FIRST QUARTER 2018 FINANCIALS

Shipping revenues for the first quarter of 2018 of $79.9 million compared to shipping revenues of $92.1 million in the first quarter of 2017. The change from the 2017 period to the 2018 period was due lower tankers rates partly offset by an increase in the fleet and non-cash IFRS 15 adjustment of $3.7 million.

Voyage expenses for the first quarter of 2018 were $33.7 million, compared to voyage expenses of $21.4 million in the first quarter of 2017. The increase was mainly due to a larger fleet in the 2018 period in addition to a non-cash IFRS 15 adjustment of $1.0 million.

The Company’s VLCCs achieved time charter equivalent earnings for the vessels operating in the spot market of $20,200 per day in the first quarter of 2018. If IFRS 15 had not been adopted in the first quarter of 2018, the time charter equivalent earnings would have been $18,400 per day.

Vessel operating expenses for the first quarter of 2018 were $17.2 million, compared to $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2017. The increase was due to an increase in the fleet.

Depreciation and amortization was $23.7 million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to $20.9 million in the first quarter of 2017. The increase was due to an increase in the fleet.

General & administrative expense (“G&A”) for the first quarter of 2018 was $5.0 million, consisting of $3.8 million cash and $1.2 million non-cash charges, compared to $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, consisting of $4.3 million cash and $2.0 million non-cash charges. Non-cash G&A includes accrual for social security tax.

Net financial expenses for the first quarter of 2018 were $9.5 million compared to $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2017. The increase is mainly due to increased borrowings in connection with an increase in the fleet.

The Company had net loss in the first quarter of 2018 of $9.2 million, or loss of $0.06 per basic share and $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income in the first quarter of 2017 of $14.3 million, or $0.15 per basic share and $0.15 per diluted share.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2018 was $17.4 million compared to $41.4 million for the first quarter of 2017. The decrease is mainly due to net loss of $9.2 million in the first quarter 2018 compared to net income of $14.3 million in the first quarter 2017 due to a weaker tanker market.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 comprising $20.7 million related to sale of vessel offset by $17.5 million related to investment in vessels under construction and $1.7 million related to vessel undergoing special survey and drydocking. Net cash used in investing activities was $46.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 comprising $6.0 million related to investment in vessels and $63.9 million related to investment in vessels under construction, offset by $23.3 million related to the sale of DHT Chris.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2018 was $26.4 million comprising $2.9 million related to cash dividend paid, $14.8 million related to scheduled repayment of long term debt and $8.7 million related to repayment of long term debt in connection with sale of vessels. Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2017 was $31.8 million comprising $7.6 million related to cash dividend paid, $11.6 million related to scheduled repayment of long term debt and $12.0 million related to repayment of long term debt in connection with sale of vessels.

As of March 31, 2018, our cash balance was $69.8 million, compared to $77.3 million as of December 31, 2017.

We declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per common share for the first quarter of 2018 payable on May 30, 2018 for shareholders of record as of May 21, 2018.

We monitor our covenant compliance on an ongoing basis. As of the date of our most recent compliance certificates submitted for the first quarter of 2018, we are in compliance with our financial covenants.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2018

 
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 is engaged in 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 May 4, 2018 and authorized for issue on May 7, 2018.


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 2017. Our interim results are not necessarily indicative of our results for the entire year or for any future periods.

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

The interim 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 interim condensed financial statements are the same as presented in the 2017 audited consolidated financial statements.

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

Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”)
New and revised IFRSs, and interpretations mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning January 1, 2018 are listed below. With the exception of IFRS 15, the adoption did not have any effect on the financial statements:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Amendments to IFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2014-2016 Cycle
IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

Adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Effective from January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

For vessels operating on spot charterers, voyage revenues are, under the new revenue standard, recognized ratably over the estimated length of each voyage, calculated on a load-to-discharge basis. Voyage expenses are capitalized between the previous discharge port, or contract date if later, and the next load port if they qualify as fulfillment costs under IFRS 15. To recognize costs incurred to fulfil a contract as an asset, the following criteria shall be met: (i) the costs relate directly to the contract, (ii) the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future and (iii) the costs are expected to be recovered. Reference is also made to note 2 in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2017.

