President's statement for the period January-March 2012

The result before tax during January to March amounts to SEK -132 M (-65). The outcome is at an unsatisfactory level but in line with the expectations given the market conditions.

Viking Supply Ships (VSS)

Although it had a weak start of the year, we find VSS very well positioned in the market with strong focus on the Arctic area and the increasing needs of icebreaking and offshore services. We see exciting business potential in offshore and our objective is to expand this operation further on this year. As a part of this the last vessel, Brage Viking, of the AHTS newbuild program was delivered in January. The markets are slowly picking up from the low Q1 levels as we get closer to the peak season for offshore activities.

Viking Supply ships issued a senior unsecured five year bond with gross proceeds of up to NOK 750 M. A first trance was raised in March of NOK 300 M.

Industrial Shipping (IS)

Industrial Shipping is operating in a tough market, the last few quarters have been extremely challenging. This has led to a position where the business area must refocus and reposition itself in order to turn the negative trend and attain profitability. A cost reduction plan has been defined and its execution will start immediately, including both operational and organizational actions. Consolidation of offices, changed crew policy and strengthened sales organization are some of the actions to take place. Kim Sorensen started as new CEO for Industrial Shipping March 1. He strengthens the organization with his experience in successfully leading shipping and logistic companies at Maersk.

The old head office in Skärhamn was sold with a SEK 11 M gain in February.

Despite challenging times, we are positive that we will develop Industrial Shipping into a competitive and profitable operation through the cost reduction and restructuring program. As previously mentioned we are excited about the offshore markets for VSS.

Due to the market situation in Industrial Shipping (IS) we do not see it feasible to split the company into two separate companies, IS and VSS, at this time. We do not believe that we can successfully go through with such a split into two separate and successful companies before some time in 2013 driven by the completion of the cost reduction and restructuring program and also slightly better market condition in Industrial Shipping.

Viking Supply Ships business area

The business area's vessels conduct operations for Arctic offshore, the offshore spot market in the North Sea and in the global offshore sector. The fleet comprises 14 offshore vessels that are equipped for and have the capacity to operate in areas with cold and severe weather conditions, such as the Arctic areas.

The overall supply spot market had a quiet start in 2012 due to poor weather conditions that affected utilisation figures for the fleet. Viking Supply Ships had the majority of the AHTS fleet trading in the spot market, consequently the result from the offshore business area for the quarter is poor compared to previous periods. In total we find an unsatisfactory loss of SEK -88 M.

Platform Supply Vessels (PSV)

The spot market for PSVs had a slow start due to weather conditions and deliveries of newbuilds in to the market. The activities in the market picked up towards the end of February, and the PSV market ended the quarter better than anticipated in relation to rates and utilisation. Viking Supply's vessels were fixed on medium term contracts and average daily income per vessel was around USD 14,200 with utilization of app. 85 %. Medium term contracts were renewed during the first quarter which is also reflecting the positive development in market rates. SBS Torrent was in dock for three weeks during the quarter. SBS Nimbus and SBS Stratus completed their charters in India on the 25th February and 3rd March and spent the remaining time of the quarter transiting back to the North Sea. These two vessels are expected to start trading in the North Sea in the first half of May.

Several PSV newbuilds are set for delivery in 2012 which could lead to a softer market. Increased Exploration & Production spending in the oil industry, with corresponding higher activity in the North Sea might offset this effect. The general market outlook for the PSV sector remains positive.

Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (AHTS)

The North Sea AHTS spot market had a quiet start in 2012, reflecting weather conditions and low utilisation for the fleet. Six out of eight Viking AHTS vessels traded the spot market during the first quarter, reflecting a short fall in revenue for this activity. Towards the second half of the quarter weather improved, consequently the utilisation for the fleet increased and rigmove rates more than doubled compared with last year. The two vessels on term charters (Njord Viking to ENI and Vidar Viking to EMA) obtained an average daily income of NOK 292,000 with 100 % utilization. The vessels on the spot market obtained an average daily income of NOK 56,500 with a utilization of 50 %. The delivery of Brage Viking in January 2012 effected both utilisation and the average dayrate achieved for the fleet. As customary for newbuilds, Brage Viking, spent some time preparing for operations following delivery from the yard. According to contract Tor Viking and Vidar Viking will start mobilisation for term contracts with Shell Alaska and SEIC (Sakhalin Energy) respectively in the second quarter 2012. The offshore market is expected to improve significantly as the industry enters into peak season in the second and third quarter. Higher demand for AHTS vessels, combined with vessels leaving the spot market we expect will lead to a more balanced market.

Business Area Industrial Shipping

The business area offers integrated logistics solutions with vessel transportation. The operation is primarily active in system traffic in Northern Europe with RoRo, container vessels, as well as contract-based bulk and small bulk traffic.

The Q1 result is very unsatisfactory and in total the result is a loss of SEK -63 M compared to SEK -20 M same period last year. Economic growth in our core markets continues to be very weak however with positive indications on slightly better growth in the horizon. From our customers we also see mixed signals, however with more indicators pointing in towards growth than just a few months ago. The positive signs are very weak and they can not take away the overall picture of depressed markets with low growth or zero growth combined with a very unhealthy supply demand balance in all our segments.

