Odfjell SE: A weak chemical tanker market that improved towards the end of the quarter

Odfjell SE today reported its results for the fourth quarter of 2018. The results reflect a weak chemical tanker market that improved towards the end of the quarter, and stable underlying results from Odfjell Terminals.

Odfjell SE reports EBITDA of USD 33 million compared with USD 31 million in the previous quarter.

Highlights for the fourth quarter of 2018:

  • Chemical tanker spot rates improved towards the end of 4Q18, which seems to continue into 1Q19
  • EBITDA of USD 27 million from Odfjell Tankers compared to USD 27 million in 3Q18. EBITDA was impacted by higher G&A in 4Q18
  • EBITDA of USD 5 million from Odfjell Terminals compared to USD 4 million in the third quarter
  • Net results of USD -48 million compared to USD -31 million in last quarter before adjusting for non-recurring items
  • Lindsay Goldberg entered into an agreement to sell its 49% shareholding in Odfjell Terminals US terminals to funds managed by Northleaf Capital Partners

“4Q18 concluded a challenging year for chemical tankers, but the market improved towards the end of the quarter. This is consistent with our view that the market has healthy fundamentals. We do expect continued volatility, but we believe our markets have passed the bottom, and we therefore expect improved performance in 1Q19. We are pleased to welcome a new partner in our US terminals that positions us to further develop our US business”, said Kristian Mørch, CEO of Odfjell SE.

Please see attached for 4Q18 Report and Presentation. In connection with the quarterly release, Odfjell SE will present the results at Hotel Continental at 09:00 CET, meeting facility “Teatersalen 2”, Stortingsgata 24/26, Oslo. A live webcast will simultaneously be available on  and at . The presentation will be held in English.

Odfjell SE (Buy, TP: NOK170.00) - Gear up for renewed momentum

We believe the low 3% swing tonnage and solid tanker outlook on increased OPEC+ volumes, an ageing fleet, and modest supply growth, along with higher chemical volumes, point to a strong chemical tanker outlook. We estimate a 2025 earnings yield of 26% and find Odfjell attractive at an average 2025–2026e P/E of 3.5x (tanker peers: 5.8x). We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK170 (180), mainly due to FX effects.

Another abrupt change

The US Trade Representative on 17 April published revised US port fees with significant changes to the initial proposal based on industry feedback. In its current form, the fees will primarily discourage use of Chinese-controlled maritime trade services to the US, and directly affect the use of Chinese-built vessels in US ports (with several considerable exemptions to avoid harm to US trade). The previous broader fees based on fleet composition and share of Chinese-built vessels has been scrappe...

Odfjell SE (Buy, TP: NOK180.00) - On course for a solid rebound

With chemical volumes up 8% MOM in March and accelerated unwinding of OPEC+ cuts, coupled with only 3% tanker deliveries in 2025e and a record-high average fleet age, we see healthy prospects. Hence, we believe Odfjell screens attractively on an 18% 2025–2026e dividend yield, trading at a 2.4x average 2025–2026e P/E (tanker peers: 4.7x). We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK180 (200).

‘The times they are a-changin’

The recurring theme at our 18th Energy & Shipping Conference was geopolitical uncertainty and a potential trade war, warranting a wait-and-see approach, particularly on the Trump 2.0 effect. The consensus view pointed to high asset values, with no rush to the yards, aligning with below-NAV valuations across most of our coverage. However, panellists generally saw less downside risk than the 25% average discount to steel for our Tanker, Dry Bulk and Gas coverage. Overall, the day highlighted uncer...
