We reported shipping revenues for the third quarter of 2015 of $92.0 million compared to shipping revenues of $34.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase from the 2014 period to the 2015 period was due to an increase in the fleet including the addition of seven vessels through the Samco acquisition in September 2014 and a stronger market.

Voyage expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $17.2 million, compared to voyage expenses of $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase was mainly due to an increase in the fleet and an increase in the number of vessels operating in the spot market.

Vessel operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $15.4 million, compared to $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase was due to an increase in the fleet. The operating expenses in the 2015 period include $0.9 million in French Flag component being reimbursable from the respective clients time-chartering the four vessels in question with the reimbursement recorded as part of shipping revenues.

Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $19.6 million for the third quarter 2015, compared to $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase was mainly due to an increase in the fleet.

General & administrative expense (“G&A”) for the third quarter 2015 was $4.6 million, consisting of $2.9 million cash and $1.7 million non-cash, compared to $5.6 million consisting of $4.6 million cash and $1.0 million non-cash in the third quarter of 2014. The 2015 period reflects the addition of the Samco organization and building up DHT’s in-house commercial department. The G&A for the third quarter of 2014 was impacted by costs related to the acquisition of Samco in September 2014.

Net financial expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $7.7 million compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase from the 2014 period is due to an increase in debt related to vessels acquired and the issue of the $150 million convertible senior notes in September 2014.

We had net income in the third quarter of 2015 of $27.5 million, or $0.30 per basic share and $0.27 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.1 million, or $0.10 per basic share and $0.10 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2014.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the third quarter of 2015 was $44.2 million compared to $3.2 million for the third quarter 2014.  The increase is mainly due to an increase in the fleet and higher freight rates in the 2015 period.

Net cash used in investing activities for the third quarter of 2015 was $1.3 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the third quarter of 2014 was $300.7 million mainly related to the net investment in Samco of $256.3 million, pre-delivery installments of $41.0 million related to VLCC newbuildings ordered and capital expenses related to drydocking totaling $3.1 million.

 

 

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had made $219.2 million in predelivery payments related to the six newbuilding contracts entered into in December 2013 and January and February 2014.  The remaining predelivery payments totaling $65.8 million are due with $37.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, $18.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2016. The final payments at delivery of the vessels totaling $288.1 million will be funded with bank debt financing that has been secured.

Net cash used in financing activities for the third quarter of 2015 was $21.9 million related to cash dividend paid and repayment of long term debt.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the third quarter of 2014 was $285.7 million related to a registered direct offering of 23,076,924 shares generating net proceeds of $144.9 million after payment of placement agent fees and expenses and the issuance of convertible senior notes generating net proceeds of $145.2 million after payment of placement agent fees and expenses offset by repayment of debt of $3.0 million and dividend of $1.4 million.

We declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per common share for the third quarter of 2015 payable on November 25, 2015 for shareholders of record as of November 17, 2015.

We monitor our covenant compliance on an ongoing basis. As of the date of our most recent compliance certificates submitted for the third quarter of 2015, we remain in compliance with our financial covenants.

As of September 30, 2015, our cash balance was $158.2 million, compared to $166.7 million as of December 31, 2014.

As of September 30, 2015, we had 92,850,581 shares of our common stock outstanding compared to 92,493,304 as of September 30, 2014.

We reported shipping revenues for the first three quarters of 2015 of $270.5 million compared to shipping revenues of $77.9 million in the first three quarters of 2014. The increase was due to a larger fleet including the addition of seven vessels through the Samco acquisition in September 2014 and a stronger market.

Voyage expenses for the first three quarters of 2015 were $54.2 million compared to voyage expenses of $23.8 million in the first three quarters of 2014. The increase was mainly due an increase in the fleet and more vessels operating in the spot market.

Vessel operating expenses for the first three quarters of 2015 were $44.4 million, compared to $28.0 million in the first three quarters of 2014. The increase was due to an increase in the fleet. The operating expenses in 2015 include $2.5 million in French Flag component being reimbursable from the respective clients time-chartering the four vessels in question with the reimbursement recorded as part of shipping revenues.

Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $58.6 million for the first three quarters of 2015, compared to $26.0 million in the first three quarters of 2014. The increase was mainly due to an increase in the fleet.

 

 

 

 

G&A for the first three quarters of 2015 was $16.5 million, consisting of $10.8 million cash and $5.7 million non-cash, compared to $11.1 million consisting of $9.4 million cash and $1.7 million non-cash in the first three quarters of 2014. The 2015 period reflects the addition of the Samco organization and building up DHT’s in-house commercial department.

