EURONAV ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER AND HALF YEAR RESULTS 2017
HIGHLIGHTS
· | Freight rates challenging given seasonal patterns and concentration of deliveries of newbuildings |
· | FSO contracts extension provides further fixed income until 2022 |
· | Two additional seven-year Suezmax time charters signed during quarter adding to the fixed income until 2025 |
· | Return to shareholders policy upgraded with a minimum fixed annual dividend of USD 0.12 per share |
· | Return to shareholders policy retains capability for additional dividend and share buy back |
· | USD 150 million unsecured bond raised diversifying and boosting balance sheet strength |
· | USD 110 million ECA (KSure) financing for the 2 VLCCs delivered in January |
ANTWERP, Belgium, 10 August 2017 – Euronav NV (NYSE: EURN & Euronext: EURN) ("Euronav" or the "Company") today reported its non-audited financial results for the second quarter and for the first half of 2017.
Paddy Rodgers, CEO said: "Euronav made considerable progress during Q2. The confirmation of the extension of our five-year FSO contracts combined with an additional two seven-year time charters provide us with a robust and visible fixed income profile. Our balance sheet was further enhanced with a USD 150 million unsecured bond offering during May. The board of directors and management believe these strengths should be reflected in our return to shareholders policy which has now been upgraded to a minimum fixed annual dividend of USD 0.12 per share.
The tanker cycle is positioned at an interesting intersection. Demand for oil saw upgrades during Q2 for both 2017 and 2018 (IEA), supply of oil remains abundant despite OPEC production cuts and modern asset prices appear to have stabilized. Ton-miles were further boosted by U.S. exports since the start of the year and sources of finance, primarily banks, continue to reduce. However, the key challenge for the tanker market is the concentration of deliveries of newbuildings in both the VLCC and Suezmax sectors over the next 18 months which is putting pressure on the freight rate market.
If the illness is low freight rates then the cure is low freight rates as that should drive scrapping activity. Until this inflection point is reached, Euronav retains substantial balance sheet capacity and fixed income visibility to navigate through such a period of lower freight rates and/or to take advantage of expansion opportunities. The duration of the challenging freight rate environment will be entirely dependent on the number of additional orders to build new ships that are not needed by the market."

UPGRADE TO EURONAV'S RETURN TO SHAREHOLDERS POLICY
Please read the complete new policy here.
Since Euronav announced its distribution policy in early 2015, the Company has paid out USD 391 million in cash dividends (USD 2.46 per share) and USD 7 million (USD 0.04 per share) in share buy backs. This is one of the highest pay-out of any tanker company over this period.
As a result of substantial changes in tanker market outlook and in view of the Company's strong balance sheet and visible fixed income from the FSOs and time charter contracts, the Board of Directors of Euronav believes that it could improve its return to shareholders policy.
In the near future the tanker freight market may indeed be more challenging than in the last ten quarters and as a result the Company may not generate semi-annual positive results. As a consequence, under the current return to shareholders policy, the Company may not distribute significant interim or final dividends, or any dividends at all. At the same time, there are now numerous opportunities available which would better serve shareholders so as to generate improved and sustained value over the longer term.
Under its new return to shareholders policy Euronav intends to (1) pay a fixed minimum dividend of USD 0.12 per share every year (equivalent of USD 0.06 for each half year) and; (2) if the results per share are positive and exceed the amount of the fixed dividend, that additional income will be allocated to additional dividends or buying back shares or, of course, accretive vessel or fleet acquisitions, as the board at that time deems most valuable for the shareholders in the long term.
![]() | PRESS RELEASE Regulated information Thursday 10 August 2017 - 8 a.m. CET __________________________________________________________________________ |
INTERIM DIVIDEND 2017
Accordingly, Euronav will pay an interim dividend of USD 0.06 per share for the first half of 2017. This will be the first payment under this new policy announced today. It is anticipated that the ex-dividend date shall be 25 September 2017 with a record date of 26 September 2017 and a payment date of 5 October 2017.
The interim dividend for the first half of 2017 of USD 0.06 per share should be compared to the previous policy which was to pay 80% of net income over the full year with the interim payment a reflection of first half performance and outlook for the second half. A challenging second half freight market consensus for 2017 for the large tanker market would have implied a zero dividend for both the interim and full year 2017 under strict application of the former policy.
EURONAV TANKER FLEET
In June Euronav sold the VLCC TI Topaz (2002 – 319,430 dwt) for USD 21 million recording a capital loss of USD 21 million. The TI Topaz joined the Euronav fleet in the first quarter of 2005 and has contributed positively over the years to the results of Euronav, especially during strong freight rate years such as 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2015 and 2016. The book loss relates to the value of the ship in our books where assets follow straight line depreciation over 20 years.
In May Euronav and its joint venture partner, International Seaways, signed a contract for five years for the FSO Africa and FSO Asia in direct continuation of the current contractual service. The contract was signed with North Oil Company ("NOC"), the future operator of the Al Shaheen oil field, whose shareholders are Qatar Petroleum Oil & Gas Limited and Total E&P Golfe Limited.
