PRESIDENT'S OVERVIEW

Concordia Maritime reported a result before tax of SEK –1.1 (4.1) million for the third quarter of 2013. Cash flow from operations (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 45.5 (52.7) million, corresponding to USD 6.9 (7.8) million.

Our open market P-MAX vessels generated approx. USD 13,600 per day, which is an improvement compared to the second quarter, while the overall results for the quarter were also somewhat better. At the same time, growth in the product tanker market was weaker than expected. While it is true that the market has strengthened over the first nine months, compared with the same period the previous year, it is currently very weak.

Shift in trade patterns

Demand for transportation of petroleum products from Europe to the United States is lower than in several years, but conversely, exports of refined products from the United States are high. This is a not unexpected but nevertheless interesting shift resulting from enhanced oil recovery on the American continent. The market in Asia/Far East has shown mixed signals.

Our long-term view has not changed and we still have confidence in gradual growth in demand for product tanker transport and an increased utilisation rate for the global tanker fleet, with a steady improvement in freight rates. We consider ourselves well positioned to benefit from these trends. After redelivery of Stena Penguin from her time charter in the third quarter, we now have nine out of thirteen vessels employed on the open market.

Stena Supreme

Our suezmax tanker Stena Supreme had a relatively good quarter. A combination of a temporarily strong market in the segment during late July and early August and very good freighting operations by Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool resulted in a significantly higher income than in the previous quarters, which was approx. USD 18,400 per day, compared with USD 15,800 in the second quarter. The strong market was short-lived and the market is now very weak for this segment too.

P-MAX through the Northeast Passage

On 17 September, Stena Polaris left the Russian port of Ust Luga to make a voyage to Yuso in South Korea via the Northeast Passage. This is the first time one of our P-MAX tankers has sailed the sea route north of Europe and Asia. The tanker was under a time charter to Stena during the voyage, which was made in the context of an interesting new collaboration between Stena and the Korean company Hyundai Glovis. After the cargo was discharged in Korea, the vessel was employed locally. She has just sailed to China to be converted to IMO3 class. The plan is for the vessel to take a cargo of vegetable oil back to Europe via the Suez Canal – a textbook example of tankers with flexible cargo capacity offering opportunities for more income days. Now that Stena Polaris has been upgraded we have six vessels able to transport both fossil and vegetable oil products.

Application for arbitration against Concordia Maritime

As mentioned in previous reports, the vessel Stena Primorsk suffered a grounding in the Hudson River in December 2012, while employed under a recently initiated time charter. There was no injury or damage to people or the environment, although the vessel's outer hull was damaged. We concluded that it was not safe to continue operating the vessel in this shipping channel and the customer was duly informed. In April, the customer broke the time-charter contract with an early redelivery of the vessel.

The customer has decided to file a large claim (approx. USD 25 million) against the vessel owner for the economic damage they say they have incurred and in July requested that the matter be settled by arbitration in the United States. We reject the claim and are preparing for arbitration.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

Nine of the fleet's 13 vessels were employed on the open market at the end of the quarter. All vessels in the fleet operated well and without incidents during the first nine months of the year.

P-MAX

Our ten P-MAX tankers are the backbone of our modern, safe and efficient fleet. Five of the vessels have been converted to IMO 3 class tankers, which means that they can carry vegetable oils in addition to crude oil and petroleum products. We took redelivery of Stena Penguin from her time charter during the quarter and now employ eight of the ten P-MAX tankers on the open market.

Our extensive safety and environmental work that is carried out every day on all of our ships continues to produce effects on a daily basis and we were spared from any incidents onboard our ships in the third quarter.

We do not have any scheduled drydocking involving lost income days in 2013.

Panamax

Stena Poseidon and Palva, which we own in a joint venture with Neste Shipping, are now sailing under the British flag. The two Panamax tankers have been operating according to plan under their respective time charters, which last until early 2017.

Suezmax

Our suezmax crude oil tanker Stena Supreme continues to be employed on the open market via the Stena-controlled Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool. The Pool had a relatively good quarter, resulting in improved income for Stena Supreme. The Pool consists of 25–30 modern suezmax tankers.

Newbuilding program

The newbuilding program for the two 50,000 dwt product tankers we ordered in June 2012 is proceeding according to plan.

The vessels, which are part of a series designed with Stena Bulk and Stena Weco, are being developed in a collaboration between Stena Teknik and Guangzhou Shipyard International in China. The concept is called IMO2MAX, which indicates that they are IMO 2 vessels. Concordia Maritime's two vessels in the series will be named Stena Image and Stena Important.

When the tankers are delivered in late 2014/early 2015, they will be among the most sophisticated in the market and at the forefront in terms of both energy efficiency and cargo flexibility.

