Havila Shipping ASA: First quarter 2020 accounts

Summary

The sharp fall in oil price and the Covid-19 virus have reduced the activity in the markets where the vessels are operated.

Reduced demand for vessels, will have negative impact on the revenues going forward.

The weakening of Norwegian Kroner has resulted in a significant unrealized currency loss related to financing, but increases the income from contracts in foreign currencies.

The impairment test of vessels has resulted in no impairment in first quarter, but significant reduction in the excess value compared to book value for most of the vessels.

The interest rate level has fallen and will result in lower interest expenses than expected as soon as the debt restructuring has been implemented.
