General
We are a provider of marine transportation of petroleum products worldwide. We currently own and operate 48 tankers (four LR2 tankers, two LR1 tankers, 10 Handymax tankers, 31 MR tankers, and one post-Panamax tanker) that have a weighted average age of 1.5 years as of the date of this report, time charter-in and operate 24 tankers (eight LR2, five LR1, four MR and seven Handymax tankers) and have 27 newbuilding product tankers under construction. We also own approximately 16.3 % of Dorian LPG Ltd (Dorian). Dorian is a liquefied petroleum gas shipping company that owns five Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs) and one pressurized gas carrier and has 17 VLGCs under construction.
Since June 2011, we have entered into contracts with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd. of South Korea, or HMD, SPP Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. of South Korea, or SPP, Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., or HSHI, and Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., or DSME, for the construction of 89 tankers, which include 11 VLGCs under construction that were sold to Dorian in 2013 and seven Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) under construction that were sold in March 2014. As a result of the sale of the VLCCs, we received net proceeds of $141.7 million in cash and recorded a gain of $51.4 million. We refer to our vessels under construction as our Newbuilding Program.
The first 45 of these newbuilding vessels have been delivered as of the date of this report, 13 newbuilding product tankers are scheduled for delivery in 2014 and the remaining 14 in the first and second quarters of 2015. The remaining 27 vessels under construction have an aggregate purchase price of $1,051.5 million.

Dividend Payment

Stock Buyback Program
In July 2014, the board of directors approved a new stock buyback program with authorization to purchase up to $150 million of shares of the Companys common stock. This program replaced the Companys stock buyback program that was approved in June 2014.
During 2014 (through the date of this report), we acquired 36,729,136 common shares that are being held as treasury shares, which includes (i) 19,101,536 common shares that were purchased in the open market at an average price of $9.06 per share, (ii) 7,500,000 common shares that were acquired in exchange for 3,422,665 shares in Dorian owned by the Company and (iii) 10,127,600 common shares that were acquired in conjunction with the Companys offering of $360 million of Convertible Senior Notes. As of the date of this report, the remaining amount under our stock buyback program is $82.5 million.
We expect to repurchase shares under the buy-back program in the open market, at times and prices that we consider to be appropriate, but are not obligated under the terms of the program to repurchase any shares.

KEXIM Guaranteed Notes due 2019
On July 18, 2014, Seven and Seven Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Issuer), completed an offering of $125,250,000 in aggregate principal amount of floating rate guaranteed notes due 2019 (the KEXIM Notes) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A of the Securities Act and in offshore transactions complying with Regulation S of the Securities Act. The KEXIM Notes were issued in connection with the Companys KEXIM Credit Facility and will reduce KEXIMs funding obligations and the Companys borrowing costs under such facility by 1.55% per year. Seven and Seven Ltd. was incorporated for the purpose of facilitating this transaction and servicing the bonds until maturity.
Payment of 100% of all regularly scheduled installments of principal of, and interest on, the KEXIM Notes are guaranteed by The Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM), a statutory juridical entity established under The Export-Import Bank of Korea Act of 1969, as amended, in the Republic of Korea.
The proceeds from the initial sale of the KEXIM Notes were deposited into a deposit account and were periodically distributed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of applicable conditions, to the facility agent under the Companys KEXIM Credit Facility to finance advances to the borrowers thereunder to fund a portion of the purchase price of 18 new vessels, 10 of which are Handymax tankers and eight of which are LR2 tankers. Seven ice class Handymax tankers, STI Comandante, STI Brixton, STI Pimlico, STI Hackney, STI Acton, STI Fulham and STI Camden and four LR2 tankers, STI Elysees, STI Madison, STI Park and STI Orchard were delivered between May and September 2014. The remaining seven vessels are expected to be delivered to the respective borrowers between November 2014 and December 2014.
The KEXIM Notes are currently listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the SGX-ST). The KEXIM Notes are not listed on any other securities exchange, listing authority or quotation system.

We generate revenues by charging customers for the transportation of their refined oil and other petroleum products using our vessels. Historically, these services generally have been provided under the following basic types of contractual relationships:
| Voyage charters, which are charters for short intervals that are priced on current, or spot, market rates. |
| Time charters, which are chartered to customers for a fixed period of time at rates that are generally fixed, but may contain a variable component based on inflation, interest rates, or current market rates. |
| Commercial Pools, whereby we participate with other shipowners to operate a large number of vessels as an integrated transportation system, which offers customers greater flexibility and a higher level of service while achieving scheduling efficiencies. Pools negotiate charters primarily in the spot market. The size and scope of these pools enable them to enhance utilization rates for pool vessels by securing backhaul voyages and contracts of affreightment (described below), thus generating higher effective time charter equivalent, or TCE, revenues than otherwise might be obtainable in the spot market. |
For all types of vessels in contractual relationships, we are responsible for crewing and other vessel operating costs for our owned vessels and for the charterhire expense for vessels that we time charter-in.
The table below illustrates the primary distinctions among these different employment arrangements:

(1) | Hire rate refers to the basic payment from the charterer for the use of the vessel. |
(2) | Voyage expenses refers to expenses incurred due to a vessels traveling from a loading port to a discharging port, such as fuel (bunker) cost, port expenses, agents fees, canal dues and extra war risk insurance, as well as commissions. |
(3) | Defined below under Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts. |
(4) | Off-hire refers to the time a vessel is not available for service due primarily to scheduled and unscheduled repairs or drydockings. For time chartered-in vessels, we do not pay the charterhire expense when the vessel is off-hire. |
Please see our fleet list for a description of the employment arrangement for each of our vessels.
Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts
We use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts. These include the following:
Vessel revenues. Vessel revenues primarily include revenues from time charters, pool revenues and voyage charters (in the spot market). Vessel revenues are affected by hire rates and the number of days a vessel operates. Vessel revenues are also affected by the mix of business between vessels on time charter, vessels in pools and vessels operating on voyage charter. Revenues from vessels in pools and on voyage charter are more volatile, as they are typically tied to prevailing market rates.
Voyage charters. Voyage charters or spot voyages are charters under which the customer pays a transportation charge for the movement of a specific cargo between two or more specified ports. We pay all of the voyage expenses.
9
Voyage expenses. Voyage expenses primarily include bunkers, port charges, canal tolls, cargo handling operations and brokerage commissions paid by us under voyage charters. These expenses are subtracted from voyage charter revenues to calculate time charter equivalent revenues.
Vessel operating costs. For our owned vessels, we are responsible for vessel operating costs, which include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils, communication expenses, and technical management fees. The two largest components of our vessel operating costs are crew costs, and repairs and maintenance. Expenses for repairs and maintenance tend to fluctuate from period to period because most repairs and maintenance typically occur during periodic drydocking. Please read Drydocking below. We expect these expenses to increase as our fleet matures and to the extent that it expands.
Additionally, these costs include technical management fees that we paid to SSM, which is controlled by the Lolli-Ghetti family, a related-party. Pursuant to our Master Agreement, SSM provides us with technical services, and we provide them with the ability to subcontract technical management of our vessels with our approval.
Charterhire. Charterhire is the amount we pay the owner for time chartered-in vessels. The amount is usually for a fixed period of time at rates that are generally fixed, but may contain a variable component based on inflation, interest rates, or current market rates. The vessels owner is responsible for crewing and other vessel operating costs.
Drydocking. We periodically drydock each of our owned vessels for inspection, repairs and maintenance and any modifications to comply with industry certification or governmental requirements. Generally, each vessel is drydocked every 30 months to 60 months. We capitalize a substantial portion of the costs incurred during drydocking and amortize those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a drydocking to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. We immediately expense costs for routine repairs and maintenance performed during drydocking that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the assets. The number of drydockings undertaken in a given period and the nature of the work performed determine the level of drydocking expenditures.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense typically consists of:
| charges related to the depreciation of the historical cost of our owned vessels (less an estimated residual value) over the estimated useful lives of the vessels; and |
| charges related to the amortization of drydocking expenditures over the estimated number of years to the next scheduled drydocking. |
Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenue or rates. We report time charter equivalent, or TCE revenues, a non-IFRS measure, because (i) we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with voyage revenues and voyage expenses, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, (ii) it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating their financial performance, (iii) it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping companys performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods, and (iv) we believe that it presents useful information to investors. TCE revenue is vessel revenue less voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges. The TCE rate achieved on a given voyage is expressed in US dollars/day and is generally calculated by taking TCE revenue and dividing that figure by the number of revenue days in the period. For a reconciliation of TCE revenue, deduct voyage expenses from revenue on our Statement of Income or Loss.

