CEO'S OVERVIEW Stronger markets

After three record-weak quarters, the market took an upward turn towards the end of the year. The development was largely due to increased transport demand as a result of OPEC, the United States and Russia gradually increasing oil production. In addition, increased phasing-out of older vessels also contributed to a generally better balance between supply and demand.

Just as expected, 2018 was a weak year – both for the market and for Concordia Maritime. For the full year 2018, result before tax excluding impairment was SEK –181.9 (–186.5) million and EBITDA amounted to SEK 56.8 (51.3) million, corresponding to USD 6.5 (6.0) million. Result before tax for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK –19.4 (–42.0) million. EBITDA was SEK 77.1 (10.1) million, corresponding to USD 8.9 (1.2) million. Delay effects due to previously signed charter contracts meant that, for our part, the market development in Q4 was not noticed until the end of the quarter.

Looking at the tanker market as a whole, 2018 began in a minor key and ended in a major. The first three quarters of the year were greatly affected by OPEC's reduced production and the stock withdrawals in consuming countries that have been taking place since summer 2016. Overall, this resulted in reduced transport demand, which, in combination with extensive ship deliveries, led to low freight rates.

Since October, there has been a sharp rise in virtually all segments, with freight rates at levels we have not seen in several years. The upturn was mainly due to OPEC, the United States and Russia having gradually increased oil production since July.

Overall, we now have the market situation that we have long predicted. It should be pointed out that the market is still volatile, with relatively strong upward and downward fluctuations, but at a higher level than before.

Active work on the fleet

For our own part, the focus during the last year has been on having good cost control and continuing to adapt and position the fleet according to the current market conditions. We have continued to seek niche trades for our P-MAX vessels, where their unique properties are particularly beneficial. This strategy contributed to the product tanker fleet's earnings for the year being significantly higher than the market average in the MR segment. In the Suezmax segment, we chose to participate in the chartering-in of four vessels at the beginning of the year. We sold the shares in the charters to Stena Bulk at the end of the year, thereby realising the increase in value that arose from an increasingly stronger market.

No serious incidents or accidents

Operationally, we continued to have an efficient and well-functioning operation. It is particularly pleasing to note that 2018 was another year in which there were no serious incidents or accidents on any of our vessels. This is now the fifth consecutive year that we have not had any accidents with lost workdays as a result.

Market outlook 2019

2019 has started considerably stronger than the previous year. Now, at the end of January, the rates have gone down, albeit from high levels. The decline in rates is due to the decision of OPEC and its allies to cut output by a total of about 1.2 million barrels of oil per day. The reduction is partly offset by increased US exports, but with refinery maintenance and newbuilding deliveries, it means that we expect lower levels in the first half of 2019 than during the December peak, but generally higher levels than in 2018. In the second half of the year, we expect the market to strengthen as a result of a renewed increase in production and moderate ship deliveries. Through our exposure to the spot market, we are well positioned to take advantage of the positive trend in the market. The year that has ended was challenging. We now look forward to tackling an exciting 2019.

Kim Ullman, CEO

Business activities

Spot market earnings for the product tanker fleet in the fourth quarter of 2018 were USD 13,700 (12,300) per day, which was higher than average earnings per day for the market1), USD 11,000 (10,300) million. Earnings for the suezmax fleet in the quarter were USD 25,800 (18,300) per day, compared with the average earnings for the market1) of USD 36,800 (17,400) 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, three of the vessels were employed on time charter contracts. The other seven vessels were employed in the spot market under agreements with Stena Bulk. The two long-term chartered IMOIIMAX vessels Stena Image and Stena Important also continued to be employed under the cooperation with Stena Bulk.

Earnings

Average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, during the fourth quarter were USD 13,900 (13,200) per day. For vessels employed on the spot market, average earnings for the quarter were USD 13,700 (12,300). For the full year, average earnings for the entire product tanker fleet, spot and TC, were USD 12,900 (13,700) per day. For vessels employed on the spot market, average earnings for the year were USD 12,100 (12,700).

Suezmax fleet

During the period, the suezmax fleet consisted of the suezmax tanker Stena Supreme (158,000 dwt), which is chartered in on a long-term bareboat contract, and another four vessels chartered in on shortterm contracts. All the vessels were 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 earnings. The short-time charters were conducted jointly with Stena Bulk, and Concordia Maritime's share amounted to 50 percent.

During the quarter, Concordia Maritime signed an agreement with Stena Bulk to sell the positions in the chartered-in Suezmax vessels.

