The declaration and payment of distributions are at all times subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, amongst other things, the risks and uncertainties described above, restrictions in our credit facilities, the provisions of Marshall Islands law and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant.

 

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, except as required by applicable law. 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.

 

However, given the current uncertainty in relation to COVID-19 and in an effort to facilitate robust disclosure, we have identified the following risks and uncertainties or updated the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 3, 2020 and Quarterly Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 7, 2020:

 

Failure to control the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus is negatively affecting the global economy, energy demand and our business.

 

The COVID-19 virus outbreak has introduced uncertainty in a number of areas of our business, including operational, commercial, administrative and financial activities. It has also negatively impacted, and may continue to impact negatively, global economic activity and demand for energy including LNG. As a result of significantly lower demand for oil and refined products and the failure of the principal producers of oil to reduce production in line with the fall in demand, oil prices have fallen by approximately 35% since the end of 2019. Natural gas prices in the primary European and Asian markets for LNG have fallen to an even greater extent. Together with reduced economic activity as a result of the COVID-19 virus, the decline in oil and gas prices has disincentivized trading of LNG and reduced the demand for LNG carriers and may continue to do so in the future. In the financial markets, the virus, and the responses of governments around the world to manage the impact of the virus, have led to lower interest rates and extreme volatility in the prices of equities, bonds, commodities and their respective derivatives. Our unit price has declined significantly this year, due, in part, to the impact of the COVID-19 virus. Record low interest rates and exchange rates, especially the U.S. dollar exchange rate, have required us to post $15.0 million of cash collateral against our current marked-to-market derivative liabilities pursuant to a Credit Support Annex entered into between GasLog Partners and GasLog in March 2020. The ongoing spread of the COVID-19 virus may negatively affect our business and operations, the health of our crews and the availability of our fleet, particularly if crew members contract COVID-19 as well as our financial position and prospects. The reduction in LNG demand and the closure of, or restricted access to, ports and terminals in regions affected by the virus may lead to further reduced chartering activity and, in the extreme, an inability of our charterers to meet their obligations under the terms of their term charters. Furthermore, we may be unable to secure charters for our vessels at rates that are sufficient to meet our financial obligations, particularly for the vessels that are coming off-charter in the next twelve months (the Methane Jane Elizabeth in November 2020, the Methane Heather Sally in December 2020, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris in June 2021). We have three vessels in the spot market, and these vessels are currently experiencing reduced spot charter rates and demand. Continued exposure to the spot market or extended periods of idle time between charters could adversely affect our future liquidity, results of operations and cash flows. Failure to control the spread of the virus could significantly impact economic activity and demand for LNG and LNG shipping which could further negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution. Should the COVID-19 pandemic continue to negatively impact market rates in the long-term, there would be a significant negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition, as well as the future carrying values of our vessels could be further affected due to a potential unfavorable permanent impact in the key assumptions such as the estimates of future charter rates for non-contracted revenue days and the discount rate in our future impairment assessments.

 

Although we have taken extensive measures to limit the impact of COVID-19 on business continuity, including implementation of a strict “work from home” policy for shore-based employees, as required depending on each location, and the commencement of select rotations of offshore personnel where possible, giving effect to local restrictions on the movement of offshore staff, these may not be sufficient to protect our business against the impact of COVID-19.

 

In the remaining months of 2020, three of our vessels are scheduled to be dry-docked and, in 2021, five of our vessels are scheduled to be dry-docked. The dry-dockings for four of these vessels (three in 2020 and one in 2021) will be longer and more costly than normal as a result of the need to install ballast water treatment systems (“BWTS”) on each vessel in order to comply with regulatory requirements. Any delay or cost overrun of the dry-docking could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and could significantly reduce or eliminate our ability to pay distributions on our common or Preference Units.

 

Dry-dockings of our vessels require significant expenditures and result in loss of revenue as our vessels are off-hire during such period. Any significant increase in either the number of off-hire days or in the costs of any repairs or investments carried out during the dry-docking period could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and our cash flows. Given the potential for unforeseen issues arising during dry-docking, we may not be able to predict accurately the time required to dry-dock any of our vessels. In 2020 and 2021, some of the dry-dockings will be longer and more costly than normal as a result of the need to install BWTS on each vessel in order to comply with regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the COVID-19 virus, including the recent “stop work” order in Singapore, may impact the availability of dry-dock yard slots and our ability to source the required personnel and equipment. If more than one of our ships is required to be out of service at the same time, or if a ship is dry-docked longer than expected or if the cost of repairs is greater than budgeted, our results of operations and our cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders, could be adversely affected. The upcoming dry-dockings of our vessels are expected to be carried out in 2020 (three vessels), 2021 (five vessels) and 2023 (four vessels).

Our ability to raise capital to repay or refinance our debt obligations or to fund our maintenance or growth capital expenditures will depend on certain financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. The COVID-19 virus has had a significant impact on all financial markets, including the prices and the volatility of equities, bonds, commodities, interest rates and foreign exchange rates and their associated derivatives, and the availability and cost of liquidity in the bank credit markets. The recent significant fall in the value of our common units may make it difficult or impossible for us to access the equity or equity-linked capital markets. The recent fall in U.S. interest rates, has required us to post cash collateral against our current marked-to-market derivative liabilities. To the extent that we are unable to finance these obligations and expenditures with cash from operations or incremental bank loans or by issuing debt or equity securities, our ability to make cash distributions may be diminished, or our financial leverage may increase, or our unitholders may be diluted. Our business may be adversely affected if we need to access sources of funding which are more expensive and/or more restrictive.

 

To fund our existing and future debt obligations and capital expenditures and any future growth, we will be required to use cash from operations, incur borrowings, and/or seek to access other financing sources including the capital markets. Our access to potential funding sources and our future financial and operating performance will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. The COVID-19 virus is having a significant negative impact on global financial markets. If we are unable to access the capital markets or raise additional bank financing or generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt, capital expenditure and other business requirements, we may be forced to take actions such as:

 

·                  seeking waivers or consents from our creditors;

 

·                  restructuring our debt;

 

·                  seeking additional debt or equity capital;

 

·                  selling assets;

 

·                  further reducing distributions;

 

·                  reducing, delaying or cancelling our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures; or

 

·                  seeking bankruptcy protection.

 

Such measures might not be successful, available on acceptable terms or enable us to meet our debt, capital expenditure and other obligations. Some of these measures may adversely affect our business and reputation. In addition, our financing agreements may restrict our ability to implement some of these measures. Use of cash from operations and possible future sale of certain assets will reduce cash available for distribution to unitholders. Our ability to obtain bank financing or to access the capital markets may be limited by our financial condition at the time of any such financing or offering as well as by adverse market conditions. Following the recent significant fall in the value of our common units, we may not be able to access the equity or equity-linked capital markets. Even if we are successful in obtaining the necessary funds, the terms of such financings could limit our ability to pay cash distributions to unitholders or operate our business as currently conducted. In addition, incurring additional debt may significantly increase our interest expense and financial leverage, and issuing additional equity securities may result in significant unitholder dilution and would increase the aggregate amount of cash required to maintain our quarterly distributions to unitholders. Despite the recent refinancing of the Partnership’s debt maturities due in 2021, our liquidity position could be challenged in the future, and we may need to raise equity in order to remain in compliance with the financial covenants within our loan facilities.

