The third quarter of 2023 and the weeks that followed have been a clear reminder of the troubled times we live in. A tense geopolitical situation, with rapidly escalating conflicts and tragic acts of terrorism, can have a major impact on society, the economy and trade.
affected by drastic changes in the world around us. War can bring sanctions and changed trade patterns, while changing oil prices are fully correlated with ship fuel prices and pandemics lead to delays to crew changes and entry into port. The weather phenomenon also plays a role. For example, at the time of writing, unusually low water in the Panama Canal is causing weeks-long queues to pass through.
So how can you prepare for changes like these? Well obviously, you can't fully prepare for them. But for a shipowner, it's about trying to read the big, long-term trends and combining that with facts about the order book, price levels and earnings. You also need to have the capacity and ability to act on the "black swans" that can quickly trigger a major change in the freight market. The biggest swings in the freight market in recent years have been initiated by pandemics (Covid), wars and political decisions that in many cases came as a surprise to most people.
The longer-term consequences of the heightened geopolitical uncertainty include a marked increase in the focus on
national and regional energy security. This, in turn, will have knock-on effects on shipping, partly in terms of changed cargo flows and partly in the form of increased demand for more niche vessels.
In the third quarter, we continued to capitalise on the recordhigh market with successful sales and deliveries of the two product tankers Stena Premium (2011) and Stena Progress (2009). The sales were motivated by the historically high vessel values we have seen since Q2 2022 and the existing five-year charters to Stena Bulk that the vessels have been on since Q3 2021. Given the strong vessel market and the age of the vessels, we came to the conclusion that we would get a better return by selling the vessels than keeping them. The mediumterm charter contract on which Stena Bulk employed the vessels to the end customer has also been significantly below current market levels and would only have generated very limited profit-sharing over and above the agreed base rate of USD 15,500 per day and vessel during the next few years.

We also took into account the fact that future changes in IMO regulations may require further investments in the P-MAX vessels, which would have been easier to justify economically if they had been less old.
In the case of both sales, the buyer took over responsibility for an existing sub-charter which could not be broken and runs until the end of 2024. This fact is reflected in the price.
Despite a lower price than if the vessels had been sold charter-free, we are convinced that it was the right decision for the Company to take advantage of current market levels and pay off all debt.
After two successful sales, liquidity increased by a total of SEK 75.2 million in the quarter. Result after tax for the quarter amounted to SEK –20.5 (–22.8) million, which was mainly a consequence of the sale of Stena Premium and Stena Progress and existing charters. Result after tax for the first nine months of 2023 was SEK 19.5 (–17.6) million.
In line with the fleet reduction, we started to trim the Group's administrative costs.
After the deliveries of Stena Premium and Stena Progress – in Uruguay and Trinidad – Concordia Maritime now has one remaining vessel in the fleet: Stena Polaris, built in 2010. The vessel has been valued at USD 29.1 million by three independent ship brokers (as of 30 September). However, this is on a charter-free basis, which is not the case. Given the contract on which the vessel is currently sailing (bareboat charter, with the charterer responsible for crew and operation, see page 4), the price of a sale today, which would require a novation of the existing charter to the buyer, would be lower. Broker estimates during October are in the range of USD 19.5 million to USD 24.5 million.
We continue to work on laying the foundations for the next phase in Concordia Maritime's history. We can see that the Company is now completely debt-free (apart from normal operating liabilities). The balance sheet includes a vessel with no associated loans, built in 2010, with a carrying amount of SEK 215.4 million. The Company also has available liquid funds of SEK 243.4 million. In total, this corresponds to SEK 458.8 million. Equity per share amounted to SEK 9.43 (7.12) at the end of the quarter. The Company is also one of only three listed shipping companies in Sweden and the only shipping company on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The combination of the Company's assets, a 135-year history and a good reputation provides a good basis for future initiatives.
A number of projects and concrete transactions with various counterparties have been worked on during the year, particularly in the segments mentioned above: offshore wind, dry cargo carriers and intermediate product tankers. All of them show exciting development, with the green transition driving innovation and change. We and the Board have evaluated several business openings. The work continues and the Company has high hopes for the future, but without being under time pressure to conclude a deal quickly. As all our shareholders are aware, shipping is a cyclical sector in which timing is of key importance.
Gothenburg, November 2023,
Erik Lewenhaupt, CEO

