Key Highlights (Source: Company Reports)

Balance Sheet Highlights: The company exited the quarter with a total cash balance of $137.7 million, with net debt amounting to $581.5 million. Net cash flow operations for the quarter came in at $186.6 million, up from cash inflow of $47.6 million in the year-ago period. Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter stood at $9.7 million, whereas net cash used in financing activities came in at $115 million.

Key Developments: The company entered into a two-year time-charter agreement in June 2020, with an option to extend at $41,800 per day. Further, in 2QFY20, the company prepaid $59.2 million under the ABN Amro Credit Facility and the Nordea Credit Facility. The voluntary advances were made for all regular installments for 2021. Further, the dividend is a good way of returning cash to investors while at the same time providing a boost to the bottom-line.

Key Risks: Coronavirus-generated delays in discharging cargoes at ports following the decreased consumption of refined oil products are likely to weigh on the company’s performance in the days ahead. Further, any increase in expenditure total, mainly owing to accrual for social security tax, might weigh on bottom-line growth. Also, the virus outbreak has impacted global consumption of refined oil products imposing a build-up of shore-based inventories of both feedstock and end products, resulting in bottlenecks and delays to discharge cargoes in ports.
