CEO Statement
Mr. Andrew Orekar, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are pleased to report another quarter of strong financial results for GasLog Partners. Revenue, EBITDA, and distributable cash flow were in line with our expectations and include the impact ofMethane Rita Andrea’s scheduled drydocking. The Partnership has no additional scheduled drydockings until 2018.
For the second quarter, GasLog Partners has declared a cash distribution of $0.478 per unit, which is unchanged from the first quarter of 2016 and represents a 13% compound annual growth rate since the Partnership’s initial public offering. Our cash distribution is supported by stable cash flows from multi-year charters with fixed-fee revenues. We remain committed to paying our distribution, and we have reduced indebtedness by approximately $66 million since our 2015 dropdown transaction to increase our capacity to fund growth.
On July 11, 2016, our general partner sponsor (the “GP sponsor”), GasLog Ltd. (“GasLog”), announced a new seven year time charter with Total Gas & Power Chartering Limited (“Total”) for Hull No. 2801, which is scheduled to be delivered in 2018. GasLog Partners has rights to acquire this vessel pursuant to the omnibus agreement with GasLog, and this successful charter increases the Partnership’s potential dropdown pipeline from twelve to thirteen vessels.
With a growing dropdown pipeline, diverse financing alternatives and a supportive GP sponsor, GasLog Partners remains well positioned to deliver predictable and growing cash distributions to our unitholders.”

| (1) | “Partnership Performance Results” represent the results attributable to GasLog Partners. Such results are non-GAAP measures and exclude amounts related to vessels currently owned by the Partnership for the periods prior to their respective transfer to GasLog Partners from GasLog, as the Partnership is not entitled to the cash or results generated in the periods prior to such transfers. Such results are included in the GasLog Partners’ results in accordance with IFRS because the transfer of the vessel owning entities by GasLog to the Partnership represented a reorganization of entities under common control and the Partnership’s policy is to reflect such transfers retroactively under IFRS. GasLog Partners believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding the financial and operating performance of the Partnership necessary to understand the underlying basis for the calculations of the quarterly distribution and the earnings per unit, which similarly exclude the results of vessels prior to their transfer to the Partnership. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent GAAP measures presented in accordance with IFRS, but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS Common Control Reported Results. For definitions and reconciliations of these measurements to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with IFRS, please refer to Exhibits II and III at the end of this press release. |
The year-on-year increases in the Partnership Performance Results in the second quarter are mainly attributable to the additional vessel operating days in our fleet resulting from the acquisition of theMethane Alison Victoria, theMethane Shirley Elisabeth and theMethane Heather Sally on July 1, 2015 from GasLog.
The Partnership Performance Results reported in the first and second quarters of 2016 are the same as the IFRS Common Control Reported Results for the respective periods since there were no vessel acquisitions from GasLog during the last two quarters, which would have resulted in retrospective adjustment of the historical financial statements.
Cash Distribution
On July 27, 2016, the board of directors of GasLog Partners approved and declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.478 per unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The cash distribution is payable on August 12, 2016, to all unitholders of record as of August 8, 2016.
Liquidity and Financing
As of June 30, 2016, we had $59.70 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $44.70 million is held in current accounts and $15.0 million is held in time deposits.
As of June 30, 2016, we had an aggregate of $727.99 million of indebtedness outstanding under our credit facilities. An amount of $45.57 million of outstanding debt is repayable within one year, including $5.0 million outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility with GasLog.
On April 5, 2016, $216.86 million and $89.87 million under the senior and junior tranche, respectively, of the credit agreements that the Partnership and GasLog entered into on February 18, 2016, were drawn by the Partnership to refinance $305.50 million of the outstanding debt of GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd. and GAS-twenty one Ltd. The amounts drawn under the senior tranche facility shall be repaid in 20 quarterly equal installments commencing three months after the drawdown date. The amounts drawn under the junior tranche facility shall be repaid in full 24 months after the drawdown date. Amounts drawn bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin (variable margin for the junior tranche).
As of June 30, 2016, our current assets totaled $67.62 million and current liabilities totaled $72.49 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $4.87 million. Current liabilities include $17.37 million of time charter hires received in advance that are classified as liabilities until such time as the criteria for recognizing the revenue as earned are met.
We anticipate that cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, including our working capital requirements, and to make the required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness during the next 12 months.
Depending on market conditions, we may use derivative financial instruments to reduce the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates. We expect over time to economically hedge a material proportion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by entering into new interest rate swap contracts. As of June 30, 2016, the Partnership had no interest rate swaps.
LNG Market Update and Outlook
Our demand outlook for LNG carriers with long-term charters remains positive. On July 11, 2016, GasLog announced a new seven-year time charter with Total at a rate that is consistent with GasLog’s long-term charter rates, demonstrating the resilience of long-term rates against the volatility of the shorter-term market. We continue to see a number of tenders for multi-year charters for vessels, which will be used to transport volumes from new liquefaction facilities coming online over the coming years.
In the second quarter, there were several announcements highlighting the ongoing demand for LNG carriers. In May, PETRONAS’ floating liquefied natural gas (“FLNG”) facility was delivered for operation in Malaysia. The facility is the first of a number of FLNG projects that are scheduled to come online in the next few years. In June, Kinder Morgan received Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) approval for its Elba Island project (“Elba Island”). The 2.5 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”) project is expected to come online in 2018 and is supported by a 20-year contract with Shell for 100% of the liquefaction capacity. Elba Island is one of several liquefaction projects that has not taken final investment decision (“FID”), but continues to make progress in the current commodity price environment. The expanded Panama Canal also was completed in June 2016 and has seen a number of vessel transits. The opening of the expanded canal, which accommodates larger vessels including LNG carriers, should stimulate increased LNG trading activity between the Pacific and Atlantic basins due to greater destination optionality. On July 25, 2016, the first ever LNG carrier transit went through the expanded Panama Canal as theMaran Gas Apollonia, which is on charter to Shell, entered the locks on the Atlantic side carrying a cargo from the US Gulf Coast to Asia. Three more LNG transits have been booked in the next month.
New liquefaction projects representing approximately 140 million tonnes per annum of capacity have taken FID and are scheduled to come online between now and 2020. On the demand side, there have been sizeable year-on-year increases in import volumes from many new and existing nations looking to take advantage of low cost LNG. For example, for the six months to June 30, 2016, China and India have imported 29% and 45% more LNG, respectively, versus the same period in 2015. New importers such as Jordan, Egypt, Pakistan, and Lithuania have seen imports rise significantly in 2016 through the use of floating storage re-gasification units (“FSRUs”), which are typically quicker to market and offer greater flexibility than land-based terminals. We expect FSRUs to create additional demand in both new and existing markets for the new LNG coming online.
In the shorter term market, spot market rates through 2016 have plateaued around multi-year lows. Whilst it is too early to predict a sustained increase in the spot market, there has been a marked uptick in spot charter terms in recent weeks, with slightly improved freight rates and the ability to achieve round-trip economics on a more frequent basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Reconciliation of Partnership Performance Results to IFRS Common Control Reported Results in our Financial Statements:
Our Partnership Performance Results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 presented below are non-GAAP measures and exclude amounts related to GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd. and GAS-twenty one Ltd. (the owners of theMethane Alison Victoria, theMethane Shirley Elisabeth and theMethane Heather Sally, respectively) for the period prior to their transfer to the Partnership on July 1, 2015. While such amounts are reflected in the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements because the transfer to the Partnership was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control under IFRS, GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd. and GAS-twenty one Ltd. were not owned by the Partnership prior to their transfer to the Partnership in July 2015, and accordingly the Partnership was not entitled to the cash or results generated in the period prior to such transfer.
Our IFRS Common Control Reported Results presented below include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. Transfers of vessel owning subsidiaries from GasLog are accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are restated to reflect such subsidiaries from the date of their incorporation by GasLog as they were under the common control of GasLog.
GasLog Partners believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding the financial and operating performance of the Partnership necessary to understand the underlying basis for the calculations of the quarterly distribution and the earnings per unit, which similarly exclude the results of vessels prior to their transfer to the Partnership. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent GAAP measures presented in accordance with IFRS, but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS Common Control Reported Results.

