Freight income for the quarter was MUSD 8.6, up from MUSD 6.4 in Q2 2018 due to improving market fundamentals, offset by 21 offhire days in connection with the 5-year survey and dry-docking of WilForce. Fleet utilisation for the quarter ended at 70 %, compared to 71 % in the previous quarter (excluding scheduled off-hire). Voyage related expenses amounted to MUSD 1.3, compared to MUSD 1.8 in Q2 2018.
Operating expenses were MUSD 6.7 in the quarter compared to MUSD 2.0 in Q2, including a MUSD 4.5 provision for repair of damage to the WilForce. In early September 2018 damage was incurred to certain non-critical machinery equipment on the WilForce, and a MUSD 4.5 non-cash provision has been recognised in the quarter. The repair costs are confirmed to be recoverable towards the vessel's H&M insurance, less a deductible, and an insurance claim of MUSD 4.0 has been recognised in Q3 2018 as other income. Yard repairs are expected to take place in the second half of 2019. Certain upgrades planned for WilPride during dry-docking in Q4 2018 will instead be carried out on WilForce concurrent with planned repairs in 2019, in order to reduce the overall number of off-hire days.
Administration expenses were MUSD 0.8 in Q3 compared to MUSD 0.7 in Q2 2018. EBITDA for the quarter was MUSD 3.8 (MUSD 1.9 Q2 2018). Depreciation for the quarter was MUSD 3.3, same as in Q2 2018.
Net financial items were MUSD (5.3) compared to MUSD (5.2). Interest expenses on the WilForce and WilPride financial leases amounted to MUSD 5.4, same as in the previous quarter.
Loss for the period was MUSD 4.8, compared to MUSD 6.5 in Q2 2018.
Book value of vessels was MUSD 360.9 as at 30 September 2018 (MUSD 360.6 Q2 2018). The increase reflected capitalisation of dry-docking of WilForce during the quarter, offset by ordinary depreciation.
Total current assets were MUSD 37.4 as at 30 September 2018 (MUSD 31.6 Q2 2018), including the abovementioned insurance claim of MUSD 4.0 and cash and cash equivalents MUSD 24.3 (MUSD 26.5 Q2 2018).
Total equity as at 30 September 2018 was MUSD 116.8 (MUSD 121.5 Q2 2018).
Total current liabilities were MUSD 20.7 as at 30 September 2018 (MUSD 7.6 Q2 2018), of which MUSD 4.7 was deferred revenue relating to Q4 2018 invoiced in Q3 and MUSD 4.5 provision for repairs of WilForce. MUSD 6.4 of the current liabilities relates to the short-term portion of the WilForce and WilPride financial leases (MUSD 5.1 as at 30 June 2018).
Total non-current liabilities were MUSD 260.9 as at 30 September 2018 (MUSD 263.0 Q2 2018), of which the long-term portion of the WilForce and WilPride financial leases was MUSD 258.6 (MUSD 260.7 Q2 2018). Total deferred bareboat hire towards the financial leases was MUSD 17.0 as at 30 September 2018 (MUSD 14.1 Q2 2018).
Increasing demand for gas in Asia coupled with higher oil price and rising electricity prices in Europe pushed NBP and FE gas prices to levels not seen in a third quarter since 2014. Far East gas price increased from USD 10.4/MMTBU at the start of Q3 to USD 11.4/MMBTU at the end of the quarter. UK NBP started Q3 at USD 7.2/MMBTU and closed at USD 9.6/MMBTU, while US Henry Hub opened and closed at USD 2.9/MMBTU.
According to Fearnleys LNG headline day rates started the quarter at USD 85,000 and 70,000 West and East of Suez respectively. Rates moved marginally down in July and early August before gradually, and in spite of the closing gas price differential, firming towards the current all-time high rates of USD 175,000 per day. The 3 rd quarter ended with day rates quoted at USD 100,000 in the West and USD 90,000 in the East.
LNG trade is estimated to have increased by 6 % in the first nine months of 2018 compared to 2017. LNG imports to China increased by about 45 % in the period, and China is now the world's largest importer of gas, having surpassed Japan in Q3 2018. Imports to South Korea increased by 17 % and India 12 %. LNG imports to Japan were unchanged compared to same period last year.
