FIRST QUARTER 2021
27 May 2021
FRONTLINE LTD. REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2021
Frontline Ltd. (the “Company” or “Frontline”), today reported unaudited results for the three months ended March 31, 2021:
Highlights
• |
Net income of $28.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021.
|
• |
Adjusted net income of $8.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021.
|
• |
Reported total operating revenues of $194.0 million for the first quarter of 2021.
|
• |
Reported spot TCEs for VLCCs, Suezmax and LR2 tankers in the first quarter of 2021 were $19,000, $15,200 and $12,000 per day, respectively.
|
• |
For the second quarter of 2021, we estimate spot TCE on a load-to-discharge basis of $18,100 contracted for 70%
of vessel days for VLCCs, $13,600 contracted for 63% of vessel days for Suezmax tankers and $14,200 contracted for 59% of vessel days for LR2 tankers. We expect the spot TCEs for the full second quarter of 2021 to be lower than the TCEs
currently contracted, due to the impact of ballast days at the end of the second quarter as well as current freight rates.
|
• |
In March and April 2021, respectively, the Company took delivery of the LR2 newbuildings Front Fusion and Front Future.
|
• |
In May 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition through resale of six latest generation ECO-type VLCC newbuilding contracts currently under construction at
the HHI shipyard in South Korea. Five vessels will be delivered during 2022 starting in Q1 and the last vessel in Q1 2023.
|
Lars H. Barstad, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Frontline Management AS commented:
“Despite challenging market conditions during the first quarter of 2021, Frontline manages to deliver a solid result. This reflects our business model, with high focus
on efficiency, quality, and cost throughout the organization. Frontline’s modern fleet allows for an agile approach to how we trade our ships, yielding returns above the key benchmarks. We are not out of the woods yet with regards to freight demand,
and the recent Covid-19 situation in Asia is a concern. We are seeing promising oil demand figures from Europe, US, and China and OPEC, EIA, and IEA maintain their very firm demand growth expectations for the second half of 2021, but short-term the
freight market continues to be challenged. We are very excited about our acquisition of six VLCCs being built at Hyundai Heavy Industries in Korea. These high-quality vessels will be delivered at a time when oil demand is expected to have normalized
and the Global economy is running on full steam. The fundamentals of the tanker market remain firm, with an historic low order book and a significant part of the fleet challenged by tightening environmental regulations.”

The estimated average daily cash breakeven rates are the daily TCE rates the vessels must earn in order to cover operating expenses including dry
docks, repayments of loans, interest on loans, bareboat hire, time charter hire and net general and administrative expenses for the remainder of the year.
Spot estimates are provided on a load-to-discharge basis, whereby the Company recognizes revenues over time ratably from commencement of cargo loading until completion
of discharge of cargo. The rates reported are for all days up until the last contracted discharge of cargo for each vessel in the quarter. The actual rates to be earned in the second quarter of 2021 will depend on the number of additional days that
we can contract, and more importantly the number of additional days that each vessel is laden. Therefore, a high number of ballast days at the end of the quarter will limit the amount of additional revenues to be booked on a load-to-discharge basis.
Ballast days are days when a vessel is sailing without cargo and therefore, we are unable to recognize revenues. Furthermore, when a vessel remains uncontracted at the end of the quarter, the Company will recognize certain costs during the
uncontracted days up until the end of the period, whereas if a vessel is contracted, then certain costs can be deferred and recognized over the load-to-discharge period.
The recognition of revenues on a load-to-discharge basis results in revenues being recognized over fewer days, but at a higher rate for those days. Over the life of a
voyage there is no difference in the total revenues and costs to be recognized as compared to a discharge-to-discharge basis.
When expressing TCE per day the Company uses the total available days, net of off hire and not just the number of days the vessel is laden.
First Quarter 2021 Results
The Company reports net income attributable to the Company of $28.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared with net loss of $9.2 million in the previous
quarter. The adjusted net income attributable to the Company2 was $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared with net loss of $20.2 million in the previous quarter. The adjustments in
the first quarter of 2021 consist of a $15.7 million gain on derivatives, a $3.1 million unrealized gain on marketable securities, a $1.2 million amortization of acquired time charters and a $0.1 million share of results of associated companies. The
increase from the previous quarter was driven by a decrease in ship operating expenses of $11.0 million mainly as a result of lower drydocking costs, an increase in our time charter equivalent earnings from $94.8 million in the previous quarter to
$101.6 million in the current quarter due to higher TCE rates, primarily on our VLCCs and Suezmax tankers, as well as a $11.2 million decrease in other costs.

