Eli Glickman, ZIM President & CEO, stated, “ZIM delivered strong third quarter results, as we again achieved record carried volumes contributing to our outstanding financial performance. We are pleased to share our success with our shareholders and declare a special dividend of ~$100 million on top of the regular 30% of quarterly net income dividend payout of ~$340 million, for a total dividend of ~$440 million, or $3.65 per share. Our growing earnings power is reflective of a strong rate environment, but also a testament to our diligent execution, upscaling our capacity and enhancing our cost structure. We’ve continued to see incremental benefits from our strategic investment in our operated capacity as new larger, more modern, cost-effective vessels join our fleet.”
Mr. Glickman added, “Also contributing to our strong Q3 was a decision we made earlier in the year to increase our exposure to spot volumes in the Transpacific trade. A key differentiator for ZIM is our commercial agility and we intend to continue to leverage this strength to capitalize on market opportunities moving forward. Based on results that have exceeded expectations to date and improved outlook for the fourth quarter of 2024, we have increased our full year 2024 guidance and today forecast full year Adjusted EBITDA between $3.3 billion and $3.6 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $2.15 billion and $2.45 billion.”
Mr. Glickman concluded, “We will close out the year with the final delivery of the remaining four out of 46 newbuild containerships that we secured, which include 28 LNG-powered vessels. Entering 2025, we will be operating a fleet that is both well-equipped to meet emissions reduction targets and well suited to the trades in which we operate. Supported by our declining unit costs, we believe ZIM is well positioned to deliver profitable growth over the long term.”

Use of Non-IFRS Measures in the Company’s 2024 Guidance
A reconciliation of the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures included in its full-year 2024 guidance to corresponding IFRS measures is not available on a forward-looking basis. In particular, the Company has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT because the various reconciling items between such non-IFRS financial measures and the corresponding IFRS measures cannot be determined without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the future costs and expenses for which the Company adjusts, the effect of which may be significant, and all of which are difficult to predict and are subject to frequent change.
Updated Full-Year 2024 Guidance
The Company increased its guidance for the full year of 2024 and now expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA between $3.3 billion and $3.6 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $2.15 billion and $2.45 billion. Previously, the Company expected to generate Adjusted EBITDA between $2.6 billion and $3.0 billion and Adjusted EBIT between $1.45 billion and $1.85 billion.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following information contains, or may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements (as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company, may include projections of the Company’s future financial results, its anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in its business. These statements are only predictions based on the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events or results. There are important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to: market changes in freight, bunker, charter and other rates or prices (including as a result of the continued situation in the Red Sea), supply-demand fluctuations in the containerized shipping market, new legislation or regulation affecting the Company’s operations, new competition and changes in the competitive environment, our ability to achieve cost savings or expense reductions, the outcome of legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, global, regional and/or local political instability, including the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, the increased tension between Israel and Iran and its proxies, in particular the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, inflation rate fluctuations, capital markets fluctuations and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the caption “Risk Factors” in its 2023 Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 13, 2024.
Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform its prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as otherwise required by law.
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company presents non-IFRS measures as additional performance measures as the Company believes that it enables the comparison of operating performance between periods on a consistent basis. These measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for operating income, any other performance measures, or cash flow data, which were prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as measures of profitability or liquidity. Please note that Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account debt service requirements or other commitments, including capital expenditures, and therefore, does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available for the Company’s use. In addition, the non-IFRS financial measures presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way these measures are calculated.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization in order to reach EBITDA, and further adjusted, as applicable, to exclude impairment of assets, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies.
Adjusted EBIT is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net and income taxes, in order to reach our results from operating activities, or EBIT, and further adjusted, as applicable, to exclude impairment of assets, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies.
Free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net cash generated from operating activities minus capital expenditures, net.
Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as face value of short- and long-term debt, minus cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments. We refer to this measure as net cash when cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments exceed the face value of short- and long-term debt.
Net leverage ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net debt (see above) divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve-month period. When our net debt is less than zero, we report the net leverage ratio as zero.
See the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA and net cash generated from operating activities to free cash flow in the tables provided below.