Yamal LNG T2 (5.5 MTPA) started production in August, six months ahead of schedule, and in early October Ichthys (8.9 MTPA) loaded its first cargo. Prelude FLNG (3.8 MTPA), Yamal LNG T3 (5.5 MTPA), Corpus Christi T1 (4.5 MTPA), Elba Island (2.5 MTPA) and Sabine Pass T5 (4.5 MTPA) are all expected to start up before year end. A total of 47 MTPA of new LNG production capacity is expected to commence production in 2018, followed by 22 MTPA in 2019 and a total of 22 MTPA in 2020 and 2021. In October 2018, FID was announced on LNG Canada (14 MTPA) with expected start up in 2024, the second liquefaction FID in 2018. According to industry analysts new LNG production plants with total potential production capacity of over 380 MTPA are in various stages of planning.
38 LNG carriers were delivered in the first nine months of 2018, and a further 13 vessels are scheduled for delivery in the remainder of 2018, marking 2018 as a record year for newbuild deliveries.
42 newbuilding orders have been placed year to date of which about 27 are assumed speculative. According to shipbrokers the current orderbook for LNG vessels above 100,000 cbm (excl. FSRU and FLNG) is 93 vessels, of which 37 are potentially available for contract. Although the orderbook represents almost 20 % of the fleet, market analysts expect the 91 MTPA of new LNG production scheduled to start up from 2018 to 2021 to require more vessels than the current available tonnage and orderbook during periods of high ton-mile demand.
The principal activity of Awilco LNG ASA and its subsidiaries is to invest in and operate LNG transportation vessels. Technical and commercial management of the fleet is performed from the Group's office in Oslo, Norway. The Group has 7 employees. In addition, Awilco LNG purchases certain administrative and sub-management technical services from two companies in the Awilhelmsen Group; Awilhelmsen Management AS and Awilco Technical Services AS, see note 6 for further details.
WilPride is scheduled for dry-docking expected to be completed early December 2018, and is being marketed in the spot/short term market.
WilForce was delivered 15 September 2018 on a 9-12 month time charter contract to an oil and gas major.
Despite newbuild deliveries at an all-time high and a closed West – East arbitrage, spot market rates are presently at an all-time high. Heading into the winter season, with further LNG production coming on stream, activity may increase, and although there is always some uncertainty, Owners with available vessels have high expectations for the near future.
In the medium-term, a total of 91 MTPA of new LNG production capacity is expected to start up in 2018 to 2021. Close to 50 MTPA of the new production is out of the US, which is expected to increase average sailing distances, and combined with orderbook visibility until 2021 the medium-term outlook for LNG shipping is promising. However, periods of volatility and seasonality should be expected.
In the longer term recent liquefaction FIDs are promising, and to meet the growing demand for gas, estimated at twice the growth rate of the total global energy demand according to Shell Energy Outlook, several new LNG production plants are expected to be sanctioned in the next 6-12 months.
Awilco LNG has one vessel on contract until June / September 2019 and one vessel trading in the spot market and is well positioned in this exiting market.

Awilco LNG ASA (the Parent Company) is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The Parent Company's registered office is Beddingen 8, 0250 Oslo, Norway.
The interim consolidated financial statements (the Statements) of the Parent Company comprise the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, together referred to as the Group. The principal activity of the Group is the investment in and operation of LNG transportation vessels. The Group owns and operates two modern TFDE LNG carriers.
The Statements for the three months ended 30 September 2018 are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU). The Statements have not been subject to audit or review. The Statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for a complete set of financial statements, and the Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2017, which includes a detailed description of the applied accounting policies.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, with the exception of two new IFRS standards implemented with effect from 1 January 2018:
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers: Under this new standard, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The standard applies to all revenue contracts. The Group's revenue is generated by time charter contracts which contain both a lease element and a vessel management element (service agreement). Whereas accounting of the lease element is still to be governed by IAS 17 Leases, accounting of the vessel management element will be governed by IFRS 15. The vessel management element is assessed as a performance obligation that is satisfied over time, given that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group. This is analogue to the Group's previous revenue recognition policy of load-to-discharge basis, and the Group's revenue recognition is not impacted by implementation of IFRS 15 besides extended note disclosure requirements in the annual financial statements. Voyage expenses are expensed as incurred. The Group has used a modified retrospective method, and cumulative impact of the new standard (nil) has been recognised towards retained earnings as of 1 January 2018. Comparative figures have not been restated.
