PRESIDENT'S OVERVIEW Continued challenging markets

Concordia Maritime continued to generate higher earnings than the overall market in the second quarter, but the generally weak market still led to a negative result for the quarter. Overall, we reported a result before tax of SEK –43.9 (12.4) million. EBITDA was SEK 10.0 (57.2) million, corresponding to USD 1.1 (7.0) million.

As expected, the second quarter of 2017 was weak. In addition to the natural seasonal decline, high inventory levels, continued reductions in OPEC production and extensive ship deliveries contributed to generally low tanker market rates. Compared with the same period the previous year, average rates were about 30 percent lower in the MR segment and almost 50 percent lower in the Suezmax segment.

As far as our own operations are concerned, all vessels in the fleet performed well, with good employment. Several of them have continued to operate in niche trades during the quarter, which contributed to higher income than the overall market also in this quarter. In the product tanker segment, our spot income was USD 11,700 per day, compared with the market average of about USD 9,500.

The fact that we are outperforming the market quarter after quarter shows both the strength of our vessels and our chartering strategy. It also shows the expertise that exist within our organisation and in the network we have access to. Tanker shipping is highly cyclical in nature, and we are not, of course, able to influence fundamental drivers such as demand for oil and little opportunity to influence the size of the global fleet.

Active work on the fleet

Given the weak market, we are doing what we can to optimise income here and now, and to prepare for the upturn we are expecting. Significant events during the quarter include the chartering out of the P-MAX tanker Stena Paris and the chartering in of two MR tankers. Stena Paris has been employed on consecutive voyages for one of the world's largest oil companies for several years. The freight under this contract has been spot market related. Now that we have renegotiated the arrangement to a more classic time charter, we ensure employment and income for the vessel for a year ahead. This is also fully in line with our aim to concentrate employment on niche trades where the P-MAX vessels' unique properties are most beneficial. Given the challenging market conditions, we are pleased with the level of the contract. However, it is important that we ensure a long-term

perspective and continuing cooperation with one of the world's largest oil companies.

The chartering in of two modern IMO2/3 class MR tankers clearly demonstrates our ability to act quickly when the right opportunity arises – this time by taking positions counter-cyclically, thereby strengthening our position prior to the market improvement we expect.

No incidents and continued reduction of environmental impact

We were spared from any serious incidents and accidents during the quarter. The absence of serious incidents 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.

In addition to the continuous safety work, we also allocate considerable resources on reducing our environmental and climate impact. The major focus here is on reducing emissions into the sea and air. The reduction in emissions continued during the quarter.

Better balance between supply and demand

Our assessment of future market development is unchanged. We expect the market to remain weak for the remainder of 2017. Thereafter, a number of factors point to a gradual improvement. Global oil consumption is expected to increase by about 1.4 million barrels per day in the coming year. Stocks of oil and oil products remain high, but a gradual decline is taking place as a result of OPEC's output cuts. Normalisation is expected in winter or in the first half of next year. On the supply side, the order book is now low and net growth in new MRI vessels is expected to be only about 1-2 percent in 2018. Overall, these factors contribute to a more balanced market.

Kim Ullman, CEO

Business activities

Spot market income for the product tanker fleet in the second quarter of 2017 was USD 11,700 (19,300) per day, which was higher than the average income for the market1) USD 9,600 (12,800) but significantly lower than in the same quarter in 2016. Income for the suezmax tanker Stena Supreme during the quarter was USD 17,300 (33,300) per day, compared with the market1) average income of USD 15,200 (27,900) 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, five of the vessels were employed on longer contracts (time charters or consecutive voyage charters). The other five vessels were employed in the spot market under agreements with Stena Bulk and Stena Weco. The two IMOIIMAX vessels Stena Image and Stena Important continued to be employed under the cooperation with Stena Weco.

During the quarter, a contract was signed for the charter of two IMO2/3 class MR tankers. This a joint chartering arrangement with Stena Weco, and Concordia Maritime's share amounts to 50 percent. The contract is for one year, and the charters run from June and July 2017. The vessels were built in 2013 and are ECO-design tankers.

The product tanker fleet also includes an IMO2/3 class MR tanker (ECO design) that was previously chartered in. This is also a joint chartering arrangement with Stena Weco, and Concordia Maritime's share amounts to 50 percent. The contract, which runs from the end of November 2015, is for two years with an option for a further 1–6 months.

Income

Average income for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, during the second quarter was USD 13,000 (19,500) per day.

