Momentum in the market at last!

So it finally happened. After essentially several years of weak markets, we saw a clear strengthening of the tanker market towards the end of the third quarter. This has continued after the end of the quarter – but there is a lagging effect until this can be seen in our figures. All segments are now in a positive trend – and several fundamental structural factors indicate that the strong market will continue in the period ahead.

Developments during the third quarter were largely as we expected. We saw the turnaround first in the large crude oil tanker segments, VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax. After the end of the quarter we also saw it clearly in our main segment, MR product tankers, and these are strong overall upturns we are talking about. In both the VLCC and Suezmax segments, rates have been well above USD 100,000 per day for short periods – up to USD 200–300,000 per day on some individual days. Rates at those levels are obviously not sustainable in the long term – but they are a clear pointer to how quickly and sharply the market can fluctuate when all tankers are employed and freight costs, almost regardless of level, only account for a very small proportion of the price of the final product. In the MR segment, which showed the usual time lag, we saw listings of up to USD 25,000 per day, the highest in a few years.

Several drivers working in tandem

The drivers behind the upturn include the structural factors we have been mentioning for some time: underlying stable demand for oil, extensive US exports and declining net tanker fleet growth. In parallel, the installation of scrubbers on a relatively large number of vessels has also reduced the total available fleet, which has further contributed to the rising rates.

The upturn was then further strengthened by the increasingly tense geopolitical situation. This includes the attack on two production facilities in Saudi Arabia in mid-September and the imposition of sanctions on tankers owned by entities of the large Chinese shipping group Cosco and on vessels that have loaded in Venezuela during the last year.

The market development has, of course, not materialised in the figures for the quarter. It always takes time for the higher rates to be reflected in our own earnings. Contracts that have been entered into and voyages must be completed first. Result before tax for the third quarter was SEK –35.6 (–66.9) million. EBITDA was SEK 52.4 (–18.0) million, corresponding to USD 5.4 (–2.1) million. The loss also includes costs for the drydocking of Stena Primorsk and Stena Progress. Obviously, it is not pleasant to present another quarter of negative results, but the important thing is that we are now in a new, significantly stronger market situation.

Well positioned

Looking at the current status of contracted freights in Q4, the upward trend is clear to see. The figures show that we freighted out just under 50 percent in Q4 at rates that give a 50–100 percent higher daily result compared with Q3.

It is now important to deliver in the improved market, and we look forward to doing so. We have a well-functioning operation and consider ourselves well positioned. After the end of the quarter, we have chartered out three of our P-MAX vessels. The contracts are for two years, with an option to extend for a further year. The charters are with a strategically very important customer – with a transport need for which the P-MAX vessels are very well suited. The transaction also ensures that we secure employment and earnings, which in turn enables us to take on new positions ourselves, for example by chartering in vessels – thereby broadening earnings capacity.

Having said all this, the tanker market is now in the position we have awaited for several years. Continuous updates and analysis of developments can be found on Concordia Maritime's website. Follow us there!

Business activities

Spot market earnings for the product tanker fleet in the third quarter of 2019 were USD 9,600 (9,900) per day, which was lower than the average earnings of USD 10 000 (6,300) per day for the market1). Earnings for the Suezmax fleet in the quarter were USD 21,300 (15,300) per day, compared with the average earnings of USD 16,600 (11,600) per day for the market1).

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, none of the vessels were employed on time charters (TC). All vessels were employed in the spot market under agreements with Stena Bulk. The two IMOIIMAX vessels Stena Image and Stena Important also continued to be employed on long-term charters under the cooperation with Stena Bulk.

Earnings

Average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, during the third quarter were USD 10,200 (11,200) per day. For vessels employed in the spot market, average earnings for the quarter were USD 9,600 (9,900). For the year, average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, were USD 14,400 (12,600) per day. For vessels employed on the spot market, average earnings for the year were USD 14,200 (11,500).

Suezmax fleet

During the period, the Suezmax fleet consisted of the Suezmax tanker Stena Supreme (158,000 000 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. The pool is a long-time market leader in terms of suezmax tanker earnings.

Earnings

Average earnings for the suezmax fleet were USD 21,300 (15,300) per day for the quarter and USD 22,600 (14,600) per day for the year.

Repairs and drydock

Stena Primorsk's drydocking was finished during the quarter. The vessel was off hire for a total of 69 days

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 achieved lower earnings per day than the Clarksons theoretical index in the third quarter of 2019. Some of the P-MAX vessels have had challenging positions during the quarter and IMOIIMAX vessels have had relatively few chemical cargoes to deal with.

Concordia Maritime's earnings in the Suezmax segment were also higher than the index, which shows that the Stena Sonangol pool remains one of the industry's leaders.

Newbuilding prices

At the end of the quarter, the price of a standard product tanker was about USD 36.5 million. The price of an IMOII class MR tanker like our IMOIIMAX vessels was about USD 39.5 million. This is the same price as when we placed our order with the shipyard in 2012. The price of a standard Suezmax tanker at the end of the quarter was about USD 61.5 million.

Financial summary

Result

Result after tax for the quarter was SEK –35.6 (–67.0) million. The quarter was characterised by a challenging tanker market. An IMOIIMAX bonus of USD 5 million was received during the quarter. Costs for operation and administration were at the same level as in the same period the previous year.

Equity

Equity per share was SEK 23.08 (24.24).

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 Q3 2019, this hedging was valued at SEK –30.7 million and was recognised in the hedging reserve through OCI.

