The second quarter of 2023 was largely dominated by work on continued vessel sales. The product tanker Stena Penguin was sold and delivered during the quarter and agreements were signed for the sale of another two vessels after the end of the quarter.
THE TANKER MARKET REMAINED STRONG in the second quarter of 2023. Average earnings per day for an MR tanker employed in the spot market amounted to approximately USD 22,700 (24,900). However, the trend was declining and in June and July rates averaged around USD 16,200 per day.
The drop in earnings also affected the rates for shorter time charters. A 12-month contract for an MR tanker was valued at USD 30,000 per day in April but fell to USD 25,250 per day in June. The slightly weaker end to the quarter is partly explained by a tightening of OPEC production quotas and continued economic uncertainty, particularly in China.
The asset values of vessels were affected to a lesser extent during the quarter. This is because the freight market fluctuates faster than assets. A 10-year-old standard MR tanker was priced at USD 34 million throughout the quarter. In July, slightly lower valuations were noted for older tonnage, but newbuilding prices are still very high for all vessel types.
The trends for other vessel segments were mixed. Dry bulk has experienced a downward trend in the medium-sized classes throughout the last year. Container vessels had a somewhat flat development with a slight improvement for some size classes. However, earnings are down to levels last seen before the big surge during COVID. The LNG segment fell sharply in the early part of the year compared with the record levels in 2022. The offshore market has had a prolonged upward trend.
For Concordia Maritime, earnings for the two vessels employed under the time charter contract with Stena Bulk during the quarter amounted to USD 15,500 per day. Total profit-sharing for the first six months amounted to approximately USD 70,000. The reason it is not higher is that both vessels are on a charter from Stena Bulk to an end customer, which was entered into at the market levels prevailing in 2021. Earnings for Stena Polaris, which is out on a bare-boat contract, correspond to a time charter of about USD 18,000 per day.

Result after tax for the quarter amounted to SEK 37.0 (35.7) million, which was mainly a consequence of the sale of Stena Penguin. Result after tax for the first half of 2023 amounted to SEK 40.0 (5.2) million.
When the first P-MAX vessels were sold in Q1 2022, before the market upturn, this was a direct consequence of the Company's strained financial position. Subsequent sales have been gradual and in line with our long-term strategy of phasing out older tonnage. At the end of May, Stena Penguin (2010) was delivered to her new owners. The transaction had a positive liquidity effect of approximately SEK 215 million after repayment of the bank loan.
After the end of the quarter, we have agreed on the sale of the vessels Stena Premium (2011) and Stena Progress (2009). The sales are being conducted with the conviction that, given the strong market, the time is right to "cast off" and sell tonnage of the type and age that Concordia Maritime has had.
The driving forces behind the decision also include the contractual situation for most of the vessels, with long contracts until 2026, signed at what, in today's market, are low levels. The outlook for the tanker market remains positive for autumn, but with a tense geopolitical situation, a defiant OPEC and an uncertain international economy, things can change quickly, which is why we have chosen to act now.
After the sales that have now been agreed, the Company will have repaid all loans and will have a net cash position – something that looked highly unlikely at the beginning of 2022.
In parallel with the work on the existing fleet, we have looked at possible future paths for Concordia Maritime's continuing business. In this work, we are not closing any doors but looking broadly at both the tanker and other segments. Some projects are concrete and discussions are in progress with potential partners, while other paths are at an earlier stage.
As always, timing is important, both when buying and selling. In the tanker market, the price level is, as mentioned, high and it may be appropriate to let the market cool down before investing. In dry cargo, asset values have come down slightly due to a weak freight market. In offshore wind, prices are rising but demand is growing strongly. High shipyard prices are common to all segments. That said, we are working methodically, in the best interests of our shareholders, to find the right deal with the right counterparty at the right time.

