Financial Report for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

 

The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018. References to “GasLog Partners”, “we”, “our”, “us” and “the Partnership” or similar terms refer to GasLog Partners LP and its subsidiaries. You should read this section in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For additional information relating to our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, please see our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2019. This discussion includes forward-looking statements which, although based on assumptions that we consider reasonable, are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or conditions to differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. See also the discussion in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

All statements in this report that are not statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements that address activities, events or developments that the Partnership expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, particularly in relation to our operations, cash flows, financial position, liquidity and cash available for dividends or distributions, plans, strategies, business prospects and changes and trends in our business and the markets in which we operate. We caution that these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report, about factors that are beyond our ability to control or predict, and are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. Any of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect future results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on any forward-looking statements.

 

Factors that might cause future results and outcomes to differ include, but are not limited to, the following:

·                  the ability of GasLog to maintain long-term relationships with major energy companies and major LNG producers, marketers and consumers;

·                  GasLog’s relationships with its employees and ship crews, its ability to retain key employees and provide services to us, and the availability of skilled labor, ship crews and management;

·                  changes in the ownership of our charterers;

·                  our customers’ performance of their obligations under our time charters and other contracts;

·                  our future operating performance, financial condition, liquidity and cash available for distributions;

·                  our ability to obtain financing to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and other corporate activities, funding by banks of their financial commitments, funding by GasLog of the revolving credit facility and our ability to meet our restrictive covenants and other obligations under our credit facilities;

·                  future, pending or recent acquisitions of ships or other assets, business strategy, areas of possible expansion and expected capital spending;

·                  risks inherent in ship operation, including the discharge of pollutants;

·                  any malfunction or disruption of information technology systems and networks that our operations rely on or any impact of a possible cybersecurity event;

·                  the expected cost of and our ability to comply with environmental and regulatory conditions, including changes in laws and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, governmental organizations, classification societies and standards imposed by our charterers applicable to our business;

·                  potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, political events, piracy or acts by terrorists;

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in our views or expectations or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

 

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

 

Cash Distribution

 

On July 24, 2019, the board of directors of GasLog Partners approved and declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.55 per common unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The cash distribution is payable on August 9, 2019 to all unitholders of record as of August 5, 2019. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution will be $26.7 million based on the number of units issued and outstanding on June 30, 2019.

 

Recent Developments

 

On January 29, 2019, the board of directors of GasLog Partners authorized a unit repurchase programme of up to $25.0 million covering the period from January 31, 2019 to December 31, 2021. Under the terms of the repurchase programme, GasLog Partners may repurchase common units from time to time, at its discretion, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, GasLog Partners repurchased and cancelled 476,351 of the Partnership’s common units at a weighted average price of $20.81 per common unit, for a total amount of $9.9 million, including commissions. Since the authorization of the unit repurchase programme and through July 25, 2019, GasLog Partners has repurchased and cancelled a total of 541,541 units at a weighted average price of $20.85 per common unit for a total amount of $11.3 million, including commissions. As of July 25, 2019, the unutilized portion of the unit repurchase programme was $13.7 million.

 

On April 1, 2019, in connection with the acquisition of GAS-twelve Ltd., the entity that owns the GasLog Glasgow, the Partnership paid to GasLog $93.6 million, representing the $214.0 million aggregate purchase price less the $134.1 million of outstanding indebtedness of the acquired entity assumed by GasLog Partners, plus an adjustment of $13.7 million in order to maintain the agreed working capital position in the acquired entity of $1.0 million.

 

On June 14, 2019, GasLog Partners entered into a three-and-a-half-year time charter agreement for the GasLog Shanghai, a 155,000 cubic meter (“cbm”) tri-fuel diesel electric (“TFDE”) LNG carrier built in 2013, with a subsidiary of Gunvor Group Ltd. (“Gunvor”). The charter commenced on June 24, 2019 and has a variable rate of hire within an agreed range during the charter period. On June 23, 2019, the GasLog Shanghai exited the Cool Pool, an LNG carrier pooling arrangement operated by GasLog and Golar LNG Ltd. (“Golar”) (the “Cool Pool”) following a termination agreement dated June 6, 2019 which GasLog and GasLog Partners entered into with the Cool Pool and Golar in order to assume commercial control of GasLog’s and GasLog Partners’ vessels operating in the spot market.

 

On June 24, 2019, GasLog and GasLog Partners entered into an agreement, effective as of June 30, 2019, to modify the Partnership Agreement, thereby eliminating GasLog’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”). In exchange for the IDRs, GasLog received 2,532,911 common units and 2,490,000 Class B units (of which 415,000 are Class B-1 units, 415,000 are Class B-2 units, 415,000 are Class B-3 units, 415,000 are Class B-4 units, 415,000 are Class B-5 units and 415,000 are Class B-6 units), issued on June 30, 2019. The Class B units have all of the rights and obligations attached to the common units, except for voting rights and participation in earnings and distributions until such time as GasLog exercises its right to convert the Class B units to common units. The Class B units will become eligible for conversion on a one-to-one basis into common units at GasLog’s option on July 1, 2020, July 1, 2021, July 1, 2022, July 1, 2023, July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025 for the Class B-1 units, Class B-2 units, Class B-3 units, Class B-4 units, Class B-5 units and Class B-6 units, respectively. Following the IDR elimination, the Partnership’s profit allocation is based on the revised distribution policy for available cash stated in the Partnership Agreement as amended, effective June 30, 2019 and under which 98.0% of the available cash is distributed to the common unitholders and 2.0% is distributed to the general partner.

