Highlights of the quarter:

EBITDA for the quarter of $3.2 million and net loss for the quarter of $4.1 million ($0.26 per share).
 
·  
As of September 30, 2013 the cash balance was $50.0 million, equal to $3.22 per share; an increase of $6.9 million from June 30, 2013.
 
·  
The Company will pay a dividend of $0.02 per common share for the quarter payable on November 21, 2013 for shareholders of record as of November 13, 2013. When determining the dividend our Board has taken into account general business conditions and the continued weak tanker market.
 
·  
During the quarter we concluded period business for the following vessels: DHT Target, DHT Trader, DHT Sophie and DHT Chris (extension). As of September 30, 2013, six of our eight vessels are on time charters of 6 to 12 months of which five of the charters are at fixed rates above cash break even (operating expenses, debt service and G&A) and one at a variable rate related to market development.

As of September 30, 2013 DHT had 15,640,975 shares of common stock outstanding. The 359,427 shares of preferred stock outstanding on June 30, 2013 were mandatorily exchanged into common shares on July 1, 2013.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Third Quarter 2013 Financials
The Company reported net revenues (after subtracting voyage expenses) for the third quarter of 2013 of $11.2 million, compared to revenues of $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2012.  The decline is due to a fleet reduction from 10 to 8 vessels and vessels coming off fixed rate charters.
 
Vessel expenses for the quarter were $5.8 million, compared to $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2012.
 
The DHT Target underwent technical upgrades and completed its third interim survey during the third quarter.  The vessel had a total of 17 days off hire.
 
Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $6.4 million for the quarter.  Commencing with the third quarter 2012, the Company changed the estimated useful life for the calculation of depreciation from 25 years to 20 years.
 
G&A for the quarter was $2.2 million and includes non-cash charges related to restricted share agreements for the Company’s management and board of directors.
 
Net financial expenses for the quarter were $0.9 million.
 
The Company had a net loss for the quarter of $4.1 million.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $7.9 million, which includes $5.0 million related to changes in working capital. At the end of the quarter, our cash balance was $50.0 million.
 
As of September 30, 2013 DHT had 15,640,975 shares of common stock outstanding. The 359,427 shares of preferred stock outstanding on June 30, 2013 were mandatorily exchanged into common shares on July 1, 2013.

The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per common share for the third quarter payable on November 21, 2013 for shareholders of record as of November 13, 2013. When determining the dividend our Board has taken into account general business conditions and the continued weak tanker market.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

Note 1 – General information
DHT Holdings, Inc. (“DHT” or the “Company”) is a company incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s principal executive office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda. The Company’s principal activity is the ownership and operation of a fleet of crude oil carriers.

The financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on October 30, 2013 and authorized for issue on October 30, 2013.

Note 2 – General accounting principles
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all information and disclosure required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with DHT’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2012.

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The accounting policies that have been followed in these condensed financial statements are the same as presented in the 2012 audited consolidated financial statements.

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.


Changes in accounting policy and disclosure

New and amended standards, and interpretations mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning January 1, 2013 but not currently relevant to the group (although they may affect the accounting for future transactions and events). The adoption did not have any effect on the financial statements:
             
 
Amended IAS 1, “Presentation of items of Other Comprehensive Income”.
 
 
IAS 19 (revised 2011); “Employee Benefits”.
 
 
IFRS 13; “Fair Value Measurement”.
 

Note 3 – Segment reporting
Since DHT’s business is limited to operating a fleet of crude oil tankers, management has organized the entity as one segment based upon on the service provided. Consequently, the Company has one operating segment as defined in IFRS 8, Operating Segments.  
 
Information about major customers:
As of September 30, 2013, six of the Company’s eight vessels were on charter, pursuant to time charters to different customers for periods up to one year. One vessel operate in a commercial pool and one vessel operated in the spot market.
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Note 4 – Interest bearing debt
As of September 30, 2013, DHT had interest bearing debt totalling $156.4 million, of which $113.3 million is priced at Libor+1.75%, $18.4 million is priced at Libor+3.00% and $24.8 million is priced at Libor+2.75%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one interest rate swap in an amount of $65 million under which DHT pays a fixed rate of 5.95% including margin of 0.85%. The interest rate swap expired on January 18, 2013. From January 1, 2009, the Company has discontinued hedge accounting on a prospective basis. Derivatives are re-measured to their fair value at each balance sheet date. The resulting gain and loss is recognized in profit or loss.

In March 2012 we entered into agreements to amend the credit agreements related to DHT Phoenix and DHT Eagle.  The agreements were amended whereby, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including the prepayment of $6.7 million and $6.9 million (equal to all scheduled installments through 2014), respectively, until and including December 31, 2014: (i)  the "Value-to-Loan Ratio” will be lowered from 130% to 120%; and (ii) the margin on the loans will be increased by 0.25% to 3.00% and 2.75%, respectively. These two amendments became effective upon the completion of the equity offering in early May 2012 at which time the above prepayments were made. These two credit facilities also contain financial covenants related to each of the borrowers as well as DHT on a consolidated basis. DHT covenants that, throughout the term of the credit agreements, DHT on a consolidated basis shall maintain unencumbered cash of at least $20 million, value adjusted tangible net worth of at least $100 million and value adjusted tangible net worth of no less than 25% of the value adjusted total assets.
 
