DANAOS CORPORATION

 

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to three months ended June 30, 2010

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, Danaos had an average of 54.4 containerships compared to 43.4 containerships for the three months ended June 30, 2010. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we took delivery of three vessels, the Hanjin Italy, on April 6, 2011, the Hanjin Constantza, on April 15, 2011 and the Hanjin Greece, on May 4, 2011. Our fleet utilization was reduced to 97.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 98.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2010, due to the scheduled off-hire revenue days in the second quarter of 2011.

 

Operating Revenue

 

Operating revenue increased 35.2%, or $29.9 million, to $114.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $84.9 in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily a result of the addition to our fleet of three 6,500 TEU containerships, the CMA CGM Rabelais, the CMA CGM Racine and the YM Maturity, on July 2, 2010, August 16, 2010 and August 18, 2010, respectively, four 3,400 TEU containerships, the Hanjin Santos, the Hanjin Versailles, the Hanjin Algeciras and the Hanjin Constantza, on July 6, 2010, October 11, 2010, January 26, 2011 and April 15, 2011, respectively, as well as three 10,100 TEU containerships, the Hanjin Germany, the Hanjin Italy and Hanjin Greece, on March 10, 2011, April 6, 2011 and May 4, 2011, respectively. These additions to our fleet contributed revenues of $29.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Moreover, two 6,500 TEU containerships, the CMA CGM Nerval and the YM Mandate, which were added to our fleet on May 17, 2010 and May 19, 2010, respectively, and one 3,400 TEU containership, the Hanjin Buenos Aires, which was added to our fleet on May 27, 2010, contributed incremental revenues of $4.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010.

 

In addition, a $3.4 million reduction in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 was mainly attributable to re-chartering of certain vessels at reduced charter hire rates in the second half of 2010, which was partially offset by more re-chartering of certain vessels at increased charter hire rates in the first half of 2011. Furthermore, scheduled off-hire revenues increased in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010.

 

Voyage Expenses

 

Voyage expenses increased 23.5%, or $0.4 million, to $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was the result of increased voyage expenses, such as port, commission and other voyage expenses, due to the increased number of vessels in our fleet in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010.

 

Vessel Operating Expenses

 

Vessel operating expenses increased 55.9%, or $10.5 million, to $29.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $18.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased average number of vessels in our fleet during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to three months ended June 30, 2010, as well as incremental costs of certain vessels, which were on lay-up for 15 days in the aggregate during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 477 days in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The average daily operating cost per vessel increased to $6,166 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $5,477 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 (excluding those vessels on lay-up). The increase is mainly attributable to increased lubricant expenses following the increase of the crude oil prices in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, as well as upward cost pressure on Euro denominated expenses resulting from the weaker US Dollar and the increased repair and maintenance expenses related to the higher number of drydockings in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010.

Depreciation

 

Depreciation expense increased 46.9%, or $8.3 million, to $26.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $17.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in depreciation expense was due to the increased average number of vessels in our fleet during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to three months ended June 30, 2010.

 

Amortization of Deferred Drydocking and Special Survey Costs

 

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased 5.9%, or $0.1 million, to $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased 17.5%, or $1.0 million, to $4.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $5.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was mainly the result of reduced legal and advisory fees of $1.6 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, which partially was offset by increased fees of $0.6 million to our Manager in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, due to the increase in the average number of our vessels in our fleet.

 

Interest Expense and Interest Income

 

Interest expense increased by 32.7%, or $3.2 million, to $13.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $9.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The change in interest expense was due to the increase in our average debt by $494.8 million, to $2,791.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $2,297.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, which was partially offset by the decrease in the margin over LIBOR payable on interest under our credit facilities in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, in accordance with our comprehensive financing plan, which sets the margin at 1.85% (in relation to our credit facilities under our agreement, dated January 24, 2011 (the “Bank Agreement”), with such lenders).  Furthermore, the financing of our extensive newbuilding program resulted in interest capitalization, rather than such interest being recognized as an expense, of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $6.7 million of capitalized interest for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

 

Interest income increased by $0.1 million, to $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010.

 

Other Finance Costs, Net

 

Other finance costs, net, increased by $2.3 million, to $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is mainly attributable to increased amortization of finance fees of $1.9 million (which were deferred and are amortized over the life of the respective credit facilities) and $0.4 million of finance fees accrued for the three months ended June 30, 2011 related to our comprehensive financing plan contemplated by our Bank Agreement.

 

Other Income/(Expenses), Net

 

Other income/(expenses), net, was an expense of $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a gain of $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The expense increase is mainly attributable to fees of $0.2 million directly related to our comprehensive financing plan contemplated by our Bank Agreement, which were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Loss on Fair value of Derivatives

 

Loss on fair value of derivatives decreased by $8.5 million, to a loss of $35.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from a loss of $43.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is mainly attributed to a non-cash loss in fair value of interest rate swaps of $3.3 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2011, due to hedge accounting ineffectiveness, compared to $22.3 million loss in the three months ended June 30, 2010. There was also a realized loss on interest rate swap hedges of $32.1 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011, which is mainly attributed to the higher average notional amount of swaps and persisting low floating LIBOR rates, compared to a $21.6 million realized loss in the three months ended June 30, 2010.

 

In addition, realized losses on cash flow hedges of $8.0 million and $10.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011

and 2010, respectively, were deferred in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss”, rather than such realized losses being recognized as expenses, and will be reclassified into earnings over the depreciable lives of these vessels under construction, which are financed by loans for which their interest rates have been hedged by our interest rate swap contracts. The table below provides an analysis of the items discussed above, and were recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to six months ended June 30, 2010

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had an average of 52.7 containerships in our fleet as compared to 42.4 containerships in the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Our fleet utilization was reduced to 97.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 99.0% in the same period of 2010, mainly due to the increased scheduled off-hire revenue days. We took delivery of two 3,400 TEU vessels, the Hanjin Algeciras, on January 26, 2011 and the Hanjin Constantza, on April 15, 2011, as well as three 10,100 TEU vessels, the Hanjin Germany, on March 10, 2011, the Hanjin Italy, on April 6, 2011 and the Hanjin Greece, on May 4, 2011.

