PRESIDENT'S VIEWS

Concordia Maritime's result after tax for the third quarter amounted to SEK 20.1 (17.7) million, while EBITDA was USD 10.9 (7.5) million. Market development in tanker shipping remained weak. The freight rates for the time-charter contracts for our P-MAX and panamax tankers continued to be much higher than the rates in the open market and generated an average of just over USD 20,000 per day.

During the quarter, the Stena Performance and Stena Provence entered into the open market with our partner Stena Weco. On average, the vessels generated income of approx. USD 9,000 per day. After their redelivery from previous customers, the vessels have been positioned to adapt to Stena Weco's cargo system. The positioning voyages have meant a loss of income, although this has been offset by compensation from Total in connection with the early redelivery of Stena Provence.

During the quarter, two of our jointly owned vessels, Stena Poseidon and Palva, sailed the Northeast Passage between Murmansk in Russia and the Pacific Ocean for the first time. The voyage, done by our J/V-partner Neste Oil, took 20 days to complete, which is about half the time using the normal route through the Suez Canal. The vessels were escorted by a Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker and local pilots. Ice conditions along the route place high demands on both ships and crews.

Future prospects

Tanker shipping is currently going through a testing time. The big challenge for the market as a whole remains to achieve a better balance between supply and demand for transportation of oil and petroleum products.

The imbalance was even greater during the period, with declining rates in all segments. The largest decline was within the crude oil segment, above all for VLCCs, where direct costs are now sometimes exceeding income.

In the MR segment, rates also fell, although not as dramatically.

Consequently, we stand by our earlier assessment. 2011 will be another weak year, while 2012 and, in particular, 2013, show good prospects for a market in better balance for the MR-segment. Growth in the world tanker fleet is expected to decline during the current year, particularly in the area of product tankers.

Our financial position continues to be stable, with capacity for further investments if the right business opportunities arise. Larger part of the fleet will also be chartered on fixed contracts during 2012 but we already have two vessels operating on the spot market. And we are working continuously on making our ships as competitive and flexible in the market as possible. As part of this work, Stena Provence will be converted to an IMO III vessel in the fourth quarter. The conversion means the vessel will also be able to transport vegetable oils. Transportation of vegetable oils is currently a niche segment of the tanker market. Stena Performance and Stena Premium have already qualified for IMO III classification.

Unchanged forecast for 2011

Our assessment remains unchanged, Concordia Maritime will achieve a result before tax of USD 10–13 million, equivalent to SEK 65–85 million, in the 2011 financial year, depending on how the market develops.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

During the period, 10 out of the fleet's 12 vessels were signed to charters. Current charter coverage means that freight rates are well in excess of those on the spot market.

P-MAX

The ten P-MAX tankers in the fleet operate worldwide, carrying both light and heavy oil products and crude oil.

Eight of the vessels are employed on fixed contracts, while two, Stena Performance and Stena Provence, have been employed on the open market since July 2011. The chartering is managed by Stena Weco, which is a joint venture between Stena Bulk and the Danish company Weco. After their redelivery from previous customers, the two vessels have been positioned to adapt to Stena Wecos' cargo system. The positioning voyages have meant a loss of income, which has had a negative effect on the period's results.

However, the lost income has been offset by the compensation from Total in connection with early redelivery of Stena Provence.

Panamax

During the quarter, the two panamax tankers Stena Poseidon and Palva, owned in a joint venture with Neste Shipping, sailed the Northeast Passage, which lies between Murmansk in Russia and the Pacific Ocean.

Newbuilding program

The suezmax tanker which was ordered in early 2010 is scheduled for delivery in July 2012.

Contract portfolio

For the fourth quarter of 2011, approx. 80 percent of the fleet is employed via time chartering. The equivalent figure for 2012 is approx. 75 percent. As the chart shows, just under 50 percent of the fleet is employed via time chartering in 2013.

FREIGHT MARKET DEVELOPMENT

The period was marked by plummeting rates on the spot market. The time charter market was more stable.

NEWBUILDING PRICES

Relatively stable newbuilding prices

Despite the general market downturn, the price of ships has remained relatively stable over the past year. However, prices in a number of segments have fallen somewhat during the third quarter. The price of a newly built standard MR tanker was approx. USD 36 million at the end of the period, while in the suezmax segment prices were in the region of USD 65 million.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Equity

Equity per share was SEK 36.39 (35.58). The Group's equity, which is denominated in US dollars, increased during 2011. This was due to the SEK/USD exchange rate having risen from SEK 6.73 to SEK 6.82 during the period. This has been partly covered by the parent company's equity hedge which generated a result of SEK –3.2 (43.9) million.

