General Maritime Corporation Announces Third Quarter and Nine Months 2010 Financial Results
NEW YORK, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — General Maritime Corporation (NYSE: GMR) today reported its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Financial Review: Third Quarter 2010
The Company recorded a net loss of $26.0 million or $0.30 basic and $0.30 diluted loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net income of $14.8 million or $0.27 basic and $0.27 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of a 31.9% decrease in TCE to $19,109 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $28,077 per day for the prior year period, as well as a $13.6 million increase in net interest expense to $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $7.7 million for the prior year period. Excluding the acceleration of the amortization of the net time charter liability of $13.1 million, from the prior year period for the Arlington vessels which were redelivered to the Company earlier than expected, the decrease in TCE was 17.4% from $23,136 from the prior year period to $19,109 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
John Tavlarios, President of General Maritime Corporation, commented, “During the third quarter and year-to-date, we continued to grow General Maritime’s fleet and contracted revenue stream while taking steps to enhance its financial flexibility. We are pleased to have already taken delivery of six of the seven double-hull vessels we agreed to acquire in June 2010. During the quarter, we also significantly increased our time charter coverage by entering into contracts for six vessels with Trafigura, the third largest independent oil trader. Additionally, we placed the Genmar Elektra, a 2002 build Aframax, with Clearlake, another leading oil trading firm. General Maritime’s ongoing success in implementing its flexible deployment strategy positions the Company to take advantage of future rate increases while maintaining a level of stability in results and covering a substantial portion of fixed costs.”
Net voyage revenue, which is gross voyage revenues minus voyage expenses unique to a specific voyage (including port, canal and fuel costs), decreased 26.0% to $57.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $77.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in voyage expense from $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, to $40.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase in voyage expense was due to higher bunker costs as well as an increase in percentage of spot market operating days for the third quarter 2010, compared to the prior year period. EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 53.6% to $20.8 million compared to $44.7 million for the prior year period (please see below for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income). As of September 30, 2010, the Company’s net debt (calculated as total debt less cash) was $1,184 million.
Total vessel operating expenses, which are direct vessel operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, increased 11.2% from $32.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $35.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Total vessel operating expenses is a measurement of the Company’s total expenses associated with operating its vessels. This increase was primarily due to the addition of 5 VLCCs which were acquired during the third quarter ended September 30, 2010 and are more expensive to operate. Daily direct vessel operating expenses increased by 7.1% to $8,486 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $7,923 for the prior year period. The increase in daily direct vessel expenses is primarily due to the expiration of fixed cost technical management contracts for certain vessels, which subjected them to higher current market costs, and to the change in composition of the fleet to include the addition of the 5 VLCCs acquired during the quarter.
General and administrative costs decreased by 1.4% to $9.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $9.5 million for the prior year period. Contributing to this reduction was a decrease in professional expenses and the effects of changes in exchange rates.
Financial Review: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
The Company recorded a net loss of $49.4 million or $0.74 basic and $0.74 diluted loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net income of $40.9 million, or $0.75 basic and $0.74 diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Net voyage revenues decreased 20.3% to $184.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $231.5 million for the prior year period. EBITDA decreased 38.8% to $79.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $130.4 million for the prior year period. TCE rates obtained by the Company’s fleet decreased 24.0% to $21,915 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $28,830 for the prior year period. Total vessel operating expenses increased 3.3% to $103.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $100.0 million for the prior year period, and daily direct vessel operating expenses increased 5.1% to $8,590 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 from $8,172 from the prior year period.

EBITDA $79,821 $130,402
======= ========
(1) EBITDA represents net income plus net interest expense and
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is included because it is
used by management and certain investors as a measure of operating
performance. EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as
a common performance measure to compare results across peers.
Management of the Company uses EBITDA as a performance measure in
consolidating monthly internal financial statements and is presented
for review at our board meetings. The Company believes that EBITDA
is useful to investors as the shipping industry is capital intensive
which often brings significant cost of financing. EBITDA is not an
item recognized by GAAP, and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator
of a company's operating performance required by GAAP. The
definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by
other companies.
(2) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that
constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the
sum of the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during
the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period
(3) Voyage days for fleet are the total days our vessels were in our
possession for the relevant period net of off hire days associated
with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
(4) Calendar days are the total days the vessels were in our
possession for the relevant period including off hire days
associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or
intermediate surveys.
(5) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were
available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by
dividing voyage days by calendar days for the relevant period.
(6) Time Charter Equivalent, or TCE, is a measure of the average
daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our
method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and
is determined by dividing net voyage revenue by voyage days
(7) Daily direct vessel operating expenses, or DVOE, is calculated by
dividing DVOE, which includes crew costs, provisions, deck and
engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance and maintenance and
repairs, by calendar days for the relevant time period.
(8) Daily general and administrative expense is calculated by
dividing general and administrative expenses by vessel calendar
days.
(9) Total Vessel Operating Expenses, or TVOE, is a measurement of our
total expenses associated with operating our vessels. Daily TVOE is
the sum of daily direct vessel operating expenses, or DVOE, and
daily general and administrative expenses.
(10) Daily EBITDA is total EBITDA divided by total vessel calendar days.