 

Operating Revenue

 

Operating revenue increased 29.9%, or $49.2 million, to $213.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $164.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily a result of the addition to our fleet of three 6,500 TEU containerships, the CMA CGM Rabelais, the CMA CGM Racine and the YM Maturity, on July 2, 2010, August 16, 2010 and August 18, 2010, respectively, four 3,400 TEU containerships, the Hanjin Santos, the Hanjin Versailles, the Hanjin Algeciras and the Hanjin Constantza, on July 6, 2010, October 11, 2010, January 26, 2011 and April 15, 2011, respectively, as well as three 10,100 TEU containerships, the Hanjin Germany, the Hanjin Italy and Hanjin Greece, on March 10, 2011, April 6, 2011 and May 4, 2011, respectively. These additions to our fleet contributed revenues of $44.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Moreover, three 6,500 TEU containerships, the CMA CGM Musset, the CMA CGM Nerval and the YM Mandate, which were added to our fleet on March 12, 2010, May 17, 2010 and May 19, 2010, respectively, and one 3,400 TEU containership, the Hanjin Buenos Aires, which was added to our fleet on May 27, 2010, contributed incremental revenues of $14.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. These revenues were offset in part by the sale of one 1,704 TEU containership, the MSC Eagle, on January 22, 2010, that contributed nil revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.1 million of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

 

In addition, a $9.7 million reduction in revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 was mainly attributable to re-chartering of certain vessels at reduced charter hire rates in the second half of 2010, which was partially offset by higher re-chartering of certain vessels at increased charter hire rates in the first half of 2011. Furthermore, lost revenues due to scheduled off-hire days increased in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010.

 

Voyage Expenses

 

Voyage expenses increased 30.3%, or $1.0 million, to $4.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was the result of increased voyage expenses, such as port, commission and other voyage expenses due to the increased number of vessels in our fleet in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Vessel Operating Expenses

 

Vessel operating expenses increased 54.0%, or $19.6 million, to $55.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $36.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased average number of vessels in our fleet during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, as well as incremental costs of certain vessels, which were on lay-up for 105 days in the aggregate during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 1,091 days in the aggregate the six months ended June 30, 2010. The average daily operating cost per vessel increased to $6,164 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $5,549 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (excluding those vessels on lay-up). The increase is mainly attributable to increased lubricant expenses following the increase of the crude oil prices in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, as well as upward cost pressure on Euro denominated costs resulting from the weaker US Dollar and the increased repair and maintenance expenses related to the higher number of drydockings in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation expense increased 43.2%, or $14.6 million, to $48.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $33.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in depreciation expense was due to the increased average number of vessels in our fleet during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

 

Impairment Loss

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded an impairment loss of $71.5 million consisting of cash advances of $64.35 million paid to the shipyard and $7.16 million of capitalized interest and other predelivery capital expenditures paid in relation to the construction of three 6,500 TEU newbuilding containerships, the HN N-216, the HN N-217 and the HN N-218, following our agreement with Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd. to cancel the construction of the respective newbuildings.

 

No impairment loss was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Amortization of Deferred Drydocking and Special Survey Costs

 

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs decreased 5.7%, or $0.2 million, to $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease reflects reduced drydocking costs incurred and amortized during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased 16.2%, or $1.8 million, to $9.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $11.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was mainly the result of a $3.1 million reduction in legal and advisory fees recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2010, which partially was offset by increased fees of $1.1 million to our Manager in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, due to the increase in the average number of our vessels in our fleet.

 

Gain on Sale of Vessels

 

On January 22, 2010, we sold the MSC Eagle, a containership built in 1978 with a capacity of 1,704 TEU. The gross sale consideration was $4.6 million. We realized a net gain on this sale of $1.9 million.

 

No vessels were sold in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Interest Expense and Interest Income

 

Interest expense increased 34.1%, or $6.3 million, to $24.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $18.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The change in interest expense was due to the increase in our average debt by $376.6 million, to $2,696.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $2,319.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, which was partially offset by the decrease in the margin over LIBOR payable on interest under our credit facilities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, in accordance with our comprehensive financing plan contemplated by our Bank Agreement, which sets the margin at 1.85% (in relation to our credit facilities under our Bank Agreement). Furthermore, the financing of our extensive newbuilding program resulted in interest capitalization, rather than such interest being recognized as an expense, of $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $13.9 million of capitalized interest for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest income increased by $0.1 million, to $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

 

Other Finance Costs, Net

 

Other finance costs, net, increased by $6.2 million, to $7.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is mainly attributable to increased amortization of finance fees by $2.9 million (which were deferred and are amortized over the life of the respective credit facilities) in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, as well as an amount of $0.7 million of finance fees accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2011 related to our comprehensive financing plan contemplated by our Bank Agreement and an expense of $2.3 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to non-cash changes in fair value of warrants (for the period up to March 29, 2011 when the exercise price of the warrants was increased to $7.00 per share from the initial exercise price of $6.00 per share (refer to Note 6, Deferred Charges, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report)).

 

Other Income/(Expenses), Net

 

Other income/(expenses), net, was an expense of $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a gain of $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in expense is mainly attributable to fees of $2.3 million directly related to our comprehensive financing plan contemplated by our Bank Agreement, which were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Loss on Fair value of Derivatives

 

Loss on fair value of derivatives, decreased by $28.7 million, to a loss of $53.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from a loss of $82.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is mainly attributable to a non-cash gain in fair value of interest rate swaps of $6.5 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011, due to hedge accounting ineffectiveness, compared to $44.8 million loss in the six months ended June 30, 2010. There was also a realized loss on interest rate swap hedges of $60.2 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011, which is mainly attributable to the higher average notional amount of swaps and the persisting low floating LIBOR rates, compared to a $37.6 million realized loss in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

 

In addition, realized losses on cash flow hedges of $17.9 million and $21.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were deferred in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss”, rather than such realized losses being recognized as expenses, and will be reclassified into earnings over the depreciable lives of these vessels under construction, which are financed by loans for which their interest rates have been hedged by our interest rate swap contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal source of funds has been equity provided by our stockholders, operating cash flows, vessel sales, and long-term bank borrowings, as well as proceeds from our common stock sale in August 2010. Our principal uses of funds have been capital expenditures to establish, grow and maintain our fleet, comply with international shipping standards, environmental laws and regulations and to fund working capital requirements.

Our short-term liquidity needs primarily relate to the purchase of the 10 additional containerships for which we have contracted, as of June 30, 2011, and for which we had scheduled future payments through the scheduled delivery of the final contracted vessel during 2012 aggregating approximately $0.8 billion as of June 30, 201, as well as funding our vessel operating expenses and loan interest payments.  Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to debt repayment and capital expenditures related to any further growth of our fleet. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds will be cash from our credit facilities and financing arrangements, cash from operations and equity or debt raised in the capital markets.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the remaining capital expenditure installments for our 10 newbuilding vessels were approximately $321.1 million for the remainder of 2011 and $474.3 million for 2012.  As of June 30, 2011, we expect to fund the remaining installment payments of approximately $0.8 billion with undrawn borrowing capacity of (i) $318.1 million under previously existing and new credit facilities (the “New Credit Facilities”) covered by our January 24, 2011 Bank Agreement, which became effective on March 4, 2011, with such lenders, (ii) $203.4 million under the bank syndicate agreement with the Export Import Bank of China (“CEXIM”), Citibank and ABN Amro, in respect of which the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (or Sinosure) will cover certain risks (the “Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility”), (iii) $124.9 million under our agreement with Hyundai Samho to finance up to 15% of the purchase price for vessels it is building (the “Hyundai Samho Vendor Financing”), and (iv) cash from operations, as well as with the proceeds from our 2010 equity transaction remaining available as cash and cash equivalents.  On July 8, 2011, we took delivery of one of our 10 newbuilding vessels for which we funded the final installment using $23.7 million of borrowings under our previously existing credit facilities and $6.6 million from cash on hand.