(1) | Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs divided by the number of days the vessel is owned during the period. |
Revenue days. Revenue days are the total number of calendar days our vessels were in our possession during a period, less the total number of off-hire days during the period associated with major repairs or drydockings. Consequently, revenue days represent the total number of days available for the vessel to earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when a vessel is available to earn revenue, yet is not employed, are included in revenue days. We use revenue days to show changes in net vessel revenues between periods.
Average number of vessels. Historical average number of owned vessels consists of the average number of vessels that were in our possession during a period. We use average number of vessels primarily to highlight changes in vessel operating costs and depreciation and amortization.
Contract of affreightment. A contract of affreightment, or COA, relates to the carriage of specific quantities of cargo with multiple voyages over the same route and over a specific period of time which usually spans a number of years. A COA does not designate the specific vessels or voyage schedules that will transport the cargo, thereby providing both the charterer and shipowner greater operating flexibility than with voyage charters alone. The charterer has the flexibility to determine the individual voyage scheduling at a future date while the shipowner may use different vessels to perform these individual voyages. As a result, COAs are mostly entered into by large fleet operators, such as pools or shipowners with large fleets of the same vessel type. When our vessels are employed on COAs, we pay the voyage expenses while the freight rate normally is agreed on a per cargo ton basis.
Commercial pools. To increase vessel utilization and revenues, we participate in commercial pools with other shipowners and operators of similar modern, well-maintained vessels. By operating a large number of vessels as an integrated transportation system, commercial pools offer customers greater flexibility and a higher level of service while achieving scheduling efficiencies. Pools employ experienced commercial charterers and operators who have close working relationships with customers and brokers, while technical management is performed by each shipowner. Pools negotiate charters with customers primarily in the spot market. The size and scope of these pools enable them to enhance utilization rates for pool vessels by securing backhaul voyages and COAs, thus generating higher effective TCE revenues than otherwise might be obtainable in the spot market while providing a higher level of service offerings to customers.
Operating days. Operating days are the total number of available days in a period with respect to the owned vessels, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only applicable to our owned vessels, not our chartered-in vessels.

Items You Should Consider When Evaluating Our Results
You should consider the following factors when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects:
Our vessel revenues are affected by cyclicality in the tanker markets. The cyclical nature of the tanker industry causes significant increases or decreases in the revenue we earn from our vessels, particularly those vessels we trade in the spot market. We employ a chartering strategy to capture upside opportunities in the spot market while using fixed-rate time charters to reduce downside risks, depending on SCMs outlook for freight rates, oil tanker market conditions and global economic conditions. Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability due to changes in the supply of, and demand for, tanker capacity. The supply of tanker capacity is influenced by the number and size of new vessels built, vessels scrapped, converted and lost, the number of vessels that are out of service, and regulations that may effectively cause early obsolescence of tonnage. The demand for tanker capacity is influenced by, among other factors:
| global and regional economic and political conditions; |
| increases and decreases in production of and demand for crude oil and petroleum products; |
| increases and decreases in OPEC oil production quotas; |
| the distance crude oil and petroleum products need to be transported by sea; and |
| developments in international trade and changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns. |
Tanker rates also fluctuate based on seasonal variations in demand. Tanker markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere but weaker in the summer months as a result of lower oil consumption in the northern hemisphere and refinery maintenance that is typically conducted in the summer months. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns during the winter months in the northern hemisphere tend to disrupt vessel routing and scheduling. The oil price volatility resulting from these factors has historically led to increased oil trading activities in the winter months. As a result, revenues generated by our vessels have historically been weaker during the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, and stronger in the quarters ended March 31 and December 31.
Our general and administrative expenses were affected by the fees we pay SCM and SSH for commercial management and administrative services respectively. SCM and SSH, companies controlled by the Lolli-Ghetti family of which our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is a member, provide commercial and administrative management services to us, respectively. We pay fees under our Master Agreement with SCM, which are identical to what SCM charges to its pool participants, including third-party owned vessels. We reimburse our Administrator for the reasonable direct or indirect expenses it incurs in providing us with the administrative services described above. We also pay our Administrator a fee for arranging vessel purchases and sales for us equal to 1% of the gross purchase or sale price, payable upon the consummation of any such purchase or sale. We believe this 1% fee on purchases and sales is customary in the tanker industry.

