Three Months Ended	Mar 31, 2016	Dec 31, 2015
Charter revenues (1)	$174m	$170m
EBITDA (2)	$139m	$142m
Net income	$47m	$54m
Earnings per share	$0.50	$0.58

Ole B. Hjertaker, CEO of Ship Finance Management AS, said in a comment: Ship Finance delivers yet another strong quarter, and our fleet renewal and diversification program continues with the recent delivery of two newbuilding container vessels with long term charters to Maersk Line.

Our business model has been tested through all market cycles, and we are to our knowledge the only maritime company which has been consistently profitable and paid dividends every quarter the last twelve years. Our key focus remains on prudently managing our balance sheet and our existing asset portfolio whilst sourcing new accretive opportunities through our industry relationships and unique access to deal flow.

Dividends and Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2016

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share. The dividend will be paid on or around June 29 to shareholders on record as of June 14 , and the ex-dividend date on the New York Stock Exchange will be June 10, 2016 . This is the 49 th consecutive quarterly dividend declared by the Company.

The Company reported total U.S. GAAP operating revenues on a consolidated basis of $117.6 million , or $1.26 per share, in the first quarter of 2016 . This number excludes $8.8 million of charter revenues classified as ‘repayment of investments in finance lease’, and $47.3 million of charter revenues earned by 100% owned assets classified as ‘investment in associate’. Inclusive of those revenues, the total actual revenues were $1.86 per share.

Charter revenues include total charter hire from all vessels and rigs, including assets in 100% owned subsidiaries classified as ‘Investment in associates’ and profit share income.
EBITDA is a non- GAAP measure and includes assets in 100% owned subsidiaries classified as 'Investment in associates'. For more details please see Appendix 1.

The 50% profit share agreement with Frontline contributed $24.7 million, or $0.26 per share in the first quarter above the base contracted rates. There was also a $0.2 million profit share in the first quarter relating to some of our dry bulk carriers.

Reported net operating income pursuant to U.S. GAAP for the quarter was $57.2 million, or $0.61 per share, and reported net income was $46.8 million, or $0.50 per share. This is after approximately $10.0 million, or $0.11 per share in negative non-cash charges, which includes a negative mark-to-market of $7.1 million related to interest rate hedging instruments and amortization of deferred charges of $2.9 million in the first quarter.

Business Update

As of March 31, 2016 , and adjusted for subsequent sales, the fixed-rate charter backlog from the Company's fleet of 74 vessels and rigs was approximately $4.2 billion , with an average remaining charter term of 5.2 years, or 9 years if weighted by charter revenue. Some of our charters include purchase options which, if exercised, may reduce the fixed charter backlog and average remaining charter term, but will increase the cash held on the Company’s balance sheet.

In February and May, Ship Finance took delivery of the remaining two 9,300-9,500 TEU newbuilding container vessels, adding to the vessel delivered in November 2015. The three vessels have been chartered to Maersk Line for a minimum period of five years, with options for the charterer to extend the period up to seven years. The aggregate EBITDA contribution from the three vessels during the firm period of the charters is estimated to be more than $32 million per year on average.

In February 2016, the Company sold and delivered the 1999-built offshore support vessel Sea Bear to an unrelated third party and simultaneously agreed to terminate the corresponding charter party with a subsidiary of Deep Sea Supply. Ship Finance received total gross proceeds of approximately $20 million in a combination of cash sales proceeds and $14.6 million amortizing notes from Deep Sea Supply, as compensation for the cancellation of the charter.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced that it had agreed to sell an older VLCC, the 1998-built Front Vanguard , to an unrelated third party. The vessel is scheduled to be delivered to its new owner in June, and Ship Finance will receive sales proceeds of approximately $24 million, including compensation from Frontline of approximately $0.4 million for the early termination of the charter. The Company does not expect a material book effect from the sale. Following the sale of Front Vanguard , Ship Finance will have 13 vessels remaining on charter to Frontline, including 11 VLCCs and two Suezmax crude oil carriers.

The crude oil tanker market remained strong through the first quarter, at levels significantly above the previous quarter. The market has continued at firm levels also into the second quarter of 2016, but market guiding from Frontline is lower than the first quarter. The profit share contribution from the vessels on charter to Frontline came in at $24.7 million in the first quarter and there are good prospects for a profit share to be earned also in the second quarter.

The Company also has exposure to the crude oil tanker market through two modern Suezmax tankers trading in a pool with two sister vessels owned by Frontline. The daily time charter equivalent revenues were approximately $37,600 on average in the first quarter.

The Company’s four drilling units generated approximately $51 million in aggregate EBITDA in the first quarter of 2016. All the rigs are chartered out on bareboat charters whereby our customers are responsible for operating costs and maintenance. The drilling market has experienced a dramatic downturn linked to reduced activity following the oil price decline. In light of this, it is important to note that the Company has always focused on rapidly reducing financial leverage on its drilling rigs and has already paid down more than 50% of the aggregate original loan amounts.

In the first quarter, the Company did not receive full charter hire on the jack-up drilling rig Soehanah , which has been chartered to a subsidiary of the Indonesia-based drilling company Apexindo since 2011. This is due to a soft drilling market in the region, and we are evaluating our alternatives given the situation. The current charter expires in February 2018, but we have taken a conservative approach and have not included it in the charter backlog figure above. The drilling rig was built in Singapore in 2007 and has a very good operating track-record. The financing amount on the rig is limited to only $25 million.

