A particularly challenging year

Twelve months ago, we looked back on a mediocre 2020. The prospects for a recovery in 2021 seemed good at that time. Stock levels were low and demand for oil increased again – after the sharp decline early on in the pandemic. A year on, we can see that the upturn failed to materialise. Instead, 2021 turned out to be one of tanker shipping's most challenging years ever.

All other shipping segments apart from the tanker segment showed strong growth during the year – largely driven by high commodity prices, disruptions in logistics chains and a generally strong and rapid recovery in the world economy. The Clarksons ClarkSea Index, which shows overall earnings for shipping, increased by 93 percent during the year. At the same time, the tanker segment's share of the same index fell by 71 percent.

Several reasons behind the weak market

The tanker markets were under strong pressure throughout the year. Average earnings per day for a Suezmax vessel during the year fluctuated between USD 2,500 and 12,500. Corresponding earnings per day for an MR product tanker were USD 3,500–13,000. We could see some recovery in the fourth quarter, but nothing that would change the big picture.

The weak market during the year was due to a number of factors, the main ones being:

• Lower volumes. Despite a recovery in demand for oil, production and export volumes have not increased at the same pace as OPEC has been holding back. Stock levels reached historically low levels in the second half of the year and the broad replenishment has not yet taken place.

  • • Shorter distances. This is partly due to lower than expected exports from typical long-distance exporters like Russia, Brazil, the US and Norway to regions such as Asia, leading to a reduction in transport distances.
  • • Less phasing-out/recycling than expected. Despite a historically weak market, a relatively large number of older vessels remained active. Some of these are reported to be sailing with cargo from sanctioned countries, instead of going in for recycling. This contributed to net fleet growth.
  • • Increased fuel prices. The price of crude oil rose gradually over the year, from approximately USD 50 per barrel in January to approximately USD 80 per barrel in December. This affected fuel prices for the fleet.

Major impact on Concordia Maritime

The continuing market weakness is clearly reflected in Concordia Maritime's financial result for the full year 2021, which amounted to SEK –660.4 million. In addition to generally weak earnings, other contributory factors were nonrecurring costs related to periodic drydocking, installation of statutory ballast water treatment systems and increased complexity in crew changes as a result of the pandemic.

The weak market also resulted in a decline in vessel values for older tonnage, which – as previously communicated – affected the book value of the fleet and the result. The result for the fourth quarter, which was affected by the impairment, amounted to SEK –307.8 million.

The stronger earnings during Q4 are mainly a consequence of the five-year time charter for the P-MAX fleet. Although the base rate does not generate a profit, the agreement provides the necessary basic cover during challenging circumstances and there is the possibility of profit-sharing with Stena Bulk for any income above the base rate.

Measures to strengthen the Company's financial position and liquidity

A number of activities have been initiated to strengthen the Company's financial position and liquidity:

  • Chartering out the entire P-MAX fleet (gradually from Q3 2021). The five-year time charter agreement with Stena Bulk secures a base rate of USD 15,500 per day and vessel with profit-sharing for any surplus levels.
  • New financing, including a lower amortisation rate and new covenant levels (Q3 2021 – Q4 2024).
  • Divestment of the two IMOIIMAX product tankers (Q3 2021).
  • Redelivery of chartered Suezmax shares (Q3 and Q4 2021).
  • Sale of P-MAX vessel Stena Perros (Q1 2022).

Is this the demise of the tanker market we are now witnessing? No, probably not. There is still an underlying need for transport. Crude oil, refined products, vegetable oils, renewable fuels and chemicals all need to be shipped. The tanker market is volatile in nature and when the market turns, it tends to do so quickly. The market weakness in recent years can probably be seen as the consequence of a number of unfortunate and interrelated causes.

Looking at the supply side, we can see that the order book for tankers is at 7.3 percent1) of the total fleet, which is historically low. At the same time, the average age of the fleet continues to rise. We also note that many shipyards are full until mid-2024 as a result of the strong container

market. So even if orders were to increase now, it would take several years before newly ordered ships could be delivered. Oil stock levels remain low – and we have to wonder how long this situation can persist.

