Exhibit 99.1
Third quarter report 2013 |
|
"The results for the third quarter of 2013 were in line with our expectations as TORM continued to benefit from improving market fundamentals and a strong operational platform. Our long-term view of the product tanker market remains positive. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2013 was USD 71 million, which was an improvement of USD 112 million compared to last year," says CEO Jacob Meldgaard. TORM realized a positive EBITDA of USD 11 million and a loss before tax of USD 40 million in the third quarter of 2013. |
· | EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 was a gain of USD 11m (Q3 2012: USD -11m). The result before tax for the third quarter of 2013 was a loss of USD 40m (USD -78m). Cash flow from operating activities after interest payments was positive with USD 9m in the third quarter of 2013 (USD 6m). |
· | In the third quarter of 2013, the product tanker freight rates were at seasonally low levels although the product tanker segment benefitted from stronger market fundamentals compared to the same period of 2012. TORM's largest segment, MRs, achieved spot rates of USD/day 14,585 in the third quarter of 2013, which is up 37% year-on-year. The Tanker Division reported an EBITDA of USD 22m in the third quarter of 2013 (USD -8m). |
· | The freight rates for the relevant bulk segments stayed at depressed levels until the end of the third quarter of 2013, where the seasonal restocking of especially iron ore in China commenced. TORM's largest segment, Panamax, achieved TCE-earnings of USD/day 8,128, which is at par with the second quarter of 2013. The Bulk Division reported an EBITDA in the third quarter of 2013 of USD -11m (USD -3m). |
· | The book value of the fleet was USD 1,880m as of 30 September 2013. Based on broker valuations, TORM's fleet had a market value of USD 1,207m as of 30 September 2013. In accordance with IFRS, TORM estimates the product tanker fleet's total long-term earning potential each quarter based on discounted future cash flow. The estimated value of the fleet as of 30 September 2013 supports the carrying amount. |
· | Net interest-bearing debt amounted to USD 1,725m as at 30 September 2013, compared to USD 1,852m as at 30 June 2013. The decrease in the third quarter of 2013 is primarily a result of repayment of debt in connection with the delivery of the five vessels held for sale. |
· | As of 30 September 2013, TORM's available liquidity was USD 99m consisting of USD 31m in cash and USD 68m in undrawn credit facilities. There are no newbuildings on order or CAPEX commitments related hereto. |
· | Equity amounted to USD 190m as at 30 September 2013, equivalent to USD 0.3 per share (excluding treasury shares), giving TORM an equity ratio of 9%. |
· | By 30 September 2013, TORM had covered 20% of the tanker earning days in the fourth quarter of 2013 at USD/day 14,003 and 3% of the earning days in 2014 at USD/day 15,708. 55% of the bulk earning days in the fourth quarter of 2013 were covered at USD/day 11,558 and 12% of the 2014 earning days at USD/day 18,140. |
· | For the full year 2013, TORM has narrowed the forecasts to a positive EBITDA of USD 90-100m and a loss before tax of USD 110-120m. The forecasts are before any potential further vessel sales or impairment charges. TORM expects to remain in compliance with the financial covenants for 2013. In addition, TORM expects to be operational cash flow positive after all interest payments. As at 30 September 2013, 5,025 earning days for the fourth quarter of 2013 were unfixed meaning that a change in freight rates of USD/day 1,000 will impact the profit before tax by USD 5m. |