Two 1,700 TEU feeder-size container vessels are chartered out on short term time charters, and the rates achieved in the first quarter were marginally above operating expense levels. Seven Handysize dry bulk carriers are chartered out on short term time charters or trading in the spot market. The Company intends to continue trading these vessels in the short term market until long term rates improve.

Ship Finance owns a number of other vessels, including offshore support vessels, container vessels, car carriers, chemical tankers and dry bulk carriers. The majority of our vessels and rigs are chartered out on long term, fixed rate contracts that provide the Company with stability in cash flow and earnings, despite fluctuations in the short term charter markets.

Financing and Capital Expenditure

As of March 31, 2016 , Ship Finance had approximately $262 million of available liquidity, including $84 million in cash and approximately $177 million available under revolving credit facilities.

In addition, the Company had marketable securities of approximately $114 million, based on prevailing market prices at quarter end. This includes 11 million shares in Frontline, and financial investments in senior secured bonds. The secured bonds and the Frontline shares are recorded as ‘Available for sale securities’ on the balance sheet. We expect to receive $4.4 million in dividends from Frontline based on their first quarter dividend declared today.

In February, the Company redeemed the outstanding amount due under the $125 million Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes issued in 2011. The notes were due in February 2016, and the redemption was made from the Company’s available liquidity. The Company had a share settlement option with respect to these notes, but it was deemed more accretive for our shareholders to settle in cash instead of issuing new shares.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had capital expenditure commitments related to one 9,300 TEU container vessel, two 19,200 TEU container vessels and two 114,000 dwt LR2 product tankers. The 9,300 TEU container vessel was delivered to us in May, with a net payment of approximately $12 million after drawdown of $70 million in bank financing.

The two 19,200 TEU container vessels have expected delivery dates in late 2016 and early 2017 and will be financed through a 15-year lease agreement, matching the term of the charters to Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). Net remaining capital expenditure is limited to $15 million per vessel, payable upon the vessels’ respective deliveries from the shipyard.

The two 114,000 dwt product tankers are due for delivery in 2017, with remaining capital expenditure of approximately $49 million per vessel, before financing. Both vessels have been chartered out on long term time charters to Phillips 66, with a minimum period of seven years and options for the charterer to extend the period up to 12 years. The Company intends to secure long term financing for the two vessels well before delivery.

The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants and several of our financing arrangements are in subsidiaries with only limited guarantees from Ship Finance. There are no loan maturities coming due before the fourth quarter of 2017.

Strategy and Outlook

Management is committed to maintaining the conservative profile of the Company and the strategy of chartering out the majority of our assets on long term charters to reputable operators in the shipping and offshore markets. Our diversified and extensive charter portfolio with 9 years average remaining weighted charter coverage provides the Company with visible cash flows.

Investing in cyclical markets requires discipline, both in terms of market timing and in the manner in which transactions are structured. Since our inception, we have diversified our market exposure from tankers only to eight sub-sectors in the shipping and offshore industries and expanded our fleet to more than 70 vessels and rigs. We have worked continuously to renew and expand our portfolio and have been consistently profitable every quarter since our formation over 12 years ago.

It is important to note that the majority of our counterparties have performed according to contracted terms. In certain instances, we have restructured charter terms, often creating leverage to market strength as we did with Frontline. There have been other instances where charters have been terminated. This is the nature of operating in cyclical markets, and it is for this reason that we have a conservative approach to financial and operational leverage and have positioned our exposure to the offshore energy market accordingly by rapidly paying down debt on these assets.

Our approach is dynamic and focused on minimizing downside risk while maximizing revenues to support our distribution capacity, and the long term strategy of the Company is to continue building our dividend distribution capacity on the back of a diversified portfolio of high quality assets chartered to strong counterparties.

Accounting Items

Under U.S. GAAP, subsidiaries owning the drilling units West Hercules, West Taurus and West Linus have been accounted for as ‘investment in associate’ using the ‘equity method’.

All these equity accounted subsidiaries are wholly owned by Ship Finance, but due to the conservative structure of the leases, Ship Finance has not been deemed ‘primary beneficiary’ according to U.S. GAAP. As a result of the accounting treatment, operating revenues, operating expenses and net interest expenses in these subsidiaries are not shown in Ship Finance’s consolidated income statement. Instead, the net contribution from these subsidiaries is recognized as a combination of ‘Interest income from associates and long term investments’ and ‘Results in associate’.

In Ship Finance’s consolidated balance sheet, the net investments are shown as a combination of ‘Investment in associate’ and ‘Amount due from related parties - Long term’. The reason for this treatment is that a part of the investment in these subsidiaries is in the form of intercompany loans. For a further detailed explanation of these features, please consult our ‘Accounting Items’ presentation available as webcast at our website at www.shipfinance.bm.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward looking statements. These statements are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including Ship Finance management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although Ship Finance believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control, Ship Finance cannot give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or intentions.

Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements include the strength of world economies, fluctuations in currencies and interest rates, general market conditions including fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the markets in which we operate, changes in demand resulting from changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, developments regarding the technologies relating to oil exploration, changes in market demand in countries which import commodities and finished goods and changes in the amount and location of the production of those commodities and finished goods, increased inspection procedures and more restrictive import and export controls, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry docking and insurance costs, performance of our charterers and other counterparties with whom we deal, timely delivery of vessels under construction within the contracted price, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
