GasLog Ltd. Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2014

Monaco, November 20, 2014, GasLog Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“GasLog” or “Group” or “Company”) (NYSE: GLOG), an international owner, operator and manager of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) carriers, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
�
Highlights
�
| • | Successfully completed first dropdown transaction of two vessels to GasLog Partners LP (“GasLog Partners” or the “Partnership” or the “MLP”) for a total of $328.0 million upon completion of the Partnership’s follow-on public offering. |
| � | � |

�
CEO Statement
�
Paul Wogan, Chief Executive Officer, stated “GasLog has made good progress this quarter as we continue to execute on our business plan resulting in a $0.02 increase per common share in our quarterly dividend. The dropdown of two ships into GasLog Partners creates value for our shareholders as we recycle capital through the MLP to grow our business. This initial transaction could increase the distribution received by GasLog from the MLP by approximately 15%, subject to MLP Board approval. It will also mean the payments to GasLog move into the first tier of incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”). This ensures that GasLog will obtain a greater share of future incremental cash distributions.
�
During the third quarter and in recent weeks, we have been encouraged by the increase in rates and the number of fixtures concluded in the short term market. During this period, PNG LNG informed us that they would extend the GasLog Chelsea charter for an additional 75 days at the same rate. We are delighted to continue to build our relationship with this charterer.
�
Whilst there has recently been significant volatility in global stock markets and commodity prices, GasLog has continued to perform strongly both from an operational and financial standpoint, with 14 of our 15 on-the-water vessels on long-term contracts. We remain well placed to grow the business further, through both newbuilding options and on-the-water acquisitions.”
�
Dividend Declaration
�
On November 19, 2014, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share payable on December 5, 2014 to shareholders of record as of December 1, 2014.
�
Investor Day 2014
�
The management of GasLog and GasLog Partners will be holding an Investor Day at the Pierre Hotel in New York on December 2, 2014, commencing at 14:00. For further details or to register for the event, please contact GasLog’s Investor Relations at [email protected].
�
Completion of GasLog Partners Dropdown Transaction
�
On August 14, 2014, GasLog announced that it had entered into an agreement with GasLog Partners to sell two vessels to the MLP for a total consideration of $328.0 million. The transaction was the first “dropdown” of vessels from GasLog to the MLP since its initial public offering and is in line with GasLog’s strategy to use the MLP as a vehicle to fund the future growth of the Company.
�
On September 29, 2014, GasLog Partners completed a follow-on public offering of 4,500,000 common units at a public offering price of $31.00 per unit. The net proceeds from this offering after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses were approximately $133.1 million. These proceeds were used to partially finance and complete the acquisition from GasLog of 100% of the ownership interest in GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd., the entities that own and charter 145,000 cbm LNG carriers, the Methane Rita Andrea and Methane Jane Elizabeth, respectively, and to prepay $25.0 million of debt secured by those vessels in October 2014.
�
Following the completion of the follow-on public offering and the acquisition, the Partnership’s management intends to recommend to its Board of Directors an increase in the quarterly distribution of between $0.05625 and $0.06250, an increase of approximately 15% above the existing minimum quarterly distribution. This annualized increase of between $0.225 and $0.250 per unit will become effective for the Partnership’s cash distribution with respect to the quarter ending December 31, 2014. Any such increase will be conditional upon, amongst other things, the approval of such increase by the Partnership’s Board of Directors and the absence of any material adverse developments or potentially attractive opportunities that would make such an increase inadvisable. This recommended increase in distribution will, if approved by the Board of Directors of the Partnership, meet or exceed the first IDR threshold, resulting in higher incremental distributions for GasLog.

(1) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures, and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for GasLog’s financial results presented in accordance with IFRS. For definitions and reconciliations of these measurements to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, please refer to Exhibit II at the end of this press release.
�
Profit was $31.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($9.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). This increase is mainly attributable to the increase in revenues, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation expense, and net financial costs. These variations resulted from the deliveries of the GasLog Skagen, the GasLog Chelsea, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris on July 25, 2013, October 4, 2013, December 9, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively and the deliveries of the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Lydon Volney, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the Methane Heather Sally, and the Methane Alison Victoria acquired from a subsidiary of the BG Group plc (“BG Group”) in April and June 2014 as well as the new financing obtained in relation to the delivery of the aforementioned vessels. These deliveries resulted in an increase in operating days. There were 1,325 operating days during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to 527 operating days during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
�
Adjusted Profit(1) was $26.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($11.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013) after excluding the effects of the non-cash gain/loss on swaps and the foreign exchange gains/losses.
�
EPS was $0.32 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($0.15 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). The increase in EPS is attributable to the increase in Profit, partially offset by the increase in the weighted average number of shares resulting from the equity offerings and the private placement completed in 2014.
�
Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.26 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($0.18 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). The increase in Adjusted EPS is attributable to the increase in Adjusted Profit, partially offset by the increase in the weighted average number of shares resulting from the equity offerings and the private placement completed in 2014.
�
EBITDA(1) was $68.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($30.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). The increase in EBITDA is attributable to the increase in revenues from the larger fleet, partially offset by the increase in vessel operating and supervision costs associated with having more vessels on the water and the increase in general and administrative expenses.
�
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $68.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($30.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013).
�
Revenues were $99.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($43.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in operating days mentioned above.
�
Vessel operating and supervision costs were $20.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($8.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). The increase is primarily attributable to the operating expenses following the deliveries of the GasLog Skagen, the GasLog Chelsea, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris on July 25, 2013, October 4, 2013, December 9, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively, and the six vessels acquired from BG Group in the first half of 2014.
�
Depreciation of fixed assets was $21.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($8.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). The increase is mainly attributable to the depreciation of the three vessels brought into operation at various dates in 2013 and operated for the whole third quarter of 2014 and the seven vessels brought into operation during 2014.
�
General and administrative expenses were $10.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($4.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). The increase derived mainly from the increase in personnel related expenses related to the growth of the Group, the increase in legal and professional fees related to increased audit and other professional services, the increase in non-cash equity-settled compensation expense, the increase in foreign exchange losses and the increase in travel and accommodation expenses related to the Group’s expansion in London and New York.
�
Financial costs were $17.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($9.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). The increase is mainly attributable to an increase of $7.8 million in interest expense deriving from higher weighted average outstanding debt and realized loss on cash flow hedges.
�
Gain on swaps was $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 ($4.3 million loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2013). The increase in gain is mainly attributable to an increase of $7.4 million in gain from mark-to-market valuation of our interest rate swaps which are carried at fair value through profit or loss, partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in loss that was reclassified from equity to profit or loss statement related to the interest rate swaps for which hedge accounting was discontinued and an increase of $1.5 million in realized loss from interest rate swaps held for trading.
�
For a detailed discussion of GasLog’s financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, please refer to the Financial Report for the third quarter of 2014, furnished on Form 6-K to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Q3 6-K”) at http://www.gaslogltd.com/investor-relations/sec-filings.
�
Contracted Charter Revenues
�
GasLog’s contracted charter revenues are estimated to increase from $145.4 million for the fiscal year 2013 to $424.2 million for the fiscal year 2017, based on contracts in effect as of September 30, 2014 for the eight LNG carriers delivered to us in 2010, 2013 and through September 30, 2014; the six LNG carriers acquired from a subsidiary of BG Group in April 2014 and June 2014; and the four LNG carriers on order for which we have secured time charters, but does not include any extension options. The total future firm contracted revenue stands at $2.7 billion, an increase of approximately $610 million from September 30, 2013. These amounts include the five vessels now owned by GasLog Partners. For further details please refer to the Q3 6-K.

