General Maritime Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Financial Results
Declares Dividend of $0.125 per Share Relating to Q4 2009
Issues $300 Million Senior Notes and Pays Off Existing Arlington Facility
NEW YORK, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- General Maritime Corporation (NYSE: GMR) today reported its financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2009.
Financial Review: 2009 Fourth Quarter
Excluding a $40.9 million non-cash loss from certain one-off items related to an impairment charge to goodwill and the non-cash portion of other income, the Company recorded net loss of $12.0 million or $0.22 basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Excluding the non-cash portion of other income and certain one time items as described below, the Company recorded net income of $17.6 million or $0.43 basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2008. These one-time items in 2008 included non-cash other income of $4.5 million and additional general and administrative expenses of $33.7 million in compensation accruals in connection with the Company's executive transition plan as well as litigation costs relating to the Genmar Defiance. Please see below for a reconciliation of these items to net income.
Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $52.9 million or $0.96 basic and diluted loss per share, compared with a net loss of $11.5 million or $0.28 basic and diluted loss per share for the prior year period.
John P. Tavlarios, President of General Maritime Corporation, commented, "During 2009, General Maritime's focus on effectively managing its assets through the tanker cycle and capitalizing on its significant contract coverage enabled the Company to maintain profitability despite one of the most challenging rate environments in recent years. In the fourth quarter and year-to-date 2010, we continued to act opportunistically to secure vessels on favorable long-term charters and are pleased that a number of these contracts include profit sharing agreements. Importantly, our time charter coverage for 2010 provides shareholders with both a contracted revenue stream and the ability to benefit from future increases in tanker rates."
Net voyage revenue, which is gross voyage revenues minus voyage expenses unique to a specific voyage (including port, canal and fuel costs), decreased 17.2% to $60.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $72.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Voyage revenue for the fourth quarter 2009 includes an accelerated amortization of the net time charter liability of $2.7 million related to four Stena chartered vessels for which options to extend time charters were not exercised and which were therefore redelivered to the Company earlier than anticipated.
Excluding the goodwill impairment and non-cash other income described above from 2009, and the one off items from 2008 described above, EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $23.8 million compared to $42.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Please see below for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income. Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $25.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
The average daily time charter equivalent, or TCE, rates obtained by the Company's fleet decreased by 33.1% to $22,683 per day for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared with $33,909 for the prior year period. This decrease in TCE rates for Q4 2009 was partially offset by the increase in voyage revenue due to the accelerated amortization of the net time charter liability related to four vessels. The Company's average daily rates for vessels on spot charters decreased by 61.9% to $11,850 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $31,132 for the prior year period.
Excluding the compensation accruals and litigation costs described above from 2008, total vessel operating expenses increased 25.4% to $35.9 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, from $28.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. This is due to an increase in the average size of the fleet from 23.5 vessels for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 to 31.0 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. Daily direct vessel operating expenses increased 17.7% to $9,261 per day for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to $7,871 per day for the prior year period. This increase is primarily due to increases in crewing and repair and maintenance costs. Additionally, there was an increase in direct vessel expenses for the two VLCCs relating to the one time costs associated with the transition from fixed rate management agreements to market rate contracts.
General and administrative costs, excluding the compensation accruals and litigation costs described above from 2008, decreased by 20.2% to $9.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to $11.9 million for the prior year's quarter.
Financial Review: Full Year 2009
Excluding goodwill impairment and non-cash other income described above from 2009, net income was $30.0 million or $0.55 basic and $0.54 diluted earnings per share, for the full year ended December 31, 2009. Excluding compensation accruals, other income and litigation costs described above from 2008, net income was $63.1 million or $1.60 basic and $1.56 diluted earnings per share for the full year ended December 31, 2008.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $12.0 million or $0.22 basic and diluted loss per share, compared with a net income of $29.8 million or $0.76 basic and $0.73 diluted earnings per share, for the prior year.
Net voyage revenues increased 7.4% to $291.6 million for the full year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $271.7 million for the full year ended December 31, 2008. This increase includes the accelerated amortization of the net time charter liability related to four vessels of $16.4 for the full year ending December 31, 2009. Excluding goodwill impairment as well as non-cash other income described above from 2009, EBITDA was $155.3 million for the full year ended December 31, 2009. Excluding the one time items described above for 2008, EBITDA was $149.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $47.5 million for the full year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $114.4 million for the prior year period. TCE rates obtained by the Company's fleet decreased 23.9% to $27,305 per day for the full year ended December 31, 2009 from $35,896 for the prior year period.
Daily direct vessel operating expenses rose 4.7% to $8,447 for the full year ended December 31, 2009 from $8,064 for the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to higher repair costs associated with certain Aframax vessels as well as increase in insurance costs during the year and the transition from fixed rate management agreements to market rate contracts on four of our vessles.
General and administrative costs decreased 49.8% to $40.3 million for the full year ended December 31, 2009, from $80.3 million for the prior year period. As described above, this decrease was primarily due to a decrease in compensation accruals and a cash bonus related to the executive transition plans from the prior year as well as litigation costs relating to the Genmar Defiance. Excluding the compensation accruals and litigation costs described above, general and administrative costs decreased 13.5% from $46.6 million for the year ending December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to ceasing the operation of the corporate aircraft as well as a reduction in headcount during the year ended December 31, 2009.
As of December 31, 2009, we had $52.7 million of cash, and our total debt outstanding was $1,018.6 million.