IFRS 9 Financial instruments: The standard addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, and have replaced the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 introduces a single approach for the classification and measurement of financial assets according to their cash flow characteristics, and provides a new impairment model based on expected credit losses. The new standard has not had an impact on the measurement of financial assets and changes in equity. The Group has used a modified implementation method, and cumulative impact of the new standard (nil) has been recognised towards retained earnings as of 1 January 2018. Comparative figures have not been restated.
The following new standards have been issued and become effective in 2019 onwards: IFRS 16 - Leases (2019): The Group has made a preliminary assessment of the effects of replacing IAS 17 with IFRS 16, and does not expect any material impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
The Group owns and operates two LNG vessels. For internal reporting and management purposes the Group's business is organised into one reporting segment, LNG transportation. Performance is not evaluated by geographical region as the vessels trade globally and revenue is not dependent on any specific country. Revenue from the Group's country of domicile, Norway, was NIL in Q3 2018, same as in Q2 2018.
The Group had four customers contributing with more than 10 per cent of the Group's freight income in Q3 2018, at 17, 24, 25 and 34 % of total revenue, and four in Q2 2018 at 12, 26, 29 and 30 % of total revenue.
The number of issued shares was 132,548,611 as at 30 September 2018. There were no changes in shares issued in Q3 2018. The share capital is denominated in NOK, and the nominal value per share is NOK 2.5. All issued shares are of equal rights.
WilForce completed scheduled dry-docking in mid-August 2018 at a total cost of MUSD 3.3 and incurring 21 offhire days, on time and budget.
On 15 September 2018 WilForce was delivered on a 9-12 month time charter contract to an oil and gas major. The vessel is expected to contribute an annualised EBITDA of about MUSD 26 during the charter period.
In early September 2018 damage was incurred to certain non-critical machinery equipment on the WilForce, and a MUSD 4.5 non-cash provision has been recognised in the quarter together with a corresponding insurance claim of MUSD 4.0. Repairs at yard are expected to be undertaken in second half of 2019, subsequent to redelivery from the current charter.
Both vessels are financed by sale/leaseback agreements with Teekay LNG Partners L.P., which mature 31. December 2019. Awilco LNG has rolling repurchase options throughout the lease period and repurchase obligations at maturity.
The contractual bareboat hire per day is USD 49,100 per vessel. From July 2017 to March 2018, the bareboat hire payable was USD 28,500 per day, from April 2018 to March 2019 USD 33,500 per day, and from April 2019 to December 2019 USD 38,500 per day. The deferred amounts will become payable at maturity of the leases, or by way of a cash sweep mechanism measured on a quarterly basis. Net earnings in excess of cash break even levels, currently at approx USD 53,000 per day, is to be sweeped towards the outstanding deferred charter hire, subject to the Group retaining a minimum cash position after sweeping of approx. MUSD 31 prior to the scheduled 2018 dry-dockings and MUSD 23.5 thereafter. Deferred charter hire as of 30 September 2018 was MUSD 17 in total for both vessels (MUSD 14.1 as at 30 June 2018).
The purchase obligations at maturity of the lease agreements in December 2019 are MUSD 113.3 and MUSD 114.5 for WilForce and WilPride, respectively, in addition to the deferred hire.
According to the amended lease agreements a fee of MUSD 2 is payable to the lessor. The fee is payable either following voluntary prepayment of all, or parts, of the deferred amounts or by repurchase of the vessels. The fee has been capitalised as cost price of the vessels and depreciated over the term of the lease, and presented as other non-current liabilities until paid.
Until Teekay LNG and the Group agrees to not defer any bareboat hire, the Parent Company is not entitled to pay dividends to its shareholders.

Alternative performance measures (APMs), ie financial performance measures not within the applicable financial reporting framework, are used by Awilco LNG to provide supplemental information. Financial APMs are intended to enhance comparability of the results and cash flows from period to period, and it is Awilco LNG's experience that these are frequently used by analysts and investors.
These measures are adjusted IFRS measures defined, calculated and used consistently. Operational measures such as, but not limited to, volumes, utilisation and prices per MMBTU are not defined as financial APMs. Financial APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. Disclosures of APMs are subject to established internal control procedures.
Awilco LNG's financial APMs:
*When vessels operate in the spot market, freight income includes bunkers compensation and the fuel element of ballast bonuses, whereas voyage related expenses include the corresponding costs of bunkers compensation, and unless the vessels are fixed back to back also repositioning costs. The APM net freight income adjusts for this grossing up, and provides for improved comparability of the Group's performance between periods.