 

As of June 30, 2019, GasLog held a 35.0% ownership interest in the Partnership (including 2.0% through general partner units) and a 31.7% voting and economic interest in the Partnership. As a result of its 100% ownership of the general partner, and the fact that the general partner elects the majority of the Partnership’s directors in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, GasLog has the ability to control the Partnership’s affairs and policies.

 

Overview

 

We are a growth-oriented limited partnership focused on owning, operating and acquiring LNG carriers engaged in LNG transportation.

 

As of June 30, 2019, our fleet consisted of 15 LNG carriers, including 10 vessels with TFDE propulsion and five modern steam turbine propulsion (“Steam”) vessels. We also have options and other rights under which we may acquire additional LNG carriers from GasLog, as described below. We believe that such options and rights provide us with significant built-in growth opportunities. We may also acquire vessels or other LNG infrastructure assets from shipyards or other owners.

 

We operate our vessels mainly under multi-year charters with fixed-fee contracts that generate predictable cash flows during the life of these charters. One of our vessels currently operates under a three-and-a-half-year time charter with a market-linked daily hire rate determined on a per voyage basis. We intend to grow our portfolio through further acquisitions of LNG carriers or other LNG infrastructure assets from GasLog and/ or third parties. However, we cannot assure you that we will make any particular acquisition or that, as a consequence, we will successfully grow our

distributions per common unit. Among other things, our ability to acquire additional LNG carriers or other LNG infrastructure assets will be dependent upon our ability to raise additional equity and debt financing.

Five-Year Vessel Business Opportunities

 

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

Results of Operations

 

Our results set forth below are derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership. The transfers of the GasLog Gibraltar, the Methane Becki Anne and the GasLog Glasgow from GasLog to the Partnership on April 26, 2018, November 14, 2018 and April 1, 2019, respectively, were accounted for as reorganizations of entities under common control under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiaries assuming that they are consolidated from the dates of their incorporation by GasLog as they were under the common control of GasLog.

 

The Partnership’s historical results were retroactively restated to reflect the historical results of these acquired entities during the periods they were owned by GasLog.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, we had an average of 15 vessels operating in our owned fleet having 1,280 operating days, while during the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, we had an average of 15 vessels operating in our owned fleet having 1,340 operating days.

 

Revenues: Revenues decreased by $0.3 million, or 0.3%, from $92.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $91.8 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in revenues is mainly attributable to the expirations of the initial time charters of the GasLog Shanghai, the GasLog Santiago and the GasLog Sydney in May, June and September 2018, respectively. Following the expirations of their initial charters, the GasLog Shanghai traded in the spot market through the Cool Pool until June 2019 and was subsequently re-chartered to Gunvor, the GasLog Santiago began a new, multi-year charter with Trafigura in August 2018 and the GasLog Sydney began a new, 18-month charter with Cheniere in December 2018. This decrease was almost entirely offset by the decreased off-hire days due to scheduled dry-dockings. As a result, the average daily hire rate decreased from $71,941 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $68,511 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.

 

Net Pool Allocation:  Net pool allocation was $(0.4) million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $1.0 million of net pool allocation in the three months ended June 30, 2019 represents the adjustment of the net results generated by the GasLog Shanghai in accordance with the pool distribution formula before exiting the Cool Pool on June 23, 2019. In the three months ended June 30, 2019, GasLog Partners recognized gross revenues and gross voyage expenses and commissions of $1.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, from the operation of the GasLog Shanghai, which entered the Cool Pool in May 2018 (June 30, 2018: $1.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively). GasLog Partners’ total net pool performance is presented below:

Voyage Expenses and Commissions:  Voyage expenses and commissions increased by $0.3 million, or 17.6%, from $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in voyage expenses and commissions is mainly attributable to an increase in bunker consumption costs from the operation of the GasLog Shanghai in the spot market through the Cool Pool.

 

Vessel Operating Costs: Vessel operating costs increased marginally by $0.3 million, or 1.6%, from $18.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $18.5 million for the same period in 2019. The increase is attributable to an increase in technical maintenance expenses of $1.1 million, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in crew wages, mainly due to the favorable movement of the EUR/USD exchange rate, which decreased by an average of 4.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 and a decrease of $0.5 million in other operating expenses, mainly due to decreased vessel taxes. Daily operating costs per vessel also increased marginally from $14,292 per day for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $14,559 per day for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.

 

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 4.1%, from $4.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $4.7 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to a decrease of $0.3 million in the administrative services fees payable to GasLog in 2019.

 

Financial Costs: Financial costs increased by $0.8 million, or 4.5%, from $17.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $18.5 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in financial costs is mainly attributable to an increase of $1.1 million in interest expense on loans, primarily due to the higher LIBOR rates in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in amortization and write-off of deferred loan issuance costs. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, we had an average of $1,450.2 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 4.3%, compared to an average of $1,424.3 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 4.7% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.

 

Gain/(loss) on Derivatives: Gain/(loss) on derivatives decreased by $9.9 million, from a gain of $1.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 to a loss of $8.3 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease is attributable to a $9.7 million decrease in unrealized gain from the mark-to-market valuation of the derivatives which were carried at fair value through profit or loss, which reflected a gain of $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a loss of $8.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, and an increase of $0.2 million in realized loss on derivatives held for trading.

 

Profit for the Period: Profit for the period decreased by $10.5 million, or 35.5%, from $29.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $19.1 million for the same period in 2019, as a result of the aforementioned factors.

 

Profit Attributable to the Partnership: Profit attributable to the Partnership decreased by $3.8 million, or 16.6%, from $22.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $19.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was mainly driven by a $9.9 million decrease in gain from the mark-to-market valuation of the derivatives attributable to the Partnership which were carried at fair value through profit or loss, partially offset by the profits of the GasLog Gibraltar, the Methane Becki Anne and the GasLog Glasgow, acquired by the Partnership on April 26, 2018, November 14, 2018 and April 1, 2019, respectively.