 

Recent Developments

 

On July 16, 2020, GasLog Partners entered into a credit agreement of $260.3 million with BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse AG and Alpha Bank S.A., each an original lender, with BNP Paribas acting as security agent and trustee for and on behalf of the other finance parties mentioned above, in order to refinance the existing indebtedness due in 2021 on three of its vessels. The facility will amortize over ten equal semi-annual installments of $8.6 million beginning in January 2021, with a final balloon amount of $174.3 million payable concurrently with the last installment in July 2025. Interest on the facility will be payable at a rate of U.S. dollar (“USD”) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin. The relevant amount of $260.3 million was drawn on July 21, 2020, out of which $258.5 million was used to refinance the outstanding indebtedness of GAS-twenty Ltd., GAS-seven Ltd. and GAS-eight Ltd., the respective entities owning the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris. The facility includes customary restrictive covenants aligned with the ones in the existing bank credit facilities of the Partnership.

 

Also on July 16, 2020, GasLog Partners entered into a credit agreement of $193.7 million with DNB Bank ASA, London Branch, and ING Bank N.V., London Branch, each an original lender, with DNB Bank ASA, London Branch acting as security agent and trustee for and on behalf of the other finance parties mentioned above, in order to refinance the existing indebtedness due in 2021 with respect to three of its vessels. The facility will amortize over ten equal semi-annual installments of $8.6 million beginning in January 2021, with a final balloon amount of $107.7 million payable concurrently with the last installment in July 2025. Interest on the facility will be payable at a rate of USD LIBOR plus a margin. DNB Bank ASA, London Branch and ING Bank N.V., London Branch were also registered as hedging providers under the facility. The relevant amount of $193.7 million was drawn on July 21, 2020, out of which $174.9 million was used to refinance the outstanding indebtedness of GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty one Ltd. and GAS-twenty seven Ltd., the respective entities owning the Methane Alison Victoria, the Methane Heather Sally and the Methane Becki Anne. The facility includes customary restrictive covenants aligned with the ones in the existing bank credit facilities of the Partnership.

 

As part of the closing of the Partnership’s refinancing in July 2020, the Partnership entered into four new interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $133.3 million due in 2024 and 2025 with the facility lenders DNB Bank ASA, London Branch and ING Bank N.V., London Branch due, all secured under the GasLog Partners’ $193.7 million facility agreement signed on July 16, 2020 in relation to the GAS-nineteen Ltd., the GAS-twenty Ltd. and the GAS-twenty seven Ltd., the vessel owning entities of the Methane Alison Victoria, the Methane Heather Sally and the Methane Becki Anne.

 

As of June 30, 2020, GasLog held a 35.6% interest in the Partnership (including 2.0% through general partner units). As a result of its 100% 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.

COVID-19 Update

 

Operational update

 

GasLog Partners and GasLog’s focus continues to be on ensuring the health and safety of our employees while providing safe and reliable operations for our customers.

 

·                  Beginning on June 1, 2020, employees at our Piraeus, Greece location returned to the office on a rotational basis at a capacity of approximately 50.0%. Piraeus office personnel have been provided with the appropriate personal protective equipment and modifications were made to the office’s floor plan to ensure social distancing; plexiglass dividers were installed and enhanced cleaning procedures have been enacted. All other onshore locations continue under a “work from home” policy in accordance with local guidelines and regulations;

·                  Crew changes continue to be planned at every opportunity and to date GasLog has been able to rotate approximately 80.0% of the officers and a smaller percentage of the other ranks. The majority of the crew rotation difficulties we face, are due to continued lockdowns in Singapore and the Philippines; and

·                  As a result of these measures, and the dedication of employees onshore and aboard our vessels, approximately 100% of our fleet continues to be available for commercial use.

 

Commercial update

 

COVID-19 placed downward pressure on economic activity and energy demand during the second quarter and there remains significant uncertainty regarding near-term LNG demand and, therefore, LNG shipping requirements.

 

·                  The Partnership’s charter coverage for the remainder of 2020 is 86%;

·                  The combined impact of COVID-19 and normal seasonality has led to greater volatility in spot rates; and

·                  The utilization and earnings of our vessels trading in the spot market may be materially lower than their earnings under their initial multi-year charters.

 

Financial update

 

COVID-19 has had a sustained impact on global capital and bank credit markets, affecting access, timing and cost of capital.

 

·                  Notwithstanding COVID-19, we have refinanced in full the Partnership’s debt maturities due in 2021 with two new credit facilities representing a total of $454.0 million, strengthening the balance sheet and delivering $14.9 million of incremental liquidity to the Partnership.

·                  As of June 30, 2020, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $18.8 million in aggregate on certain of our steam turbine propulsion (“Steam”) vessels due to uncertainty regarding the effects of COVID-19 in the short-term spot market, as discussed in the Commercial update above.

 

Cash Distribution

 

On August 4, 2020, the board of directors of GasLog Partners approved and declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.125 per common unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The cash distribution is payable on August 20, 2020 to all unitholders of record as of August 17, 2020. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution will be $6.0 million based on the number of units issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

 

Overview

 

Since our initial public offering (“IPO”) in May 2014, we have been a growth-oriented limited partnership focused on acquiring, owning and operating LNG carriers engaged in LNG transportation under multi-year charters, growing our fleet from three vessels at the time of our IPO to 15 today, of which ten have tri-fuel diesel electric (“TFDE”) propulsion technology and five are Steam vessels.

 

As of June 30, 2020, our fleet consisted of 15 LNG carriers, including ten vessels with TFDE propulsion and five Steam vessels. We also have options and other rights under which we may acquire additional LNG carriers from GasLog, as described below. We believe that such options and rights could provide us with built-in growth opportunities, subject to certain conditions described below. We may also acquire vessels or other LNG infrastructure assets from shipyards or other owners. However, we cannot assure you that we will make any particular acquisition or that, as a consequence, we will successfully grow our distributions per common unit. Among other things, our ability to acquire additional LNG carriers or other LNG infrastructure assets will be dependent upon our ability to raise additional equity and debt financing.

(2)                Charterer may extend the term of this time charter for a period ranging from one to seven years, provided that the charterer gives us advance notice of declaration. The period shown reflects the expiration of the minimum optional period and the maximum optional period.

(3)                The vessel is chartered to Singapore Carbon Hydrogen Energy Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of JOVO Group (“JOVO”). The charter commenced on July 12, 2020.

(4)                The vessel is chartered to Clearlake Shipping Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of Gunvor Group Ltd. (“Gunvor”).