Net financial expenses for the first three quarters of 2015 were $23.7 million, compared to $4.6 million in the first three quarters of 2014.  The increase is due to an increase in debt related to vessels acquired, the issue of the $150 million convertible senior notes in September 2014 and the expense related to previously unamortized upfront fees related to the financing of the Samco Scandinavia that was refinanced in the second quarter of 2015 partly offset by fair value gain on derivative financial instruments.

We had a net income for the first three quarters of 2015 of $72.9 million, or $0.79 per basic share and $0.73 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $15.6 million, or $0.23 per basic share and $0.23 per diluted share in the first three quarters of 2014.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three quarters of 2015 was $120.7 million compared to $13.1 million for the first three quarters of 2014.  The increase is mainly due to an increase in the fleet and higher freight rates in the 2015 period.

*Commencing with the second quarter of 2016, subject to a free cash flow calculation, we will be required to pay installments under the RBS credit facility equal to free cash flow (after adjusting for capital expenditures for the next two quarters) for DHT Maritime, Inc. during the preceding quarter, capped at $7.5 million per quarter. In October 2015 DHT Maritime, Inc. prepaid $3.9 million under the RBS credit facility.

**In October 2015 the total outstanding under the DHT Eagle credit facility amounting to $22.9 million was prepaid.

In December 2014 we entered into a credit facility totalling $302.0 million with Nordea, DNB and DVB as lenders, and DHT Holdings, Inc. as guarantor for the re-financing of the financing of Samco Europe, Samco China, Samco Amazon, Samco Redwood, Samco Sundarbans and Samco Taiga as well as the financing of the DHT Condor.  Borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to Libor + 2.50% and are repayable in 20 quarterly installments of $5.1 million from March 2015 to December 2019 and a final payment of $199.8 million in December 2019. The credit facility is guaranteed by DHT and contains a covenant requiring that at all times the charter-free market value of the vessels that secure the credit facility be no less than 135% of borrowings. Also, DHT covenants that, throughout the term of the credit facility, DHT, on a consolidated basis, shall maintain:

*value adjusted defined as an adjustment to reflect the difference between the carrying amount and the market valuations of the Company’s vessels (as determined quarterly by an approved broker).

 

 

 

 

In February 2014 we entered into a credit facility for up to $50.0 million with DNB, as lender, and DHT Holdings, Inc. as guarantor for the financing of the acquisition of the two vessels, DHT Falcon and DHT Hawk.  Commencing in June 2015 borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to Libor + 2.50%, down from Libor + 3.25%.  The loan is repayable in 20 quarterly installments of $1.0 million from May 2014 to February 2019 and a final payment of $29.0 million in February 2019. The credit facility is guaranteed by DHT and contains a covenant requiring that at all times the charter-free market value of the vessels that secure the credit facility be no less than 135% of borrowings. Also, DHT covenants that, throughout the term of the credit facility, DHT, on a consolidated basis, shall maintain:

*value adjusted defined as an adjustment to reflect the difference between the carrying amount and the market valuations of the Company’s vessels (as determined quarterly by an approved broker).

The DHT Eagle credit facility contains financial covenants related to the borrower as well as DHT on a consolidated basis. DHT covenants that, throughout the term of the credit agreement, DHT on a consolidated basis shall maintain unencumbered cash of at least $20 million, value adjusted tangible net worth of at least $100 million and value adjusted tangible net worth of no less than 25% of the value adjusted total assets. In October 2015 we prepaid the total outstanding under the DHT Eagle credit facility amounting to $22.9 million.

In April 2013 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, DHT Maritime, Inc., amended its credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland (“RBS”) whereby the minimum value covenant has been removed in its entirety. Furthermore, the installments scheduled to commence in 2016 have been changed from a fixed $9.1 million per quarter to a variable amount equal to free cash flow in the prior quarter – capped at $7.5 million per quarter. Free cash flow is defined as an amount calculated as of the last day of each quarter equal to the positive difference, if any, between: the sum of the earnings of the vessels during the quarter and the sum of ship operating expenses, voyage expenses, estimated capital expenses for the following two quarters, general & administrative expenses, interest expenses and change in working capital. The next scheduled installment would at the earliest take place in Q2 2016. As of September 30, 2015 the total outstanding under the RBS credit facility is $110.4 million with final maturity in July 2017. In April 2013 the Company made a prepayment of $25 million and the margin was increased to 1.75%. DHT Maritime’s financial obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by DHT Holdings, Inc. In connection with the prepayment of the DHT Eagle credit facility in October 2015, we were required to prepay $3.9 million under the RBS facility (a proportionate amount of the RBS facility relative to the Company’s total debt).

