THIS IS CONCORDIA MARITIME

Concordia Maritime is an international tanker shipping company, which develops, builds, mans and charters vessels to customers with exacting demands on transport economy, flexibility and safety. The company's focus is on cost-effective and safe transportation of refined petroleum products such as petrol, diesel fuel and jet fuel.

Concordia Maritime was established in 1984 and its Series B share is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm. Its head office is located in Gothenburg, Sweden.

BUSINESS CONCEPT

To provide the customers with safe and cost-efficient tanker transportation based on innovation and performance.

VISION

To be the customers' first choice for safe, innovative and efficient tanker transportation, which will result in good profitability, steady growth and financial stability.

OUR BUSINESS MODEL

Concordia Maritime's business and revenue model consists of furnishing vessels to customers in need of safe and costeffective transportation of oil and petroleum products. Revenues are generated mainly by chartering out vessels (spot market or time charters), profit-sharing clauses in charters and the sale of ships. Costs are kept under control by means of long-term maintenance, efficient manning and control over capital costs.

OUR CUSTOMERS

e customers include some of the world's largest oil and energy companies. Customer relations are characterised by partnership, cooperation and a long-term perspective.

OUR COOPERATION PARTNERS

Concordia Maritime conducts its business activities in close cooperation with several companies in the Stena Sphere. #is means that the company's business activities can be conducted cost-effectively at the same time as its customers have access to the Stena Sphere's knowledge base.

WHAT WE TRANSPORT

e change in business activities implemented in recent years has resulted in a shift in focus from the transportation of crude oil to the transportation of refined petroleum products. #e 12 producttankers (P-MAX and Panamax) ordered in the last few years, and which are now delivered and will be delivered, are all designed primarily to transport refined petroleum products. #e fleet also includes two Suezmax tankers (one chartered and one due to be delivered in the second quarter of 2012), which are mainly intended for the transportation of crude oil.

FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES

Growth At least 10% per year, while maintaining profitability Profitability Return on equity of at least 12% Equity ratio At least 50% over a business cycle

PRESIDENT'S VIEWS STABLE POSITION IN A WEAK MARKET

Yet another quarter with business activities and results according to plan is now at an end. The result before tax was SEK 18.8 (–135.0) million and EBITDA SEK 54.2 (25.8) million.

Comments on the result

Generally speaking, the tanker markets continued to be weak in all the segments. Once again, it can be noted that although the demand for transportation of oil is growing, the growth in the number of tankers doing the transporting is greater.

Freight rates for product tankers (MR) rose somewhat compared with the previous quarter, both on the open market and the time charter market, although from very low levels. For Suezmax tankers, the trend was the opposite, i.e. freight rates dropped sharply.

e whole of our owned product tanker fleet is signed to long-term charters, which means that despite the market situation, we are doing well. #e freight rates in the charters for the P-MAX and Panamax tankers continued to be far higher than on the open market. On average, the charters have generated just over USD 20,000 per day, which can be compared with around USD 8,000 per day for MR tankers on the open market.

e low rates for Suezmax tankers affected the revenue generated by the chartered tanker Yasa Scorpion. Up until the end of the quarter, the charter in which we have a 50 percent share generated a small surplus.

e trend of the result and EBITDA is thus in line with our forecast.

Future prospects

e market situation continues to be challenging and 2010 will prove to have been yet another weak year for the world's tanker shipping companies. Companies in a weak financial position and with large exposure to the open market could face liquidity problems. #ere are also companies in the sector with strong finances and a balance between charters and exposure to the market that will manage better – and from this perspective, Concordia Maritime is in a very good position with all its owned fleet signed to charters.

With global economic growth rising, the demand for oil in 2011 is expected to be back at the same levels as before the sharp downturn in 2008/2009. A higher demand for oil will increase the demand for tanker transportation. #e growth of the tanker fleet will decrease but is still expected to be larger than the growth in demand, thus indicating a continuing weak market.

ere are, however, factors that are difficult to assess and that could result in the growth in demand for oil transportation being underestimated. One of these factors is the expansion of refinery capacity in progress, particularly in India and China, and the stagnant refinery industry in Europe and North America. #is could result in interesting changes in transport patterns and thereby increase the demand for transportation considerably.

Forecast for 2010

e forecast for 2010 remains unchanged. Our assessment is that in the financial year 2010, Concordia Maritime will achieve a result before tax of approx. USD 9.5 million, corresponding to approx. SEK 70 million.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

The product tankers in the fleet are all signed to long-term charters while the Suezmax tanker operates in the open market. During the third quarter, the vessels continued to operate according to plan and generated revenues far exceeding the freight rates on the spot market.

IFRS 8 regarding segment reporting has been applied since 1 January 2009. IFRS 8 is a disclosure standard that defines what an operating segment is.

As of the third quarter of 2010, Concordia Maritime's management and board follow up the economic trend of the fleet as a unit. As a result, the two previous segments Product tankers and Large tankers in the financial reporting have been merged into a single segment – Tankers. However, the trend of the product tankers and the large tankers will continue to be reported in the running text.

