●	Scheduled off hire for the quarter was 180 days as the Company took advantage of the weak freight market to bring forward drydockings and planned installations of scrubbers and ballast water treatment systems.

●

The Covid-19 virus outbreak is still impacting our business. The main operational challenge in 2020 related to our seafarers and our ability to change crews at regular intervals. Crews have stayed onboard longer than planned, awaiting opportunities to go ashore and for replacements to come onboard. Our crews are demonstrating cooperation and understanding to support continuation of our services. The challenge has abated compared to Q2 and Q3, but hurdles remain as several geographical areas curb these operations. We consumed 16.0 days of scheduled off hire during the quarter because of deviations and longer port stays to enable crew changes. We will continue to do everything we reasonably can to facilitate safe and regular crew changes.

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

●	As of December 31, 2020, DHT had a fleet of 27 VLCCs. The total dwt of the fleet is 8,360,850. For more details on the fleet, please refer to the web site: http://dhtankers.com/index.php?name=About_DHT%2FFleet.html.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT HIGHLIGHT:

●

On January 21, 2021, the Company announced that it has entered into agreement to acquire two VLCCs built 2016 at DSME (Daewoo) for a total of $136 million. The vessels are scheduled to deliver during the first half of 2021. The Company will finance the acquisition with available liquidity and projected mortgage debt hence it is expected to be accretive to DHT’s earnings per share. The vessels were built to high specifications by their current owner and are fuel efficient, scrubber fitted Eco-designs that will further improve the DHT fleet’s efficiencies, amongst other its Annual Efficiency Ratio (AER) and Energy Efficiency Operational Index (EEOI) metrics. The Company has drawn $15 million under one of its revolving credit facilities funding the deposit for the two VLCCs.

OUTLOOK:

●

Thus far in the first quarter of 2021, 77% of the available VLCC days have been booked at an average rate of $34,700 per day on a discharge to discharge basis (not including any potential profit splits on four time charters).

●

The Company will continue to take advantage of the weak freight market to bring forward drydockings and planned installations of scrubbers and ballast water treatment systems and expect scheduled offhire to be in the range between 200 and 230 days during the first quarter of 2021.

FOURTH QUARTER 2020 FINANCIALS

The Company reported shipping revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 of $91.0 million compared to shipping revenues of $191.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease from the 2019 period to the 2020 period includes $91.0 million attributable to lower tanker rates and $9.8 million attributable to change in total revenue days. The decrease in total revenue days was a result of scheduled off hire in connection with special surveys and scrubber installation.

Voyage expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $13.3 million, compared to voyage expenses of $50.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease was mainly due to a $32.7 million decrease in bunker expenses and a $4.9 million decrease in port cost due to less vessels in the spot market.

Vessel operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $22.1 million compared to $21.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was mainly related to higher costs for crew changes due to Covid-19 and up storing of spares and consumables in relation to IMO2020.

Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $32.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $30.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was mainly due to depreciation related to scrubbers of $0.9 million.

Net financial expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $3.6 million compared to $9.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $81.4 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $49.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

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

Derivatives - interest rate swaps

Measurement of fair value

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

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has nine amortizing interest rate swaps totaling $357.1 million with maturity ranging from the second quarter 2023 to the third quarter 2023. The average fixed interest rate is 2.95%. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the derivative financial liability related to the swaps amounted to $23.7 million.

Note 5 – Vessels

The carrying values of the vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of constructing new vessels. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values have been cyclical. The carrying amounts of vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment or reversal of prior impairment charges whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. As market value is below book value for some of our vessels, we are of the view that there was an indication of potential impairment on some of our vessels as of December 31, 2020. We have performed an impairment test using the “value in use” method as of December 31, 2020.

In assessing “value in use”, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. In developing estimates of future cash flows, we must make significant assumptions about future charter rates, future use of vessels, ship operating expenses, drydocking expenditures, utilization rate, fixed commercial and technical management fees, residual value of vessels, the estimated remaining useful lives of the vessels and the discount rate. These assumptions are based on current market conditions, historical trends as well as future expectations. Estimated outflows for ship operating expenses and drydocking expenditures are based on a combination of historical and budgeted costs and are adjusted for assumed inflation. Utilization, including estimated off hire time, is based on historical experience. The impairment test has been performed using an estimated weighted average cost of capital of 8.59%. Decreasing the weighted average cost of capital by 0.5% would decrease the impairment charge by $ 1.5 million. Increasing/decreasing the future charter rates by $500 per day would decrease/increase the impairment charge by $ 1.4 million. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are subjective. The impairment test resulted in a non-cash impairment of $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