In June 2015 we prepaid the total outstanding under the DHT Phoenix credit facility amounting to $17.1 million.

In June 2015 Samco Gamma Ltd and DHT Tiger Limited entered into a credit agreement with Credit Agricole for the financing of the Samco Scandinavia and the newbuilding DHT Tiger expected to be delivered in October 2016.  As of September 30, 2015 the total outstanding under the Credit Agricole credit facility is $37.6 million related to the Samco Scandinavia.  The current outstanding under the credit facility is repayable with 34 quarterly installments of $1.1 million each. The loan bears interest at Libor plus a margin of 2.1875% and includes a covenant that the charter-free value of the vessel shall be at least 135%.  The credit facility is guaranteed by DHT and contains a covenant requiring that at all times the charter-free market value of the vessels that secure the credit facility be no less than 135% of borrowings. Also, DHT covenants that, throughout the term of the credit facility, DHT, on a consolidated basis, shall maintain:

*value adjusted defined as an adjustment to reflect the difference between the carrying amount and the market valuations of the Company’s vessels (as determined quarterly by an approved broker).

 

 

As of the date of our most recent compliance certificates submitted to the banks, we remain in compliance with our financial covenants.

As of September 30, 2015, DHT has five interest rate swaps totaling $188.9 million with maturity ranging from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the second quarter of 2018.  The fixed interest rates range from 2.43% to 3.57%.  As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the derivative financial liability related to the swaps amounted to $8.1 million.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had entered into firm commitments for the debt financing of all six of its newbuildings ordered at HHI. The financing which will be drawn at delivery of the vessels equals about 50% of the contract prices with an average margin above Libor of 2.4%.

Note 6 – Vessels

The carrying values of our vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of constructing new vessels. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values have been cyclical. The carrying amounts of vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment or reversal of prior impairment charges whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel. The Company is of the view that there were no events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel as of September 30, 2015.

Note 7 – Equity and Convertible Bond Offerings

 

Private Placement

Each share of our Series B Participating Preferred Stock that was issued in November 2013 in connection with a private placement was mandatorily converted into 100 shares of our common stock at a 1:100 ratio on February 4, 2014.

 

Registered Direct Offerings

On February 5, 2014 we completed a registered direct offering of 30,300,000 shares generating net proceeds of approximately $215.7 million.

On September 16, 2014 we completed a registered direct offering of 23,076,924 shares generating net proceeds of approximately $144.6 million after the payment of placement agent fees.

Convertible Senior Note Offering

On September 16, 2014 we completed a private placement of $150 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2019 (the "Notes"). DHT will pay interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears. Net proceeds to DHT were approximately $145.9 million after the payment of placement agent fees. The value of the conversion right has been estimated to $21.8 million; hence $21.8 million of the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million has been classified as equity. The Notes will be convertible into common stock of DHT at any time after placement until one business day prior to their maturity. The initial conversion price was $8.125 per share of common stock (equivalent to 18,461,538 shares of common stock), and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. As a result of the cumulative effect of previously announced cash dividends, the conversion price was adjusted to $7.8925 effective May 11, 2015 and to $7.7453 effective August 10, 2015. Based on the adjusted conversion price the total number of shares to be issued would be 19,366,584.

 

 

 

We have concluded that the adjustment of the conversion rate upon the payment of cash dividends does not result in an accounting entry as the liability and equity components of the instrument are not re-measured as a result of the cash dividend. This is based on the fact that we have determined that the Notes are non-derivative financial instruments that contain both liability and equity components. The financial liability is the contractual obligation to make interest and principal payments and the equity component is the right of the holders of the Notes to convert the Notes into a fixed number of the Company’s common shares. In accordance with IAS 32, the liability component was measured first and is recorded at its amortized cost over the life of the instrument. The equity component was assigned the residual amount after deducting the amount separately determined for the liability component. The equity component was recorded as part of additional paid-in capital and is never re-measured.

The determination that the conversion feature is an equity instrument (rather than a derivative liability accounted for under IAS 39) was made on the basis that there is no variability in the number of equity instruments delivered upon conversion (i.e. the exchange meets the “fixed for fixed” requirements set forth under IAS 32). In making the determination, the Company considered that the Notes contain a mechanism whereby the conversion rate of the Notes is adjusted for cash dividends paid by the Company. Although this adjustment results in variability in the number of common shares delivered, the fact that this variability serves to maintain the relative economic rights of the holders of the Notes results in no violation of the “fixed for fixed” requirement.