The new contracts for these custom-made 3 million barrels capacity units that have been serving the Al Shaheen field without interruption since 2010 will have a duration of five years starting at the expiry of the existing contracts. The new contracts are expected over their full duration to generate EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in excess of USD 360 million for the joint ventures. Based on Euronav's 50% ownership in the joint ventures the five year contracts are expected to generate in excess of USD 180 million of EBITDA for the Company.
FINANCING
In May the Company successfully launched a USD 150 million unsecured bond with a coupon of 7.50% and maturity in May 2022. This was Euronav's first entry into debt capital markets and represents a significant development for the Company in diversifying its funding structure. Indeed, traditional sources of capital, especially bank lending, available to tanker shipping are coming under increasing regulatory and competitive pressure within the banking sector.
![]() | PRESS RELEASE Regulated information Thursday 10 August 2017 - 8 a.m. CET __________________________________________________________________________ |
In June, the company started a treasury note program (Commercial Paper) and placed approximately EUR 50 million in the market for various short term maturities at a pricing of 60 bps over Euribor. This is not additional debt but rather an opportunity to decrease the cost of borrowing by systematically using the proceeds to repay part of the company's revolving loan facilities.
Euronav also signed a 12-year USD 110 million Export Credit Agency (ECA) financing with commercial banks and Ksure for the financing of the two VLCC newbuildings (the Aquitaine and the Ardeche) the Company took delivery of in January.
TANKER MARKET
We believe that the recent deferral of the required implementation of installing new ballast water treatment systems on all large crude tankers from September 2017 until 2019 will have a negligible impact. Many operators had already de-harmonised their surveying cycle arrangements in anticipation of this legislation so that the original implementation date of 8 September 2017 would, in our view, not have been a specific catalyst for scrapping. However, a significant portion of both the VLCC and Suezmax global fleet is reaching maturity (20 years old or more) between the end of 2017 and end of 2020 during which time both the ballast water treatment directive and reduced sulphur emissions directive will have to be implemented. Within this "regulatory window" (2018-2020) increasing commercial pressures which are driving charterers away from vessels aged 15 years or more will be applied to the 106 VLCC (15% of global fleet) and 72 Suezmax (also 15%) vessels that will turn 20 years old between now and the end of 2020.
The delivery schedule of the current order book is likely to continue to pressure the freight market downward with 28 VLCCs and 23 Suezmaxes due for delivery in the second half of 2017. However, the order book to fleet ratio of 13% for both VLCC and Suezmax sectors versus an average since 1996 of 22% (VLCC) and 24% (Suezmax) (source: Clarksons) looks manageable in the mid-term if no new orders are placed, especially when looking at recent scrapping activity with 3 VLCCs and 5 Suezmaxes scrapped so far this year (Source: Clarksons). However, the concentration of the delivery of newbuildings is the key driver to current and future freight rates. With 28 VLCCs and 23 Suezmaxes due for delivery in the second half of 2017, without scrapping, this downward pressure will remain.
The picture for oil demand remains constructive with the IEA upgrading both 2017 and 2018 forecasts during Q2 fueled by Far East demand and an oil price in a pricing range conducive for economic expansion. With U.S. exports reaching 780,000 bpd during Q2, this should translate into a requirement of an additional 35-45 VLCCs for both this year and next.
![]() | PRESS RELEASE Regulated information Thursday 10 August 2017 - 8 a.m. CET __________________________________________________________________________ |
The extension of the OPEC production cut to March 2018 was clearly a negative development during May. However, the supply of crude oil remains largely constructive: U.S. shale oil production continues to expand; Nigeria/Libya production (exempt from OPEC cuts) is recovering; general supply outage levels remain low and new supply sources are coming online (e.g. Kashagan). It remains to be seen whether the OPEC production cuts delivered since Q4 2016 translate into something more restrictive for exports and therefore tankers in the second half.
OUTLOOK
Euronav has taken affirmative action in response to a weaker tanker background. The Company has a strong balance sheet with low leverage and access to over USD 800 million of liquidity following its entry into the debt capital markets during Q2. High quality fixed income (the FSO vessels and 4 x 7 year Suezmax time charters) secured via strong relationships and with visibility to 2025 provides Euronav's stakeholders with additional security which will now be reflected in our upgraded return to shareholders policy. Euronav takes its responsibility as steward of capital seriously and management believes that possessing a strong yet flexible capital structure will be critical in the next 18-24 months.
Euronav further believes that the sector is now entering a new phase of the cycle with stabilized prices for modern assets but uncertainty over, and pressure upon, freight rates. Euronav is well positioned to navigate the next stage of the tanker cycle – to be strategically opportunistic whilst remaining exposed to any potential upside from an improved freight rate environment.
So far during the third quarter of 2017, the Euronav VLCC fleet operated in the Tankers International Pool has earned about 20,000 USD and 61% of the available days have been fixed. Euronav's Suezmax fleet trading on the spot market has earned about 14,700 USD per day on average with 60% of the available days fixed.