 

Under our existing multi-year charters as of June 30, 2011, we had contracted revenues of $249.5 million for the remainder of 2011, $577.1 million for 2012 and, thereafter, approximately $4.9 billion, of which amounts $17.4 million, $156.8 million and $2.1 billion, respectively, are associated with charters for our contracted newbuildings. Although these expected revenues are based on contracted charter rates, we are dependent on our charterers’ ability and willingness to meet their obligations under these charters.

 

We have 15,000,000 outstanding warrants, which will expire on January 31, 2019, with an exercise price of $7.00 per share. We will not receive any cash upon exercise of the warrants as the warrants are only exercisable on a cashless basis. We have also registered 8,044,176 warrants (following the request of certain banks) and the underlying shares of common stock for resale under the Securities Act.

 

As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $96.7 million. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $646.4 million undrawn under our credit facilities. As of June 30, 2011, we had $65.1 million vendor financing outstanding and $2.8 billion of outstanding indebtedness, of which $21.6 million was payable within the next twelve months. Under the Bank Agreement, no principal payments are scheduled to be due before March 31, 2013. After that time, however, we are required under the Bank Agreement to apply a substantial portion of our cash from operations to the repayment of principal under our financing arrangements, and we are subject to limits on our ability to incur additional indebtedness without our lenders’ consent. The Bank Agreement also contains requirements for the application of proceeds from any future vessel sales or financings, including sales of equity, as well as other transactions. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2011, as well as Note 10, Long-term Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

 

As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with the financial and collateral coverage covenants under our debt arrangements.  We believe that continued future compliance with the terms of these agreements will allow us to fund the remaining installment payments under our newbuilding contracts and satisfy our other liquidity needs. For additional details regarding the Bank Agreement, New Credit Facilities with existing lenders, Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility and Hyundai Samho Vendor Financing, please refer to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2011, as well as Note 10, Long-term Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere herein.

 

Our board of directors determined in 2009 to suspend the payment of further cash dividends as a result of market conditions in the international shipping industry and in order to conserve cash to be applied toward the financing of our extensive newbuilding program.  Under the Bank Agreement and the Sinosure-CEXIM credit facility, we are not permitted to pay cash dividends or repurchase shares of our capital stock unless (i) our consolidated net leverage is below 6:1 for four consecutive quarters and (ii) the ratio of the aggregate market value of our vessels to our outstanding indebtedness exceeds 125% for four consecutive quarters and provided that an event of default has not occurred and we are not, and after giving effect to the payment of the dividend, in breach of any covenant.

Cash Flows

 

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $28.5 million, to $6.6 million provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $35.1 million provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of increased interest cost of $24.9 million (including realized losses on our interest rate swaps, as well as the retrospective waiver margin in relation to our Bank Agreement, refer to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2011), as well as increased payments for drydocking of $6.8 million, which was partially offset by a favorable change in the working capital position and increased cash from operations of $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $25.1 million, to $302.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $277.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The difference mainly reflects installment payments for newbuildings, as well as interest capitalized and other related capital expenditures, of $302.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $279.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and net proceeds from sale of vessels of nil in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities decreased by $40.1 million, to $162.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $203.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to the deferred fees paid to our lenders under the Bank Agreement of $30.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 (refer to our condensed consolidated financial statements Note 10, Long-term Debt, included elsewhere in this report) compared to nil in the six months ended June 30, 2010, net proceeds from long-term debt of $193.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $28.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as well as a decrease of restricted cash of $174.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a negligible movement of restricted cash in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes, however, that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. See the tables below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

 

EBITDA represents net (loss)/income before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents net (loss)/income before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs and deferred finance costs (and write-offs), impairment loss, gain/(loss) on sale of vessels, non-cash changes in fair value of derivatives, realized gain/(loss) on derivatives, gain on contract termination and other one-off items in relation to the Company’s Comprehensive Financing Plan. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance and because they are used by certain investors to measure a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used: (i) by prospective and current customers as well as potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; and (ii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. Our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. In evaluating Adjusted

EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Because of these limitations, EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as principal indicators of our performance.

EBITDA increased by $123.8 million, to $85.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $(38.4) million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is mainly attributable to increased operating revenues of $213.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $164.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, an impairment loss of $71.5 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2010, reduced net losses on fair value of derivatives of $53.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $82.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, which were partially

offset by increased operating expenses of $55.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $36.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, a gain on sale of vessel of $1.9 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as well as increased other finance costs of $3.1 million (excluding amortization of deferred finance costs of $3.5 million and finance costs accrued of $0.7 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.4 million (excluding amortization of deferred finance costs of $0.7 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and other expenses of $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to an income of $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $28.1 million, to $143.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $115.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is mainly attributed to increased operating revenues of $213.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $164.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, which was partially offset by increased operating expenses of $55.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $36.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and increased voyage expenses of $4.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Swaps

 

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements converting floating interest rate exposure into fixed interest rates in order to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates, as well as interest rate swap agreements converting the fixed rate we pay in connection with certain of our credit facilities into floating interest rates in order to economically hedge the fair value of the fixed rate credit facilities against fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates. Due to the changes to the amortization profiles and interest rates under our existing credit facilities pursuant to the terms of the Bank Agreement, our interest rate swap agreements are expected to have a greater degree of ineffectiveness as hedging instruments with the result that changes in the fair value of such ineffective portion of such swap arrangements would be recognized in our statement of income. See Note 11, Financial Instruments, to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included in this report. We do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

 

We are currently in an over-hedged position under our cash flow interest rate swaps, which is due to deferred progress payments to shipyards, cancellation of three newbuildings in 2010, replacements of variable interest rate debt with a fixed interest rate seller’s financing and equity proceeds from our private placement in 2010, all of which reduced initial forecasted variable interest rate debt and resulted in notional cash flow interest rate swaps being above our variable interest rate debt eligible for hedging. Realized losses attributable to the over-hedging position were $10.2 million and $19.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $8.4 million and $12.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

We did not enter into derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency translation of assets or liabilities or foreign currency transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered material off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Capitalization

 

The table below sets forth our consolidated capitalization as of June 30, 2011:

 

·                                          on an actual basis; and

 

·                                          on an as adjusted basis to reflect in the period from June 30, 2011 to July 29, 2011 debt drawdown of $23.7 million.

