CEO Statement
Paolo Enoizi, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The entering
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with GasLog is a
transformative transaction for the Partnership that will enable its
unitholders to take advantage of a significant premium to the unit
trading price. Both the conflicts committee and the Partnership’s
board of directors have unanimously approved and determined the
transaction to be fair and in the best interests of the Partnership
and the common unitholders unaffiliated with GasLog. Subject to the
affirmative vote of the majority of the common unitholders, we
expect the transaction to close in the third quarter of this year.
We are excited to join GasLog and look forward to continuing to
build our business while maintaining our focus on operational
excellence and our strategy execution.
Overall, the term fixtures executed so far have enabled the
execution of our capital allocation strategy, helping us make
meaningful progress towards our leverage targets and strengthening
our balance sheet with the repurchase of $49.2 million in
preference units in the past year, or approximately $68.0 million
since inception of the repurchase plan in August 2021, which is
also improving the Partnership’s all-in break-even levels in our
fleet. The Partnership has capitalized on the strong LNG market
through profitable fixtures, exercised charterers’ options and sale
and lease-backs.”

There were 1,203 available days (2) for the quarter ended March
31, 2023, as compared to 1,350 available days (2) for the quarter
ended March 31, 2022. The quarter-over-quarter decrease is
attributable to the sale of the Methane Shirley Elisabeth in
September 2022 and the scheduled dry-docking of the GasLog Shanghai
in the first quarter of 2023.
Revenues were $99.1 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2023, compared to $85.5 million for the same period in 2022. The
increase of $13.6 million is mainly attributable to a net increase
in revenues from our vessels operating in the spot and short-term
markets in the first quarter of 2023, under time charters that were
executed in 2022. This net increase was partially offset by a
decrease in revenues due to the off-charter days of the scheduled
dry-docking of the GasLog Shanghai and also the sale of the Methane
Shirley Elisabeth in the third quarter of 2022.
Vessel operating costs were $15.9 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2023, compared to $18.6 million for the same period in
2022. The decrease of $2.7 million in vessel operating costs is
mainly attributable to a decrease of $1.5 million in crew costs,
largely related to cost savings in 2023 following the relaxation of
our COVID-19 enhanced protocols and a more favorable EUR/USD
exchange rate in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same
period in 2022. There was also a decrease of $0.7 million in
technical maintenance costs, mainly due to timing of the fleet
maintenance needs in the first quarter of 2023, compared to the
same period in 2022. As a result, daily operating costs per vessel
decreased from $14,741 per day for the quarter ended March 31,
2022, to $12,640 per day for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
General and administrative expenses were $5.6 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $4.7 million for the same
period in 2022. The increase of $0.9 million in general and
administrative expenses is mainly attributable to transaction costs
of $0.8 million incurred by the Partnership in the first quarter of
2023, mainly comprising legal and other professional fees in
connection with the evaluation of the terms of GasLog’s offer to
acquire all of the outstanding common units representing limited
partner interests of the Partnership not already beneficially owned
by GasLog. As a result, daily general and administrative expenses
increased from $3,472 per vessel ownership day for the quarter
ended March 31, 2022, to $4,482 per vessel ownership day for the
quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA (1) was $76.3 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2023, compared to $60.9 million for the same period in
2022. The increase of $15.4 million is mainly attributable to the
increase in revenues of $13.6 million and the decrease in vessel
operating costs of $2.7 million described above.
Financial costs were $17.4 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2023, compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2022. The
increase of $8.6 million in financial costs is mainly attributable
to an increase of $8.9 million in interest expense on loans,
primarily due to an increase in base interest rates (London
Interbank Offered Rate, “LIBOR”, and Secured Overnight Financing
Rate, “SOFR”) year-over-year. During the quarter ended March 31,
2023, we had an average of $872.4 million of bank borrowings
outstanding under our credit facilities with a weighted average
interest rate of 7.2%, compared to an average of $1,083.4 million
of bank borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities with a
weighted average interest rate of 2.5% during the quarter ended
March 31, 2022.