(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted
our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of
days each vessel was part of our fleet during the period divided by the
number of calendar days in that period
(2) Voyage days for fleet are the total days our vessels were in our
possession for the relevant period net of off hire days associated with
major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
(3) Calendar days are the total days the vessels were in our possession
for the relevant period including off hire days associated with major
repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
(4) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were
available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by
dividing voyage days by calendar days for the relevant period.
(5) Time Charter Equivalent, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily
revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of
calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by
dividing net voyage revenue by voyage days. Net voyage revenues are
voyage revenues minus voyage expenses. The Company evaluates performance
using net voyage revenues. The Company believes that presenting voyage
revenues, net of voyage expenses, neutralizes the variability created by
unique costs associated with particular voyages or deployment of vessels
on time charter or on the spot market and presents a more accurate
representation of the revenues generated by its vessels.
(6) Daily direct vessel operating expenses, or DVOE, is calculated by
dividing DVOE, which includes crew costs, provisions, deck and engine
stores, lubricating oil, insurance and maintenance and repairs, by
calendar days for the relevant time period.
(7) Daily general and administrative expense is calculated by dividing
general and administrative expenses by vessel calendar days.
(8) Total Vessel Operating Expenses, or TVOE, is a measurement of our
total expenses associated with operating our vessels. Daily TVOE is the
sum of daily direct vessel operating expenses, or DVOE, and daily general
and administrative expenses.

Senior Notes Offering and 2005 Credit Facility Amendment
On November 12, 2009, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries issued $300 million of 12% Senior Notes due 2017. The notes are non-amortizing senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The notes are non-callable for four years from original issuance. Proceeds from the offering were used to fully prepay the RBS Facility for $229.5 in accordance with its terms and for general corporate purposes.
On October 27, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment with the lenders under its 2005 Credit Facility. Pursuant to this amendment, the 2005 Credit Facility was amended to, among other things:
- Reduce the commitment under the 2005 credit facility to $749.8 million, the result of which is that the next scheduled reduction in total commitment will be April 26, 2011.
- Amend the Net Debt to EBITDA maintenance covenant to increase the permitted ratio to 6.5:1.0 to and including September 30, 2010, to 6.0:1.0 from December 31, 2010 until September 30, 2011 and to 5.5:1.0 thereafter.
- Permit the Company's dividends to be an amount not to exceed $0.125 per quarter.
- Increase the applicable interest rate margin over LIBOR to 250 basis points from 100 basis points and the commitment fee, which is 35% of the applicable margin, to 87.5 basis points from 35 basis points.
- Permit subsidiary guarantees for the unsecured Senior Notes.
Q4 2009 Dividend Announcement
On February 23, 2010 the Company's Board of Directors declared a Q4 2009 quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share payable on or about March 26, 2010 to shareholders of record as of March 12, 2010. Under the Company's dividend policy, the Company intends to declare quarterly dividends with a target amount of $0.125 per share.
Given the current market, the Company's Board gave particular consideration to continued payment of the Company's $0.125 per share target dividend for the fourth quarter of 2009. The Board determined to pay the target dividend based on the Company's cash flow for the quarter. In making future dividend decisions, the Board will review such factors as market conditions, the Company's upcoming cash needs and potential opportunities which may arise given the current market.
Jeffrey D. Pribor, Chief Financial Officer of General Maritime Corporation, commented, "General Maritime continued to act proactively to preserve the Company's financial strength and flexibility throughout 2009. Specifically, the Company completed a $300 million senior unsecured notes offering, amended its 2005 credit facility and paid down the $229 million facility, which enabled the Company to meet important objectives without diluting shareholders. As we progress through 2010, General Maritime is in a position to continue to seek accretive acquisitions for shareholders while distributing dividends consistent with its $0.50 per share annual target for the year".

This press release contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and observations. Included among the factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this press release are the following: loss or reduction in business from our significant customers; the failure of our significant customers to perform their obligations owed to us; changes in demand; material decline in rates in the tanker market; changes in production of or demand for oil and petroleum products, generally or in particular regions; greater than anticipated levels of tanker new building orders or lower than anticipated rates of tanker scrapping; changes in rules and regulations applicable to the tanker industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international organizations such as the International Maritime Organization and the European Union or by individual countries; actions taken by regulatory authorities; actions by the courts, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Department of Justice or other governmental authorities and the results of the legal proceedings to which we or any of our vessels may be subject; changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall tanker tonnage requirements; changes in the typical seasonal variations in tanker charter rates; changes in the cost of other modes of oil transportation; changes in oil transportation technology; increases in costs including without limitation: crew wages, insurance, provisions, repairs and maintenance; changes in general domestic and international political conditions; changes in the condition of our vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, the company's anticipated drydocking or maintenance and repair costs); changes in the itineraries of our vessels; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates affecting our expenses; and other factors listed from time to time in the our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and our subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. The Company's ability to pay dividends in any period will depend upon factors including applicable provisions of Marshall Islands law and the final determination by the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of the Company's financial performance.