 

Other than these adjustments, there have been no material changes to our capitalization from debt or equity issuances, re-capitalizations or special dividends as adjusted in the table below between June 30, 2011 and July 29, 2011.  This table should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and the notes thereto included in this report.

(3)          We have agreed to issue in 2011 an additional 6,426 shares of common stock to employees of our manager in respect of equity awards granted in 2010 and 8,059 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2011 (to be issued in 2012) to directors in lieu of cash compensation for the first half of 2011.

 

Recent Developments

 

On July 8, 2011, we took delivery of the newbuilding 8,530 TEU vessel, the CMA CGM Attila. The vessel has been deployed on a 12-year time charter with one of the world’s major liner companies.

 

Our Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Evangelos Chatzis, who previously served as our Deputy Chief Financial Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, to the position of Chief Financial Officer, effective July 22, 2011.

 

On July 22, 2011, at our annual meeting of stockholders, each of Messrs. Economou, Fogarty and Propopakis were re-elected as Class II directors for a three-year term expiring at the annual meeting of our stockholders in 2014.  Our

Forward Looking Statements

 

Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charterhire rates and vessel values, charter counterparty performance,  ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants contained in our financing agreements, shipyard performance, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.

 

Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

DANAOS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1       Basis of Presentation and General Information

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The reporting and functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar.

 

Danaos Corporation (“Danaos”), formerly Danaos Holdings Limited, was formed on December 7, 1998 under the laws of Liberia and is presently the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the companies listed below. Danaos Holdings Limited was redomiciled in the Marshall Islands on October 7, 2005. In connection with the redomiciliation, the Company changed its name to Danaos Corporation. On October 14, 2005, the Company filed and the Marshall Islands accepted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. Under the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the authorized capital stock of Danaos Corporation increased to 100,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 and 1,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01. On September 18, 2006, the Company filed and Marshall Islands accepted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. Under the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the authorized capital stock of Danaos Corporation increased to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01. On September 18, 2009, the Company filed and Marshall Islands accepted Articles of Amendment. Under the Articles of Amendment, the authorized capital stock of Danaos Corporation increased to 750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01. Refer to Note 13, Stockholders’ Equity. As of June 30, 2011, the common shares issued and outstanding were 109,002,373.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) of Danaos and its subsidiaries contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, Danaos’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2011, the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Danaos’ Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

 

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and operation of vessels. Danaos conducts its operations through the vessel owning companies whose principal activity is the ownership and operation of containerships that are under the exclusive management of a related party of the Company.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) represent the consolidation of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Inter-company transaction balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the companies are eliminated.

 

The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities as defined in the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

2       Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Fair Value

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards requiring additional fair value disclosures. The amended standards require disclosures of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as well as requiring gross basis disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the Level 3 reconciliation. Additionally, the update clarifies the requirement to determine the level of disaggregation for fair value measurement disclosures and to disclose valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new guidance was effective in the first quarter of 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and settlements, which was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

 

Presentation of comprehensive income

 

In June 2011 the FASB issued a final standard requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The option to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity is eliminated. The new requirements are effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted and full retrospective application is required. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have an impact on its condensed financial statements.

i.                                      On January 26, 2011, the Company took delivery of the newbuilding 3,400 TEU vessel, the Hanjin Algeciras, for $55.9 million. The vessel has been deployed on a 10-year time charter with one of the world’s major liner companies.

 

ii.                                   On March 10, 2011, the Company took delivery of the newbuilding 10,100 TEU vessel, the Hanjin Germany, for $145.2 million. The vessel has been deployed on a 12-year time charter with one of the world’s major liner companies.

 

iii.                                On April 6, 2011, the Company took delivery of the newbuilding 10,100 TEU vessel, the Hanjin Italy, for $145.2 million. The vessel has been deployed on a 12-year time charter with one of the world’s major liner companies.

 

iv.                               On April 15, 2011, the Company took delivery of the newbuilding 3,400 TEU vessel, the Hanjin Constantza, for $55.9 million. The vessel has been deployed on a 10-year time charter with one of the world’s major liner companies.

 

v.                                  On May 4, 2011, the Company took delivery of the newbuilding 10,100 TEU vessel, the Hanjin Greece, for $145.2 million. The vessel has been deployed on a 12-year time charter with one of the world’s major liner companies.

 

The contract price of newbuilding vessels, as discussed above, excludes any items capitalized during the construction period, such as interest expense and other predelivery expenses, which increase the total cost of each vessel recorded upon delivery under “Fixed Assets, net”.

 

The residual value (estimated scrap value at the end of the vessels’ useful lives) of the fleet was estimated at $318.5 million as of June 30, 2011 and $276.6 million as of December 31, 2010. The Company has calculated the residual value of the vessels taking into consideration the 10 year average and the five year average of the scrap steel value per ton. The Company has applied uniformly the scrap value of $300 per ton for all vessels. The Company believes that $300 per ton is a reasonable estimate of future scrap prices, taking into consideration the cyclicality of future demand for scrap steel. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to determine the scrap rate are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective, in part, because of the cyclical nature of future demand for scrap steel.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had remitted the following installments:

 

The Company entered into four newbuilding contracts on March 2, 2007, with China Shipbuilding Trading Company, Limited for four 6,800 TEU containerships (the CMA CGM Attila, the HN Z00002, the HN Z00003 and the HN Z00004). The contract price of each vessel is $92.5 million. The Company has already paid $248.6 million, as of June 30, 2011, in relation to these contracts. On July 12, 2007, the Company agreed with China Shipbuilding Trading Company Limited for the upgrading of its earlier order for four 6,800 TEU containerships to four 8,530 TEU vessels. The contract price of each vessel is $113.0 million. These vessels will be built by the Shanghai Jiangnan Changxing Heavy Industry Company Limited and are expected to be delivered to the Company in the second half of 2011. The Company has arranged to charter these containerships under 12-year charters with a major liner company upon delivery of each vessel.

 

On September 19, 2007, the Company extended its shipbuilding contract with China Shipbuilding Trading Company Limited, as described above, to include one more 8,530 TEU vessel, bringing the total number to five vessels. The Company has already paid $94.0 million, as of June 30, 2011, in relation to this contract. This vessel is expected to be delivered to the Company in the first quarter of 2012. The Company has also arranged with a major liner company to charter the vessel for 12 years upon delivery.

