Dividends and Results for the Quarter ended June 30, 2010
The Board of Directors has declared an increased quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share. The dividend will be paid on or about September 30, 2010 to shareholders of record as of September 10, 2010. The ex-dividend date will be September 8, 2010.
The profit share accrued in the second quarter was $11.4 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to $11.3 million, or $0.14 per share in the first quarter of 2010. The accrued profit share in the quarter was on the back of strong revenues in the tanker sector in the second quarter.
Under US GAAP, the ultra-deepwater drilling units West Polaris, West Hercules and West Taurus and the Panamax dry bulk carrier Golden Shadow are accounted for as 'investment in associate'. Consequently, only the aggregate 'net income' from these assets is recognized in the consolidated income statement of Ship Finance as 'results in associate'.
The Company reported total net operating revenues of $80.8 million, or $1.02 per share, in the second quarter of 2010. This number excludes charter hire classified as 'repayment of investments in finance lease', and also excludes substantial charter revenues earned by the assets classified as 'investment in associate'.
Reported net operating income for the quarter was $50.1 million, or $0.63 per share, and reported net income was $43.6 million, or $0.55 per share.
Financing and Capital Expenditure
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $54.6 million of available cash. There are no refinancing requirements in the short term, and the Company is in compliance with all bank covenants. Several of our financing arrangements are in subsidiaries with no or limited guarantees from Ship Finance.
At quarter end, the Company had gross estimated capital commitments of approximately $154 million. Including the dry bulk vessels we have agreed to acquire subsequent to quarter-end, the total gross capital commitment is $255 million, with the following estimated payment schedule.

As of June 30, 2010, payments to the yards total $69 million, and have been funded from our available cash. We expect to secure financing for these vessels in due course, which may significantly reduce the requirement for additional cash investments.
Business Update
As of June 30, 2010 and including subsequent acquisitions, the fixed-rate charter backlog from our fleet of 71 vessels and rigs was approximately $6.8 billion, with an average remaining charter term of 8.2 years, or 12.1 years if weighted by charter revenue. Some of our charters include purchase options that, if exercised, would reduce the fixed charter backlog and average remaining charter term.
In April 2010, the single-hull VLCC Golden River was sold to an unrelated third party for a net sales price of approximately $12.6 million. Ship Finance received net cash proceeds of approximately $4.7 million after prepayment of associated debt and compensation to Frontline Ltd. ("Frontline") for the termination of the current charter. We recorded a minor book impairment on the sale of the vessel in the second quarter.
The single-hull VLCC Front Sabang was announced sold on hire-purchase terms in 2008 with final delivery to the buyer in 2011. Ship Finance and the buyer have now agreed to terminate the agreement in early September 2010 concurrently with the buyer's intended disposal of the vessel. Ship Finance will then receive the balance of the lease and will no longer have title to the vessel.
The continued reduction of our single-hull tanker exposure is in line with the Company's strategy of focusing on modern assets in various shipping and offshore segments, and Ship Finance will have only five non-double hull crude oil tankers remaining in the fleet. These vessels have been accounted for as finance leases, but will be reclassified as operating leases from the respective vessel's anniversary date in 2010. This means that the full charter hire will be recorded in revenues but also that there will be ordinary depreciation relating to these assets. During the second quarter Ticen Ocean and Titan Orion were reclassified to operating leases, while Titan Aries was reclassified to operating lease in the first quarter. The two remaining single hull vessels, Ticen Sun and Front Ace, will be reclassified in the third quarter. For a detailed breakdown of the accounting effect, please contact us at ir@shipfinance.no.
Our newbuilding 1,700 teu container vessel, SFL Avon, is expected to be delivered from the shipyard in October 2010. We have agreed to charter the vessel to a major container line on a six-month time charter with a net charter rate of approximately $8,100 per day with an option to extend the charter for another six months at a higher rate.
Subsequent to quarter-end, Ship Finance has agreed to acquire three 57,000dwt Supramax dry bulk carriers built in China. The total acquisition price is $100.7 million. The vessels include one 2009-built vessel with expected delivery to the Company in the fourth quarter 2010 and two newbuildings with estimated delivery to the Company in the fourth quarter 2010 and first quarter 2011. The payment terms are 20% deposit on signing of contract, and the remaining balance to be paid on delivery of the vessels. Financing has not yet been finalized, but we have received indications from banks for 80% of purchase price.
