First Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Results Summary
Net income amounted to $5.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $12.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Adjusted net income amounted to $5.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $12.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is adjusted to exclude an unrealized gain on derivative instruments of $0.4 million. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income, which appears later in this press release.
The $7.3 million decrease in adjusted net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, is primarily attributable to a decrease of $10.2 million in revenues and increases of $2.9 million in vessel operating expenses, $0.6 million in voyage expenses, $0.2 million in depreciation and amortization, and a $1.4 million unfavorable change in other gain/(loss), net, partially offset by decreases of $3.5 million in interest and finance costs, $3.3 million in general and administrative costs, and $1.2 million in charter hire expenses.
The TCE rate for our fleet was $31,571 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a 23.5% decrease from a TCE rate of $41,249 for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by increased bunker costs. Please see footnote 7 to the table in 'Financial Information' below for information related to how we calculate TCE. Total fleet utilization (including the utilization of our vessels deployed in the Helios Pool) increased from 82.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 to 96.1% in the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Vessel operating expenses per day increased to $10,131 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $8,686 in the same period in the prior year. Please see 'Vessel Operating Expenses' below for more information.
Revenues
Revenues, which represent net pool revenues-related party, time charters and other revenues, net, were $63.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 14.0%, from $73.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in average TCE rates and fleet availability despite an increase in fleet utilization. Average TCE rates decreased by $9,678 from $41,249 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $31,571 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. We recognized a reallocation of prior period pool profits based on a periodic review of actual vessel performance in accordance with the pool participation agreements. This resulted in a $31 per operating day increase in our fleet's overall TCE rates for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to adjustments related to speed and consumption performance of the vessels operating in the Helios Pool. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a similar reallocation that resulted in a $916 decrease in our fleet's overall TCE rates. Excluding these reallocations, TCE rates decreased by $10,625 when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, primarily driven by higher bunker prices, partially offset by an increase in spot market rates during this period. The average price of very low sulfur fuel oil (expressed as U.S. dollars per metric ton), from Singapore and Fujairah increased from $272 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $508 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Baltic Exchange Liquid Petroleum Gas Index, an index published daily by the Baltic Exchange for the spot market rate for the benchmark Ras Tanura-Chiba route (expressed as U.S. dollars per metric ton), averaged $52.790 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an average of $41.484 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our fleet utilization increased from 82.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 96.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Charter Hire Expenses
Charter hire expenses for the vessels chartered in from third parties were $3.5 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease of $1.2 million, or 25.6%, was caused by a decrease in time chartered-in days from 192 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 139 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to the redelivery of one time chartered in vessel during the period.

Vessel Operating Expenses
Vessel operating expenses were $20.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, or $10,131 per vessel per calendar day, which is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by calendar days for the relevant time-period for the technically-managed vessels that were in our fleet. Vessel operating expenses per vessel per calendar day increased by $1,445 from $8,686 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $10,131 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in vessel operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021, when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily the result of an increase in crew wages and related costs of $2.3 million, or $1,159 per vessel per calendar day, and an increase in operating expenses related to repairs and maintenance, spares and stores, and coolant costs of $0.7 million, or $342 per vessel per calendar day. COVID-19 related expenses were the primary driver of the increase in crew wages and related costs, particularly in crew travel and medical costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 28.9%, from $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This was driven by reductions of $2.4 million in cash bonuses and $1.3 million in stock-based compensation. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors had not yet approved cash bonuses for our named executive officers as of June 30, 2021.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs amounted to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 37.8%, from $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $3.5 million during this period was due to (1) a decrease of $1.8 million in amortization of deferred financing fees and loan expenses, primarily resulting from accelerated amortization of $2.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that did not recur in the current period, and (2) a decrease of $1.7 million in interest incurred on our long-term debt, primarily resulting from a reduction of average indebtedness and a reduced margin on the commercial tranche of the 2015 AR Facility due to the results of our Average Efficiency Ratio (which weighs carbon emissions for a voyage against the design deadweight of a vessel and the distance travelled on such voyage). Average indebtedness, excluding deferred financing fees, decreased from $676.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $600.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of our long-term debt, net of deferred financing fees of $10.0 million, was $579.1 million.
Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Derivatives
Unrealized gain on derivatives amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.5 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The favorable $0.9 million difference is primarily attributable to an increase in favorable fair value changes to our interest rate swaps resulting from changes in forward LIBOR yield curves.

