Stena AB and Consolidated Subsidiaries

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Company generates revenue primarily from ferry operations, chartering out its owned, chartered-in and leased Roll-on/Roll-off vessels, tankers, LNG carriers and drilling rigs, managing tankers, sales of vessels, income from New Businesses and real estate rents. The period from June through September is the peak travel season for passengers of the ferry operations. Chartering activities are not generally significantly affected by seasonal fluctuations, but variations over the year may occur as a consequence of, among other things, vessel utilization rates, dry-docking and charter rates. Any sale or acquisition of vessels, drilling rigs and real estate also may have an impact on the results of each period.

Highlights of the first six months of 2012

As from January 1, 2012, LNG is a new business area within shipping in the Stena AB Group.

In January 2012, we acquired a commercial property, with a total size of approximately 5,000 square meters, in London, United Kingdom for a total investment of GBP 22 million.

The increase mainly reflects that the rig Stena DrillMAX Ice started to operate on June 15, 2012 and extra costs during off hire period for Stena Clyde, offset by that the rig Stena Spey, which were unutilized for the first two months of 2012, together with the reduction of operating expenses reflecting the sale of the rig Stena Tay in the end of 2011. Operating expenses were also increased as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the SEK.

The revenues and operating expenses of these vessels were previously reported gross. Operating expenses were also reduced as a result of the decreased number of vessels operated, offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the SEK. Direct operating expenses for crude oil operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were 93% of revenues, as compared to 103% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Direct operating expenses for crude oil tankers include time-charter costs, which normally are fixed for periods between 6 months and 5 years in advance, while revenues in the spot market vary with each voyage.

Direct operating expenses for property operations decreased SEK 6 million, or 1%, to SEK 439 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012, from SEK 445 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, mainly due to reduced operating expenses as a consequence of lower cost for heating due to a warmer spring in 2012, offset by operating expenses for the two new commercial properties in London and by increased vacancy rates in our property portfolio in the Netherlands.

Operating expenses also increased due to raised cost for goods sold in Blomsterlandet, which has increased its market share and also increased its number of shops. Of the total operating expenses SEK 811 million related to Ballingslöv, SEK 648 million related to Blomsterlandet, SEK 408 million related to Envac and SEK 11 million related to Stena Renewable in the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to SEK 728 million related to Ballingslöv, SEK 599 million related to Blomsterlandet, SEK 368 million related to Envac and SEK 10 million related to Stena Renewable in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The strengthening of the U.S. dollar with respect to the SEK, which primarily impacted depreciation charges on drilling rigs, which are denominated in U.S. dollars, contributed to the increase in depreciation and amortization charges.