A major focus during the year will be to gradually strengthen the Company's liquidity and financial situation. The chartering out of the P-MAX vessels provides a necessary basis here. In addition, we are continuing to review the fleet, its employment and its earnings potential. One example is the technical design study that we recently launched. The aim is to investigate the feasibility of converting P-MAX vessels for container transportation (2,100 TEU). The road to a decision is certainly long, but given the market situation, no type of measure can be ruled out.

"Expect the best, plan for the worst and prepare to be surprised" are apt words for the tanker market. At the time of writing, the market situation remains tight but could change quickly. We are therefore keeping all options open for the future.

Finally, I would like to pay a special tribute to our crews, who have coped with a year of covid restrictions in an exemplary way.

Gothenburg, February 2022 Erik Lewenhaupt, CEO

Business activities

Earnings per day for the product tanker fleet in the fourth quarter of 2021 were USD 15,800 (12,600), which was higher than average earnings per day for the market1), USD 7,800 (6,400). Earnings per day for the Suezmax fleet in the quarter were USD 13,100 (10,000), compared with average earnings per day of USD 10,500 (6,500) for the market2).

The product tanker fleet

After the sale of Stena Perros, Concordia Maritime's product tanker fleet consists of nine 65,200 dwt P-MAX vessels. A five-year charter contract was signed with Stena Bulk during Q3 2021 and all vessels were employed under the contract the end of Q4. More about the agreement can be found on page 6 and at concordiamaritime.com.

The vessel Stena Polaris was chartered out to Crowley Government Services Inc. (Crowley) at the beginning of 2022. The bareboat contract is for a minimum period of 12 months with annual options until 2026. Crowley will in turn charter the vessel to US Military Sealift Command. The agreement terminates the charter to Stena Bulk but it will be reinstated if the full period is not declared by Crowley. The agreement is a fine endorsement of the quality of our vessels.

Earnings

Average earnings per day for the entire product tanker fleet during the quarter were USD 15,800 (12,600). For the full year, average earnings per day for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, were USD 13,700 (16,200).

Suezmax fleet

During the quarter, the Suezmax fleet consisted of the Suezmax tanker Stena Supreme (158,000 dwt), which is on a long-term charter, and shares in vessels on short-term contracts. The short-term contract is a joint charter with Stena Bulk, and Concordia Maritime's share amounted to 50 percent. All the vessels were employed in the spot market via Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool, controlled by Stena and the Angolan state oil company Sonangol. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company did not have any fleet vessels on short-term contracts.

Earnings

Average earnings per day for the Suezmax fleet were USD 13,100 (10,000) for the quarter and USD 11,900 (27,100) for the full year.

Repairs and drydock

There were no repairs or scheduled drydocking during the quarter.

Financial summary

Result

Result after tax for the quarter was SEK –307.8 (–87.4) million.

Equity

Equity per share was SEK 6.21 (16.66).

Changes in translation and hedging reserves

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 2.1 (–110.9) million. The closing balance for the translation reserve in equity amounted to SEK 460.2 (411.4) million at the reporting date. The changes are recognised in equity through OCI.

Liquidity

Concordia Maritime's available liquid funds have decreased significantly during the year due to the withdrawal of credit facilities in connection with the new bank agreement and planned investments such as the installation of statutory ballast water treatment systems. At the same time, operating income has been low as a result of the current market situation. Available liquid funds, including unutilised credit facilities, amounted to SEK 34.9 million at the end of 2021.

Covenants and reclassification of debt

At the end of the year, with the weak tanker market continuing, there was a high risk that the Company might breach its equity ratio covenant. Management therefore

negotiated a waiver with the lending banks during December. This waiver applies until 31 March 2022. During Q1 2022, the Company will enter into previously planned negotiations with lending banks to secure new more sustainable covenant levels, with the intention that they will apply for the entire duration of the bank agreement, i.e. until the final quarter of 2024. Although the Company has a multi-year time charter with Stena Bulk and a binding multi-year agreement with lending banks, under the IFRS accounting principles (IAS 1) the bank debt as a whole is recognised as a current liability as the present waiver only extends until 31 March 2022. If a sustainable covenant level can be agreed, the Company will reclassify the loan liabilities in accordance with the loan structure of the bank agreement, i.e. with a non-current and a current portion.

Investments and deposits

Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK –8.9 (65.6) million. Investments are related to purchases for completed drydock inspections and drydock inspections scheduled in 2022. During the quarter, Concordia Maritime did not buy or sell any assets classified as short-term investments in the Company's balance sheet.