 

Specifically, the profit attributable to the Partnership was mainly affected by (a) an increase in revenues of $17.2 million contributed by the GasLog Gibraltar, the Methane Becki Anne and the GasLog Glasgow after their drop-downs to the Partnership, (b) an increase in operating expenses attributable to the Partnership of $3.4 million, mainly attributable to the operating expenses of the acquired vessels, and (c) an increase in depreciation

 

22


 

expense attributable to the Partnership of $4.2 million, resulting primarily from the acquisition of the aforementioned vessels.

 

In addition, the profit attributable to the Partnership was further affected by (a) an increase in financial costs attributable to the Partnership of $3.9 million, mainly due to increased interest expense with respect to the aggregate outstanding debt of the GasLog Gibraltar, the Methane Becki Anne and the GasLog Glasgow after their respective drop-downs to the Partnership, and (b) a decrease of $9.9 million in unrealized gain on derivatives.

 

The above discussion of revenues, operating expenses, depreciation expense, financial costs and unrealized gain on derivatives in relation to the Profit attributable to the Partnership for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 are non-GAAP measures that exclude amounts related to vessels currently owned by the Partnership for the periods prior to their respective transfers to GasLog Partners from GasLog. For a reconciliation of the results attributable to the Partnership to the most directly comparable IFRS reported results, refer to Appendix A included elsewhere in this report.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, we had an average of 15 vessels operating in our owned fleet having 2,628 operating days, while during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, we had an average of 15 vessels operating in our owned fleet having 2,684 operating days.

 

Revenues: Revenues decreased by $5.7 million, or 3.0%, from $191.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $185.7 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in revenues is mainly attributable to the expirations of the initial time charters of the GasLog Shanghai, the GasLog Santiago and the GasLog Sydney in May, June and September 2018, respectively. Following the expirations of their initial charters, the GasLog Shanghai traded in the spot market through the Cool Pool until June 2019 and was subsequently re-chartered to Gunvor, the GasLog Santiago began a new, multi-year charter with Trafigura in August 2018 and the GasLog Sydney began a new, 18-month charter with Cheniere in December 2018. This decrease was partially offset by the decreased off-hire days due to scheduled dry-dockings. As a result, the average daily hire rate decreased from $72,839 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $69,184 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

 

Net Pool Allocation:  Net pool allocation was $(0.4) million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $1.1 million of net pool allocation in the six months ended June 30, 2019 represents the adjustment of the net results generated by the GasLog Shanghai in accordance with the pool distribution formula before exiting the Cool Pool on June 23, 2019. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, GasLog Partners recognized gross revenues and gross voyage expenses and commissions of $5.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, from the operation of the GasLog Shanghai, which entered the Cool Pool in May 2018 (June 30, 2018: $1.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively). GasLog Partners’ total net pool performance is presented below:

Voyage Expenses and Commissions:  Voyage expenses and commissions increased by $0.8 million, or 25.8%, from $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $3.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in voyage expenses and commissions is mainly attributable to an increase in bunker consumption costs from the operation of the GasLog Shanghai in the spot market through the Cool Pool.

 

Vessel Operating Costs: Vessel operating costs decreased by $1.1 million, or 2.9%, from $38.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $37.2 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in vessel operating costs is attributable to a decrease of $1.1 million in crew wages, mainly due to the favorable movement of the EUR/USD exchange rate, which decreased by an average of 7.0% in the first six months of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. As a result, daily operating costs per vessel decreased from $15,128 per day for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $14,672 per day for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

 

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 4.1%, from $9.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $9.4 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly

 

23


 

attributable to a decrease of $0.6 million in the administrative services fees payable to GasLog in 2019.

 

Financial Costs: Financial costs increased by $2.5 million, or 7.0%, from $35.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $38.1 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in financial costs is mainly attributable to an increase of $2.6 million in interest expense on loans, primarily due to the higher LIBOR rates in the first six months of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, we had an average of $1,484.9 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 4.1%, compared to an average of $1,399.5 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 4.8% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

 

Gain/(loss) on Derivatives: Gain/(loss) on derivatives decreased by $21.0 million, from a gain of $7.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to a loss of $13.1 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease is attributable to a $21.6 million decrease in unrealized gain from the mark-to-market valuation of the derivatives which were carried at fair value through profit or loss, which reflected a gain of $7.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a loss of $14.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in realized loss on derivatives held for trading.

 

Profit for the Period: Profit for the period decreased by $27.8 million, or 39.7%, from $70.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $42.2 million for the same period in 2019, as a result of the aforementioned factors.

 

Profit Attributable to the Partnership: Profit attributable to the Partnership decreased by $15.4 million, or 28.1%, from $54.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $39.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was mainly driven by a $21.0 million decrease in gain from the mark-to-market valuation of the derivatives attributable to the Partnership, which were carried at fair value through profit or loss, partially offset by the profits of the GasLog Gibraltar, the Methane Becki Anne and the GasLog Glasgow, acquired by the Partnership on April 26, 2018, November 14, 2018 and April 1, 2019, respectively.