For vessels employed on the spot market, average income for the quarter was USD 11,700 (19,300). For the six-month period, average income for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, was USD 14,100 (19,900) per day. For vessels employed on the spot market, average income for the six-month period was USD 12,900 (20,000).

Suezmax

The 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 income.

Income

Average income for Stena Supreme was USD 17,300 (33,300) per day for the quarter and USD 21,000 (35,000) per day for the six-month period.

Repairs and drydock

The scheduled drydocking of Stena Supreme took place during the quarter.

Concordia Maritime's spot market product tanker fleet achieved a higher income per day than the Clarksons theoretical index in the first and second quarters of 2017. Niche trades for P-Max vessels and a good performance by the Stena Weco pool meant that the product tanker fleet was able to achieve higher income than the market.

In the Suezmax segment, Concordia Maritime's income for the first and second quarters of 2017 was better than the Clarksons theoretical index (as it was for the full year 2016), which shows that the Stena Sonangol Pool remains one of the industry's leaders.

Newbuilding prices product tankers (MR)

At the end of the quarter, the price of a standard product tanker was about USD 33.5 (33.5) 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 54 (58) million.

Financial summary

Result

Result after tax for the quarter was SEK –43.9 (12.4) million. Poor markets mean low income for the vessels on the spot market. Two non-recurring events affected the result for the quarter.

• The Exit USD hedge generated + SEK 14.4 million

• An arbitration judgement resulted in + SEK 8.4 million

The decline in the result compared with Q2 2016 is largely in the face of a generally weaker market.

Equity

Equity per share was SEK 38.29 (39.83).

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 third and fourth quarters of 2016, investments in foreign subsidiaries were partially hedged through the forward sale of USD 35 million as hedging instruments. The duration was 15 months. The Company decided to terminate this hedging arrangement during the quarter. This was carried out at favourable exchange rates for the Company and generated a gain of SEK 14.4 million. This gain is included in the Company's income statement for the quarter and the fair value change previously reported in OCI, with fair value changes accumulated in a separate component of equity (translation reserve), was reversed.

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap totalling USD 75 million and expiring in 2021, in order to provide protection

against interest rate fluctuations. At the end of the quarter, the value of this contract was SEK 13.9 million and the amount is recognised in the hedging reserve through OCI. The accumulated translation differences, which are recognised in equity, amounted to SEK 414.3 (423.4) million. The changes are recognised in equity through OCI.

Investments and deposits

Investments during the quarter amounted to SEK 30.0 (32.2) million and were mainly related to vessel investments. The Company purchased bonds for SEK 97.5 (0.0) million during the quarter.

Valuation of the fleet

The Group's fleet is assessed on a six-monthly basis 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). Impairment testing of the asset values at 30 June 2017 did not indicate any impairment.

Seasonal variations

Three vessels from our fleet of 14.5 (10 owned, 3 on bareboat contracts and 3 on 50% time charters) were out on time charters at the end of the quarter and two were employed on consecutive voyage charters. Income for the vessels that are not signed out to time charters is related to the freight level on the open market. The 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 30/06/2017 was 6 (6). The Group employed 468 (488) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's sales for the second quarter amounted to SEK 0.0 (2.2) million. Intragroup invoicing represented SEK 0.0 (0.0) million of this amount. The Parent Company's available liquid funds at 30/06/2017 amounted to SEK 1,333.8 (1,490.3), million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and "unutilised credit facilities".

Other

To generate returns on cash and cash equivalents, the Company has deposited USD 30 (253.0) million in a USD account with a maturity of more than three months. These funds are not classified as cash and cash equivalents but as short-term deposits. During the quarter, the Company purchased corporate bonds at a value of SEK 97.5 million. These are classified as short-term deposits.

Disclosures under IAS 34,16A, also appear in the financial statements and their associated notes in other parts of the interim report.

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.

Another quarter without any lost time injuries (LTI), which means that the vessels did not have any workplace accidents that resulted 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 an incident that included damage to property (damaged wire) during the quarter.

Concordia Maritime's vessels were not involved in any piracyrelated incidents, but had two incidents classified as high potential near misses. These concerned incidents that could have led to a collision in the busy port of Singapore.

External controls

There were 9 vetting inspections on board Concordia Maritime's vessels during the quarter. There were 21 observations during these inspections, resulting in an average of 3.0 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.

Framework and guidelines

In addition to internal regulations, Concordia Maritime follows a number of international frameworks and principles.