The closing amount in the hedging reserve at the end of the quarter was SEK –57.8 (11.8) million as a result of the change in the market value of the Company's bunker hedge. The closing balance for the translation differences, which are recognised in equity, amounted to SEK 572.9 (483.7) 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 24.5 (0.3) million. The investments for the period are related to periodic drydocking. The Company's net investments in financial assets during the quarter amounted to SEK –8.9 (–53.5) million and were

related to trading in equities and bonds. These are classified as short-term deposits in the Company's balance sheet. The Company has entered into a bunker hedge, which at the end of the quarter covered a total of 70,000 mt at an average price of USD 634.5 per mt, effective November 2019 to June 2021. Hedge accounting is applied for the bunker hedge, and the fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income. A fair value change of SEK –26 million for this position was reported in OCI during the quarter.

The Company also has positions for the price differential between bunker grades HSFO and MGO for the first six months of 2020. The total volume is 12,000 mt, with an average spread of USD 298. Market value changes for the positions are recognised in the income statement, and amount to SEK 6.5 (–2.6) million for the quarter. They are classified as a non-current liability in the Company's balance sheet.

The Company has FFA positions related to price developments for freight route TD20 for Q4 2019 and for year 2020. The total volume for the positions for the fourth quarter is 30,000 mt and 84,000 for 2020. Market value changes for the positions for 2019 are recognised in the income statement, and amount to SEK 1.4 (0.3) million for the quarter. They are classified as current receivables in the Company's balance sheet. Market value changes for the positions for 2020 are recognised in the income statement, and amount to SEK -0.4 (0.0) million. They are classified as current and non-current liabilities in the Company's balance sheet.

The Company also has FFA positions in freight route TC2 for 2020. The total volume is 24,000 mt. Market value changes for the positions are recognised in the income statement, and amount to SEK –14 (0.0) thousand for the quarter. They are classified as current and non-current liabilities 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 cashgenerating 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 June 2019, the fleet's carrying amount did not exceed its recoverable amount, which meant that no impairment was recognised.

Seasonal variations

All of the 14 vessels in the sailing fleet (10 owned, 3 on bareboat contracts and 1 on a 50% time charter) were employed on the spot market at the end of the quarter whereof two vessels employed on CVC contracts. 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 income is affected by the seasonal variations that occur in tanker shipping.

Employees

The number of employees in the Group at 30 September 2019 was 6 (6). The Group employed 520 (494) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 6.0 (49,7) million, with intragroup invoicing representing SEK 0.2 (0.0) million of this amount. The Parent Company's available liquid funds at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 1,068.3 (1,137.9) million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and unutilised credit facilities.

Other

During Q2, the Board decided to implement a new legal structure in 2020. This means that effective management and taxation will take place in Denmark.

During Q4 some negative one off items related to the closing of two offices and the termination of 3 employments will be accounted for.

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.

No Concordia Maritime vessel was 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 day after the incident.

The Company's vessels were not involved in any piracyrelated incidents during the quarter. It is pleasing to note that there were no incidents classified as material damage, medical treatment case, restricted work case, high potential near miss or high risk observation during the quarter.

External controls

Ten vetting inspections were conducted during the quarter. There were 19 observations recorded during these inspections, resulting in an average of 1.9 observations per inspection.

There were 26 vetting inspections conducted in the period January–September 2019, with 53 observations recorded, resulting in an average of 2.0 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. Bunker consumption in tonnes per day at sea for the quarter fell by 0.31 tonnes. The outcome for the first nine months of 2019 was a reduction in consumption of 0.28 tonnes. Reduced bunker consumption means lower emissions. See the table on page 8.

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 2018 annual report, which is available at www.concordiamaritime.com.

Accounting policies

This interim financial report in summary for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and relevant provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. For the Group and Parent Company, the same accounting principles have been applied as in the most recent annual report with the exception of IFRS 16, which is described in more detail below.

IFRS 16 is effective for the reporting of leases with effect from the 2019 financial year. As a lessee, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying

asset, and a lease liability, representing the obligation to make lease payments, for three long-term leases for vessels contracted in on a bareboat basis. Recognition exemptions are allowed for leases that have a low value and leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. In the income statement, depreciation is recognised separately from interest expenses associated with the lease liability. The Company has chosen to apply the modified retrospective approach for the transition to IFRS 16, which means that comparatives have not been restated. The total effect of the transition to IFRS 16 on the Company's financial statements was an increase of SEK 766 (USD 86) million for both assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. The effect relates

to two of the three leases and is calculated using the Group's incremental borrowing rate of 2.36% at 1 January 2019 and the Group's latest updated assessment of whether any options to extend the leases or acquire the leased vessels will be exercised or not. Both contracts contain a fixed lease payment, but one contract also has variable lease payments based on LIBOR + 2.975% of the remaining accumulated fixed lease amount for the total charter period. The two contracts contain annual purchase options from years three and four onwards. The third contract was reported as a finance lease before the transition to IFRS 16 and the transition did not therefore have any effect on the accounting for the lease.

The Concordia Maritime Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The Group applies the same accounting policies and calculation methods in the quarterly reports as in the annual report for 2018, in addition to those described in this report.

The Group's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Board of Directors and CEO confirm that the interim report provides

a true and fair overview of the operations, financial position and performance of the Parent Company and Group, and describes material risks and uncertainties faced by the Parent Company and Group companies.

Audit review report

Concordia Maritime AB Corp. ID 556068-5819

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Concordia Maritime AB (publ) for the third quarter and the nine months ended 30 September 2019. 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 a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of the 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 International Standards on Auditing and

other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

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.

Related party transactions

Concordia Maritime has a small internal organisation, and purchases services from related-party companies in Stena Sphere, which include Stena Bulk.
