Net loss in 4Q14; below consensus. Revenue declined 7% yoy each in 4Q13 and 2013
to US$2.3b and US$8.8b respectively, dragged by lower freight rates. Net loss widened

below consensus of a US$22m loss. 2013 core EBIT was up 9% to a loss of US$167m.
Maintain BUY and reduce target price to S$1.20 from HK$1.30, based on 1.1x PB, which

efficiency would significantly improve when the renewal finishes in 2015.
