Exhibit 99.1

 

GasLog Ltd. Reports Financial Results for the Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 2023

 

Hamilton, Bermuda, February 15, 2024, GasLog Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“GasLog”, “Group” or “Company”) (NYSE: GLOG-PA), an international owner, operator and manager of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) carriers, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

 

Recent Developments

 

Partial Redemption of GasLog’s 8.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares (“Series A Preference Shares”)

 

On December 28, 2023, GasLog completed the redemption of 4,341,681 of its outstanding Series A Preference Shares (the “Partial Redemption”) held by shareholders of record as of November 27, 2023, pursuant to that certain Certificate of Designations, dated as of March 30, 2015 (the “Certificate of Designations”). The redemption price of the Series A Preference Shares was $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends in respect of the Series A Preference Shares up to, but not including the redemption date of December 28, 2023. The Company funded the Partial Redemption with proceeds of borrowings under its existing $2.8 billion Five-Year Sustainability-Linked Senior Secured Reducing Revolving Credit Facility (see below).

 

The Series A Preference Shares redeemed in connection with the Partial Redemption are no longer outstanding and all rights with respect to such stock have ceased and terminated. The Series A Preference Shares not redeemed in connection with the Partial Redemption remain issued and outstanding and subject to all the terms provided in the Certificate of Designations.

 

Before the Partial Redemption, on August 2, 2023, the board of directors of GasLog had approved a preference share repurchase programme of up to $35.0 million of Series A Preference Shares, effective immediately. Since the inception of the repurchase programme and prior to the Partial Redemption, GasLog had repurchased an aggregate of 58,319 Series A Preference Shares at a weighted average price of $24.64 per preference share, for a total amount of $1.4 million, including commissions.

 

New Charter Agreements

 

During the fourth quarter of 2023, GasLog extended by five years the time charter agreement of the GasLog Singapore, a tri-fuel diesel electric engine propulsion (“TFDE”) LNG carrier, with New Fortress Energy Transport Partners LLC (“NFE Transport Partners LLC”), with the contract now due to expire in 2030. In addition, GasLog Partners LP (“GasLog Partners” or the “Partnership”) signed a multi-year time charter agreement for the GasLog Santiago, a TFDE LNG carrier, with a major energy exploration company and extended by one year the time charter agreement of the Methane Jane Elizabeth, a steam turbine propulsion (“Steam”) LNG carrier, with Cheniere Marketing International LLP, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere”), with the contract now due to expire in 2025.

 

New $2.8 Billion Five-year Sustainability-linked Senior Secured Reducing Revolving Credit Facility

 

On November 2, 2023, GasLog, signed a new Five-Year Sustainability-Linked Senior Secured Reducing Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $2.8 billion (the “Facility”). This financing, involving 14 international banks, includes decarbonization and social key performance targets as a component of the Facility pricing. The Facility refinanced the outstanding debt of $2.1 billion secured by 23 LNG carriers across both GasLog and GasLog Partners, following the acquisition (the “Transaction”) by GasLog on July 13, 2023 of all the outstanding common units of GasLog Partners not already beneficially owned by GasLog. The 23 LNG carriers (12 GasLog vessels and 11 GasLog Partners vessels) included in the Facility comprise ten dual-fuel two-stroke engine propulsion (“X-DF”) LNG carriers, ten TFDE LNG carriers and three Steam LNG carriers. The Facility has a five-year tenor, includes two one-year extension options and simplifies GasLog’s debt structure, providing incremental available liquidity to the Company while reducing interest cost and debt service requirements. Citibank, N.A., London Branch and BNP Paribas acted as joint coordinators on the Facility. DNB Bank ASA, London Branch has been appointed as agent and security agent and ABN AMRO BANK N.V. as sustainability co-ordinator. Alpha Bank S.A., Credit Suisse AG, a UBS Group Company, Danish Ship Finance A/S, ING Bank N.V., London Branch, National Bank of Greece S.A., Nordea Bank ABP, Filial I Norge, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited, DNB (UK) Limited and Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited acted as bookrunners and mandated lead arrangers alongside the coordinators, the agent and the sustainability co-ordinator. National Australia Bank Limited and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (Publ) were mandated lead arrangers. On November 13, 2023, the amount of $2.1 billion was drawn with $672.0 million remaining available as of that date, for general corporate purposes. On December 22, 2023, an additional amount of $129.5 million was drawn to fund the Partial Redemption discussed above.

 

Dividend Declarations

 

On February 14, 2024, the board of directors of GasLog declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share of GasLog to GasLog’s shareholders of record as of February 15, 2024.

Quarterly Financial Results

 

Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars   For the three months ended  
    December 31,
2022
    December 31,
2023
 
Revenues   $ 244,847     $ 229,948  
Profit for the period   $ 68,703     $ 31,436  
Adjusted EBITDA1   $ 190,750     $ 178,648  
Adjusted Profit1   $ 75,569     $ 53,270  

 1 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be used in isolation or as substitutes for GasLog’s financial results presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). For the definitions and reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, please refer to Exhibit II at the end of this press release.