Net income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $52.8 million, an increase of $42.2 million or 399% from net income of $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The differences between the two periods are discussed below.
Vessel revenue. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $134.2 million, an increase of $37.7 million or 39% from revenue of $96.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Overall revenue increases were driven by growth in our fleet of both owned and time chartered-in vessels to an average of 20.9 owned and 29.1 time chartered-in vessels during the six months ended June 30, 2014 from an average of 13.7 owned and 19.0 time chartered-in vessels during the six months ended June 30, 2013. These increases were offset by an overall decrease in revenue per day to $14,339 per day from $15,943 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Owned vessels Pool revenue. Pool revenue for owned vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $41.2 million, an increase of $4.0 million or 11% from $37.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the number of pool revenue days to 3,021 from 2,281 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in pool revenue days was primarily driven by our MR operating segment which contributed 13 vessels delivered under our Newbuilding Program into the Scorpio MR Pool throughout 2013 and during the first half of 2014. The increase in pool revenue days was offset by a decrease in pool revenue per day to $13,625 from $16,306 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Owned vessels Voyage revenue. Voyage revenue for owned vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $15.6 million, an increase of $12.3 million or 365% from $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was the result of an increase in the number of days vessels operated in the spot market to 533 days from 168 days during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and an improvement in average daily voyage revenue for vessels operating in the spot market.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, Senatore and Noemi operated in the spot market for an aggregate of 124 days prior to their respective sales. Additionally, Venice operated in the spot market for 101 days and seven vessels delivered under our Newbuilding Program operated in the spot market for an aggregate of 308 days during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
13
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, STI Emerald, STI Sapphire and STI Beryl operated in the spot market for 168 days on short term time charters which commenced upon their deliveries from the shipyard.
Owned vessels Time charter revenue. Time charter revenue for owned vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3.0 million. This revenue relates to STI Texas City, STI Meraux and STI San Antonio, which are MR tankers that were delivered under our Newbuilding Program during the six months ended June 30, 2014. In March 2014, STI Texas City began a two year time charter, and in May 2014, STI Meraux and STI San Antonio each began one year time charters. Each of the three time charters has a 50% profit sharing provision whereby we split all of the vessels profits above the daily base rate with the charterer.
Time chartered-in vessels Pool revenue. Pool revenue for time chartered-in vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $74.1 million, an increase of $24.3 million or 49% from $49.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Pool revenue days for time chartered-in vessels increased to 5,274 from 3,233 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively as a result of growth in our time chartered-in fleet to an average of 29.1 vessels from 19.0 vessels. The increase in pool revenue days for time chartered-in vessels was offset by a decrease in pool revenue per day to $14,025 from $15,417 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Time chartered-in vessels Voyage revenue. No time chartered-in vessels operated in the spot market during the six months ended June 30, 2014, whereas SN Federica, Gan-Trust and Nave Orion operated in the spot market during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Vessel operating costs. Vessel operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $26.8 million, an increase of $10.3 million or 62% from $16.5 million for six months ended June 30, 2013. Operating days increased to 3,780 days from 2,485 days and vessel operating costs increased to $7,052 per day from $6,529 per day for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in operating days was due to an increase in the average number of owned vessels to 20.9 from 13.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which was the result of the deliveries of 18 vessels under our Newbuilding Program throughout 2013 and in the first half of 2014. Vessel operating costs per day increased primarily as a result of increased operating costs among our older vessels in our LR2, LR1 and Handymax segments. Three of these vessels, Noemi, Senatore and STI Spirit were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Voyage expenses. Voyage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $4.5 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 79% from $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was the result of an increase in the number of days vessels operated in the spot market to 533 days from 377 days during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Furthermore, six vessels delivered under our Newbuilding Program (STI Opera, STI Duchessa, STI Ville, STI Chelsea, STI Lexington and STI Comandante) were employed on short-term time charters (ranging from 45 to 120 days) for a total of 304 days during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The vessels delivered under our Newbuilding Program during 2013 were employed on similar short-term time charters for a total of 168 days during the six months ended June 30, 2013. These short term time charters were agreed to at fixed TCE rates, where only nominal voyage expenses were incurred.
Vessels that were not on short term time charter include Noemi, Senatore and Venice which operated in the spot market for 224 days during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and Nave Orion, Gan-Trust and SN Federica which operated in the spot market for 209 days during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Also, voyage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were higher because Noemi (LR1), Senatore (LR1) and Venice (post-panamax), are larger vessels that incur higher fuel (bunker) costs than smaller vessels such as Nave Orion (MR) and Gan-Trust (MR).
Charterhire. Charterhire expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $76.4 million, an increase of $28.9 million, or 61% from $47.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change was the result of an increase in the average number of time chartered-in vessels to 29.1 from 19.0 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $13.3 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 29% from $10.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was the result of an increase in the average number of owned vessels to 20.9 from 13.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in depreciation expense was offset by four vessels, Noemi, Senatore, Venice and STI Spirit, which were designated as held for sale at December 31, 2013 and ceased depreciation at that date when they were written down to their estimated disposal value.
14
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $22.6 million, an increase of $14.6 million, or 181% from $8.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change was driven by a $11.6 million increase in restricted stock amortization (non-cash) and additional general and administrative expenses due to the significant growth of the Company.
Gain on sale of VLCCs. Gain on sale of VLCCs of $51.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was from the sale of the seven VLCCs under construction for cash in March 2014. We received net proceeds of $141.7 million as a result of the sale; the book value of these assets at the time of sale (primarily consisting of installment payments made to date) was $90.3 million.
Gain on sale of Dorian shares. Gain on sale of Dorian shares of $10.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 relates to the acquisition of 7,500,000 of our common shares from an existing shareholder in exchange for the sale to said shareholder of 3,422,665 common shares in Dorian in a privately negotiated transaction. As a result of the disposal of the Dorian shares, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $10.9 million during the second quarter of 2014, and its ownership in Dorian was reduced to 9.4 million shares, or approximately 16.3% of Dorians total outstanding shares.
Financial expenses. Financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $0.9 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 54% from $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was due to an increase in interest capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of the significant growth in our Newbuilding Program.
Financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of interest expense on our bank loans ($0.2 million), commitment fees on the undrawn portions of our credit facilities ($0.05 million), amortization of loan fees ($0.5 million) and amortization of agency fees ($0.2 million).
Financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of interest expense on our bank loans ($0.8 million), commitment fees on the undrawn portions of our credit facilities ($0.7 million) and amortization of loan fees ($0.3 million).
Share of income from associate. Share of income from associate, representing our share of Dorians net income, was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The closing date of our investment in Dorian was November 26, 2013 and accordingly, no income or loss was incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Vessel revenue. Vessel revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $25.4 million, an increase of $15.2 million or 149% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue days to 1,687 days from 694 days as a result of the increase in the average number of time chartered-in vessels in this segment to 8.7 from 2.9 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This increase was partially offset by the reduction of revenue days due to the sale of STI Spirit in April 2014.
Vessel operating costs. Vessel operating costs were $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 35% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is due to the sale of STI Spirit in April 2014 which, was the only owned vessel in this operating segment during both periods.
Charterhire. Charterhire expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $25.0 million, an increase of $16.7 million or 203%, from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was due to an increase in the average number of time chartered-in vessels to 8.7 from 2.9 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, FPMC Ideal, FPMC Hero, Fair Seas, Pink Stars and Orange Stars were time chartered-in for all or a portion of the period. In addition to the five vessels, chartered-in during the first half of 2013, Khawr Aladid, Densa Alligator, Four Sky, Southport and Swarma Jayanti were also time chartered-in for all or a portion of the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense decreased $0.9 million or 100% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was from STI Spirit, which ceased being depreciated and was written down to its estimated disposal value at December 31, 2013, the date the vessel was designated as held for sale. STI Spirit was sold for $30.2 million in April 2014.
Financial expenses. Financial expenses for the LR2 segment relate to interest expense on our STI Spirit Credit Facility. We repaid the entire outstanding amount of $21.4 million under this facility in April 2014 as a result of the sale of STI Spirit.

