SECOND QUARTER AND HALF-YEAR 2018 RESULTS
Financial performance
The Group's vessels are chartered out on time charter contracts to global and regional liner shipping companies. Time charter revenues were USD 33.0 million during Q2 2018 (Q1 2018: USD 19.6 million) and USD 52.6 million during H1 2018. The gross profit from vessel operations was USD 9.7 million in Q2 2018 (Q1 2018: USD 5.0 million) and USD 14.7 million in H1 2018.
The Group reports a profit before taxes of USD 0.5 million for Q2 2018 (Q1 2018: USD -1.0 million) and USD -0.6 million for H1 2018. The net result for the period was USD 0.5 million in Q2 2018 (Q1 2018: USD -1.0 million) and USD -0.6 million in H1 2018.
The financial performance of the Group needs to be put in perspective, given that the Group during 2017 and H1 2018 has been in the growth phase of its operation. As such, the operating result of the Group has been impacted by frequent vessel take-overs as well as one-off costs for the start-up phase associated with the establishment and development of the Company. The Group took over 22 vessels in the first half of 2018.
Financial position
The Group's total assets amounted to USD 414.6 million at 30 June 2018 (USD 400.0 million at 31 March 2018). Non-current assets in the amount of USD 378.9 million comprise of vessels taken over.
Total equity was USD 211.6 million at 30 June 2018 (USD 196.9 million at 31 March 2018) with minority interest of USD 0.4 million. As at 30 June 2018, the Group had interest-bearing financial liabilities in the amount of USD 193.6 million (USD 193.8 million as at 31 March 2018), mainly resulting from the bond issue in September 2017 and subsequent bond tap in February 2018.
Cash flow
During Q2 2018, the Group generated a positive cash flow from operating activities of USD 4.0 million (Q1 2018: USD 1.9 million). The cash flow from investing activities into vessels was USD -32.1 million (Q1 2018: USD -192.5 million). The positive cash flow from financing activities of USD 13.5 million (Q1 2018: USD 170.7 million) is due to the net proceeds from an equity contribution from the Parent.
The total net change in cash and cash equivalents from 31 March 2018 to 30 June 2018 was USD -14.6 million.
Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2018 are USD 25.0 million (USD 39.6 million as at 31 March 2018).
CONTAINER MARKET UPDATE
Further improvements were achieved in the container shipping market in the first half of 2018. With fleet growth of 5.6% and slightly lower trade growth of 5.4%, the balance of supply and demand was close to equilibrium. The strength of the market was reflected in a very modest idle fleet, which accounted for around 1.5% of the existing fleet in the last months of the first half of the year. Both charter rates and secondhand values rose significantly in the course of the first six months of the year. Only in recent weeks the usual seasonality has led to a weakening of charter rates in some segments.
Demand
The market recovery that began in 2017 continued well into the second half of 2018, based on a global cyclical upswing. In its latest publication from July 2018, the IMF maintained its estimate for world GDP growth of 3.9%. Nevertheless, the experts pointed to the dangers of trade tensions that could increase as a result of protectionist tariffs, which might cause adverse effects on confidence, asset prices, and investments. However, these risks are
MPC CONTAINER SHIPS INVEST B.V. FINANCIAL REPORT H1 2018
not expected to manifest themselves in the current year in terms of container trade growth; healthy growth of 5.4% is still expected. As the projected supply growth is 5.6%, the balance is likely to deteriorate slightly, but this should not have any negative impact on the feeder sector due to the distorted order book in respect of very large container ships.
Intra-Asian traffic, which is of high significance for feeder container ships, is expected to grow by 6.8% this year. The growth rate thus slows slightly compared to the previous year (7.0%), but remains on a healthy growth path, supporting the market balance in this region. Strong growth of 7.2% (6.4% in 2017) is expected on the North-South trades, another driver of feeder demand, in particular for high-reefer tonnage. Other intra-regional trades, such as Intra-Europe and Intra-Caribbean are also expected to grow by around 5%.