 

There were 2,944 available days for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as compared to 3,105 available days for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Available days represent total calendar days in the period after deducting off-hire days where vessels are undergoing dry-dockings and unavailable days (for example, days before and after a dry-docking where the vessel has limited practical ability for chartering opportunities). The decrease in available days was attributable to the Floating Storage Regasification Unit (“FSRU”) conversion of the Alexandroupolis that started in February 2023 and the sale of the GasLog Athens in July 2023, partially offset by the decrease in off-hire days for scheduled dry-dockings and repairs (23 dry-docking off-hire days in the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, compared to nil dry-docking off-hire days in the three-month period ended December 31, 2023).

 

Revenues were $229.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 ($244.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022). The decrease in revenues is mainly attributable to the decrease in available days explained above and the net decrease in revenues from our vessels operating in the spot and short-term markets in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Profit for the period was $31.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 ($68.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022). The decrease in profit is mainly attributable to the increase of $34.0 million in financial costs, which includes an increase of $27.0 million of write-off of unamortized loan fees due to the Facility refinancing.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $178.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 ($190.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022). The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is mainly attributable to the decrease in revenues of $14.9 million, as discussed above, partially offset by the decrease of $1.5 million in general and administrative expenses and the decrease of $1.2 million in vessel operating and supervision costs.

 

Adjusted Profit was $53.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 ($75.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022). The decrease in Adjusted Profit is mainly attributable to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and the increase in financial costs, as a result of the increase in interest rates in the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

 

As of December 31, 2023, GasLog had $221.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. An additional amount of $10.0 million of time deposits with an original duration greater than three months was classified under short-term cash deposits.

 

As of December 31, 2023, GasLog had an aggregate of $3.1 billion of indebtedness outstanding under its credit facilities and bond agreements, of which $107.9 million is repayable within one year. Current bank borrowings include an amount of $88.3 million with respect to the Norwegian Kroner (“NOK”) bond maturing in 2024 (the “NOK 2024 Bonds”). As of December 31, 2023, GasLog had $542.5 million available under the Facility. Subsequently, in January 2024, GasLog prepaid $49.0 million of the outstanding Facility increasing the availability of the Facility to $591.5 million. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2023, GasLog also had an aggregate of $383.4 million of lease liabilities, of which $71.0 million is payable within one year.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the total remaining balance of the contract prices of the four LNG carriers on order was $576.7 million, of which $330.5 million is due within 12 months and will be funded by the four sale and leaseback agreements entered into on July 6, 2022 with CMB Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“CMBFL”).

 

As of December 31, 2023, GasLog’s current assets totaled $560.4 million, while current liabilities totaled $622.5 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $62.1 million. Current liabilities include $88.3 million relating to the NOK 2024 Bonds which mature in November 2024 (actual amount owed by GasLog in connection with such maturity is expected to be $98.6 million based on the notional amount, as of December 31, 2023, of the cross currency swaps used to hedge exposure under the NOK 2024 Bonds) and $66.4 million of unearned revenue in relation to hires received in advance of December 31, 2023 (which represents a non-cash liability that will be recognized as revenue in January 2024 as the services are rendered).

 

Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position throughout the year to ensure that it has access to sufficient funds to meet its forecast cash requirements, including newbuilding and debt service commitments, and to monitor compliance with the financial covenants within its loan and bond facilities. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for at least twelve months from the date of this report will be available cash, cash from operations, undrawn amounts under our existing facilities, future borrowings and future sale and leaseback transactions. We believe that these anticipated sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs and to comply with our financial covenants for at least twelve months from the date of this report and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit

 

EBITDA is defined as earnings before depreciation, amortization, financial income and costs, gain/loss on derivatives and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before foreign exchange gains/losses, impairment loss, gain/loss on disposal of non-current assets, restructuring costs and the costs relating to the 2021 take-private transaction with BlackRock’s Global Energy & Power Infrastructure team and the Transaction (collectively such costs, the “Transaction Costs”). Adjusted Profit represents earnings before write-off and accelerated amortization of unamortized loan fees/bond fees and premium/discount, foreign exchange gains/losses, unrealized foreign exchange losses on cash and bond, impairment loss, swap optimization costs (with respect to cash collateral amendments), gain/loss on disposal of non-current assets, restructuring costs, Transaction Costs and non-cash gain/loss on derivatives that includes (if any) (a) unrealized gain/loss on derivative financial instruments held for trading, (b) recycled loss of cash flow hedges reclassified to profit or loss and (c) ineffective portion of cash flow hedges. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. We believe that including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit assists our management and investors in (i) understanding and analyzing the results of our operating and business performance, (ii) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (iii) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to purchase and/or to continue to hold our common shares. This is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, financial costs, gain/loss on derivatives, taxes, depreciation and amortization; in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, foreign exchange gains/losses, impairment loss, gain/loss on disposal of non-current assets, restructuring costs and Transaction Costs; and in the case of Adjusted Profit, write-off and accelerated amortization of unamortized loan/bond fees and premium/discount, foreign exchange gains/losses, unrealized foreign exchange losses on cash and bond, impairment loss, swap optimization costs (with respect to cash collateral amendments), gain/loss on disposal of non-current assets, restructuring costs, Transaction Costs and non-cash gain/loss on derivatives, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, financial market conditions, capital structure and historical cost basis, and which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods.

 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior to, profit, profit from operations, or any other measure of operating performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Some of these limitations include the fact that they do not reflect (i) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs and (iii) the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows and other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the excluded items. Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in the shipping or other industries.
