Current Fleet Deployment


The vessels Star Globe and Tiara Globe are currently operating on short term time charters.


During January 2013 “River Globe” entered into a time charter agreement with Global Maritime Trust for a period of a minimum 12 to a maximum 14 months at the charterer’s option at $7,600 per day gross.


The “Sky Globe” is on a T/C with Hyundai Merchant Marine co (HMM) that began in August 2011 and was scheduled to expire in a minimum of 24 (maximum of 26) months from such date, at $12,000 per day gross for the first year and $12,500 per day gross thereafter. The charterers of “Sky Globe” agreed to extend their charter to the maximum redelivery period at a rate of $8,300 per day


The “Jin Star” is on a bareboat charter with Eastern Media International and Far Eastern Silo & Shipping, that began during June 2010, for a period of five years (which can be extended for one year at the charterer’s option, and thereafter extended one additional year at our option), at $14,250 per day gross.


During July 2013 “Moon Globe” entered into a time charter agreement with Noble Resources S.A for a period of a minimum 4 (maximum 7) months at the charterer’s option at $8,500 per day gross plus $0.5 million ballast bonus.


The “Sun Globe” is currently on a T/C with Cosco Qingdao until January 2015 at $16,000 per day gross.


Assuming all charter counterparties fully perform under the terms of the respective charters, and based on the earliest redelivery dates, as of the day of this press release, the Company has secured employment approximately 56% of our fleet days for the rest of 2013 and approximately 29% for 2014.

Management Commentary

George Karageorgiou, President, Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer of Globus Maritime Limited, stated: “While the dry bulk market fundamentals continued to be weak, we remained committed towards our fleet deployment strategy, consisting of a mix of long and short-term (Spot) time charters that maximize our revenue capability, and will allow us to maintain a high fleet utilization, without limiting our upside upon a market recovery. As of the date of this press release, we have secured fleet employment of approximately 56% of our fleet days for the rest of 2013 and approximately 29% for 2014.

“During the second quarter of 2013, we began to see signs of moderation in terms of dry bulk fleet growth, which we believe will continue into 2014. While we don’t anticipate this translating into a material increase in the charter rate environment in 2013, we believe 2014 and beyond will provide the most significant opportunity for an already robust demand for dry bulk commodities to outpace overall supply growth. In the current market environment we remain conservative and opportunistic in terms of fleet deployment until charter rates recover. We maintain strong competitive advantages which include a modern fleet, tested management, efficient in-house technical and commercial management.”


Management Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations


Second quarter of the year 2013 compared to the Second quarter of the year 2012

Total comprehensive loss for the second quarter of the year 2013 amounted to $1.1 million or $0.13 basic loss per share based on 10,213,475 weighted average number of shares. If adjusted for the $1.0 million impairment loss, total adjusted comprehensive loss for the period becomes $0.1 million or $0.03 basic loss per share. Total comprehensive loss for the Second quarter of the year 2012 was $2.4 million or $0.27 basic loss per share based on 10,141,998 weighted average number of shares.

During the second quarter of 2013 we declared a preferred dividend of $63.46 per share to the holders of our Series A Preferred Shares which was paid during July 2013. There are 2,567 Series A Preferred Shares issued and outstanding as of today.   

Revenue

For the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 our Revenue was $6.8 million and $7.7 million respectively. The 12% decrease in Revenue was mainly attributed to the lower time charter rates achieved by our vessels on average during the second quarter of the year 2013 compared to the average time charter rates achieved during the same period in 2012 and despite the 4% increase in operating days, from 570 during the second quarter of 2012 to 593 during the second quarter of 2013.


Voyage expenses

Voyage expenses during the second quarter of 2013 reached $1.0 million as opposed to $2.8 million during the second quarter of 2012 corresponding to a decrease of 64%. Voyage expenses for the second quarter of 2012, included a one-time write-down of receivables of $1.5 million. Excluding the aforementioned one time charge, voyage expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $1.3 million corresponding to a decrease of 23% compared to the respective period in 2013.        


Time charter equivalent rate

Time charter equivalent rate (TCE) for the second quarter of 2013 was $8,838 per vessel per day as opposed to $7,353 per vessel per day for the second quarter of 2012, corresponding to an increase of 20%. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2012 included a one-time write-down of receivables of approximately $1.7 million ($0.2 million deducted from Revenue and $1.5 million included in Voyage Expenses). Excluding the one-time charges, TCE for the second quarter of 2012 was $10,696 per vessel per day which compared to the TCE achieved during the second quarter of 2013, corresponds to a decrease of 17%.        