Loss on derivatives was $0.2 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2023, compared to a gain of $5.0 million for the same period in
2022. The decrease in gain of $5.2 million is attributable to a net
decrease of $7.6 million in unrealized gain from the mark-to-market
valuation of derivatives (interest rate swaps and forward foreign
exchange contracts) held for trading, which were carried at fair
value through profit or loss, mainly due to changes in the forward
yield curve, partially offset by a decrease of $2.4 million in
realized loss on derivatives held for trading.
Profit was $36.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023,
compared to $35.0 million for the same period in 2022. The increase
in profit of $1.4 million is mainly attributable to the increase in
revenues of $13.6 million and the decrease in vessel operating
costs of $2.7 million, partially offset by an increase of $8.6
million in financial costs and a decrease of $5.2 million in gain
on derivatives and an increase of $0.9 million in general and
administrative expenses, as described above.
Adjusted Profit (1) was $39.3 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2023, compared to $28.3 million for the same period in
2022. The increase in Adjusted Profit of $11.0 million is mainly
attributable to the increase in revenues of $13.6 million, a
decrease in operating costs of $2.7 million and an increase in
financial income of $2.3 million, partially offset by the increase
in interest expense on loans of $8.9 million discussed above.
As of March 31, 2023, we had $225.6 million of cash and cash
equivalents, of which $80.1 million was held in current accounts
and $145.5 million was held in time deposits with an original
duration of up to three months. An additional amount of $57.0
million of time deposits with an original duration of greater than
three months was classified under short-term cash deposits.
As of March 31, 2023, we had an aggregate of $805.6 million of
bank borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities, of which
$224.2 million was repayable within one year, and an aggregate of
$114.8 million of lease liabilities mainly related to the sale and
lease-backs of the GasLog Shanghai, the Methane Heather Sally and
the GasLog Sydney, of which $27.9 million was payable within one
year.
As of March 31, 2023, our current assets totaled $309.9 million
and current liabilities totaled $312.1 million, resulting in a
negative working capital position of $2.2 million. Current
liabilities include $25.9 million of unearned revenue in relation
to hires received in advance (which represents a non-cash liability
that will be recognized as revenues after March 31, 2023, as the
services are rendered). Current liabilities also include $156.2
million of current debt (net of fees) related to the loan facility
with Credit Suisse AG, Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Norge, Iyo Bank
Ltd., Singapore Branch and the Development Bank of Japan, Inc.,
which matures in February 2024.
- Adjusted Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPU are non-GAAP
financial measures and should not be used in isolation or as
substitutes for GasLog Partners’ financial results presented in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”). For the definitions and reconciliations of these measures
to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and
presented in accordance with IFRS, please refer to Exhibit II at
the end of this press release.
- Available days represent total calendar days in the period
after deducting off-hire days where vessels are undergoing
dry-dockings and unavailable days (for example, days before and
after a dry-docking where the vessel has limited practical ability
for chartering opportunities).
Merger Agreement with GasLog
On April 6, 2023, the Partnership entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GasLog and
subsidiaries of GasLog. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GasLog
will acquire the outstanding common units of the Partnership not
beneficially owned by GasLog for overall consideration of $8.65 per
common unit in cash, consisting in part of a special distribution
by the Partnership of $3.28 per common unit in cash that will be
distributed to the Partnership’s unitholders in connection with the
closing of the Transaction and the remainder to be paid by GasLog
as merger consideration at the closing of the Transaction.
The conflicts committee (the “Conflicts Committee”) of the
Partnership’s board of directors, comprised solely of independent
directors and advised by its own independent legal and financial
advisors, unanimously recommended that the Partnership’s board of
directors approve the Merger Agreement and determined that the
Transaction was in the best interests of the Partnership and the
holders of its common units unaffiliated with GasLog. Acting upon
the recommendation and approval of the Conflicts Committee, the
Partnership’s board of directors unanimously approved the Merger
Agreement and the Transaction and recommended that the common
unitholders of the Partnership vote in favor of the
Transaction.
The Transaction is expected to close by the end of the third
quarter of 2023, subject to approval of the Transaction by holders
of a majority of the common units of the Partnership and the
satisfaction of certain closing conditions. GasLog owns 30.2% of
the common units of the Partnership and has entered into a support
agreement with the Partnership committing to vote its common units
in favor of the Transaction. Upon closing of the Transaction, the
Partnership’s preference units will continue to trade on the New
York Stock Exchange.
