Highlights 4 4
Performance and Recent Market Activity 5 Highlights ▪ Reporting EBITDA of $7.6 million and an adjusted net loss of $8.2 million, or $0.25 per share for the second quarter, reflecting weakness in product tanker charter rates ▪ Fleet is performing very well; operating expenses were reduced in the quarter and overhead below budget year to date ▪ MR product tankers earned $11,510 per day for 2Q18 and $12,086 year to date. MR spot charter rates impacted by: o Lower cargo volumes due to unrelated one-off events in key consumer regions in the Atlantic Basin (Brazil, Mexico and West Africa) o Exceptional weakness in crude tanker market resulted in some newbuildings carrying refined products on maiden voyages East of Suez ▪ Charter market remains soft but we believe rates have bottomed out; refinery throughput set to reach record levels in 3Q18 (1) , cargo volumes in the Atlantic should normalise and crude tanker trading in CPP on maiden voyages expected to decline in 2H18 (2) ▪ Looking ahead, 2020 sulphur cap is coming into focus; expect significant increase in seaborne volumes of refined products with cost advantages for more fuel efficient vessels such as Ardmore’s 1.