Liquidity and Financing
�
As of September 30, 2014, GasLog had $295.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $127.2 million was held in time deposits and the balance in current accounts. Moreover, as of September 30, 2014, GasLog had $57.9 million held in time deposits with an initial duration of more than three months but less than a year that have been classified as short-term investments.
�
As of September 30, 2014, GasLog had an aggregate of $1.7 billion of indebtedness outstanding under ten credit agreements, of which $135.3 million is repayable within one year, including $42.2 million under the revolving credit facility and a $25.0 million prepayment made on October 9, 2014 under the Citibank facility drawn on April 9, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, GasLog had $155.3 million outstanding under the NOK bond agreement that is payable in June 2018.
�
On November 14, 2014, GasLog signed an amendment to its NOK bond agreement to revise the covenants to reflect GasLog’s growth and the anticipated growth of the MLP. Under the amended agreement (a) GasLog is permitted to make distributions (which include share buybacks) up to an aggregate maximum, for the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 of $0.70/share, $1.00/share, $1.10/share, $1.20/share and $1.30/share, respectively, provided that total indebtedness divided by total capitalization (giving pro forma effect for the distribution) does not exceed 67.5%, the ratio of EBITDA over debt service obligations on a trailing 12 months’ basis is no less than 115.0% and no event of default would result from such distribution, (b) the amount of debt or committed debt availability that GasLog provides to the MLP cannot exceed $75.0 million, and (c) GasLog has agreed to pay a one-time fee of 1.0% of the face value of the Bond.
�
As of September 30, 2014, there is an undrawn amount of $7.8 million from the revolving facility of GAS-two Ltd. which is available to be drawn under certain conditions. In addition, there is a loan facility with an aggregate undrawn amount of $292.0 million available that will be used to finance a portion of the contract prices of two of our newbuildings that are expected to be delivered in Q4 2014 and Q1 2015 subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
�
In connection with the dropdown of the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth on September 29, 2014, GasLog Partners completed a follow-on public offering of 4,500,000 common units at a public offering price of $31.00 per unit raising approximately $133.1 million, net of expenses.
�
In connection with the closing of the Partnership’s acquisition of the two entities that own the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth on September 29, 2014, GasLog entered into a supplemental deed to the facility agreement dated April 1, 2014 (“BG1 Facility”) with Citibank that, among other things, permitted the Partnership (or its subsidiary) to acquire GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd. from GasLog and required, as a condition precedent to such acquisition, the Partnership and GasLog Partners Holdings LLC to guarantee the obligors’ obligations under the BG1 Facility (“MLP Guarantees”).
�
On November 12, 2014, the Partnership entered into a credit agreement with various lenders for a credit facility for up to $450.0 million (the “New Credit Facility”) to refinance the existing debt facilities of GAS-three Ltd., GAS-four Ltd., GAS-five Ltd., GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd. The New Credit Facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin and will be payable in 20 equal quarterly payments of $5.63 million each and a balloon payment of $337.5 million together with the final quarterly payment. On November 19, 2014, the indebtedness accrued under the BG1 Facility related to the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth, was repaid and the MLP Guarantees were released.
�
As of September 30, 2014, GasLog’s commitments for capital expenditures are related to the ten LNG carriers on order, which have a gross aggregate contract price of approximately $2.0 billion. As of September 30, 2014, the total remaining balance of the contract prices of the ten newbuildings was $1.8 billion that will be funded with available cash, cash from operations, existing debt and other financings we may enter into.
�
GasLog has hedged 62.6% of its expected floating interest rate exposure at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.5% (including margin) as of September 30, 2014.
�
Fleet Update
�
As of September 30, 2014 GasLog has eight newbuildings on order at Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., (“Samsung”) and two newbuildings on order at Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. (“Hyundai”). Our vessels presently under construction are on schedule and within budget, with one vessel scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2014.
�
LNG Market Update and Outlook
�
We believe that the long-term outlook for LNG shipping remains positive. There were a number of important developments on U.S. LNG projects during the quarter, highlighting North America’s increasing prominence in the LNG production industry. The 12.0 million tons per annum (“mtpa”) Cameron LNG project took Final Investment Decision (“FID”) whilst Freeport LNG (13.2mtpa) and Cove Point (5.8mtpa) became the third and fourth projects to receive Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) Approval (after Sabine Pass and Cameron LNG). We expect a number of other large U.S. projects to take FID over the next 12 months, including Freeport (Q4 2014), Cove Point, Lake Charles and Corpus Christi (all 2015).
�
In late 2014 and through 2015, we expect the next wave of LNG projects to commence production in Australia. BG’s Curtis project (4.0mtpa) is expected to commence production later this year followed by Gladstone (8.0mtpa), Gorgon (16.0mtpa) and Australia Pacific (5.0mtpa) all delivering additional volumes of LNG to the market.
�
There is currently over 115.0mtpa of new LNG production capacity for which FID has been taken but where production has yet to commence. This supports our expectation that the medium to long-term outlook for LNG shipping is very positive.
�
During the quarter, there was a significant pick-up in activity in the shorter term market, leading to an increase in the number of fixtures. The high level of chartering and subsequent decrease in available vessels led to increasing rates especially for modern, cold vessels with a trading history.
�
GasLog’s strategy is to have its fleet largely contracted to high credit quality counterparties through 2014 and 2015 whilst at the same time having a small number of vessels open to the spot market. The consolidated GasLog fleet (including the five vessels owned by GasLog Partners) currently has fourteen of its fifteen on-the-water vessels on long-term contracts. The GasLog Chelsea is on a minimum 7 month contract, which commenced in May 2014 and which, after quarter end was extended for a further 75 days. Looking ahead, we anticipate significant opportunities to capture upside in the market in the coming years, particularly as we expect the ramp up of new liquefaction capacity around the world to outstrip the number of ships currently on order.
�
Through the delivery of our newbuilding program and the potential to add further on-the-water vessels, we believe GasLog is very well placed to take advantage of the continuing growth in the LNG industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
�
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, gain/loss on swaps, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before foreign exchange gains/losses. Adjusted Profit represents earnings before non-cash gain/loss on swaps that includes (a) unrealized gain/loss on swaps held for trading, (b) loss at inception, (c) recycled loss of cash flow hedges reclassified to profit or loss and (d) ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and foreign exchange gains/losses. Adjusted EPS represents earnings per share before non-cash gain/loss on swaps as defined above and foreign exchange gains/losses. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. We believe that including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS assists our management and investors in (i) understanding and analyzing the results of our operating and business performance, (ii) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (iii) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to continue to hold our common shares. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, interest, gain/loss on swaps, taxes, depreciation and amortization, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, foreign exchange gains/losses and in the case of Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS, non-cash gain/loss on swaps and foreign exchange gains/losses, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods.
�
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior to profit, profit from operations, earnings per share or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Some of these limitations include the fact that they do not reflect (i) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) changes in, or cash requirements for our working capital needs and (iii) the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows and other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
�
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the excluded items. Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in the shipping or other industries.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
�
The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Unless otherwise specified herein, references to “GasLog”, the “Company”, the “Group”, “we”, “our” or “us” shall include GasLog Ltd. and its subsidiaries. You should read this section in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For additional information relating to our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation, please see our Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014. This discussion includes forward-looking statements which, although based on assumptions that we consider reasonable, are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or conditions to differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. See also discussion in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
�
Forward-Looking Statements
�
The disclosure and analysis set forth in this report includes assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events in a number of places, particularly in relation to our operations, cash flows, financial position, plans, strategies, business prospects, changes and trends in our business and the markets in which we operate. These statements are intended as “forward-looking statements”. In some cases, predictive, future-tense or forward-looking words such as “believe”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project”, “forecast”, “plan”, “potential”, “may”, “should”, “could” and “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.
�
We caution that these and other forward-looking statements included in this report represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report and are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. Many of the forward-looking statements included in this report are based on our assumptions about factors that are beyond our ability to control or predict. Assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and these differences can be material. As a result, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur and our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on any forward-looking statements.
�
We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in our views or expectations or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Overview
�
We are an international owner, operator and manager of LNG carriers. Our wholly owned fleet consists of 20 LNG carriers, including 10 ships in operation, eight LNG carriers on order at Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. (“Samsung”) and 2 LNG carriers on order at Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“Hyundai”). GasLog is also the general and controlling partner in GasLog Partners LP (“GasLog Partners” or the “Partnership”), a publicly traded master limited partnership, which owns five LNG carriers. We currently manage and operate 21 LNG carriers including our 10 wholly owned ships in operation, the five ships contributed or sold to the Partnership, five ships owned by a subsidiary of BG Group plc (“BG Group”) and one additional LNG carrier in which we have a 25% interest. We are also supervising the construction of our newbuildings. We have secured multi-year and seasonal time charter contracts for nine of the operating ships, the five ships owned by the Partnership and four of our 10 newbuildings on order, while one of our ships is operating in the spot / short-term market. From September 30, 2014 these contracts are expected to provide total contracted revenue of $2.73 billion during their initial terms, which expire between 2015 and 2026.
�
In addition to our committed order book, we also secured additional fixed priced options from Samsung on two further 174,000 cbm newbuildings with delivery dates in 2017 and early 2018. If we exercise these options, Samsung has agreed to grant us two additional options. GasLog has also secured fixed priced options from Hyundai on four further 174,000 cbm newbuildings with delivery dates in late 2017 and during 2018. We also have a 25% interest in an additional ship, the Methane Nile Eagle, a 2007-built LNG carrier owned by Egypt LNG Shipping Ltd. (“Egypt LNG”) and technically managed by us. It is currently operating under a 20-year time charter to a subsidiary of BG Group. The information about our owned fleet presented in this report does not include our ownership interest in the Methane Nile Eagle.
�
We generate revenues by chartering our ships to customers on multi-year charters, seasonal time charters and spot / short-term charters and by providing technical ship management services, including crewing, training, maintenance, regulatory and classification compliance and health, safety, security and environmental (“HSSE”) management and reporting through our wholly owned subsidiary GasLog LNG Services Ltd. (“GasLog LNG Services”). Beginning on January 1, 2014, due to the growth in our owned fleet and the decrease in revenues and profit earned by GasLog LNG Services as a percentage of consolidated revenue and profit (representing approximately 8% and 7% of consolidated revenues and profit, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014), the Group’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) being the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Group’s operating results on a consolidated basis. As of December 31, 2013, the Group had two operating segments as the CODM was making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance on the base of the vessel ownership and the vessel management segments.
�
Recent Developments
�
Dividend Declaration
�
On November 19, 2014, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share payable on December 5, 2014 to shareholders of record as of December 1, 2014. The declaration and payment of dividends is at all times subject to the discretion of the board and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, restrictions in our credit facilities, the provisions of Bermuda law and such other factors as the board may deem relevant.
�
Master Limited Partnership (“MLP”) Units Initial Public Offering and Follow-on Public Offering
�
On May 12, 2014, GasLog Partners, a subsidiary of GasLog, completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) with the sale and issuance of 9,660,000 common units (including 1,260,000 units in relation to the over-allotment option exercised in full by the underwriters), resulting in gross proceeds of $202.86 million and representing a 48.2% ownership interest. Concurrently with the IPO, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership acquired a 100% ownership interest in GAS-three Ltd., GAS-four Ltd. and GAS-five Ltd. from GasLog, in exchange for (i) 162,358 common units and 9,822,358 subordinated units issued to GasLog representing a 49.8% ownership interest and all of the incentive distribution rights that entitle GasLog to increasing percentages of the cash that the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.43125 per unit per quarter, (ii) 400,913 general partner units issued to GasLog Partners GP LLC (the “general partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GasLog, representing a 2.0% general partner interest and (iii) $65.70 million of cash consideration paid directly to GasLog from the IPO proceeds.
| � |
In addition to the cash consideration of $65.70 million paid to GasLog, GasLog Partners used the net IPO proceeds of $186.03 million to (a) prepay $82.63 million of debt plus accrued interest of $0.42 million and (b) make a payment of $2.28 million (including $0.27 million accrued interest) to settle the mark-to-market loss on termination of one interest rate swap and reduction of a second interest rate swap in connection with the aforementioned debt prepayment. The balance of $35.00 million was retained by the Partnership for general corporate purposes.
�
On September 29, 2014, GasLog Partners completed a follow-on public offering of 4,500,000 common units at a public offering price of $31.00 per unit. The net proceeds from this offering after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses were $133.10 million. In connection with the offering, the Partnership’s general partner, a wholly owned subsidiary of GasLog, paid $2.85 million to GasLog Partners in exchange for 91,837 general partner units to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. The total proceeds to GasLog Partners of $135.95 million were used to partially finance the acquisition from GasLog of the 100% ownership interests in GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd., the entities that each own the 145,000 cbm LNG carriers the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $328.00 million and to prepay $25.00 million of debt secured by those carriers in October 2014.
�
As of September 30, 2014, GasLog holds a 42.5% interest in the Partnership and, as a result of its ownership of the general partner, and the fact that general partner elects the majority of the Partnership’s directors in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, GasLog has the ability to control the Partnership’s affairs and policies. Consequently, GasLog Partners is consolidated in the Group’s financial statements.
�
GasLog Equity Offerings
�
On January 22, 2014, GasLog completed a follow-on public offering of 10,925,000 common shares, including 1,425,000 common shares issued upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. The public offering price was $15.75 per share. The Company also sold 2,317,460 common shares at the public offering price in a private placement to certain of its directors and officers and one of its major shareholders. The net proceeds from the public offering and the concurrent private placement, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were $199.02 million, which were used to partially finance the acquisition of the first three ships acquired from a subsidiary of BG Group.
�
On April 16, 2014, GasLog completed a second follow-on public offering of 4,887,500 common shares, including 637,500 common shares issued upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. The public offering price was $23.75 per share. The net proceeds from the public offering after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses, were approximately $109.94 million, which were used to partially finance the acquisition of the additional three ships acquired from a subsidiary of BG Group.

