Continuing roller coaster

For the tanker market, the second quarter of 2020 was characterised by a very strong start, followed by a considerably weaker end. The strong start was due to a record low oil price, which contributed to a sharp increase in oil trade – despite the significant decline in actual oil consumption as a result of the new coronavirus.

During April and early May, the extensive trade resulted in significant stock accumulation, which contributed to a strong tanker market with high rates. In the latter part of the quarter, production cuts caused the market to weaken sharply, with falling rates as a result.

Decision on production cuts

In April, in response to low prices and reduced consumption, OPEC+ (supported by the G20) decided to cut production by 9.7 million barrels per day in May, June and July (based on October 2018 production), corresponding to about 10 percent of production. In addition to OPEC+, other countries also contributed with production cuts, which means that the total production cuts are actually larger.

Since the lows we saw in April, oil consumption has now increased again, which, in combination with production cuts, has resulted in stock withdrawals and declining stock levels. In terms of tanker market development in the longer term, this trend is both necessary and good.

Operational challenges

The situation in the outside world obviously also affects our own operations. New routines on vessels, tough restrictions and generally increased travel difficulties have significantly increased the complexity of operations. This applies particularly to crew changes, which in many cases has resulted in longer working periods onboard.

Since the Covid-19 outbreak, our highest priority has been to safeguard the health of seagoing employees and minimise the risk of infection onboard the vessels. In addition to complying with the recommendations of the relevant authorities, we and our crewing partner Northern Marine Management have also implemented a large number of our own preventive measures. These include continuous risk assessments and exercises.

Despite rigorous preventive work, some of the crew on the P-MAX vessel Stena Premium became ill with Covid-19 during the quarter. All of those affected only showed mild symptoms.

Outlook

We are now putting behind us a particularly dramatic first half of the year. For the remainder of 2020, we expect the combination of reduced (although gradually rising) oil production, stock withdrawals in consuming countries and reduced refinery volumes to result in a continuation of subdued demand for tanker transport – which in turn will result

in lower rates than in the first half of the year. For our own part, a period of increased maintenance also awaits. Over the next 12 months, eight of the vessels in the fleet will go into drydock and ballast water treatment systems installation.

Predicting development of demand for tanker transport in 2021 is of course difficult, but we believe that gradual easing of restrictions, restarting of economies, massive support programmes and normalised stock levels will contribute to a faster return to the "pre-Corona" situation than many people first thought – and this applies both to oil consumption and demand for tanker transport. For example, the EIA's current assessment is that oil consumption will be back at 2019 levels as early as 2021.

The positive drivers also include very low net tanker fleet growth. At the end of July 2020, the order book for the product tanker segment was at a record low of about 6 percent of the total tanker fleet – almost half of the average for the last ten years. In the current situation, virtually no new orders are being placed either, which guarantees that the low growth rate will be gradually extended.

Business activities

Spot market earnings for the product tanker fleet in the second quarter of 2020 were USD 18,500 (15,100) per day, which was lower than the average earnings of USD 26,700 (11,400) per day for the market1). Earnings for the Suezmax fleet in the quarter were USD 47,900 (19,200) per day, compared with the average earnings of USD 47,300 (15,700) per day for the market.1)

The product tanker fleet

The ten 65,200 dwt P-MAX tankers are the backbone of Concordia Maritime's fleet. At the end of the reporting period, three of the vessels were employed on time charters. The other seven were employed in the spot market under the cooperation with Stena Bulk. The two IMOIIMAX vessels Stena Image and Stena Important, contracted in on long-term charters, also continued to be employed in the spot market under the cooperation with Stena Bulk.

Earnings

Average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, during the second quarter were USD 18,100 (14,900) per day. For vessels employed in the spot market, average earnings for the quarter were USD 18,500 (15,100) per day. For the six-month period, average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, were USD 18,500 (16,200) per day. For vessels employed in the spot market, average earnings for the first six months were USD 19,000 (16,300) per day.

Suezmax fleet

During the period, the Suezmax fleet consisted of the Suezmax tanker Stena Supreme (158,000 DWT), contracted in on a

long-term charter. The vessel was employed in the spot market via Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool, controlled by Stena and the Angolan state oil company Sonangol.

Earnings

Average earnings for the suezmax fleet were USD 47,900 (19,200) per day for the quarter and USD 48,500 (23,200) per day for the six-month period.

Repairs and drydock

There were no repairs or drydocking during the quarter. Stena Polaris, Stena Image and Stena Important will be taken in for scheduled drydocking in the third quarter.

1) Clarksons w.w. average MR Clean Earnings 2) Clarksons w.w. Suezmax Long Run Historical Earnings

Concordia Maritime's spot market product tanker fleet performed below Clarksons theoretical index during the quarter. The main reason is that during rapid market changes, Clarksons is updated faster than the shipping companies' charters. The current charters must be terminated

before new ones can be agreed at the new market level. Concordia Maritime's earnings in the Suezmax segment were higher than the index, which shows that the Stena Sonangol pool remains one of the industry's leaders.

Financial summary

Result

Result after tax for the quarter was SEK 28.3 (–39.2) million. The strong tanker market, particularly in April and early May, meant higher earnings for the spot market vessels. Costs for ongoing operation and administration were in line with the same period the previous year.

Equity

Equity per share was SEK 22.57 (23.40).

