PRESIDENT'S OVERVIEW Really tough second quarter

As expected, the tanker market remained weak during the second quarter of 2018. The reasons are well known but are worth repeating: The combination of OPEC's reduced production and stock withdrawals in the consuming countries has resulted in a reduced transport demand for both crude oil and product tankers. In addition, there have been extensive ship deliveries and overall this has resulted in low freight rates – for us and the rest of the sector.

The goals of the production cuts were to get oil prices up and to force a reduction in the record-high global oil stocks. Both goals have now been achieved. Oil prices have increased by over 50 percent compared with a year ago, while oil stocks have gradually declined and at the time of writing are back below an average five-year level.

Increased production

With the recent return to more normal stock levels, both OPEC and Russia have decided to increase production – and, ultimately, exports. This will bring a rise in demand for tank tonnage in the period ahead. In parallel, we expect that current high scrap prices and investments necessitated by new legal requirements will result in a continued phasing-out of older vessels. So far in 2018 (as of July), a total of 113 vessels have gone for recycling – compared with 78 in the full year 2017. If this rate persists, we may see almost zero growth rate in certain segments this year.

A progressively stronger market

The tanker market is both cyclical and volatile in nature. From a historical perspective, we can see that high peaks are followed by deep troughs and vice versa – and the fluctuations often come fast. This presents both opportunities and challenges. It is important to have a strategy that enables us to quickly adapt based on each given situation. To grasp the opportunities and deal with the troughs, we are working actively with our fleet. When times are good, it is about optimising opportunities, when they are harder, it is about ensuring

employment – and creating the right starting position for when the market turnaround comes.

And this is where we are now. The combination of increased demand for tanker transport and moderate fleet growth means that we maintain our belief in a progressively stronger market at the end of the year. We also position our fleet on the basis of this scenario. The majority of our vessels are on the open spot market and are fully ready to start transporting freight when the turnaround comes.

Strengthened positions

During the quarter, we decided to participate in charters of three suezmax vessels with Stena Bulk. Another suezmax vessel was chartered in after the end of the quarter. By chartering in the tankers, we strengthen our presence in the crude oil tanker segment and continue to increase our earning capacity. We have now brought in a total of ten vessels on short-term charters (50% share) during the last year – six MR (ECO) and four suezmax tankers. This means we are continuing to take advantage of the favourable chartering opportunities that arise in weak markets. During the quarter, we also secured employment for the P-MAX tanker Stena Paris for a further year. To be given a renewal of confidence for the sixth consecutive year by one of the world's largest oil companies is obviously really pleasing.

So, to reiterate what we previously said – the market is still weak but the fundamentals continue to point to an impending upturn.

Kim Ullman, CEO

Business activities

Spot market earnings for the product tanker fleet in the second quarter of 2018 were USD 11,300 (12,000) per day, which was higher than the average earnings for the market1), USD 8,200 (9,600), but lower than for the same quarter in 2017. Earnings for the suezmax fleet in the second quarter were USD 14,200 (17,600) per day, compared with the average earnings for the market1) of USD 12,700 (15,200) per day.

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 longer contracts (time charters). The other seven vessels were employed in the spot market under agreements with Stena Bulk. The two long-term chartered IMOIIMAX vessels Stena Image and Stena Important also continued to be employed under the cooperation with Stena Bulk.

The Company continues to position itself for the progressively stronger market that is expected, and two MR (ECO) vessels were chartered in during the quarter. These are joint charters with Stena Bulk, and Concordia Maritime's share amounts to 50 percent.

During the present quarter, the P-MAX vessel Stena Paris has been chartered out for 12 months.

Earnings

Average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, during the second quarter were USD 12,400 (13,200) per day. For vessels employed on the spot market, average earnings for the quarter were USD 11,300 (12,000). For the six-month period, average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, were USD 13,400 (14,400) per day. For vessels employed on the spot market, average earnings for the six-month period were USD 12,500 (13,300).

Suezmax

The long-term chartered suezmax tanker Stena Supreme (158,000 dwt) is employed on 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.

As part of fleet positioning ahead of the progressively stronger market that is expected, three suezmax vessels were chartered in.

The positioning has continued during the present quarter, and another suezmax vessel has been chartered in.

These are all joint charters with Stena Bulk, and Concordia Maritime's share amounts to 50 percent. The chartered vessels are employed on the spot market via Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool.

Earnings

Average earnings for the suezmax fleet were USD 14,200 (17,600) per day for the quarter and USD 13,700 (21,400) per day for the sixmonth period.

Repairs and drydock

There were no repairs or drydocking during the quarter.

2) Clarksons w.w. average MR Clean Earnings

3) 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 2018. Niche trades for the P-MAX vessels and a good performance from the Stena Bulk pool, given the weak market, 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 35 million. The price of an IMOII class MR tanker like our IMOIIMAX vessels was about USD 35 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 59 million.

The charts show the value at the end of each period and refer to standard vessels.

Scrapping and deliveries

The scrapping rate has increased as a result of a weak tanker market and investment requirements due to new IMO regulations.

Financial summary

Result

Result after tax for the quarter was SEK –57.0 (–43.9) million. The continuing weak market meant low earnings for vessels on the spot market, which generated a negative EBITDA during the quarter and the first 6 months. Costs for operation and administration are at the same level as in the same period the previous year.

Equity

Equity per share was SEK 25.94 (38.29).

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. In the second quarter of 2018, investments in foreign subsidiaries were partially hedged through the forward sale of USD 4 million as hedging instruments. The duration is 24 months. At the end of the quarter, this contract was valued at TSEK –9 million and was recognised in the hedging reserve through OCI.

