Scheduled off hire for the quarter was 232 days as the Company took advantage of the weak freight market to bring forward drydockings and planned installations of scrubbers and ballast water treatment systems.

Our business remains impacted by the Covid-19 virus outbreak with operational challenges related to our seafarers and our ability to change crews at regular intervals. There are still numerous restrictions to facilitate crew changes with strict transit and quarantine procedures and a limited number of geographical options to execute crew changes. We continue to do everything we reasonably can to facilitate safe and regular crew changes.

The virus outbreak led to reduced global consumption of refined oil products resulting in a build-up of shore-based inventories of both feedstock and end products. Further, leading oil producers have reduced supply with the view to rebalance the oil markets. As such, demand is partly being satisfied by drawing down on inventories, resulting in reduced demand for transportation. We recently note decreases in inventories and estimates of demand slowly resuming indicating a recovery in demand for oil transportation in the conceivable future.

As of March 31, 2021, DHT had a fleet of 28 VLCCs. The total dwt of the fleet was 8,660,835. For more details on the fleet, please refer to the web site: https://www.dhtankers.com/fleetlist/



SUBSEQUENT EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:

On April 12, 2021, the Company took delivery of DHT Osprey, the second of the two VLCCs acquired in January 2021. The first vessel, DHT Harrier, was delivered on February 18, 2021.

In April, the Company received binding commitments from seven banks for a new $316.2 million credit facility. The facility serves three purposes for DHT:


2



o
It contains 'DHT-style' mortgage financing ($37.5 million per vessel with $2.5 million in annual amortization reflecting a 20-year repayment profile) for the two newly acquired 2016 built VLCCs,


o
An extension of final maturity of the current Nordea Credit Facility from April 2023 to January 2027, and,


o
A new (undrawn) revolving credit line of $60 million collateralized by three currently unencumbered ships (DHT Amazon, DHT Europe and DHT Scandinavia).

Additionally, the facility will include an uncommitted 'accordion' of $250.0 million. The new facility will have an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.90% and have final maturity in January 2027.

After the quarter end, the Company has entered into three separate agreements to sell its three 2004 built VLCCs, DHT Lake, DHT Raven and DHT Condor, for an aggregate of $88.75 million.


o
The Company expects to book a profit from the sales of about $15 million in Q2 2021.


o
Net proceeds after repayment of mortgage debt is estimated to be about $78.0 million.

OUTLOOK:


Thus far in the second quarter of 2021, 75% of the available VLCC days have been booked at an average rate of $21,300 per day on a discharge to discharge basis (not including any potential profit splits on four time charters).

The Company will continue to take advantage of the weak freight market to bring forward drydockings and planned installations of scrubbers and ballast water treatment systems and expect scheduled off hire to be in the range between 90 and 110 days during the second quarter of 2021.

FIRST QUARTER 2021 FINANCIALS

The Company reported shipping revenues for the first quarter of 2021 of $87.0 million compared to shipping revenues of $211.9 million in the first quarter of 2020.The decrease from the 2020 period to the 2021 period includes $113.2 million attributable to lower tanker rates and $11.7 million attributable to a decrease in total revenue days as a result of scheduled off hire in connection with special surveys and scrubber installations. The Company took advantage of the weak freight market to bring forward drydockings and planned installations of scrubbers and ballast water treatment systems.

Voyage expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $15.7 million, compared to voyage expenses of $59.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was due to fewer vessels in the spot market representing a $37.9 million decrease in bunker expenses and a $5.7 million decrease in port cost.

Vessel operating expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $19.1 million compared to $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was mainly related to up-storing of spares and consumables in 2020 in relation to IMO2020.

Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $32.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $30.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to increased depreciation related to scrubbers of $0.9 million and capitalized survey expenses of $0.9 million.

General & administrative expense ('G&A') for the first quarter of 2021 was $5.6 million, consisting of $3.7 million cash and $1.9 million non-cash charge, compared to $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, consisting of $3.4 million cash and $0.9 million non-cash charge. Non-cash G&A includes accrual for social security tax.

