- **Q3 Results Beat Expectations**: $1.8B revenue, $123M net income, and 33% EBITDA margin despite 36% YoY revenue decline. Dividend of $0.31/share declared.
- **Fleet Modernization**: 70% of fleet now newbuild, with 10 LNG vessels on order. 2025 capacity reduced by 10% via vessel redeliveries.
- **Strategic Growth**: Southeast Asia and Latin America volumes up 3.5% and 2.4% YoY, offsetting Transpacific weakness.
- **Suez Canal Risk/Reward**: Resumption could cut costs by 10-15% but may depress rates as 3M+ TEU of new capacity enters market in 2027.
- **2025 Guidance Raised**: EBITDA midpoint increased to $2.1B, reflecting strong first-half performance despite Q4 weakness.

**【CEO Summary Section】**
- **Q3 Financial Highlights**: Revenue of $1.8 billion, net income of $123 million, adjusted EBITDA of $593 million (33% margin), and adjusted EBIT of $260 million (15% margin). Dividend of $0.31 per share ($37 million total) declared, representing 30% of Q3 net income.
- **Strategic Fleet Adjustments**: Redelivered 22 vessels in 2025 to reduce capacity by 80,000 TEU, focusing on modern, LNG-powered vessels. 10 new 11,500 TEU LNG vessels scheduled for delivery in 2027-2028.
- **Market Diversification**: Expanded presence in Southeast Asia and Latin America to offset Transpacific volume decline. Q3 Transpacific volume down 1.5% YoY but up 17% sequentially.
- **Suez Canal Update**: Preparing to resume Suez Canal operations post-ceasefire, with potential cost savings but risk of rate pressure from increased capacity.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- **Financial Performance**: Q3 free cash flow of $574 million, total debt reduced by $369 million YoY. 70% of fleet consists of newbuild vessels (46 delivered 2023-2024), with 25 vessels having purchase options post-charter.
- **Guidance Update**: Full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance raised to $2.0-2.2 billion (midpoint +$100 million), EBIT to $700-900 million. Q4 outlook weaker due to supply-demand imbalance and Suez Canal reopening.
- **Cost Management**: Operated capacity reduced to 710,000 TEU (from 780,000 TEU at year-start), with 80,000 TEU redelivered in 2025. 2026 vessel renewals expected to remain cautious amid elevated charter rates.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Dividend Policy**: 30% of quarterly net income distributed, with potential special dividends if results exceed expectations. 2025 dividend total of $1.1 billion, including $5.7 billion since IPO.
- **Suez Canal Timing**: Insurance approval pending, but operational plan prepared for near-term resumption. Shorter routes could reduce costs by 10-15% but may depress rates.
- **2026 Outlook**: Supply growth (3.1M TEU in 2027) expected to outpace demand, with decarbonization efforts accelerating vessel scrapping. Latin America and Southeast Asia growth offsetting Transpacific weakness.
- **Cost Expectations**: 2026 vessel renewals likely to remain cautious, with focus on efficient, green tonnage. Amortization expenses expected to rise due to new equipment and IT investments.