Bunker hedge

Concordia Maritime's bunker hedge of 32,550 tonnes, effective October 2021 to May 2022, was closed in Q3, but affected the income statement in the period covered by the hedge.

Measures to strengthen the Company's financial position and liquidity

The weak tanker market in recent years has posed financial challenges for Concordia Maritime. At the EGM of Concordia Maritime AB (publ) on 12 August 2021, it was decided, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to approve the agreement with Stena Bulk AB on time chartering of all the Company's P-MAX product tankers ("the time charter") and the guarantee agreement whereby Stena Sessan AB guarantees to pay the banks up to MUSD 10 million on behalf of Concordia under certain circumstances("the guarantee").

The time charter contract guarantees stable income that covers operating cash flow. It also includes entitles Concordia Maritime to profit-sharing for surplus income above the base rate. To achieve an accounting profit will require a stronger market and profit-sharing payments to be made. Concordia also has the right to divest the entire fleet or parts thereof during the charter period, without any fees. The aim is to dispose of vessels when the tanker market strengthens so that the Company's liquidity and freedom of action can be improved.

Agreements on new loan terms

In September and November 2021, binding agreements on new loan terms for the P-MAX vessels were entered into with lending banks. The main elements of the agreements are lower repayment rates and new covenant levels.

Sale of Stena Perros

Concordia Maritime has sold the P-MAX vessel Stena Perros (65,000 dwt, built in 2007). The buyer is an oil company with operations in Africa and the vessel was delivered in early February. The sale had a positive liquidity effect of approximately MUSD 1.0 million. The surplus is used for accelerated loan amortisation, which will strengthen the Company in the period ahead.

Continued work ahead

Efforts to strengthen the Company's financial position and liquidity will continue. The combination of a lack of vessel sales, increased daily costs or unforeseen events and continued weak market conditions could put Concordia Maritime at risk of needing to obtain additional credit or strengthen its financial position in some other way.

Hedge accounting is applied for the bunker hedge, and the fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income. A fair value change of SEK –8.1 million for this position was reported in OCI during the quarter. The realised values are recognised in the Company's income statement at maturity. Realised values of SEK –8.2 (0.0) million were recognised as operating expenses during the quarter.

Positions

At the end of the quarter, the Company had FFA positions for the period January to March 2022. These were valued at SEK –0.2 million and are reported in the Company's income statement.

Valuation of the fleet

Concordia Maritime's standard process is to conduct sixmonthly assessments and valuations of the fleet to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. The process is based on an overall assessment of future earnings, newbuilding price development and average values from three independent ship brokers.

The fleet is defined as two cash-generating units, with product tankers representing one unit and the suezmax tanker the other unit. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value (external valuations) and value in use (future discounted cash flows).

Following an assessment made in connection with the 2021 year-end accounts, Concordia Maritime decided to write down the carrying amount of the fleet vessels by MSEK 268 million. The impairment was a consequence of the prolonged tanker market weakness, which is considered to have had a negative effect on the vessels' market values. This assessment is also confirmed by the sale of the P-MAX vessel Stena Perros in January 2022.

Fleet employment

As of the date of this report, the Suezmax vessel Stena Supreme was the only vessel in the sailing fleet of 10 vessels (9 owned and 1 on a bareboat contract) employed in the spot market. The vessel's earnings are related to the freight rate level on the open market and the fluctuations that arise there.

Employees

The number of employees in the Group on 31 December 2021 was 3 (3). The Group employed 589 (596) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company, Northern Marine Management in Glasgow.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 2.9 (10.2) million, with intragroup invoicing representing SEK 0.0 (0.0) million of this amount. The Parent Company's available liquid funds at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 20.7 (198.0) million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and unutilised credit facilities. As a result of the write-down of the fleet vessels' carrying amount, an impairment loss of SEK –71 (0.0) million on shares in subsidiaries was recognised in the quarter, which is reported under Result from subsidiaries in the income statement.

Operational challenges

Due to Covid-19, the Company has been unable to carry out crew changes as normal during the quarter. Crew safety comes first and crew changes are carried out when possible.

Concordia Maritime's contribution to more sustainable tanker shipping

Concordia Maritime conducts long-term sustainability work which is based on three focus areas that the Company considers most important and where there is greatest potential for influence.