Vessel Revenue. Vessel revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $31.9 million, an increase of $11.2 million or 54% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in the number of revenue days to 1,679 from 1,389 and an increase in revenue per day to $16,556 from $13,600 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. FPMC P Eagle, SN Federica and Hellespont Promise were time chartered-in during the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition to the three vessels chartered-in during the first half of 2013, King Douglas, SN Azzura, and Hellespont Progress were also time chartered-in for all or a portion of the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in revenue per day was the result of a strong trade in dirty products (such as fuel oil) during the first quarter of 2014 that particularly benefited Panamax/LR1 vessels trading in the spot market.
Vessel operating costs. Vessel operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $6.2 million, a decrease of $0.4 million or 6% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. Vessel operating days decreased to 712 days from 905 days for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This decrease was offset by an increase in vessel operating costs to $8,729 per day from $7,264 per day during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in operating days was the result of the sales of Noemi and Senatore in March and April, 2014 respectively while the increase in operating costs per day was the result of higher crew costs incurred on these vessels prior to their sale.
Voyage expenses. Voyage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $4.0 million, an increase of $2.2 million or 122% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was driven by Noemi, Senatore and Venice, which operated in the spot market for 224 days during the six months ended June 30, 2014, whereas only SN Federica operated in the spot market for 75 days during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Charterhire. Charterhire expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $13.9 million, an increase of $7.8 million or 127% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was the result of an increase in the average number of time chartered-in vessels to 5.5 from 2.7 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. FPMC P Eagle, SN Federica and Hellespont Promise were time chartered-in for all or a portion of the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition to these three vessels, King Douglas, SN Azzura, and Hellespont Progress were time chartered-in for all or a portion of the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1.7 million, a decrease of $2.1 million or 55% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was driven by Noemi, Senatore and Venice, which ceased being depreciated and were written down to their estimated disposal values at December 31, 2013, the date which they were considered as held for sale. Noemi and Senatore were sold in March and April 2014, respectively, for an aggregate selling price of $44.0 million.

Vessel revenue. Vessel revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $51.3 million, an increase of $4.1 million or 9% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in the overall number of revenue days to 3,894 from 2,582 offset by a decrease in TCE revenue per day to $13,066 from $18,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The increase in revenue days was driven by an increase in the average number of owned vessels to 15.2 from 6.7 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. STI Sapphire, STI Emerald, STI Beryl, STI Le Rocher, STI Larvotto, STI Fontvieille and STI Ville were delivered during the six months ended June 30, 2013. STI Duchessa, STI Opera, STI Texas City, STI Meraux, STI Chelsea, STI Lexington, STI San Antonio, STI Venere and STI Virtus were delivered during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
The decrease in TCE revenue per day was driven by a weak spot market for MR tankers during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Elongated maintenance schedules and unscheduled outages in U.S. Gulf Coast refineries pressured charter rates for MRs trading in that region which had a consequent effect on the overall spot market.
Vessel operating costs. Vessel operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $17.8 million, an increase of $10.6 million or 145%, from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was the result of an increase in the number of operating days to 2,747 days from 1,218 days during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company took delivery of seven newbuilding MRs throughout 2013 and an additional nine newbuilding MRs during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Charterhire. Charterhire expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $17.0 million, a decrease of $2.7 million or 14%, from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was the result of a decrease in the average number of time chartered-in vessels to 6.4 from 7.6 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The time charters for Endeavour, Pacific Duchess and Valle Bianca expired during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and no new time charters were entered into subsequently.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $10.9 million, an increase of $5.9 million or 117% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was the result of an increase in the average number of owned MR vessels to 15.2 from 6.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company took delivery of seven newbuilding MRs throughout 2013 and an additional nine newbuilding MRs during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $0.8 million, an increase of $0.4 million or 104% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. General and administrative expenses for the MR segment primarily consist of administrative fees to SSH which increased as a result of the increase in the average number of owned MR vessels to 15.2 from 6.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Vessel revenue. Vessel revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $25.4 million, an increase of $7.0 million, or 38% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in the number of revenue days to 1,757 from 1,226 which was primarily driven by an increase in the average number of time chartered-in vessels to 8.5 from 5.8 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, the Company took delivery of the first two ice class-1A Handymax tankers under its Newbuilding Program, STI Comandante and STI Brixton, during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Vessel operating costs. Vessel operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $1.8 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 48% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was driven by an increase in vessel operating costs per day to $8,464 from $6,453 which was the result of unplanned repairs on STI Highlander during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Additionally, vessel operating days increased to 215 from 181 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively as a result of the deliveries of STI Comandante and STI Brixton.
Charterhire. Charterhire expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $20.5 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 53% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. This was the result of an increase in the average number of time chartered-in vessels to 8.5 from 5.8 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Krisjanis Valdemars, Kraslava, Histria Azure, Histria Perla, Histria Coral, Jinan, and Freja Polaris were time chartered-in for all or a portion of the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition to these seven vessels, Iver Progress and Iver Prosperity were time chartered-in for all or a portion of the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of funds for our short-term and long-term liquidity needs will be the cash flows generated from our vessels, which primarily operate in the Scorpio Group Pools, in addition to availability under our 2013 Credit Facility, KEXIM and K-Sure Credit Facilities, and cash on hand. The Scorpio Group Pools reduce volatility because (i) they aggregate the revenues and expenses of all pool participants and distribute net earnings to the participants based on an agreed upon formula and (ii) some of the vessels in the pool are on time charter. Furthermore, spot charters provide flexibility and allow
19
us to fix vessels at prevailing rates. We believe these cash flows from operations, amounts available for borrowing under our various credit facilities and our cash balance will be sufficient to meet our existing liquidity needs for the next 12 months from the date of this report. As of June 30, 2014, our cash balance was $357.3 million, which was higher than our cash balance of $78.8 million as of December 31, 2013.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our net cash inflow from operating activities was $18.6 million, net cash outflow from investing activities was $241.3 million and net cash inflow from financing activities was $501.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our net cash outflow from operating activities was $7.0 million, net cash outflow from investing activities was $323.5 million, and net cash inflow from financing activities was $764.3 million.
The significant activity in our cash balance during the six months ended June 30, 2014 is summarized as follows:
Newbuilding installment payments
We made $426.0 million of installment payments on our Newbuilding Program during the six months ended June 30, 2014. This includes the aggregate payments of $216.2 million for the delivery installments of STI Opera, STI Duchessa, STI Texas City, STI Meraux, STI Chelsea, STI Lexington, STI San Antonio, STI Comandante, STI Brixton, STI Venere and STI Virtus.
Vessel sales
In January 2014, we agreed to sell Noemi and Senatore for aggregate net proceeds of $42.5 million. The sale of Noemi closed in March 2014 and the sale of Senatore closed in April 2014. As part of these sales, we repaid $22.5 million into our 2010 Revolving Credit Facility in March 2014.
In April 2014, we closed on the sale of the 2008 built LR2 product tanker, STI Spirit, for net proceeds of $29.5 million. As part of this sale, we repaid $21.4 million into our STI Spirit Credit Facility in April 2014.
Bank loan drawdowns
In January 2014, we drew down $72.4 million from our 2010 Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, we made the following drawdowns from our secured credit facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 in connection with deliveries under our Newbuilding Program:

