Ole B. Hjertaker, CEO of Ship Finance Management AS, said in a comment: “Including today’s announced dividend, Ship Finance has made aggregate dividend payments in excess of $23 per share since 2004, and we have remained profitable every quarter from our inception. Our track record and significant industry relationships provide access to a consistent stream of investment opportunities, and we remain committed to continuing to build the Company and return value to our shareholders.
The fleet renewal continues and we have strengthened our balance sheet through amendments to certain loan facilities, the issuance of new unsecured notes in the market and the early conversion of a large portion of our convertible notes. These proactive measures significantly enhance our financial profile, allowing us to intensify our focus on growth.

Business Update
As of
September 30, 2017
, the fixed rate charter backlog from the Company’s fleet of
70
vessels and rigs was approximately
$3.3 billion
, with an average remaining charter term of nearly
5
years, or more than
8
years if weighted by charter revenue. Some of the charters include purchase options which, if exercised, may reduce the fixed rate charter backlog and the average remaining charter term, but will increase capital available for new investments. Additionally, several charters include a profit sharing feature that may increase our operating results.
Tankers
The Company currently owns 15 crude oil, product and chemical tankers, 13 of which are employed on long term charters.
The crude oil tanker market remained at soft levels during the third quarter and the vessels chartered to Frontline Shipping Limited (“Frontline”) did not earn average daily rates sufficient to generate a profit share above the contracted base charter rate of $20,000 per day. The market has improved since the end of the third quarter, but based on guidance provided by Frontline, the recovery may not be sufficient to expect to earn a profit share from these vessels in the fourth quarter.
The average daily time charter equivalent rate of the Company’s two modern Suezmax tankers trading in a pool with two sister vessels owned by Frontline Ltd. was approximately $24,800 during the third quarter, down from $26,900 per day on average in the previous quarter. Three of the four vessels in the pool have been chartered out until late 2017 with a profit share above a floor rate, mitigating a soft spot market during the third quarter.
During the third quarter, the Company sold the 1997-built Suezmax tanker
Front Ardenne
to an unrelated third party. The net sale proceeds were approximately $12 million, including compensation for the early termination of the charter, and Ship Finance recorded a minor book gain from the sale. Following this sale, Ship Finance has nine vessels on long term charter to Frontline, all of which are VLCCs.
Ship Finance took delivery of two 114,000 dwt LR2 newbuilding product tankers in August 2017. Both vessels have commenced long term time charters to Phillips 66, and the total EBITDA
1
contribution from these vessels is estimated to be approximately $11 million per year, with full cash flow effect expected from the fourth quarter.
Offshore
Ship Finance owns five offshore support vessels and four drilling rigs. With the exception of the jack-up rig Soehanah, which is currently employed under a short term charter, all of the Company’s offshore assets are employed on long term charters.
The Company’s drilling rigs generated approximately $49 million in aggregate charter revenues in the third quarter of 2017. Three of the four rigs are chartered out on bareboat charters to fully guaranteed affiliates of Seadrill Limited (“Seadrill”), where Seadrill is responsible for operating and maintenance costs.
As previously announced, Seadrill commenced Chapter 11 proceedings and filed prearranged cases in the Southern District of Texas, U.S in September 2017. According to Seadrill, this is part of a comprehensive restructuring plan entered into with various creditors including Ship Finance, certain third party and related party investors and substantially all their secured lenders on a recapitalization of the company. Seadrill believes the comprehensive restructuring plan will provide them with a five-year runway and a bridge to an industry recovery, facilitated by a $1.06 billion capital injection, extended and re-profiled secured bank debt and debt for equity exchanges, all of which contribute to substantially reducing Seadrill’s financial leverage.
As part of Seadrill’s restructuring plan, Ship Finance has agreed to reduce the contractual charter hire for the three rigs by approximately 29% for a period of five years, beginning January 2018, with the reduced amounts added back in the period thereafter. The term of the leases for
West Hercules
and
West Taurus
will also be extended by 13 months until December 2024. Seadrill will continue to pay full charter hire until the restructuring plan is approved, and net of interest and debt amortization, the contribution from the three rigs was approximately $15.2 million, or $0.16 per share in the third quarter.