The Company has entered into a bunker hedge, which at the end of the quarter covered a total of 15,600 mt at an average price of USD 591, duration Jan–Dec 2020. The bunker hedge's fair value changes are recognised in other comprehensive income and the hedging reserve in equity. A fair value change of SEK 8.0 million for the bunker swap was reported in OCI during the quarter.

The closing amount in the hedging reserve at the end of the quarter was SEK 19.4million. The closing balance for the translation differences, which are recognised in equity, amounted to SEK 490.3 (414.3) 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 0.9 (45.2) million.

The Company's net investments in financial assets during the quarter amounted to SEK 15.6 (88.6) million and were related to purchases of bonds and equities. These are classified as short-term deposits in the Company's balance sheet.

The Company has taken positions of a more speculative nature for the price differential between bunker grades HSFO and MGO for the full year 2020 and the first six months of 2021. The total volume is 54,000 mt, with an average spread of USD 282. Fair value changes in the positions are recognised in the income statement, SEK 29.7 (0.0) million for the quarter, and are classified as non-current receivables in the Company's balance sheet.

During the quarter, the Company has also taken positions of a more speculative nature in price development for freight route TC2 for the last quarter of 2019 and freight route TD20 for the first quarter of 2019. The total volume is 45,000 mt. Fair value changes in the positions are recognised in the income statement, and amount to SEK –0.3 (0.0) million for the quarter. These are classified as 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 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 2018, the fleet's carrying amount did not exceed its recoverable amount and no impairment loss was therefore recognised.

Seasonal variations

Three vessels from the sailing fleet of 23 (10 owned, 3 on bareboat contracts and 10 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 earnings are affected by the seasonal variations that occur in tanker shipping.

Employees

The number of employees in the Group at 30/06/2018 was 6 (6). The Group employed 488 (468) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 50.4 (8.1) million. Intragroup invoicing represented SEK 0.6 (0.0) million of this amount.

Other

To generate returns on cash and cash equivalents, the Company has deposited USD 3 (26.8) million in a USD account. As the maturity of the deposit is less than three months, it is classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Events after the reporting date

There are no significant events to report after the end of the reporting date.

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. This was another quarter in which there were no workplace accidents on vessels resulting in an individual employee being unable to return to a work shift on the day after the accident. There were no medical treatment cases or restricted work cases during the quarter.

There were four incidents that included material damage during the quarter (Stena Performance: two mooring ropes caught in the mooring boat's propeller, Stena Perros: contact with the lock chamber wall while transiting the Panama Canal x 2, Stena Premium: the vessel's own anchor damaged a tank). One incident was classified as high potential near miss during the quarter (Stena Important had a short "black out" – there were no vessels in the vicinity and the safety system re-started the electricity immediately).

Concordia Maritime's vessels were not involved in any piracyrelated incidents.

External controls

Ten vetting inspections were conducted during the quarter. There were 21 observations during these inspections, resulting in an average of 2.1 observations per inspection. No single inspection had more than 5 observations. This outcome for the quarter is well in line with the Company's goal to have an average of less than 4 observations per

inspection for the fleet and to never have an inspection with more than 5 observations. 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 fell by 0.05 tonnes (12 months rolling). This is less than the target for the year, which is to reduce consumption by 0.3 tonnes per day. Relatively major improvements have earlier been implemented to reduce bunker consumption. The annual target of reducing consumption by a further 0.3 tonnes per day presents a challenge.

Reduced bunker consumption means lower emissions. CO2 emissions decreased by 114 tonnes during the quarter. SOx emissions decreased by 4.5 tonnes and NOx emissions by 3 tonnes.

Shares in subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral for the Company's liabilities

1) The significant value decline in vessels and equipment compared with the comparative period is an effect of the sale of two vessels, which are now chartered in on a bareboat basis and whose contracts are classified as operating leases. This is also the main reason for the reduction in liabilities compared with the comparative period.

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 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 2017 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 policies have been applied as in the most recent annual report. From 1 January 2016, it has been decided to report spot charter income and costs on a gross basis under 'Spot charter income' and 'Operating costs, ships' in the consolidated income statement. These were previously netted under 'Spot charter income' and the change is being made in order to clearly reflect the individual components of the spot charter result. The Group's income and operating expenses were affected, but the change did not have any net effect on the Group's operating result.

With effect from the 2018 financial year, IAS 18 Revenue will be replaced by IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company has chosen to apply a prospective transition, which means that there has been no restatement of comparative figures. Application of IFRS 15 has not resulted in any significant changes in the Group's financial statements.

As part of the transition to IFRS 15, the Company has divided time charter income into a portion related to leasing of vessels and a portion related to operating activities. The division of time charter income is based on the vessel's cost composition, i.e. the relationship between operating expenses and capital costs.

The Company's surplus liquidity is invested in bonds and shares. With effect from the 2018 financial year, these are reported as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" in accordance with IFRS 9, which means they are recognised at fair value in the income statement. The accounting is unchanged from the previous accounting under IAS 39. The bonds and shares are measured at fair value according to Level 1, observable market data.

The transition to IFRS 9 has not had any material impact on the income statement, other comprehensive income or the statement of financial position in respect of the hedge accounting applied in accordance with IAS 39 for the interest rate swap that was terminated in 2017 and for which the capital gain is recognised in the income statement through OCI over the term of the agreement.

Hedge accounting is applied for the Company's bunker hedge, which means that fair value is recognised through other comprehensive income. The positions of a more speculative nature for the price differential between bunker grades HSFO and MGO in 2020 and 2021 are classified as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" and are recognised in the income statement.

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 2017, 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.