Global Compact

Global Compact Concordia Maritime follows both the UN Global Compact Initiative and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The corporate members undertake to comply with ten principles on human rights, environment, labour and anticorruption, and to respect them throughout the value chain.

MACN

In 2016, Concordia Maritime became a member of the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN), an international initiative created by maritime industry players to share experiences and promote best practice in combating all forms of corruption and bribery.

OECD guidelines

Concordia Maritime complies with the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises, The guidelines deal with how these enterprises are to relate to human rights, environment and labour.

ILO's Fundamental Conventions

Concordia Maritime complies with the International Labour Organization's (ILO) eight fundamental conventions, which represent a minimum global standard for labour. The conventions address fundamental human rights at work.

Energy management

Efforts to reduce bunker consumption continued during the quarter. Bunker consumption in tonnes per day at sea fell by 1.5 tonnes (12 months rolling). This is better than the target for the year, which is to reduce consumption by 0.3 tonnes per day. This is a positive result of focused control and monitoring, and effective maintenance and technical innovations.

Reduced bunker consumption means lower emissions. CO2 emissions decreased by 2,700 tonnes during the quarter. SOx emissions de creased by 23 tonnes and NOx emissions by 76 tonnes.

Other information

Related party transactions

Concordia Maritime has a small internal organisation, and purchases services from related-party companies in the Stena Sphere, which include Stena Bulk. Stena Bulk conducts tanker business that coincides with Concordia Maritime in some respects. Accordingly, there is an agreement, entered into many years ago, which regulates the relationship between the two companies with respect to new business. Under the terms of this agreement, Concordia Maritime has the right to opt for 0, 50 or 100 percent participation in each new transaction.

Stena Weco

At the beginning of April 2011, Stena Bulk and the Danish company Weco started a 50–50 joint venture which resulted in a newly established company, Stena Weco. In the first quarter of 2017, Stena acquired the remaining 50 percent share from Weco. Stena Weco specialises mainly in the transportation of vegetable oils. Under a new agreement with Stena Bulk, Concordia Maritime is entitled to the financial result arising from vessels that may from time to time be chartered in by Stena Weco for a period of more than one year, should Concordia Maritime decide to participate in such charters. Other business generated by Stena Weco is not available to Concordia Maritime.

Concordia Maritime purchases services on a regular basis from the Stena Sphere in the following areas

  • Vessel charter Payment is based on a commission of 1.25 percent on freight rates.
  • Commission on the purchase and sale of vessels Payment is based on a commission of 1 percent.
  • Operation and manning of the Group's vessels (ship management) Payment is based on a fixed price per year and vessel.
  • Commercial operation, administration, marketing, insurance, technical monitoring and development of Concordia Maritime's fleet Payment is based on a fixed price per month and vessel. With regard to technical consulting services for construction projects, an hourly rate is applied on a cost-plus basis, which is then charged to the project.
  • Office rent and office services A fixed annual price is charged.

All related party transactions take place on commercial terms and at market-related prices.

1) The significant decline in ships 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-related 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.
  • The main credit and financial risks are 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 2016 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. From 1 January 2016, it has been decided to report sport 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 are affected, but the change will not have any net effect on the Group's operating result. The change has not had any effect on the Parent Company's income statement. All comparative periods have been restated to reflect the change. No new or revised IFRS recommendations or IFRIC interpretations have had any material effect on the Group's or Parent Company's financial position, results or disclosures.

The Group's derivative instruments have been acquired to hedge the risk of interest rate exposure to which the Group is exposed.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value, with transaction costs recognised in the income statement. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative instruments are measured at fair value, and fair value changes are recognised as follows. To meet the requirements for hedge accounting under IAS 39, there must be a clear link to the hedged item. In addition, the hedge must effectively protect the hedged item, hedging documentation must be prepared and the effectiveness must be measurable. Gains and losses attributable to hedges are recognised in profit or loss at the same time as gains or losses attributable to the hedged items. To hedge the uncertainty associated with highly probable forecast interest flows relating to borrowing at variable interest rates, interest rate swaps are used, with the Company receiving a variable interest rate and paying a fixed interest rate. The interest rate swaps are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. The interest coupon portion is recognised in the income statement under interest expenses. Unrealised changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps are recognised in OCI and included as part of the hedging reserve until the hedged item affects profit or loss and for as long as the criteria for hedge accounting and effectiveness are met. Gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion of unrealised changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps are recognised in profit or loss.

The Concordia Maritime Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The Group prepares its interim reports in accordance with the accounting policies and calculation methods used in the 2016 annual report, unless otherwise indicated 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.