Net cash inflow/ (outflow) from operating activities |
Operating cash flows are driven by our results of operations along with movements in working capital. Both of these components were impacted by our growth when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2014 to the same period in 2013. Operating cash inflows, before changes in working capital were $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $5.7 million from a cash inflow of $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our operating fleet grew to an average of 50.0 vessels from an average of 32.7 vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively which resulted in overall revenue growth of $37.8 million. This growth was offset by (i) an increase in vessel operating costs of $10.3 million, (ii) an increase in voyage expenses of $2.0 million, (iii) an increase in charterhire expense of $28.9 million and (iv) an increase in cash general and administrative expenses of $2.9 million.
Including the effect of net movements in working capital of $0.5 million, net cash inflow from operating activities was $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Net cash outflow from investing activities
Net cash outflow from investing activities was $241.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which was a decrease of $82.2 million from a cash outflow of $323.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of (i) $426.0 million of installment payments for vessels under our Newbuilding Program (which includes $216.2 million for the delivery installments of 11 vessels delivered during the period) (ii) $24.3 million of other capitalized costs relating to these newbuilding vessels and (iii) $4.7 million of additional cash consideration for four MRs purchased in November 2013. We issued 3,611,809 shares in November 2013 at an issuance price of $11.83 per share in exchange for the four MRs and the $4.7 million payment represents a one-time post closing adjustment to the purchase price as a result of subsequent changes in the Companys share price.
The outflows mentioned above were offset by the receipt of net proceeds on the sale of our seven VLCCs under construction of $141.7 million and the sales of Noemi, Senatore and STI Spirit of $72.0 million.
Cash outflows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was driven by $315.0 million of installment payments on our vessels under our Newbuilding Program which included the aggregate final installment payments of $84.0 million relating to the deliveries of four vessels under our Newbuilding Program, and an additional $8.6 million of other capitalized costs relating to these vessels.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately $48.2 million after deducting the underwriters discounts, commissions and offering expenses.
All terms mentioned are defined in the indenture.
The Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.75% per year, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August and November of each year, commencing on August 15, 2014. The Senior Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2017 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt and are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. No sinking fund is provided for the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes were issued in minimum denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SBNA.

The outstanding balance at June 30, 2014 was $53.8 million, and we were in compliance with the financial covenants relating to the Senior Notes as of that date.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2019
In June 2014, we completed an offering for $360 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2019 (the Convertible Notes) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. This amount includes the full exercise of the initial purchasers option to purchase an additional $60 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes in connection with the offering. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the exercise of the initial purchasers option to purchase additional Convertible Notes were $349.2 million after deducting the initial purchasers discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses of $11.2 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repurchase $95.0 million of our common stock or 10,127,600 shares at $9.38 per share in a privately negotiated transaction.
All terms mentioned are defined in the indenture.
The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.375% per annum, and are payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year beginning on January 1, 2015. The Convertible Notes will mature on July 1, 2019, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Convertible Notes are convertible in certain circumstances and during certain periods at an initial conversion rate of 82.0075 shares of common stock per $1,000 (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $12.19 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes.
Holders may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2019 only under the following circumstances:
| during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2014 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 15 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 25 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; |
| during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price (as defined below) per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; |
| if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or |
| upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. |
The Company may not redeem the notes prior to July 6, 2017. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at our option, on or after July 6, 2017 if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 15 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 25 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes requires us to comply with certain covenants such as restrictions on consolidations, mergers or sales of assets. Additionally, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
We determined the initial carrying value of the liability component of the Convertible notes to be $298.7 million based on the fair value of a similar liability that does not have any associated conversion feature. We used our Senior Notes issued in May 2014 as the basis for this determination. The difference between the fair value of the liability component and the face value of the Convertible Notes will be amortized over the term of the Convertible Notes under the effective interest method and recorded as part of financial expenses. The residual value of $61.3 million (the conversion feature) has been recorded to additional paid-in capital.
28
On August 22, 2014, the conversion rate of the Convertible Senior Notes was adjusted to reflect the Companys payment of a cash dividend with respect to its common shares. The new conversion rate for the Notes was adjusted to 82.8556 shares of the Companys common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, representing an increase of the prior conversion rate of 0.8481 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes.

On July 18, 2014, Seven and Seven Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Issuer), completed an offering of $125,250,000 in aggregate principal amount of floating rate guaranteed notes due 2019 (the KEXIM Notes) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the Securities Act and in offshore transactions complying with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The KEXIM Notes were issued in connection with the Companys KEXIM Credit Facility and will reduce KEXIMs funding obligations and the Companys borrowing costs under such facility by 1.55% per year. Seven and Seven Ltd. was incorporated for the purpose of facilitating this transaction and servicing the bonds until maturity.
Payment of 100% of all regularly scheduled installments of principal of, and interest on, the KEXIM Notes are guaranteed by The Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM), a statutory juridical entity established under The Export-Import Bank of Korea Act of 1969, as amended, in the Republic of Korea.
The proceeds from the initial sale of the KEXIM Notes were deposited into a deposit account and were periodically distributed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of applicable conditions, to the facility agent under the Companys KEXIM Credit Facility to finance advances to the borrowers thereunder to fund a portion of the purchase price of 18 new vessels, 10 of which are Handymax tankers and eight of which are LR2 tankers. Seven ice class Handymax tankers, STI Comandante, STI Brixton, STI Pimlico, STI Hackney, STI Acton, STI Fulham and STI Camden and four LR2 tankers, STI Elysees, STI Madison, STI Park and STI Orchard, were delivered between May and September 2014. The remaining seven vessels are expected to be delivered to the respective borrowers between November 2014 and December 2014.
The KEXIM Notes are currently listed to the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the SGX-ST). The Notes are not listed on any other securities exchange, listing authority or quotation system.
Derivative Contracts
Interest rate swaps
In March 2014, as a result of the sales of Noemi and Senatore and corresponding debt repayment, we reduced the notional amount on the three interest rate swaps relating to the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility to $30.0 million from $51.0 million. As a result of the reduction, we made a repayment of $0.3 million to settle the liability outstanding as of the date of settlement and we recognized a realized gain on derivative financial instruments of $0.02 million on the statement of income.
Capital Expenditures
Vessel acquisitions and disposals
In August 2014, we reached an agreement with an unrelated third party to purchase an MR product tanker. The purchase price of the vessel is $37.1 million and we took delivery of this vessel in September 2014.