 

The Company entered into newbuilding contracts on September 28, 2007, with Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co. Limited for five 13,100 TEU containerships (the HN S-456, the HN S-457, the HN S-458, the HN S-459 and the HN S-460). The contract price of each vessel is $166.9 million. The Company has already paid $266.1 million, as of June 30, 2011, in relation to these contracts. The vessels are expected to be delivered to the Company throughout the first half of 2012. The Company has arranged to charter each of these containerships under 12-year charters with a major liner company upon delivery of each vessel.

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for drydocking and special survey costs in accordance with accounting for planned major maintenance activities, whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled survey, which is two and a half years.  If special survey or drydocking is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. Furthermore, when a vessel is drydocked for more than one reporting period, the respective costs are identified and recorded in the period in which they were incurred and not at the conclusion of the drydocking.

 

On March 2, 2011, the Company committed to issue 15,000,000 warrants to its lenders under the Bank Agreement and the New Credit Facilities to purchase, solely on a cash-less exercise basis, shares of its common stock. On March 17, 2011, the Company issued 11,213,713 warrants at an initial exercise price of $6.00 per share, which exercise price was increased to $7.00 per share on March 29, 2011 upon the delivery of certain documents, as required by the Sinosure-CEXIM credit facility and related arrangement with Sinosure. On April 1, 2011 and May 23, 2011, the Company issued the remaining 3,711,417 and 74,870 warrants (out of the total of 15,000,000 warrants), respectively, at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. All warrants issued will expire on January 31, 2019. The Company will not receive any cash upon exercise of the warrants as the warrants are only exercisable on a cashless basis. The Company has also registered 8,044,176 warrants (following the request of certain banks and the remaining warrants will be registered in the future) and underlying shares of common stock for resale under the Securities Act.

 

The fair value of the warrants as of March 2, 2011 of $51.8 million (the date the Company entered into the warrant agreement) was estimated using the Binominal model and the assumptions used to calculate the fair value were the underlying stock price of $3.45, initial exercise price of $6.00 per share based on the warrant agreement, volatility of 72% based on historical data of the Company’s closing share price since its initial public offering, time to expiration based upon the contractual life, short-term (risk-free) interest rate based upon the treasury securities with a similar expected term and no dividends being paid. On March 29, 2011, the exercise price of the warrants was increased to $7.00 per share, in accordance with the warrant agreement, following the delivery of certain documents, as required by the Sinosure-CEXIM credit facility and related arrangement with Sinosure.

 

The warrants were considered a liability instrument from March 2, 2011 up to the date the exercise price was fixed to $7.00 per share and were marked to market. On March 29, 2011, the warrants were reclassified from liability to equity since the exercise price was fixed and the warrants met all conditions for classification as equity. Therefore, assuming no changes to the existing warrant agreement, any future changes in the fair value of the warrants subsequent to the amendment date of the exercise price will not be recognized in the financial statements so long as the warrant continues to meet equity classification criteria in future periods. The warrants were considered non-cash fees paid to the Company’s lenders and are deferred and will be amortized over the life of the respective facilities in accordance with the interest method.

 

The fair value of the warrants on the amendment date March 29, 2011 was $54.1 million compared to $51.8 million as of March 2, 2011. The $2.3 million loss arising from the change in the fair value of the warrants from March 2, 2011 to March 29, 2011 has been recorded in the condensed Statement of Income under “Other finance costs”.

On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed with one of its charterers, Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (“ZIM”), to revisions to charterparties for six of its vessels in operation, which keep the original charter terms in place, reducing the cash settlement of each charter hire by 17.5% which becomes a subsequent payment. Each subsequent payment, which accumulates in any financial quarter, is satisfied by callable exchange notes (the “CENs”). CENs will be issued by ZIM once per financial quarter at a face value equal to the aggregate amount of such subsequent payments from that financial quarter plus an interest of 6% per annum (being an amount calculated as if each such subsequent payment had accrued interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date when it would have been due under the original charter party until the relevant issue date for the CENs).

 

Unless previously converted at the holder’s option into ZIM’s common stock (only upon ZIM becoming a publicly listed company) or redeemed partially prior to or in full in cash, on July 1, 2016, ZIM will redeem the CENs at their remaining nominal amount together with the 6% interest accrued up to that date in cash only.

 

In this respect, the Company recorded a note receivable from ZIM in “Other non-current assets” of $18.5 million and $13.7 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Accrued expenses mainly consisted of accrued realized losses on cash flow interest rate swaps of $19.1 million and $19.5 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, as well as accrued interest to shipyards in relation to deferred payment of certain progress payments, which will be paid on delivery of the respective vessels of $5.0 million and $7.1 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, debt restructuring fees accrued of $17.7 million as of December 31, 2010 were paid to lenders during the first months of 2011.

Bank Agreement

 

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement, which is referred to as the Bank Agreement, that superseded, amended and supplemented the terms of each of the Company’s then-existing credit facilities (other than its credit facilities with KEXIM and KEXIM-ABN Amro which are not covered thereby), and provides for, among other things, revised amortization schedules, maturities, interest rates, financial covenants, events of defaults, guarantee and security packages and approximately $425 million of new debt financing, including $23.75 million under a bridge facility, which had already been advanced to us following the delivery of the CMA CGM Rabelais on July 2, 2010, and has been transferred to one of the New Credit Facilities. Subject to the terms of the Bank Agreement and the intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), which the Company entered into with each of the lenders participating under the Bank Agreement to govern the relationships between the lenders thereunder, under the New Credit Facilities (as described and defined below) and under the Hyundai Samho Vendor Financing described below, the lenders participating thereunder will continue to provide the Company’s then-existing credit facilities (with any revolving loans converted to term loans) and waived any existing covenant breaches or defaults under its existing credit facilities as of December 31, 2010 and amends the covenants under the existing credit facilities in accordance with the terms of the Bank Agreement. All conditions to the effectiveness of the Bank Agreement have been satisfied, including definitive documentation for the Hyundai Samho Vendor Financing entered into September 27, 2010, documentation evidencing the cancellation of three newbuilding agreements entered into in May 2010, entry into the

The Company may elect to make the scheduled payments shown in the above table three months earlier.

 

Furthermore, an additional variable payment in such amount that, together with the fixed principal payment (as disclosed above), equals 92.5% of Actual Free Cash Flow for such quarter until the earlier of (x) the date on which the consolidated net leverage is below 6:1 and (y) May 15, 2015; and thereafter through maturity, which will be December 31, 2018 for each covered credit facility, it will be required to make fixed quarterly principal payments in fixed amounts as specified in the Bank Agreement and described above plus an additional payment in such amount that, together with the fixed principal payment, equals 89.5% of Actual Free Cash Flow for such quarter. In addition, any additional amounts of cash and cash equivalents, but during the final principal payment period described above only such additional amounts in excess of the greater of (1) $50 million of accumulated unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and (2) 2% of the Company’s consolidated debt, would be applied first to the prepayment of the new credit facilities and after the new credit facilities are repaid, to the existing credit facilities. The last payment due on December 31, 2018, will also include the unamortized remaining principal debt balances, as such amount will be determinable following the fixed and variable amortization.

