Management Commentary


George Karageorgiou, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Globus Maritime Limited, stated:


�Our financial results for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 reflect the continued overall weakness in dry bulk freight rates. Our time charter equivalent rate in Q3 of 2014 was $7,524 versus $10,212 during the same period in 2013 corresponding to a decrease of 26%. The weakness in the dry bulk market primarily reflects the current vessel oversupply of the market. ��


�In this tight market we maintained our focus on operational and commercial efficiency. The average daily operating expenses for Q3 2014 decreased by 10% compared to the same quarter of last year, while our interest expense and finance costs were almost halved reflecting the termination of our swap facilities and the sharp decrease in our average debt outstanding to $83.8 million in Q3 2014 down from $95.3 million in Q3 2013. We have also started discussions with various financial institutions regarding the refinancing of our biggest credit facility with the scope to reduce further our cash-flow break even rate for 2015.�Looking forward, in January 2015, following the charter expirations of two of our vessels, the Jin Star and Sun Globe, we will have zero long term contract coverage, which will allow us to take advantage of an eventual strengthening dry bulk sector by focusing our chartering strategy on short and medium duration time charters.


�We remain cautiously optimistic for the prospects of the dry bulk market in 2015. The scheduled increase in iron ore supply brought online by the major mining companies in Australia and Brazil in conjunction of the higher global GDP growth rate anticipated by the reduction of the crude oil price should have a positive effect on the dry bulk market and industry analysts expect a tighter balance between supply and demand leading to a healthier freight market.


�Globus is an efficient low cost operator with a modern and uncommitted fleet, and experienced management. I strongly believe that we are well positioned to benefit from the eventual market turnaround.�









Management Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations


Third quarter of the year 2014 compared to the third quarter of the year 2013

Total comprehensive income for the third quarter of the year 2014 amounted to $0.2 million or $0.02 basic earnings per share based on 10,236,134 weighted average number of shares while total comprehensive income for the third quarter of the year 2013 amounted to $1.2 million or $0.12 basic earnings per share based on 10,218,033 weighted average number of shares.

The following table corresponds to the breakdown of the factors that led to the decrease in total comprehensive income during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 (expressed in $000�s): ��

Revenue

During the three month period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 our Revenue reached $6.3 million and $7.6 million respectively. The 17% decrease in Revenue was mainly attributed to the decrease in the average time charter rates achieved by our vessels during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) for the third quarter of 2014 amounted to $7,524 per vessel per day against $10,212 per vessel per day during the same period in 2013 corresponding to a decrease of 26%.


Voyage expenses

Voyage expenses increased by $0.2 million to $0.9 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2014 from $0.7 million during the respective period in 2013. Voyage expenses during the third quarter of 2014 included approximately $0.6 million, attributed to the cost of bunkers consumed during periods that our vessels were travelling seeking employment, against $0.4 million during the same period in 2013.


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 8% to $2.4 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to $2.6 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

Amortization of fair value of time charter attached to vessels

Amortization of the fair value of the time charter attached to vessels during both the three month period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $0.2 million and it was referred to the fair value of the time charter attached to the vessel 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 charter.


Gain on derivative financial instruments

Gain or loss on derivative financial instruments referred to the changes on the fair market value of our interest swap agreements, the valuation of which was affected by the prevailing interest rates at that time. Both our interest rate swap agreements entered back in 2008 of a total notional amount of $25.0 million, reached their maturity during November 2013.


Interest expense and finance costs

Interest expense and finance costs decreased by $0.4 million to $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2014 from $0.9 million during the respective period in 2013, mainly due to the termination of both our five year swap agreements during November 2013 and the sharp decrease in our average debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2014 of $83.8 million compared to the average debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2013 of $95.3 million. The weighted average interest rate on our debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2014 reached 2.08% compared to 3.39% during the same period last year including the effect from our interest rate swap agreements in effect at that time.


Nine month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2013

Total comprehensive income for the first nine months of the year 2014 amounted to $37 thousand or $0.02 basic loss per share based on 10,232,145 weighted average number of shares. �If adjusted for the $1.7 million impairment loss, total adjusted comprehensive income for the period becomes $1.8 million or 0.15 basic earnings per share.

Total comprehensive income for the nine months of the year 2013 amounted to $1.4 million or $0.12 basic earnings per share based on 10,213,366 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 $2.4 million or $0.22 basic earnings per share.

Amendment to the Credit Suisse revolving credit facility

During April 2014, the company reached an agreement with Credit Suisse on permanently revising certain terms of our credit facility as listed below:


The company to maintain cash and cash equivalents of not less than $5.0 million (instead of at least $10.0 million �minimum liquidity requirement�) conditional to the company not declaring and paying dividends to common shareholders. In the event of dividend payment, the minimum liquidity requirement will increase to $7.0 million and will have to be met prior to the subject payment and during a continuous period of at least three months following such payment. Past this minimum period, we are entitled to switch to the $5.0 million minimum liquidity requirement.


From March 31, 2014 onwards the facility to bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.20%.


The company is prohibited from paying dividends to the holders of Series A preferred shares in an amount that will exceed $0.5 million per fiscal year when the liquidity is below the $7.0 million threshold.


Reduced the minimum liquidity requirement of the DVB Bank Loan

During the second quarter of 2014, DVB Bank agreed to temporarily reduce its minimum liquidity requirement to $5.0 million (instead of the lesser of $10.0 million and $1.0 million per vessel owned by Globus) valid until December 31, 2014 subject to the company not declaring and paying dividends to common shareholders. �


As of September 30, 2014, our cash and bank balances and bank deposits were $6.0 million and we had $2.2 million of undrawn committed borrowing facility with respect to the Firment Credit Facility agreement. Our outstanding debt was $84.2 million gross of unamortized debt discount.


Major vessel repairs

Our vessel m/v Moon Globe was dry-docked during the second quarter of the year 2014 and m/v Sky Globe was dry-docked during November 2014. We do not anticipate any of our vessels to be dry docked during the remaining of the year 2014. Generally we budget 20 days per dry-docking per vessel, actual length varies 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 dry-docking 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 but excluding days during which vessels are seeking employment.

(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.