 

Specifically, the profit attributable to the Partnership was mainly affected by (a) an increase in revenues of $26.2 million ($31.9 million contributed by the GasLog Gibraltar, the Methane Becki Anne and the GasLog Glasgow after their drop-downs to the Partnership, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from the remaining fleet of $5.7 million, mainly due to the expirations of the initial time charters of the GasLog Shanghai, the GasLog Santiago and the GasLog Sydney in May, June and September 2018, respectively, as offset by decreased off-hire days due to scheduled dry-dockings), (b) an increase in operating expenses attributable to the Partnership of $5.0 million, mainly attributable to the operating expenses of the acquired vessels, partially offset by decreased crew wages for the remaining fleet, and (c) an increase in depreciation expense attributable to the Partnership of $7.8 million, resulting primarily from the acquisition of the aforementioned vessels.

 

In addition, the profit attributable to the Partnership was further affected by (a) an increase in financial costs attributable to the Partnership of $7.9 million, mainly due to increased interest expense with respect to the aggregate outstanding debt of the GasLog Gibraltar, the Methane Becki Anne and the GasLog Glasgow after their respective drop-downs to the Partnership, and (b) a decrease of $21.0 million in unrealized gain on derivatives.

 

The above discussion of revenues, operating expenses, depreciation expense, financial costs and unrealized gain on derivatives in relation to the Profit attributable to the Partnership for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 are non-GAAP measures that exclude amounts related to vessels currently owned by the Partnership for the periods prior to their respective transfers to GasLog Partners from GasLog. For a reconciliation of the results attributable to the Partnership to the most directly comparable IFRS reported results, refer to Appendix A included elsewhere in this report.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had $69.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $25.7 million was held in current accounts and $43.3 million was held in time deposits with an original duration of less than three months. An additional amount of $19.0 million of time deposits with an original duration greater than three months was classified as short-term investments.

 

On April 1, 2019, in connection with the acquisition of GAS-twelve Ltd., the entity that owns the GasLog Glasgow, the Partnership paid to GasLog $93.6 million representing the $214.0 million aggregate purchase price less the $134.1 million of outstanding indebtedness of the acquired entity assumed by GasLog Partners, plus an adjustment of $13.7 million in order to maintain the agreed working capital position in the acquired entity of $1.0 million.

 

In the three months ended June 30, 2019, GasLog Partners repurchased and cancelled 476,351 common units at a weighted average price of $20.81 under its unit repurchase programme authorized in January 2019, for a total amount of $9.9 million, including commissions. Since the authorization of the unit repurchase programme and through July 25, 2019, GasLog Partners has repurchased and cancelled a total of 541,541 units at a weighted average price of $20.85 per common unit for a total amount of $11.3 million, including commissions. As of July 25, 2019, the unutilized portion of the unit repurchase programme was $13.7 million.

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had an aggregate of $1,396.5 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities, of which $105.5 million

 

24


 

is repayable within one year. In addition, as of June 30, 2019, we had unused availability under our revolving credit facilities of $63.6 million.

 

The Partnership has entered into six interest rate swap agreements with GasLog at a notional value of $625.0 million in aggregate, maturing between 2020 and 2024. As a result of its hedging agreements, the Partnership has hedged 44.1% of its floating interest rate exposure on its outstanding debt as of June 30, 2019, at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.1% (excluding margin).

 

Furthermore, the Partnership has in place three forward foreign exchange contracts with GasLog with a notional value of €6.0 million and staggered maturities during the third quarter of 2019 to mitigate its foreign exchange transaction exposure in its operating expenses.

 

Working Capital Position

 

As of June 30, 2019, our current assets totaled $107.9 million and current liabilities totaled $148.1 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $40.2 million.

 

Taking into account generally expected market conditions, we anticipate that cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, including our working capital requirements, and to make the required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness during the next 12 months.

 

Cash Flows

Net Cash provided by Operating Activities:

 

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $15.4 million, from $107.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $91.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The decrease of $15.4 million is attributable to a decrease of $8.3 million in working capital movements, a decrease in revenue of $4.3 million, an increase of $4.2 million in interest paid and an increase of $0.4 million in voyage expenses and commissions and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in vessel operating costs and an increase of $0.6 million in realized gain on derivatives held for trading.

 

Net Cash used in Investing Activities:

 

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $15.1 million, from net cash used in investing activities of $25.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $10.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The decrease of $15.1 million is mainly attributable to a decrease of the net of payments for vessels’ additions and return of capital expenditures of $10.9 million and a decrease in net cash used in short-term investments of $4.0 million.

 

Net Cash used in Financing Activities:

 

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $51.9 million, from net cash used in financing activities of $93.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to net cash used in financing activities of $145.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The increase of $51.9 million is mainly attributable to an increase of $274.0 million in borrowings repayments, a decrease in proceeds from public offerings and issuances of common and general partner units (net of underwriting discounts and commissions), after payment of offering costs, of $110.7 million, an increase of $74.6 million in cash distributions to GasLog in exchange for contribution of net assets, an increase of $12.5 million in distributions paid, an increase of $9.9 million in cash used for repurchases of common units and an increase of $4.9 million in payments of loan issuance costs, partially offset by an increase in borrowings drawdowns of $435.0 million.