Sale and Lease-Back of the GasLog Sydney
On March 30, 2023, GasLog Partners completed the sale and
lease-back of the GasLog Sydney, a 155,000 cubic meter (“cbm”) TFDE
LNG carrier, built in 2013, with CDBL. The vessel was sold and
leased back under a bareboat charter with CDBL for a period of five
years with no repurchase option or obligation, at a price of $140.0
million. The completion of the transaction resulted in the
recognition of an impairment loss of $0.1 million and a loss on
disposal of $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31,
2023.
LNG Market Update and
Outlook
Global LNG demand was estimated to be 103.5 million tonnes
(“mt”) in the first quarter of 2023, according to Wood Mackenzie,
Energy Research and Consultancy (“WoodMac”), compared to 103.7 mt
in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of approximately 0.2%. The
continuing disruption of Russian pipeline imports was outweighed by
mild weather in Europe, reduced consumption initiatives and lower
demand from Asia, especially from China as a result of continuing
lockdowns and fuel switching. This resulted in European inventories
reaching seasonal highs of 55.65% on March 31, 2023.
Global LNG supply was approximately 103.3 mt in the first
quarter of 2023, growing by 2.5 mt, or 2.4%, compared to the first
quarter of 2022, according to WoodMac. Over 2023, WoodMac estimates
LNG supply will rise by about 12.2 mt, or 3%, with the majority of
the increase coming from the United States (“U.S.”). During the
first quarter of 2023, an average of 75% of U.S. exports were
directed to Europe, a further increase from the 69% observed in
2022, according to Kpler Analytics.
Headline spot rates in the first quarter of 2023 for 160,000 cbm
TFDE vessels fell to an average of about $71,560 per day as per
weekly assessment by Clarksons Research Services Limited
(“Clarksons”), or about 78% lower compared to the average of the
fourth quarter of 2022 ($330,330 per day). This fall in rates is
mainly due to the seasonal downturn, high inventories, continuing
strong flows from the U.S. to Europe and bearish sentiments caused
by delays in the operation of Freeport and Calcasieu pass. This has
been compounded by increased availability of relets.
One-year time charter rates for TFDE LNG carriers averaged
$155,000 per day in the first quarter of 2023, about 18% lower than
rates in the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting the seasonal
downturn. One-year time charter rates for Steam LNG carriers
averaged $71,550 per day in the first quarter of 2023, 13% lower
than the fourth quarter of 2022.
As of March 31, 2023, Poten & Partners Group Inc. estimated
that the orderbook totaled 300 dedicated LNG carriers (>100,000
cbm) with deliveries between 2023 and 2028 representing 49.5% of
the on-the-water fleet. Of these, 264 vessels (or 88%) have
multi-year charters already contracted, leaving 36 vessels
uncommitted with deliveries clustered between 2023 and 2027.
Preference Unit
Distributions
On January 25, 2023, the board of directors of GasLog Partners
approved and declared a distribution on the 8.625% Series A
Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Fixed to Floating Rate Preference
Units (the “Series A Preference Units”) of $0.5390625 per
preference unit, a distribution on the 8.200% Series B Cumulative
Redeemable Perpetual Fixed to Floating Rate Preference Units (the
“Series B Preference Units”) of $0.5125 per preference unit and a
distribution on the 8.500% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual
Fixed to Floating Rate Preference Units (the “Series C Preference
Units”) of $0.53125 per preference unit. The cash distributions
were paid on March 15, 2023 to all unitholders of record as of
March 8, 2023.
Since March 15, 2023, the Series B Preference
Units are redeemable, wholly or partially, at our option, while
distributions have been accruing based on a floating rate equal to
three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 5.839% per annum. As a result,
the Series B distribution for the period from March 15, 2023 to
June 15, 2023 will be accrued based on an aggregate rate of 10.78%
on an annualized basis (or $0.67375 per preference unit for this
quarter) and will be reset every three months going forward.
Common Unit Distribution
On April 26, 2023, the board of directors of GasLog Partners
approved and declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.01 per
common unit for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The cash
distribution is payable on May 11, 2023 to all unitholders of
record as of May 8, 2023.
