GasLog Ltd. Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2014

GasLog Ltd. and its subsidiaries ("GasLog” or "Group” or "Company”) (NYSE:GLOG), an international owner, operator and manager of liquefied natural gas ("LNG”) carriers, today reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

Highlights

⁽¹⁾ Contracted revenue calculations assume: (a) 365 revenue days per annum, with 30 off-hire days when the ship undergoes scheduled drydocking; (b) the two LNG carriers agreed to be acquired are delivered on schedule; and (c) no charterers’ exercise of any option to extend the terms of charters.

⁽²⁾ EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures, and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for GasLog’s financial results presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS”). For definitions and reconciliations of these measurements to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, please refer to Exhibit II of this press release.

⁽³⁾ Future acquisitions of vessels are subject to various risks and uncertainties that include, but are not limited to, general LNG and LNG shipping market conditions and trends; our ability to enter into shipbuilding contracts for newbuildings and our expectations about the availability of existing LNG carriers to purchase, as well as our ability to consummate any such acquisitions; our future financial condition and liquidity; our ability to obtain financing to fund acquisitions, banks’ ability to fund their financial commitments; and our ability to meet our obligations under our credit facilities.

CEO Statement

Paul Wogan, Chief Executive Officer, stated "We continued to execute well on our business plan in what proved to be an active fourth quarter for GasLog. We launched the ‘GasLog 40:17’ Vision at our Capital Markets Day in December, which sets out our ambition to increase the consolidated fleet to 40 vessels by the end of 2017. Through adding vessels with attractive, long-term contracts with strong counterparties, our aim is to continue to add to our $3.2 billion⁽¹⁾ of contracted revenue.

The fourth quarter saw a fall in the oil price which negatively impacted the global energy sector. However, even against this volatile backdrop, we immediately made progress in realizing this ‘GasLog 40:17” Vision by contracting to acquire two 170,000 cbm tri-fuel diesel electric ("TFDE”) vessels from a subsidiary of BG Group with average charters of 10 years. This transaction, announced on December 22, 2014, is expected to close by the end of March 2015 and will increase the consolidated fleet to 27.25 vessels. We look forward to continuing this progress in 2015.

2014 was a transformational year for GasLog that saw the Company executing significant fleet growth through a combination of newbuilding orders and acquisitions. We also broadened our access to the capital markets through two GasLog equity raises, the GasLog Partners initial public offering ("IPO”) and a further NOK bond issue. We expect that even in the prevailing lower oil-price environment, 2015 will see significant new LNG liquefaction projects coming online and GasLog will continue to use its operational and financial platform to take advantage of further attractive opportunities in the market.”

⁽¹⁾Includes the two vessel acquisition announced on December 22, 2014, which is expected to close by the end of March 2015.

Dividend Declaration

On February 26, 2015, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share payable on March 13, 2015 to shareholders of record as of March 10, 2015.

Pending Vessels Acquisition

On December 22, 2014, GasLog entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of BG Group to acquire two LNG carriers, the Methane Becki Anne and the Methane Julia Louise, for a purchase price of $460.0 million (the "Pending Vessels Acquisition”). The vessels will be chartered back to the same subsidiary of BG Group for periods of nine and eleven years with further options for the charterer to extend the term of the time charter for each vessel by either three or five years. GasLog supervised the construction of the vessels and has technically managed both vessels since their delivery to a subsidiary of BG Group in 2010. They have TFDE propulsion and on-board reliquefaction plants, which enable the vessels to operate on gas at a wider range of speeds more efficiently. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the completion of definitive documentation. GasLog expects the transaction to close in the end of March 2015. Under the omnibus agreement with GasLog Partners, we will be required, within 30 days following the closing of the Pending Vessels Acquisition, to offer GasLog Partners the opportunity to purchase the vessels at the acquisition cost plus certain administrative costs. Under that provision, GasLog Partners would be required to accept or reject our offer within an additional 30 days. We and GasLog Partners are discussing possible alternative arrangements under which GasLog Partners may have a significantly longer period to elect to acquire the vessels at fair market value. There can be no assurance that we and GasLog Partners will agree to any such alternative arrangements or that GasLog Partners will ultimately acquire the vessels.