Metrostar Acquisition Update
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company took delivery of 5 VLCCs associated with the Metrostar acquisition announced in June 2010. These vessels consist of a 2010 built, a 2002 built, a 2003 built and two 2007 built vessels. The vessels were paid for with the proceeds from the Company’s equity offering in June 2010 and borrowings from the Company’s $372 million credit facility.
On October 5, 2010, the Company entered into a $22.8 million bridge loan with Nordea and DnB to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Genmar Maniate, a Suezmax newbuild it had agreed to acquire in the Metrostar acquisition.
The Genmar Maniate was delivered on October 6, 2010 and is the sixth of seven Metrostar vessels to be delivered. The final vessel, the Genmar Spartiate, a Suezmax newbuilding, is expected to be delivered to the Company in April 2011.
$372 Million Facility Update
On October 5, 2010, the Company announced that it had completed the syndication process of the new $372 million credit facility, led by Nordea and DnB NOR.

Additionally, the Company announced that it had amended the $372 million facility to extend, by 12 months, the period within which the Company is required to raise 40% of the purchase price of the seven Metrostar vessels from new equity.
Q3 2010 Dividend Announcement
On October 27, 2010 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a Q3 2010 quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share payable on or about November 26, 2010 to shareholders of record as of November 12, 2010.

Jeff Pribor, Chief Financial Officer of General Maritime Corporation, commented, “During the quarter and year-to-date, we took important steps to enhance General Maritime’s financial flexibility during a time when we continue to grow our modern high-quality fleet. Specifically, we amended our $372 million senior secured credit facility, which was successfully syndicated to four global lending institutions. We appreciate the continued support we receive from world-class banks, underscoring General Maritime’s leading industry position and strong future prospects.”

This press release contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and observations. Included among the factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this press release are the following: loss or reduction in business from the Company’s significant customers; the failure of the Company’s significant customers to perform their obligations owed to us; changes in demand; a material decline in rates in the tanker market; changes in production of or demand for oil and petroleum products, generally or in particular regions; greater than anticipated levels of tanker newbuilding orders or lower than anticipated rates of tanker scrapping; changes in rules and regulations applicable to the tanker industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international organizations such as the International Maritime Organization and the European Union or by individual countries; actions taken by regulatory authorities; actions by the courts, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Department of Justice or other governmental authorities and the results of the legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its vessels may be subject; changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall tanker tonnage requirements; changes in the typical seasonal variations in tanker charter rates; changes in the cost of other modes of oil transportation; changes in oil transportation technology; increases in costs including without limitation: crew wages, insurance, provisions, repairs and maintenance; changes in general domestic and international political conditions; changes in the condition of the Company’s vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, the Company’s anticipated drydocking or maintenance and repair costs); changes in the itineraries of the Company’s vessels; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates affecting the Company’s expenses; the fulfillment of the closing conditions under, or the execution of customary additional documentation for, the Company’s agreements to acquire vessels; sourcing, completion and funding of financing on acceptable terms; financial market conditions and other factors listed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and its subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. The Company’s ability to pay dividends in any period will depend upon factors including applicable provisions of Marshall Islands law, restrictions under the Company’s credit facilities and indenture governing the Company’s Senior Notes and the final determination by the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of the Company’s financial performance. The timing and amount of dividends, if any, could also be affected by factors affecting cash flows, results of operations, required capital expenditures, or reserves. As a result, the amount of dividends actually paid may vary. The Company’s dividend policy may be changed at any time by the Company’s Board of Directors.