Result after tax for the quarter was SEK 37.0 (35.7) million. EBITDA was SEK 72.1 (102.7) 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 Penguin during the quarter had a positive effect of SEK 74.8 million on the result.
owner during the quarter. The sale had a positive liquidity effect of approximately SEK 215 million after repayment of the remaining bank loan.
After the end of the quarter, an agreement has been reached on the sale of the product tankers Stena Premium and Stena Progress. Stena Premium was delivered to the buyers in mid-August. Delivery of Stena Progress is expected in the third quarter of 2023. After repayment of loans and liabilities to related parties, the transaction will generate a cash injection of approximately SEK 100 million. The remaining liabilities are current operating liabilities.
Since 2021, Stena Progress and Stena Premium have been on a five-year charter to Stena Bulk, which in turn has chartered out the vessels on a combination of short and medium-term contracts. On the sale date, both vessels were on contracts that run until autumn/winter 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 expected earnings for the vessels during the remaining contract period.
After the sale, the Concordia Maritime fleet will consist of one vessel, Stena Polaris, which has been chartered out on a bareboat contract to US Crowley Government Services Inc. since early 2022. Crowley has in turn chartered the vessel to US Military Sealift Command. The contract with Crowley includes extension options until the end of 2026. Earnings for Stena Polaris correspond to a time charter contract of approximately USD 18,000 per day.
The five-year agreement with Stena Bulk has secured a base rate of USD 15,500 per day and vessel, with profit-sharing for any surplus levels, calculated on the basis of average earnings per vessel per half-year. Total profit-sharing for the first six months amounted to approximately USD 70,000.
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.
Available liquid funds, including unutilised credit facilities, amounted to SEK 189.7 (88.9) million at the end of the quarter.

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 amount in the hedging reserve at the end of the quarter was SEK 0.0 (0.6) million. The closing balance for the translation reserve in equity amounted to SEK 469.5 (502.8) million at the reporting date. The changes are recognised in equity through OCI.
Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK 0.0 (0.8) million. Concordia Maritime did not buy or sell any assets classified as short-term investments in the Company's balance sheet during the quarter.
The valuations conducted by three independent valuers1) in Q2 2023 indicated a slight upturn of about +2 percent. The fleet is defined as one cash-generating unit, and at the end of Q2 2023, the recoverable amount (market value) of the cash-generating unit was higher than its carrying amount. At the end of Q2 2023, two P-MAX vessels were chartered to Stena Bulk until 2026. In early August 2023, Concordia Maritime entered into agreements for the sale of these two vessels. Concordia

Maritime has the right to dispose of vessels and break the charter contract with Stena Bulk. However, if there are underlying charter contracts between Stena Bulk and an end customer, there may be a cost associated with finding replacement tonnage or negotiating a cancellation of the underlying contract. For information about Stena Bulk's employment of the vessels, see page 18. The two vessels sold after the end of the quarter are recognised as current assets on the line "Assets held for sale" in the consolidated balance sheet.
The remaining fleet vessel, Stena Polaris, was valued by the valuers at USD 28.9 million, on a charter-free basis, as at 30 June. It should be noted that, in view of the vessel's existing charter, the fair value is likely to be closer to the book value, which as of June 30 amounted to MSEK 219. It should also be noted that vessel values are significantly influenced by spot market development and can therefore vary considerably over time. For information on the book value, see page 10.
The number of employees in the Group on 30 June 2023 was 4 (3). The Group employed 108 (429) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company, Northern Marine Management.
The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 1.1 (0.0) million, with intragroup invoicing representing 1.1 (0.0) million of this amount. The Parent Company's available liquid funds at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 21.4 (22.9) million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and unutilised credit facilities.
Concordia Maritime operates in an industry 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. There were two incidents classified as high potential near misses. During loading, a defective hose caused the loading operation to be temporarily interrupted. The second incident took place on Stena Progress during a mooring adjustment operation. No-one was injured.
Two vetting inspections were conducted during the quarter. In total, 5 observations were recorded during these inspections, resulting in an average of 2.5 observations per inspection.
As a result of the vessel sales, there has been a significant reduction in total CO2 emissions. Compared with the first half of 2022, total emissions have decreased by about 80 percent. Excluding divested vessels, CO2 emissions in Q2 2023 were slightly lower than in the same quarter the previous year. The EEOI, which measures vessels' energy efficiency, deteriorated compared with 2022, as the vessels were not used at full capacity by the charterer.
Stena Polaris is chartered on a bareboat basis to Crowley, which handles the vessel's reporting to authorities etc. Emissions from the vessel are therefore not included in Concordia Maritime's reporting.

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.
Accordingly, there is an agreement, entered into many years ago, which regulates the relationship between the two companies with respect to purchasing or chartering of vessels. Under the terms of this agreement, Concordia Maritime has the right to opt for 0, 50 or 100 percent participation in each new transaction (with the exception of shorter transactions of less than 12 months).
At the end of Q2 2023, all P-MAX vessels apart from one were chartered to Stena Bulk. The time charter contract with Stena Bulk runs 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 specialises in transportation of refined petroleum products and vegetable oils and has offices in five countries. Learn more at www.stenabulk.com.
Payment is based on a commission of 1.25 percent on freight rates. Commission of 1 percent is charged 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.
Concordia Maritime AB has been granted a credit facility under an agreement with AB Stena Finans.