Increase in GasLog Partners’ Distribution

On January 28, 2015, the Board of Directors of GasLog Partners approved a quarterly distribution of $0.4345, an increase of approximately 16% above the existing minimum quarterly distribution. This increase in distribution exceeds the first IDR threshold, resulting in higher quarterly distributions to GasLog by $0.6 million.

Delivery of GasLog Saratoga

On December 16, 2014, GasLog took delivery of the GasLog Saratoga, an LNG carrier of 155,000 cubic meters capacity with TFDE propulsion constructed by Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. The vessel was immediately put on a short-term contract with a subsidiary of BG Group.

Financing Update

On October 23, 2014, GasLog received a waiver letter from DNB Bank ASA, acting as agent of the loan facility of GAS-eight Ltd., GAS-nine Ltd. and GAS-ten Ltd., relating to the fact that GAS-nine Ltd. and GAS-ten Ltd. had not secured relevant long-term charter parties as required by the loan facility. The waiver permits the drawdown of the relevant tranches notwithstanding that the vessels do not have long-term charter arrangements. Subsequent to the waiver letter, on December 2, 2014, a supplemental deed was signed with the lenders that, among other amendments to the principal agreement, required that an aggregate amount of $21.0 million per vessel be maintained in blocked accounts until the time that an acceptable charter party agreement has been entered into after the delivery date of the respective vessels. As of December 31, 2014, the GAS-nine Ltd. advance has been drawn and the $21.0 million related to GAS-nine Ltd. has been deposited in a blocked account which is presented under restricted cash.

On November 12, 2014, GasLog Partners entered into a loan agreement with Citibank N.A. London Branch for a credit facility of up to $450.0 million for the purpose of refinancing in full GasLog Partners’ outstanding debt facilities. The refinancing replaced all of GasLog Partners’ existing facilities, simplified GasLog Partners’ funding arrangements with a single facility, extended maturity to 2019 and extended the amortization period of the debt to better match the useful life of GasLog Partners’ assets.

On November 12, 2014, in connection with the aforementioned refinancing, GasLog Partners terminated its existing swap agreements having a notional amount of $214.7 million by paying their fair value on that date of $2.6 million plus accrued interest of $0.4 million.

On November 14, 2014, GasLog signed an amendment to its NOK bond agreement to revise the covenants to reflect GasLog’s growth and the anticipated growth of GasLog Partners. Under the amended agreement, (a) GasLog is permitted to make distributions (including any authorized share buybacks) up to an aggregate maximum per share for the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 of $0.70/share, $1.00/share, $1.10/share, $1.20/share and $1.30/share, respectively, provided that total indebtedness divided by total capitalization (giving pro forma effect for the distribution) does not exceed 67.5%, the ratio of EBITDA over debt service obligations on a trailing 12 months’ basis is no less than 115.0% and no event of default would result from such distribution, (b) the amount of debt or committed debt availability that GasLog provides to GasLog Partners cannot exceed $75.0 million, and (c) GasLog agreed to pay a one-time fee of 1.0% of the face value of the Bond.

In December 2014, GasLog obtained commitments from DNB Bank ASA for a $325.0 million secured credit facility and a $135.0 million subordinated two-year loan facility at rates in line with recent GasLog financings in order to finance the Pending Vessels Acquisition.

Financial Summary

There were 638 and 1,808 operating days for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to 1,356 and 4,392 operating days for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. The increase in operating days resulted from the new vessel deliveries and on-the-water vessel acquisitions over the period.

Profit was $9.9 million and $50.8 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($21.4 million and $56.9 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively). The decrease in Profit was affected by the non-cash write-off of unamortized loan fees of $5.8 million and $9.0 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, related to the refinancing of the GasLog Partners’ loan facilities, as well as an increase of non-cash loss on swaps by $12.8 million and $31.7 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

Adjusted Profit⁽¹⁾ was $24.0 million and $73.9 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($17.4 million and $39.7 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively). The increase in Adjusted Profit was mainly attributable to the significant growth in our fleet in 2014.

EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $68.1 million and $217.6 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($39.9 million and $102.2 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively). The increase in EBITDA was attributable to the increase in revenues from the increased fleet, partially offset by the increase in vessel operating and supervision costs associated with our increased fleet and the increase in general and administrative expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $67.5 million and $217.2 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($39.7 million and $101.6 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively).