Vessel sales
In December 2013, we designated Noemi, Senatore, Venice and STI Spirit as held for sale. As part of this designation, we recorded a $21.2 million write-down to remeasure these vessels at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
In January 2014, we agreed to sell Noemi and Senatore for aggregate net proceeds of $42.5 million. The sale of Noemi closed in March 2014 and the sale of Senatore closed in April 2014. As part of these sales, we repaid $22.5 million into our 2010 Revolving Credit Facility in March 2014.
In February 2014, we agreed to sell the 2008 built LR2 product tanker, STI Spirit, for net proceeds of $29.5 million. The sale closed in April 2014 and we repaid all amounts due under the STI Spirit Credit Facility of $21.4 million.
Sale of VLCCs Under Construction
In March 2014, we sold seven Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) under construction. As a result of the sale, we received net proceeds of $141.7 million in cash and recorded a gain of $51.4 million. The book value of these assets at the time of sale (primarily consisting of installment payments made to date) was $90.3 million.
As of June 30, 2013, we were still party to the performance guarantees under the related construction contracts with the shipyards. We are working with the buyer and the shipyards to novate the contracts to the buyers. Should the counterparty to this transaction fail to fulfill the obligations set forth under each construction contract, then the shipyards have legal recourse to seek payment from us to fulfill these obligations.
Please see Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLong Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements for a discussion on the impact of these sales on the related credit facilities.
Drydock
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, Venice was drydocked for a total cost of $1.3 million and off-hire for 26 days.
As our fleet matures and expands, our drydock expenses will likely increase. Ongoing costs for compliance with environmental regulations and society classification survey costs are a component of our vessel operating costs. We are not currently aware of any regulatory changes or environmental liabilities that we anticipate will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Dividends
On February 21, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, which was paid on March 26, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of March 11, 2014.
On April 28, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share, which was paid on June 12, 2014 to all shareholders as of May 27, 2014.
On July 28, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, which was paid on September 10, 2014 to all shareholders as of August 22, 2014.
Stock Buy-Back Program
In April 2014, we resumed our stock buyback program. On April 28, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a stock buyback program of $100.0 million of our common stock. On June 27, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a new stock buyback program with authorization to purchase up to $150 million of shares. This program replaces the Companys stock buyback program that was previously announced in April 2014.
On July 28, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a new stock buyback program with authorization to purchase up to $150 million of shares of the Companys common stock. This program replaced the Companys stock buyback program that was previously announced in June 2014, which was terminated effective immediately. We expect to repurchase these shares in the open market, at times and prices that we consider to be appropriate, but we are not obligated under the terms of the program to repurchase any shares.
During 2014 (through the date of this report), we acquired 36,729,136 common shares that are being held as treasury shares, which includes (i) 19,101,536 common shares that were purchased in the open market at an average price of $9.06 per share, (ii) 7,500,000 common shares that were acquired in exchange for 3,422,665 shares in Dorian and (iii) 10,127,600 common shares that were acquired in conjunction with the Companys offering of $360 million of Convertible Senior Notes.

(3) | Represents estimated payments due under our interest rate swaps: |
| The three swaps relating to the 2010 Credit Facility with a total notional amount of $30.0 million carrying an average fixed interest rate of 1.27% during the time period the swap is outstanding (July 1, 2014 through June 2, 2015). The payments due were estimated by offsetting the fixed payments against the estimated interest received using the forward swap curve at June 30, 2014 for each of the swaps. |
| The three swaps relating to the 2011 Credit Facility with a total notional amount of $15.0 million carry an average fixed interest rate of 1.30% during the time period the swap is outstanding (July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015). The payments due were estimated by offsetting the fixed payments against the estimated interest received using the forward swap curve at June 30, 2014 for each of the swaps. |
(4) | As of June 30, 2014, a commitment fee equal to 40% of the applicable margin is payable on the unused daily portion of our 2013 Credit Facility, KEXIM Credit Facility and K-Sure Credit Facility. The 2010 Revolving Credit Facility and the Newbuilding Credit Facility were fully drawn as of June 30, 2014. Additionally, the availability under the 2011 Credit Facility expired on January 2014 and we repaid the full outstanding amount of $21.4 million under the STI Spirit Credit Facility when we sold STI Spirit in April 2014. |

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of June 30, 2014, we were committed to make charter-hire payments to third parties for certain chartered-in vessels. These arrangements are accounted for as operating leases. Additionally, we are committed to make payments on our newbuilding vessel orders and remain party to the performance guarantees relating to the seven VLCCs that were sold in March 2014.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our unhedged variable-rate borrowings. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our operating margins, results of operations and our ability to service our debt. From time to time, we will use interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. The principal objective of these contracts is to minimize the risks and costs associated with our variable-rate debt and are not for speculative or trading purposes. Currently, we have six interest rate swaps which became effective on July 2, 2012 for an aggregate notional amount of $45.0 million. The fair market value of our interest rate swaps was a liability of $0.4 million at June 30, 2014.

(1) | In March 2014, as a result of the sales of Noemi and Senatore and corresponding debt repayment, we reduced the notional amount on three interest rate swaps relating to the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility to $30.0 million from $51.0 million. The notional amounts of the swaps relating to the 2010 Credit Facility have an average fixed rate of 1.27% starting on July 2, 2012 and expiring on June 2, 2015. |

