Oslo, 20 October 2021 – MPC Container Ships ASA ("MPCC" or the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is pleased to announce the following measures that will increase the Company’s balance sheet flexibility in order to execute on the Group’s plan to commence returning capital to investors. These changes are consistent with the Company’s guidance in previous quarters: New bank facility of USD 180 million with HCOB at LIBOR + 335 bps More than 30 unencumbered vessels post-closing Sale of six vessels between 1,000 and 1,500 TEU agreed for in total USD 135 million Seven additional multi-year charter fixtures concluded in historically strong charter market EBITDA backlog from 1 July 2021 onwards currently above USD 700 million New credit facility The Company has agreed a USD 180 million five-year senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) with Hamburg Commercial Bank (“HCOB”) at attractive terms. The Facility consists of a USD 130 million term loan and a revolving credit facility of USD 50 million. Constantin Baack, Chief Executive Officer of MPC Container Ships ASA commented: “We have executed on various measures in order to become a low leverage and high dividend paying stock. The new financing with HCOB constitutes another important step of optimizing the balance sheet structure, reducing our cost of debt and extending debt maturities into 2026. In addition, it creates high flexibility and optionality based on more than 30 unencumbered vessels following the refinancing. We appreciate the agility, professionalism and support by HCOB in arranging the Facility, which puts MPCC in a unique position to fulfil corporate goals.” Sale of vessels In order to optimize the fleet composition take advantage of historically high container ship asset prices, the Group has agreed to sell six smaller vessels with an average size of 1,200 TEU for a total of USD 135 million, which implies a significant premium to the current MPCC share price. MPCC's total fleet will consist of 68 vessels once the six vessels have been handed over to their new owners. During Q4 2021, the Company intends to use the Facility, together with parts of the proceeds from the agreed vessel sales to refinance the existing DNB acquisition financing, as well as the outstanding USD 204 million bond financing. As a consequence, the previous acquisition financing with DNB and the outstanding senior secured bonds will be repaid in full and a significant number of vessels owned by the Company will subsequently be unencumbered. Well positioned to return capital to shareholders “Following our strategy of prudent and rational capital allocation, these measures are important steps for MPCC to transition from a growth phase to a very strong value proposition of significant cash generation, good earnings visibility with strong dividend capacity and a low risk profile. We are very pleased that the Company is now well positioned to return capital to its shareholders”, CEO Constantin Baack added. Subsequent to the Q2 reporting on 19 August, the Company has fixed an additional seven vessels with long periods and attractive rates. The EBITDA backlog has subsequently increased to above USD 700 million, demonstrating a continuously strong charter market. Once executed, the new financing structure of the Group will allow for high flexibility in capital allocation and a solid foundation for implementing a sustainable dividend policy. Following the sequencing of repayment and successful handover of the sold vessels in Q4 2021, the Company expects to enter a new era of returning capital to shareholders as of Q1 2022 by distributing up to 75% of net profit by way of dividends and/or share buybacks.

Mal schauen wo die Reise hingeht

Warte noch....

Jetzt sind das Einstiegs Kurse schnell zugreifen

Zur Finanzierung der Übernahme von Songa werden neue Aktien ausgegeben. Weißt jemand, ob das schon passiert ist und ob der Kurs dadurch verwässert wird?

Was denn hier heute los? Minus 13% .. weiß jemand was? Finde online nichts.

Ok, danke, jetzt weiß ich was du meinst. Auf z. B. Onvista sieht man diesen Verlauf nicht. Ich bin suf baha und auch dort sieht man nix. Hätte aber besser recherchieren sollen...

Starke Zahlen ja, hervorragende Aussichten, aber die Zahlen sind nicht besser als erwartet / erhofft. Wird wohl erst langsam bergauf gehen?

MPC Container Ships ASA ("MPCC" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries the "Group") today published its unaudited financial report for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021. Total revenues of USD 68.8 million in Q2 2021 (Q1 2021: USD 54.9 million). EBITDA of USD 31.9 million in Q2 2021 (Q1 2021: USD 22.3 million). Net profit of USD 12.0 million in Q2 2021 (Q1 2021: USD 3.5 million). Utilization of 96.9% in Q2 2021 (Q1 2021: 99.2%). Average time charter equivalent ("TCE") of USD 13,437 per day in Q2 2021 (Q1 2021: USD 10,502 per day). Cash and cash equivalents of USD 46.3 million as at 30 June 2021. Equity ratio of 58.8% and leverage ratio of 37.7%. As at 30 June 2021, the Group owns and operates 64 container vessels, whereof 56 are fully owned and 8 are operated in a joint venture. The Company revises its guidance for FY 2021, with expected revenues in the range of USD 320-325 million and expected EBITDA in the range of USD 210-215 million. The guidance is subject to certain assumptions, including the sale of one of the Company’s 2,800 TEU container vessels being successfully finalized and executed. CEO Constantin Baack comments in relation to the announcement: “The positive momentum in the container market is strengthening, supported by very strong fundamentals resulting in a further tightening of the availability of assets. Due to the upward trend in global trade and growing inefficiencies in the logistical chains there are no indications whatsoever of a weakening market before at least well into 2022. In these market conditions the Company has completed a total of 42 fixtures in 2021 and expanded the fleet with additional 11 vessels, locking in favourable rates and consequently improving the EBITDA backlog to a total of more than USD 500 million. The visibility for 2021 is vastly improved, allowing the Company to revise the FY 2021 guidance. Continuing to adhere to the moderate leverage strategy, we will continue to optimize our financial structure to achieve a more optimal balance sheet. Following that, the Company is well positioned to pay dividends in 2022.”