 
11

 
Time charters continue to be accounted as operating leases in accordance with IAS 17 and related interpretations and the implementation of the new revenue standard therefore did not have an effect on income recognition from such contracts.

The cumulative effect of the adjustments made to our condensed consolidated statement of financial position at January 1, 2018 from the adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers was as follows:

Voyage expenses are capitalized between the previous discharge port, or contract date if later, and the next load port and amortized between load port and discharge port. The closing balance of assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract was $1.3 million as per March 31, 2018. During first quarter of 2018, $1.0 million was amortized and no impairment losses were recognized in the period.

IFRS 15 requires disclosure on the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period and an explanation of when an entity expects to recognize these amounts as revenue. We have applied the practical expedient related to performance obligation with reference to IFRS 15:121 (a), as the original expected duration of the underlying contract is one year or less. Consequently, no disclosure is presented in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

According to IFRS 15:114 an entity shall disaggregate revenue recognized from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. DHT’s business is to operate a fleet of crude oil tankers and management has organized the entity as one segment based upon on the service provided. Consequently, the Company does not disaggregate revenue recognized from contracts with customers.

 
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 the service provided. Consequently, the Company has one operating segment as defined in IFRS 8, Operating Segments.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had 25 vessels in operation; 7 vessels were on time charters and 18 vessels operating in the spot market.

Information about major customers:
For the period from January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2018 five customers represented $11.5 million, $10.8 million, $7.2 million, $6.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of the Company’s revenues.

For the period from January 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017 five customers represented $13.8 million, $10.5 million, $10.0 million, $7.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively, of the Company’s revenues.

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 or reversal of prior impairment charges whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel. The Company is of the view that there were no events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel as of March 31, 2018.

Note 6 – Equity and Convertible Bond Offerings

Convertible Senior Note Offering
On September 16, 2014 we completed a private placement of $150 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2019 (the "Notes"). DHT will pay interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears. Net proceeds to DHT were approximately $145.9 million after the payment of placement agent fees. The value of the conversion right has been estimated to $21.8 million; hence $21.8 million of the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million was classified as equity. The Notes will be convertible into common stock of DHT at any time after placement until one business day prior to their maturity. The initial conversion price was $8.125 per share of common stock (equivalent to 18,461,538 shares of common stock), and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. As a result of the cumulative effect of previously announced cash dividends, the conversion price was adjusted to $6.3282 effective November 27, 2017. Based on the adjusted conversion price and after adjusting for the repurchase of $44.2 million of the convertible senior notes in the open market at an average price of 94.5% of par, the total number of shares to be issued would be 16,722,923.

We have concluded that the adjustment of the conversion rate upon the payment of cash dividends does not result in an accounting entry as the liability and equity components of the instrument are not re-measured as a result of the cash dividend. This is based on the fact that we have determined that the Notes are non-derivative financial instruments that contain both liability and equity components. The financial liability is the contractual obligation to make interest and principal payments and the equity component is the right of the holders of the Notes to convert the Notes into a fixed number of the Company’s common shares. In accordance with IAS 32, the liability component was measured first and is recorded at its amortized cost over the life of the instrument. The equity component was assigned the residual amount after deducting the amount separately determined for the liability component. The equity component was recorded as part of additional paid-in capital and is never re-measured.

The determination that the conversion feature is an equity instrument (rather than a derivative liability accounted for under IAS 39) was made on the basis that there is no variability in the number of equity instruments delivered upon conversion (i.e. the exchange meets the “fixed for fixed” requirements set forth under IAS 32). In making the determination, the Company considered that the Notes contain a mechanism whereby the conversion rate of the Notes is adjusted for cash dividends paid by the Company. Although this adjustment results in variability in the number of common shares delivered, the fact that this variability serves to maintain the relative economic rights of the holders of the Notes results in no violation of the “fixed for fixed” requirement.