RoRo

Increasing direct cost and temporarily drop of key customer volumes have affected the RoRo division negatively in Q1. We have now moved two of our Atlantic vessels into the TransBothnia Line meaning exiting the unprofitable Atlantic traffic. This has had some negative cost effects on the RoRodivision itself but will bring a positive effect of industrial shipping in the long run. The division has renegotiated time charter cost for two vessels in TransFeeder North and this will have positive effect already in Q2 and onwards.

Container

The new terminal in Hull for Transpal Line has now started to give operational advantages, however the result for Q1 2012 was not as good as for same quarter 2011. Price pressure due to the loss of a large customer in combination with new competitions had a significant impact on our business. We have however in parallel successfully renegotiated time charter contracts on three of our four vessels.

Bulk

We entered the contracts for Nordkalk and FNsteel, covering a significant part of our capacity. The remaining part should be covered by the spot market, a market that is however very weak which is also reflected in the result.

Short Sea Bulk

Profitability in SSB improved compared with Q4 2011. The improvements very much depend on the higher volumes from the Finnish Steel industry. Focus has been put on balancing tonnage versus contract volumes and we are pleased to see better development between volumes and capacity end of Q1.

Full year 2012

The Q1 result is very unsatisfactory and followed an equally poor Q4 2011. Within Industrial Shipping we are embarking on a number of initiatives with one overarching objective of turning the company around.

The initiatives include:

  • Reduction of ship capacity to be in line with volumes
  • Reduced time charter costs on a number of our vessels
  • A review of our flag and crew policies
  • A review of our office set up in Sweden including significant consolidation
  • Ambitious structured bunker saving initiative
  • Restructuring of the organization with much stronger focus on sales and customers

In Q2 we continue to see weak markets and we will continue to be loss giving, however we expect losses will be reduced compared to Q1 2012 and Q4 2011.

Other

Corporate tax

The general situation for the Group is that taxes payable are highly limited. Accordingly, recognized corporate tax mainly comprises deferred tax. The recognized net deferred tax asset for the Swedish operations amounted to SEK 106 M (106) at March, 2012. The recognized deferred tax liability for the operations outside Sweden amounted to SEK -36 M at December 31, 2011 (-43).

Transactions with closely related parties

Kistefos AS has provided consulting services amounting to SEK 3 M for the January – March 2012 period. There were no other significant transactions.

Risks and uncertainties

TransAtlantic is a Group characterized by a high degree of international operations, thereby exposed to a number of operational and financial risks. TransAtlantic works actively to identify, assess and manage these risks. Risk management is included as an element of the ongoing reviews of the operations. It has been deemed that no further key risks and uncertainties have arisen in addition to those risks and uncertainties described on page 41 in TransAtlantic's 2011 Annual Report.

TransAtlantic continues to evaluate a proposal from one of its banks for an agreement due to the non-achievement of certain key figures regarding the legal issues in the tax lease structure in 2010. All key figure demands relating to the financing of the ships included in the tax lease structure are in line with the requirements. Furthermore, dialog is also being conducted with an additional bank due to TransAtlantic not fully satisfying the financial covenant requirements in the loan agreements for financial key figures for Q1. As a result of the above, loans totaling SEK 36 M have been reclassified from long-term to current liabilities.

Accounting policies

This Q1 report, for the Group, was prepared in accordance with the application of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable rules in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent Company, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation FRF 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. Unless otherwise noted, the same accounting policies for both the Group and the Parent Company have been applied as those used in the most recent Annual Report.

Due to finishing the operational split of the Group during the second quarter the segment "Ship management/Group-wide" has ceased to work as an independent area. In this report and in the future the remainings are included in the segments "Viking Supply Ships" and "Industrial shipping". Key-data have been recalculated due to changes in segments. For further information, please see Note 1 on page 18.

Viking Supply Ships will publish a separate report which is demanded due to the issued bond. Some values in that report are not comparable since there are different acquisition values and depreciation plans in VSS and the Group.

Number of employees

The number of employees in the Group at the end of the year was 967, including SBS Marine and Brage Viking. (31 Mar 2011; 740).

Events after the close of the reporting period

The Annual Report was released in April.

The Annual general Meeting was held on 27 April at the Elite Hotels in Gothenburg.

The agreement with Sakhalin Energy was approved by the relevant financing banks as well as approval from the Board of Directors in Rederi AB TransAtlantic, meaning the vessel Vidar Viking will now perform icebreaking, supply and anchor handling services with start-up in the summer of 2012.

The Company divested MultiDocker Cargo Handling AB according to decision at Anuual General meeting, to Skärgårdshavet AB, according to agreement and in line with an option that was made in connection with TransAtlantic's acquisition of Österströms International AB last year. MultiDocker Cargo Handling AB is now a daughter company to, and fully owned by Skärdgårdshavet AB. Further information is available on the website: www.rabt.se
