, vessel values have generally increased substantially both for tankers and bulk carriers. The certification of the Company's ships to conform to the so-called ISPS code, which consists of a number of security requirements aimed at the risk of terrorism described in the Annual Report 2003, is proceeding according to plan. As such, more than two thirds of vessels under TORM's technical management are already certified, with the remainder expected to have certification in place well ahead of the 1 July 2004 deadline. CHINA In recent years, ship owners have placed great emphasis on the Chinese market. Within the dry bulk segment, the primary reason for the significant increases in freight rates have to a very large degree been the result of a vast increase in the import to China of raw materials, especially iron ore. China is now also the world's second largest consumer of oil and a gradual liberalisation in the import of clean petroleum products is expected to lead to an increase in the import of refined products to the country. In 2003 alone, the import of clean petroleum products to China increased by 50%. China's demand is, however, not as crucial in the product tanker market, as the import of refined products is limited, though rapidly increasing. After the end of the first quarter of 2004, the Chinese authorities adopted a number of measures aimed at avoiding the risk of overheating in the Chinese economy. These measures are expected to result in a more modest Chinese growth for the remainder of 2004, but in the medium to long term, the outlook for both the Chinese and far eastern markets generally continue to look promising for shipping. TORM has during the first quarter of 2004 strengthened the Company's existing organisation in Singapore. The majority of the Company's activities today is in the Far East and Middle East and as such, an increased presence will support continued growth in this market. CREWING In order to achieve greater control over key elements of ship operations, TORM has decided to open its own office in the Philippines and thereby even better than previously control the recruitment and training of Filipino officers and seamen. To date, this has been handled by a local crewing agency. PRODUCT TANKER POOLS The three product tanker pools consisted of a total of 63 ships as per 31 March 2004. During the first quarter 2004, the net increase in the three pools was two vessels. Based on the delivery of vessels already on order, the three pools will consist of 76 vessels by the end of 2004. There are on-going discussions with a number of potential partners about the possibility of participating in the three pools. EXPECTATIONS FOR 2004 Freight rates for the first quarter of 2004 and the beginning of the second quarter of 2004 for the Tanker Division has been higher than expected in the 2003 Annual Report. The improved freight rate picture is due to the combination of satisfactory economic growth, historically low inventories for refined oil products, together with the removal from the market of a significant number of older, single hulled tankers due for demolition. The increase in demolition is due not only to the less favourable trading conditions for this type of vessel, but also to the very high scrap prices - reflecting the strong demand for steel. In the Bulk Division, freight rates for the first quarter 2004 was in line with the expectations expressed in the 2003 Annual Report, but were below expectations in the beginning of the second quarter 2004. Due to a slow start to the grain export from South America combined with Chinese action to dampen the rapid growth in the economy freight rates were falling towards the end of first quarter and into second quarter 2004. However, freight rates are still at an attractive level. 76% of the available earning days of the Company's Panamax bulk vessels in 2004 were covered at an average rate of USD 24,750 per day, as at 30 April 2004. The measures taken in China lead to expectations of a continued strong demand and thereby attractive freight rate levels, as the addition of newbuildings to the world fleet in the period 2004-06 in both Panamax and Handysize is limited. Expectations for TORM's profit before tax is minimum DKK 750-800 mill., excluding value adjustments to the NORDEN shareholding. The unrealised gain on the NORDEN holding in 2004 was as at 18 May 2004 DKK 506 mill., based on a NORDEN shares price of DKK 2,000/share. The forecast is based on a USD/DKK exchange rate of 6.00. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAFE HARBOUR STATEMENT - FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements.