In April 2013 the Company amended its credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland (“RBS”) whereby the minimum value covenant has been removed in its entirety.  Furthermore, the instalments scheduled to commence in 2016 have been changed from a fixed $9.1 million per quarter to a variable amount equal to free cash flow in the prior quarter – capped at $7.5 million per quarter. The next scheduled instalment would at the earliest take place in Q2 2016.  In April 2013 the Company made a prepayment of $25 million and the margin has increased to 1.75%.  DHT Maritime's financial obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by DHT Holdings.

Note 5 – Vessels
The carrying values of our vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of constructing new vessels.  Historically, both charter rates and vessel values have been cyclical.  The carrying amounts of vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not be fully recoverable. The Company has performed an impairment test using the “value in use” method as of September 30, 2013.
 
 
 
 

 

 
In assessing “value in use”, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value.  In developing estimates of future cash flows, we must make significant assumptions about future charter rates, future use of vessels, ship operating expenses, drydocking expenditures, utilization rate, fixed commercial and technical management fees, residual value of vessels, the estimated remaining useful lives of the vessels and the discount rate. These assumptions are based on current market conditions, historical trends as well as future expectations.  Estimated outflows for ship operating expenses and drydocking expenditures are based on a combination of historical and budgeted costs and are adjusted for assumed inflation.  Utilization, including estimated off-hire time, is based on historical experience. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are subjective. The impairment test did not result in a non-cash impairment charge in the third quarter of 2013. The impairment test has been performed using an estimated weighted average cost of capital of 8.72%.

Commencing with the third quarter of 2012, we have assumed an estimated useful life of 20 years, down from 25 years as the Company believes this is a more reasonable estimate of useful life for its vessels in the current market environment.


Note 6 – Equity Offering
A backstopped equity offering and a concurrent private placement of common stock and preferred stock by the Company closed on May 2, 2012.  DHT issued a total of 30,038,400 shares of common stock with par value of $0.01 per share and 442,666 shares of preferred stock with par value of $0.01 per share for total net proceeds of $76.0 million after expenses amounting to $4.0 million.  Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split on July 17, 2012, the preferred shares became exchangeable into 7,525,322 shares of common stock on a split-adjusted basis and assuming no further adjustments.  The preferred shares which had not been voluntarily exchanged by each shareholder prior to June 30, 2013, were automatically exchanged for shares of common stock on July 1, 2013.  Subsequent to the exchange of the preferred stock into shares of common stock DHT had 15,640,975 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2013.

Note 7 – Stockholders equity and dividend payment
At the Company’s 2012 annual general meeting of shareholders, the shareholders voted to authorize the Board to effect a reverse stock split of DHT's common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, at a reverse stock split ratio of 12-for-1 and to amend the articles of incorporation to effect the reverse stock split and adjust the total number of authorized shares of common stock to 30,000,000. The reverse stock split became effective as of close of business on July 16, 2012.

Common stock:
Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The common shares outstanding reflect the 12-for-1 reverse split effective as of close of business on July 16, 2012.

Preferred stock:
Terms and rights of preferred shares will be established by the board when or if such shares would be issued. Under the terms of the backstopped equity offering that closed in May 2012, 442,666 shares of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, were designated and issued by the Company.

The Series A Participating Preferred Stock participated with the common stock in all dividend payments and distributions in respect of the common stock (other than dividends and distributions of common stock or subdivisions of the outstanding common stock) pro rate, based on each share of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock being deemed to be equal to, after adjusting for the 12-for-1 reverse stock split that became effective as of the close of trading on July 16, 2012, (i) 14.1667 shares of common stock (for periods prior to January 1, 2013) and (ii) 12.5000 shares of common stock (for periods commencing January 1, 2013), in each case subject to further adjustment.

After adjusting for the above mentioned 12-for-1 reverse stock split, one share of issued and outstanding Series A Participating Preferred Stock was deemed equal to 16.6667 shares of common stock (the "Participation Factor"), subject to further adjustment, for purposes of voting rights and determining liquidation preference amounts in certain instances of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock.

Effective July 17, 2012 until June 30, 2013, each holder of Series A Participating Preferred Stock could choose to exchange its shares of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, on an all or nothing basis, for shares of common stock at a 1:17 ratio unless and until the Participation Factor becomes subject to further adjustment. On July 1, 2013, all issued and outstanding shares of Series A Participating Preferred Stock have been mandatorily exchanged into shares of common stock at 1:17 ratio. On a fully exchanged basis, the Company now has a total of 15,640,975 outstanding common shares.