 

Under the Bank Agreement, “Actual Free Cash Flow” with respect to each credit facility covered thereby would be equal to revenue from the vessels collateralizing such facility, less the sum of (a) interest expense under such credit facility, (b) pro-rata portion of payments under its interest rate swap arrangements, (c) interest expense and scheduled amortization under the Hyundai Samho Vendor Financing and (d) per vessel operating expenses and pro rata per vessel allocation of general and administrative expenses (which are not permitted to exceed the relevant budget by more than 20%), plus (e) the pro-rata share of operating cash flow of any Applicable Second Lien Vessel (which will mean, with respect to an existing facility, a vessel with respect to which the participating lenders under such facility have a second lien security interest and the first lien credit facility has been repaid in full).

 

Covenants and Events of Defaults

 

Under the terms of the existing facilities, before Bank Agreement was entered into on January 24, 2011, the Company was in breach of various covenants in its credit facilities as of December 31, 2010, for which it had not obtained waivers. In addition, although the Company was in compliance with the covenants in its credit facilities with KEXIM and KEXIM-ABN Amro, under the cross default provisions of its credit facilities the lenders could require immediate

repayment of the related outstanding debt. On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into the Bank Agreement that supersedes, amends and supplements the terms of each of its existing credit facilities (other than its credit facilities with KEXIM and KEXIM ABN Amro) and provides for, among other things, revised financial covenants and waives all covenant breaches or defaults under its existing credit facilities as of December 31, 2010, as well as amends future covenant levels under such existing credit facilities as described below, with which the Company was in compliance as of June 30, 2011 and , based on currently prevailing containership charter rates and vessel values, expects to be in compliance for the next 12 month period from the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Under the Bank Agreement, the financial covenants under each of the Company’s existing credit facilities (other than under the KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facility which is not covered thereby, but which has been aligned with those covenants below through June 30, 2012 under the supplemental letter signed on August 12, 2010 and the KEXIM credit facility, which contains only a collateral coverage covenant of 130%), have been reset to require the Company to:

 

·                                          maintain a ratio of (i) the market value of all of the vessels in the Company’s fleet, on a charter-inclusive basis, plus the net realizable value of any additional collateral, to (ii) the Company’s consolidated total debt above specified minimum levels gradually increasing from 90% through December 31, 2011 to 130% from September 30, 2017 through September 30, 2018;

 

·                                          maintain a minimum ratio of (i) the market value of the nine vessels (Hull Nos. S456, S457, S458, S459, S460, Hanjin Germany, Hanjin Italy, Hanjin Greece and CMA CGM Rabelais) collateralizing the New Credit Facilities, calculated on a charter-free basis, plus the net realizable value of any additional collateral, to (ii) the Company’s aggregate debt outstanding under the New Credit Facilities of 100% from September 30, 2012 through September 30, 2018;

 

·                                          maintain minimum free consolidated unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, less the amount of the aggregate variable principal amortization amounts, described above, of $30.0 million at the end of each calendar quarter, other than during 2012 when the Company will be required to maintain a minimum amount of $20.0 million;

 

·                                          ensure that the Company’s (i) consolidated total debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to (ii) consolidated EBITDA (defined as net income before interest, gains or losses under any hedging arrangements, tax, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash item, capital gains or losses realized from the sale of any vessel, finance charges and capital losses on vessel cancellations and before any non-recurring items and excluding any accrued interest due to us but not received on or before the end of the relevant period; provided that non-recurring items excluded from this calculation shall not exceed 5% of EBITDA calculated in this manner) for the last twelve months does not exceed a maximum ratio gradually decreasing from 12:1 on December 31, 2010 to 4.75:1 on September 30, 2018;

 

·                                          ensure that the ratio of the Company’s (i) consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months to (ii) net interest expense (defined as interest expense (excluding capitalized interest), less interest income, less realized gains on interest rate swaps (excluding capitalized gains) and plus realized losses on interest rate swaps (excluding capitalized losses)) exceeds a minimum level of 1.50:1 through September 30, 2013 and thereafter gradually increasing to 2.80:1 by September 30, 2018; and

 

·                                          maintain a consolidated market value adjusted net worth (defined as the amount by which the Company’s total consolidated assets adjusted for the market value of the Company’s vessels in the water less cash and cash equivalents in excess of the Company’s debt service requirements exceeds the Company’s total consolidated liabilities after excluding the net asset or liability relating to the fair value of derivatives as reflected in the Company’s financial statements for the relevant period) of at least $400 million.

 

For the purpose of these covenants, the market value of the Company’s vessels will be calculated, except as otherwise indicated above, on a charter-inclusive basis (using the present value of the “bareboat-equivalent” time charter income from such charter) so long as a vessel’s charter has a remaining duration at the time of valuation of more than 12 months plus the present value of the residual value of the relevant vessel (generally equivalent to the charter free value of such a vessel at the age such vessel would be at the expiration of the existing time charter). The market value for newbuilding vessels, all of which currently have multi-year charters, would equal the lesser of such amount and the newbuilding vessel’s book value.

In addition, the Company would not be permitted to pay cash dividends or repurchase shares of its capital stock unless (i) its consolidated net leverage is below 6:1 for two consecutive quarters and (ii) the ratio of the aggregate market value of its vessels to its outstanding indebtedness exceeds 125% for four consecutive quarters and provided that an event of default has not occurred and the Company is not, and after giving effect to the payment of the dividend, in breach of any covenant.

 

Collateral and Guarantees

 

Each of the Company’s existing credit facilities and swap arrangements, to the extent applicable, continue to be secured by their previous collateral on the same basis, and received, to the extent not previously provided, pledges of the shares of the Company’s subsidiaries owning the vessels collateralizing the applicable facilities, cross-guarantees from each subsidiary owning the vessels collateralizing such facilities, assignment of the refund guarantees in relation to any newbuildings funded by such facilities and other customary shipping industry collateral.

Collateral and Guarantees

 

The collateral described above relating to the newbuildings being financed by the respective credit facilities, will be (other than in respect of the CMA CGM Rabelais) subject to a limited participation by Hyundai Samho in any enforcement thereof until repayment of the related Hyundai Samho Vendor financing (described below) for such vessels. In addition lenders who participate in the new $83.9 million club credit facility described above received a lien on Hull No. S456 and Hull No. S457 as additional security in respect of the existing credit facilities the Company has with such lenders.