(5)                Charterer may extend the term of the time charters by two additional periods of five and three years, respectively, provided that the charterer gives us advance notice of declaration. The period shown reflects the expiration of the minimum optional period and the maximum optional period.

(6)                Charterer may extend the term of the related charter for one extension period of three or five years, provided that the charterer gives us advance notice of its exercise of any extension option. The period shown reflects the expiration of the minimum optional period and the maximum optional period.

(7)                Charterer may extend the term of these time charters for a period of five years, provided that the charterer gives us advance notice of declaration.

 

 

Charter Expirations

 

The Methane Jane Elizabeth and the Methane Heather Sally are due to come off charter in November 2020 and December 2020, respectively, while the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris are both due to come off charter in June 2021. GasLog Partners has secured a two-year charter for the Methane Shirley Elisabeth and continues to pursue opportunities for new term charters with third parties, while trading the vessels in the spot market and pursuing the most advantageous redeployment depending on evolving market conditions. Given the current lack of liquidity in the term charter market for Steam vessels in particular, the utilization and earnings of our vessels trading in the spot market may be materially lower than their earnings under their initial multi-year charters with Shell.

 

 

Additional Vessels

 

Five-Year Vessel Business Opportunities

 

GasLog has agreed, and has caused its controlled affiliates (other than us, our general partner and our subsidiaries) to agree, not to acquire, own, operate or charter any LNG carrier with a cargo capacity greater than 75,000 cbm engaged in oceangoing LNG transportation under a charter for five full years or more without, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the acquisition or the commencement of the operations or charter of such a vessel, notifying us and offering us the opportunity to purchase such vessel at fair market value. We refer to these vessels, together with any related charters, as “Five-Year Vessels”. The four newbuildings and five on-the-water vessels listed below will each qualify as a Five-Year Vessel upon commencement of their respective charters and GasLog will be required to offer to us an opportunity to purchase each vessel at fair market value within 30 days of the commencement of its charter. Generally, we must exercise this right of first offer within 30 days following the notice from GasLog that the vessel has been acquired or has become a Five-Year Vessel.

Results of Operations

 

Our results set forth below are derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership. The transfer of the GasLog Glasgow from GasLog to the Partnership on April 1, 2019 was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control under IFRS. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiaries assuming that they are consolidated from the dates of their incorporation by GasLog as they were under the common control of GasLog. The Partnership’s historical results were retroactively restated to reflect the historical results of the acquired entity during the period it was owned by GasLog.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, we had an average of 15 vessels operating in our owned fleet having 1,340 revenue operating days, while during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, we had an average of 15 vessels operating in our owned fleet having 1,318 revenue operating days.

 

Revenues: Revenues decreased by $7.4 million, or 8.1%, from $91.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $84.4 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in revenues is mainly attributable to the expirations of the initial multi-year time charters of the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea in October 2019, January 2020 and April 2020, respectively. Following the expirations of their initial charters, the Methane Jane Elizabeth was re-chartered to Trafigura in November 2019, while the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea have been trading in the current weak spot market, as impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease in revenues was partially offset by the increased revenues of the GasLog Shanghai in the second quarter of 2020 as result of its re-chartering to Gunvor in June 2019 under a time charter with a variable, market-linked rate of hire (achieving 100% utilization). The average daily hire rate decreased from $68,511 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $64,073 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.

 

Net Pool Allocation:  Net pool allocation was $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $0.0 million in the three months

 

23


 

ended June 30, 2020, following the removal in June 2019 of the GasLog Shanghai from the Cool Pool, an LNG carrier pooling arrangement operated by GasLog and Golar LNG Ltd. (the “Cool Pool”) to market their vessels operating in the LNG shipping spot market.

 

Voyage Expenses and Commissions:  Voyage expenses and commissions increased by $0.8 million or 40.0%, from $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $2.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in voyage expenses and commissions is mainly attributable to an increase in bunker consumption costs due to the operation of the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea in the spot market in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Vessel Operating Costs: Vessel operating costs decreased by $1.6 million, or 8.6%, from $18.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $16.9 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in vessel operating costs is mainly attributable to a decrease of $0.7 million in technical maintenance expenses (due to one-off maintenance costs incurred in the second quarter of 2019) and a decrease of $0.4 million in crew wages, mainly due to reduced crew travelling costs due to COVID-19 restrictions. As a result, daily operating costs per vessel (after excluding calendar days for the Solaris) decreased from $14,559 per day for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $13,261 per day for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.

 

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.3 million, or 6.4%, from $4.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $4.4 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to decreased administrative services fees of $0.3 million, mainly due to the decrease of the annual fee payable to GasLog in 2020 by almost $0.1 million per vessel per year.

 

Impairment Loss on Vessels: Impairment loss on vessels was nil for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 and $18.8 million for the same period in 2020. The impairment loss recorded as of June 30, 2020 was recognized with respect to three of the Partnership’s Steam vessels (the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth and the Methane Heather Sally), as a result of anticipated increases in volatility in the spot charter market over the near term from COVID-19 pandemic related impacts to LNG and LNG shipping demand.

 

Financial Costs: Financial costs decreased by $5.4 million, or 29.2%, from $18.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $13.1 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in financial costs is mainly attributable to a decrease of $5.4 million in interest expense on loans, primarily due to the lower London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rates in the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, we had an average of $1,424.3 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 4.7%, compared to an average of $1,346.2 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 3.4% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.

 

Loss/gain on Derivatives: Loss/gain on derivatives decreased by $8.7 million, from a loss of $8.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to a gain of $0.4 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease is attributable to a $10.1 million net decrease in unrealized loss from the mark-to-market valuation of derivatives held for trading which were carried at fair value through profit or loss (reflecting a net loss of $8.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to a gain of $1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020), partially offset by a net increase of $1.4 million in realized loss on derivatives held for trading (reflecting a net gain of $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to a loss of $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020).

 

Profit for the Period: Profit for the period decreased by $10.9 million, or 57.1%, from $19.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $8.2 million for the same period in 2020, as a result of the aforementioned factors.

 

Profit attributable to the Partnership: Profit attributable to the Partnership decreased by $10.9 million, or 57.1%, from $19.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $8.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is mainly attributable to the impairment loss recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $18.8 million, partially offset by a $10.1 million net decrease in loss from the mark-to-market valuation of the derivatives attributable to the Partnership, which were carried at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Specifically, the profit attributable to the Partnership was mainly affected by (a) a decrease in revenues of $7.4 million mainly due to the expirations of the initial time charters of the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea in October 2019, January 2020 and April 2020, respectively), (b) an increase in voyage expenses and commissions attributable to the Partnership of $0.8 million, mainly due to the operation of the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea in the spot market in the three months ended June 30, 2020, and (c) a decrease in operating expenses attributable to the Partnership of $1.6 million.

 

In addition, the profit attributable to the Partnership was further affected by (a) a decrease in financial costs attributable to the Partnership of $5.4 million and (b) a decrease of $8.7 million in loss on derivatives attributable to the Partnership.

