Q2 weaker than Q1 – but continued belief in an autumn market turnaround

Developments during the second quarter were largely as we expected – namely, weak but still stronger than the corresponding quarter the previous year. Among the reasons were OPEC's production cuts, extended seasonal maintenance of refineries prior to IMO 2020 and extensive deliveries of new vessels.

THE INCREASED NUMBER OF VESSEL DELIVERIES is largely due to delays. The vessels should actually have been delivered in the first quarter but came into service in spring instead. Normal refinery maintenance has been longer and more extensive than usual this year due to conversion work and preparations for IMO 2020. Overall, increased supply of vessels in combination with lower demand for transportation to and from refineries has contributed to lower market rates.

Market developments and the comparison with 2018 are clearly reflected in our own operating result for the quarter, which amounted to SEK –7.8 (–55.5) million. Result before tax was SEK –39.2 (–57.1) million. EBITDA was SEK 53.3 (–9.3) million, corresponding to USD 5.6 (–1.2) million.

Continuing belief in a stronger market

During the first half of 2019, the tanker markets produced voyage result per day levels that exceeded the corresponding period in the slump year 2018 by 50-100 percent.

Our view of market development going forward is largely unchanged. Several factors still point to a gradually stronger market in autumn. In addition to positive fundamentals in the form of sustained high demand for oil, seasonality and declining net tanker fleet growth, US exports of crude oil and oil products and the consequences of IMO 2020 are also helping to create exciting conditions.

With regard to OPEC's production, we had expected a decision on a gradual return to normal production rates at their July meeting. This did not turn out to be the case. If their decision to extend the production cuts persists, we are unlikely to get the extra boost we expected and hoped for. How this will transpire remains to be seen. Continuing production cuts would continue to decrease OECD oil stocks, which are currently in line with the important 5-year average. It is therefore not beyond the realms of possibility that OPEC will reconsider its decision as early as this autumn.

Higher proportion of fleet employed on the spot market

As a consequence of our belief in a gradually stronger market, we decided not to extend the charters for Stena Paris and Stena Provence during the quarter. On the other hand, we have signed a consecutive voyage charter agreement with a customer in Brazil for a new route between the US and Brazil. Under the agreement, the customer uses the entire capacity of two P-MAX tankers at a freight price level we consider to be

satisfactory. The contract runs until the second quarter of 2020.

Rising geopolitical tension

Here and now, our thoughts are with the crew of Stena Impero. On July 19, the ship, a sister ship of our IMOIIMAX vessels, was boarded by the Iranian authorities. On that date, Stena Impero was passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The increased risk situation in and around the Strait of Hormuz is unfortunate. Approximately a third of the world's total oil transport passes through the strait. Our vessels also regularly use the shipping route. Each individual trip is assessed from a safety perspective, with crew safety the overriding priority. At present, we only pass through the area with a military escort, which has worked well so far.

Business activities

Spot market earnings for the product tanker fleet in the second quarter of 2019 were USD 15,100 (11,300) per day, which was higher than the average earnings of USD 11,400 (8,200) per day for the market1). Earnings for the Suezmax fleet in the quarter were USD 19,200 (14,200) per day, compared with the average earnings of USD 15,700 (12,700) 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, three of the vessels were employed on time charters. The other seven 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 Q2 were USD 14,900 (12,400) per day. For vessels employed in the spot market, average earnings for the quarter were USD 15,100 (11,300). For the six-month period, average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, were USD 16,200 (13,400) per day. For vessels employed on the spot market, average earnings for the six-month period were USD 16,300 (12,500).

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 19,200 (14,200) per day for the quarter and USD 23,200 (13,700) per day for the six-month period.

Repairs and drydock

During the quarter, Stena Primorsk went into drydock and was off hire for 21 days. The drydocking for Stena Primorsk has continued in Q3 and is taking longer than planned. The vessel is expected to leave the shipyard on 15 August.

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 higher earnings per day than the Clarksons theoretical index in the second quarter of 2019. Niche trades for the P-MAX vessels and a good performance from the Stena Bulk pool are among the main drivers.

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 –39.2 (–57.0) million. The improved tanker market resulted in slightly higher earnings for vessels on the spot market than in the previous year, although lower than in Q1 2019, and this is reflected in the operating result of SEK –7.8 (–55.5) million. Costs for operation and administration were at the same level as in the same period the previous year. Financial net for the quarter was weaker than in Q2 2018. In the previous year, a revaluation of spread positions produced a positive one-time effect of SEK 16.6 million in financial net.

Equity

Equity per share was SEK 23.40 (25.94).

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 2019, this hedging was valued at SEK –12.4 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 –30.9 (19.4) million as a result of the change in the market value of the bunker positions where hedge accounting is applied. The closing balance for the translation differences, which are recognised in equity, amounted to SEK 523.4 (490.3) 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 5.1 (0.9) 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 –60.3 (15.6) 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–June 2021. Hedge accounting is applied for the position, and the fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income. A fair value change of SEK –15.5 million for this position was reported in OCI during the quarter.

The Company also has positions of a more speculative nature for the price differential between bunker grades HSFO and MGO for the first six months of 2021. The total volume is 12,000 mt, with an average spread of USD 293. Market value changes for the positions are recognised in the income statement, and amount to SEK –1.6 (29.7) million for the quarter. They are classified as a non-current liability in the Company's balance sheet.

The Company has FFA positions of a more speculative nature in the price developments for freight route TD20 for Q4 2019. The total volume is 30,000 mt. Market value changes for the positions are recognised in the income statement, and amount to SEK 0.6 (–0.3) million for the quarter. They are classified as a current receivable in the Company's balance sheet. The FFA positions for the freight route TD20 for Q1 and Q2 2019 have been realised during the first half of the year, generating a positive cash flow effect of SEK 0.2 million.

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 June 2019, the fleet's carrying amount did not exceed its recoverable amount, which meant that no impairment was recognised.

Seasonal variations

Three vessels from the sailing fleet of 15 (10 owned, 3 on bareboat contracts and 2 on 50% time charters) were out on time charters at the end of the quarter. 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 June 2019 was 6 (6). The Group employed 519 (488) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 20.9 (32,1) million, with intragroup invoicing representing SEK 0.1 (0.0) million of this amount. The Parent Company's available liquid funds at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 1,086.3 (1,193.9) million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and unutilised credit facilities.

Other

During the quarter, the Board decided to implement a new legal structure in 2020. This will means that ship ownership and taxation will take place in Denmark.

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 vessels were involved in any incident that resulted in bunker oil or cargo discharging into the water during the quarter. During the quarter, there was no workplace incident resulting in an individual employee being unable to return to a work shift on the day after the incident.

There was one medical treatment case in the quarter (Stena Polaris: a crew member fell, resulting in an ankle injury) and there were no restricted work cases.

There was one incident that included material damage during the quarter (Stena Premium: anchor broke).

Two incidents classified as high potential near misses occurred during the quarter (Stena Image: small deck spillage during loading and Stena Performance: buoy mooring came loose).

Concordia Maritime's vessels were not involved in any piracy-related incidents.

External controls

Seven vetting inspections were conducted during the quarter. There were 12 observations during these inspections, resulting in an average of 1.7 observations per inspection. There were 16 vetting inspections during the first six-month period of 2019, with 34 observations, resulting in an average of 2.1 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 0.18 tonnes. The outcome for the first six months of 2019 was a decline in consumption of 0.27 tonnes, which was slightly below the target for the year. 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.

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 810 (USD 91) 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 margin of 2.36% as at 1 January 2019 and the Group's latest updated assessment as to 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. The report has not been reviewed by the Company's auditors.