The Company’s Manager has also provided an undertaking to continue to provide the Company with management services and to subordinate its rights to the rights of its lenders, the security trustee and applicable hedge counterparties.

 

New Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility

 

On February 21, 2011, the Company entered into a bank syndicate agreement with Export-Import Bank of China (“CEXIM”), Citibank and ABN Amro for a senior secured credit facility (the “Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility”) of up to $203.4 million, in three tranches each in an amount equal to the lesser of $67.8 million and 60.0% of the

contract price for the newbuilding vessels, Hull No. Z00002, Hull No. Z00003 and Hull No. Z00004, securing such tranche for post-delivery financing of these vessels. CEXIM will provide the majority of the loan amount and Citibank will act as an agent. The China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation, or Sinosure, will cover a number of political and commercial risks associated with each tranche of the credit facility.

 

Principal and Interest Payments

 

Borrowings under the Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 2.85% payable semi-annually in arrears. Upon entering into the credit facility, the Company became committed to pay a commitment fee of 1.14% on undrawn amounts and the Company has paid an arrangement fee of $4.0 million, as well as a flat fee of $8.8 million to Sinosure for its participation, which were deferred as of June 30, 2011 and will be amortized over the life of the facility using the effective interest method. The Company will be required to repay principal amounts drawn under each tranche of the Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility in consecutive semi-annual installments over a ten-year period commencing after the delivery of the respective newbuilding being financed by such amount through the final maturity date of the respective tranches and repay the respective tranche in full upon the loss of the respective newbuilding.

 

Covenants, Events of Default and Other Terms

 

The Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility will require the Company to:

 

·                                          maintain a ratio of total net debt (defined as total liabilities less cash and cash equivalents) to adjusted total consolidated assets (total consolidated assets with market value of vessels, including vessels under construction, replacing book value of vessels less cash and cash equivalents) of no more than 70%;

 

·                                          maintain a minimum ratio of the market value of the vessel collateralizing a tranche of the facility to debt outstanding under such tranche of 125%;

 

·                                          maintain minimum free consolidated unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, through February 21, 2014, of $30.0 million, and the higher of $30.0 million and 2% of consolidated total debt thereafter;

 

·                                          ensure that the ratio of the Company’s (i) consolidated EBITDA (defined as net income before interest, gains or losses under any hedging arrangements, tax, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash item, capital gains or losses realized from the sale of any vessel, financing payments, fees and commissions and capital losses on vessel cancellations and before any non-recurring items) for the last twelve months to (ii) interest expense (defined as the aggregate amount of interest, commission, fees and other finance charges (excluding capitalized interest)) exceeds 2.50:1; and

 

·                                          maintain a consolidated market value adjusted net worth (defined as the Company’s total consolidated assets adjusted for the market value of the Company’s vessels less the Company’s total consolidated liabilities) of at least $400 million.

 

For the purpose of these covenants, the market value of the Company’s vessels will be calculated, except as otherwise indicated above, on a charter-inclusive basis (using the present value of the “bareboat-equivalent” time charter income from such charter) so long as a vessel’s charter has a remaining duration at the time of valuation of more than six months plus the present value of the residual value of the relevant vessel (generally equivalent to the charter free value of such a vessel at the age such vessel would be at the expiration of the existing time charter). The market value for newbuilding vessels, all of which currently have multi-year charters, would equal such amount less the aggregate amount of any unpaid installments remaining for the construction of the applicable vessel.

 

The Sinosure-CEXIM credit facility also contains customary events of default, including those relating to cross-defaults to other indebtedness, defaults under its swap agreements, non-compliance with security documents, material adverse changes to its business, a Change of Control as described above, a change in its Chief Executive Officer, its common stock ceasing to be listed on the NYSE (or Nasdaq or another recognized stock exchange), a change in, or breach of the management agreement by, the manager for the mortgaged vessels and cancellation or amendment of the time charters (unless replaced with a similar time charter with a charterer acceptable to the lenders) for the mortgaged vessels.

 

F-18



 

DANAOS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

The Company will not be permitted to pay cash dividends or repurchase shares of its capital stock unless (i) its consolidated net leverage is below 6:1 for four consecutive quarters and (ii) the ratio of the aggregate market value of its vessels to its outstanding indebtedness exceeds 125% for four consecutive quarters and provided that an event of default has not occurred and the Company is not, and after giving effect to the payment of the dividend, in breach of any covenant.

 

Collateral

 

The Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility will be secured by customary pre-delivery and post-delivery shipping industry collateral with respect to the newbuilding vessels, Hull No. Z00002, Hull No. Z00003 and Hull No. Z00004, securing the respective tranche.

 

Hyundai Samho Vendor Financing

 

On September 27, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (“Hyundai Samho”) for a financing facility of $190.0 million in respect of eight of its newbuilding containerships being built by Hyundai Samho, Hull Nos. S456, S457, S458, S459, S460, Hanjin Germany, Hanjin Italy and Hanjin Greece, in the form of delayed payment of a portion of the final installment for each such newbuilding.

 

Borrowings under this facility will bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 8%. The Company will be required to repay principal amounts under this financing facility in seven consecutive semi-annual installments commencing one and a half years, in the case of three of the newbuilding vessels being financed, and one year, in the case of the other five newbuilding vessels, after the delivery of the respective newbuilding being financed. This financing facility does not require the Company to comply with financial covenants, but contains customary events of default, including those relating to cross-defaults. This financing facility is secured by second priority collateral related to the newbuilding vessels being financed.

In 2008, the Company entered into a credit facility of $253.2 million with ABN Amro (acting as agent), Lloyds TSB and National Bank of Greece in relation to the financing of vessels YM Colombo, YM Seattle, YM Vancouver and YM Singapore. The structure of this credit facility is such that the group of banks loaned funds of $253.2 million to the Company, which the Company then re-loaned to a newly created entity of the group of banks (“Investor Bank”). With the proceeds, Investor Bank then subscribed for preference shares in Auckland Marine Inc., Seacarriers Services Inc., Seacarriers Lines Inc. and Wellington Marine Inc. (subsidiaries of Danaos Corporation). In addition, four of the Companies’ subsidiaries issued a put option in respect of the preference shares. The effect of these transactions is that the Company’s subsidiaries are required to pay out fixed preference dividends to the Investor Bank, the Investor Bank is

 

F-20



 

DANAOS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

required to pay fixed interest due on the loan from the Company to Investor Bank and finally the Investor Bank is required to pay put option premium on the put options issued in respect of the preference shares.

