TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited (the “Holding Company”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 6-K and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2015 (“Annual Report”), but does not include all of the footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

  (a) Consolidation: In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-02-Consolidation. The amendments in this ASU affect reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Management believes that this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.

 

  (b) Debt Issuance costs: In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03-Interest-Imputation of Interest, to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this ASU would require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. Management believes that this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.

 

  (c) Fair Value Measurement: In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07-Fair Value Measurement, which permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair value of certain investments using net asset value per share of the investment. Management believes that this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.

 

  (d) Revenue from Contracts with customers: In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14-Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Management believes that this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.

  (a) Tsakos Energy Management Limited (the “Management Company”): The Holding Company has a Management Agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Management Company, a Liberian corporation, to provide overall executive and commercial management of its affairs for a monthly fee. Per the Management Agreement of March 8, 2007, effective from January 1, 2008, there is a prorated adjustment if at the beginning of each year the Euro has appreciated by 10% or more against the U.S. Dollar since January 1, 2007. In addition, there is an increase each year by a percentage figure reflecting 12 month Euribor, if both parties agree. In the first six months of 2015 and 2014 monthly fees for operating vessels are $27.5, for vessels chartered out, $20.4 for vessels on a bare-boat basis, and $35.8 for the LNG carrier, of which $10.0 is paid to the Management Company and $25.8 to a third party manager. Monthly management fees for the DP2 shuttle tankers have been agreed to $35.0, per vessel. Since the expiry of the bareboat charter of the VLCC Millennium on July 30, 2013, management fees for this vessel are $27.5 per month, of which $13.7 are payable to a third party manager. Management fees for the suezmax Eurochampion 2004 are $27.5 per month, of which, $12.0 are paid to a third party manager. In addition to the Management fee, the Management Agreement provides for an incentive award to the Management Company, which is at the absolute discretion of the Holding Company’s Board of Directors. In the first six months of 2015 an award of $1,142 was granted to the Management Company and is included in General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. No such award was granted in the first six months of 2014. In addition, a special award of $425 was paid to the Management Company in relation to capital raising offerings during the first six months of 2015 and $400 in the first six months of 2014. These awards have been included as a deduction of additional paid in capital in the accompanying Financial Statements.

The Holding Company and the Management Company have certain officers and directors in common. The President, who is also the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Holding Company, is also the sole stockholder of the Management Company. The Management Company may unilaterally terminate its Management Agreement with the Holding Company at any time upon one year’s notice. In addition, if even one director was elected to the Holding Company’s Board of Directors without having been recommended by the existing Board, the Management Company would have the right to terminate the Management Agreement on ten days’ notice, and the Holding Company would be obligated as at June 30, 2015 to pay the Management Company an amount of approximately $166,285 calculated in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement.

TCM, with the consent of the Holding Company, may subcontract all or part of the technical management of any vessel to an alternative unrelated technical manager.

Effective July 1, 2010, the Management Company, at its own expense, pays technical management fees to TCM, and the Company bears and pays directly to TCM most of its operating expenses, including repairs and maintenance, provisioning and crewing of the Company’s vessels, as well as certain charges which are capitalized or deferred, including reimbursement of the costs of TCM personnel sent overseas to supervise repairs and perform inspections on Company vessels. The Company also pays to TCM certain fees to cover expenses relating to internal control procedures and information technology services which are borne by TCM on behalf of the Company.

 

  (c) Tsakos Shipping and Trading S.A. (“Tsakos Shipping”):

Tsakos Shipping provides chartering services for the Company’s vessels by communicating with third party brokers to solicit research and propose charters.

  (a) Credit facilities

As at June 30, 2015, the Company had six open reducing revolving credit facilities, all of which are reduced in semi-annual installments, and two open facilities which have both a reducing revolving credit component and a term bank loan component, with balloon payments due at maturity between December 2015 and April 2019. At June 30, 2015 there is no available unused amount.

Interest is payable at a rate based on the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread. At June 30, 2015, the interest rates on these facilities ranged from 0.96% to 5.19%.

 

  (b) Term bank loans

Term loan balances outstanding at June 30, 2015 amounted to $710,339. These bank loans are payable in U.S. Dollars in quarterly or semi-annual installments, with balloon payments due at maturity between October 2016 and February 2025. Interest rates on the outstanding loans as at June 30, 2015, are based on LIBOR plus a spread.

On April 22, 2015, the Company signed a new five-year term bank loan for $35,190 relating to the pre and post delivery financing of the first LR1 tanker under construction. The first drawdown of $7,038 was made on April 23, 2015 for the payment of the second installment to the ship building yard. The loan is repayable in ten consecutive semi-annual installments of $977.5, commencing six months after the delivery of the vessel, plus a balloon of $25,415 payable together with the last installment.

On April 22, 2015, the Company signed a new seven-year term bank loan for $35,190 relating to the pre and post delivery financing of the second LR1 tanker under construction. The first drawdown of $7,038 was made

on April 22, 2015 for the payment of the second installment to the ship building yard. The loan is repayable in fourteen consecutive semi-annual installments equal to 1/32nd of the amount drawn under the loan, commencing six months after the delivery of the vessel, plus a balloon sufficient to repay the loan in full.

On May 25, 2015, the Company signed a new eight-year term bank loan for $73,500 relating to the pre and post delivery financing of one shuttle tanker under construction. The first drawdown of $9,800 was made on May 26, 2015 for the payment of the second installment to the ship building yard. The loan is repayable in sixteen consecutive semi-annual installments of $2,300, commencing six months after the delivery of the vessel, plus a balloon of $36,700 payable together with the last installment.

At June 30, 2015, interest rates on these term bank loans ranged from 1.77% to 4.03%.

The weighted-average interest rates on the above executed loans for the applicable periods were:

 

Three months ended June 30, 2015

  2.26

Three months ended June 30, 2014

  2.43

Six months ended June 30, 2015

  2.24

Six months ended June 30, 2014

  2.44

The above revolving credit facilities and term bank loans are secured by first priority mortgages on all vessels, by assignments of earnings and insurances of the respectively mortgaged vessels, and by corporate guarantees of the relevant vessel-owning subsidiaries.

The loan agreements include, among other covenants, covenants requiring the Company to obtain the lenders’ prior consent in order to incur or issue any financial indebtedness, additional borrowings, pay dividends in an amount more than 50% of cumulative net income (as defined in the related agreements), sell vessels and assets, and change the beneficial ownership or management of the vessels. Also, the covenants require the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity, not legally restricted, of $100,020 at June 30, 2015 and $79,563 at December 31, 2014, a minimum hull value in connection with the vessels’ outstanding loans and insurance coverage of the vessels against all customary risks. Three loan agreements require the Company to maintain throughout the security period, an aggregate credit balance in a deposit account of $3,250 and two other loan agreements a monthly pro rata transfer to a retention account of any principal due but unpaid.

As at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries were compliant with the financial covenants in its loan agreements, including the leverage ratio and the value-to-loan requirements and all other terms and covenants, except in the case of the value-to-loan requirements in one of its loan agreements with an outstanding balance of $30,400 as of June 30, 2015 ($31,700 as of December 31, 2014). The value-to-loan ratio will be satisfied with the repayment of the next two scheduled semi-annual installments, amounting to $1,300 each, on August 4, 2015 and February 4, 2016 respectively and therefore, no additional amount has been reclassified in the current liabilities at June 30, 2015.

The Company’s liquidity requirements relate primarily to servicing its debt, funding the equity portion of investments in vessels and funding expected capital expenditure on dry-dockings and working capital. As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s working capital (non-restricted net current assets), amounted to $25,901 ($49,817 deficit at December 31, 2014). The Company’s working capital has returned to a working surplus despite the two loan facilities which are reaching their maturity in December 2015 and June 2016 amounting $119,075 in total, and the loan balance of $52,195 relating to the pre-delivery financing of the LNG carrier Maria Energy, which is falling due in the first quarter of 2016, and the repayment of $23,194 on sale of Delphi and Triathlon which are held for sale at June 30, 2015 (Note 12 (d)). However, on April 22, 2015 the Company raised $81,798 in a public offering of its 8.75% Series D Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Shares, net of underwriter’s commission and other expenses. Net cash flow generated from operations is the Company’s main source of liquidity whereas other management alternatives to ensure service of the Company’s commitments include, but are not limited to, the issuance of additional equity and utilization of suitable opportunities for asset sales, etc. Management believes, such alternatives along with current available cash holdings and cash expected to be generated from the operation of vessels, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity and working capital needs for a reasonable period of time.