(1)      Reflects time charter revenues and contracted days for the 15 LNG carriers in our fleet as of June 30, 2019.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The table above provides information about our contracted charter revenues and ship utilization based on contracts in effect for the 15 LNG carriers in our fleet as of June 30, 2019. The table reflects only our contracted charter revenues for the ships in our owned fleet for which we have secured time charters, and it does not reflect the costs or expenses we will incur in fulfilling our obligations under the charters. In particular, the table does not reflect any time charter revenues from any additional ships we may acquire in the future, nor does it reflect the options under our time charters that permit our charterers to extend the time charter terms for successive multi-year periods at comparable charter hire rates. If exercised, the options to extend the terms of our existing charters would result in an increase in the number of contracted days and the contracted revenue for our fleet in the future. Although the contracted charter revenues are based on contracted charter hire rate provisions, they reflect certain assumptions, including assumptions relating to future ship operating costs. We consider the assumptions to be reasonable as of the date of this report, but if these assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual time charter revenues could differ from those reflected in the table. Furthermore, any contract is subject to various risks, including performance by the counterparties or an early termination of the contract pursuant to its terms. If the charterers are unable or unwilling to make charter payments to us, or if we agree to renegotiate charter terms at the request of a charterer or if contracts are prematurely terminated for any reason, we would be exposed to prevailing market conditions at the time and our results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Please see the disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019. For these reasons, the contracted charter revenue information presented above is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. Neither the Partnership’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the information presented in the table, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the information in the table.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019

1. Organization and Operations

 

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

 

On April 26, 2018, GasLog Partners acquired 100% of the ownership interests in GAS-fourteen Ltd., the entity that owns a 174,000 cbm LNG carrier, the GasLog Gibraltar, for an aggregate purchase price of $207,000. On November 14, 2018, GasLog Partners acquired 100% of the ownership interests in GAS-twenty seven Ltd., the entity that owns a 170,000 cbm LNG carrier, the Methane Becki Anne, for an aggregate purchase price of $207,400. On April 1, 2019, GasLog Partners acquired 100% of the ownership interests in GAS-twelve Ltd., the entity that owns a 174,000 cbm LNG carrier, the GasLog Glasgow, for an aggregate purchase price of $214,000.

 

The above acquisitions were accounted for as reorganizations of companies under common control. The Partnership’s historical results and net assets were retroactively restated to reflect the historical results of the acquired entities from their respective dates of incorporation by GasLog. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities included are based on the historical carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities recognized by the subsidiaries.

 

As of June 30, 2019, GasLog holds a 35.0% interest in the Partnership (including 2.0% through its general partner interest). As a result of its 100% ownership of the general partner, and the fact that the general partner elects the majority of the Partnership’s directors in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, GasLog has the ability to control the Partnership’s affairs and policies.

 

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

2. Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required by IFRS for a complete set of annual financial statements have been omitted, and therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed on an Annual Report on Form 20-F with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 26, 2019.

 

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

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as applied in the preparation of the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the changes resulting from the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases (as discussed below). On July 25, 2019, the Partnership’s board of directors authorized the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for issuance.

 

The critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty were disclosed in the Partnership’s annual consolidated financial

 

F-6


 

statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and remain unchanged.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars (“USD”), which is the functional currency of the Partnership and each of its subsidiaries because their vessels operate in international shipping markets, in which revenues and expenses are primarily settled in USD and the Partnership’s most significant assets and liabilities are paid for and settled in USD.

 

Management anticipates that the Partnership’s primary sources of funds will be available cash, cash from operations, borrowings under existing debt and future debt and equity financings, if any. Management believes that these sources of funds will be sufficient for the Partnership to meet its liquidity needs and comply with its banking covenants for at least twelve months from the end of the reporting period and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, although there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to obtain future debt and equity financing on acceptable terms.

 

Adoption of new and revised IFRS

 

(a) Standards and interpretations adopted in the current period

 

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

 

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer (“lessee”) and the supplier (“lessor”). IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases by lessees as either operating leases or finance leases and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Applying that model, a lessee is required to recognize: (a) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the statement of profit or loss. Lessors continue to classify their leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 Leases supersedes the previous leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related Interpretations. The standard is effective from January 1, 2019.

 

The Partnership leases various types of vessels’ equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Following the implementation of IFRS 16, a lease is recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability on the date when the leased asset is available for use by the Partnership. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

 

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: (a) fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable, (b) variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate (if any), (c) amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees (if any), (d) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and (e) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the Partnership’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: (a) the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability, (b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, (c) any initial direct costs, and (d) any restoration costs. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

 

For leases where the Partnership is the lessee, the Partnership has elected to apply the simplified approach, by which comparative information is not restated and any adjustment is recognized at the date of initial application of IFRS 16 Leases. The adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019, resulted in an increase in total assets of $1,585, an increase in retained earnings of $192 and an increase in total liabilities of $1,393.

 

(b) Standards and amendments in issue not yet adopted

 

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

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

 

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

 

(ii)      Administrative Services Agreement

 

Upon completion of the IPO on May 12, 2014, the Partnership entered into an administrative services agreement (the “Administrative Services Agreement”) with GasLog, pursuant to which GasLog will provide certain management and administrative services. The services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement are provided as the Partnership may direct, and include bookkeeping, audit, legal, insurance, administrative, clerical, banking, financial, advisory, client and investor relations services. The Administrative Services Agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated by the Partnership upon 90 days’ notice for any reason in the sole discretion of the Partnership’s board of directors. Until December 31, 2016, GasLog received a service fee of $588 per vessel per year in connection with providing services under this agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, the annual service fee was $632 and $812 per vessel per year, respectively. With effect from January 1, 2019, the service fee was amended to $608 per vessel per year.