 

The interest payments to the Company by Investor Bank are contingent upon receipt of these preference dividends. In the event these dividends are not paid, the preference dividends will accumulate until such time as there are sufficient cash proceeds to settle all outstanding arrearages. Applying variable interest accounting to this arrangement, the Company has concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary of Investor Bank and accordingly has consolidated it into the Company’s group. Accordingly, as at June 30, 2011, the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Investor Bank’s net assets of $nil and net income of $nil, respectively, due to elimination on consolidation, of accounts and transactions arising between the Company and the Investor Bank.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under its Bank Agreement and its other credit facilities. In addition, under the prevailing market conditions and vessel values, the Company expects to be in compliance for the next twelve month period from the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

11     Financial Instruments

 

The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other assets. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long-term bank loans, accounts payable and derivatives.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments:  The Company only uses derivatives for economic hedging purposes. The following is a summary of the Company’s risk management strategies and the effect of these strategies on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Interest Rate Risk:  Interest rate risk arises on bank borrowings. The Company monitors the interest rate on borrowings closely to ensure that the borrowings are maintained at favorable rates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk:  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable and derivatives. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with established financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments, however, the Company limits this exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings. The Company depends upon a limited number of customers for a large part of its revenues. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally managed by the selection of customers among the major liner companies in the world and their dispersion across many geographic areas. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is mainly limited to the carrying value of its derivative instruments. The Company is not a party to master netting arrangements.

 

Fair Value:  The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities excluding long-term bank loans approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term floating rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of the swap agreements equals the amount that would be paid by the Company to cancel the swaps.

 

Interest Rate Swaps:  The off-balance sheet risk in outstanding swap agreements involves both the risk of a counter-party not performing under the terms of the contract and the risk associated with changes in market value. The Company monitors its positions, the credit ratings of counterparties and the level of contracts it enters into with any one party. The counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company has a policy of entering into contracts with parties that meet stringent qualifications and, given the high level of credit quality of its derivative counter-parties, the Company does not believe it is necessary to obtain collateral arrangements.

a.  Cash Flow Interest Rate Swap Hedges

 

The Company, according to its long-term strategic plan to maintain relative stability in its interest rate exposure, has decided to swap part of its interest expenses from floating to fixed. To this effect, the Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions with varying start and maturity dates, in order to pro-actively and efficiently manage its floating rate exposure.

 

These interest rate swaps are designed to economically hedge the variability of interest cash flows arising from floating rate debt, attributable to movements in three-month USD$ LIBOR. According to the Company’s Risk Management Accounting Policy, and after putting in place the formal documentation required by hedge accounting in order to designate these swaps as hedging instruments, as from their inception, these interest rate swaps qualified for hedge accounting, and, accordingly, since that time, only hedge ineffectiveness amounts arising from the differences in the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item are recognized in the Company’s earnings. Assessment and measurement of prospective and retrospective effectiveness for these interest rate swaps are performed on a quarterly basis. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the fair value gain or loss associated with the effective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized initially in stockholders’ equity, and recognized to the Statement of Income in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the forecasted transaction does not occur, the ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in the Statement of Income immediately.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

11  Financial Instruments (continued)

 

The Company recorded hedge ineffectiveness of $12.4 million gain and unrealized loss of $5.8 million in relation to fair value changes of two interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which were all recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income, as well as an amount of $0.2 million of unrealized loss reclassified from the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to the condensed statement of income. The total fair value change of the interest rate swaps for the period January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011, amounted to $9.2 million.

 

The variable-rate interest on certain borrowings is associated with vessels under construction and is capitalized as a cost of the specific vessels. In accordance with the accounting guidance on derivatives and hedging, the amounts in accumulated comprehensive income/(loss) related to realized gain or losses on cash flow hedges that have been entered into, in order to hedge the variability of that interest, are classified under other comprehensive income/(loss) and are reclassified into earnings over the depreciable life of the constructed asset, since that depreciable life coincides with the amortization period for the capitalized interest cost on the debt. Realized losses on cash flow hedges of $17.9 million and $21.8 million were recorded in other comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and an amount of $0.6 million and $0.1 million was reclassified into earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing its amortization over the depreciable life of the vessels.

The Company is currently in an over-hedged position under its cash flow interest rate swaps, which is due to deferred progress payments to shipyards, cancellation of three newbuildings in 2010, replacements of variable interest rate debt with a fixed interest rate seller’s financing and equity proceeds from the Company’s private placement in 2010, all of which reduced initial forecasted variable interest rate debt and resulted in notional cash flow interest rate swaps being above the variable interest rate debt eligible for hedging. Realized losses attributable to the over-hedging position were $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and were $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

b.   Fair Value Interest Rate Swap Hedges

 

These interest rate swaps are designed to economically hedge the fair value of the fixed rate loan facilities against fluctuations in the market interest rates by converting the Company’s fixed rate loan facilities to floating rate debt. Pursuant to the adoption of the Company’s Risk Management Accounting Policy, and after putting in place the formal documentation required by hedge accounting in order to designate these swaps as hedging instruments, as of June 15, 2006, these interest rate swaps qualified for hedge accounting, and, accordingly, since that time, hedge ineffectiveness amounts arising from the differences in the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item are recognized in the Company’s earnings. The Company considers its strategic use of interest rate swaps to be a prudent method of managing interest rate sensitivity, as it prevents earnings from being exposed to undue risk posed by changes in interest rates. Assessment and measurement of prospective and retrospective effectiveness for these interest rate swaps are performed on a quarterly basis, on the financial statement and earnings reporting dates.

Interest rate swap contracts are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the interest rate swap contracts have been calculated by discounting the projected future cash flows of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest payments. Projected interest payments are calculated using the appropriate prevailing market forward rates and are discounted using the zero-coupon curve derived from the swap yield curve. Refer to Note 11(a)-(b) above for further information on the Company’s interest rate swap contracts.

 

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance of its counterparties in relation to these financial instruments. As of June 30, 2011, these financial instruments are in the counterparties’ favor.  The Company has considered its risk of non-performance and that of its counterparties in accordance with fair value accounting. The Company performs evaluations of its counterparties for credit risk through ongoing monitoring of their financial health and risk profiles to identify risk or changes in their credit ratings.

The derivative complaint names as defendants seven of the eight members of the Company’s board of directors at the time the complaint was filed.  The derivative complaint challenges the amendments in 2009 and 2010 to the Company’s management agreement with Danaos Shipping and certain aspects of the sale of common stock in August 2010. The complaint includes counts for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. On February 11, 2011, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint. Plaintiff’s opposition to the motion was filed on May 14, 2011, and the reply brief was filed by the Company on June 23, 2011. No date for oral argument has yet been set.  Although at this stage of the proceedings no estimate of a possible loss, if any, can be made, in the opinion of management the disposition of this lawsuit will not have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

Other than as described above, there are no material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its properties are the subject, or other contingencies that the Company is aware of, other than routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business.

 

In the opinion of management, the disposition of the above described lawsuits will not have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
