The tanker market began 2018 just as weakly as it ended 2017. OPEC'S production cuts continue to have a negative effect on transport demand. However, underlying demand for oil and oil products is good and the previously high stock levels will soon be down to more normal levels, which in the long term will affect the market positively. Overall, the weak market led to a negative result for the quarter. Result before tax was SEK –38.7 (–41.2) million. EBITDA was SEK 7.0 (29.3) million, corresponding to USD 0.9 (3.3) million.
We continued the process of adapting and positioning the fleet during the quarter – partly in response to the weak market, but also to prepare for the upturn we expect in the second half of 2018. During the quarter, we decided to charter in another two MR (ECO) vessels. As with previous charters, these are joint charters with Stena Bulk, and Concordia Maritime's share amounts to 50 percent. In parallel, we extended the contracts for the currently chartered MR (ECO) vessels. By chartering in a total of six vessels we have now increased earning capacity significantly.
At the same time, we continue our efforts to identify niche trades for our P-MAX vessels, where their unique properties are particularly beneficial. Earnings in the product tanker segment contributed to another quarter of higher earnings than the overall market. In the product tanker segment, our earnings were just over USD 14,000 per day, compared with the market average of about USD 10,000.
We were spared from any serious incidents and accidents during the quarter. This is the result of focused efforts, with considerable resources being allocated to training and education, compliance with procedures and monitoring of processes. Nothing comes before the safety of our crews on board. This is our highest priority, regardless of economic or market conditions. We have also continued our efforts to reduce vessel-related environmental impacts. Total bunker
consumption was reduced by 0.2 tonnes per day during the quarter. This in turn reduced carbon dioxide emissions by more than 349 tonnes, sulphur oxide emissions by 4.5 tonnes and nitrogen oxides by 9 tonnes (12 months rolling).
It is important to point out that our operations are functioning impeccably. We have well-managed, flexible ships, qualified crews and an efficient technical and commercial operation. Financial development is entirely a consequence of the current weak market.
Our assessment of future development is unchanged. We still believe that the market will gradually strengthen from mid-2018 onwards. We expect that the return to normal production rates in OPEC and other oil-producing countries, in combination with generally increased demand for oil and a return to more normal stock levels, will contribute to increased transport demand. Deliveries of new vessels have slowed, while scrapping of older vessels has accelerated. A total of 66 vessels were scrapped in the first quarter of 2018, which is two-thirds of total scrappings for 2017. Taking all this into account, we continue to expect increased demand for tanker transport and a progressively more balanced and stronger tanker market in the second half of 2018.

Spot market earnings for the product tanker fleet in the first quarter of 2018 were USD 14,000 (14,800) per day, which was higher than average earnings for the market1), USD 10,200 million, but lower than the same quarter in 2017. Earnings for the suezmax tanker Stena Supreme for the quarter were USD 12,700 (24,000) per day, compared with average earnings for the market1) of USD 9,000 (19,800) per day.
The ten 65,200 dwt P-MAX tankers are the backbone of Concordia Maritime's fleet. At the end of the reporting period, five of the vessels were employed on longer contracts (time charters). The other five vessels were employed in the spot market under agreements with Stena Bulk. The two chartered IMOIIMAX vessels Stena Image and Stena Important continued to be employed under the cooperation with Stena Bulk.
As part of fleet positioning ahead of the progressively stronger market that is expected, another two MR (ECO) vessels were chartered in, while the contracts for two of the currently chartered MR (ECO) vessels were extended by a further year. These are all joint charters with Stena Bulk, and Concordia Maritime's share amounts to 50 percent.
Average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, during the first quarter were USD 14,400 (15,700) per day. For vessels employed on the spot market, average earnings for the quarter were USD 14,000 (14,800).
The 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.
Average earnings for Stena Supreme during the quarter were USD 12,700 (23,700) per day.
There were no repairs and drydocking during the quarter.
Updated average earnings for the current quarter (Q2) 2018 as of 23rd April are:
| Suezmax spot | \$14,500 |
|---|---|
| Product tankers spot | \$14,300 |
The stated average spot earnings are based on initial projections, therefore the actual final earnings may differ materially from the above statement.

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 first 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.

At the end of the year, 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 58.5 million.

Result after tax for the quarter was SEK –38.7 (–41.2) million. The weak market resulted in low earnings for vessels on the spot market.
Equity per share was SEK 25.25 (42.33).
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 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap totalling USD 75 million and expiring in 2021, to provide protection against interest rate fluctuations. During Q3 2017, the Company decided to terminate this swap, generating a positive liquidity effect of SEK 13.5 million. Fair value changes for the interest rate swap previously reported in OCI and accumulated in a separate component of equity (hedging reserve) are recognised in the income statement over the original term of the contract. income for the quarter transferred to the Company's income statement is SEK 0.9 million.
The Company has entered into a bunker hedge related to the IMO's new sulphur regulations that come into force in 2020. The total hedge covers 6,000 mt at an average price of USD 549 per mt and is valid until 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 1.5 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 12.3 million. The closing balance for the translation differences, which are recognised in equity, amounted to SEK 407.6 (533.9) million at the reporting date. The changes are recognised in equity through OCI.
Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK 0.0 (4.6) million.
The Company's investments in financial assets during the quarter amounted to SEK 55.2 (65.3) million and were related to bond purchases. 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 45,000 mt. Fair value changes in the positions are recognised in the income statement, SEK 13.7 (0.0) million for the quarter, and are classified as non-current receivables in the Company's balance sheet.
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 2017, the fleet's carrying amount did not exceed its recoverable amount and no impairment loss was therefore recognised.
Five vessels from our sailing fleet of 17 (ten owned, three on bareboat contracts and four 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.
The number of employees in the Group at 31/03/2018 was 6 (6). The Group employed 474 (475) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company.
The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 18.3 (8.1) million. Intragroup invoicing represented SEK 0.5 (0.0) million of this amount.
To generate returns on cash and cash equivalents, the Company has deposited USD 18 (60) million in a USD account. As the maturity of the deposit is less than three months, it is classified as cash and cash equivalents.
There are no significant events to report after the end of the reporting date.

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 was one incident that included material damage during the quarter (stroke of lightning took out the FM radio on Stena President). Two incidents were classified as high potential near misses during the quarter (Stena Important and a tugboat came too close to each other during operation in port and onboard Stena Performance, 10 litres of gasoline were spilled on deck during unloading when a welded joint on a pipe gave way).
Concordia Maritime's vessels were not involved in any piracyrelated incidents.
Nine vetting inspections were conducted during the quarter. There were 18 observations during these inspections, resulting in an average of 2.0 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.
Efforts to reduce bunker consumption continued during the quarter. Bunker consumption in tonnes per day at sea fell by 0.2 tonnes (12 months rolling). This is slightly less than the target for the year, which is to reduce consumption by 0.3 tonnes per day. Relatively large improvements have been made in reducing bunker consumption. This year's target to reduce consumption by a further 0.3 tonnes per day will therefore be a challenge.
Reduced bunker consumption means lower emissions. CO2 emissions decreased by 349 tonnes during the quarter. SOx emissions decreased by 4.5 tonnes and NOx emissions by 9 tonnes.

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 in the price differential between the 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.