EXHIBIT III
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. The Partnership believes that this non-GAAP financial measure assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. The Partnership believes that including EBITDA 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 continue to hold our common units. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods.
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or as a substitute for, or superior to profit, profit from operations, earnings per unit or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Some of these limitations include the fact that it does 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 significant interest expense, or 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 often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. It is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statement of cash flows and other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
EBITDA is presented on the basis of IFRS Common Control Reported Results and Partnership Performance Results. Partnership Performance Results are non-GAAP measures. The difference between IFRS Common Control Reported Results and Partnership Performance Results are results attributable to GasLog.
Certain numerical figures included in this press release have been rounded. Discrepancies in tables between totals and the sums of the amounts listed may occur due to such rounding.

Distributable Cash Flow
Distributable cash flow with respect to any quarter means EBITDA, as defined above for the Partnership Performance Results, after considering financial costs for the period, excluding amortization of loan fees, estimated drydocking and replacement capital reserves established by the Partnership. Estimated drydocking and replacement capital reserves represent capital expenditures required to renew and maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by our capital assets. Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used by investors in publicly-traded partnerships to assess their ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Our calculation of Distributable cash flow may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles Distributable cash flow to Profit for the period attributable to the Partnership.

(1) Excludes amounts related to GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd. and GAS-twenty one Ltd. (the owners of theMethane Alison Victoria, theMethane Shirley Elisabeth and theMethane Heather Sally, respectively) for the period prior to their transfer to the Partnership on July 1, 2015. While such amounts are reflected in the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements because the transfer to the Partnership was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control under IFRS, GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd. and GAS-twenty one Ltd. were not owned by the Partnership prior to their transfer to the Partnership in July 2015, and accordingly the Partnership was not entitled to the cash or results generated in the period prior to such transfers.
(2)Amounts reflected in the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 are fully attributable to the Partnership. The Partnership Performance Results reported in the first and second quarters of 2016 are the same as the IFRS Common Control Reported Results for the respective periods since there were no vessel acquisitions from GasLog during the last two quarters, which would have resulted in retrospective adjustment of the historical financial statements.
(3)Refers to reserves (other than the drydocking and replacement capital reserves) for the proper conduct of the business of the Partnership and its subsidiaries (including reserves for future capital expenditures and for anticipated future credit needs of the Partnership and its subsidiaries). For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, the other reserves amounts above have been reduced by $57,587 and $141,165, respectively, of foreign exchange losses. For those periods, distributable cash flow as reported had been adjusted to exclude the potentially disparate impact between periods of foreign exchange gains/losses.