 

(iii)    Ship Management Agreements

 

F-8


 

Upon completion of the IPO on May 12, 2014, GAS-three Ltd., GAS-four Ltd. and GAS-five Ltd. entered into an amended ship management agreement (collectively, the “Amended Ship Management Agreements”) under which the vessel owning subsidiaries pay a management fee of $46 per month to the Manager and reimburse the Manager for all expenses incurred on their behalf. The Amended Ship Management Agreements also provide for superintendent fees of $1 per day payable to the Manager for each day in excess of 25 days per calendar year for which a superintendent performed visits to the vessels, an annual incentive bonus of up to $72 based on key performance indicators predetermined annually and contain clauses for decreased management fees in case of a vessel’s lay-up. The management fees are subject to an annual adjustment, agreed between the parties in good faith, on the basis of general inflation and proof of increases in actual costs incurred by the Manager. Each Amended Ship Management Agreement continues indefinitely until terminated by either party. The same provisions are included in the ship management agreements that GAS-sixteen Ltd., GAS-seventeen Ltd., GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd., GAS-twenty one Ltd. and GAS-twenty seven Ltd. entered into with the Manager upon the deliveries of the Methane Rita Andrea, the Methane Jane Elizabeth, the Methane Alison Victoria, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, the Methane Heather Sally and the Methane Becki Anne, respectively, into GasLog’s fleet in April 2014, June 2014 and March 2015 (together with the Amended Ship Management Agreements and the ship management agreement that GAS-seven Ltd. entered into with the Manager upon its vessel’s delivery from the shipyard in 2013, the “Ship Management Agreements”). In May 2015, the Ship Management Agreements were further amended to delete the annual incentive bonus and superintendent fees clauses and, in the case of GAS-seven Ltd., to also increase the fixed monthly charge to $46 with effect from April 1, 2015. In April 2016, the Ship Management Agreements were amended to consolidate all ship management related fees into a single fee structure. This single fee structure was already provided for in the ship management agreements that GAS-eleven Ltd., GAS-twelve Ltd., GAS-thirteen Ltd. and GAS-fourteen Ltd. had entered into with GasLog upon the deliveries of the GasLog Greece in March 2016, the GasLog Glasgow in June 2016, the GasLog Geneva in September 2016 and the GasLog Gibraltar in October 2016, respectively (with a fixed monthly charge of $46).

6. Partners’ Equity

 

On January 29, 2019, the board of directors of GasLog Partners authorized a unit repurchase programme of up to $25,000 covering the period January 31, 2019 to December 31, 2021. Under the terms of the repurchase programme, GasLog Partners may repurchase common units from time to time, at its discretion, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, GasLog Partners repurchased and cancelled 476,351 common units at a weighted average price of $20.81 per common unit, for a total cost of $9,921 including commissions.

 

On February 26, 2019, the Partnership entered into a Third Amended and Restated Equity Distribution Agreement to further increase the size of the ATM common equity offering programme (“ATM Programme”) from $144,000 to $250,000. As of June 30, 2019, the unutilized portion of the ATM Programme is $126,556.

 

On April 1, 2019, GasLog Partners issued 49,850 common units in connection with the vesting of 24,925 Restricted Common Units (“RCUs”) and 24,925 Performance Common Units (“PCUs”) under its 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”).

 

On June 24, 2019, the Partnership Agreement was amended to eliminate the IDRs, effective as of June 30, 2019, in exchange for the issuance by the Partnership to GasLog of 2,532,911 common units and 2,490,000 Class B units (of which 415,000 are Class B-1 units, 415,000 are Class B-2 units, 415,000 are Class B-3 units, 415,000 are Class B-4 units, 415,000 are Class B-5 units and 415,000 are Class B-6 units), issued on June 30, 2019. The Class B units have all of the rights and obligations attached to the common units, except for voting rights and participation in distributions until such time as GasLog exercises its right to convert the Class B units to common units. The Class B units will become eligible for conversion on a one-for-one basis into common units at GasLog’s option on July 1, 2020, July 1, 2021, July 1, 2022, July 1, 2023, July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025 for the Class B-1 units, Class B-2 units, Class B-3 units, Class B-4 units, Class B-5 units and Class B-6 units, respectively (refer also to Note 16).

 

With respect to the aforementioned transactions during the period, the Partnership also issued 93,804 general partner units to its general partner in order for GasLog to retain its 2.0% general partner interest. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partner units were $1,996.

 

The following table illustrates the percentage allocation of the additional available cash from operating surplus after the payment of preference unit distributions, in respect to such rights, until the IDR elimination on June 30, 2019:

The main terms of the bank loan facilities and the Sponsor Credit Facility have been disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements

 

F-10


 

for the year ended December 31, 2018. Refer to Note 6 “Borrowings”.

 

On February 20, 2019, GAS-three Ltd., GAS-four Ltd., GAS-five Ltd., GAS-sixteen Ltd., GAS-seventeen Ltd., GasLog Partners and GasLog Partners Holdings LLC entered into a loan agreement with Credit Suisse AG, Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Norge and Iyo Bank Ltd., Singapore Branch, each an original lender and Nordea acting as security agent and trustee for and on behalf of the other finance parties mentioned above, for a credit facility for up to $450,000 (the “2019 Partnership Facility”) for the purpose of refinancing in full the existing facility agreement dated November 12, 2014 (the “Existing Partnership Facility”). Subsequently, on the same date, the Development Bank of Japan, Inc. entered the facility as lender via transfer certificate. The vessels covered by the 2019 Partnership Facility are the GasLog Shanghai, the GasLog Santiago, the GasLog Sydney, the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth.

 

The agreement provides for an amortizing revolving credit facility which can be repaid and redrawn at any time, subject to the outstanding amount immediately after any drawdown not exceeding (i) 75% of the aggregate of the market values of all vessels under the agreement, or (ii) the total facility amount. The total facility amount reduces in 20 equal quarterly amounts of $7,357, with a final balloon amount of up to $302,860, together with the last quarterly reduction in February 2024. The credit facility bears interest at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin.

 

The obligations under the 2019 Partnership Facility are secured by a first priority mortgage over the vessels, a pledge of the share capital of the respective vessel-owning companies and a first priority assignment of earnings related to the vessels (excluding the GasLog Shanghai), including charter revenue, management revenue and any insurance and requisition compensation. The obligations under the facility are guaranteed by the Partnership and GasLog Partners Holdings LLC.