Spot Market Rate Risk
The cyclical nature of the tanker industry causes significant increases or decreases in the revenue that we earn from our vessels, particularly those vessels that operate in the spot market or participate in pools that are concentrated in the spot market such as the Scorpio Group Pools. We currently have four vessels on time charter contracts. Additionally, we have the ability to remove our vessels from the pools on relatively short notice if attractive time charter opportunities arise. A $1,000 per day increase or decrease in spot rates for all of our vessel classes would have increased or decreased our operating income by $8.8 million and $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
Our primary economic environment is the international shipping market. This market utilizes the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency. Consequently, virtually all of our revenues and the majority of our operating expenses are in U.S. Dollars. However, we incur some of our combined expenses in other currencies, particularly the Euro. The amount and frequency of some of these expenses (such as vessel repairs, supplies and stores) may fluctuate from period to period. Depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies will increase the U.S. dollar cost of us paying such expenses. The portion of our business conducted in other currencies could increase in the future, which could expand our exposure to losses arising from currency fluctuations.
There is a risk that currency fluctuations will have a negative effect on our cash flows. We have not entered into any hedging contracts to protect against currency fluctuations. However, we have some ability to shift the purchase of goods and services from one country to another and, thus, from one currency to another, on relatively short notice. We may seek to hedge this currency fluctuation risk in the future.
Inflation
We do not expect inflation to be a significant risk to direct expenses in the current and foreseeable economic environment.
35
CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the accounting policies, we are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The significant judgments and estimates are as follows:
Revenue recognition
We currently generate revenue from vessels operating in pools, in the spot market and on time charter. Revenue recognition for time charters and pools is generally not as complex or as subjective as voyage charters (spot voyages). Time charters are for a specific period of time at a specific rate per day. For long-term time charters, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Pool revenues are determined by the pool managers from the total revenues and expenses of the pool and allocated to pool participants using a mechanism set out in the pool agreement.
Within the shipping industry, there are two methods used to account for spot voyage revenue: (1) ratably over the estimated length of each voyage or (2) completed voyage. The recognition of voyage revenues ratably over the estimated length of each voyage is the most prevalent method of accounting for voyage revenues and the method used by us. Under each method, voyages may be calculated on either a load-to-load or discharge-to-discharge basis. In applying our revenue recognition method, we believe that the discharge-to-discharge basis of calculating voyages more accurately estimates voyage results than the load-to-load basis. In the application of this policy, we do not begin recognizing revenue until (i) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, (ii) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity, (iii) the transactions stage of completion at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably and (iv) the costs incurred and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.
Vessel impairment
We evaluate the carrying amounts of our vessels to determine whether there is any indication that those vessels have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of vessels is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. The projection of cash flows related to vessels is complex and requires us to make various estimates including future freight rates, earnings from the vessels and discount rates. All of these items have been historically volatile. As part of our process of assessing the fair value less costs to sell of the vessel, we obtain vessel valuations from leading, independent and internationally recognized ship brokers on an annual basis or when there is an indication that an asset or assets may be impaired. If an indication of impairment is identified, the need for recognizing an impairment loss is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the vessels to the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use. Likewise, if there is an indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods no longer exists or may have decreased, the need for recognizing an impairment reversal is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the vessels to the latest estimate of recoverable amount.
Vessel lives and residual value
The carrying value of each of our vessels represents its original cost at the time it was delivered or purchased less depreciation and impairment. We depreciate our vessels to their residual value on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 25 years. The estimated useful life of 25 years is managements best estimate and is also consistent with industry practice for similar vessels. The residual value is estimated as the lightweight tonnage of each vessel multiplied by a forecast scrap value per ton. The scrap value per ton is estimated taking into consideration the historical four year scrap market rate average at the balance sheet date.
36
An increase in the estimated useful life of a vessel or in its scrap value would have the effect of decreasing the annual depreciation charge and extending it into later periods. A decrease in the useful life of a vessel or scrap value would have the effect of increasing the annual depreciation charge.
When regulations place significant limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, the vessels useful life is adjusted to end at the date such regulations become effective. The estimated salvage value of the vessels may not represent the fair market value at any one time since market prices of scrap values tend to fluctuate.
Deferred drydock cost
We recognize drydock costs as a separate component of the vessels carrying amounts and amortize the drydock cost on a straight-line basis over the estimated period until the next drydock. We use judgment when estimating the period between drydocks performed, which can result in adjustments to the estimated amortization of the drydock expense. If the vessel is disposed of before the next drydock, the remaining balance of the deferred drydock is written-off and forms part of the gain or loss recognized upon disposal of vessels in the period when contracted. We expect that our vessels will be required to be drydocked approximately every 30 to 60 months for major repairs and maintenance that cannot be performed while the vessels are operating. Costs capitalized as part of the drydock include actual costs incurred at the drydock yard and parts and supplies used in making such repairs. We only include in deferred drydocking costs those direct costs that are incurred as part of the drydocking to meet regulatory requirements, or are expenditures that add economic life to the vessel, increase the vessels earnings capacity or improve the vessels efficiency. Direct costs include shipyard costs as well as the costs of placing the vessel in the shipyard. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs, whether incurred as part of the drydocking or not, are expensed as incurred.

In May 2014, we acquired 7,500,000 of our common shares from an existing shareholder in exchange for the sale to said shareholder of 3,422,665 common shares in Dorian in a privately negotiated transaction. As a result, we recognized a gain of approximately $10.9 million. This item represents a significant non-cash transaction incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
As of June 30, 2013, we accrued $3.7 million for an installment payment on a newbuilding vessel. This payment was made in July 2013. This item represents a significant non-cash transaction incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
1. | General information and significant accounting policies |
Company
Scorpio Tankers Inc. and its subsidiaries (together we, our or the Company) are engaged in the seaborne transportation of refined petroleum products in the international shipping markets. Scorpio Tankers Inc. was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on July 1, 2009. On April 6, 2010, we closed on our initial public offering and the stock currently trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol STNG.
Our owned fleet at June 30, 2014 consisted of 27 tankers (three Handymax tankers, 21 MR tankers, two LR1 tankers and one post-panamax tanker), 26 time chartered-in tankers (eight Handymax tankers, four MR tankers, six LR1 tankers and eight LR2 tankers), and 47 newbuilding product tankers. We also owned 16.4% of Dorian LPG Ltd (Dorian), a liquefied petroleum gas shipping company, at June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, Dorians fleet consisted of three Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs) and one pressurized gas carrier and had 19 VLGCs under construction.
Our vessels are commercially managed by Scorpio Commercial Management S.A.M. (SCM), which is majority owned by the Lolli-Ghetti family of which, Emanuele Lauro, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is a member. SCMs services include securing employment, in pools, in the spot market and on time charters.
Most of our vessels are technically managed by Scorpio Ship Management S.A.M. (SSM), which is majority owned by the Lolli-Ghetti family. SSM facilitates vessel support such as crew, provisions, deck and engine stores, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and other services as necessary to operate the vessels such as drydocks and vetting/inspection under a technical management agreement.
We also have an administrative services agreement with Scorpio Services Holding Ltd. (SSH), which is majority owned by the Lolli-Ghetti family. The administrative services provided under this agreement primarily include accounting, legal compliance, financial, information technology services, and the provision of administrative staff and office space, which are contracted to SCM. We pay our managers fees for these services and reimburse them for direct or indirect expenses that they incur in providing these services.
Basis of accounting
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States dollars (USD or $), which is the functional currency of Scorpio Tankers Inc. and all of its subsidiaries.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Statements, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board using the same accounting policies as adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Adoption of new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations from January 1, 2014
Standards and interpretations adopted during the period
| IFRIC 21 - Levies |
| Amendment to IAS 32 - Financial instruments: Presentation Offsetting financial assets and liabilities |
| Amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets: On recoverable amount disclosures |
| Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement, on novation of derivative |
The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We do not expect that the adoption of these standards in future periods will have a material impact on our financial statements.
New accounting policies
Convertible debt instruments
In June 2014, we completed an offering for $360 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2019 (the Convertible Notes) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (as further described in Note 11). This amount includes the full exercise of the initial purchasers option to purchase an additional $60 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes in connection with the offering.
Under International Accounting Standard 32 (IAS 32), we must separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments (such as the Convertible Notes) in a manner that reflects the issuers economic interest cost. Under this methodology, the instrument is split between its liability and equity components upon initial recognition. The fair value of the liability is measured first, by estimating the fair value of a similar liability that does not have any associated equity conversion option. This becomes the liabilitys carrying amount at initial recognition, which is recorded as part of Debt on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The equity component (the conversion feature) is assigned the residual amount after deducting the amount separately determined for the liability component from the fair value of the instrument as a whole and is recorded as part of additional paid-in capital within stockholders equity on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Issuance costs are allocated proportionately between the liability and equity components.
The value of the equity component is treated as an original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the liability component of the notes. Accordingly, we are required to record non-cash interest expense as a result of the amortization of the discounted carrying value of the Convertible Notes to their face amount over the term of the Convertible Notes. IAS 32 therefore requires interest to include both the current periods amortization of the debt discount and the instruments coupon interest.
Earnings Per Share
We apply the if-converted method when determining diluted earnings per share. This requires the assumption that all potential ordinary shares have been converted into ordinary shares at the beginning of the period or, if not in existence at the beginning of the period, the date of the issue of the financial instrument or the granting of the rights by which they are granted. Under this method, once potential ordinary shares are converted into ordinary shares during the period, the dividends, interest and other expense associated with those potential ordinary shares will no longer be incurred. The effect of conversion, therefore, is to increase profit (or reduce losses) attributable to ordinary equity holders as well as the number of shares in issue.
F-9
Diluted earnings per share incorporates the potential dilutive impact of our Convertible Notes which were issued in June 2014 (as further described in Note 11). Conversion will not be assumed for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share if the effect would be anti-dilutive.
2. | Vessels and drydock |
Vessel held for sale
In December 2013, we designated Noemi, Senatore, Venice and STI Spirit as held for sale. As part of this designation, we recorded a $21.2 million write-down to remeasure these vessels at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Their revised carrying amount of $82.6 million was then reclassified from Vessels to Vessels Held for Sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013.
In January 2014, we agreed to sell Noemi and Senatore for aggregate net proceeds of $42.5 million. The sale of Noemi closed in March 2014 and the sale of Senatore closed in April 2014. These sales resulted in a $42.5 million reduction in Vessels Held for Sale. As part of these sales, we repaid $22.5 million into our 2010 Revolving Credit Facility in March 2014. This repayment and the resultant impact on this credit facility are discussed further in Note 11.
In April 2014, we closed on the sale of the 2008 built LR2 product tanker, STI Spirit, for net proceeds of $29.5 million which resulted in the commensurate reduction in Vessels Held for Sale. As part of this sale, we repaid $21.4 million into our STI Spirit Credit Facility in April 2014. The repayment and the resultant impact on this credit facility are discussed further in Note 11.
In April 2014, Venice incurred $1.3 million of drydock costs that have been capitalized as part of the carrying amount of that vessel as of June 30, 2014.

