Revenue (including intersegment revenue) during the first quarter 2022 was USD 1.9 million higher than in the same period of 2021 mainly due to the contribution of the two new VLGCs which are operational since the second half of 2021 and higher rates in all vessel types, partly offset by the unemployment of the LNG-carrier EXCALIBUR and lower number of midsize vessels.
Time Charter Equivalent (in USD per day) | 2022 | 2021 |
Midsize | 23,602 | 23,016 |
VLGC | 31,889 | 28,044 |
Pressurized (3,500 m3) | 7,093 | 5,945 |
Pressurized (5,000 m3) | 9,093 | 8,106 |
Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGC)
The three VLGCs continued to perform under their current contracts.
The VLGC market prospects for the remainder of the year and into 2023 are promising with increased production expected.
Midsize Gas Carriers (MGC)
The Midsize market stayed stable during the first quarter of 2022 and prospects are positive for the remainder of the year despite uncertainties caused by the tragic conflict in Ukraine. We expect an increase in LPG production and a replacement of the loss of Russian export of ammonia by longer ton mile sourced from Middle East and Far East.
The LPG-carrier BRUSSELS was delivered to new owners in January 2022.
Pressurized
The market continues the gradual recovery after COVID-19 hit refinery production and prospects are positive due to expected increased volumes and low newbuild order book.
LNG
The spot market is challenging due to shorter ton mile as a result of strong European product pricing. For our LNG-carrier EXCALIBUR, currently unemployed, we remain positive and are working on various trading or infrastructure possibilities.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Infrastructure | Quarter 1 | Quarter 1 |
Proportionate consolidation (in million USD) | 2022 | 2021 |
Revenue EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA Operating result (EBIT) | 7.5 | 13.9 |
-0.6 | 2.9 | |
-1.8 | 2.9 | |
-4.6 | -1.5 |
The decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2022 versus 2021 is mainly due to the unemployment of the FSRU S188 since June 2021.
Consequently, EBITDA and EBIT of the first quarter 2022 were negatively impacted, but were partially compensated by USD 2.7 million higher other operating income at our U.S. subsidiary (license income and a one-time COVID-19 grant).
Floating LNG barges
On March 17, 2022, EXMAR reached an agreement for a five-year charter for the employment of its floating storage and regasification unit FSRU S188 with GASUNIE LNG Holdings BV ("GASUNIE"). As such, EXMAR and GASUNIE join forces enhancing European energy security with the employment of the FSRU S188 as floating LNG import terminal at Eemshaven in Groningen, the Netherlands. The barge will be transported from Singapore to the Netherlands in May and is expected to arrive at its employment location Eemshaven early August 2022. Water heat recovery for the LNG regasification process and power from shore are envisaged in order to further minimize the environmental impact within the port.
For TANGO FLNG, being a fast-track solution to develop LNG exports, various firm discussions are ongoing for its next employment.
Engineering
EXMAR Offshore Company in Houston realized higher engineering and license revenue following the award of the engineering of a fourth OPTI®-based semisubmersible floating production system.
SUPPORTING SERVICES:
Supporting Services | Quarter 1 | Quarter 1 |
Proportionate consolidation (in million USD) | 2022 | 2021 |
Revenue EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA Operating result (EBIT) | 5.8 | 8.4 |
-2.3 | -0.9 | |
-2.3 | -1.3 | |
-2.3 | -1.1 |
The decrease in revenue at the Supporting Services segment is mainly due to lower activities (less vessels) at EXMAR Shipmanagement in 2022 and no one-off revenue (2021 included USD 0.4 million cancellation fees).
EBIT for Supporting Services in the first quarter of 2022 was USD -2.3 million compared to USD -1.1 million in the first quarter of 2021.
EXMAR repurchased NOK 112.0 million of the NOK bond with maturity date May 27, 2022.