In connection with the Partnership’s IPO, GasLog obtained certain waivers and consents from its lenders and amended two of its credit facilities. The credit facility entered into by GAS-three Ltd. and GAS-four Ltd. was amended to, among other things, permit GasLog to contribute GAS-three Ltd. and GAS-four Ltd. to the Partnership and add GasLog Partners Holdings LLC, as a guarantor. The credit facility entered into by GAS-five Ltd. and GasLog’s subsidiary GAS-six Ltd. was amended to among other things, (1) divide the facility into two separate facilities on substantially the same terms as the initial facility, with one of the facilities executed by GAS-five Ltd. for the portion allocated to the GasLog Sydney, (2) permit GasLog’s contribution of GAS-five Ltd. to the Partnership and (3) add GasLog Partners Holdings LLC as a guarantor and remove GasLog Carriers Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of GasLog, as guarantor in connection with the GAS-five Ltd. facility. Further to these amendments, the Partnership prepaid $82.63 million of the new GAS-five Ltd. facility with proceeds of the IPO.
�
In connection with the closing of the Partnership’s acquisition of the two entities that own the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth on September 29, 2014, GasLog entered into a supplemental deed to the facility agreement dated April 1, 2014 (“BG1 Facility”) with Citibank that, among other things, permitted the Partnership (or its subsidiary) to acquire GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd. from GasLog and required, as a condition precedent to such acquisition, the Partnership and GasLog Partners Holdings LLC to guarantee the obligors obligations under the BG1 Facility (“MLP Guarantees”).
�
On May 2, 2014, GasLog closed a follow-on issue of the Norwegian bond of NOK 500 million (or $83.61 million based on the exchange rate on closing date). All interest and principal payments have been swapped into USD at an effective interest cost of 5.99% per annum. The proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including financing for GasLog’s newbuilding program. The total outstanding balance of the Norwegian bond after the follow-on issue amounts to NOK 1 billion. In addition, on July 7, 2014, our senior unsecured bond of NOK 1 billion which matures on June 27, 2018, was listed on the Oslo Bors under the ticker GLOG01.

On November 14, 2014, GasLog signed an amendment to its NOK bond agreement to revise the covenants to reflect GasLog’s growth and the anticipated growth of the MLP. Under the amended agreement (a) GasLog is permitted to make distributions (which include share buybacks) up to an aggregate maximum, for the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 of $0.70/share, $1.00/share, $1.10/share, $1.20/share and $1.30/share, respectively, provided that total indebtedness divided by total capitalization (giving pro forma effect for the distribution) does not exceed 67.5%, the ratio of EBITDA over debt service obligations on a trailing 12 months’ basis is no less than 115.0% and no event of default would result from such distribution, (b) the amount of debt or committed debt availability that GasLog provides to the MLP cannot exceed $75.00 million, and (c) GasLog has agreed to pay a one-time fee of 1.0% of the face value of the Bond.
�
On November 12, 2014, the Partnership entered into a credit agreement with various lenders for a credit facility for up to $450.00 million (the “New Credit Facility”) to refinance the existing debt facilities of GAS-three Ltd., GAS-four Ltd., GAS-five Ltd., GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd. The New Credit Facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin and will be payable in 20 equal quarterly payments of $5.63 million each and a balloon payment of $337.50 million together with the final quarterly payment.

Fleet Update
�
In April and June, GasLog completed the acquisition of six 145,000 cbm steam-powered LNG carriers from a subsidiary of BG Group for an aggregate cost of $936.00 million (of which $930.00 million was paid at closing of these deliveries while the payment of the remaining $6.00 million will be made upon receipt of the relevant spares and before the end of the initial term of the charter party agreements) and chartered those vessels back to Methane Services Limited (“MSL”) a subsidiary of BG Group for average initial terms of six years. The time charters back to MSL for the vessels are staggered with terms of 5.5
| 2 |
years, 6 years and 6.5 years, so that the vessels do not redeliver at the same time. MSL has unilateral options to extend the term of the time charters for four of the ships for a period of either three or five years. The vessels acquired are the 2006 built Methane Rita Andrea, Methane Jane Elizabeth and Methane Lydon Volney, and the 2007 built Methane Shirley Elisabeth, Methane Heather Sally and Methane Alison Victoria. GasLog supervised the construction of all six vessels for BG Group and has provided technical management for the ships since delivery.
�
In May 2014, GAS-twenty two Ltd. and GAS-twenty three Ltd. entered into shipbuilding contracts with Samsung for the construction of two LNG carriers (174,000 cubic meters each). The vessels are expected to be delivered in the first and second half of 2017, respectively.
�
In June 2014, GAS-twenty four Ltd. and GAS-twenty five Ltd. entered into shipbuilding contracts with Hyundai for the construction of two LNG carriers (174,000 cubic meters each). The vessels are expected to be delivered in the second half of 2017.
�
On June 30, 2014, GasLog took delivery of the Solaris, a 155,000 cbm LNG carrier constructed by Samsung that commenced her seven year charter party agreement with Royal Dutch Shell plc (“Shell”).
�
On September 29, 2014 GasLog Partners purchased 100% of the ownership interests in GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiaries that own the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $328.00 million, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement entered into on August 14, 2014. As consideration for this acquisition, GasLog Partners paid to GasLog $118.20 million representing the difference between the $328.00 million aggregate purchase price and the $217.00 million of outstanding indebtedness of the acquired entities plus an adjustment of $7.20 million in order to maintain the agreed working capital position in the acquired entities of $2.00 million at the time of acquisition.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2014, we had an average of 14.0 ships operating in our owned fleet and an average of 20.0 ships operating under our technical management (including our 14.0 owned ships). During the three month period ended September 30, 2013, we had an average of 5.7 ships operating in our owned fleet and an average of 17.7 ships operating under our technical management (including our 5.7 owned ships).

Revenues:
�
Consolidated revenues increased by 130.22%, or $56.23 million, from $43.18 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 to $99.41 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in revenues by $21.47 million due to the deliveries of the GasLog Skagen, the GasLog Chelsea, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris on July 25, 2013, October 4, 2013, December 9, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively and a further increase in revenues of $36.29 million due to the deliveries of the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Lydon Volney, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the Methane Heather Sally, and the Methane Alison Victoria acquired from BG Group in April and June 2014. These deliveries resulted in an increase in operating days. There were 1,325 operating days during the three month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to 527 operating days during the same period ended September 30, 2013. The increase in consolidated revenues was partially offset by $0.35 million caused by the off-hire days due to damage to the propulsion system of the GasLog Singapore and damage to the propeller on the Methane Heather Sally. There was also a decrease of $1.19 million in revenues from technical management services mainly due to the decrease in the number of the managed vessels owned by third parties.
�
Vessel Operating and Supervision Costs:
�
Consolidated vessel operating and supervision costs increased by 152.23%, or $12.62 million, from $8.29 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 to $20.91 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to the operating expenses of the GasLog Skagen, the GasLog Chelsea, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris delivered on July 25, 2013, October 4, 2013, December 9, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively, and the six vessels acquired from BG Group in 2014.
�
Depreciation:
�
Consolidated depreciation increased by 155.07%, or $13.01 million, from $8.39 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 to $21.40 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in depreciation resulted from the deliveries of the GasLog Skagen, the GasLog Chelsea, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris on July 25, 2013, October 4, 2013, December 9, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively and the deliveries of the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Lydon Volney, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the Methane Heather Sally, and the Methane Alison Victoria acquired from BG Group in April and June 2014.
�
General and Administrative Expenses:
�
Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased by 128.67%, or $5.79 million, from $4.50 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 to $10.29 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is mainly attributable to a $1.78 million increase in legal fees, external assistance for Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) compliance as well as, an increase in personnel related expenses related to the growth of the Group of $1.50 million, an increase in foreign exchange losses of $0.70 million related to the significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates against the U.S. dollar mainly for cash held in Euros, an increase in equity-settled compensation expense of $0.38 million, an increase in travel and accommodation expenses of $0.37 million related to the Group’s expansion in London and New York, an increase in directors and officers insurance of $0.33 million mostly relating to the additional cost derived from the Partnership’s requirements, an increase in board of director’s fees of $0.18 million and an increase in various other expenses by $0.55 million.
�
Financial Costs:
�
Consolidated financial costs increased by 97.00%, or $8.73 million, from $9.00 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 to $17.73 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is attributable to an increase of $7.82 million in interest expense on loans and cash flow hedges. During the three month period ended September 30, 2014, we had an average of $1,991.18 million of outstanding indebtedness including our bond agreement, having an aggregate weighted average interest rate of 3.07%, and during the three month period ended September 30, 2013, we had an average of $852.80 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 3.59%. These weighted average interest rates include interest expense on loans and cash flow hedges and interest expense on bond and cross-currency swaps (“CCS”). The increase in financial costs was further affected by an increase in amortization of loan fees by $0.89 million attributable to the new financings.

Gain/(loss) on Swaps:
�
Consolidated gain on swaps increased by $5.69 million, from $4.28 million loss during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 to $1.41 million gain during the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in gain is attributable to an increase of $7.45 million in gain from mark-to-market valuation of our interest rate swaps which are carried at fair value through profit or loss, partially offset by an increase of $0.34 million in loss that was reclassified from equity to profit or loss statement related to the interest rate swaps for which hedge accounting was discontinued and an increase of $1.50 million in realized loss from interest rate swaps held for trading.
�
Profit for the Period:
�
Consolidated profit increased by 238.43%, or $21.84 million, from $9.16 million profit for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 to $31.00 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, as a result of the aforementioned factors.

