Other investments EBITDA was NOK -42 million (NOK -21 million).

Depreciation in the quarter was NOK -337 million (NOK -265 million). The
increase is mainly due to a loss on disposal of NOK 102 mill of the old crane
for Bold Tern. In Renewable Energy the depreciation is lower compared to last
year due to extension of the lifetime of the wind farms from 1 January 2022.

An impairment charge was made in the quarter of NOK 456 million. The impairment
is in Cruise and is impacted by the challenging market situation, higher
operating expenses in the cruise industry in combination with increased discount

Olsen Renewables (FOR), ii) exchange rate differences of NOK 105 million (NOK -1

million). The latter is mainly related to dividend paid out by Otello
