GENERAL MARITIME CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.50 Per Share
Achieves Net Income of $23.5 Million
Announces Merger with Arlington Tankers
New York, New York, October 29, 2008 - General Maritime Corporation (NYSE: GMR) today reported its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Financial Review: 2008 Third Quarter
Excluding other income, the Company recorded net income of $22.0 million or $0.76 basic and $0.74 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $6.2 million, or $0.20 basic and $0.20 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Other income, which primarily includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on freight, and bunker derivatives, was $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and $4.8 million for the prior year period. Other income for the quarter ended September 31, 2008 included a $2.6 million unrealized gain associated with the change in fair value of our freight derivatives and a $1.2 million loss associated with the monthly cash settlements of our freight derivatives. Net income was $23.5 million, or $0.81 basic and $0.79 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to net income of $10.9 million, or $0.36 basic and $0.35 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net income was principally the result of higher TCE and utilization rates realized in the current quarter versus the prior year period.
Peter C. Georgiopoulos, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “Our past success increasing the Company’s time charter coverage enabled us to post strong results for the quarter. Drawing upon our contracted revenue stream, we are pleased to have once again met our quarterly dividend target. Including our third quarter dividend of $0.50 per share, we have now declared $26.78 per share in quarterly and one time dividends. Complementing this success, we are pleased to have entered into an agreement to merge with Arlington Tankers which we believe will create significant long-term shareholder value. Specifically, we believe the combination will create a leading tanker company with a large diverse double-hull fleet and a
stronger balance sheet to take advantage of future growth opportunities. We also believe the combined company will have key highlights including a partial dividend payout structure, an initial $2.00 fixed annual dividend target, and approximately $450 million of contracted revenues through 2013.”
Net voyage revenue, which is gross voyage revenues minus voyage expenses unique to a specific voyage (including port, canal and fuel costs), increased 40.2% to $68.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $49.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $44.1 million compared to $31.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 (please see below for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income). Net cash provided by operating activities was $36.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $18.5 million for the prior year period. Currently, the Company has net debt (calculated as total long term debt less cash) of approximately $ 615.0 million.
The average daily time charter equivalent, or TCE, rates obtained by the Company’s fleet increased by 24.8% to $37,651 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared with $30,177 for the prior year period. The Company’s average daily rates for vessels on spot charters increased by 143.5% to $44,425 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $18,246 for the prior year period.
Total vessel operating expenses, which are direct vessel operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, increased by 15.0% to $26.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $22.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. During the same periods, the average size of General Maritime’s fleet increased by 5.0% to 21.0 vessels from 20.0 vessels. Daily direct vessel operating expenses increased 14.0% to $8,122 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to $7,125 for the prior year period. These increases reflect higher crewing and maintenance and repair costs during 2008 compared to 2007. General and administrative costs increased by 4.0% to $10.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to $9.9 million for the prior year period.

(1) EBITDA represents net income plus net interest expense and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as a common performance measure to compare results across peers. Management of the Company uses EBITDA as a performance measure in consolidating monthly internal financial statements and is presented for review at our board meetings. The Company believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as the shipping industry is capital intensive which often brings significant cost of financing. EBITDA is not an item recognized by GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator of a company's operating performance required by GAAP. The definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies. |
(2) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period |
(3) Voyage days for fleet are the total days our vessels were in our possession for the relevant period net of off hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys. |
(4) Calendar days are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period including off hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys. |
(5) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by calendar days for the relevant period. |
(6) Time Charter Equivalent, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing net voyage revenue by voyage days |
(7) Daily direct vessel operating expenses, or DVOE, is calculated by dividing DVOE, which includes crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance and maintenance and repairs, by calendar days for the relevant time period. |
(8) Daily general and administrative expense is calculated by dividing general and administrative expenses by vessel calendar days. |
(9) Total Vessel Operating Expenses, or TVOE, is a measurement of our total expenses associated with operating our vessels. Daily TVOE is the sum of daily direct vessel operating expenses, or DVOE, and daily general and administrative expenses. |
(10) Daily EBITDA is total EBITDA divided by total vessel calendar days. | | | | |