Announcement no. 16 / 5 November 2013 | Third quarter report 2013 | 5 of 244 |
|

In the third quarter of 2013, the product tanker freight rates were at seasonally low levels although the product tanker segment benefitted from stronger market fundamentals due to consumer-driven economic growth and the changing global refinery landscape.
In the West, the MR activity was stronger than expected driven by US exports of refined oil products. For instance, US refineries captured up to a record high 20% of the gasoline imports into West Africa during the third quarter of 2013. This has supported the demand for product tankers as it offers a longer ton-mile compared to the traditional trade from European refineries. In September, the US exports uniquely caused the freight rates for the traditional backhaul route with diesel from the US Gulf to Europe to be higher than for the fronthaul gasoline route from Europe to the US East Coast.
In the East, the LR market was initially negatively impacted by weak naphtha demand and continued clean-up of LR2 vessels from crude oil trades, thereby increasing available tonnage. In the third half of the quarter, LR freight rates improved due to increased activity in the Middle East and North Asia as well as arbitrage opportunities to Europe as a result of refinery maintenance and low refining margins. The MRs were affected by the traditionally low activity in the third quarter of 2013 and did not capitalize on the upturn to the same extent.
The global product tanker fleet (above 25,000 dwt) grew by 0.6% in the third quarter of 2013 (source: TORM).
The Tanker Division was well positioned to take advantage of the positive market sentiments. The LR2 spot rates were USD/day 11,350 in the third quarter of 2013, 16% lower than in the same period last year. The LR1 spot rates were at USD/day 15,282, up by 13% year-on-year, and TORM's largest segment (MR) was at USD/day 14,585, up by 37% year-on-year. The Handysize spot rates were at USD/day 11,389, up by 1% year-on-year.
The Tanker Division's operating loss for the third quarter of 2013 was USD 9m (USD -42m). There were mark-to-market effects of USD 0m.

The freight rates for the relevant bulk segments stayed at depressed levels until the end of the third quarter of 2013, where the seasonal restocking of especially iron ore in China commenced.
In the Atlantic spot market, the Panamax freight rates for round voyages fluctuated between USD/day 5,000 and USD/day 9,000 in July and August 2013. The month of September marked a seasonal turn-around with a rally in Capesize freight rates from USD/day 12-14,000 to approx. USD/day 40,000 driven by restocking of commodities. This had a positive spill-over effect on Panamax, and with the start of the US Gulf grain season freight rates increased to approx. USD/day 14,000. The Handymax market followed a similar pattern, although with a time lag.
The Pacific spot market remained slow in July and August 2013 with round voyages for Panamax continuing to hover around USD/day 5-6,000. In addition, there was low period charter activity as owners demanded a premium in anticipation of a stronger fourth quarter of 2013. As expected the market rebounded in late September.
The global bulk fleet grew by 1.0% in the third quarter of 2013 (source: TORM).
TORM’s Panamax time charter equivalent (TCE) earnings in the third quarter of 2013 were USD/day 8,128 or 25% below the same period in 2012. The realized TCE earnings for Handymax during the third quarter of 2013 were USD/day 11,959, which is 21% higher than in the same period of 2012.
The Bulk Division’s operating loss for the third quarter of 2013 was USD 12m (USD -4m). Unrealized non-cash mark-to-market effects were USD 0m in the third quarter of 2013 (USD 4m). The results for the third quarter of 2013 are negatively impacted by a write-down of USD 5m concerning freight receivables relating to primarily one customer (USD 0m). According to plan, TORM reduced its bulk activities during the third quarter of 2013 from 32 vessels to 19 vessels. Going forward, TORM will continue to operate the existing core fleet of approximately ten vessels.

As stated in company announcement no. 8 dated 22 April 2013, TORM has sold five MR product tankers to entities controlled by Oaktree Capital Management (Oaktree). Oaktree has placed the five vessels under TORM's commercial management in a revenue sharing scheme and utilizes TORM's integrated operating platform for technical management. TORM retains an upside potential through a profit split mechanism if Oaktree generates a return above a specified threshold. The five vessels were delivered to Oaktree during the third quarter of 2013.
As of 30 September 2013, TORM's owned fleet consists of 60 product tankers and two dry bulk vessels. TORM has no newbuilding order book and therefore no CAPEX commitments related hereto.
TORM's operated fleet as at 30 September 2013 is shown in the table below. In addition to the 62 owned vessels, TORM had chartered-in five product tankers and seven bulk vessels on longer time charter contracts (minimum one year contracts) and 10 bulk vessels on shorter time charter contracts (less than one year contracts). Another 25 product tankers were either in pool or under commercial management with TORM.