Consolidated revenues increased by 134.65%, or $131.82 million, from $97.90 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $229.72 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in revenues by $79.86 million due to the deliveries of the GasLog Shanghai, the GasLog Santiago, the GasLog Sydney, the GasLog Skagen, the GasLog Chelsea, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris on January 28, 2013, March 25, 2013, May 30, 2013, July 25, 2013, October 4, 2013, December 9, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively and an increase in revenues by $55.76 million due to the deliveries of the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Lydon Volney, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the Methane Heather Sally, and the Methane Alison Victoria acquired from BG Group in April and June 2014. These deliveries resulted in an increase in operating days. There were 2,971 operating days during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to 1,171 operating days during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase in consolidated revenues was partially offset by $1.67 million caused by the off-hire days due to damage to the propulsion system of the GasLog Singapore and damage to the propeller on the Methane Heather Sally. There was also a decrease of $1.88 million in revenues from technical management services mainly due to the decrease in the managed vessels owned by third parties.
�
Vessel Operating and Supervision Costs:
�
Consolidated vessel operating and supervision costs increased by 174.69%, or $36.23 million, from $20.74 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $56.97 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to the operating expenses of the six vessels delivered in 2013, the Solaris delivered in 2014 and the six vessels acquired from BG Group in 2014. These deliveries resulted in the increase of the number of new employees hired in order to fulfill the requirements of the fleet growth, increased technical maintenance expenses due to the planned main engines overhauling for the two vessels delivered in 2010 and increased voyage expenses from the GasLog Chelsea whilst unemployed between the spot/short-term charters.
�
Depreciation:
�
Consolidated depreciation increased by 154.78%, or $29.44 million, from $19.02 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $48.46 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in depreciation resulted from the depreciation of the GasLog Shanghai, the GasLog Santiago, the GasLog Sydney, the GasLog Skagen, the GasLog Chelsea, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris delivered on January 28, 2013, March 25, 2013, May 30, 2013, July 25, 2013, October 4, 2013, December 9, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively and the deliveries of the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Lydon Volney, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the Methane Heather Sally, and the Methane Alison Victoria acquired from BG Group in April and June 2014.
�
General and Administrative Expenses:
�
Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased by 54.11%, or $8.62 million, from $15.93 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $24.55 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is mainly attributable to a $2.53 million increase in legal fees, external assistance for SOX compliance, as well as an increase in personnel related expenses related to the growth of the company of $2.04 million, an increase in equity-settled compensation expense of $0.98 million, an increase in foreign exchange losses of $0.74 million related to significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates against the U.S. dollar mainly for cash held in Euros, an increase in travel and accommodation expenses of $0.72 million related to the

Group’s expansion in London and New York, an increase in board of directors’ fees of $0.44 million mainly associated with the appointment of directors to the board of the GasLog Partners, an increase in directors and officers insurance of $0.37 million mostly relating to the additional cost derived from the Partnership’s requirements and an increase in various other expenses by $0.80 million.
�
Financial Costs:
�
Consolidated financial costs increased by 170.94%, or $29.71 million, from $17.38 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $47.09 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is attributable to an increase of $23.52 million in interest expense on loans and cash flow hedges. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, we had an average of $1,521.31 million of outstanding indebtedness including our bond agreement, having an aggregate weighted average interest rate of 3.29%, and during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we had an average of $605.01 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 3.14%. These weighted average interest rates include interest expense on loans and cash flow hedges and interest expense on bond and CCSs. The increase in financial costs was further affected by an increase in amortization of loan fees by $5.23 million mainly attributable to the write-off of the unamortized loan fees of $3.26 million related to the prepaid debt at the time of the GasLog Partners’ IPO and the additional fees amortization of the new financings and an increase in other financial costs by $0.96 million.
�
Gain/(loss) on Swaps:

Consolidated loss on swaps increased by $22.49 million, from $9.20 million gain during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $13.29 million loss during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in loss is attributable to an increase of $17.82 million in loss from mark-to-market valuation of our interest rate swaps which are carried at fair value through profit or loss, an increase of $1.28 million in loss that was reclassified from equity to profit or loss statement related to the interest rate swaps for which hedge accounting was discontinued mainly because the debt was repaid and an increase of $3.55 million in realized loss from interest rate swaps held for trading.
�
Profit for the Period:
�
Consolidated profit increased by 15.05%, or $5.34 million, from $35.48 million profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $40.82 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, as a result of the aforementioned factors.
�
Customers
�
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, we received 80.4% of our revenues from BG Group, 0.3% of our revenues from Egypt LNG, an entity in which we have a 25% ownership interest, 11.2% of our revenues from Shell, 7.8% of our revenues from various charterers in the spot / short-term market and 0.3% from another customer. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we received 98.7% of our revenues from BG Group, 0.6% of our revenues from Egypt LNG and 0.7% from another customer.
�
Seasonality
�
Since our owned ships are mainly employed under multi-year, fixed-rate charter arrangements, seasonal trends do not materially impact the revenues earned by our vessels during the year. In the future, seasonality may impact the revenues of our ships operating under spot / short-term or seasonal charter arrangements. Seasonality also does not have a significant impact on revenues earned by our management services, as we provide technical ship management and ship construction supervision services under fixed-rate agreements.
�
Additionally, our business is not subject to seasonal borrowing requirements.
�
Liquidity and Capital Resources
�
Our funding and treasury activities are intended to balance investment returns in order to maintain appropriate liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in U.S. dollars. In June 2013 and April 2014, we entered into six CCSs to exchange interest payments and principal on maturity on the same terms as the NOK denominated bonds and designated the CCSs as hedges of the variability of the USD functional currency equivalent cash flows on the bond. Refer to Note 10 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details on our swap arrangements.
�
As of September 30, 2014, we had $295.23 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $3.06 million was held in retention accounts in connection with the next installments and interest payments due under the credit facilities entered into by our subsidiaries GAS-two Ltd. and GAS-three Ltd. and $127.23 million was held in time deposits. Moreover, as of September 30, 2014, we had $57.91 million held in time deposits with an initial duration of more than three months but less than a year that have been classified as short-term investments.
�
As of September 30, 2014, GasLog had an aggregate of $1.72 billion of indebtedness outstanding under ten credit agreements, of which $135.31 million is repayable within one year, including $42.17 million under the revolving credit facility and a $25.00 million prepayment made on October 9, 2014 under the Citibank facility drawn on April 9, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, GasLog had $155.32 million outstanding under the bond agreement that is payable in June 2018.
�
As of September 30, 2014, there is an undrawn amount of $7.83 million from the revolving facility of GAS-two Ltd. which is available to be drawn under certain conditions. In addition, there is a loan facility with an aggregate undrawn amount of $292.00 million available that will be used to finance a portion of the contract prices of two of our newbuildings upon their deliveries subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
�
In connection with the GasLog Partners’ IPO, we amended the credit facilities entered into by our subsidiaries GAS-three Ltd. and GAS-four Ltd., and GAS-five Ltd. and GAS-six Ltd. to, among other things, permit GasLog’s contribution of the GasLog Shanghai, the GasLog Santiago and the GasLog Sydney to the Partnership and add GasLog Partners Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of GasLog Partners, as a guarantor. In connection with these amendments, we prepaid $82.63 million of the new GAS-five Ltd. facility with proceeds of the GasLog Partners’ IPO.
�
In connection with the dropdown of the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth on September 29, 2014, GasLog Partners completed a follow-on public offering of 4,500,000 common units at a public offering price of $31.00 per unit raising approximately $133.10 million, net of expenses.
�
In connection with the closing of the Partnership’s acquisition of the two entities that own the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth on September 29, 2014, GasLog entered into a supplemental deed to the facility agreement dated April 1, 2014 (“BG1 Facility”) with Citibank that, among other things, permitted the Partnership (or its subsidiary) to acquire GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd. from GasLog and required, as a condition precedent to such acquisition, the Partnership and GasLog Partners Holdings LLC to guarantee the obligors obligations under the BG1 Facility (“MLP Guarantees”).
�
On August 5, 2014, the Partnership entered into a commitment letter and a coordination letter with Citibank for a credit facility for up to $450.00 million (the “New Credit Facility”) to refinance the existing debt facilities of GAS-three Ltd., GAS-four Ltd., GAS-five Ltd., GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd. The New Credit Facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin and will be payable in 20 equal quarterly payments of $5.63 million each and a balloon
| 6 |
payment of $337.50 million together with the final quarterly payment. For details of the New Credit Facility, see Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
�
On November 14, 2014, GasLog signed an amendment to its NOK bond agreement to revise the covenants to reflect GasLog’s growth and the anticipated growth of the MLP. For the details of the amended agreement, see Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
�
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund our ship-operating expenses, finance the purchase and construction of our newbuildings, purchase second-hand vessels, service our existing debt and pay dividends. As of September 30, 2014, commitments for capital expenditures are related to the ten LNG carriers on order, which have a gross aggregate contract price of approximately $2.02 billion. As of September 30, 2014, the total remaining balance of the contract prices of the ten newbuildings was $1.85 billion of which $0.42 billion is due within twelve months that will be funded with available cash, cash from operations, existing debt and other financings.
�
In May, 2014, GasLog entered into contracts with Samsung for the purchase of two additional 174,000 cbm newbuildings with delivery dates in 2017. In addition, we secured additional fixed priced options from Samsung on two further 174,000 cbm newbuildings with delivery dates in 2017 and early 2018. If we exercise these options, Samsung has agreed to grant us two additional options. In the event we decide to exercise these options, we expect to finance the costs with cash from operations and a combination of debt and equity financing.
�
In June 2014, GasLog entered into shipbuilding contracts with Hyundai for the construction of two LNG carriers (174,000 cubic meters each). The vessels are expected to be delivered in the second half of 2017. In addition, we secured fixed priced options from Hyundai on four further LNG carriers with delivery dates in late 2017 and during 2018. In the event we decide to exercise these options, we expect to finance the costs with cash from operations and a combination of debt and equity financing.
�
Our credit facilities are described in Note 11 of our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014 and Note 5 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2014.
�
Working Capital Position
�
Taking into account generally expected market conditions, we anticipate that cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, including our working capital requirements, to make the scheduled payments as per the shipbuilding contracts and to make the required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness during the next 12 months.
�
As of September 30, 2014, our current assets totaled $373.87 million while current liabilities totaled $212.45 million, resulting in a positive working capital position of $161.42 million.
�
Cash Flows
�
Nine month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2013