 

The above discussion of revenues, operating expenses, depreciation expense, financial costs and loss on derivatives in relation to the Profit attributable to the Partnership for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 are non-GAAP measures that exclude amounts related to vessels currently owned by the Partnership for the periods prior to their respective transfers to GasLog Partners from GasLog. For a reconciliation of the results attributable to the Partnership to the most directly comparable IFRS reported results, refer to Appendix A included elsewhere in this report.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, we had an average of 15 vessels operating in our owned fleet having 2,684 revenue operating days, while during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, we had an average of 15 vessels operating in our owned fleet having 2,591 revenue operating days.

 

Revenues: Revenues decreased by $9.9 million, or 5.3%, from $185.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $175.8 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in revenues is mainly attributable to the expirations of the initial multi-year time charters of the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea in October 2019, January 2020 and April 2020, respectively. Following the expirations of their initial charters, the Methane Jane Elizabeth was re-chartered to Trafigura in November 2019, while the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea have been trading in the spot market. This decrease in revenues was partially offset by the increased revenues from the GasLog Shanghai as result of its re-chartering to Gunvor in June 2019 under a time charter with a variable, market-linked rate of hire (achieving 100% utilization). The average daily hire rate decreased from $69,184 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $67,851 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

 

Net Pool Allocation:  Net pool allocation was $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $0.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 following the removal in June 2019 of the GasLog Shanghai from the Cool Pool.

 

Voyage Expenses and Commissions:  Voyage expenses and commissions increased by $2.8 million, or 71.8%, from $3.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $6.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in voyage expenses and commissions is mainly attributable to an increase in bunker consumption costs due to the operation of the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea in the spot market in the first six months of 2020.

 

Vessel Operating Costs: Vessel operating costs decreased by $1.2 million, or 3.2%, from $37.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $36.0 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in vessel operating costs is mainly attributable to a decrease of $0.7 million in crew wages, mainly due to the favorable movement of the EUR/USD exchange rate as compared to the same period in 2019, combined with decreased crew travelling costs due to COVID-19 restrictions. As a result, daily operating costs per vessel (after excluding calendar days for the Solaris) decreased from $14,672 per day for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $14,124 per day for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

 

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or 8.5%, from $9.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $8.6 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to decreased administrative services fees of $0.5 million, mainly due to the decrease of the annual fee payable to GasLog in 2020 by almost $0.1 million per vessel per year.

 

Impairment Loss on Vessels: Impairment loss on vessels was nil for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and $18.8 million for the same period in 2020. The impairment loss recorded as of June 30, 2020 was recognized with respect to three of the Partnership’s Steam vessels (the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth and the Methane Heather Sally), as a result of anticipated increases in volatility in the spot charter market over the near term from COVID-19 pandemic related impacts to LNG and LNG shipping demand.

 

Financial Costs: Financial costs decreased by $9.5 million, or 24.9%, from $38.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $28.6 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in financial costs is attributable to a decrease of $8.5 million in interest expense on loans, primarily due to the lower LIBOR rates in the first six months of 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, and a decrease of $1.0 million in amortization of deferred loan issuance costs. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, we had an average of $1,399.5 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 4.8%, compared to an average of $1,349.2 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 3.7% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

 

Loss on Derivatives: Loss on derivatives increased by $0.7 million, or 5.3%, from $13.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $13.8 million for the same period in 2020. The increase is attributable to a decrease of $2.6 million in realized gain on derivatives held for trading, which reflected a gain of $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to a loss of $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, partially offset by a net decrease of $2.1 million in unrealized loss from the mark-to-market valuation of derivatives held for trading which were carried at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Profit for the Period: Profit for the period decreased by $19.8 million, or 46.9%, from $42.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $22.4 million for the same period in 2020, as a result of the aforementioned factors.

 

25


 

Profit Attributable to the Partnership: Profit attributable to the Partnership decreased by $17.1 million, or 43.3%, from $39.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $22.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is mainly attributable to the impairment loss recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020, partially offset by the incremental profits from the acquisition of the GasLog Glasgow on April 1, 2019.

 

Specifically, the profit attributable to the Partnership was mainly affected by (a) a decrease in revenues of $2.3 million (a decrease in revenues of $10.0 million mainly due to the expirations of the initial time charters of the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea in October 2019, January 2020 and April 2020, respectively, partially offset by $7.7 million contributed by the GasLog Glasgow after its drop-down to the Partnership), and (b) an increase in voyage expenses and commissions attributable to the Partnership of $2.9 million, mainly due to the operation of the Methane Alison Victoria and the Methane Rita Andrea in the spot market in the first six months of 2020.

 

In addition, the profit attributable to the Partnership was further affected by (a) a decrease in financial costs attributable to the Partnership of $7.8 million and (b) an increase of $0.6 million in loss on derivatives attributable to the Partnership.

 

The above discussion of revenues, operating expenses, depreciation expense, financial costs and unrealized gain on derivatives in relation to the Profit attributable to the Partnership for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 are non-GAAP measures that exclude amounts related to vessels currently owned by the Partnership for the periods prior to their respective transfers to GasLog Partners from GasLog. For a reconciliation of the results attributable to the Partnership to the most directly comparable IFRS reported results, refer to Appendix A included elsewhere in this report.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We operate in a capital-intensive industry and we expect to finance the purchase of additional vessels and other capital expenditures through a combination of borrowings from commercial banks, cash generated from operations and debt and equity financings, if any. In addition to paying distributions and potentially repurchasing common units, our other liquidity requirements relate to paying our operating and general and administrative expenses, servicing our debt, funding investments, funding working capital and maintaining cash reserves against fluctuations in operating cash flows. Our funding and treasury activities are intended to maximize investment returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity and complying with our financial covenants under our debt facilities.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had $72.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $53.3 million was held in current accounts and $18.9 million was held in time deposits with an original duration of less than three months. As of June 30, 2020, an amount of $15.0 million was held as cash collateral with respect to our derivative instruments with GasLog, pursuant to a Credit Support Annex entered into between GasLog Partners and GasLog in March 2020, which has a maximum cash collateral requirement of $15.0 million and a termination date of December 31, 2020.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had an aggregate of $1,319.1 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities, of which $313.0 million was repayable within one year. On July 21, 2020, we drew down $454.0 million under the new facilities entered into on July 16, 2020 and prepaid in full an amount of $433.4 million of aggregate outstanding debt, which would have been due in April and July 2021. In addition, as of June 30, 2020, we had unused availability under our revolving credit facilities of $30.0 million.

 

The Partnership has entered into six interest rate swap agreements with GasLog at a notional value of $625.0 million in aggregate, maturing between 2020 and 2024. As a result of its hedging agreements, the Partnership has hedged 46.8% of its floating interest rate exposure on its outstanding debt as of June 30, 2020, at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.9% (excluding margin).

