Half year report 2018 available on website: today September 6th 2018

LPG

The operating result (EBIT) of the LPG fleet in the first half of 2018 was USD 1.9 million (as compared to USD 7.4 million for the same period in 2017).

Time-Charter Equivalent (in USD per day) First Semester
2018
First Semester
2017
Midsize (38,115 m³) 18,603 21,652
VLGC (83,300 m³) 8,392 16,871
Pressurized (3,500 m³) 6,803 5,604
Pressurized (5,000 m³) 8,761 6,712

Spot market returns for VLGCs were at the lowest levels since 2015 but have almost doubled since early June to around USD 23.000/day on a modern 84,000 m³ and are expected to stay stable going forward. EXMAR's only VLGC position basis BW TOKYO is currently committed on a time charter with a contract that runs until mid-2019 in accordance with the Baltic Index. The two LPG-fuelled 80,200 m³ newbuild gas carriers under construction at Hanjin Heavy Industries shipyard in Philippines are secured by a long-term charter commitment with Equinor (previously Statoil ASA). The vessels will be delivered by 2020.

EXMAR has one of the most fuel-efficient Midsize fleets in the sector following a modernisation programme commenced in 2014 that came to the end with the delivery of the final vessel WEPION on 31 July 2018. The renewal of EXMAR LPG's fleet has now been completed.

In this segment EXMAR steadily continues to secure forward employment. For the rest of 2018 cover stands at 83% for its fleet of 20 midsize vessels and at 48 % for 2019 (which excludes options to extend existing time charters).

Rates in the pressurized segment have continued their trend upwards. Additional volumes have been generated in the Far East and trades to the West of Suez also experienced a positive evolution in earnings as a result of tight availability of vessels and continuous demand for smaller LPG and petrochemical cargoes.

With a limited order book for Pressurized vessels and an ageing world fleet, EXMAR is well positioned with its ten vessels to benefit further from these solid rates. EXMAR's pressurized fleet is 100 % covered for the rest of 2018.

On the back of these strong rates, a refinancing of the pressurised fleet is currently being contemplated at better terms.

LNG

The operating result (EBIT) was USD 23.8 million for the first half 2018 including USD 30.9 million capital gain on the sale of FSRU EXCELSIOR (compared to USD -20.4 million for the first half 2017).

LNG Shipping: LNG shipping EBIT is generated by the one LNG carrier EXCALIBUR in ownership under her long-term time charter contract beyond 2022, fully performing in line with expectations.

Floating Regasification: In January 2018 the sale of EXMAR's FSRU EXCELSIOR has been concluded. The sale of EXMAR's share in the other three FSRU's took place already in 2017.

The FSRU barge, contracted to Gunvor last year and delivered from the yard in December 2017, is currently at Keppel Shipyard undergoing site specific modifications prior to deployment under its 10-year charter in Bangladesh. This long-term contract will start generating cash flow as from October 2018.

Floating Liquefaction: The CFLNG, ready at the yard, is being prospected for several LNG export opportunities. Commercial discussions have intensified with various parties.

OFFSHORE

The operating result (EBIT) for the first half of 2018 is USD -2.0 million (compared to USD -3.9 million in the first half of 2017).

The Offshore division continues to focus its efforts on securing further partnerships with oil majors and deep water oil exploration companies with scalable OPTI® and FPSO solutions that enable low cost, high yielding exploration and production.

The NUNCE accommodation work barge will remain under firm employment with Sonangol P&P, offshore Angola, until the end of the second quarter 2022. The WARIBOKO accommodation work barge continues to be employed by Total E&P, offshore Nigeria, and will be employed until the end of the third quarter 2018. EXMAR is currently working on employment opportunities beyond that period.

SUPPORTING SERVICES

The contribution of the Services activities (EXMAR SHIP MANAGEMENT and TRAVEL PLUS) to the operating result (EBIT) for the first half of 2018 is USD 1.4 million (compared to USD 1.8 million in 2017 for the same period).

The contribution of the Holding activities to the operating result (EBIT) for the first half 2018 was USD -3.5 million (compared to USD -1.2 million in the first semester 2017).

EXMAR Ship Management has diversified its fleet under management, which now totals 88 assets.

Travel PLUS had a good first semester for 2018 with a 2% year-on-year increase in overall earnings.

As a consequence of the nonapplication of IAS 23 in prior periods, the prior period financial statements have been restated. We refer to note 11 of the Annual report 2017 for more information in this respect.