and related per share amounts, which are not measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP (“non-GAAP”). See Appendix 1 for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.
The Fleet
As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s fleet consisted of 68 vessels, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 12.3 million DWT:
(i) |
61 vessels owned by the Company (15 VLCCs, 27 Suezmax tankers, 19 LR2/Aframax tankers);
|
(ii) |
two VLCCs that are under finance leases;
|
(iii) |
one vessel chartered in from an unrelated third party; and
|
(iv) |
four vessels that are under the Company’s commercial management (two Suezmax tankers and two Aframax tankers)
|
In March 2021, the Company took delivery of the LR2 tanker, Front Fusion, from SWS.
In March 2021, the Company redelivered one VLCC to an unrelated third party at the end of the charter-in agreement.
In May 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition through resale of six latest generation ECO-type VLCC newbuilding contracts. The six VLCCs are
currently under construction at the HHI shipyard in South Korea and are being acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $565.8 million, including an estimated $25.7 million in additions and upgrades to the standard specifications. The vessels are
designed to operate on different fuels, including Biofuel, have the potential to be converted or retrofitted to consume fuel such as LNG or Ammonia and consequently there is an ability to cut CO2 emissions to zero when technology, logistics and the
regulatory framework allows for it. The newbuildings will also be fitted with Exhaust Gas Scrubber technology, high end Anti Fouling systems, equipped with Digital Energy Performance solutions as well as being compliant with specific Exxon Mobile
lightering requirements to allow for maximum trading flexibility.
The delivery schedule is very attractive with five vessels delivering during 2022 starting in Q1 and the last vessel in Q1 2023.
The payment profile for this transaction means that the largest portion of the instalments on each vessel will be made on delivery of each vessel. Frontline intends to
meet the financing of this acquisition with existing borrowing facilities and intends to establish long term financing closer to delivery of the vessels.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had entered into fixed rate time charter-out contracts for five Suezmax tankers to a subsidiary of Trafigura Group Pte Ltd
("Trafigura") on three-year time charters commencing in August 2019, at a daily base rate of $28,400 with a 50% profit share above the base rate. As of March 31, 2021, the charters have remaining contractual periods of approximately one year and five
months.
Newbuilding Program
As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s newbuilding program consisted of three LR2 tankers; one was delivered in April 2021, and two are expected to be delivered in
September and October 2021, respectively.
As of March 31, 2021, total instalments of $42.1 million had been paid in connection with the Company’s remaining newbuilding program, and remaining commitments
amounted to $99.8 million, all of which is expected to be paid in 2021.
In November 2020, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility in an amount of up to $133.7 million with CEXIM and Sinosure to partially finance the
remaining cost of $99.8 million for the three LR2 tankers remaining under construction.
Corporate Update
Despite the Company’s positive results, the Board of Directors has decided to use its discretion and not pay a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2021 due to the
uncertain and evolving nature of near-term expectations. The Board of Directors remains committed to returning value to its shareholders through dividends, and the amount and timing of any future dividend payments will be based on both the Company’s
results and its market expectations.
The Company had 197,692,321 ordinary shares outstanding as of March 31, 2021. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic
earnings per share for the first quarter of 2021 was 197,692,321.
Financing Update
In February 2021, the Company extended the terms of its senior unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $275.0 million with an affiliate of Hemen Holding Ltd. by
12 months to May 2022. $215.0 million remains available and undrawn under this facility as of March 31, 2021.
In March 2021, the Company drew down $33.4 million under its senior secured term loan facility with CEXIM and Sinosure entered into in November 2020 to partially
finance the delivery of the LR2 tanker Front Fusion from SWS. The facility has a tenor of 12 years, carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin in line with the Company's other loan facilities and has an amortization profile of 17 years counting
from delivery date from the yard.
Covid-19 Update
The first quarter of 2021 has seen second and third waves of the Covid-19 pandemic in various parts of the world. We have seen a significant spike in infections in the
Philippines, reflected by 10% of our quarantine facility being occupied by seafarers who have been found Covid-19 positive on PCR tests. India’s current outbreak with more than 400,000 infected and 4,000 deaths reported daily, is the worst seen so
