Matters to Be Reported:

1. 2015 Business Report

I. Introduction

The downturn of the bulk shipping market in the past few years can be best described as “oversupply” ie. over capacity of vessels versus slack demand for commodities.

According to a recent report released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economic growth in 2015 has dipped to 3.1% from the previous year due to the slowing down in the developing countries, among which China bore the brunt of the economic slowdown. The country’s economic growth in 2015 was merely 6.9%, the first time below the 7% mark. However, IMF has forecasted that the global growth in 2016 will recover by 3.4%. India, the Asian country that is at the heels of China, is expected to maintain its growing pace at 7.3% as in 2015, while China may further revise its growth rate down to 6.3% in 2016.

The commodity slump in 2014 has continued into 2015 as prices of various dry bulk cargoes plunged into historical lows. The price of China’s iron ore import (62% fe) dived by 77% from US$160 per ton in February 2013 to US$37 per ton in December 2015. Driven by U.S.’s breakthrough in the shale oil drilling technology and its high output, the crude oil price fell below US$40 per barrel in mid December 2015 and sank further below US$30 in January 2016, down by nearly 74% from its peak in June 2014. Although the global demand for iron ore is declining, China’s import of iron ore in 2016 is expected to hit another record high of 950m tons in 2016, up by 2.2%. The country will also see an 8.8% increase in crude oil import this year. According to the Chinese General Administration of Customs, as China’s economy moves into a new norm, the domestic economy has been challenged by tremendous downward pressure as import of major commodities is growing at a slower pace.

One of China’s key initiatives to ‘stabilize growth’ is to pursue its railway investments which is expected to reach RMB800 billion (or NT$4 trillion) in 2016. This initiative also involves the on-going efforts in advancing the ‘global’ strategic goals in its railway sector eg. the highly anticipated Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Rail Project between China and Indonesia of which construction will commence in early 2016. With the China’s “Thirteenth Five-year Planning” and the “One Belt, One Road” initiatives, the expected increase in construction projects in the developing countries will also spur the global demand for steel and energy.

In comparison with iron ore and crude oil, the prospect for coal is less optimistic. The coal sector has been undergoing major restructuring due to the increased environmental awareness advocated by the international climate bodies, which continues to diminish both usage and demand for coal. Many countries have been seeking alternate energies to replace traditional coal-fired plants and also cutting excessive coal capacity to mitigate pollution. China, being the largest coal importer in the world, has imported 240m tons of coal in 2015, nearly 30% less than the previous year; this has severely impacted the international coal market. In contrast, India is sticking to its five-year economic plan and steps up investment in power and infrastructure construction, in bid to tackle the challenge of its domestic power shortage. Despite facing pressure from international environmental stipulations, the projected coal import into India is expected to reach 200m tons per year by 2020. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has forecasted that the annual coal demand from India and ASEAN countries will grow by 4.1% and 7.8% respectively in the next five years, enough to make up the dwindling demand from the U.S. and Europe but falls short of replacing China to drive the international coal market.

In the dry bulk shipping market, freight rates remained sluggish due to the oversupply of ships. According to Clarksons, the number and gross tonnage of ships in 2015 was at a record high. And the Baltic Dry Index (BDI)’s average was at 718 points, the lowest since 1986. However, the overall tonnage supply growth which peaked in 2010 has been diminishing on a yearly basis since then. The new orders’ gross tonnage as a percentage of existing ships has also dropped from 65% five

  • 4 -

years ago to the present 16%, indicating an on-going reduction of new orders in recent years which signals that the market is gradually reaching a balance. The number of ships scrapped in 2015 is up by 77% as compared to the previous year; however, this only accounted for 3.8% of the total shipping capacity thus far from offsetting the growth.

Despite facing with the many challenges in the shipping market environment, U-Ming has been adopting various reform initiatives like eco-friendly fleet renewals to improve fuel efficiency and to protect the environment; systems’ upgrading to grasp market trends effectively and ships’ connectivity to improve operational efficiency. As early as 2010, the company has pioneered into ordering eight eco-ships from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (SWS), exhibiting its commitment to environment protection and fuel efficiency. The sixth ship of such series was commissioned at the end of 2015 and the remaining two units will be delivered in 2016. Following the U.N. Paris Climate Change Conference held in end 2015, it is inevitable that harsher CO2 emission regulations will be imposed onto the shipping industry. U-Ming, through its early implementation of its “young and eco-fleet portfolio” strategy, has been in the fore front in building the company’s competiveness which was highly appreciated and favoured by its clients. This affirms the company’s philosophy in building U-Ming into a sustainable enterprise that favours all of its shareholders, clients and stakeholders.

II. Business Performance

In 2015, U-Ming reported a consolidated revenue of NT$7.924 billion, net income of NT$824.397 million and after-tax earnings per share (EPS) of NT$0.96.