 

As part of the closing of the Partnership’s refinancing in July 2020, the Partnership entered into four new interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $133.3 million due in 2024 and 2025 with the facility lenders DNB Bank ASA, London Branch and ING Bank N.V., London Branch, all secured under the GasLog Partners $193.7 million facility agreement signed on July 16, 2020 in relation to the GAS-nineteen Ltd., the GAS-twenty Ltd. and the GAS-twenty seven Ltd., the vessel owning entities of the Methane Alison Victoria, the Methane Heather Sally and the Methane Becki Anne.

 

Furthermore, the Partnership has in place six forward foreign exchange contracts with GasLog with a notional value of €9.6 million and 3 forward foreign exchange contracts with GasLog with a notional value of Singapore $0.8 million, with staggered maturities within 2020, to mitigate its foreign exchange transaction exposure in its operating expenses.

 

Working Capital Position

 

As of June 30, 2020, our current assets totaled $105.9 million and current liabilities totaled $387.2 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $281.3 million. Current liabilities include $318.3 million of loans due within one year, $243.0 million of which was refinanced on July 16, 2020.

 

Management monitors the Partnership’s liquidity position throughout the year to ensure that it has access to sufficient funds to meet its forecast cash requirements, including debt service commitments, and to monitor compliance with the financial covenants within its loan facilities. Taking into account current and expected volatile commercial and financial market conditions, we anticipate that our primary sources of funds over the next 12 months will be available cash, cash from operations and existing debt, including the credit agreements entered into on July 16, 2020, which refinanced in full the debt maturities due in 2021. We believe that these anticipated sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs and to comply with our banking covenants for at least 12 months from the end of the reporting period. Additionally, we may enter into new

debt facilities in the future, as well as public equity or debt instruments, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, which will also depend on financial, commercial and other factors, as well as a significant recovery in capital market conditions, that are beyond our control.

Net Cash provided by Operating Activities:

 

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $25.5 million, from $91.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $66.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $25.5 million is mainly attributable to a $17.2 million movement in working capital accounts (mainly driven by the $15.0 million of cash collateral deposited with GasLog), a decrease of $10.9 million in revenues, a decrease of $2.6 million in realized gain on derivatives held for trading and a net increase of $0.6 million in vessel operating costs, voyage expenses and commissions and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $5.9 million in cash paid for interest.

 

Net Cash used in Investing Activities:

 

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $1.1 million, from $10.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $11.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $1.1 million is attributable to an increase of net cash used in payments for vessels of $9.3 million (mainly related to dry-dockings and BWTS), a decrease of $0.8 million in financial income received, partially offset by an increase in net cash from short-term investments of $9.0 million.

 

Net Cash used in Financing Activities:

 

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $66.3 million, from $145.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $79.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $66.3 million is attributable to a decrease of $347.3 million in bank loan repayments, a decrease of $93.7 million in cash remittance to GasLog in exchange for contribution of net assets, a decrease of $21.8 million in distributions paid, a decrease of $8.9 million in cash used for repurchases of common units, a decrease of $4.8 million in payments of loan issuance costs, and a decrease in payments of equity offering costs of $0.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in bank loan drawdowns of $409.1 million and a decrease of $2.0 million in proceeds from issuances of general partner units.

(1)      Reflects time charter revenues and contracted days for the 15 LNG carriers in our fleet as of June 30, 2020.

(2)      Our ships are scheduled to undergo dry-docking once every five years. Revenue calculations assume 365 revenue days per ship per annum, with 30 off-hire days when each ship undergoes scheduled dry-docking.

(3)      For time charters that include a fixed operating cost component, subject to annual escalation, revenue calculations include that fixed annual escalation. Revenue calculations for such charters include an estimate of the amount of the operating cost component and the management fee component.

(4)      For time charters that include a variable rate of hire within an agreed range during the charter period, revenue calculations are based on the agreed minimum rate of hire for the respective period.

(5)      Revenue calculations assume no exercise of any option to extend the terms of the charters.

(6)      Available days represent total calendar days after deducting 30 off-hire days when the ship undergoes scheduled dry-docking.

(7)      Represents available days for the ships after the expiration of the existing charters (assuming charterers do not exercise any option to extend the terms of the charters).

The table above provides information about our contracted charter revenues and ship utilization based on contracts in effect for the 15 LNG carriers in our fleet as of June 30, 2020. 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. In particular, the table does not reflect time charter revenues from 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. If exercised, the options to extend 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 non-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 on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 3, 2020. 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 Partnership’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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020

(All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except unit data)

 

1. Organization and Operations

 

GasLog Partners LP (“GasLog Partners” or the “Partnership”) was formed as a limited partnership under the laws of the Marshall Islands on January 23, 2014, as a wholly owned subsidiary of GasLog for the purpose of initially acquiring the interests in three liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) carriers (or the “Initial Fleet”) that were contributed to the Partnership by GasLog in connection with the initial public offering of its common units (the “IPO”).

 

On April 1, 2019, GasLog Partners acquired 100% of the ownership interests in GAS-twelve Ltd., the entity that owns a 174,000 cubic meters (“cbm”) LNG carrier, the GasLog Glasgow, for an aggregate purchase price of $214,000.

 

The above acquisition was accounted for as a reorganization of companies under common control. The Partnership’s historical results and net assets were retroactively restated to reflect the historical results of the acquired entity from its date of incorporation by GasLog. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities included are based on the historical carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities recognized by the subsidiary.

 

As of June 30, 2020, GasLog holds a 35.6% ownership interest in the Partnership (including 2.0% through its general partner interest). As a result of its 100% 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.

 

The Partnership’s principal business is the acquisition and operation of vessels in the LNG market, providing LNG transportation services on a worldwide basis primarily under multi-year charters. GasLog LNG Services Ltd. (“GasLog LNG Services” or the “Manager”), a related party and a wholly owned subsidiary of GasLog, incorporated under the laws of the Bermuda, provides technical services to the Partnership.

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 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 Partnership’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on an Annual Report on Form 20-F with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 3, 2020.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiaries assuming that they are consolidated for all periods presented, as they were under the common control of GasLog.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as applied in the preparation of the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. On August 5, 2020, the Partnership’s board of directors authorized the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for issuance.

 

The critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty were disclosed in the Partnership’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and remain unchanged.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars (“USD”), which is the functional currency of the Partnership and each of its subsidiaries because their vessels operate in international shipping markets, in which revenues and

 

F-6


 

expenses are primarily settled in USD and the Partnership’s most significant assets and liabilities are paid for and settled in USD.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Partnership’s current assets totaled $105,901 while current liabilities totaled $387,170, resulting in a negative working capital position of $281,269. Current liabilities include $318,256 of loans due within one year, $242,974 of which was refinanced on July 16, 2020 (Note 20). In considering going concern, management has reviewed the Partnership’s future cash requirements, covenant compliance and earnings projections, incorporating the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on near-term market rates.