�
Net Cash from Operating Activities
�
Net cash from operating activities increased by $51.32 million, from $55.97 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $107.29 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase was due to an increase of $132.71 million in revenue collections, partially offset by a decrease in cash from ship management creditors amounting to $7.85 million, an increase of $40.68 million in payments for general and administrative expenses, operating expenses and inventories, an increase of $26.95 million in cash paid for interest (including the payment of $2.01 million for the swap termination and reduction of the GasLog Sydney facility and $4.78 million premium paid to enter into the three CCSs), an increase of $3.55 million in realized losses on interest rate swaps held for trading and a decrease of $2.36 million in cash collaterals.
�
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
�
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $591.04 million, from $650.21 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $1,241.25 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is mainly attributable to a $469.97 million increase in payments for the construction costs of newbuildings and the acquisition of second-hand vessels and a $0.78 million increase in the acquisition of other tangible assets related mainly to depot spares, the net decrease in short-term investments of $118.99 million and a $0.67 million decrease in dividends received from Egypt LNG Services Ltd.
�
Net Cash from Financing Activities
�
Net cash from financing activities increased by $606.65 million, from $718.90 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $1,325.55 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase of $2.27 million in proceeds from our borrowings, an increase of $308.92 million resulting from the net proceeds from the public offerings and private placement in January and April 2014, an increase in the net proceeds from the GasLog Partners’ IPO and follow-on public offering of $319.92 million and a decrease of $1.00 million in payment of loan issuance costs, partially offset by an increase of $9.82 million in dividend payments, $12.95 million payments for treasury shares and an increase of $2.69 million in bank loan repayments.

| (1) | Reflects time charter revenues and contracted days for the nine LNG carriers delivered to us in 2010, 2013 and 2014, the six LNG carriers acquired from BG Group in April and June 2014 and the four LNG carriers on order for which we have secured time charters. Calculations assume (i) that all the LNG carriers on order are delivered on schedule and (ii) 30 off-hire days when the ship undergoes scheduled drydocking. Does not include charter revenues for the Methane Nile Eagle, in which we hold a 25% minority interest. |
| (2) | Our ships are scheduled to undergo drydocking once every five years. Revenue calculations assume 365 revenue days per ship per annum, with 30 off-hire days when the ship undergoes scheduled drydocking. |
| (3) | For time charters that include a fixed operating cost component subject to annual escalation, revenue calculations include that fixed annual escalation. |
| (4) | For time charters that give the charterer the option to set the charter hire rate at prevailing market rates during an initial portion of the time charter’s term, revenue calculations assume that the charterer does not elect such option. Revenue calculations for these charters include an estimate of the amount of the operating cost component and the management fee component. |
| (5) | Revenue calculations assume no exercise of any option to extend the terms of charters. |
| (6) | Available days represent total calendar days after deducting 30 off-hire days when the ship undergoes scheduled drydocking. |
| (7) | Represents available days for the six newbuildings (which do not yet have secured time charters) plus available days for other ships after the expiration of existing charters (assuming charterers do not exercise any option to extend the terms of charters). |
�
The table above provides information about our contracted charter revenues and ship utilization based on contracts in effect as of September 30, 2014 for (a) the nine ships in our owned fleet and the three ships in the GasLog Partners’ fleet for which we have secured time charters, including the contracts for four of newbuildings on order, (b) the six ships acquired from BG Group on April 10, 2014, on June 4, 2014, June 11, 2014 and June 25, 2014 (two of which belong to GasLog Partners’ fleet) and (c) a short-term charter party agreement of GasLog Chelsea. Other than the assumptions reflected in the footnotes to the table, including our assumption that our newbuildings are delivered on schedule, the table does not reflect events occurring after September 30, 2014. The table reflects only our contracted charter revenues for the ships in our owned fleet for which we have secured time charters, and it does not reflect the costs or expenses we will incur in fulfilling our obligations under the charters, nor does it include other revenues we may earn, such as revenues for technical management of customer-owned ships. In particular, the table does not reflect any time charter revenues for our six LNG carriers on order for which we have not yet secured time charter contracts, revenues from the GasLog Chelsea after the estimated completion of its short-term charter party agreement, any additional ships we may acquire in the future, nor does it reflect the options under our time charters that permit our charterers to extend the time charter terms for successive multi-year periods at comparable charter hire rates. The entry into time charter contracts for the six remaining newbuildings on order which have no time charters in place, the GasLog Chelsea and any additional ships we may acquire or the exercise of options extending the terms of our existing charters, would result in an increase in the number of contracted days and the contracted revenue for our fleet in the future. Although the contracted charter revenues are based on contracted charter hire rate provisions, they reflect certain assumptions, including assumptions relating to future ship operating costs. We consider the assumptions to be reasonable as of the date of this report, but if these assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual time charter revenues could differ from those reflected in the table. Furthermore, any contract is subject to various risks, including performance by the counterparties or an early termination of the contract pursuant to its terms. If the charterers are unable or unwilling to make charter payments to us, or if we agree to renegotiate charter terms at the request of a charterer or if contracts are prematurely terminated for any reason, we would be exposed to prevailing market conditions at the time, and our results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Please see the disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014. For these reasons, the contracted charter revenue information presented above is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. Neither the Company’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the information presented in the table, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the information in the table.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share and per share data)
�
1. Organization and Operations
�
GasLog Ltd (“GasLog”) was incorporated in Bermuda on July 16, 2003. GasLog Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and management of vessels in the liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) market, providing maritime services for the transportation of LNG on a worldwide basis and LNG vessel management services. The Group conducts its operations through its vessel-owning subsidiaries and through its vessel management services subsidiary. The Group’s operations are carried out from offices in Piraeus, London, New York and Monaco. The registered office of GasLog is Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda. GasLog’s chairman, Peter G. Livanos, is GasLog’s largest shareholder through his ownership of Ceres Shipping Ltd., which has a majority ownership interest in Blenheim Holdings Ltd. As of September 30, 2014, entities controlled by members of the Livanos family, including GasLog’s chairman, are deemed to beneficially own approximately 39.0% of GasLog’s issued and outstanding common shares. As a result of his ownership of GasLog’s common shares, Mr. Livanos can effectively control the outcome of most matters on which GasLog’s shareholders are entitled to vote.
�
On May 12, 2014, the GasLog Partners LP (“GasLog Partners” or the “Partnership”), a subsidiary of GasLog completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) with the sale and issuance of 9,660,000 common units (including 1,260,000 units in relation to overallotment option exercised in full by the underwriters), resulting in gross proceeds of $202,860 and representing a 48.2% ownership interest. Concurrently with the IPO, the Partnership acquired a 100% ownership interest in GAS-three Ltd., GAS-four Ltd. and GAS-five Ltd. from GasLog, in exchange for (i) 162,358 common units and 9,822,358 subordinated units issued to GasLog representing a 49.8% ownership interest and all of the incentive distribution rights that entitle GasLog to increasing percentages of the cash that Partnership distributes in excess of the $0.43125 per unit per quarter, (ii) 400,913 general partner units issued to GasLog Partners GP LLC (the “general partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GasLog, representing a 2.0% general partner interest and (iii) $65,695 of cash consideration paid directly to GasLog from the IPO proceeds.
�
On September 29, 2014, the Partnership completed a follow-on public offering of 4,500,000 common units at a public offering price of $31.00 per unit. The net proceeds from this offering after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses were $133,100. In connection with the offering, the Partnership’s general partner, a wholly owned subsidiary of GasLog, paid $2,847 to GasLog Partners in exchange for 91,837 general partner units to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. The total proceeds to GasLog Partners of $ 135,947 were used to partially finance the acquisition from GasLog of 100% of the ownership interests in GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd., the entities that own the 145,000 cbm LNG carriers, the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $328,000 and to prepay $24,947 of debt secured by those carriers in October 2014.
�
As of September 30, 2014, GasLog holds a 42.5% interest in the Partnership and, as a result of its ownership of the general partner, and the fact that the general partner elects the majority of the Partnership’s directors in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, GasLog has the ability to control the Partnership’s affairs and policies. Consequently, GasLog Partners is consolidated in the Group’s financial statements.