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. An equity hedge has been in place since the second half of 2018 through the forward sale of USD 31 million, with a maturity of 24 months. At the end of Q2 2020, this hedging was valued at SEK –21.5 million and recognised in the translation reserve through OCI.

The closing amount in the hedging reserve at the end of the quarter was SEK –49.6 (–30.9) million. The closing balance for the translation reserve amounted to SEK 512.3 (523.4) million at the reporting date. The changes are recognised in equity through OCI.

Investments and deposits

Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK 13.2 (5.1) million. Investments for the quarter are related to purchases for scheduled drydocking in Q3. During the quarter, the Company did not buy or sell any assets classified as short-term investments in the Company's balance sheet.

Bunker hedge

The Company has a bunker hedge of 67,200 tonnes, effective January 2021 to June 2022.

The settlement price for 46,200 tonnes of MGO in 2021 is USD 645/tonne and for 21,000 tonnes of MGO in 2022 USD 618/tonne.

Hedge accounting is applied for the bunker hedge, and the fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income. A fair value change of SEK 9.1 million for this position was reported in OCI during the quarter. The realised values are recognised in the Company's income statement at maturity.

Positions

The Company has positions for the price differential between bunker grades HSFO and MGO for March to June 2021 covering 8,000 tonnes, with a settlement price of USD 325/ tonne. The positions are classified as current liabilities in the Company's balance sheet.

At the end of the quarter, there were no open FFA positions. Realised values of SEK 3.9 million for the TD20 positions had a positive cash effect during the quarter.

At the end of the quarter, the Company has a Brent option that expires in November. The option is classified as a current liability in the Company's balance sheet.

Valuation of the fleet

The Group's standard process is to conduct six-monthly assessments of the fleet to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. The fleet is defined as a cash-generating unit, and 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). At the end of the period, the fleet's carrying amount did not exceed its recoverable amount and no impairment was therefore recognised.

Seasonal variations

At the end of the quarter, nine vessels in the sailing fleet of 13 (10 owned, 3 on bareboat contracts) were employed in the spot market, two of them on CVC contracts. Three vessels are out on time charters for two years (to October 2021, with an option for a further year).

Earnings for the vessels that are not signed out to time charters are related to the freight level on the open market. This fleet deployment means that earnings are affected by the seasonal variations that occur in tanker shipping.

Employees

The number of employees in the Group on 30 June 2020 was 3 (6). The Group employed 557 (519) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 0.0 (20.9) million, with intragroup invoicing representing SEK 0.0 (0.1) million of this amount. The Parent Company's available liquid funds at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 1,056.6 (1,086.3) million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and unutilised credit facilities.

Operational challenges

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

One of the Company's vessels, Stena Premium, has been in quarantine in Brazil as some of the crew tested positive. These crew members are now healthy and the vessel is in normal traffic.

Sustainability report

Sustainability work at Concordia Maritime is conducted on a long-term basis and with relevance, openness and transparency as its main guiding principles. The work is based on a materiality analysis in which the main and most relevant sustainability issues are identified.

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.

There were also no medical treatment cases during the quarter. No incidents classified as a high potential near miss or a high risk observation occurred during the quarter.

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 18 observations during these inspections, resulting in an average of 3.0 observations per inspection.

No port state control resulted in the detention in port of any Concordia Maritime vessel during the quarter.

Energy management

Efforts to reduce bunker consumption continued during the quarter. Through Stena, the Company can now obtain better bunker consumption and emission data. The Company has therefore decided to report data in a more relevant way with effect from this quarter. We will focus on actual consumed bunker volumes, actual emissions, and also report emission efficiency through the key figure grams of CO2 emissions per tonne carried and nautical mile travelled. This will soon be supplemented with emission efficiency for SOx , NOx and particles, but the data quality must be ensured first.

During the quarter, our Suezmax vessel reduced its bunker consumption and emissions, and increased its emission efficiency. The P-MAX vessels also show good figures. On the other hand, our two IMOIIMAX vessels have increased their bunker consumption and emissions, and shown reduced emission efficiency. The reason is that the two vessels have been operating for five years since they were newly built, and they will now undergo planned special survey dockings and, among other things, be given new anti-fouling paint.

Risks and risk management

As with all commercial enterprises, Concordia Maritime's activities are associated with certain risks, the occurrence of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, earnings, financial position and future prospects or result in a fall in value for the Company's shares, meaning that investors could lose all or part of their invested capital. The risks below are not presented in order of importance and are not the only risks and uncertainties the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Company is currently unaware or does not consider significant may also develop into factors that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, earnings, financial position or future prospects. The description does not claim to be complete or exact, as risks and their extent vary over time.

The overall risk areas are corporate risks, market risks, operational risks and financial risks.

  • Corporate risks refer mainly to overall risks related to the actual management and operation of the Company. These include risks associated with trademarks, employees, liquidity and funding.
  • Market-related risks are primarily risks associated with changes in the external environment and market. The Board and management have only have a limited opportunity to control these risks in the short term, but must still deal with them in the longer-term planning of the business. These include risks associated with the economy, freight rates, oil price movements and political risks.
  • Operational risks are risks related to the management of the operational side of the business. These include risks associated with insurance issues, the environment and ship operation.
  • Credit and financial risks are mainly counterparty risks relating to customers, shipyards and other subcontractors and cooperation partners.

More information about risks and risk management can be found in Concordia Maritime's 2019 annual report, which is available at www.concordiamaritime.com.