 

The 2019 Partnership Facility is subject to specified financial covenants that apply to GasLog Partners on a consolidated basis. These financial covenants include the following:

 

-                    the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and available undrawn facilities with remaining maturities of at least six months must be at least $45,000;

-                    total indebtedness divided by total assets must be less than 65.0%; and

-                    the Partnership is permitted to declare or pay any dividends or distributions, subject to no event of default having occurred or occurring as a consequence of the payment of such dividends or distributions.

 

The 2019 Partnership Facility contains customary events of default, including non-payment of principal or interest, breach of covenants or material inaccuracy of representations, default under other material indebtedness and bankruptcy as well as an event of default in the event of the cancellation, rescission, frustration or withdrawal of a charter agreement prior to its scheduled expiration, if certain prepayment and security provisions are not met. In addition, the 2019 Partnership Facility contains covenants requiring us and certain of our subsidiaries to maintain the aggregate of (i) the market value, on a charter exclusive basis, of the mortgaged vessel or vessels and (ii) the market value of any additional security provided to the lenders, at a total value not less than 120.0% of the then-outstanding amount under the facility. If GasLog Partners fails to comply with these covenants and is not able to obtain covenant waivers or modifications, its lenders could require it to make prepayments or provide additional collateral sufficient to bring it into compliance with such covenants, and if it fails to do so its lenders could accelerate our indebtedness.

 

The 2019 Partnership Facility also imposes certain restrictions relating to the Partnership, including restrictions that limit its ability to make any substantial change in the nature of its business or to the partnership structure without approval from the lenders.

 

On March 6, 2019, the Partnership drew down $360,000 under the 2019 Partnership Facility, out of which $354,375 was used to prepay the outstanding debt of GAS-three Ltd., GAS-four Ltd., GAS-five Ltd., GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd., which would have been due in November 2019. On March 7, 2019, the Existing Partnership Facility was terminated and the respective unamortized loan fees of $988 were written-off to profit or loss. On April 1, 2019, the Partnership drew down an additional $75,000 under the 2019 Partnership Facility.

 

GAS-twelve Ltd. Facility

 

Following the acquisition of GAS-twelve Ltd., the Partnership assumed $134,107 of outstanding indebtedness of the acquired entity under a debt financing agreement dated October 16, 2015 with 14 international banks, with Citibank N.A. London Branch and Nordea Bank AB, London Branch acting as agents on behalf of the other financing parties. The financing was backed by the Export Import Bank of Korea (“KEXIM”) and the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation (“K-Sure”), who were either directly lending or providing cover for over 60% of the facility.

 

The loan agreement with respect to the GasLog Glasgow provided for four tranches of $51,257, $25,615, $24,991 and $61,104. Under the terms of the agreement, each drawing under the first three tranches will be repaid in 24 consecutive semi-annual equal installments commencing six months after draw down, according to a 12-year profile. Each drawing under the fourth tranche will be repaid in 20 consecutive semi-annual equal installments commencing six months after draw down according to a 20-year profile, with a balloon payment together with the final installment. On June 24, 2016, $162,967 was drawn down to partially finance the delivery of the GasLog Glasgow. Amounts drawn per tranche bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin.

 

The obligations under the aforementioned facility are secured by a first priority mortgage over the GasLog Glasgow, a pledge of the share capital of the vessel-owning company and a first priority assignment of earnings related to the GasLog Glasgow, including charter revenue, management revenue and any insurance and requisition compensation. Obligations under the facility are guaranteed by GasLog, with the Partnership and its subsidiary GasLog Partners Holdings LLC guaranteeing up to the value of the commitments relating to the GasLog Glasgow. The facility includes customary restrictive covenants and, among other restrictions, a fair market value covenant pursuant to which an event of default could occur under the facility if the aggregate fair market value of the collateral vessel (without taking into account any charter arrangements) were to fall below 120% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance.

 

F-11


 

GasLog, as corporate guarantor for the aforementioned facility, is also subject to specified financial covenants on a consolidated basis. The financial covenants include the following:

 

-      net working capital (excluding the current portion of long-term debt) must be not less than $0;

-      total indebtedness divided by total assets must not exceed 75.0%;

-      the ratio of EBITDA over debt service obligations (including interest and debt repayments) on a trailing 12-month basis must be not less than 110.0%;

-      the aggregate amount of all unencumbered cash and cash equivalents must be not less than the higher of 3% of total indebtedness or $50,000 after the first drawdown;

-      GasLog is permitted to pay dividends, provided that it holds unencumbered cash and cash equivalents equal to at least 4.0% of its total indebtedness subject to no event of default having occurred or occurring as a consequence of the payment of such dividends; and

-      the market value adjusted net worth of GasLog must at all times be not less than $350,000.

 

GasLog was in compliance with the above financial covenants as of June 30, 2019. Any failure by GasLog to comply with these financial covenants would permit the lenders under this credit facility to exercise remedies as secured creditors which, if such a default was to occur, could include foreclosing on the GasLog Glasgow.

 

The credit facility also imposes certain restrictions relating to GasLog, including restrictions that limit its ability to make any substantial change in the nature of its business or to engage in transactions that would constitute a change of control, as defined in the relevant credit facility, without repaying all of its indebtedness in full, or to allow its largest shareholders to reduce their shareholding in GasLog below specified thresholds.

 

GasLog Partners was in compliance with its financial covenants as of June 30, 2019.