Changes in translation and hedging reserves

The parent company's functional currency is SEK, although 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 February 2009, Concordia Maritime reentered into an equity hedge amounting to approx. 50 percent of the equity in its foreign subsidiaries, corresponding to USD 125 million. The equity hedge generated a result after tax of SEK –3.2 (43.9) million, corresponding to SEK –0.07 (0.92) per share, during the first nine months of 2011, which is recognised in "Other comprehensive income".

Accumulated exchange differences including the effects of forward contracts, which are recognised in equity, amounted to SEK 74.9 (51.0) million. The changes are recognised in equity via "Other comprehensive income".

In connection with the order of four P-MAX tankers, a USD-EUR cash flow hedge was entered into for future payments to the shipyard. Now that the last vessel has been delivered, the gain of SEK 0.4 (2.3) million is reported under "Ships and equipment". In 2009, the company entered into additional interest hedges corresponding to USD 100 million in order to protect itself against interest fluctuations. At the end of the third quarter of 2011, the interest hedges totalled USD 140 million. They are structured in such a way as to cover approx. 60 percent of anticipated future borrowing within existing credit facilities and expire in 2015. At the end of the third quarter, the value of these contracts was SEK –15.4 (–47.5) million, which is recognised in the hedging reserve via "Other comprehensive income". At the end of the period, the total hedging reserve amounted to SEK –52.8 (–38.5) million.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY CONT'D

Investments

Investments during the first nine months of 2011 amounted to SEK 304.1 (381.1) million and related to deliveries of ships, advance payments and project costs.

Seasonal variations

The fact that all Concordia Maritime's vessels apart from two are chartered out counteracts the seasonal variations that otherwise characterise tanker shipping.

Employees and option programs

The number of employees in the Group at 31 December 2010 was 359, of whom 353 were seagoing employees. There are no option programs in place.

Investments

Part of the company's bond portfolio was sold during the first quarter. As a result, the bond portfolio is classified as "for sale" and is recognised at its market value in "Other comprehensive income". Other holdings (primarily mutual funds) are measured at their market value on each reporting date. Which is recognised in "Other Comprehensive Income". Total short-term investments corresponded to SEK 64.5 (84.3) million.

Parent company

The parent company's sales for the first nine months amounted to SEK 38.3 (11.5) million, with intragroup invoicing representing SEK 0.0 (0.0) million of this amount. The parent company's result after financial items amounted to SEK –27.7 (–40.6) million. The parent company's available liquid funds, including "Unutilised credit facilities" amounted to SEK 1,969.7 (1,660.3) million.

Exchange differences in other comprehensive income

As a result of the trend of the SEK/USD exchange rate in 2011, the company's profit expressed in SEK has changed, yet remains unchanged in USD. More information about how the company protects itself against currency and interest rate fluctuations can be found in "Changes in translation and hedging reserves".

OTHER INFORMATION

Related party transactions

Concordia Maritime has a small organisation, and purchases services from companies in the Stena Sphere, including Stena Bulk. The latter company conducts tanker business which competes 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.

At the beginning of April, Stena Bulk started a 50-50 joint venture together with the Danish company Weco, resulting in a newly established company, Stena 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, also referred to as ship management. Payment is based on a fixed price per year and vessel.
  • Purchases of bunker oil. Payment is based on a fixed commission per ton purchased.
  • 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 price per year is charged.

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

Risks and uncertainties

Concordia Maritime is exposed to a number of risks of various types. The main market-related factors affecting the company include the general economy, freight rates, oil prices and political factors. Risks related to operational activities include ship management, insurance and employees. Concordia Maritime is also exposed to credit and financial risks.

The management and the board work actively to minimise risk exposure and to minimise the consequences and effects of a risk nevertheless materialising.

Authorised Public Accountant Gothenburg, 2 November 2011 Concordia Maritime AB (publ)

Hans Norén President

Auditor's statement on the review of THE INTERIM REPORT

To the Board of Concordia Maritime AB (publ) Reg. no. 556068-5819

Introduction

I have conducted a review of the interim financial information in summary (interim report) for Concordia Maritime AB (publ) at 30 September 2011, and the nine-month period ended on that date. The Board of Directors and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. My responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim report based on my review.

Scope of the review

I conducted my review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements (SÖG) 2410 – Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable me to obtain a level of assurance that would make me aware of all significant matters that might be identified during an audit. Accordingly, conclusions based on a review do not have the level of assurance of conclusions based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the attached interim financial report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Group and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the parent company.

Gothenburg, 2 November 2011