far in the pandemic. The surge observed currently has led to new restrictions being imposed on travel and stringent requirements to be met to be able to perform crew changes. As an example, Singapore has enforced that crew must hold a negative PCR
test in order to disembark which greatly limits the opportunity to perform crew changes there. Similar restrictions have been imposed elsewhere.
Costs associated with travel remain high as commercial flight operations have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Local governments have also restricted movement of
people by limiting the number of flights permitted and many require a period of quarantine. Covid-19 related additional costs were $1.4 million for the quarter, with $1.0 million for quarantine facilities and PCR tests during crew changes and an
additional $0.4 million for flights, transportation and overlapping wages for 700 seafarers repatriated.
Frontline remains committed to ensuring crew changes take place and have taken a responsible approach throughout the pandemic, balancing safety with taking
opportunities to execute crew changes. A crucial part of the global drive to overcome the pandemic is vaccines. Our technical department has been monitoring the availability of vaccines for seafarers and whilst few countries have specific vaccine
drives for seafarers, commercially some vaccines are becoming available in some parts of the world. The focus for the next quarter will be to explore such avenues and take strategic advantage of them.
ESG Update
During the last year, we initiated our energy efficiency project: “Decarbonization journey towards IMO 2030- 2050”. The purpose of this
project is to provide Frontline with a solid understanding of our options, both now and in the near future, on how to further optimize our operations and fleet towards more energy efficient and sustainable operations applying a systematic approach.
DNV GL has been appointed to assist us throughout this project. By the end of 2021, we intend to have fully digitalized our ship performance data into our digital monitoring platform Veracity, set targets with
associated KPIs on energy efficiency both for the short and long-term and established a strategy on the implementation of alternative fuels.
The first quarter of 2021 has continued to be challenging due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has highlighted the importance of solid procedures and management
systems. Varied infection control regulations and procedures between jurisdictions has made crew changes difficult for the entire sector, leaving many stranded seafarers working aboard ships beyond the expiry of their contracts. The potential
implications of this situation include negative consequences for both the mental and physical health of seafarers. Recognizing our responsibility to improve the situation, Frontline signed the Neptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew
Change.
Tanker Market Update
Global oil consumption averaged 94.8 million barrels per day ("mbpd") during the first quarter of 2021 according to EIA, only 0.7 mbpd lower than the first quarter of
2020. Global oil supply on the other hand averaged at 92.7 mbpd, close to 8 mbpd lower year on year. Throughout the first quarter of 2021, EIA estimate inventory draws of 2.1 mbpd on average. OECD commercial inventories of oil was at the end of the
quarter in line with levels seen in 2019, pre Covid-19.
All the key commodity markets have continued to strengthen during the first quarter of 2021, reflecting the expectations of a firm recovery for the global economy
during 2021. Global GDP is expected to grow by 6.0% this year.
In early April 2021, OPEC+ members reached an agreement to add a total of 2.1 mbpd of oil production gradually between May and July. This includes Saudi Arabia
agreeing to roll back its voluntary cuts that have been implemented since February. The tanker market is challenging at the time of writing, and for how long the markets need to grind at these levels is uncertain. The additional barrels from OPEC+
between May and July are positive for the tanker sector, and supportive to VLCCs in particular, which have felt the brunt of the OPEC+ cuts.
Asset prices have appreciated throughout the first quarter of 2021, primarily fueled by extensive ordering in the Container segment, and increased activity on LNGC.
Steel prices, being a key component in ship building, has also increased dramatically throughout the period. According to industry sources, yards are now to a large extent fully employed until the end of 2023 for large tankers. This has triggered
higher activity and prices in the secondhand market.
The outlook for the tanker market continues to look constructive. The recent increase in Covid-19 infections and recent lock downs in parts of Asia, and in particular
India is a concern, but seem to be countered by continued positive developments in China, and the gradual opening of Covid-19 related lockdowns in the western hemisphere, in particular in the US.
As we are sailing into a period where oil demand is expected to rise strongly, as a consequence of an anticipated global economic recovery from the pandemic, closely
followed by increased oil supply, tanker markets should recover firmly. Frontline is ideally positioned to capitalize on the anticipated recovery, having a modern, spot exposed, fuel efficient fleet.