Fleet development
For the current year, deliveries of container ships with a carrying capacity of around 1.3 million TEU are being forecasted. As in previous years, the largest part are deliveries of container ships over 8,000 TEU. In the smaller segments, however, very moderate fleet growth of less than 1% of the existing fleet is expected.
Demolition activities were low in the first half of 2018 after the high levels seen over the last two years. Although scrap prices remained relatively high, continuing improvements in the charter market have led to the subdued scrapping activity.
2018 has recently seen a slight increase in idle fleet capacity, totaling overall 2.0% by end of June. The order book to total fleet capacity ratio is with 11.7% historically low while the first half of 2018 has seen a slightly higher pace in newbuildings than 2017 for the overall fleet but also for the feeder segment.
Contracting of feeder container ships between 1,800 - 2,800 TEU is becoming increasingly popular with both operators and non-operating shipowners. These investments can be understood as a reaction to an outdated fleet with high consumption figures. Especially against the background of ever stricter environmental regulations, such as the 2020 emission cap, a more sophisticated eco-tonnage promises higher future yields.
Newbuilding prices for container ships continue to gain ground, supported by improved demand in shipbuilding and steadily rising steel plate prices. Compared to the historical average, however, they remain restrained.
Newbuilding prices
Newbuilding prices in June 2018:
- 1,000 TEU: USD 18.25m (up 11% year-to-date)
- 1,700 TEU: USD 25.5m (up 13% year-to-date)
- 2,750 TEU: USD 32.5m (up 13% year-to-date)
- 4,800 TEU: USD 48.0m (up 9% year-to-date)
Secondhand prices
Secondhand prices (10yr old) in June 2018:
- 1,000 TEU: USD 7.0m (up 0% year-to-date)
- 1,700 TEU: USD 11.25m (up 25% year-to-date)
- 2,750 TEU: USD 14.0m (up 30% year-to-date)
- 4,300 TEU: USD 13.5m (up 35% year-to-date)
A combination of rising charter rates, good freight volumes and market sentiment has led to a steady increase in asset prices over the past 15 months. The majority of secondhand transactions were concluded in the liquid vessel sizes between 1,100 and 4,500 TEU, with vessels between 8 and 12 years of age being the primary focus.
MPC CONTAINER SHIPS INVEST B.V. FINANCIAL REPORT H1 2018
In recent weeks, seasonality has had an impact on container segment activity, leading to a lack of reported sales transactions. After the traditionally weak summer months, analysts expect a moderate increase in charter rates in the course of September, which should contribute to a further increase in secondhand prices and activity in the following months.
Charter rates
Time charter rates (6-12 months) in June 2018:
- 1,000 TEU: USD 8,500 (up 34% year-to-date)
- 1,700 TEU: USD 10,750 (up 26% year-to-date)
- 2,750 TEU: USD 12,100 (up 29% year-to-date)
- 4,300 TEU: USD 13,550 (up 69% year-to-date)
Time charter rates in container shipping improved in 2017, supported by positive market data, and well into the second quarter of 2018 in all size classes. In the last weeks of June, the charter market entered the summer slowdown with little activity and a slightly weakening trend.
The carriers' continuing demand for additional tonnage as a result of new service introductions and upgrades to existing services led to a decline in the idle fleet for most of the first half of the year. However, in the final weeks of the second quarter, the idle fleet grew following the recent withdrawals of several long-haul services.

OUTLOOK
While the summer has brought a soft weakening of rates and trade war fears pose a risk to the strong recovery of the container shipping industry seen over the last 15 months, the underlying market fundamentals remain intact for further market improvements in 2018 and 2019. The latest economic forecasts suggest that world trade will grow by 4.8% in 2018 and that the tariffs introduced so far will have only a minor impact on the growth of container demand.
With expected fleet growth falling to 3.4% in 2019, analysts expect 2019 to deliver an improved supply and demand balance 2019, compared to 2018, based on a stable world economy and healthy demand growth.