2. Basis of Presentation
�
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for a complete set of annual financial statements have been omitted, and therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. On November 19, 2014 GasLog’s board of directors authorized the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for issuance and filing.
�
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars (“USD”), which is the functional currency of all of the subsidiaries in the Group because their vessels operate in international shipping markets in which revenues and expenses are primarily settled in USD, and the Group’s most significant assets and liabilities are paid for and settled in USD.
�
The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of derivative financial instruments. The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in these condensed consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to those matters, in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 management had to exercise judgment in determining the appropriate classification of the various partnership interests as presented below.
�
Classification of the non-controlling interests
�
The non-controlling interests in the Partnership comprise the portion of the Partnership’s common units that are not directly or indirectly held by GasLog (currently 14,160,000 units). Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the Partnership is required to distribute 100% of available cash (as defined in the partnership agreement) with respect to each quarter within 45 days of the end of the quarter to the partners. Available cash can be summarized as cash and cash equivalents less an amount equal to cash reserves established by the Partnership’s board of directors to (i) provide for the proper conduct of the business of the Partnership (including reserves for future capital expenditures and for anticipated future credit needs of the Partnership) subsequent to such quarter, (ii) comply with applicable law or any loan agreement, security agreement, mortgage, debt instrument or other agreement or obligation to which any Partnership group member is a party or by which it is bound or its assets are subject and/or (iii) provide funds for certain distributions relating to future periods.
�
In reaching a judgment as to whether the non-controlling interests in the Partnership should be classified as liabilities or equity interests, management has considered the wide discretion of the board of directors of the Partnership to determine whether any portion of the amount of cash available to the Partnership constitutes available cash and that it is possible that there could be no available cash. In the event that there is no available cash, as determined by the Partnership’s board of directors, the Partnership does not have a contractual obligation to make a distribution. Accordingly, management has concluded that the non-controlling interests do not represent a contractual obligation on the Partnership to deliver cash and therefore should be classified as equity within the financial statements.
�
Adoption of new and revised IFRS
�
(a) Standards and amendments in issue not yet adopted
�
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the following standards and amendments relevant to the Group were in issue but not yet effective:
�
In October 2010, the IASB reissued IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 specifies how an entity should classify and measure financial assets and financial liabilities. The new standard requires all financial assets to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value depending on the business model of the legal entity in relation to the management of the financial assets and the contractual cash flows of the financial assets. The standard also requires a financial liability to be classified as either at fair value through profit or loss or at amortized cost. The release of IFRS 9 (2013) on November 19, 2013 contained consequential amendments which removed the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 leaving the effective date open pending the finalization of the impairment and classification and measurement requirement and permitted an entity to apply the requirements on the presentation of gains and losses on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss without applying the other requirements, meaning the portion of the change in fair value related to changes in the entity’s own credit risk can be presented in other comprehensive income rather than within profit or loss. In addition it introduced a new chapter to IFRS 9 on hedge accounting, putting in place a new hedge accounting model that is designed to be more closely aligned with how entities undertake risk management activities when hedging financial and non-financial risk exposures. At its November 2013 meeting, the IASB tentatively decided that the mandatory effective date will be no earlier than annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with retrospective application required. At its February 2014 meeting, the IASB tentatively decided to set January 1, 2018 as the effective date for the mandatory application of the standard. Management will evaluate the impact of this standard on the Group’s financial statements once the mandatory effective date is set. Until such time as a detailed review has been completed it is not practicable to provide reasonable estimate of that effect.
�
In December 2013, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs-2010-2012 Cycle, which includes changes to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, IFRS 3 Business Combination, IFRS 8 Operating Segments, IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, IAS 38 Intangible Assets and IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. Management anticipates that these amendments will not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.
| F-8 |
In December 2013, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs-2011-2013 Cycle, which includes changes to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Standards, IFRS 3 Business Combinations, IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement and IAS 40 Investment Property. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. Management anticipates that these amendments will not have any impact on the Group’s financial statements.
�
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which applies to all contracts with customers: the main exceptions are leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts. IFRS 15 specifies how and when an IFRS reporter will recognize revenue as well as requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures. The standard supersedes IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and a number of revenue-related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2017 but early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
�
In September 2014, the IASB published Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture as amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investment in Associate and Joint Ventures. The amendments address a conflict between the requirements of IFRS 10 and IAS 28 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business. They are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlier application being permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
�
In September 2014, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs-2012-2014 Cycle, which includes changes to IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations,�IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures,�IAS 19� Employee Benefits and IAS 34� Interim Financial Reporting.� These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2016. Management anticipates that these amendments will not have any impact on the Group’s financial statements.
�
The impact of all other IFRS standards and amendments issued but not yet adopted is not expected to be material.
�
3. Equity Transactions
�
On January 22, 2014, GasLog completed a follow-on public offering of 10,925,000 common shares, including 1,425,000 common shares issued upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. The public offering price was $15.75 per share. The Company also sold 2,317,460 common shares at the public offering price in a private placement to certain of its directors and officers and one of its major shareholders. The net proceeds from the public offering and the concurrent private placement, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were $199,016.
�
On April 16, 2014, GasLog completed a follow-on public offering of 4,887,500 common shares, including 637,500 common shares issued upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. The public offering price was $23.75 per share. The net proceeds from the public offering after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses, were approximately $109,940.
�
On May 12, 2014, the Partnership completed its IPO with the sale and issuance of 9,660,000 common units, resulting in gross proceeds of $202,860 and representing a 48.2% ownership interest (Note 1). GasLog Partners used the net IPO proceeds of $186,029 to (a) pay $65,695 directly to GasLog as cash consideration for the contribution of GAS-three Ltd., GAS-four Ltd. and GAS-five Ltd., (b) prepay $82,634 of debt plus accrued interest of $416 and (c) make a payment of $2,285 (including $271 accrued interest) to settle the mark-to-market loss on termination of one interest rate swap and reduction of a second interest rate swap in connection with the aforementioned debt prepayment. The balance of $35,000 was retained by the Partnership for general corporate purposes. The net proceeds from the Partnership’s IPO of $186,029 were received in cash and have been allocated to non-controlling interests.
�

| F-9 |
Vessels with an aggregate carrying amount of $2,621,412 as of September 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013: $1,528,289) have been pledged as collateral under the terms of the Group’s loan agreements.
�
On April 10, 2014, GasLog acquired three 145,000 cbm steam-powered LNG carriers and on June 4, 2014, June 11, 2014, and June 25, 2014, acquired another three 145,000 cbm steam-powered LNG carriers from a subsidiary of BG Group plc (“BG Group”) for an aggregate cost of $936,000 (from which $930,000 was paid at closing of these deliveries while the payment of the remaining $6,000 will be made upon receipt of the relevant spares and before the end of the initial term of the charter party agreements) and chartered those vessels back to Methane Services Limited (“MSL”) a subsidiary of the BG Group for an average six year initial terms. The time charters back to MSL for the vessels are staggered with terms of 5.5 years, 6 years and 6.5 years, so that the vessels do not redeliver at the same time. MSL has unilateral options to extend the term of the time charters for four of the ships for a period of either three or five years. The vessels acquired are the 2006 built Methane Rita Andrea, Methane Jane Elizabeth and Methane Lydon Volney, and the 2007 built Methane Shirley Elisabeth, Methane Heather Sally and Methane Alison Victoria. GasLog supervised the construction of all six vessels for BG Group and has provided technical management for the ships since delivery.
�
The acquisition of the aforementioned vessels was treated as an asset acquisition based on the absence of processes attached to the inputs. In addition, management considered that the charter party agreements entered into approximate market rates and has concluded that the contracted daily charter rate approximates fair value on the transaction completion dates, taking into account that the rates agreed with BG Group were in arms’ length negotiations and management’s understanding of the market. Considering the above, the purchase price was allocated in total to vessel cost.
�

Interest rate swap agreements
�
The Group enters into fixed interest rate swap agreements which convert the floating interest rate exposure into a fixed interest rate in order to hedge a portion of the Group’s exposure to fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the bank counterparty effects quarterly floating-rate payments to the Group for the notional amount based on the three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, and the Group effects quarterly payments to the bank on the notional amount at the respective fixed rates.

Cross currency swap agreements (“CCS”)
�
The Group enters into CCSs which convert the floating interest rate exposure and the variability of the USD functional currency equivalent cash flows into a fixed interest rate and principal on maturity in order to hedge the Group’s exposure to fluctuations deriving from its senior unsecured notes.
�
In June 2013, GasLog entered into three CCSs to exchange interest payments and principal on maturity on the same terms as the initial NOK 500,000 bond (Note 5) thereby hedging the variability of the USD functional currency equivalent cash flows on the bond.
�
In April 2014, GasLog entered into three CCSs to exchange interest payments and principal on maturity on the same terms as the additional NOK 500,000 bond issued in 2014 (Note 5) thereby hedging the variability of the USD functional currency equivalent cash flows on the bond.
�
The CCSs qualified as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of CCSs amounting to a loss of $6,772 and $12,280 loss, respectively, has been recognized in Other comprehensive income (for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 amounted to a gain of $391 and a loss of $1,742 respectively). Additionally, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, a gain of $7,782 and $10,528, respectively, was reclassified to profit or loss to offset the amount recognized in profit or loss for the retranslation of the bonds in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2014 (for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 a loss of $980 and $224, respectively).
�
Fair value measurements
�
The fair value of the interest rate swaps at the end of reporting period was determined by discounting the future cash flows using the interest rate yield curves at the end of reporting period and the credit risk inherent in the contract. The fair value of the CCSs at the end of the reporting period was determined by discounting the future cash flows that are estimated based on forward exchange rates and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of the counterparties. The Group uses its judgment to make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions for the estimation of the counterparty risk and the Group’s own risk that are considered for the calculation of the fair value of the interest rate and cross currency swaps. The interest rate swaps and CCSs meet Level 2 classification, according to the fair value hierarchy as defined by IFRS 13. There were no financial instruments in Levels 1 and 3 and no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the periods presented. The definitions of the Levels, provided by IFRS 13 are based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
�
| • | Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| � | � |
| • | Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and |
| � | � |
| • | Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |

On May 17, 2013, GasLog Ltd. granted to executives, managers and certain employees of GasLog Ltd. and GasLog LNG Services Ltd., Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) and Stock Appreciation Rights (“SAR”) in accordance with its 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The RSUs will vest on April 29, 2016 while the SARs will vest incrementally with one-third of the SARs vesting on each of April 29, 2014, 2015 and 2016. The compensation cost for the SARs is recognized on an accelerated basis as though each separately vesting portion of the SARs is a separate award. Prior to the exercise date the holders will not have any voting rights and will not be entitled to dividends or other distributions.
�
The terms of the Plan and the assumptions for the valuation of RSUs and SARs have been disclosed in Note 18 “Share-Based Payments” in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
�
On April 1, 2014, GasLog Ltd. granted to executives, managers and certain employees of GasLog Ltd. and GasLog LNG Services Ltd., 76,251 RSUs and 286,746 SARs in accordance with its 2013 Plan. The RSUs will vest on March 31, 2017 while the SARs will vest incrementally with one-third of the SARs vesting on each of March 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017. The compensation cost for the SARs is recognized on an accelerated basis as though each separately vesting portion of the SARs is a separate award. Prior to the exercise date the holders will not have any voting rights and will not be entitled to dividends or other distributions.

| Awards | � | Number | � | Grant date | � | Expiry date | � | Exercise price |
� | Fair value at grant date |
| RSUs | � | 76,251 | � | April 1, 2014 | � | March 31, 2017 | � | n/a | � | 22.58 |
| SARs | � | 286,746 | � | April 1, 2014 | � | March 31, 2024 | � | 24.00 | � | 6.0035 |
�
�In accordance with the terms of the Plan, there are only service condition requirements. The awards will be settled in cash or in shares which is at the sole discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors and hence these have been treated as equity settled as the Group has no present obligation to settle in cash. The amount to be settled for each SAR exercised is computed in each case, as the excess, if any, of the fair market value (the closing price of shares) on the exercise date over the exercise price of the SAR.
�
The fair value of the SARs has been calculated based on the Modified Black-Scholes-Merton method. Expected volatility was based on historical share price volatility. The expected dividend is based on management’s expectations of future payments on the grant date. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the SARs is set out below:
�
| Inputs into the model | � | � | � | |
| Grant date share closing price | � | $ | 24.00 | � |
| Exercise price | � | $ | 24.00 | � |
| Expected volatility | � | � | 29.42 | % |
| Expected term | � | � | 6 years | � |
| Risk-free interest rate for the period similar to the expected term | � | � | 2.03 | % |
�
The fair value of the RSUs was determined by using the grant date closing price of $24.00 per share and adjusting for the effect of the expected dividends which holders of RSUs are not entitled using a risk-free interest rate of 0.91% for the three years until the expiry of the RSUs which resulted in a fair value of $22.58 per RSU.

13. Segment Reporting
�
Beginning on January 1, 2014, due to the growth in owned fleet, the decrease in revenues and profit earned by GasLog LNG Services Ltd. as a percentage of consolidated revenue and profit, and the acquisition of six of the vessels that were under our technical management (Note 4), the Group’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) being the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Group’s operating results on a consolidated basis. As of December 31, 2013, the Group had two operating segments as the CODM was making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance on the base of the vessel ownership and the vessel management segments.