FREIGHT MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Suezmax1) Product tankers (MR)

Product tankers

Demand for transportation of petroleum products remained very uneven and the market was generally weaker than expected. In particular, the transatlantic traffic between Europe and the U.S. was the weakest it has been in over ten years. At the end of the quarter, an arbitrage window opened for diesel flows from the U.S. to Europe, resulting in strong demand and higher freight rates on this route. The spike in freight rate was short-lived.

Suezmax

The suezmax segment strengthened during parts of the quarter. The explanation appears to be the disappearance of the price differential between Brent and WTI, which had

been USD 15–20 for a long time. As a consequence, the flow of crude oil from West Africa to the United States increased significantly and the freight rates rose accordingly.

However, as was the case in the MR segment, the quarter ended weak and freight rates fell in September. Overall, this means that average freight rates in the third quarter were in line with the same period the previous year.

Newbuilding prices

Newbuilding prices for tankers remain low, in terms of how price levels have been over the last decade. Newbuilding prices rose slightly during the quarter and at the end of September they were approx. USD 34 million for product tankers and approx. USD 56 million for suezmax tankers.

Financial summary

Equity

Equity per share was SEK 27.24 (27.62).

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 August 2012, the Board of Concordia Maritime decided to terminate the equity hedge that represented approx. 50 percent of equity in foreign subsidiaries (corresponding to USD 125 million).

The accumulated exchange differences including the effects of forward contracts, which are recognised in equity, amounted to SEK 10.2 (35.4) million. The changes are recognised in equity through OCI.

The company has entered into interest rate swaps totalling USD 100 million to protect itself against interest rate fluctuations. They are structured to cover approx. 40 percent of anticipated future borrowing within existing credit facilities and a large proportion of them do not expire until 2015. At the end of the third quarter, the value of these contracts

was SEK –23.3 (–43.6) million, which is recognised in the hedging reserve through OCI.

Since 2011, financial investments in NOK and GBP have been hedged by NOK/USD foreign exchange forward contracts in order to make them currency-neutral. Hedging was previously used, with the change in value of the forward contract being recognised in the hedging reserve through OCI. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Group stopped using hedge accounting for currency risks, and the changes in value of the forward contracts are now recognised in the income statement. At the end of the period, the total hedging reserve stood at SEK –24.0 (–42.5) million.

Investments

Investments during the period January to September amounted to SEK 34.5 (410.6) million and relate to advance payments for two tankers, with delivery of the first of these scheduled for the end of 2014.

Impairment

The Group's assets are assessed on a six-monthly basis to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY CONTD.

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. An impairment loss of USD 60 million was recognised for the fleet on 30 June 2012. Impairment testing of the asset values at 30 June 2013 did not indicate any impairment. Impairment testing is based on an overall assessment of future earnings, newbuilding prices and average values from three independent ship brokers.

Seasonal variations

Four of our fleet of 13 vessels were chartered out on fixed contracts and nine were employed on the open market, which means that income is affected by the seasonal variations that occur in tanker shipping.

Employees

The number of employees in the Group at 30 September 2013 was 392 (381), 386 (375) of whom were seagoing employees.

Financial investments

The bond portfolio is classified under available-for-sale financial assets and is recognised at market value in OCI. At the end of the quarter, bonds were owned in Teekay Offshore, Teekay LNG, Rabobank, Golden Close Maritime, Kungsleden Fastigheter, Wind Acquisition and Bonheur. The total value of the bond portfolio was USD 13.3 (14.5) million.

Total short-term investments corresponded to SEK 85.1 (94.9) million. The bond portfolio is recognised at fair value through equity using quoted market prices.

Tax

A previous tax provision of USD 1.4 million was reversed during the year, as this tax risk no longer exists, while a new provision of USD 1.4 million relating to withholding tax in

Parent

The parent company's total income for the third quarter amounted to SEK 0.1 (0) million. Intragroup invoicing represented SEK 0 (0) million of this amount. The parent company's result after financial items for the third quarter amounted to SEK –20.3 (9.8) million. The parent company's available liquid funds amounted to SEK 1,552.0 (2,047.4) million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and unutilised credit facilities.

Demand for damages

In July, the vessel owner received an application for arbitration for the damage the customer believes the company has caused them in connection with Stena Primorsk's grounding in the Hudson River in December 2012 and the company's decision to stop operating the vessel in this shipping channel. In July 2013, the customer requested that the matter be settled by arbitration in the United States. The vessel owner strongly rejects the claim of approx. USD 25 million and is preparing for arbitration. The company's fees for legal and similar assistance regarding this matter are charged to the company's earnings as incurred.

Switzerland was recognised. As a result of SEK/USD exchange rate, the company's profit in SEK has changed, while profit in USD remains unchanged.

OTHER INFORMATION

Related party transactions

Concordia Maritime has a small internal organisation, and purchases services from related-party companies in the Stena Sphere, which includes 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.

Stena Weco

At the beginning of April 2011, 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.