Earnings

Average earnings for the suezmax fleet were USD 25,800 (18,300) per day for the quarter and USD 18,500 (18,200) per day for the full year.

Repairs and drydock

There were no repairs or scheduled drydocking during the quarter.

2) Clarksons w.w. average MR Clean Earnings

3) Clarksons w.w. Suezmax Long Run Historical Earnings

Concordia Maritime's spot market product and chemical tanker fleet achieved higher earnings per day than the Clarksons theoretical index in the fourth quarter of 2018. Niche trades for the P-MAX vessels and a good performance from the Stena Bulk pool, given the weak market, are among the main drivers.

Delay effects due to previously signed charter contracts mean that the market earnings during Q4 cannot match the theoretical market index for the Suezmax segment.

Newbuilding prices

At the end of the quarter, the price of a standard product tanker was about USD 36.5 million. The price of an IMOII class MR tanker like our IMOIIMAX vessels was about USD 39.5 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 60.5 million.

The charts show the value at the end of each period and refer to standard vessels.

Scrapping and deliveries

In Q4,scrapping increased a little compared with previous quarters. At the same time, the previously weak market has contributed to a slight decline in the number of deliveries.

Financial summary

Result

Result after tax for the quarter was SEK –19.5 (–42.0) million. The significantly stronger tanker market at the end of the quarter meant higher earnings for the vessels on the spot market, which, in combination with the sale of shares in period charters of Suezmax vessels, generated a positive EBITDA during the quarter. During the quarter, an item of SEK 26.0 million was reported in financial net as a result of a negative revaluation of the Company's bunker spread positions (a consequence of the oil price's sharp decline towards the end of the quarter). Costs for operation and administration were at the same level as in the same period the previous year.

Result before tax for the full year was SEK –182.1 (–660.2) million. A weak tanker market meant weak EBITDA earnings. Costs for operation and administration were at the same level as in the previous year. Financial net for the year was improved by the sale of bunker positions in the third quarter. The value of the Company's bunker spread positions varied from quarter to quarter during the year, which affected financial net. However, the annual effect of this is marginal.

Equity

Equity per share was SEK 22.24 (25.60).

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 second and third quarters of 2018, an equity hedge was carried out through the forward sale of USD 23 million with a maturity of 24 months. At the end of the fourth quarter, this hedging was valued at SEK 0.3 million and was recognised in the hedging reserve through OCI.

The closing amount in the hedging reserve at the end of the quarter was SEK –59.6 (11.7) million as a result of the changed market value of the bunker positions that are subject to hedge accounting. The closing balance for the translation differences, which are recognised in equity, amounted to SEK 481.9 (386.1) million at the reporting date. The changes are recognised in equity through OCI.

Investments and deposits

Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK 1.8 (19.4) million. Investments for the full year 2018 amounted to SEK 2.9 (78.0) million. The investments during the year were mainly related to scheduled periodic drydocking.

The Company's net investments in financial assets during the quarter amounted to SEK –85.3 (19.4) million and were related to trading in bonds. These are classified as short-term deposits in the Company's balance sheet. Net investments in financial assets for the full year amounted to SEK –102.5 (–39.8) million and were mainly related to bond purchases. These are classified as short-term deposits in the Company's balance sheet.

Significant events in 2018

  • Four MR (ECO) vessels chartered in (50% share)
  • Four Suezmax vessels chartered in (50% share)
  • Extended charters for the P-MAX tankers Stena Provence and Stena Paris.
  • Sale of shares in Suezmax vessels on period charters
  • Another year without any lost time injuries.

The Company has entered into a bunker hedge, which at the end of the quarter covered a total of 70,000 mt at an average price of USD 634.50 per mt, effective November 2019–June 2021. Hedge accounting is applied for the position, and the fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income. A fair value change of SEK –68.2 million for this position was reported in OCI during the quarter.

The Company also has positions of a more speculative nature for the price differential between bunker grades HSFO and MGO for the full year 2020 and the first six months of 2021. The total volume is 54,000 mt, with an average spread of USD 282. Changes in the market value of the positions are recognised in the income statement, and are SEK –26.0 (0.0) million for the quarter. These are classified as current receivables in the Company's balance sheet.

The Company has FFA positions of a more speculative nature in the price developments for freight route TD20 for the first quarter of 2019. The total volume is 30,000 mt. Changes in the market value of the positions are recognised in the income statement, and amount to SEK 0.4 (0.0) million for the quarter. These are classified as a current requirement in the Company's balance sheet.