Market Outlook & Update
Global seaborne LPG supply increased an estimated 1.5 million tons during the second calendar quarter of 2021 compared to the first calendar quarter of 2021 and a 6% increase from the same period of 2020. The majority of this increase was from the U.S. where exports reached an average of 4.4 million tons per month in the second calendar quarter of 2021. Middle Eastern LPG seaborne supply remained relatively constant with production cuts and Iranian Sanctions remaining in place.
Crude oil prices rose throughout the second calendar quarter of 2021 with Brent averaging approximately $69 per barrel, compared to $32 per barrel during the same period in 2020. Flat prices of propane and butane consequently rose, however, the percentage of propane and butane compared to crude oil dropped from the previous quarter across all major regions.
With higher seaborne supply, imports into the major consuming regions rose particularly to China, where LPG imports increased from around 5.7 million tons during the first calendar quarter of 2021 to 6.5 million tons during the second calendar quarter of 2021. After two new propane dehydrogenation plants began operating in the first calendar quarter of 2021, a new steam cracker utilizing imported propane as the feedstock started production in April 2021.
Petrochemical margins increased throughout the first calendar quarter of 2021 and this trend continued into the second calendar quarter of 2021 as a number of facilities did not return to full operation after being shut in the first quarter. This was most noticeable in the western hemisphere. Consumption of LPG as a feedstock for petrochemicals increased in the second calendar quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter with propane favored as a feedstock for the production of ethylene over naphtha. The propane-naphtha spread in north-western Europe widened to -$90 per ton on average in the second calendar quarter of 2021, compared to an average of -$23 per ton during the first quarter. Towards the end of the second quarter, however, margins for the production of ethylene via steam cracking started to decline, with the largest declines in the eastern hemisphere.
The Baltic VLGC index averaged around $53 per ton in the second calendar quarter of 2021, only $2 per ton below the performance of the Baltic Index as of the first calendar quarter of 2021.
Currently, the VLGC orderbook stands at approximately 22% of the current global fleet. An additional 70 VLGCs, equivalent to roughly 6.2 million cbm of carrying capacity, are expected to be added to the global fleet by calendar year-end 2023. The average age of the global fleet is now approximately 10 years old.
The above market outlook update is based on information, data and estimates derived from industry sources available as of the date of this release, and there can be no assurances that such trends will continue or that anticipated developments in freight rates, export volumes, the VLGC orderbook or other market indicators will materialize. This information, data and estimates involve a number of assumptions and limitations, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors. You are cautioned not to give undue weight to such information, data and estimates. We have not independently verified any third-party information, verified that more recent information is not available and undertake no obligation to update this information unless legally obligated.
Seasonality
Liquefied gases are primarily used for industrial and domestic heating, as a chemical and refinery feedstock, as a transportation fuel and in agriculture. The LPG shipping market historically has been stronger in the spring and summer months in anticipation of increased consumption of propane and butane for heating during the winter months. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns in these months tend to disrupt vessel scheduling and the supply of certain commodities. Demand for our vessels therefore may be stronger in the quarters ending June 30 and September 30 and relatively weaker during the quarters ending December 31 and March 31, although 12-month time charter rates tend to smooth these short-term fluctuations and recent LPG shipping market activity has not yielded the expected seasonal results. To the extent any of our time charters expires during the typically weaker fiscal quarters ending December 31 and March 31, it may not be possible to re-charter our vessels at similar rates. As a result, we may have to accept lower rates or experience off-hire time for our vessels, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and operating results.

(1) | Adjusted EBITDA is an unaudited non-U.S. GAAP measure and represents net income/(loss) before interest and finance costs, unrealized (gain)/loss on derivatives, realized (gain)/loss on interest rate swaps, stock-based compensation expense, impairment, and depreciation and amortization and is used as a supplemental financial measure by management to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that adjusted EBITDA assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of derivatives, interest and finance costs, stock-based compensation expense, impairment, and depreciation and amortization expense, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income/(loss) between periods. We believe that including adjusted EBITDA as a financial and operating measure benefits investors in selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives. |
Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in use and should not be considered an alternative to net income/(loss), operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income/(loss). Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be computed consistently with similarly titled measures of other companies and, therefore, might not be comparable with other companies.

| (2) | We define calendar days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was owned or operated pursuant to a bareboat charter. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that are recorded during that period. |
| (3) | We define time chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which we time chartered-in vessels from third parties. Time chartered-in days are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of charter hire expenses that are recorded during that period. |
| (4) | We define available days as the sum of calendar days and time chartered-in days (collectively representing our commercially-managed vessels) less aggregate off hire days associated with scheduled maintenance, which include major repairs, drydockings, vessel upgrades or special or intermediate surveys. We use available days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period that our vessels should be capable of generating revenues. |
| (5) | We define operating days as available days less the aggregate number of days that the commercially-managed vessels in our fleet are off‑hire for any reason other than scheduled maintenance (e.g., repositioning following drydocking, commercial waiting, etc.). We use operating days to measure the number of days in a period that our operating vessels are on hire (refer to 8 below). |
| (6) | We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during that period. An increase in non-scheduled off hire days would reduce our operating days, and, therefore, our fleet utilization. We use fleet utilization to measure our ability to efficiently find suitable employment for our vessels. |
| (7) | Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE rate, is a non-U.S. GAAP measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. TCE rate is a shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period‑to‑period changes in a shipping company's performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (such as time charters, voyage charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Our method of calculating TCE rate is to divide revenue net of voyage expenses by operating days for the relevant time period, which may not be calculated the same by other companies. Note that our calculation of TCE includes our portion of the net profit of the Helios Pool, which may also cause our calculation to differ from that of companies which do not account for pooling arrangements as we do. |

| (8) | We determine operating days for each vessel based on the underlying vessel employment, including our vessels in the Helios Pool, or the Company Methodology. If we were to calculate operating days for each vessel within the Helios Pool as a variable rate time charter, or the Alternate Methodology, our operating days and fleet utilization would be increased with a corresponding reduction to our TCE rate. Operating data using both methodologies is as follows: |

We believe that the Company Methodology using the underlying vessel employment provides more meaningful insight into market conditions and the performance of our vessels.
| (9) | Daily vessel operating expenses are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by calendar days for the relevant time period. |
In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we provide adjusted net income and adjusted EPS. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are useful to investors in understanding our underlying performance and business trends. Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP; therefore, these non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for U.S. GAAP. The following table reconciles net income and EPS to adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, respectively, for the periods presented:
