TEN, Ltd (TEN) (NYSE: TNP) (the “Company”) today reported results
(unaudited) for the quarter and half-year ended June 30, 2019.
SIX MONTHS 2019 SUMMARY
RESULTS TEN earned gross revenues of $291
million, 17% higher from the same period in 2018 and net income of
$11.5 million compared to a loss of $21.5 million in the first six
months of 2018, a $33 million positive swing.
Operating income totaled $46.8 million, a near
five-fold increase over the equivalent period in 2018 while
adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization) climbed to $120 million, 43% higher than in the first
six months of 2018.
The daily time charter equivalent rate per
vessel was $20,418, a 17% increase over the equivalent 2018 period
and substantially higher than the average spot market rates for the
period.
Total operating costs decreased by over 3%.
Depreciation and dry-docking amortization costs were also reduced
by $2.9 million.
General and administrative expenses decreased by
$0.4 million or 3% from the same period in 2018. Daily overhead
cost per vessel remained again at competitive levels at $1,142.
Vessel operating expenses decreased by 2.5% from
the 2018 six months period due to proactive and efficient
management operations conducted by TCM, our technical managers,
while daily operating expenses per vessel remained well under
$7,800. Most other expense categories (management fees and G&A)
remained relatively stable as a result of effective cost
controls.
Finance costs increased by $6.1 million mainly
due to bunker hedge losses, but interest rate increases were
partially offset by the reduction in total outstanding debt by $142
million since the end of the 2018 second quarter.
During the first six months of 2019, TEN
continued its stated policy of expanding its strategic alliances by
adding four new vessels with long term employment to a major US end
user and two vessels to its existing joint venture with a South
American entity.
Q2 2019 SUMMARY RESULTSTEN
earned a net income of $0.3 million, a $10 million improvement from
the $9.6 million loss in the second quarter of 2018, despite the
market softness which followed a strong first quarter, due to
continued refinery maintenance, high inventories, excess vessel
capacity and oil production cuts.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $55.8 million, 32%
higher than in the 2018 second quarter, helping to boost our cash
reserves, which stood at $193 million at the end of June 2019.
Operating income amounted to $19.0 million, a
five-fold increase for the operating income of the second quarter
of 2018.
TEN’s ability to smooth the market’s cyclicality
was again demonstrated by strong fleet utilization of 96.6%
generating gross revenues of $144 million during the second
quarter, 16% higher than in the second quarter of 2018. $90 million
of this revenue, was from time-charter hire, including profit
shares, which covered the cash costs of TEN.
The two LNG carriers, which both enjoyed
significant increases in rates since the prior second quarter
provided an additional $4.3 million more than in the second quarter
of 2018.
Revenues from vessels on spot were $21 million
higher. Spot rates achieved by TEN’s vessels were on average 30%
higher than those achieved by the same vessels in the equivalent
period of 2018.
Finance costs increased by $6.5 million. Loan
interest remained at about the same as in the 2018 second quarter
with rate increases being offset by the reduction in outstanding
debt by $142 million since June 30, 2018. Compared to last year’s
second quarter, bunker hedge gains fell by $2.5 million and
negative movements in the value of bunker hedges amounted to a
non-cash of $4.8 million.
LNG EXPANSIONTEN proceeded with
the order of one-option-one 174,000cbm LNG carrier from Hyundai
Heavy Industries in South Korea with expected delivery in the
second half of 2021. With this order, the Company’s LNG proforma
fleet rises to four vessels, two of which are employed on
time-chartered contracts with major international natural gas
production and trading entities.
TEN continues its stated policy of maintaining a
diversified energy fleet with a focus on LNG as an area of growth.
Management expects more accretive investments in the sector as that
develops.
CORPORATE STRATEGY &
OUTLLOOKAs we exit the seasonally soft part of the cycle,
a confluence of positive events including increased US crude oil
exports that lead to increases in ton-mile demand and ultimately
reductions in vessel supply, the impact of the IMO 2020 regulations
which should facilitate an accelerated departure of older tonnage
from the competitive fleet and the historically low orderbook as
well as the impact of refineries returning from maintenance, create
the springboard for a healthy market going forward. Management is
positioning the fleet to take advantage of this upturn by having
adequate appropriate vessels in the spot market, which together
with those on profit sharing arrangements could provide additional
revenue upside for TEN, whose primary model of having enough
vessels on secured revenue contracts to cover the entire fleet’s
expenses remains intact.
TEN’s chartering policy enabled the Company to
outperform by 38% the spot market and maintain its profitability
and therefore making it one of the few companies in its peer group
with profits during such a challenging period.
On the growth front, the Company’s newbuilding
program progresses as planned. The first of two aframaxes on
long-term contracts to a major US end user is expected to be
delivered in October 2019, with the second in January 2020.
Expanding TEN’s presence in the developing natural gas sector,
management signed a contract for the construction of an additional
LNG carrier with an option for one more at competitive prices.
“With gross fleet revenues up $41 million higher
than the end of the second quarter last year, with an equivalent
number of vessels, we feel confident that the market is on its way
to a healthy recovery and comfortable that our fleet has the
capacity to capture market upturns as they develop,” Mr. George
Saroglou, COO of TEN commented. “TEN is well prepared to take
advantage of the positive fundamentals as they unfold and expects
such momentum to be translated in increased profits and eventually
in a higher share price,” Mr. Saroglou concluded.

The Company
reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes
that certain non-GAAP measures used within the financial
community may provide users of this financial information
additional meaningful comparisons between current results and
results in prior operating periods as well as comparisons between
the performance of Shipping Companies. Management also uses these
non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and
planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. We
are using the following Non-GAAP measures: |
|
(i) TCE which
represents voyage revenues less voyage expenses is divided by the
number of operating days less 124 days lost for the second quarter
of 2019 and 214 for the first half of 2019 as a result of
calculating revenue on a loading to discharge basis compared to 104
for the second quarter and 188 for the first half of 2018. |
|
(ii) Vessel
overhead costs are General & Administrative expenses, which
also include Management fees, Stock compensation expense and
Management incentive award. |
|
(iii) Operating
expenses per ship per day which exclude Management fees, General
& Administrative expenses, Stock compensation expense and
Management incentive award. |
|
(iv) EBITDA. See
above for reconciliation to net income (loss). |
|
Non-GAAP
financial measures should be viewed in addition to and not as an
alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in
accordance with GAAP. |