Providing safe tanker transport

Concordia Maritime's operations must be conducted in a manner that protects employees, the environment and vessels. A strong safety culture at all levels of the organisation is needed in order to minimise the risk of accidents and incidents.

Reducing our environmental impact

Concordia Maritime is strongly committed to reducing the impact of its operations on the environment. Continuous work to reduce emissions and increase energy efficiency is conducted within the organisation and with other stakeholders.

Taking our responsibility for employees and society

Concordia Maritime is a responsible employer and community participant, promoting good working conditions, equality, human rights and anti-corruption.

Principles and guidelines

A clear framework sets out the guidelines on how Concordia Maritime should act as a responsible company and employer.

Partnerships and collaboration Influence is exerted by working closely with partners and other forms of collaboration.

Monitoring and controls A structured approach to monitoring

and controls creates conditions for measuring and improving the Company's sustainability performance.

Sustainable transportation of today's and tomorrow's fuel

Sustainability report

None of Concordia Maritime's vessels were involved in any incident that resulted in discharges of bunker oil or cargo during the quarter. There were also no workplace incidents resulting in an individual employee being unable to return to a work shift on the following day.

A high level of alertness and a well structured safety approach meant that we reported two minor incidents during the quarter. The first is an incident classified as an RWC (Restricted Work Case) and an HPNM (High Potential Near Miss). It occurred during an overhaul of the main engine. An engineer twisted his foot awkwardly, requiring first aid to be provided. The second incident was classified as a High Potential Near Miss and occurred on board Stena Provence. What happened was a very small spillage of water and oil products on the deck. No spillage overboard was observed.

None of Concordia Maritime's vessels were involved in any piracy-related incidents during the quarter.

External controls

Six vetting inspections were conducted during the quarter. There were 12 observations recorded during these inspections, resulting in an average of 2.0 observations per inspection. A total of 32 vetting inspections were conducted in the full year 2021. There were 62 observations recorded during these inspections, resulting in an average of 1.9 observations per inspection. No port state control resulted in the detention in port of any Concordia Maritime vessel during the quarter.

Energy management

The Company's fleet of owned vessels decreased its bunker consumption by 13% in Q4 2021 compared with Q4 2020, due to the fact that we had two fewer vessels than in 2020. However, the EEOI, which measures vessels' energy efficiency and CO2 emissions, showed a deterioration for the Company's fleet in the final quarter of 2021.

New regulations

Concordia Maritime monitors developments regarding shipping regulations issued by the IMO, the EU and other relevant bodies. This is in keeping with the Company's ambition to provide safe, reliable and sustainable transportation. The IMO's short-term greenhouse gas reduction measures are likely to require fleet adaptations in the coming years. The IMO's EEXI and CII regulations enter into force 1 January 2023 and evaluation of effective technical and operational initiatives required to ensure compliance is well underway.

Risks and risk management

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. This creates both business opportunities and risks, and the Company's ability to identify, assess, manage and monitor them is an important part of the governance and control of Concordia Maritime's business operations.

Concordia Maritime's risk work is aimed at creating good conditions, through well-considered risk-taking, for achieving the Company's business goals and upholding its ability to create long-term value for customers and owners. Risk work is based on an established framework that specifies acceptable levels of risk-taking. Risk-taking levels are determined by the Board.

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. Sustainability risks are integrated into the risk categories.

Strategic risks are primarily external factors that could affect Concordia Maritime's operations. The Board and management have limited opportunity to control these risks in the short term, but must still deal with them in the planning and governance of the operations. Strategic risks also include internal factors that could make it difficult to achieve the Company's overall business goals.

  • Operational risks are related to operating activities. These are risks that Concordia Maritime can largely control and prevent – either itself or through cooperation partners.
  • Compliance risks are related to the fact that Concordia Maritime operates in a global market and an industry that is subject many laws, regulations and rules on, for example, safety and the environment. The risks are associated with non-compliance, but also with the consequences of the Company adapting to, for example, stricter environmental legislation.
  • Financial risks include credit, currency and interest rate risks that may adversely affect the Company's results. See also "Measures to strengthen the Company's financial position and liquidity" under "Financial summary".

More information about risks and risk management can be found in Concordia Maritime's 2020 annual report, which is available at www.concordiamaritime.com.