Vessel operating expenses

Vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oils, insurance, maintenance, and repairs, increased by $0.3 million or 13% to $2.6 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $2.3 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2012. It is important to note that longer periods of time are more accurate in basing conclusions on, rather than on a quarter over quarter basis. The breakdown of our operating expenses for the second quarter of the years 2013 and 2012 was as follows:


 

 2013

 2012

Crew expenses

49%

55%

Repairs and spares

22%

16%

Insurance

9%

9%

Stores

11%

10%

Lubricants

7%

Other

2%

3%



Average daily operating expenses during the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $4,791 per day and $4,249 per day respectively.


Depreciation

Depreciation decreased by $1.5 million to $1.4 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2013 from $2.9 million during the respective period in 2012. The decrease in depreciation is attributed to the lower depreciable book value of the vessels resulting after the impairment charge of $80.2 million recognized during December 2012.


Amortization of fair value of time charter attached to vessels

Amortization of fair value of time charter attached to vessels during the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $0.4 and $0.5 million respectively. Amortization refers to the fair value of above market time charters attached to the vessels m/v Moon Globe and m/v Sun Globe acquired during the second half of 2011, which is amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining period of the time charters.


Impairment loss

During the second quarter of 2013 we recognized an impairment loss of $1.0 million with reference to the vessel Tiara Globe. During December 2012 the Company decided that the vessel Tiara Globe met the criteria to be classified as non-current asset held for sale and was subsequently measured at the lower of its carrying amount and its fair value less cost to sell. During the second quarter of 2013, Tiara Globe had its Special Survey which increased its carrying amount by $0.8 million while its fair value less cost to sell as of June 30, 2013 compared to its value as of March 31, 2013, decreased by $0.2 million.   


Interest expense and finance costs

Interest expense and other finance costs increased by $0.1 million, or 13%, to $0.9 million during the second quarter of the year 2013, compared to $0.8 million during the second quarter of the year 2012. The increase is mainly attributed to the increase in our weighted average interest rate to 2.54% during the second quarter of the year 2013 from 2.13% during the second quarter of the year 2012 resulting by an increase in the margin over LIBOR in one of our debt facilities effected as of December 28, 2012.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net cash generated from operating activities for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $3.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively.


Net cash used in financing activities during the three month period ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $9.8 million and consisted of $8.8 million of debt repayment and $1.0 million of interest and other finance costs paid. Net cash used in financing activities  during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $3.4 million and consisted of $1.4 million of debt repayment, $1.1 million of dividends paid and $0.9 million of interest and other finance costs paid.   


First half of the year 2013 compared to the first half of the year 2012

Total comprehensive income for the first half of the year 2013 amounted to $0.2 million or approximately $nil basic earnings per share based on 10,210,994 weighted average number of shares. If adjusted for the $1.0 million impairment loss recognized during June 2013, total adjusted comprehensive income for the period becomes $1.2 million or $0.10 basic earnings per share. Total comprehensive loss for the first half of the year 2012 was $0.8 million or $0.10 basic loss per share based on 10,129,799 weighted average numbers of shares.

Revenue

For the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 our Revenue was $14.3 million and $17.1 million respectively. The 16% decrease in Revenue was mainly attributed to the lower time charter rates achieved by our vessels on average during the first half of the year 2013 compared to the average time charter rates achieved during the same period in 2012.


Voyage expenses

Voyage expenses during the first half of 2013 reached $1.5 million as opposed to $2.9 million during the first half of 2012 corresponding to a decrease of 48%. Voyage expenses for the first half of 2012, included a one-time write-down of receivables of approximately $1.5 million. Excluding the aforementioned one time charge, voyage expenses for the first half of 2012 become $1.4 million which compared to the voyage expenses recognized during the respective period in 2013 corresponds to an increase of 7% mainly attributable to the cost of bunkers consumed during the period that our vessels travelled seeking for employment.     


Time charter equivalent rate

Time charter equivalent rate (TCE) for the first half of 2013 was $9,712 per vessel per day as opposed to $11,236 per vessel per day corresponding to a decrease of 14%. Net revenue for the first half of 2012 included a one-time write-down of receivables of approximately $1.7 million ($0.2 million deducted from Revenue and $1.5 million included in Voyage Expenses). Excluding the one-time charges, TCE for the first half of 2012 becomes $12,827 per vessel per day which, compared to the TCE achieved during the respective period in 2013, corresponds to a decrease of 24%.        


