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 and drilling rigs, managing tankers, sales of vessels and real estate rents. The period from June through September is the peak travel season for passengers in the ferry operations. Chartering activities are not 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 three months of 2010

In February 2010, we committed to invest approximately GBP 80 million in a new ferry port facility at Loch Ryan in Scotland for the future development of our Scotland–Northern Ireland route. The construction work is expected to take approximately 20 months and be completed in 2012. A Harbor Empowerment Order (HEO) to allow the creation of the new port has been granted by the Scottish government.

In February 2010, we entered into an agreement to sell the RoPax vessel Götaland, with delivery scheduled for September 2010.

In March 2010, we issued a ten-year bond in the amount of EUR 200 million with a coupon of 7.875% and maturity in 2020.

On March 26, 2010, a redemption notice was sent to the holders of our 7.5% Senior Notes due 2013 whereby all outstanding notes in the aggregate of USD 153 million were redeemed in April 2010 at a price of 102.5% of par value.

In the first quarter of 2010, we sold properties for a gain of SEK 4 million.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2010, Stena Renewable acquired five new wind power systems near Härnösand, Sweden, for a cash price of SEK 30 million.

On May 7, 2010 the first of our two superferries, to be named Stena Hollandica, was delivered from the German shipyard Wadan Yards in Wismar. The vessel went into operation on the Hoek van Holland/Harwich route in mid May. The second vessel is estimated to be delivered in the third quarter of 2010.When these superferries arrive, the current Stena Hollandica and Stena Britannica will be moved from the North Sea to the Göteborg–Kiel routeand the current Stena Germanica and Stena Scandinavica will then be moved to the Karlskrona– Gdynia route. All four vessels will undergo extensive renovations and the two routes will experience positive changes.

In May 2010, a Suezmax tanker was ordered from Samsung, South Korea, for delivery in 2013.

In May 2010, Stena RoRo has, on behalf of Stena Line, reached an agreement with Marine Atlantic to charter Stena Trader and Stena Traveller, currently operating between Hoek van Holland and Killingholme, for five years with the right to extend the agreement for two five-year periods. Marine Atlantic is a Canadian Federal Crown Corporation and is responsible for the ferry crossing between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. The vessels will be customized according to Marine Atlantic’s requirements. Marine Atlantic also has the right to purchase the vessels.

Currency effects

The Company's revenues and expenses, reported in Swedish kronor, are significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, primarily relative to the U.S. dollar, the British pound (GBP) and the Euro. We seek to mitigate the impact of potential adverse foreign currency exchange fluctuations by matching, to the extent possible, revenues and expenses in the same currency. In addition, we enter into certain derivative financial instruments. Although the Company seeks to hedge the net effect of such fluctuations, our reported gross revenues and expenses are influenced by changes in the currency rates. In the three months ended March 31, 2010, approximately 37% of the Company's total revenues were generated in U.S. dollars, approximately 24% were generated in SEK, approximately 16% were generated in Euros and approximately 10% of the Company’s total revenues were generated in GBP. Also, approximately 26% of the Company's total expenses were incurred in U.S. dollars, approximately 32% in SEK, approximately 15% in GBP and approximately 12 % of the Company’s total expenses were incurred in Euros. The exchange rates as used for consolidation purposes are as follows:

Average rates:	Jan-Mar		Jan-Mar		Change
	2009		2010

US $		7.6457		7.1918		(9)%
British pound		11.9260		11.2133		(6)%

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED

MARCH 31, 2009

Revenues

Total revenues decreased SEK 829 million, or 13%, in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to SEK 5,739 million from SEK 6,568 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009, as a result of reduced revenues in all segments except for property operations, together with the weakening of the U.S. dollar, the Euro and the GBP against the SEK.

Ferry operations. Ferry revenues are primarily generated from ticket sales, freight haulage and on board sales. Revenues from ferry operations decreased SEK 168 million, or 9%, in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to SEK 1,651 million from SEK 1,819 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009, mainly due to lower freight haulage revenues as a consequence from lower freight volumes. Revenues also decreased as an effect of the weakening of the Euro and the GBP against the SEK.

Drilling. Drilling revenues consist of charter hires for our drilling rigs. Revenues from drilling operations decreased SEK 357 million, or 16%, in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to SEK 1,838 million from SEK 2,195 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009, mainly due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the SEK, a planned off hire period for Stena Don, which undertooka five-year special periodic survey in the first quarter of 2010, and the delivery of the bareboat chartered drilling unit Songa Dee to its owners Songa Offshore AS in March 2009, offset by operations of the third DrillMAX vessel, Stena Forth, delivered in August 2009.

Shipping. Shipping revenues primarily represent charter hires for our owned and chartered in vessels and management fees for vessels managed by us.

Adjusted EBITDA	1,198	972	134

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from operations plus cash dividends received from affiliated companies, interest income, depreciation and amortization, minority interest and non-cash charges minus aggregate gains on vessel dispositions to the extent such gains exceed 25% of Adjusted EBITDA net of all such gains. Information concerning Adjusted EBITDA is included because it conforms to the definition of Consolidated Cash Flow in the indentures governing our Senior Notes. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure in accordance with IFRS and should not be used as an alternative to cash flows or as a measure of liquidity and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows contained in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.
