Highlights of the quarter:
 
·
EBITDA for the quarter of $9.8 million and net income for the quarter of $1.7 million ($0.11 per share) after adjusting for non-cash impairment charge of $8 million.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $3.4 million.
 
·
The Company will pay a dividend of $0.02 per common share and $0.28 per preferred share for the quarter payable on February 19, 2013 for shareholders of record as of February 11, 2013. When determining the dividend our Board has taken into account general business conditions, the continued weak tanker market as well as the chapter 11 filing by Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “OSG”) and subsequent rejection of the Company’s two long term bareboat charters.
 
·
As a result of OSG filing for chapter 11, the Company's two long-term bareboat charters for its two Suezmax vessels have been rejected.  The vessels were redelivered to DHT on December 23, 2012 and January 15, 2013 and they are currently trading in the spot market.  DHT will have a claim against the OSG bankruptcy estate related to the rejection of these contracts, which are guaranteed by Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc..  The Company has not reflected such claim and the potential recovery in the financial statements as of December 31, 2012.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
·
DHT has entered into time charter contracts for the VLCCs DHT Ann and DHT Chris and the Aframax DHT Cathy in January 2013.  The time charters are entered into with end-users, have durations up to one year and have a mix of fixed rates and market related earnings.  The DHT Eagle is on a time charter until May 2013.  The remaining vessels are operating in the spot market.
 
·
Following the fleet appraisal for the fourth quarter, DHT repaid $4.0 million under the RBS credit facility in October.  Following the fleet appraisal conducted in early January 2013, DHT repaid $9.0 million in January. The next scheduled principal installment under the RBS facility is in Q1 2016.
 
·
The Company is in compliance with its loan facilities and had an unencumbered cash balance of $71.3 million (or $4.63 per share) as of December 31, 2012. The Company has no scheduled principal installments under its three credit facilities in 2013 and 2014. Scheduled principal installments under the DVB and DNB credit facilities total $4.9 million in 2015. However, further decline in vessel values may result in additional prepayments in order to remain in compliance with minimum value covenants.
 
·
Due to the likelihood of a potential sale of one of its vessels, the Company adjusted the carrying value of its fleet through a non-cash impairment charge of $8.0 million.
 


Fourth Quarter 2012 Financials
The Company reported net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 of $16.9 million, compared to revenues of $25.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The decline is due to a fleet reduction from 12 to 9 vessels and certain vessels coming off fixed rate charters. In the fourth quarter 2012, the two Suezmax vessels that were on bareboat charters to OSG contributed total revenues of $4.6 million.  These two vessels are now operating in the spot market. Vessel operating expenses for the quarter were $4.7 million.
 
Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was 7.5 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. Due to the likelihood of a potential sale of one of its vessels, the Company adjusted the carrying value of its fleet through a non-cash impairment charge of $8.0 million.
 
G&A for the quarter was $2.4 million and includes non-cash charges related to restricted share agreements for the Company’s management and board of directors.
 
Interest expenses were $1.7 million for the quarter.
 
Following the non-cash impairment charge of $8.0 million, the Company had a net loss for the quarter of $6.3 million.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $3.4 million.
 
The increase in accounts receivables during 2012 is primarily due to more vessels operating in the spot market and relates to working capital for vessels operating in commercial pools and in the spot market.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
With regards to the vessel on charter to a subsidiary of Frontline, the charter hire is paid monthly in advance. Subsequent to an amendment to the time charter with Frontline whereas the charter hire shall be paid at $26,000 per day monthly in advance for the remaining period of the charter commencing January 1, 2012, the difference between the original charter hire and the amendment, being $6,500 per day, shall be paid in arrears a with one lump sum payment in December 2012 and a second lump sum payment at the end of the charter period.  The lump sum payable in December has been paid.

At the end of the quarter, our cash balance was $71.3 million.
 
As a result of a fleet appraisal related to the RBS credit facility conducted in early January 2013, $9.0 million was classified as a current portion of long-term debt as of December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2012, we had 9,140,877 shares of common stock and 369,362 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, respectively.  A total of 31,605 shares of preferred stock were exchanged for common stock during the quarter.  On a fully exchanged basis, the Company has a total of 15,420,031 outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2012.

