Yahoo Finanza Havila Shipping ASA: Fourt quarter 2022 report/2022 Preliminary report
Summary
The market for the company’s vessels has been variable in the fourth quarter. The company has been exposed to a limited extent in the spot market. Income and profit are affected to a significant extent by the sale of vessels, and reversed write-downs of vessels. Reversed write-downs result from increased income estimates and also result in an increased debt value.
Agreement with lenders entered into in 2020 clarifies the company’s obligations towards the lenders for the period until 2024. Five vessels that have been in lay-up, of which 3 AHTS and 2 PSV, have been sold. Of these, 3 vessels were delivered to new owners in the second quarter, one vessel was delivered in the third quarter and one vessel was delivered in the fourth quarter.
Another vessel has been agreed sold, and was delivered to the new owner in January 2023. The vessel is per 31/12/22 classified as assets held for sale. After the maximum reversal of historical impairment charges, the book amount is lower than the sales value. The debt is recognized at fair value, which is approximately equal to the sales value. As a result of the debt associated with this vessel being valued at fair value as of 31/12/22, while the book value of the vessel is limited to the original depreciation plan, the group will have negative equity at the end of 2022. The group’s equity became positive again when a significant gain on sale of assets is booked upon delivery of the vessel in January 2023.