Result after tax for the quarter was SEK –20.5 (–22.8) million. EBITDA was SEK –6.4 (38.0) million. The change, excluding vessel sales, compared with the corresponding quarter in the previous year is largely an effect of the fleet reduction. The sale of Stena Premium and Stena Progress during the quarter had a negative effect of SEK –6.1 million on the result. This is because the selling price was affected by the underlying charter contract.
STENA PROGRESS AND STENA PREMIUM were sold and delivered to their new owner during the quarter. After repayment of loans and liabilities to related parties, the transaction generated cash proceeds of approximately SEK 100 million, while total cash flow for the third quarter amounted to SEK 75.2 million.
Stena Progress and Stena Premium have been on a fiveyear charter to Stena Bulk since 2021, guaranteeing a base rate of USD 15,500 per vessel and day, with profit-sharing for any surplus levels, calculated on the basis of average earnings per vessel per half-year. Stena Bulk has in turn chartered out the vessels. On the sale date, both vessels were on contracts that run until the end of 2024. The transaction means that the buyer takes over responsibility for these contracts from Stena Bulk. The sale price is affected by the buyer's earnings for the vessels during the remaining contract period.
When Stena Provence was delivered in early 2023, SEK 156 million of the bank borrowing was repaid. A further SEK 89 million was repaid when Stena Penguin was delivered. The delivery of Stena Premium and Stena Progress during the third quarter enabled a repayment of SEK 327 million in loans and liabilities to related parties. In total, the sales have resulted in
Concordia Maritime being virtually debt-free. The remaining liabilities are current operating liabilities and an overdraft facility. Available liquid funds, including unutilised credit facilities, amounted to SEK 243.4 (86.1) million at the end of the quarter.
Now that Stena Progress and Stena Premium have been sold, Concordia Maritime's fleet consists of one vessel, Stena Polaris, which has been chartered out on a bareboat contract to US Crowley Government Services Inc. since early 2022.
In turn, Crowley has leased the vessel with an American crew to the the US Military Sealift Command. The contract with Crowley includes extension options*, and earnings correspond to a time charter contract of approximately USD 18,000 per day.
There are no loans associated with Stena Polaris. Broker valuations for the vessel as of 30 September 2023 amount to an average of USD 29.1 million (SEK 316 million) on a charter-free basis. Given the existing charter, the fair value is currently lower (see CEO's overview). The carrying amount as of 30 September was SEK 215.4 million.
It should also be noted that vessel values are significantly influenced by freight market development.

There were no scheduled drydock visits and no repairs in drydock during the quarter.
The Parent Company's functional currency is SEK, but the majority of the transactions in the Group are in USD. The Group's result is generated in USD, which means the result in SEK is a direct function of the SEK/USD exchange rate trend.
The closing balance for the translation reserve in equity amounted to SEK 473.1 (523.5) million at the reporting date. The changes are recognised in equity through OCI. The translation differences will be recycled to profit or loss when the foreign subsidiaries are wound up.
Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK 0.0 (0.0) million. Concordia Maritime deposited a total of USD 16 million in fixed rate accounts during the quarter, with terms of one and two months. The total investment, corresponding to SEK 174.6 (0.0) million, is reported under short-term investments in the Company's balance sheet.
In 2023, Concordia Maritime, like a large number of others in the shipping sector, received a letter from the Nigerian tax authorities demanding retrospective taxation of contracts calling at Nigerian ports between 2010 and 2019. The Company is evaluating the legal viability of the claims and potential financial exposure with legal advisors and industry associations.
The number of employees in the Group on 30 September 2023 was 4 (4). The Group had 0 (379) temporary seagoing employees.
The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 0.7 (0.0) million, with intragroup invoicing representing 0.7 (0.0) million of this amount. The Parent Company's available liquid funds at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 171.6 (86.1) million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and unutilised credit facilities.
Concordia Maritime operates in a market where demand for the Company's services is affected by business cycles and seasonal effects, as well as factors of a more temporary nature.
The main risks associated with Concordia Maritime's operations and the industry – and which could have a significant negative impact on the Group's operations, strategy, profitability, cash flow, shareholder value or reputation – are divided into four categories: strategic risks, operational risks, compliance risks and financial risks. Sustainability risks are integrated into the risk categories. More information about risks and risk management can be found in Concordia Maritime's 2022 annual report, which is available at www.concordiamaritime.com.

NONE OF CONCORDIA MARITIME'S VESSELS were involved in any incident that resulted in discharges of bunker oil or cargo during the quarter. No Concordia Maritime vessel was involved in any piracy-related incidents. Both Stena Premium and Stena Progress have been delivered to new owners during the quarter. The only remaining vessel as of 30 September 2023 is Stena Polaris. The vessel is chartered on a bareboat basis to Crowley, which handles the vessel's reporting to authorities etc. Emissions and safety data for the vessel are therefore not included in Concordia Maritime's reporting.
One vetting inspection was conducted during the quarter.

Erik Lewenhaupt CEO

Concordia Maritime AB Corp. ID 556068-5819
We have reviewed the condensed set of financial statements in the interim report for Concordia Maritime AB (publ) for the third quarter and the nine months ended 30 September 2023. The Board of Directors and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.
The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified during an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Group and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company.

Concordia Maritime has a small internal organisation, and purchases services from related-party companies in the Stena Sphere, which include Stena Bulk AB. The latter company conducts tanker business that coincides with Concordia Maritime in some respects.
As Stena Polaris was chartered out to Crowley, the time charter agreement with Stena Bulk was put on hold. If Stena Polaris were redelivered to Concordia Maritime, it would be possible to resume the time charter agreement under its original duration until 2026. Under the agreement, Concordia Maritime has the right to dispose of vessels during the charter period and then break the charter contract with Stena Bulk. If there are underlying contracts between Stena Bulk and the end customer, these may constitute grounds for compensation.
Stena Bulk is entitled to charge commission of 1 percent on vessel sales.
Payment is based on a fixed price per year and vessel, with an additional payment for manning of vessels.
Payment is based on a fixed price per month and vessel. With regard to technical consulting services for newbuild projects, an hourly rate is applied on a cost-plus basis, which is then charged to the project.
A fixed annual price is charged.