Product tankers (P-MAX and Panamax)

During the quarter, Concordia Maritime's product tanker fleet consisted of eight wholly owned P-MAX tankers and two part-owned Panamax tankers. All the vessels were signed to charters of between three and ten years on delivery. #e P-MAX tankers operate in different geographical markets all over the world, transporting both light (e.g. petrol) and heavy petroleum products (e.g. heavy oil) as well as crude oil.

e two Panamax tankers Stena Poseidon and Palva, which are owned by Concordia Maritime via a joint venture with Neste Shipping, continued to sail for Neste in transatlantic traffic. #e Palva was drydocked during the period although the impact of this on the result was only marginal.

Result for the period

Product tankers report an EBITDA of USD 23.6 (18.4) million accumulated for 2010.

Large tankers (Suezmax)

During the third quarter, the large-tanker segment consisted of the Suezmax tanker Yasa Scorpion, which has been chartered together with Stena Bulk since May 2010. #e charter runs for one year, until May 2011.

Result for the period

Large tankers report an EBITDA of USD –0.2 million (–2.3, explained by a damage to the chartered vessel Stena Victory) accumulated for 2010.

Newbuilding program

e newbuilding program currently consists of three vessels on order, two P-MAX tankers and one Suezmax tanker. #e Stena Penguin, which was named during the quarter, was delivered in mid-October 2010. Her sister, the Stena Premium, has been delayed a couple of weeks and will thus be delivered at the beginning of the second quarter of 2011 instead of at the end of the first quarter.

e Suezmax tanker ordered in the first quarter of 2010 is expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2012.

The product fleet's average freight rate per vessel and day

The graph shows the trend of the spot market, the base hire for Concordia Maritime's product tanker fleet and the actual revenues. The figures for the fleet are based on full employment, i.e. the base hire for the fleet is adjusted downwards to reflect any off hire.

CLOSE CUSTOMER RELATIONS

All product tankers in the fleet are currently signed to longterm charters, which provide financial stability thus making possible long-term investments.

THE MARKET

The tanker market continued to be weak during the quarter. A seasonal downturn placed further pressure on the market. In the MR segment, freight rates increased somewhat while the rates in the Suezmax segment fell sharply.

How the freight market developed Third quarter, 2010

Product tanker market (MR) ‹

During the quarter, the average freight rates for an MR product tanker on the spot market were about USD 10,000 per day, higher than in both the second quarter and the corresponding quarter in 2009. It should, however, be emphasised that the increase was from very low levels. On the time-charter market, 3-year charter contracts were signed at levels of around USD 15,000 per day at the end of the period.

Large tanker market (Suezmax) ‹

e freight rates for Suezmax tankers fell sharply during the quarter. #e average freight rate was USD 17,000 per day, a 50 per cent drop compared with the previous quarter. #e timecharter market continued to be more stable and 3-year charter contracts were signed at levels of around USD 30,000 per day at the end of the period.

Newbuilding prices ‹

Newbuilding prices remained, in principle, unchanged. #e price of a newly built standard MR tanker was about USD 36 million and in the Suezmax segment, prices were in the region of USD 65 million.

Quarterly summary

Second quarter, 2010

Product tanker market (MR) ‹

e average freight rates on the spot market during the quarter were around USD 8,000 per day, the same as in the corresponding period in 2009 but about 35 per cent lower than in the first quarter of 2010. On the time-charter market, 3-year charter contracts were signed at levels of around USD 14,000 per day at the end of the period.

Large tanker market (Suezmax) ‹

e trend in the Suezmax segment was volatile. In May, the freight rates on the spot market rose sharply but subsequently fell again. #e average freight rates on the spot market during the quarter were around USD 32,000 per day, about 60 per cent higher than the average for 2009.

First quarter, 2010

Product tanker market (MR) ‹

e average freight rates on the spot market during the quarter were around USD 9,000 per day, about 30 per cent lower compared with the corresponding period in 2009. On the time-charter market, 3-year charter contracts were signed at levels of around USD 14,000 per day at the end of the period, also substantially lower than in 2009.

Large tanker market (Suezmax) ‹

After a sharp downturn in 2009, the market recorded a strong recovery in the first quarter of 2010, driven in part by a rising demand for crude oil. #e average freight rates on the spot market during the quarter were around USD 35,000 per day, about 35 per cent higher than the average for 2009.

Fourth quarter, 2009

Product tanker market (MR) ‹

e average freight rate on the spot market during the quarter was around USD 8,000 per day, which can be compared with freight rates of around USD 25,000 per day during the same period in 2008. On the time-charter market, 3-year charter contracts were signed at levels of around USD 11,000 per day, about 50 per cent lower than in 2008.