Concurrently with the bulker acquisitions, the Company has secured long-term time charters for the vessels to an investment-grade Asia-based logistics company with a market capitalization close to $5 billion. The average charter period will be approximately 9 years and the average net charter rate is approximately $17,000 per day per vessel. There are no purchase options attached. This transaction will further diversify our charter portfolio with respect to clients and market segments.
On all 31 double-hull vessels on long-term contracts to Frontline, Ship Finance is also entitled to receive 20% of the time charter equivalent ("TCE") earnings in excess of a base charter rate. The spot tanker market rates were in line with the first quarter and this resulted in a profit share contribution of $11.4 million in the second quarter. Into the third quarter, charter rates for tankers have softened compared to the first and second quarters, and this is expected to have an impact also on the profit share contribution in the third quarter.
The Company's four drilling units are all on long-term fixed-rate bareboat contracts to Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill"), and generated approximately $96.4 million of combined charter revenues in the second quarter. Three of these assets are classified as investment in associate. Seadrill has sub-chartered all our drilling units to oil companies on very profitable terms. Due to the fixed-rate charter structure, Ship Finance is not directly impacted by short-term fluctuations in the drilling market.
Ship Finance also owns several other vessels, including offshore support vessels, container vessels and dry bulk vessels. All our operating vessels and rigs, except one 1,700 teu container vessel, are on long-term fixed-rate contracts that provides the Company with stability in cash-flow and earnings irrespective of fluctuations in the short-term charter market.
Corporate and Other Matters
Shareholders will not have the option to receive their dividends from the Company in the form of newly issued common shares this quarter. However, shareholders who would like to reinvest their cash dividend in additional shares are encouraged to sign up for our Dividend Reinvestment Plan with our transfer agent BNY Mellon. A link is available at the Company's website: www.shipfinance.org
Mr. Craig H. Stevenson, Jr., who has served as a Director since 2007, has notified the Board that he will not stand for re-election at the Company's Annual General Meeting on September 24, 2010. Mr. Stevenson is in the process of building up a tanker owning company, which will require all of his time and attention. The Board of Directors thanks Mr. Stevenson for his valuable contribution to the Company and wishes him all the best in the future.
Strategy and Outlook
The announced acquisition of three 57,000 dwt Supramax bulk carriers combined with long term charters is in line with Ship Finance's strategy to grow the portfolio in an accretive manner, and the delivery of these vessels will increase the Company's fixed-rate charter income and distribution capacity.
The management is committed to continue the conservative profile of the Company and the strategy is to charter out the majority of our assets on long-term charters to reputable operators in the shipping and offshore markets. Our diversified and extensive charter portfolio with more than 12 years average remaining weighted charter coverage provides the Company with a robust business platform, and supports a predictable long-term dividend capacity.
We will have an opportunistic approach to both segment and charter structure going forward, and vessels may from time to time also be chartered out on shorter term basis if we believe it will enhance total return for our shareholders.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward looking statements. These statements are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including Ship Finance management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although Ship Finance believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control, Ship Finance cannot give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or intentions.
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies, fluctuations in currencies and interest rates, general market conditions including fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the markets in which we operate, changes in demand resulting from changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, developments regarding the technologies relating to oil exploration, changes in market demand in countries which import commodities and finished goods and changes in the amount and location of the production of those commodities and finished goods, increased inspection procedures and more restrictive import and export controls, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, performance of our charterers and other counterparties with whom we deal, timely delivery of vessels under construction within the contracted price, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Three of our subsidiaries, owning four of our units, are accounted for as 'Investment in associate'. Stockholder's equity in each subsidiary is adjusted for current account balance.
|
(2)
|
As of June 30, 2010, 'Stockholders' equity' excludes $191.0 million of deferred equity which is being recognized over time. In connection with the initial and subsequent acquisitions of vessels from Frontline, Ship Finance has accounted for the difference between the historical cost of the vessels and the net investment in the lease as a deferred equity contribution. This deferred equity contribution is shown as a reduction in the net investment in finance leases in the balance sheet. This results from the related party nature of both the transfer of the vessel and the subsequent charter. This deferred equity is amortized to 'Stockholders' equity' in line with the charter payments received from Frontline.
