Ole B. Hjertaker, CEO of Ship Finance Management AS, said in a comment: “In light of the pending financial restructuring in Seadrill and also a softer tanker market, the Board has adjusted the dividend to $0.35 per share this quarter. We believe this is a prudent action that resets our dividend to a more sustainable level going forward. Today’s declaration brings total accumulated dividends to more than $23 per share since 2004 and we have a large, diversified fleet of 70 vessels and rigs in operation, a significant charter backlog, and remain in a very strong financial position.”

Dividends and Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2017
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share. The dividend will be paid on or around September 29 to shareholders on record as of September 15, and the ex-dividend date on the New York Stock Exchange will be September 14, 2017.


1.
Long term charter revenues include total gross charter hire related to contracts undertaken for a period greater than one year from all vessels and rigs, including assets in 100% owned subsidiaries classified as ‘Investment in associates’.
2.
Includes gross hires from short term charters, voyage charters, gross revenue earned from pooled vessels and profit share income.
3.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non- GAAP measure and includes assets in 100% owned subsidiaries classified as 'Investment in associates'. For more details please see Appendix 1.
4.
Based on a USD-NOK rate of approximately 8.33.


The Company reported total U.S. GAAP operating revenues on a consolidated basis of $94.2 million, or $1.01 per share, in the second quarter of 2017. This number excludes $8.7 million of charter revenues classified as ‘repayment of investment in finance leases’ and $47 million of charter revenues earned by 100% owned assets classified as ‘investment in associate’. Inclusive of those revenues, the total charter revenues were $150 million, or $1.61 per share.
Reported net operating income pursuant to U.S. GAAP for the quarter was $38.7 million, or $0.41 per share, and reported net income was $20.1 million, or $0.22 per share. This is after non-cash amortization of deferred charges of $2.3 million and a $5.7 million negative impact arising from mark-to-market valuation of hedging instruments. Adjusted for these two items, the result was $28.1 million, or $0.30 per share.

Business Update
As of June 30, 2017, and adjusted for subsequent sales, the fixed rate charter backlog from the Company’s fleet of 70 vessels and rigs was approximately $3.4 billion, with an average remaining charter term of nearly 5 years, or more than 8 years if weighted by charter revenue. Some of the charters include purchase options which, if exercised, may reduce the fixed rate charter backlog and the average remaining charter term, but will increase capital available for new investments. Additionally, several charters include a profit sharing feature that may increase our operating results.
Tankers
The Company owns 15 crude oil, product and chemical tanker vessels, of which 13 vessels are employed on long term charters.
The crude oil tanker market has remained at soft levels during the second quarter, and thus far into the third quarter. In the second quarter, the vessels chartered to Frontline Shipping Limited (“Frontline”) earned average daily rates below the base charter rates, and no profit share was earned.
The average daily time charter rate of the Company’s two modern Suezmax tankers trading in a pool with two sister vessels owned by Frontline Ltd. was approximately $26,900 during the second quarter, down from $28,100 per day in the previous quarter. Three of the four vessels in the pool have been chartered out until late 2017 with a profit share above a floor rate, mitigating an expected soft spot market for the second half of 2017.
In May and June 2017, Ship Finance delivered the 1998-built Suezmax tanker Front Brabant and the 2000-built VLCC Front Scilla to their new owners. The combined net proceeds from the sale of the vessels was approximately $39 million, including compensation from Frontline for the early termination of the charters. Ship Finance recorded a book loss of $2.7 million as a result of the two sales.
The Company also agreed to sell the 1997-built Suezmax tanker Front Ardenne to an unrelated third party, and the vessel was delivered to its new owner in the third quarter. The agreed net sale price was $12 million, including compensation for the early termination of the charter. Ship Finance expects a minor book gain from the sale, which will be recorded in the third quarter. Following this sale, Ship Finance has nine crude oil tankers remaining on charter to Frontline, all of which are VLCCs.
Ship Finance took delivery of two 114,000 dwt LR2 newbuilding product tankers in August 2017. Both vessels commenced their respective seven year time charters to Phillips 66 immediately upon delivery, with options for the charterer to extend the period up to 12 years. The total EBITDA contribution from these two vessels is estimated to be approximately $11 million per year.
Offshore
Ship Finance owns five offshore support vessels and four drilling rigs. All units are employed on medium and long term charters.
The Company’s drilling rigs generated approximately $47 million in aggregate charter revenues in the second quarter of 2017. Three of the four rigs are chartered out on bareboat charters to fully guaranteed affiliates of Seadrill Limited (“Seadrill”), where Seadrill is responsible for operating and maintenance costs.