Notes on the financial reporting
| The interim report for the period 1 January – 30 September 2013 is presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies. The interim report has been prepared using the accounting policies as for the Annual Report for 2012. The accounting policies are described in more detail in the Annual Report for 2012. The interim report for the first nine months of 2013 is unaudited, in line with the normal practice. |
| The gross profit for the third quarter of 2013 was USD 25m (USD 3m). Administrative costs in the third quarter of 2013 were sustained at USD 14m (USD 15m) as a result of the Company’s cost program. The result before depreciation (EBITDA) for the third quarter of 2013 was a gain of USD 11m (USD -11m). Depreciation in the third quarter of 2013 was USD 32m (USD 35m) primarily due to fewer owned vessel than in the previous year. The primary operating result (EBIT) for the third quarter of 2013 was a loss of USD 21m (USD -46m). The third quarter of 2013 had mark-to-market non-cash adjustments of USD 0m (USD 6m). The third quarter of 2013 had financial expenses of USD 19m (USD 33m incl. extraordinary restructuring costs of USD 15m). The result after tax was a loss of USD 40m in the third quarter of 2013 (USD -79m). |
| Total assets were down from USD 2,355m as at 31 December 2012 to USD 2,103m as at 30 September 2013. The book value of the fleet was USD 1,880m as of 30 September 2013. Based on broker valuations, TORM's fleet had a market value of USD 1,207m as of 30 September 2013. The broker valuations have increased by USD 39m during the third quarter of 2013. TORM estimates the product tanker fleet's total long-term earning potential each quarter based on future discounted cash flow in accordance with IFRS requirements. The estimated value of the fleet as at 30 September 2013 supports the book value. |
| Net interest-bearing debt was USD 1,725m as at 30 September 2013, compared to USD 1,852m as at 30 June 2013. The decrease in the third quarter of 2013 is primarily a result of repayment of debt in connection with the delivery of the five vessels held for sale. As at 30 September 2013, TORM was in compliance with its financial covenants. TORM expects to remain in compliance with the financial covenants for 2013. |

Note 1 - Impairment test
As at 30 September 2013, Management performed a review of the recoverable amount of the assets by assessing the recoverable amount for the significant assets within the Tanker Division and the Bulk Division.
Based on the review, Management concluded that:
· | Assets within the Bulk Division were not impaired as the fair value less costs to sell equal the carrying amount. |
· | Assets within the Tanker Division were not further impaired as of 30 September 2013 as the value in use exceeds the carrying amount. |
· | To maintain the impairment of the investment in FR8 recognized in previous years. |
Tanker division
The methodology used for calculating the value in use is unchanged compared to the annual report for 2012 and accordingly the freight rate estimates in the period 2013 to 2015 are based on the Company's business plans, which in 2014 and 2015 assume a gradual increase towards the 10-year historic average spot freight rate. Beyond 2015, the freight rates are based on the 10-year historic average freight rates from Clarksons adjusted by the inflation rate.
The WACC of 8.7% (30 September 2012: 8.0%).
The 10-year historic average spot freight rates as of 30 September 2013 are as follows:
· | LR2 USD/day 25,692 (30 September 2012: USD/day 26,709) |
· | LR1 USD/day 22,004 (30 September 2012: USD/day 22,493) |
· | MR USD/day 19,307 (30 September 2012: USD/day 19,892) |
Management believes that these major assumptions are reasonable.
The calculation of value in use is very sensitive to changes in the key assumptions which are considered to be related to the future development in freight rates, the WACC applied as discounting factor in the calculations and the development in operating expenses. The sensitivities have been assessed as follows, all other things being equal:
· | A decrease in the Tanker freight rates of USD/day 1,000 would result in an impairment of USD 190 million for the Tanker Division. |
· | An increase of the WACC of 1.0% would result in an impairment of USD 128 million for the Tanker Division. |
· | An increase of the operating expenses of 10.0% would result in an impairment of USD 153 million for the Tanker Division. |
As outlined above, the impairment tests have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate its vessels as a fleet in the current set-up. In comparison, the market value of TORM's vessels was USD 1,207 million (excluding product tankers held for sale), which is USD 673 million less than the carrying impaired amount.

The uncertainties and sensitivities about freight rates and asset prices may have an effect on the Company’s compliance with the financial covenants. | |
