Highlights - 1Q23:
- Time charter earnings in Odfjell Tankers ended at USD 181 million, compared to USD 187 million in 4Q22
- EBIT of USD 68 million compared to USD 73 million in 4Q22
- Net result of USD 47 million, slightly lower than 4Q22. Net result adjusted for one-off items was USD 46 million compared to USD 50 million in 4Q22
- COA rate renewals were up 32% on average, covering 35% of estimated annual contract volume
- Net result contribution from Odfjell Terminals increased to USD 2 million compared to USD 0.2 million in 4Q22, primarily due to firmer activity level, higher tank lease rates and increased commercial occupancy rates
- During the quarter, Odfjell has taken delivery of one newbuilding on time charter, declared purchase options on two chartered-in vessels, and also signed two additional Japanese long term time charters
- The Board proposed to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) that 5 226 620 A-shares and 1 822 482 B-shares in the Company held in treasury by the Company should be deleted in the form of a share capital reduction
"The strong markets continued, and in the quarter we have renewed a significant share of our contract portfolio at terms reflecting current market conditions. We expect demand to remain stable in 2Q23. The spot market will likely remain volatile but at a healthy level, and together with improved COA rates, this should translate into TCE results in 2Q23 in line with or slightly above 1Q23."
CEO Harald Fotland