EPS was $0.11 and $0.54 for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($0.34 and $0.91 for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively). The decrease in EPS is attributable to the decrease in Profit and the increase in the weighted average number of shares following the equity offerings and the private placement completed in the first half of 2014.

Adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ was $0.28 and $0.83 for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($0.28 and $0.63 for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively). The increase in Adjusted EPS was attributable to the increase in Adjusted Profit, partially offset by the increase in the weighted average number of shares following the equity offerings and the private placement completed in the first half of 2014.

⁽¹⁾ EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures, and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for GasLog’s financial results presented in accordance with IFRS. For definitions and reconciliations of these measurements 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.

Revenues were $99.0 million and $328.7 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($59.3 million and $157.2 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively).

Vessel operating and supervision costs were $21.5 million and $78.5 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($14.2 million and $34.9 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively).

Depreciation of fixed assets was $22.2 million and $70.7 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($10.3 million and $29.3 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively).

The increase in revenues, vessels operating and supervision costs and depreciation of fixed assets was mainly attributable to the increase in operating days from an increased fleet discussed above.

General and administrative expenses were $9.6 million and $34.2 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($5.7 million and $21.6 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively). The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in personnel expenses related to the growth of the Group, the increase in legal and professional fees, such as audit and other professional services, the increase in non-cash stock based compensation expense, the increase in travel and accommodation expenses related to the Group’s expansion in London and New York and the increase in costs attributable to GasLog Partners’ IPO and on-going listing obligations.

Financial costs were $24.5 million and $71.6 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($10.5 million and $27.9 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively). In financial costs for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, there is an amount of $5.8 million and $9.0 million, respectively, representing the write-off of the unamortized deferred loan issuance costs in connection with the repayment of GasLog Partners’ existing facilities. An analysis of financial costs is as follows:

Loss on swaps was $11.5 million and $24.8 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively (gain of $2.3 million and $11.5 million for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively). An analysis of (gain)/loss on swaps is as follows:

Contracted Charter Revenues⁽¹⁾

GasLog’s contracted charter revenues are estimated to increase from $321.0 million for the fiscal year 2014 to $423.6 million for the fiscal year 2017, based on contracts in effect as of December 31, 2014 for the ten LNG carriers delivered to us in through December 31, 2014; the six LNG carriers acquired from a subsidiary of BG Group in April 2014 and June 2014; and the four LNG carriers on order for which we have secured time charters, but does not include any extension options. The total future firm contracted revenue stands at $2.6 billion. These amounts include the five vessels now owned by GasLog Partners but excludes the recently announced vessels acquisitions of the Methane Becki Anne and the Methane Julia Louise from BG Group, which if included would add a further $590 million of contracted revenue.

⁽¹⁾ Contracted revenue calculations assume: (a) 365 revenue days per annum, with 30 off-hire days when the ship undergoes scheduled drydocking; (b) all LNG carriers on order are delivered on schedule; and (c) no exercise of any option to extend the term of charters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2014, GasLog had $212.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $117.3 million was held in time deposits and the remaining balance in current accounts. Moreover, as of December 31, 2014, GasLog had $28.1 million held in time deposits with an initial duration of more than three months but less than a year that have been classified as short-term investments. As of December 31, 2014, GasLog had $22.8 million in restricted cash in relation to cash held in blocked accounts in order to comply with the covenants under two of its credit facilities.

As of December 31, 2014, GasLog had an aggregate of $1.8 billion of indebtedness outstanding under nine credit facilities, of which $121.8 million is repayable within one year, including $42.2 million under the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2014, GasLog had $134.7 million outstanding under the NOK bond agreement that is payable in June 2018.

As of December 31, 2014, GasLog’s commitments for capital expenditures are related to the nine LNG carriers on order, which have a gross aggregate contract price of approximately $1.8 billion. As of December 31, 2014, the total remaining balance of the contract prices of the nine newbuildings was $1.7 billion that will be funded with cash balances, cash from operations, existing undrawn debt and other financings we may enter into. The contract price for the two vessels under the Pending Vessels Acquisition is $460.0 million, which is expected to be funded by the two commitments described in the Financing Update section.