The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per common share and $0.28 per preferred share for the fourth quarter payable on February 19, 2013 for shareholders of record as of February 11, 2013. When determining the dividend our Board has taken into account general business conditions, the continued weak tanker market as well as the chapter 11 filing by OSG and subsequent rejection of the company’s two long term bareboat charters.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012

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 26 New Street, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands. The Company’s principal activity is the ownership and operation of a fleet of crude oil carriers.

The financial statement were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on January 28, 2013 and authorized for issue on January 29, 2013.

Note 2 – General accounting principals
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 2011.

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 2011 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, 2012 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:
             
 
Revised IAS 24 (revised), ‘Related party disclosures’, issued in November 2009. Effective January 1, 2011.
 
 
Classification of rights issues (amendment to IAS 32), issued in October 2009. The amendment applies to annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010.

 
IFRIC 19, ‘Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments’, effective July 1, 2010.
 
 
 
Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement’ (amendments to IFRIC 14). The amendments correct an unintended  consequence of IFRIC 14, ‘IAS 19 – The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their  interaction’.
 
 
Annual Improvements project, The improvement project is an annual project that provides a mechanism for making necessary but non urgent amendments in several standards.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
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.  The Company’s vessels carry crude oil only. The Company’s management manages the Company’s operations as one business segment.

Entity-wide disclosures:

Information about major customers:
As of December 31, 2012, one of the Company’s nine vessels was on charter, pursuant to a time charter to a subsidiary of Frontline. Three vessels will enter time charters in January 2013 to three different customers for periods up to one year.  The other five vessels operate in commercial pools or in the spot market.

Note 4 – Interest bearing debt
As of December 31, 2012, DHT had interest bearing debt totalling $212.7 million, of which $140.3 million is priced at Libor+0.70%, $29.3 million is priced at Libor+0.85%, $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.

The Company’s credit agreements contain a financial covenant related to the charter-free market value of the Company’s vessels that secure the obligations under the credit facilities. With regards to the credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland the charter free value (broker valuations) of the vessels that secure the obligations under this credit facility shall at all times be above 120% of the outstanding debt under the facility plus the actual or notional cost of terminating the interest rates swap. In order to stay in compliance with this covenant, the Company made a prepayment of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter 2012. As a result of a fleet appraisal related to the RBS credit facility conducted in early January 2013, the Company repaid $9.0 million in January in order to stay in compliance with this covenant.  This amount has been classified as current portion of long-term interest bearing debt as of December 31, 2012.
 
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 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.

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 December 31, 2012.

In assessing “value in use”, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value.  In developing estimates of future cash flows, we make assumptions about future charter rates, future use of vessels, ship operating expenses, 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.  Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are subjective. The impairment test resulted in a non-cash impairment charge in the fourth quarter of $8 million. The impairment test has been performed using an estimated weighted average cost of capital of 8.39%.

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.

The Aframaxes Overseas Rebecca and Overseas Ania were sold during the second quarter of 2012. DHT incurred a loss of $1.4 million on the sale of the two vessels in the second quarter.  A loss of $0.9 million related to the Overseas Rebecca was recorded in the first quarter 2012.

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.  Unless voluntarily exchanged by each shareholder prior to June 30, 2013, the preferred shares will automatically be exchanged for shares of common stock in July 2013.  Assuming the full exchange of all shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock a total of approximately 15.4 million shares of common stock would have been issued and outstanding.

In February 2011, DHT issued a total of 15,425,300 shares of common stock with par value of $0.01 per share for total net proceeds of $67.5 million after underwriting discount and expenses amounting to $4.2 million.
 
 
 
 

 
 

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.

Note 8 – Accounts receivable
The increase in accounts receivables during 2012 is primarily due to more vessels operating in the spot market. A significant part of the accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012 relates to working capital for vessels operating in commercial pools and in the spot market. With regards to the vessel on charter to a subsidiary of Frontline, the charter hire is paid monthly in advance. Subsequent to an amendment to the time charter with Frontline whereas the charter hire shall be paid at $26,000 per day monthly in advance for the remaining period of the charter commencing January 1, 2012, the difference between the original charter hire and the amendment, being $6,500 per day, shall be paid in arrears a with one lump sum payment in December 2012 and a second lump sum payment at the end of the charter period.  The lump sum payable in December 2012 has been paid and the accounts receivable from Frontline was $0.1 million as of December 31, 2012.