Net financial expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $2.9 million compared to $25.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to a non-cash gain of $3.4 million related to interest rate derivatives in the first quarter of 2021 compared to a non-cash loss of $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 in addition to a $6.2 million decrease in interest expenses due to reduced outstanding debt.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had net income in the first quarter of 2021 of $11.6 million, or income of $0.07 per basic share and $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income in the first quarter of 2020 of $72.2 million, or an income of $0.49 per basic share and $0.44 per diluted share. The decrease from the 2020 period to the 2020 period was mainly due to lower tanker rates.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2021 was $10.9 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $130.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. The change of $119.8 million is comprised of a $60.5 million decrease in net income, a $44.0 million decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities and a $15.3 million decrease in non-cash items included in net income.

Net cash used in investing activities was $141.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 and was related to investment in vessels. Net cash used in investing activities was $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 of which $2.8 million related to investment in vessels and $0.3 million related to investment in property, plant and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2021 was $115.6 million comprising $125.0 million related to issuance of long-term debt, partially offset by $8.6 million related to cash dividend paid and $0.7 million related to scheduled repayment of long-term debt. Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2020 was $119.1 million comprising mainly of $57.8 million related to prepayment of long-term debt, $47.0 million related to cash dividend paid and $14.2 million related to scheduled repayment of long-term debt.

As of March 31, 2021, the cash balance was $54.0 million, compared to $68.6 million as of December 31, 2020.

The Company monitors its covenant compliance on an ongoing basis. As of the date of the most recent compliance certificates submitted for the first quarter of 2021, the Company is in compliance with its financial covenants.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 171,499,004 shares of common stock outstanding compared to 170,798,328 shares as of December 31, 2020.

The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per common share for the first quarter of 2021 payable on May 26, 2021 for shareholders of record as of May 19, 2021.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company assesses the financial performance of its business using a variety of measures. Certain of these measures are termed 'non-GAAP measures' because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or are calculated using financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. These non-GAAP measures include 'Adjusted Net Revenue', 'Adjusted EBITDA' and 'Adjusted spot time charter equivalent per day'. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information for its investors and, when considered together with the Company's IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's operations. In addition, the DHT's management measures the financial performance of the Company, in part, by using these non-GAAP measures, along with other performance metrics. The Company does not regard these non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or as superior to, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's operating results as reported under IFRS.

Derivatives - interest rate swaps

Measurement of fair value

It is only derivatives that are classified within a fair value measurement category and measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. Fair value measurement is based on Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. Such measurement is based on techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable. Future cash flows are estimated based on forward interest rates (from observable yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and contract interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has nine amortizing interest rate swaps totaling $351.4 million with maturity ranging from the second quarter 2023 to the third quarter 2023. The average fixed interest rate is 2.95%. As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the derivative financial liability related to the swaps amounted to $20.2 million.

Note 5 - Vessels
The carrying values of the vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of constructing new vessels. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values have been cyclical. The carrying amounts of vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment or reversal of prior impairment charges whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel.

In April, the Company received binding commitments from seven banks for a new $316.2 million credit facility. The facility serves three purposes for DHT:


o
It contains 'DHT-style' mortgage financing ($37.5 million per vessel with $2.5 million in annual amortization reflecting a 20-year repayment profile) for the two newly acquired 2016 built VLCCs,


o
An extension of final maturity of the current Nordea Credit Facility from April 2023 to January 2027, and,


o
A new (undrawn) revolving credit line of $60 million collateralized by three currently unencumbered ships (DHT Amazon, DHT Europe and DHT Scandinavia).

Additionally, the facility will include an uncommitted 'accordion' of $250.0 million. The new facility will have an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.90% and have final maturity in January 2027.

After the quarter end, the Company has entered into three separate agreements to sell its three 2004 built VLCCs, DHT Lake, DHT Raven and DHT Condor, for an aggregate of $88.75 million. The Company expects to book a profit from the sales of about $15 million in Q2 2021. Net proceeds after repayment of mortgage debt is estimated to be about $78.0 million.