Interest rate swap agreements

 

The Partnership enters into interest rate swap agreements which convert the floating interest rate exposure into a fixed interest rate in order to hedge a portion of the Partnership’s exposure to fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the counterparty effects quarterly floating-rate payments to the Partnership for the notional amount based on the three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, and the Partnership effects quarterly payments to the counterparty on the notional amount at the respective fixed rates.

The derivative instruments listed above were not designated as cash flow hedging instruments as of June 30, 2019. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to a loss of $9,112 and $14,609, respectively (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, a gain of $1,187 and $7,557, respectively), which was recognized in profit or loss in the period incurred and is included in Gain/(loss) on derivatives. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the loss of $9,112 and $14,609, respectively (Note 13) was attributable to changes in the LIBOR yield curve, which was used to calculate the present value of the estimated future cash flows, resulting in a decrease in net derivative assets from interest rate swaps held for trading.

 

Forward foreign exchange contracts

 

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

On May 10, 2019, the board of directors of the Partnership approved and declared a distribution on the Series A Preference Units of $0.5390625 per preference unit, a distribution on the Series B Preference Units of $0.5125 per preference unit and a distribution on the Series C Preference Units of $0.53125 per preference unit. The aggregate cash distributions of $7,582 were paid on June 17, 2019 to all unitholders of record as of June 10, 2019.

 

16. Earnings per Unit (“EPU”)

 

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

 

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

 

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

* Includes the aggregate profit of GAS-fourteen Ltd. and GAS-twenty seven Ltd. for the period prior to their transfers to the Partnership on April 26, 2018 and November 14, 2018, respectively. While such amounts are reflected in the Partnership’s financial statements because the transfers to the Partnership were accounted for as reorganizations of entities under common control (Note 1), the aforementioned entities were not owned by the Partnership prior to their transfers to the Partnership on the respective dates and accordingly the Partnership was not entitled to the cash or results generated in the periods prior to such transfers.

 

** The IDRs were eliminated on June 30, 2019 (Note 6). Until their elimination, they represented the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. GasLog held the incentive distribution rights following completion of the Partnership’s IPO. Based on the nature of such right, earnings attributable to IDRs could not be allocated on a per unit basis.

 

***Includes unvested awards (Note 17).

 

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

 

17. Share-based Compensation

 

The terms of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and the assumptions for the valuation of Restricted Common Units (“RCUs”) and Performance Common Units (“PCUs”) have been disclosed in Note 20 “Share-Based Compensation” in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

On April 1, 2019, the Partnership granted to its executives 13,408 RCUs and 13,408 PCUs in accordance with its 2015 Plan. The RCUs and PCUs will vest on April 1, 2022. The holders are entitled to cash distributions that will be accrued and settled on vesting.

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

 

Fair value

 

The fair value of the RCUs and PCUs in accordance with the Plan was determined by using the grant date closing price of $22.99 per common unit and was not further adjusted since the holders are entitled to cash distributions.

Following the acquisition of (i) the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth and (ii) the Methane Alison Victoria, the Methane Shirley Elisabeth and the Methane Heather Sally, the Partnership, through its subsidiaries (i) GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd. and (ii) GAS-nineteen Ltd., GAS-twenty Ltd. and GAS-twenty one Ltd., respectively, is counter guarantor for the acquisition from BG Group plc of 83.3% of depot spares with an aggregate value of $6,000, of which $660 have been purchased and paid as of June 30, 2019 by GasLog. These spares should be acquired before March 31, 2020.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

19. Subsequent Events

 

On July 1, 2019 and July 2, 2019, GasLog Partners repurchased, and subsequently cancelled, an additional 65,190 common units at a weighted average price of $21.20 per unit for a total amount of $1,383 under its unit repurchase programme.

 

On July 24, 2019, the board of directors of GasLog Partners approved and declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.55 per common unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The cash distribution is payable on August 9, 2019 to all unitholders of record as of August 5, 2019. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution will be $26,689 based on the number of units issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2019.

 

On July 24, 2019, the board of directors of GasLog Partners approved and declared a distribution on the Series A Preference Units of $0.5390625 per preference unit, a distribution on the Series B Preference Units of $0.5125 per preference unit and a distribution on the Series C Preference Units of $0.53125 per preference unit. The cash distributions are payable on September 16, 2019 to all unitholders of record as of September 9, 2019.

APPENDIX A

 

Supplemental Non-GAAP Partnership Performance Information and Reconciliation Tables

 

Our IFRS Common Control Reported Results are derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership. The non-GAAP Partnership Performance Results presented below exclude amounts related to GAS-fourteen Ltd., the owner of the GasLog Gibraltar, GAS-twenty seven Ltd., the owner of the Methane Becki Anne, and GAS-twelve Ltd., the owner of the GasLog Glasgow, for the periods prior to their transfers to the Partnership on April 26, 2018, November 14, 2018 and April 1, 2019, respectively. While such amounts are reflected in the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements because the transfers to the Partnership were accounted for as reorganizations of entities under common control under IFRS, the aforementioned entities were not owned by the Partnership prior to their respective transfers to the Partnership on April 26, 2018, November 14, 2018, and April 1, 2019, respectively, and, accordingly, the Partnership was not entitled to the cash or results generated in the periods prior to such transfers. The Partnership believes these measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors regarding the financial and operating performance of the Partnership which is necessary to understand the underlying basis for the calculations of the quarterly distribution and the earnings per unit, which similarly exclude the results of vessels acquired prior to their transfers to the Partnership.

 

Amounts reflected in the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2019 are fully attributable to the Partnership. The Partnership Performance Results reported in the second quarter of 2019 are the same as the IFRS Common Control Reported Results for the respective period since the acquisition of the GasLog Glasgow from GasLog was completed on April 1, 2019.

 

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