‘EBITDA’ is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
2
Concurrently, Ship Finance has agreed with the banks that finance the rigs to extend the loans for a period of four years, starting from the original maturity date of each of the three separate loan facilities, with reduced amortization during the extension period compared to the current level. This extension is subject to approval of the restructuring plan, and the cash flow from the three rigs during the extension period, net of interest and amortization, is estimated to be approximately $29 million per year.
Seadrill has sub chartered the harsh environment jack-up rig
West Linus
to ConocoPhillips until the end of 2028. In June, Seadrill announced that the semi-submersible rig West Hercules, which has been idle, has been awarded a short term sub-charter in the North Sea, with expected start up in April 2018. The semi-submersible rig West Taurus is currently in layup in Spain.
The 2007-built drilling rig
Soehanah
, is now employed under a one-year drilling contract with a national oil company in Asia until June 2018, with an option to extend the charter until June 2019. The rig is debt free, and the EBITDA contribution from the charter is approximately $0.9 million per quarter.
Liner
Ship Finance has a fleet of 22 container vessels and two car carriers. With the exception of one smaller 1,700 TEU container vessel, all container vessels are employed on long term charters.
The container market has strengthened during 2017, and most of the operators announced positive results in the third quarter. With a more robust underlying market and increased margins for the operators, there is higher activity in the chartering market, both for modern eco-type vessels, and also for older vessels trading in the short term market.
The Company recently agreed to new charters for the two car carriers,
Glovis Conductor
and
Glovis Composer
, until mid 2018. The base charter rate for this period is lower than the level in the previous charter period, and the EBITDA contribution from the two vessels is estimated to be approximately $1.1 million per quarter during this period.
Dry Bulk
The Company owns 22 dry bulk vessels, 15 of which are employed on long term charters and seven of which trade in the spot market.
The Company has the potential to generate additional revenues through the profit share agreement for eight Capesize vessels on long term charter to Golden Ocean Group Limited. There was no profit share recorded in the third quarter, but market rates in the dry bulk sector have improved over the last few months, and the Capesize spot market is now above the profit share threshold according to broker reports.
Our dry bulk vessels trading in the spot market are all Handysize vessels between 32,000 and 34,000 dwt. These vessels earned average time charter equivalent rates of approximately $6,700 per trading day in the third quarter. With the recent strengthening in the dry bulk market, we expect average daily rates from these vessels to increase in the fourth quarter. The Company intends to continue trading these vessels in the spot market until long term rates improve.
Financing and Capital Expenditure
As of
September 30, 2017
, Ship Finance had approximately
$254 million
of available liquidity
2
, including approximately
$248 million
in cash. In addition, the Company had marketable securities of approximately $116 million, based on prevailing market prices at quarter end. These include 11 million shares in Frontline Ltd. and financial investments in senior secured bonds and other securities.
In June, Ship Finance successfully placed a NOK 500 million senior unsecured bond in the Scandinavian credit market with an interest rate of NIBOR + 4.75% per annum and maturity in June 2020. During the quarter, the Company entered into hedge instruments whereby the bond was swapped to approximately $64 million with an average fixed interest rate of 6.9% per annum. The proceeds were used to part refinance the NOK 600 million bonds originally due in October.

‘EBITDA’ is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced that it had entered into separate agreements with certain holders of its 3.25% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) to convert a portion of the outstanding Notes as a proactive measure to further strengthen the Company’s balance sheet. Approximately $121 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes were converted into common shares of the Company at prevailing market prices. The number of shares economically
3
outstanding following these conversions is approximately 102.9 million.
Strategy and Outlook
The long term strategy of the Company is to continue building our distribution capacity on the back of an asset portfolio consisting of high quality vessels and strong counterparties. Since the start of 2017, Ship Finance has proactively taken a series of steps to significantly strengthen its balance sheet and position the Company to pursue growth opportunities.
Through our long term business relations, we believe we have premium access to deal flow in our core business areas, and the Company has significant investment capacity available for new accretive deal opportunities.
Investing in cyclical markets requires discipline, both in terms of market timing and in the manner in which transactions are structured. Our approach is dynamic and focused on minimizing downside risk while maximizing revenues to support our distribution capacity. The near term focus will mainly be on the tanker, bulker and container markets, and we have significant flexibility in the structuring of new deals.
Accounting Items
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), subsidiaries owning the drilling units
West Hercules
,
West Taurus
and
West Linus
have been accounted for as ‘investment in associates’ 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 to be the ‘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 ‘Results in associates’.
In Ship Finance’s consolidated balance sheet, the net investments are shown as a combination of ‘Investment in associates’ 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 a webcast at our website at www.shipfinance.bm.
2 ‘
Available liquidity’ includes cash and cash equivalents, plus freely available undrawn revolving credit facilities in consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries.
3
Excludes 8 million shares issued by Ship Finance as part of a share lending arrangement in connection with the Company's offering of the 2021 Notes.

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.