 

Management monitors the Partnership’s liquidity position throughout the year to ensure that it has access to sufficient funds to meet its forecast cash requirements, including debt service commitments, and to monitor compliance with the financial covenants within its loan facilities. Taking into account current and expected volatile commercial and financial market conditions, management anticipates that the Partnership’s primary sources of funds over the next 12 months will be available cash, cash from operations and existing debt, including the credit agreements entered into on July 16, 2020, which refinanced in full the debt maturities due in 2021. Management believes that these anticipated sources of funds will be sufficient for the Partnership to meet its liquidity needs and to comply with its banking covenants for at least 12 months from the end of the reporting period and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, Additionally, the Partnership may enter into new debt facilities in the future, as well as public equity or debt instruments, although there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to the Partnership, which will also depend on financial, commercial and other factors, as well as a significant recovery in capital market conditions, that are beyond our control.

 

The Partnership keeps under constant review the possible implications of the COVID-19 outbreak and the associated effects on the LNG shipping market to allow current assessments of the impact of the virus to be incorporated into the latest full-year estimates in order to identify risks to future liquidity and covenant compliance and to enable management to take corrective actions, if required.

 

Adoption of new and revised IFRS

 

(a) Standards and interpretations adopted in the current period

 

The following standards and amendments relevant to the Partnership were effective in the current period:

 

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations with respect to the definition of a business. The amendments are intended to assist entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs and introduce an optional fair value concentration test. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements, since the acquisitions of vessel-owning entities from GasLog continue to be assessed as business acquisitions under the revised definition as well.

 

All other IFRS standards and amendments that became effective in the current period are not relevant to the Partnership or are not material with respect to the Partnership’s financial statements.

 

(b) Standards and amendments in issue not yet adopted

 

In January 2020, the IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, to clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date (for example, the receipt of a waiver or a breach of covenant). The amendment also defines the “settlement” of a liability as the extinguishment of a liability with cash, other economic resources or an entity’s own equity instruments. The amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and should be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. Earlier application is permitted. Management anticipates that this amendment will not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

 

At the date of authorization of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, there were no IFRS standards and amendments issued but not yet adopted with an expected material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements.

(i)        Commercial Management Agreements

 

Upon completion of the initial public offering (“IPO”) on May 12, 2014, the vessel-owning subsidiaries of the Initial Fleet entered into amended commercial management agreements with GasLog (the “Amended Commercial Management Agreements”), pursuant to which GasLog provides certain commercial management services, including chartering services, consultancy services on market issues and invoicing and collection of hire payables, to the Partnership. The annual commercial management fee under the amended agreements is $360 for each vessel payable quarterly in advance in lump sum amounts. In December 2013, GAS-seven Ltd. entered into a commercial management agreement with GasLog for an annual commercial management fee of $540 that was amended to $360 when the vessel was acquired by the Partnership on November 1, 2016. Additionally, in June 2015, GAS-eight Ltd. entered into a commercial management agreement with GasLog for an annual commercial management fee of $360.

 

The same provisions are included in the commercial management agreements that GAS-eleven Ltd., GAS-twelve Ltd., GAS-thirteen Ltd., GAS-fourteen Ltd., GAS-sixteen Ltd., GAS-seventeen Ltd., GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd., GAS-twenty one Ltd. and GAS-twenty seven Ltd. entered into with GasLog upon the deliveries of the GasLog Greece, the GasLog Glasgow, the GasLog Geneva, the GasLog Gibraltar, the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Alison Victoria, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the Methane Heather Sally and the Methane Becki Anne, respectively, into GasLog’s fleet in March 2016, June 2016, September 2016, October 2016, April 2014, June 2014 and March 2015 (together with the Amended Commercial Management Agreements and the commercial management agreements entered into by GAS-seven Ltd. and GAS-eight Ltd. with GasLog, the “Commercial Management Agreements”).

 

(ii)  Administrative Services Agreement

 

Upon completion of the IPO on May 12, 2014, the Partnership entered into an administrative services agreement (the “Administrative Services Agreement”) with GasLog, pursuant to which GasLog will provide certain management and administrative services. The services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement are provided as the Partnership may direct, and include bookkeeping, audit, legal, insurance, administrative, clerical, banking, financial, advisory, client and investor relations services. The Administrative Services Agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated by the Partnership upon 90 days’ notice for any reason in the sole discretion of the Partnership’s board of directors. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the service fee was amended to $608 per vessel per year. With effect from January 1, 2020, the service fee was reduced to $523 per vessel per year.

 

(iii)    Ship Management Agreements

 

Upon completion of the IPO on May 12, 2014, each of the vessel owning subsidiaries of the Initial Fleet entered into an amended ship management agreement (collectively, the “Amended Ship Management Agreements”) under which the vessel owning subsidiaries pay a management fee of $46 per month to the Manager and reimburse the Manager for all expenses incurred on their behalf. The Amended Ship Management Agreements also provide for superintendent fees of $1 per day payable to the Manager for each day in excess of 25 days per calendar year for which a superintendent performed visits to the vessels, an annual incentive bonus of up to $72 based on key performance indicators predetermined annually and contain clauses for decreased management fees in case of a vessel’s lay-up. The management fees are subject to an annual adjustment, agreed between the parties in good faith, on the basis of general inflation and proof of increases in actual costs incurred by the Manager. Each Amended Ship Management Agreement continues indefinitely until terminated by either party. The same provisions are included in the ship management agreements that GAS-sixteen Ltd., GAS-seventeen Ltd., GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd., GAS-twenty one Ltd. and GAS-twenty seven Ltd. entered into with the Manager upon the deliveries of the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Alison Victoria, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the Methane Heather Sally and the Methane Becki Anne, respectively, into GasLog’s fleet in April 2014, June 2014 and

 

F-8


 

March 2015 (together with the Amended Ship Management Agreements and the ship management agreement that GAS-seven Ltd. entered into with the Manager upon its vessel’s delivery from the shipyard in 2013, the “Ship Management Agreements”). In May 2015, the Ship Management Agreements were further amended to delete the annual incentive bonus and superintendent fees clauses and, in the case of GAS-seven Ltd., to also increase the fixed monthly charge to $46 with effect from April 1, 2015. In April 2016, the Ship Management Agreements were amended to consolidate all ship management related fees into a single fee structure. This single fee structure was already provided for in the ship management agreements that GAS-eleven Ltd., GAS-twelve Ltd., GAS-thirteen Ltd. and GAS-fourteen Ltd. had entered into with GasLog upon the deliveries of the GasLog Greece in March 2016, the GasLog Glasgow in June 2016, the GasLog Geneva in September 2016 and the GasLog Gibraltar in October 2016, respectively (with a fixed monthly charge of $46).

 

(iv)    In the period from May 2018 until June 2019, the Partnership, through the GasLog Shanghai, participated in the Cool Pool, an LNG carrier pooling arrangement operated by GasLog and Golar LNG Ltd. (the “Cool Pool”) to market their vessels operating in the LNG shipping spot market.

