Highlights first quarter 2014 –excluding exceptional items- :

  • EBITDA decreased by 5% to EUR 180 million (Q1 2013: EUR 189 million). Adjusted for adverse currency effects (EUR 8 million), EBITDA decreased by 1%, mainly due to lower joint venture and operating results in the EMEA region.
  • EBIT decreased by 11% to EUR 124 million (Q1 2013: EUR 138 million). Adjusted for adverse currency effects (EUR 6 million) the decrease was 7%, mainly due to lower revenues combined with higher depreciation costs.
  • Net profit decreased by 15% to EUR 68 million (Q1 2013: EUR 80 million) and EPS decreased by 14% to EUR 0.54 (Q1 2013: EUR 0.63).
  • During the first quarter of 2014 storage capacity (including 100% for joint ventures and associates) increased by 0.5 million cbm to a total of 31.0 million cbm.

Outlook -excluding exceptional items- :

  • Assuming similar challenging business circumstances as we experienced in Q1, 2014 EBITDA is expected to be 5% to 10% lower than 2013 (EUR 753 million). We will provide an update on our longer-term EBITDA ambition in the second half year of 2014, following among others a review of the performance of our current terminals and exploring their potential for adding long-term value to our global terminal portfolio. In addition, we intensify our continuous focus on increasing efficiencies while improving service and safety.
  • Projects under development add 7.5 million cbm of storage capacity in the years up to and including 2017. The total investment for Vopak and partners in expansion projects is approximately EUR 1.7 billion, of which Vopak's total remaining cash spend is approximately EUR 0.4 billion.

Eelco Hoekstra, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Royal Vopak:

"After the publication of the FY 2013 results, we have not seen major improvements in our business climate as we continue to face challenges, mainly in the EMEA region. We experience stable occupancy rates in Asia and the Americas and a solid performance of our LNG business. Our Net Profit development in the first quarter of 2014 is negatively affected by lower revenues, decreased results from participations and increased depreciation resulting from among others our recent expansion projects.

In the first quarter of 2014, we realized an EBITDA -excluding exceptional items- of EUR 180 million. This is a 5% decrease compared to the same period in 2013 (EUR 189 million) and a 1% decrease when excluding adverse currency translation effects of EUR 8 million. In the remainder of 2014, we expect that some projects, which are planned to be commissioned, will weigh on the earnings per share development. This is caused by a phased build-up in the commercial occupancy of these projects. Assuming similar challenging business circumstances as we experienced in Q1, 2014 EBITDA is expected to be 5% to 10% lower than 2013 (EUR 753 million).

Although the current development of our financial performance can be explained by market challenges and uncertainties, it is not in line with our long-term ambitions. In 2014, as previously announced, Vopak has started a diligent review of the status and timing of all projects under consideration while accelerating the focus on further alignment of its global network with the current and future market developments. This includes among others reviewing the performance of our current terminals and exploring their potential for adding long-term value to our global terminal portfolio. In addition, we intensify our continuous focus on increasing efficiencies while improving service and safety. We will provide an update on our longer-term EBITDA ambition in the second half year of 2014.

Overall, we remain confident that our terminal network provides a solid foundation for future performance. In the long run, we see growing imbalances in the world between supply and demand of energy products and chemicals, increasing global trade, the necessity for excellent supply chain solutions and the need for safe and reliable storage. We were pleased to announce new investments in China and Canada during the first quarter of 2014.These investments follow our strategy to further optimize our global terminal network in line with our forecasts for the long-term developments of product flows.

We will continue to navigate our company through the current challenging business environment by maintaining our focus on optimizing net cash flows from operations and disciplined capital allocation."

Business highlights Q1 2014

  • In Q1 2014, Group operating profit before depreciation and amortization -excluding exceptional items- decreased by EUR 9.3 million or 5% to EUR 179.6 million from EUR 188.9 million in Q1 2013. Adjusted for adverse currency translation effects of EUR 7.6 million, the decrease of the EBITDA -excluding exceptional items- was 1%, mainly due to lower joint venture and operating results in the EMEA region.
  • On 15 January 2014, Vopak announced the signing of a 15-year operating contract by JTC Corporation with Banyan Caverns Storage Services Pte Ltd, a consortium formed by Vopak Terminals Singapore (45%; in which Vopak holds 69.5%), Geostock SAS (35%) and Jurong Consultants Pte Ltd (20%) for the first phase of Jurong Rock Caverns (JRC) in Jurong Island, Singapore.
  • On 10 March 2014, Vopak announced it has signed an Equity Transfer Agreement with Xianglu Petrochemical (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Xianglu) in Fujian province, China. The agreement comprises Vopak's acquisition of a 30% equity interest in Zhangzhou Gulei Haiteng Jetty Investment Management Company Limited (Haiteng). The closing of this acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and registrations and is expected to be finalized in 2014.
  • On 27 March 2014, Vopak announced the acquisition of a company with two distribution terminals for the storage and handling of refined products in Montreal and Quebec City, Canada. With the acquisition, Vopak Canada's storage capacity increased with 509,000 cbm to 712,000 cbm, while strengthening Vopak's presence in all strategic distribution market locations in eastern Canada.

Results Q1 2014

Revenues

In the first quarter of 2014, Vopak generated revenues of EUR 318.0 million, a decrease of EUR 3.5 million or 1% compared to EUR 321.5 in Q1 2013. The positive contributions of expansion projects were offset by a negative currency translation effect of EUR 11.2 million, divestments in 2013 and a lower occupancy rate for Vopak's subsidiaries (i.e. excluding joint ventures) of 88% versus 89% in Q1 2013. The decrease in occupancy rate was mainly due to unfavourable market conditions for the storage of oil products in Sweden.

Group operating profit

Group operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) -excluding exceptional itemsand including the net result of joint ventures and associates, decreased by EUR 9.3 million or 5% to EUR 179.6 million from EUR 188.9 million in Q1 2013. Adjusted for adverse currency translation effects of EUR 7.6 million, the decrease is 1%. The main reasons for the decrease were lower results from joint ventures and associates. The net result of joint ventures and associates -excluding exceptional items-, which is included in the reported EBIT(DA) based on IFRS equity accounting, decreased by EUR 8.2 million or 27% to EUR 22.0 million (Q1 2013: EUR 30.2 million). Besides negative currency translation effects of EUR 1.1 million, this was mainly due to the difficult business environment at the terminal in Estonia resulting from competition of new Russian facilities.

Depreciation and amortization charges amounted to EUR 55.8 million, which was EUR 5.3 million higher compared to the first quarter of 2013 (EUR 50.5 million), including a positive currency translation effect of EUR 1.7 million. The higher depreciation is partly due to the new terminal in Algeciras (Spain), which was opened at the end of the comparable period of previous year.

Group operating profit (EBIT) -excluding exceptional items- amounted to EUR 123.8 million, which was

EUR 14.6 million or 11% lower compared to the first quarter of 2013 (EUR 138.4 million). Adjusted for adverse currency translation effects of EUR 5.9 million, the decrease of the EBIT -excluding exceptional items- was 7%.

For the twelve-month period ended on 31 March 2014, Vopak's worldwide storage capacity increased by 0.7 million cbm from 30.3 million cbm as per the end of March 2013 to 31.0 million cbm per the end of March 2014.

Net profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares

The net profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares -excluding exceptional items- amounted to EUR 68.2 million, a decrease of EUR 11.7 million or 15% compared to EUR 79.9 million in the first quarter of 2013. Earnings per ordinary share -excluding exceptional items- amounted to EUR 0.54, a decrease of 14% compared to EUR 0.63 in the first quarter of 2013.

Financial position

Vopak retains a solid capital structure, with a healthy balance between equity and debt funding sources and a robust cash flow generation. The net interest-bearing debt increased to EUR 1,882.3 million (31 December 2013: EUR 1,824.7 million). The Senior net debt : EBITDA ratio moved from 2.53 as at 31 December 2013 to 2.61 as at 31 March 2014. Senior net debt comprises among others net interest-bearing debt and credit replacement guarantees for some joint venture projects. Credit replacement guarantees will be influenced by future commissioning and development of commercial coverage of these projects. The current ratio provides sufficient financial headroom to complete the storage capacity expansions currently under development.

Netherlands (9.5 million CBM): "Challenges remain"

In the Netherland division, revenues amounted to EUR 109.9 million and were slightly lower than the first quarter of 2013 (EUR 110.8 million). The occupancy rate increased from 85% in Q1 2013 to 88% in Q1 2014. The higher occupancy rates did not result in higher revenues due to the change in product-mix and average slightly lower storage rates for certain product groups.

Group operating profit -excluding exceptional items- of the Netherlands division decreased by 3% to EUR 40.4 million (Q1 2013: EUR 41.8 million). The decrease was mainly caused by higher depreciation charges.

EMEA (9.6 million CBM): "Challenging business circumstances"

In the EMEA division, revenues increased by EUR 4.6 million or 8% to EUR 63.0 million from EUR 58.4 million in the first quarter of 2013, including a currency translation loss of EUR 0.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by the terminal in Algeciras (Spain), which was opened at the end of the comparable period of previous year. The occupancy rate decreased from 89% in Q1 2013 to 80% in Q1 2014, mainly due to unrented capacity in Sweden.

Group operating profit -excluding exceptional items- of the EMEA division declined by EUR 8.7 million or 34% from EUR 25.6 in Q1 2013 to EUR 16.9 million in Q1 2014. The results include a negative currency translation effect of EUR 0.2 million. The decline was mainly due to a lower result of the joint venture in Estonia because of a difficult business environment and increased competition from new Russian facilities and challenges at other locations.

Asia (7.4 million CBM): "Steady performance offset by adverse currency translation effects" In the Asia division, revenues decreased by EUR 3.0 million or 3% to EUR 86.7 million from EUR 89.7 million in the first quarter of 2013, including an adverse currency translation effect of

EUR 6.7 million. The average occupancy rate was equal to last year (Q1 2014: 95%).

Group operating profit -excluding exceptional items- of the Asia division declined by EUR 4.0 million or 7% to EUR 53.1 million (Q1 2013: EUR 57.1 million). This included a currency translation loss of EUR 4.6 million. The contribution of the capacity expansions were offset by the effects of the divestments done in the second half of 2013, higher pre-operating expenses and lower result of the terminal in Zhangjiagang due to less spot business.

Americas (3.7 million CBM): "Steady performance offset by adverse currency translation effects"

In the Americas division, revenues in Q1 2014 amounted to EUR 56.9 million, a decrease of EUR 4.2 million or 7% compared with EUR 61.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease is caused by adverse currency translation effects of EUR 3.9 million, and the divestment of the terminal in San Antonio (Chile) in the second half of 2013. The occupancy rate was equal to last year (Q1 2014: 91%).

Group operating profit -excluding exceptional items- decreased by EUR 0.7 million or 5% to EUR 14.2 million (Q1 2013: EUR 14.9 million). The decrease is caused by negative currency translation effects of EUR 1.0 million.

Non-allocated (including LNG activities): "Solid performance LNG taking into account a one-off in 2013"

Business activities not allocated to a specific geographic segment are reported under Non-allocated. These primarily include the global LNG activities and global operating costs not allocated to the divisions. Global operating costs not allocated to the divisions amounted to EUR 6.2 million (Q1 2013: EUR 8.4 million).

The global LNG activities consist of the joint venture results of Gate terminal (the Netherlands) and LNG Terminal Altamira (Mexico) and project costs with regard to our LNG feasibility studies. The net result of joint ventures for Q1 2014 amounted to EUR 6.7 million (Q1 2013: EUR 8.7 million, including a one-off positive tax adjustment of EUR 2.4 million at LNG terminal Altamira, Mexico).

Subsequent events

  • On 12 April 2014, Pengerang Independent Terminals Sdn Bhd (PITSB) announced the arrival of its first product by vessel to its independent crude oil and petroleum products storage facility at Pengerang. Phase 1 of Pengerang Terminal covers 150 acres of reclaimed sea-bed land with initial storage capacity of approximately 1.3 million cbm. It is owned by PITSB, a joint venture among Dialog Group Berhad, Royal Vopak and State Secretary, Johor (Incorporated). Phase 1A was completed last month and it consists of 25 tanks with a total storage capacity of 432,000 cbm for clean petroleum products.
  • On 16 April 2014, Vopak announced that Vopak E.O.S., the joint venture in Tallinn, Estonia in which it holds a 50% participation, has informed its stakeholders by a press release about the initiative to re-align the organization as a response to changes of the marketplace over the last few years. As previously announced in Vopak's recent press releases (HY1 2013, Q3 2013 Trading update, and FY 2013), the Vopak E.O.S. joint venture results are affected by a difficult business environment.