Vessel operating expenses

Vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oils, insurance, maintenance, and repairs, decreased by $0.2 million or 4% to $4.7 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $4.9 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 due to our continued efforts in cutting our operational costs. The breakdown of our operating expenses for the first half of the years 2013 and 2012 was as follows:


 

 2013

 2012

Crew expenses

53%

52%

Repairs and spares

19%

Insurance

10%

9%

Stores

Other

3%



Average daily operating expenses during the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $4,333 per day and $4,504 per day respectively.


Depreciation

Depreciation decreased by $3.1 million to $2.8 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 from $5.9 million during the respective period in 2012. The decrease in depreciation is attributed to the lower depreciable book value of the vessels resulting after the impairment charge of $80.2 million recognized during December 2012.


Amortization of fair value of time charter attached to vessels

Amortization of fair value of time charter attached to vessels during both six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.9 million. Amortization refers to the fair value of above market time charters attached to the vessels m/v Moon Globe and m/v Sun Globe acquired during the second half of 2011, which is amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining period of the time charters.


Interest expense and finance costs

Interest expense and other finance costs increased by $0.2 million, or 12%, to $1.9 million during the first half of the year 2013, compared to $1.7 million during the first half of the year 2012. The increase is mainly attributed to the increase in our weighted average interest rate to 2.56% during the first half of the year 2013 from 2.16% during the respective period in 2012 resulting by an increase in the margin over LIBOR in one of our debt facilities effected as of December 28, 2012.


Gain on derivative financial instruments

The valuation of our two interest rate swaps at the end of each reporting period is affected by the prevailing interest rates at that time. On June 30, 2011, the two interest rate swap agreements (for $25 million in total, or ~26% of our total debt outstanding of $95.7 million) were recorded at fair market value, which is the amount that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. Non-cash unrealized gain of $0.5 million was recorded for first half of the year 2013, compared to non-cash unrealized gain of $0.3 million for the respective period last year, a result of the change in the fair market value of the interest rate swaps.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net cash generated from operating activities for both six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $6.5 million.


Net cash used in financing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $12.0 million and consisted of $10.2 million of debt repayment, and $1.8 million of interest and other finance costs paid. Net cash used in financing activities  during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $7.1 million and consisted of $2.7 million of debt repayment, $2.7 million of dividends paid and $1.7 million of interest and other finance costs paid.   


As of June 30, 2013, our cash and bank balances and bank deposits were $6.1 million and our outstanding debt was $95.7 million gross of unamortized debt discount.


Major vessel repairs

The vessel “Tiara Globe” had its special survey during the second quarter of the year 2013 and we anticipate that one of our vessels will be drydocked during the second half of the year 2013. We budget 20 days per drydocking per vessel. Actual length will vary based on the condition of each vessel, shipyard schedules and other factors.

(1) Net Revenue is computed by subtracting voyage expenses from revenue. Net Revenue is not a recognized measurement under international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) and should not be considered as an alternative or comparable to net income.


(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest and finance costs net, gains or losses from the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, foreign exchange gains or losses, income taxes, depreciation, depreciation of drydocking costs, amortization of fair value of time charter acquired, impairment and gains or losses on sale of vessels. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to total comprehensive income/(loss) or cash generated from operations, as determined by IFRS, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under IFRS.


Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which we assess our financial performance and because we believe that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness and it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.


Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are:


·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs; and

·

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.


Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business.

(1)

Ownership days are the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us.

(2)

Available days are the number of ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys.

(3)

Operating days are the number of available days less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances.

(4)

Bareboat charter days are the aggregate number of days during which the vessels in our fleet are subject to a bareboat charter.

(5)

We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during the period.

(6)

Average number of vessels is measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during a relevant period divided by the number of calendar days in such period.

(7)

TCE rates are our revenue less net revenue from our bareboat charters less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our available days during the period excluding bareboat charter days, which is consistent with industry standards. TCE is a measure not in accordance with GAAP.

(8)

We calculate daily vessel operating expenses by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant time period excluding bareboat charter days.



The following table reflects the calculation of our daily TCE rates for the periods presented.