GasLog has hedged 53.9% of its expected floating interest rate exposure at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.6% (including margin) as of December 31, 2014. GasLog expects the total percentage of debt hedged to increase as it looks to hedge the recently completed $450.0 million GasLog Partners credit facility.

Fleet Update

As of December 31, 2014 GasLog has seven newbuildings on order at Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. and two newbuildings on order at Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. Our vessels presently under construction are on schedule and within budget. The expected delivery dates are as follows:

LNG Market Update and Outlook

There were a number of important developments during the fourth quarter of 2014, particularly in the United States, highlighting North America’s increasing prominence in the LNG production industry. The first two trains of the 13.2 million tons per annum ("mtpa”) Freeport project commenced construction as did the 5.9mtpa Cove Point project. At the end of the quarter, Cheniere’s 13.5mtpa Corpus Christi project became the fifth U.S. project to receive Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC”) approval and we believe this project will take final investment decision ("FID”) in the first half of 2015, having secured the financing commitments in December 2014. The project has also sold all of the volumes from its first two trains (over 8mtpa of total projected volumes) on long-term supply agreements.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the first project in a wave of new LNG projects in Australia commenced production. BG’s Curtis project (4.25mtpa from Train 1) loaded its first cargo on schedule. The cargo was loaded onto the Methane Rita Andrea, one of the vessels GasLog acquired from BG earlier in 2014, which was then sold to GasLog Partners in September 2014. In 2015, we expect Gladstone (7.8mtpa), Gorgon (15.6mtpa) and Australia Pacific (9mtpa) to continue this momentum, leading to a significant increase in the global requirement for LNG carriers.

There is currently 123.7mtpa of new LNG production capacity under construction supporting our expectation that the medium to long-term outlook for LNG shipping is extremely positive. During the fourth quarter, the pick-up in activity in the shorter term market seen in the third quarter of 2014 was sustained, leading to a year on year increase in the total number of spot market fixtures for the quarter of 126%. The increase in liquidity is an encouraging development for LNG shipping and could lead to more opportunities for GasLog. We are seeing some weakness in the current spot market as a number of uncontracted newbuilds deliver into the market. GasLog currently has all of its ships on either long-term or spot charters with the most recent delivery, the GasLog Saratoga, on a short term spot cargo with a subsidiary of BG Group that commenced in January 2015. The GasLog Chelsea contract with PNG LNG was extended during the quarter for a second time at the same rate and we now expect this vessel to come off contract in May 2015. Including the recently announced Pending Vessels Acquisition, the consolidated fleet currently consists of 18 vessels on the water, with 14 of those vessels on contracts with subsidiaries of BG Group and Royal Dutch Shell plc ("Shell”).

GasLog’s strategy is to have its fleet largely contracted to high credit quality counterparties, whilst at the same time having a small number of vessels open to the spot market. Looking ahead, we anticipate significant opportunities to capture upside in the market in the coming years, particularly as we expect the ramp up of new liquefaction capacity around the world to outstrip the number of ships currently on order. Through the delivery of our newbuilding program and the potential to add further on-the-water vessels, we believe GasLog is very well placed to take advantage of the continuing growth in the LNG industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

EBITDA is defined as earnings before depreciation, amortization, interest income and expense, gain/loss on swaps and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before foreign exchange gains/losses. Adjusted Profit represents earnings before write-off of unamortized loan fees, foreign exchange gains/losses and non-cash gain/loss on swaps that includes (a) unrealized gain/loss on swaps held for trading, (b) loss at inception, (c) recycled loss of cash flow hedges reclassified to profit or loss and (d) ineffective portion of cash flow hedges. Adjusted EPS represents earnings before non-cash gain/loss on swaps as defined above, foreign exchange gains/losses and write-off of unamortized loan fees, divided by the weighted average shares outstanding. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. We believe that including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS 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 continue to hold our common shares. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, interest, gain/loss on swaps, taxes, depreciation and amortization, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, foreign exchange gains/losses and in the case of Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS, non-cash gain/loss on swaps, foreign exchange gains/losses and write-off of unamortized loan fees, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS 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 share or any other measure of financial 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 significant interest expense, or 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 EPS are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows and other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS, 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 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPS should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the excluded items. Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in the shipping or other industries.