All vessels have been pledged as collateral under the terms of the Partnership’s bank loan agreements.

 

Following the acquisition of (i) the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth, (ii) the Methane Alison Victoria, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth and the Methane Heather Sally and (iii) the Methane Becki Anne, the Partnership, through its subsidiaries (i) GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd., (ii) GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd., GAS-twenty one Ltd., and (iii) GAS-twenty seven Ltd., respectively, was counter guarantor for the acquisition from BG Group plc of depot spares purchased with respect to the aforementioned vessels. In June 2020, the Partnership acquired from GasLog the relevant spares at a cost of $2,719.

 

As of June 30, 2020, a number of negative indicators, such as the downward pressure on economic activity and energy demand, as well as the significant uncertainty regarding future LNG demand and, therefore LNG shipping requirements pursuant to the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with our reduced expectations for the estimated rates at which employment for the Partnership’s vessels could be secured over the near-term in the spot market, prompted the Partnership to perform an impairment assessment of its vessels in accordance with the Partnership’s accounting policy. The recoverable amounts (values in use) for three steam turbine propulsion (“Steam”) vessels owned by the Partnership, i.e. the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth and the Methane Heather Sally calculated as per above were lower than the respective carrying amounts of these vessels and, consequently, an aggregate impairment loss of $18,841 was recognized in profit or loss in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

The most sensitive and/or subjective assumptions that have the potential to affect the outcome of the impairment assessment for the Steam vessels are the projected charter hire rate used to forecast future cash flows for non-contracted revenue days (the “re-chartering rate”) and the discount rate used. The average re-chartering rate over the remaining useful life of the vessels used in our impairment exercise for the Steam vessels was $39 per day. Increasing/decreasing the average re-chartering rate used by $5 per day would result in an aggregate (decrease)/increase in the impairment charge of $(105,540)/98,878. The discount rate used for the Steam vessels was 5.8% as of June 30, 2020. Increasing/decreasing the discount rate by 0.5% would increase/(decrease) the impairment loss by $21,793/($11,335), respectively.

7. Partners’ Equity

 

On January 29, 2019, the board of directors of GasLog Partners authorized a unit repurchase programme of up to $25,000 covering the period January 31, 2019 to December 31, 2021. Under the terms of the repurchase programme, GasLog Partners may repurchase common units from time to time, at its discretion, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Since the authorization of the unit repurchase programme and through December 31, 2019, GasLog Partners has repurchased and cancelled a total of 1,171,572 units at a weighted average price of $19.52 per common unit for a total amount of $22,890, including commissions.

 

On February 5, 2020, the board of directors of GasLog Partners authorized a renewal of the unit repurchase programme taking the total authority outstanding under the programme to $25,000, to be utilized from February 10, 2020 to December 31, 2021. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, GasLog Partners repurchased and cancelled a total of 191,490 units at a weighted average price of $5.18 per common unit for a total amount of $996, including commissions.

 

On April 3, 2020, GasLog Partners issued 46,843 common units in connection with the vesting of 25,551 RCUs and 21,292 PCUs under its 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and an additional 21,589 common units in connection with the vesting of 11,776 RCUs and 9,813 PCUs on June 30, 2020. Subsequently, on July 1, 2020, GasLog Partners issued 415,000 common units in connection with GasLog’s option to convert the first tranche of its Class B units issued upon the elimination of IDRs in June 2019 (Note 20).

Interest rate swap agreements

 

The Partnership enters into interest rate swap agreements which convert the floating interest rate exposure into a fixed interest rate in order to hedge a portion of the Partnership’s exposure to fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the counterparty effects quarterly floating-rate payments to the Partnership for the notional amount based on the three-month USD London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and the Partnership effects quarterly payments to the counterparty on the notional amount at the respective fixed rates.

* Pursuant to the Credit Support Annex entered into in March 2020, whereby GasLog Partners agreed to effect deposit cash collateral payments with GasLog in connection with its derivative instruments with GasLog (Note 3), the fixed interest rates of the interest rate swaps were decreased by 20 basis points or 0.2%.

 

The derivative instruments listed above were not designated as cash flow hedging instruments as of June 30, 2020. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to a gain of $1,034 and a loss of $12,148, respectively (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, a loss of $9,112 and $14,609, respectively), which was recognized in profit or loss in the period incurred and is included in Loss/(gain) on derivatives. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the gain of $1,034/ loss of $12,148, respectively (Note 14), was attributable to changes in the LIBOR yield curve, which was used to calculate the present value of the estimated future cash flows, resulting in a decrease/increase in net derivative liabilities from interest rate swaps held for trading.

 

Forward foreign exchange contracts

 

The Partnership uses non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate foreign exchange transaction exposures in Euros (“EUR”) and Singapore Dollars (“SGD”). Under these non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts, the counterparties (GasLog and the Partnership) settle the difference between the fixed exchange rate and the prevailing rate on the agreed notional amounts on the respective settlement dates. All forward foreign exchange contracts are considered by management to be part of economic hedge arrangements but have not been formally designated as such.

16. Cash Distributions

 

On February 5, 2020, the board of directors of the Partnership approved and declared a quarterly cash distribution, with respect to the quarter ended December 31, 2019, of $0.561 per common unit. The cash distribution of $26,754 was paid on February 21, 2020 to all unitholders of record as of February 18, 2020.

 

On February 5, 2020, the board of directors of the Partnership approved and declared a distribution on the Series A Preference Units of $0.5390625 per preference unit, a distribution on the Series B Preference Units of $0.5125 per preference unit and a distribution on the Series C Preference Units of $0.53125 per preference unit. The aggregate cash distributions of $7,582 were paid on March 16, 2020 to all unitholders of record as of March 9, 2020.

 

On May 6, 2020, the board of directors of the Partnership approved and declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.125 per common unit for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The cash distribution of $5,967 was paid on May 21, 2020 to all unitholders of record as of May 18, 2020.

 

On May 14, 2020, the board of directors of the Partnership approved and declared a distribution on the Series A Preference Units of $0.5390625 per preference unit, a distribution on the Series B Preference Units of $0.5125 per preference unit and a distribution on the Series C Preference Units of $0.53125 per preference unit. The aggregate cash distributions of $7,582 were paid on June 15, 2020 to all unitholders of record as of June 8, 2020.

 

 

17. Earnings per Unit (“EPU”)

 

The Partnership calculates earnings per unit by allocating reported profit for each period to each class of units based on the distribution policy for available cash stated in the Partnership Agreement.

 

Basic earnings per unit is determined by dividing profit for the period, after deducting preference unit distributions, by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the profit of the period attributable to common unitholders by the weighted average number of potential ordinary common units assumed to have been converted into common units, unless such potential ordinary common units have an antidilutive effect.

