HIGHLIGHTS
| · | EBITDA USD 164 million: year-on-year growth in freight rates |
| · | Tanker fundamentals: demand is robust and growing & vessel supply manageable |
| · | Almost no vessels ordered in Q1 globally because of restricted access to finance |
| · | Dividend USD 0.82 per share (ex dividend date 17 May 2016) |
ANTWERP, Belgium, 27 April 2016 – Euronav NV (NYSE: EURN & Euronext: EURN) ("Euronav" or the "Company") today reported its non-audited financial results for the first quarter 2016.
Paddy Rodgers, CEO of Euronav said: "The strongest first quarter for eight years and a robust start to the second quarter with freight rates higher year-on-year are providing Euronav with a strong platform for further growth. Demand continues to expand stimulated by a "lower for longer" oil price. The current vessel supply outlook is manageable consistent with our thesis that restricted access to finance is emerging as a barrier to entry, evidenced by virtually no new large tanker orders during the first quarter. Euronav remains committed to its policy of distributing 80% of net income to shareholders (excluding exceptional items such as gains on the disposal of vessels). We believe that the outlook is positive and sustainable for Euronav and the tanker sector."

For the first quarter 2016 the Company had a net result of USD 113.5 million or USD 0.72 per share (first quarter 2015: USD 80.9 million and USD 0.55 per share). EBITDA for the same period was USD 164.0 million (first quarter 2015: USD 131.3 million).
If the Company had continued to apply the proportionate consolidation method for its joint ventures for the first quarter of 2016, the adjusted EBITDA (a non IFRS-measure) would have been USD 185.0 million (first quarter 2015: USD 153.8 million), the adjusted EBIT would have been USD 124.4 million (first quarter 2015: USD 97.4 million) and the profit for the period would have remained the same.

EURONAV TANKER FLEET
On 15 January 2016 Euronav sold the VLCC Famenne (2001 – 298,412 dwt), one of its two oldest VLCC vessels, for USD 38.4 million. The vessel was wholly owned by Euronav. The capital gain on that sale of about USD 13.8 million was recorded at delivery on 9 March 2016.
On 26 January and 24 March 2016 Euronav took delivery of the second and third vessels of the four VLCCs which were acquired as resales of existing newbuilding contracts as announced on 16 June 2015: VLCC Alice (2016 - 299,320 dwt) and VLCC Alex (2016 - 299,445 dwt). In May 2016 Euronav is scheduled to take delivery of the fourth and last vessel – the VLCC Anne (2016 – 300,000 dwt). All vessels are fully financed.
CORPORATE
Euronav is fully funded in its current structure and retains a strong conviction that tanker markets are well balanced. The last VLCC to be delivered next month has remaining capex of USD 65.3 million. With the vast majority of its fleet currently on the water, Euronav is ideally positioned to benefit from this positive freight market environment and will remain disciplined as a good steward of shareholder capital.
DIVIDEND
As reported on 17 March 2016, Euronav proposes to pay a final dividend covering the second half of the 2015 financial year of USD 0.82 per share. This dividend will need to be approved at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders which will be held in Antwerp on 12 May 2016.
SHARE BUY BACK
As reported on 26 January 2016, Euronav has bought back 500,000 shares at an average cost of EUR 9.5256 per share. The Board of Directors remains authorized to buy shares back. The extent to which it does and the timing of these purchases will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations.
TANKER MARKET
The fundamental drivers for the tanker market continue to be positive for the short and medium term. Demand for crude and therefore for its transportation continues to grow. The volatility in the underlying oil price has masked its new affordability within the energy complex. Brent was on average 21% lower during the first quarter of 2016 than the fourth quarter of 2015 (source: Bloomberg). A lower oil price has helped stimulate demand with the IEA now forecasting 1.2 mbpd growth for every year until 2020. We believe that this demand growth should translate into an annual requirement of between 36 and 49 VLCCs.
Therefore, we believe this demand structure is adequate to absorb the increase in vessel supply for the rest of 2016 and 2017(30 net scheduled remaining VLCC deliveries in 2016 and 37 in 2017). Further support for a positive outlook is provided when looking at world fleet age profile and at vessels that will turn 20 years old during that period. Worldwide vessel supply remains manageable in our view. Freight rates in the first quarter of 2016 were higher year-on-year despite the delivery of ten VLCCs (and two Suezmaxes) into the global fleet during the quarter.
During the first quarter only one VLCC and two Suezmax orders were recorded (source: Clarksons) reflecting the emerging barrier to entry of access to capital to the tanker sector.
We believe that further vessel supply should remain constrained for the foreseeable future. The consequences of the financial crisis continue to have an impact on bank lending capacity but also on shipyard's ability to sell and produce newbuildings.
In these circumstances, the Company does not intend to place speculative newbuilding orders. Absent of long-term contract for employment with a customer or an equivalent vessel to scrap, increasing the order book and the world fleet cannot make sense for anyone regardless of the price in view of the current market outlook which while promising does not require further supply growth.
We encourage investors to visit our website to access our presentations which are updated regularly at http://investors.euronav.com/.
OUTLOOK
With year-on-year improvement in freight rates the market structure for larger crude tanker remains constructive. The oil price continues to stimulate demand to levels which should enable the increase in vessel supply to be adequately absorbed going forward. Oil production levels remain elevated and oil market analysts and observers generally expect that oil production levels are likely to remain above demand even with an agreed output freeze. Finally, low ordering of VLCC and Suezmax should prevent an oversupply of tonnage in the years to come.
So far in the second quarter of 2016 the Euronav VLCC fleet operated in the Tankers International Pool has earned about USD 59,342 per day and 43% of the available days have been fixed. Euronav's Suezmaxes trading on the spot market have earned about USD 32,595 per day on average with 41.5% of the available days fixed for the second quarter of 2016.
Euronav's 2015 annual report can be downloaded from our website (www.euronav.com/) and includes this year's special report which focuses on the benefits of pooling in the large crude tanker sector.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe", "anticipate", "intends", "estimate", "forecast", "project", "plan", "potential", "may", "should", "expect", "pending" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand, and supply of, for tanker vessel capacity, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for our vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other factors. This press release should be read in conjunction with the Belgian annual report and the documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including but not limited to the annual report on form 20-F, for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