Valuation of the fleet

The Group's standard process is to conduct six-monthly assessments of the fleet 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). At the end of December 2018, the fleet's carrying amount did not exceed its recoverable amount, which meant that there was no impairment loss recognised.

Seasonal variations

Three vessels from the sailing fleet of 23 (10 owned, 3 on bareboat contracts and 10 on 50% time charters) were out on time charters at the end of the quarter. Earnings for the vessels that are not signed out to time charters are related to the freight level on the open market. This 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 31/12/2018 was 6 (6). The Group employed 488 (473) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 124.4 (15,0) million, with intragroup invoicing representing SEK 0.7 (0.0) million of this amount. The Parent Company's sales for the full year 2018 totalled SEK 224.6 (44.8) million. Result before tax for 2018 was SEK –83.2 (6.7) million. The Parent Company's available liquid funds at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 1,036.0 (1,222.2) million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and unutilised credit facilities.

Events after the reporting date

There are no significant events to report after the end of the reporting date.

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 during the quarter. This was another quarter in which there were no workplace accidents on vessels resulting in an individual employee being unable to return to a work shift on the day after the accident. There was one medical treatment case during the quarter (Stena Primorsk: a crew member suffered a cut finger) and no restricted work cases.

There was one incident that included material damage during the quarter (Stena Primorsk: mooring ropes broke).

Concordia Maritime's vessels were not involved in any piracy-related incidents.

External controls

Nine vetting inspections were conducted during the quarter. There were 29 observations during these inspections, resulting in an average of 3.2 observations per inspection. One inspection during the quarter had more than 5 observations – Stena Primorsk generated 7 observations during an inspection in October. There were 35 vetting inspections during the full year, with 90 observations, resulting in an average of 2.6 observations per inspection.

No port state control resulted in the detention in port of any Concordia Maritime vessel during the quarter. No port state control resulted in the detention in port of any of the Company's vessels during the year.

Energy management

Efforts to reduce bunker consumption continued during the quarter. Bunker consumption in tonnes per day at sea for the quarter fell by 0.68 tonnes during the quarter, which means an annual outcome of a reduction in consumption of 0.23 tonnes, which is a little below this year's target. Reduced bunker consumption means lower emissions. See the table on page 8.

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 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 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.
  • Credit and financial risks are mainly 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 2017 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 policies have been applied as in the most recent annual report.

With effect from the 2018 financial year, IAS 18 Revenue will be replaced by IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company has chosen to apply a prospective transition, which means that there has been no restatement of comparative figures. Application of IFRS 15 has not resulted in any significant changes in the Group's financial statements.

As part of the transition to IFRS 15, the Company has divided time charter income into a portion related to leasing of vessels and a portion related to operating activities. The division of time charter income is based on the vessel's cost composition, i.e. the relationship between operating expenses and capital costs.

The Company's surplus liquidity is invested in bonds and shares. With effect from the 2018 financial year, the bonds are reported as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" in accordance with IFRS 9, which means they are recognised at fair value in the income statement. The accounting is unchanged from the previous accounting under IAS 39. The bonds are measured at fair value according to Level 1, observable market data. The shares are reported as "financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income"

in accordance with IFRS 9, which means they are recognised at fair value in other comprehensive income. The shares are measured at fair value according to Level 1, observable market data.

The transition to IFRS 9 has not had any material impact on the income statement, other comprehensive income or the statement of financial position in respect of the hedge accounting applied in accordance with IAS 39 for the interest rate swap that was terminated in 2017 and for which the capital gain is recognised in the income statement through OCI over the term of the agreement.

IFRS 16 is effective for the reporting of leases from 1 January 2019. For lessees, classification as operating leases and finance leases under IAS 17 disappears and is replaced with a model in which assets and liabilities for all leases are recognised in the balance sheet. Recognition exemptions are allowed for leases that have a low value and leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. In the income statement, depreciation is recognised separately from interest expenses associated with the lease liability. The effect for the Company will be that long-term leases for two vessels that are currently reported as operating leases will be reported as finance leases after the transition to IFRS 16. The total effect of the transition to IFRS 16 on the Company's financial statements is an increase corresponding to USD 72 million for both assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.

The Company has signed a bunker position which runs until June 2021. Hedge accounting is applied for this position and the fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income.

The Concordia Maritime Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The Group applies the same accounting policies and calculation methods in the quarterly reports as in the annual report for 2017, in addition to those described 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.