 

Earnings per unit is presented for the period in which the units were outstanding, with earnings calculated as follows:

* Includes the aggregate profit of GAS-twelve Ltd. for the period prior to its transfer to the Partnership on April 1, 2019. While such amounts are reflected in the Partnership’s financial statements because the transfer to the Partnership was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control (Note 1), the aforementioned entity was not owned by the Partnership prior to its transfer to the Partnership on such date and accordingly the Partnership was not entitled to the cash or results generated in the period prior to such transfer.

 

**The IDRs were eliminated on June 30, 2019. GasLog held the incentive distribution rights following completion of the Partnership’s IPO. Until their elimination, they represented the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. Based on the nature of such right, earnings attributable to IDRs could not be allocated on a per unit basis.

 

*** Includes unvested awards (Note 18) and Class B units, the latter only for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The 2,490,000 Class B units were issued on June 30, 2019 and have been included in the weighted average number of units outstanding for the calculation of diluted EPU from July 1, 2019 and onwards. They will become eligible for conversion on a one-for-one basis into common units at GasLog’s option in six tranches of 415,000 units per annum on July 1 of 2020 (Note 20), 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025; as a result, they do not have an impact on the calculation of basic EPU until conversion.

 

 

18. Share-based Compensation

 

The terms of the 2015 Plan and the assumptions for the valuation of Restricted Common Units (“RCUs”) and Performance Common Units (“PCUs”) have been disclosed in Note 21 “Share-Based Compensation” in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

On April 1, 2020, the Partnership granted to its executives 233,688 RCUs and 233,688 PCUs in accordance with its 2015 Plan. The RCUs and PCUs will vest on April 1, 2023. The holders are entitled to cash distributions that will be accrued and settled on vesting.

In accordance with the terms of the 2015 Plan, the awards will be settled in cash or in common units at the sole discretion of the board of directors or such committee as may be designated by the board to administer the 2015 Plan. These awards have been treated as equity settled because the Partnership has no present obligation to settle them in cash.

 

Fair value

 

The fair value of the RCUs and PCUs in accordance with the Plan was determined by using the grant date closing price of $2.02 per common unit and was not further adjusted since the holders are entitled to cash distributions.

In September 2017 and July 2018, GasLog LNG Services entered into maintenance agreements with Wartsila Greece S.A. in respect of eight of the Partnership’s LNG carriers. The agreements ensure dynamic maintenance planning, technical support, security of spare parts supply, specialist technical personnel and performance monitoring.

 

In March 2019, GasLog LNG Services entered into an agreement with Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”) in respect of eleven of the Partnership’s LNG carriers. The agreement covers the supply of ballast water management systems on board the vessels by Samsung and associated field, commissioning and engineering services for a firm period of six years. As of June 30, 2020, ballast water management systems had been installed on three out of the eleven vessels.

 

Various claims, suits and complaints, including those involving government regulations, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, environmental claims, agents and insurers and from claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Partnership’s vessels. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities requiring disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

20. Subsequent Events

 

On July 1, 2020, GasLog Partners issued 415,000 common units in connection with GasLog’s option to convert the first tranche of its Class B units issued upon the elimination of IDRs in June 2019.

 

On July 16, 2020, GasLog Partners entered into a credit agreement of $260,331 with BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse AG and Alpha Bank S.A., each an original lender, with BNP Paribas acting as security agent and trustee for and on behalf of the other finance parties mentioned above, in order to refinance the existing indebtedness due in 2021 on three of its vessels. The facility will amortize over ten equal semi-annual installments of $8,597 beginning in January 2021, with a final balloon amount of $174,361 payable concurrently with the last installment in July 2025. Interest on the facility will be payable at a rate of USD LIBOR plus a margin. The relevant amount of $260,331 was drawn on July 21, 2020, out of which $258,532 was used to refinance the outstanding indebtedness of GAS-twenty Ltd., GAS-seven Ltd. and GAS-eight Ltd., the respective entities owning the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the GasLog Seattle and the Solaris. The facility includes customary restrictive covenants aligned with the ones in the existing bank credit facilities of the Partnership.

 

Also, on July 16, 2020, GasLog Partners entered into a credit agreement of $193,713 with DNB Bank ASA, London Branch, and ING Bank N.V., London Branch, each an original lender, with DNB Bank ASA, London Branch acting as security agent and trustee for and on behalf of the other finance parties mentioned above, in order to refinance the existing indebtedness due in 2021 on three of its vessels. The facility will amortize over ten equal semi-annual installments of $8,599 beginning in January 2021, with a final balloon amount of $107,723 payable concurrently with the last installment in July 2025. Interest on the facility will be payable at a rate of USD LIBOR plus a margin. DNB Bank ASA, London Branch and ING Bank N.V., London Branch were also registered as hedging providers under the facility. An amount of $193,713 was drawn down on July 21, 2020, out of which $174,867 was used to refinance the outstanding indebtedness of GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty one Ltd. and GAS-twenty seven Ltd., the respective entities owning the Methane Alison Victoria, the Methane Heather Sally and the Methane Becki Anne. The facility includes customary restrictive covenants aligned with the ones in the existing bank credit facilities of the Partnership.

 

In July 2020, the Partnership entered into four new interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $133,333 due in 2024 and 2025 with the hedging providers under the above facility.

 

On August 4, 2020, the board of directors of GasLog Partners approved and declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.125 per common unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The cash distribution is payable on August 20, 2020 to all unitholders of record as of August 17, 2020. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution will be $5,970 based on the number of units issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

 

On August 4, 2020, the board of directors of GasLog Partners approved and declared a distribution on the Series A Preference Units of $0.5390625 per preference unit, a distribution on the Series B Preference Units of $0.5125 per preference unit and a distribution on the Series C

 

F-17


 

Preference Units of $0.53125 per preference unit. The cash distributions are payable on September 15, 2020 to all unitholders of record as of September 8, 2020.

APPENDIX A

 

Supplemental Non-GAAP Partnership Performance Information and Reconciliation Tables

 

Our IFRS Common Control Reported Results are derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership. The non-GAAP Partnership Performance Results presented below exclude amounts related to GAS-twelve Ltd., the owner of the GasLog Glasgow, for the period prior to its transfer to the Partnership on April 1, 2019. While such amounts are reflected in the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements because the transfer to the Partnership was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control under IFRS, the aforementioned entity was not owned by the Partnership prior to its transfer on April 1, 2019, and accordingly the Partnership was not entitled to the cash or results generated in the period prior to such transfer. The Partnership believes these measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding the financial and operating performance of the Partnership which is necessary to understand the underlying basis for the calculations of the quarterly distribution and the earnings per unit, which similarly exclude the results of vessels acquired prior to their transfers to the Partnership.

 

Amounts reflected in the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2020 are fully attributable to the Partnership. The Partnership Performance Results reported in the second quarter of 2020 are the same as the IFRS Common Control Reported Results for the respective period since there were no vessel acquisitions from GasLog during the quarter, which would have resulted in retrospective adjustment of the historical financial statements.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent GAAP measures presented in accordance with IFRS, but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS Common Control Reported Results.