At June 30, 2015, the Company was committed to seven floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with major financial institutions covering notional amounts aggregating to $296,331, maturing from March 2016 through March 2021 on which it pays fixed rates averaging 3.25% and receives floating rates based on the six-month LIBOR (Note 11).

At June 30, 2015, the Company held six of the seven interest rate swap agreements, designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, in order to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with its debt covering notional amounts aggregating to $246,081. The fair value of such financial instruments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 in aggregate amounted to $8,455 (negative) and $7,046 (negative), respectively. The net amount of cash flow hedge losses at June 30, 2015 that is estimated to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is $3,909.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held one interest rate swap, that did not meet hedge accounting criteria. As such, the changes in its fair values during the first half of 2015 and 2014 have been included in change in fair value of non-hedging financial instruments in the table above, and amounted to a gain of $1,241 and $1,413, respectively.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had four and seven bunker swap agreements respectively, in order to hedge its exposure to bunker price fluctuations associated with the consumption of bunkers by its vessels. The fair value of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $3,321 (negative) and $9,228 (negative), respectively.

The changes in their fair values during the first half of 2015 and 2014 amounting to $5,907 (positive) and $81 (negative) respectively have been included in change in fair value of non-hedging financial instruments in the table above as such agreements do not meet the hedging criteria.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held three bunker put option agreements in order to reduce the losses of the bunker swap agreements previously entered into. The value of those put options at June 30, 2015 was $534 (positive) and at December 31, 2014 $2,443 (positive). The change in their fair value in the first half of 2015 was $1,909 (negative). In the first half of 2015 the Company entered into two call option agreements for the same reasons as for the put options. The premium paid for the call options was $314 which equals their fair market value at June 30, 2015.

As at June 30, 2015, the Company had under construction nine aframax tankers, two LR1 product tankers, one shuttle tanker and one LNG carrier. The total contracted amount remaining to be paid for the thirteen vessels under construction, plus the extra costs agreed as at June 30, 2015 was $641,325. Scheduled remaining payments as at June 30, 2015 were $49,486 from July to December 2015, $377,701 in 2016, and $214,138 in 2017. At June 30, 2015, there is a prepaid amount of $1,650 under an old shipbuilding contract which was terminated in 2014, which will be used against the contract price of future new buildings currently being discussed between the Company and the shipyard.

In the ordinary course of the shipping business, various claims and losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents and other suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. Management believes that all such matters are either adequately covered by insurance or are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Charters-out

The future minimum revenues of vessels in operation at June 30, 2015, before reduction for brokerage commissions, expected to be recognized on non-cancelable time charters are as follows:

11. Financial Instruments

 

  (a) Interest rate risk: The Company is subject to interest rate risk associated with changing interest rates with respect to its variable interest rate term loans and credit facilities as described in Notes 5 and 6.

 

  (b) Concentration of credit risk: Financial Instruments that are subject to credit risks consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable, investments, and derivatives. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, primarily with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk. The Company limits the exposure of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings, and performing periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the counterparties.

 

  (c) Fair value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The present value of the future cash flows of the portion of one long-term bank loan with a fixed interest rate is estimated to be approximately $36,566 as compared to its carrying amount of $37,410. The Company performs relevant enquiries on a periodic basis to assess the recoverability of the long-term investment and estimates that the amount presented on the accompanying balance sheet approximates the amount that is expected to be received by the Company in the event of sale of that investment.

The fair values of the one long-term bank loan with a fixed interest rate, the interest rate swap agreements, and bunker swap agreements, put option agreements and call option agreements discussed in Note 6 above are determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined.