In December 2020, the Company sold 1.3 million shares in GOGL for proceeds of $6.2 million. At the same time, the Company entered into a forward contract to repurchase
1.3 million shares in GOGL in March 2021 for $6.2 million. As partial settlement of the contract in March 2021, the Company entered into a new forward contract to repurchase the shares in June 2021 for $9.8 million and as such received a net cash

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We transact business with the following related parties, being companies in which Hemen (an affiliate and the Company's largest shareholder) and companies associated

In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company chartered two of its vessels to an affiliate of Hemen, of which one was a time charter with an initial term of 8
months. The Company recognized revenue of $0.4 million in relation to these charters in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The Company accounts for its 15% of the share capital of TFG Marine under the equity method. The Company has also entered into a bunker supply arrangement with TFG
Marine, under which it has paid $48.0 million to TFG Marine in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $14.6 million remained due as at March 31, 2021.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

month for delivery between January 2021 to December 2021. The contract obliges the Company to purchase and take delivery of the physical fuel at $232 per MT. As of March 31, 2021, the remaining commitments amounted to $26.9 million, all of which is

$0.1 million excluding installation costs, due in 2021.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company has agreed to provide a $50.0 million guarantee in respect of the performance of its subsidiaries, and two subsidiaries of an
affiliate of Hemen, under a bunker supply arrangement with TFG Marine. As of March 31, 2021 there are no amounts payable under this guarantee. In addition, should TFG Marine be required to provide a parent company guarantee to its bunker suppliers or
finance providers then for any guarantee that is provided by the Trafigura Group and becomes payable Frontline shall pay a pro rata amount based on its share of the equity in TFG Marine. The maximum liability under this guarantee is $6.0 million and
there are no amounts payable under this guarantee as at March 31, 2021.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April 2021, the Company took delivery of the LR2 tanker Front Future from SWS and drew down $33.4 million under its senior secured term loan facility with CEXIM and
Sinosure to partially finance the delivery.
In April 2021, the Company purchased 55,959 shares in GOGL resulting from the exercise of subscription rights in the subsequent offering for approximately $0.4
million.
In May 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition through resale of six latest generation ECO-type VLCC newbuilding contracts. The six VLCCs are
currently under construction at the HHI shipyard in South Korea and are being acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $565.8 million. Five vessels are due for delivery during 2022 starting in the first quarter, and the last vessel in due for
delivery in the first quarter of 2023. The payment profile for this transaction means that the largest portion of the instalments on each vessel will be made on delivery of each vessel. Frontline intends to meet the financing of this acquisition with
existing borrowing facilities and intends to establish long term financing closer to delivery of the vessels. In May 2021, the Company drew down $50 million under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $275.0 million with an
affiliate of Hemen Holding Ltd. to partially finance the acquisition. $165.0 million remains available and undrawn under this facility subsequent to the draw down.
APPENDIX I - Non-GAAP measures
Reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) attributable to the Company
This press release describes adjusted net income attributable to the Company and related per share amounts, which are not measures prepared in
accordance with US GAAP (“non-GAAP”). We believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a means of analyzing and understanding the Company's ongoing operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Total operating revenues to Time Charter Equivalent and Time Charter Equivalent per day
Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, we use TCE as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time
charter. We define TCE as operating revenues less voyage expenses and commission, administrative income, finance lease interest income and other non-vessel related income. Under time charter agreements, voyage costs, such as bunker fuel, canal and
port charges and commissions are borne and paid by the charterer whereas under voyage charter agreements, voyage costs are borne and paid by the owner. TCE is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period
changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters and time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Time charter equivalent, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, provides
additional meaningful information in conjunction with operating revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, because it assists management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating their
financial performance, regardless of whether a vessel has been employed on a time charter or a voyage charter.

Time charter equivalent per day
Time charter equivalent per day ("TCE rate" or "TCE per day") represents the weighted average daily TCE income of vessels of different sizes in our fleet
TCE per day is a measure of the average daily income performance. Our method of calculating TCE per day is determined by dividing TCE by onhire days during a reporting
period. Onhire days are calculated on a vessel by vessel basis and represent the net of available days and offhire days for each vessel (owned or chartered in) in our possession during a reporting period. Available days for a vessel during a
reporting period is the number of days the vessel (owned or chartered in) is in our possession during the period. By definition, available days for an owned vessel equal the calendar days during a reporting period, unless the vessel is delivered by
the yard during the relevant period whereas available days for a chartered-in vessel equal the tenure in days of the underlying time charter agreement, pro-rated to the relevant reporting period if such tenure overlaps more than one reporting period.
Offhire days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel is in our possession during the period but is not operational as a result of unscheduled repairs, scheduled dry docking or special or intermediate surveys and
lay-ups, if any.