HelloNation Examines Medicare Advantage & Medigap Coverage Differences, Featuring Financial Advisor Ash Toumayants
Published
29 minutes agoon
July 24, 2026By
The article reviews provider access, prescription coverage, and out-of-pocket expenses when comparing Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — How should residents evaluate whether Medicare Advantage or Medigap coverage better fits their healthcare and financial needs? HelloNation answers this question in an article that explains the key considerations involved in choosing between Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans.
The HelloNation article features insights from Financial Advisor Ash Toumayants of Strong Tower Associates. The article explains that both Medicare Advantage and Medigap supplement Original Medicare but differ significantly in how they handle healthcare providers, prescription coverage, and overall out-of-pocket expenses.
Medicare Advantage plans are typically offered through private insurers and bundles Medicare Part A, Part B, and possibly prescription coverage into a single policy. However, Medicare Advantage plans generally operate with provider networks, meaning healthcare providers must often be selected from within the plan’s approved list.
For residents across Pennsylvania, provider access can play an important role in selecting the right plan. The article explains that individuals should review which healthcare providers are included in a Medicare Advantage network before enrolling. Plan networks may vary by county in Pennsylvania, so residents should confirm that their preferred doctors and specialists are covered.
Medigap plans, also known as Medicare Supplement Insurance, operate differently from Medicare Advantage. The article explains that Medigap works alongside Original Medicare and helps cover certain out-of-pocket expenses such as copays, coinsurance, and deductibles. Although Medigap policies generally involve higher monthly premiums, they can offer greater predictability in medical expenses.
One advantage of Medigap is flexibility in choosing healthcare providers. The article explains that individuals with Medigap coverage can typically visit any doctor or specialist who accepts Medicare nationwide. This broader provider access can be beneficial for retirees who want more freedom in choosing healthcare providers across Pennsylvania or while traveling.
Prescription coverage is another important factor in the decision process. Many Medicare Advantage plans include prescription coverage as part of their bundled benefits. In contrast, Medigap plans do not include prescription coverage, which means individuals who choose Medigap often purchase a separate Medicare Part D plan to manage medication costs.
Budget considerations also influence the decision between Medicare Advantage and Medigap. The article explains that while Medicare Advantage plans may have lower premiums, they often include copays and service limits that affect annual out-of-pocket expenses. Medigap plans generally involve higher premiums but may reduce unexpected out-of-pocket expenses throughout the year.
Travel and lifestyle habits can also affect which plan is more suitable. The article explains that Medicare Advantage plans may have limitations on out-of-network care outside their coverage area. For residents in Pennsylvania who travel frequently or spend time in multiple locations, Medigap coverage may offer greater flexibility when accessing healthcare providers.
Enrollment timing is another important consideration discussed in the article. Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans have different enrollment rules and deadlines tied to the Initial Enrollment Period or the annual Medicare Open Enrollment period. Missing these enrollment opportunities can limit plan choices or result in additional underwriting requirements.
The article concludes that choosing between Medicare Advantage and Medigap in Pennsylvania requires careful evaluation of healthcare providers, prescription coverage, travel habits, budget considerations, and potential out-of-pocket expenses. Comparing plan structures and reviewing coverage details helps individuals make informed decisions that align with their healthcare and financial priorities.
How to Decide Between Medicare Advantage & Medigap features insights from Ash Toumayants, Financial Advisor of State College, PA, in HelloNation.

In HelloNation, Pool & Landscaping Expert Tina Possehn Wolbers Discusses What Pool Opening & Closing Services Include
Published

The article highlights how seasonal pool service simplifies pool maintenance and protects backyard pools year-round.
LANSING, Mich., July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What is included with pool opening and closing services, and how do they support pool ownership? The answer is explored in a HelloNation article, which features insights from Tina Possehn Wolbers of Wolbers-Possehn Pools, Ponds and Landscapes.
The HelloNation article explains that seasonal pool service plays a key role in maintaining a backyard pool throughout the year. By handling the transition between seasons, pool opening service and pool closing service make pool maintenance more manageable and allow homeowners to focus on enjoying their space.
Pool opening service marks the beginning of the swimming season. One of the first steps is removing the pool cover, which has protected the pool during colder months. The pool cover is carefully cleaned and stored, helping extend its lifespan and prepare it for future use. Once removed, the backyard pool begins to take shape as a clean and inviting environment.
Another important part of pool opening service is reconnecting and inspecting pool equipment. Pumps, filters, and circulation systems are checked to ensure they are functioning properly. This step helps restore water flow and sets the foundation for effective pool maintenance throughout the season.
Water level adjustments and water balancing are also essential components of pool opening service. Ensuring proper water levels allows systems to run efficiently, while water balancing helps create a safe and comfortable swimming environment. These steps help homeowners enjoy their backyard pool without unnecessary complications.
The article emphasizes that pool opening service and pool closing service are key components of seasonal pool service, helping simplify pool maintenance and reduce the stress of managing a pool. With a structured approach, homeowners can rely on consistent care that keeps their pool in good condition.
Pool closing service prepares the pool for colder months when it is not in use. This process includes lowering the water level to help prevent potential damage. Proper water management during pool closing service helps protect the structure and equipment over time.
Protecting plumbing lines is another critical part of pool closing service. Water is removed from pipes to prevent freezing and expansion, which could lead to damage. Taking these steps ensures that the system remains intact and ready for the next pool opening service.
Securing the pool cover completes the process. A properly fitted pool cover keeps debris out and helps maintain water quality during the off-season. It also makes the next pool opening service easier by reducing the amount of cleaning required.
Seasonal pool service provides a more predictable and low-stress experience for homeowners. Instead of handling every detail themselves, pool owners can rely on professional processes that keep their backyard pool functioning properly year after year.
Beyond maintenance, a well-cared-for backyard pool becomes a space for relaxation and connection. Whether hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet time, the pool adds value to everyday life. Pool opening service and pool closing service support that experience by keeping the pool ready when it matters most.
The HelloNation article concludes that understanding what is included in seasonal pool service helps homeowners set clear expectations and maintain their pool with confidence. With proper pool maintenance, water balancing, and use of a secure pool cover, owning a backyard pool in Lansing becomes both simple and enjoyable.
