Strong start of 2020, but increasing uncertainty beyond first half of 2020 - Focus on further strengthening KCC's robustness

Strong Q1 2020 performance and TCE earnings and positive outlook for Q2 2020 amidst of increasing operational problems due to COVID-19 situation

  • Strong CABU earnings and improving CLEANBU earnings in Q1 2020
  • Relatively smooth operation to date, but increasing operational challenges and strain on our crew
  • Positive earnings outlook for both CABU and CLEANBU in Q2 2020 despite increasing COVID-19 risks

Strong balance sheet and cash position

  • Available liquidity of USD82mn 31 March 2020
  • Fully equity financed
  • Current earnings above cash break even rates

Taking measures to improve robustness amidst uncertain COVID-19 situation

  • Increasing "wet" contract /financial coverage for balance 2020 and beyond:
  • o 1 x CLEANBU vessels fixed on 3-6 months T/C
  • o Sold FFAs covering around 1/4 of CLEANBU wet capacity for 2H 2020
  • o Concluded a 3 year caustic soda COA to Australia covering ½ CABU vessel capacity
  • Postponing dockings and investments

COVID-19 effects to date COVID-19 & general business update

  • (In practice) stop in crew changes. Extended crew contracts approved
  • Difficult/impossible to get ship managers and service personnel onboard
  • More difficult / making deviations to get necessary supplies
  • Mounting delays at repair shipyards in China
  • → Maximize virus protection measures to protect crew + ensure no virus outbreak onboard our vessels

1. Technical operation 2. Commercial operation / vetting

  • Limited port delays/congestion and no delays in bunkering to date
  • Increasing "Quarantine measures" may lead to increasing waiting time
  • All scheduled vetting inspections to date have been performed according to plan. Increasingly difficult to get vetting inspectors onboard

→ Close dialogue with customers to minimize negative effects on daily trading

3. Trade flows keeping up to date

  • No changes to CSS shipping volumes/ schedules to Australia and Brazil
  • No/limited changes in dry bulk shipping volumes from Australia to Middle East and Australia
  • Strong CPP shipping market activity on the back of strong floating storage demand and continued trade flows
  • → Likely negative effects in all markets during Q2-2020, but KCC trades likely more resilient

Solid CABU earnings in Q1 2020 driven by high share of combination trading

  • Strong Q1-2020 earnings on the back of solid contract coverage and high CSS shipment volume - despite steep fall in dry bulk earnings and fuel prices
  • Q1-2020 earnings include compensation of USD 0.7 million for non-performance of one COA in 2019.
  • 99% utilization smooth operation with few off-hire days and unpaid waiting days
  • Positive outlook in Q2-2020 despite weak dry bulk and fuel markets with forecasted CABU earnings around \$17,000/day

Improving CLEANBU earnings with higher share in combi-trading

  • Positive development in CLEANBU earnings mainly driven by successful combi-trading and strong tanker market
  • One vessel traded as tanker with earnings at \$14,100/day.
  • Two vessels in combi-trade yielding \$24,500/day
  • Current strong tanker market will positively impact Q2-2020 CLEANBU earnings

Strong tanker markets - dry bulk and fuel markets have taken a hit

In a world of extreme uncertainties, trade volumes to our Australian and Brazilian customers seem relatively robust