The freight rates on both the spot and the time-charter market continued to be at low levels during the quarter. They were, however, higher than during the corresponding quarter in 2009.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Turnover and result

Third quarter, 2010

Turnover during the third quarter amounted to SEK 127.9 (147.3) million. #e result after financial items was SEK 18.8 (–135.0) million. #e result after tax was SEK 17.7 million (–135.2 which includes a loss of –151.0 on sales of shares), which corresponds to a result per share of SEK 0.37 (–2.83).

January – September 2010

Turnover during the first nine months of the year amounted to SEK 367.9 (488.1) million. #e result after financial items was SEK 59.0 (–109.6) million. #e result after tax was SEK 61.5 (–111.3) million, which corresponds to a result per share of SEK 1.29 (–2.33) after tax. #e turnover and earnings trend are in line with the forecast.

Equity

Equity per share is SEK 35.58 (36.62). #e group's equity is denominated in US dollars and decreased during the third quarter due to the SEK/USD exchange rate having fallen from 7.75 at the beginning of the quarter to 6.77 at the end

of the period. #e decrease has been countered by the parent company's equity hedge, which generated a surplus of SEK 100.7 (104.9) million.

Totally, equity decreased SEK –42.3 (–171.4) million in the first nine months, corresponding to SEK –0.89 (–3.59) per share. #e accumulated exchange rate differences, including the effects of hedging, recorded directly to equity, amount to SEK 51.0 (104.4) million. #e changes are reported in equity via "Other total comprehensive income".

Changes in translation and hedging reserves

e Group's functional currency is the US dollar, i.e. the majority of the income and costs as well as the balance sheet are nominally in USD. #e company's result is generated in USD, which means that the result in SEK is a direct function of the trend of the SEK/USD exchange rate.

In February 2009, Concordia Maritime re-entered into a so-called equity hedge amounting to about 50 per cent of the equity in its foreign subsidiaries, corresponding to USD 125 million. #is equity hedge resulted in a result of SEK 100.7 million after tax during the third quarter of 2010,

Exchange rate differences against Other total comprehensive income

As a result of the trend of the SEK/USD exchange rate in 2010, the company's profit in SEK has changed despite the fact that in USD it has remained unchanged. Read more in "Changes in translation and hedging reserves" about how the company protects itself against currency and interest rate fluctuations.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY (CONT.)

which is recorded in "Other total comprehensive income". In conjunction with the order for four P-MAX tankers, a cash flow hedge, USD against EUR, was entered into for future payments to the shipyard. #e realised result is reported as "Ships under construction". #e changes in value of existing contracts are recorded directly to equity under "Hedge reserve" via "Other total comprehensive income".

e change in value during the period, including exchange rate changes, amounts to SEK 0.8 (–2.8) million.

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, the interest hedges amounted to a total of USD 140 million. #ese interest hedges are structured in such a way as to cover about 60 per cent of anticipated future borrowing within existing credit facilities and expire in 2015. At the end of the third quarter, these contracts were valued at SEK –43.5 (9.7) million, which is recorded to equity under "Hedge reserve" via "Other total comprehensive income". On 30-09-2010, the hedge reserve amounted to SEK –38.5 (7.1) million.

Liquidity and financial position

e Group's disposable liquid funds, including unutilised credit facilities, amounted to SEK 653.0 (585.4) million on 30-09-2010. Interest-bearing liabilities during the period decreased from SEK 1,458.5 million to SEK 1,430.0 million. On the accounting date, equity amounted to SEK 1,698.3 (1,747.9) million and the equity ratio was 52 (53) percent.

Investments

Accumulated investments during the period amounted to SEK 58.0 (307.1) million and are related to deliveries of ships, advance payments and project costs.

Seasonal variations

e fact that Concordia Maritime's vessels are chartered out on long-term contracts counteracts the seasonal variations that otherwise characterise tanker shipping.

Employees and option programs

On 31-12-2009, the Group had 234 (175) employees, including 229 (170) seagoing employees. #ere are no option programs.

Investments

Part of the company's bond portfolio was sold during the quarter. As a result of this, the bond portfolio is classified as "for sale" as of Q3, which means that it is valued at its market value via "Other total comprehensive income". Other investments are classified as previously, i.e. "held for trading". Here, excess liquidity has been invested in a portfolio with a due-date structure that corresponds well with the investment program. #ese securities provide a return of 7–8 per cent (also called purchase yield). #e nominal and market value of the bond holding is shown in the table below.

Other holdings (primarily mutual funds) are valued at their market value on each accounting date. Total short term investments amounted to SEK 84.3 (36.7) million.

Parent company

e Parent Company's turnover totalled SEK 11.5 (31.5) million. Intergroup invoicing accounted for SEK 0.0 (0.0) million of this amount. #e result after financial items was SEK 40.6 (228.5) million. #e Parent Company's available liquid funds, including unutilised credit facilities, amounted to SEK 1,660.3 (1,430.5) million.

Other events

At the annual general meeting for the fiscal year 2009 it was decided, in accordance with a proposal presented earlier, that the dividend distributed to the shareholders would be SEK 1.00 (1.00) per share.