U-Ming will continue its fleet renewal and expansion plan. There were 2 Capesize and 3 Panamax bulk carriers delivered in 2015; and 1 Capesize bulk carrier was disposed off in the same year. As at end 2015, U-Ming owned a total of 37 vessels. For the new building orders, 2 Capesize and 4 Ultramax bulk carriers will be delivered between 2016 and 2017. The company will carry on its ‘smart and eco-friendly’ fleet policy at appropriate timings. The joint venture company “Global Energy Maritime Co., Ltd.”, which U-Ming has set up with CPC Taiwan, is another avenue for the company to strengthen its fleet portfolio and to leverage on other market sectors’ opportunity. Under the prudent management team and with the comprehensive information platforms, U-Ming is able to continuously track down the industry’s development and investment opportunities; as well as to save operating costs effectively and to mitigate operational risks through sound risk management and optimal vessel planning & scheduling. Being environmentally responsible at sea and ashore has long been U-Ming’s corporate mission. The company has committed to building new green ships with environment-friendly designs and adopted sound ashore and on-board energy-efficient and carbon-reduction initiatives such as Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Environment Management System (EMS).

III. Business Strategy

Facing with a rapidly changing market environment, U-Ming has to be adaptive and prudent in its operations. The company’s comprehensive “Customer Relations Management (CRM)” system provides updated information and development of its customers and industries. This robust e-platform is able to collect real-time market information and enables the company to understand the clients’ needs and grasp the market trend in order to promptly adjust its business strategy and to improve operational efficiency. Furthermore, the newly enhanced information platform also allows more effective connectivity between ships and shore personnel with information being transmitted timely thus able to monitor the vessels’ operations more closely and effectively to achieve higher efficiency and lowering the overall operating costs.

Maintaining a healthy financial system is an important foundation for sustainable operations. U-Ming takes full advantage of its diversified financing channels to keep its cost of capital under tight control and constantly monitor the foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate trends in order to manage these risks effectively.

  • 5 -

U-Ming treasures its employees as an highly important asset of the company. Human resource trainings and upgrading for onshore and sea personnel are scheduled periodically. U-Ming Marine (Xiamen) International Ship Management Co., Ltd. was established to expand the scope of operations in China that includes crew recruitment and deployment, as well as ship management functions. The company also abides by its operating philosophy to carry out regular vessels’ maintenance and to provide proper working environment onboard to ensure crew safety; and to set up effective safety management systems to comply with the international maritime regulations and port state control inspections.

U-Ming spares no effort in protecting the marine ecological environment. It has developed a “Green Vision” for both ashore and onboard personnel, implementing various environmental protection policies such as innovative green-vessel designs and opting slow steaming for vessels to reduce harmful gas emissions etc thus cultivating the green mindset throughout the organization to achieve a sustainable growth.

Depending on the development of the freight market, the company will appropriately increase the proportion of long-term contracts to secure stable revenue thus reducing operating risks. The company will also carefully select reputable and financially-sound customers as our business partners and take advantage of favourable new building prices for our continuous fleet renewal program to ensure a young fleet portfolio in order to maintain our competitiveness and maximizing our shareholders’ value.

U-Ming’s short-term goals are:

  1. Continue with the fleet renewal plan.

  2. Introduction of e-platform to enhance ship deployment plan and cost control.

  3. Secure long-term Contract of Affreightment (COA) with reputable clients with good credit ratings and assets to reduce operating risk.

  4. Enhance Port State Control’s (PSC) inspection records and achieve a zero detention rate.

  5. Increase environmental awareness both on-board and ashore to demonstrate corporate social responsibility for preserving the marine ecological environment.

U-Ming’s long-term goals are:

  1. Continue to plan and expand fuel-efficient and high performance fleet and achieve a sustainable growth.

  2. Diversify regional risks and seek for reputable business partners.

  3. Diversify into various shipping segments and portfolio of vessels.

  4. Merge and acquire suitable companies with good synergy and asset standing.

  5. Commit to corporate social responsibility and be a good corporate citizen.

IV. Conclusion

The dry bulk shipping market will continue to face many challenges in 2016. Facing with constantly changing market environment, U-Ming will continue to practise its philosophy for business development ie. “Sincerity, Diligence, Thrift, Prudence and Innovation”. Despite the market uncertainty, the company will maintain a high degree of dedication and adaptability in order to maximize profits and shareholders’ value. Under the prudent leadership of our management and a healthy financial position, we are confident that U-Ming will live up to the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders and continue to grow and prosper in 2016; striving towards the vision of “Based on our shipping core competency”, “To be the World-class Logistics and Transportation Company” and “To be the First Choice for Customers, Employees and Investors”. We shall continue to be a good corporate citizen to fulfil our corporate social responsibility and to be a role model for operational excellence.