5



The jack-up rig West Linus is sub-chartered to ConocoPhillips, and in April 2017, Seadrill announced the extension of the sub-charter until the end of 2028. There will be a market adjusted rate from 2019 onwards, and Seadrill indicated an expected net contract backlog increase of approximately $650 million for the rig.
In June, Seadrill announced that the semi-submersible rig West Hercules, which has been idle for a while, has been awarded a short term contract with Siccar Point Energy. The contract is expected to commence in April 2018. The semi-submercible rig West Taurus is currently idle in Spain.
Seadrill is in the midst of negotiating a comprehensive restructuring plan and has announced that they are in advanced discussions with various creditors and certain third party and related party investors and their secured lenders on a recapitalization of the company. Seadrill has informed the market that such restructuring will most likely involve Chapter 11 proceedings in the U.S, on or before September 12, 2017.
Ship Finance has engaged in constructive talks with Seadrill as we believe it will be in all parties' interest to take a proactive approach in order to find a sustainable long term arrangement. This also includes discussions with the banks that are financing the three rigs in order to find a balanced solution. So far, Seadrill has continued to perform on its charter obligations to us, and net of interest and debt amortization, the contribution from the Seadrill charters was approximately $14.6 million, or $0.16 per share in the second quarter.
In the second quarter, Ship Finance agreed to bareboat charter out the 2007-built drilling rig Soehanah, and the rig is now employed under a drilling contract with a national oil company in Asia. The initial charter period is 12 months from June 2017, with an option to extend the charter by an additional 12 months. The rig is debt free, and net EBITDA contribution from the new charter is expected to be nearly $4 million during the fixed charter period.
Liner
Ship Finance has a fleet of 22 container vessels and two car carriers. With the exception of one smaller 1,700 TEU container vessel, all container vessels are employed on long term charters, and we now have full cash flow effect from the two 19,200 TEU container vessels on 15-year charters to MSC.
We have recently agreed to extend the charters for our two car carriers, Glovis Conductor and Glovis Composer, until mid 2018. The base charter rate for the extension is lower than the current level, and the charters include a repositioning period from Europe to Asia. Given the balance in the car carrier market, with very few vessels under construction, our preference has been to charter out the vessels for a shorter period at this stage.
Dry Bulk
The Company owns 22 dry bulk vessels, 15 of which are employed on long term charters and seven of which trade in the spot market.
The Company has the potential to generate additional revenues through its charter agreements with Golden Ocean Group Limited for its eight Capesize vessels which provide the Company with a profit share above the contracted base charter rates. In the second quarter, the achieved market rates were below the profit share threshold, although market rates have improved lately.
Our dry bulk vessels trading in the spot market are Handysize vessels between 32,000 and 34,000 dwt. These vessels earned average time charter equivalent rates of approximately $7,000 per trading day in the second quarter. The Company intends to continue trading these vessels in the spot market until long term rates improve.
Financing and Capital Expenditure
As of June 30, 2017, Ship Finance had approximately $278 million of available liquidity, including $249 million in cash and approximately $29 million freely available under revolving credit facilities.
In addition, the Company had restricted cash in connection with a guarantee of $9 million, and marketable securities of approximately $111 million, based on prevailing market prices at quarter end. This includes 11 million shares in Frontline and financial investments in senior secured bonds and other securities.

6



In June, Ship Finance successfully placed a senior unsecured bond in the Scandinavian credit market with an interest rate of NIBOR + 4.75% p.a. and maturity in June 2020. The principal amount of the notes is NOK 500 million, or the equivalent of approximately $60 million, and the Company has swapped all payments to USD with a fixed interest rate of 6.91% p.a.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had remaining capital expenditure commitments of approximately $65 million related to the two 114,000 dwt LR2 product tankers, which have now been delivered to us. The acquisition of the vessels has initially been funded from our available liquidity, but we have now secured a $76 million long term bank financing for the vessels, which is more than the final payments made to the yard at the delivery of the vessels.

Strategy and Outlook
Management is committed to continuing the conservative profile of the Company which encompasses a strategy of chartering out the majority of our assets on long term charters to reputable operators in the shipping and offshore markets. Our diversified and extensive charter portfolio provides the Company with a strong business platform, irrespective of the outcome of Seadrill’s restructuring, and the recent successful transactions in the debt and bond markets are indicative of Ship Finance’s position in these markets.
The Company is well positioned for further growth and we expect to develop new attractive opportunities going forward. We believe the combination of a challenging banking market for many players and low asset prices will create significant opportunities for Ship Finance in finding investment opportunities with limited downside on asset values. In this market environment, we are also prepared to take on more asset exposure in order to secure upside from potential appreciation in asset values.


Accounting Items
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), subsidiaries owning the drilling units West Hercules, West Taurus and West Linus have been accounted for as ‘investment in associate’ using the ‘equity method’.
All these equity accounted subsidiaries are wholly owned by Ship Finance, but due to the conservative structure of the leases, Ship Finance has not been deemed ‘primary beneficiary’ according to U.S. GAAP. As a result of the accounting treatment, operating revenues, operating expenses and net interest expenses in these subsidiaries are not shown in Ship Finance’s consolidated income statement. Instead, the net contribution from these subsidiaries is recognized as a combination of ‘Interest income from associates and long term investments’ and ‘Results in associate’.
In Ship Finance’s consolidated balance sheet, the net investments are shown as a combination of ‘Investment in associate’ and ‘Amount due from related parties - Long term’. The reason for this treatment is that a part of the investment in these subsidiaries is in the form of intercompany loans. For a further detailed explanation of these features, please consult our ‘Accounting Items’ presentation available as webcast at our website at www.shipfinance.bm.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward looking statements. These statements are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including Ship Finance management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although Ship Finance believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control, Ship Finance cannot give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or intentions.
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements include the strength of world economies, fluctuations in currencies and interest rates, general market conditions including fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the markets in which we operate, changes in demand resulting from changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, developments regarding the technologies relating to oil exploration, changes in market demand in countries which import commodities and finished goods and changes in the amount and location of the production of those commodities and finished goods, increased inspection procedures and more restrictive import and export controls, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry docking and insurance costs, performance of our charterers and other counterparties with whom we deal, timely delivery of vessels under construction within the contracted price, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