Preference Unit Repurchase Programme (“Repurchase
Programme”)
In the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no
repurchases of preference units, due to an extended blackout period
in relation to the Transaction.
Since inception of the Repurchase Programme and up to April 27,
2023, GasLog Partners has repurchased and cancelled 665,016 Series
A Preference Units, 1,103,618 Series B Preference Units and 938,955
Series C Preference Units at a weighted average price of $24.64,
$25.01 and $25.03 per preference unit for Series A, Series B and
Series C, respectively, for an aggregate amount of $67.6 million
including commissions.

EXHIBIT II
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
EBITDA is defined as earnings before financial income and costs,
gain/loss on derivatives, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before impairment loss on
vessels, gain/loss on disposal of vessels, restructuring costs and
Transaction costs. Adjusted Profit represents earnings before (a)
non-cash gain/loss on derivatives that includes unrealized
gain/loss on derivatives held for trading, (b) write-off and
accelerated amortization of unamortized loan fees, (c) impairment
loss on vessels, (d) gain/loss on disposal of vessels, (e)
restructuring costs and (f) Transaction costs. Adjusted EPU
represents Adjusted Profit (as defined above), after deducting
preference unit distributions and adding/deducting any difference
between the carrying amount of preference units and the fair value
of the consideration paid to settle them, divided by the weighted
average number of units outstanding during the period. EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU, which are
non-GAAP financial measures, are used as supplemental financial
measures by management and external users of financial statements,
such as investors, to assess our financial and operating
performance. The Partnership believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures assist our management and investors by increasing the
comparability of our performance from period to period. The
Partnership believes that including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU assists our management and
investors in (i) understanding and analyzing the results of our
operating and business performance, (ii) selecting between
investing in us and other investment alternatives and (iii)
monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in
assessing whether to purchase and/or to continue to hold our common
units. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the
potentially disparate effects between periods of, in the case of
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, financial costs, gain/loss on
derivatives, taxes, depreciation and amortization; in the case of
Adjusted EBITDA, impairment loss on vessels, gain/loss on disposal
of vessels, restructuring costs and Transaction costs and, in the
case of Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU, non-cash gain/loss on
derivatives, write-off and accelerated amortization of unamortized
loan fees, impairment loss on vessels, gain/loss on disposal of
vessels, restructuring costs and Transaction costs, which items are
affected by various and possibly changing financing methods,
financial market conditions, general shipping market conditions,
capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may
significantly affect results of operations between periods.
Restructuring costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
Profit and Adjusted EPU because restructuring costs represent
charges reflecting specific actions taken by management to improve
the Partnership’s future profitability and therefore are not
considered representative of the underlying operations of the
Partnership. Impairment loss is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU because impairment loss on vessels
represents the excess of their carrying amount over the amount that
is expected to be recovered from them in the future and therefore
is not considered representative of the underlying operations of
the Partnership. Gain/loss on disposal of vessels is excluded from
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU because gain/loss
on disposal of vessels represents the difference between the
carrying amount and the amount that was recovered through sale and
therefore is not considered representative of the underlying
operations of the Partnership. In the current period, Transaction
costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and
Adjusted EPU because they are charges and items not considered to
be reflective of the ongoing operations of the Partnership, which
we believe reduce the comparability of our operating and business
performance across periods.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU have
limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as
alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior to, profit,
profit from operations, earnings per unit or any other measure of
operating performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Some of
these limitations include the fact that they do not reflect (i) our
cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures
or contractual commitments, (ii) changes in, or cash requirements
for, our working capital needs and (iii) the cash requirements
necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt.
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the
assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be
replaced in the future and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not
reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU are not adjusted
for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our
statement of cash flows and other companies in our industry may
calculate these measures differently to how we do, limiting their
usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU exclude some, but not all, items
that affect profit or loss and these measures may vary among other
companies. Therefore, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and
Adjusted EPU as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies. The following tables reconcile
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU to
Profit, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for
the periods presented.
In evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and
Adjusted EPU you should be aware that in the future we may incur
expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments
in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU should not be construed as an
inference that our future results will be unaffected by the
excluded items.