(1) | After delivery, this vessel began a time charter for two years, which also includes a profit sharing mechanism whereby earnings in excess of the base time charter rate will be split between the Company and charterer. |
(2) | After delivery, this vessel began a time charter for one year, which also includes a profit sharing mechanism whereby earnings in excess of the base time charter rate will be split between the Company and charterer. |
As a result of these deliveries, we reclassified $384.2 million from Vessels under construction to Vessels during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Carrying values of vessels and vessels under construction
At each balance sheet date, we review the carrying amounts of vessels and related drydock costs, vessels under construction (discussed in Note 3) and vessels held for sale to determine if there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of these assets is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. As part of this evaluation, we consider certain indicators of potential impairment, such as market conditions including forecast time charter rates and values for second hand product tankers, discounted projected vessel operating cash flows and the Companys overall business plans.
At June 30, 2014, we reviewed the carrying amount of our vessels to determine whether there was an indication that these assets had suffered an impairment. First, we compared the carrying amount of our vessels to their fair values less costs to sell (determined by taking into consideration two independent broker valuations). If the carrying amount of our vessels was greater than the fair values less costs to sell, we prepared a value in use calculation where we estimated the vessels future cash flows based on a combination of the latest forecast, published time charter rates for the next three years, a steady growth rate in freight rates in each period thereafter which is based on managements long term view of the market, and our best estimate of vessel operating expenses and drydock costs. These cash flows were then discounted to their present value using an estimated weighted average cost of capital of 8.45%. The results of these tests were as follows:
At June 30, 2014, we had 27 vessels in our fleet and 47 vessels under construction:
| One vessel was held for sale and carried at its fair value less costs to sell |
| Nine vessels had fair values less costs to sell in excess of their carrying amount. |
| 17 vessels had fair values less costs to sell less than their carrying amount. We prepared a value in use calculation for each these vessels which resulted in no impairment being recognized. |
| Seven vessels under construction had fair values less costs to sell exceeding their carrying amount. |
| One vessel under construction had a fair value less costs to sell less than its carrying amount. We prepared a value in use calculation for this vessel which resulted in no impairment being recognized. |
| We did not obtain independent broker valuations for the remaining 39 vessels under construction. To assess their carrying values, we prepared value in use calculations which resulted in no impairment indicators. |

Sale of VLCCs under Construction
In March 2014, we sold seven Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) under construction. As a result of the sale, we received net proceeds of $141.7 million in cash, and we recorded a gain of $51.4 million. The book value of these assets at the time of sale (primarily consisting of installment payments made to date) was $90.3 million.
As of June 30, 2014, we were still party to the performance guarantees under the related construction contracts with the shipyards. We are working with the buyer and the shipyards to novate the contracts to the buyers. Should the counterparty to this transaction fail to fulfill the obligations set forth under each construction contract, then the shipyards have legal recourse to seek payment from us to fulfill these obligations.
Capitalized interest
In accordance with IAS 23 Borrowing Costs, applicable interest costs are capitalized during the period that vessels are under construction. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we capitalized interest expense for vessels under construction of $7.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization was 3.8%. We cease capitalizing interest when the vessels reach the location and condition necessary to operate in the manner intended by management.
Newbuilding Program
As of June 30, 2014, we had a total of 47 newbuilding product tanker orders with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd. of South Korea, (HMD), SPP Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. of South Korea, (SPP) , Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., (HSHI), and Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., (DSME), which included 23 MRs, 12 Handymax ice class-1A vessels and 12 LR2s for an aggregate purchase price of $1,720.1 million. Of this amount, $539.3 million in cash has been paid and $49.7 million in common stock has been issued, as of that date.

2013 purchase of four MRs in exchange for common shares
In November 2013, we issued 3,611,809 shares at an issuance price of $11.83 per share in exchange for the transfer of ownership to the Company of four MR product tankers under construction. The agreement stipulated that if the Companys share price was not maintained at or above the issuance price for 20 days in the 180 day period following the closing date, then the Company will issue additional shares or pay cash to increase the value of the consideration to the value received at the closing date. In May 2014, we paid additional cash consideration of $4.7 million to the counterparties of this transaction as a result of this agreement. This one-time adjustment was recorded against additional paid-in capital.
4. | Investment in Associate |
Investment in Dorian LPG Ltd.
As of June 30, 2014, we owned 9,392,083, shares or approximately 16.4% of the outstanding shares of Dorian. Dorians shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol LPG and closed at $22.99 per share on June 30, 2014.
In February 2014, Dorian completed a follow on offering of common shares which resulted in the dilution of our ownership percentage to 26.5% from 30.0%.
In April 2014, Dorian effected a one for five reverse stock split of its common shares, reducing our total number of shares held in Dorian. Concurrently with this reverse stock split, Dorian issued 1,412,698 shares in a private placement to an investor that is unrelated to us. Accordingly, our ownership percentage in Dorian reduced to 25.7% from 26.5% after giving effect to this private placement.
In May 2014, we acquired 7,500,000 of our common shares from an existing shareholder in exchange for the sale to said shareholder of 3,422,665 common shares in Dorian in a privately negotiated transaction. As a result, we recognized a gain of approximately $10.9 million. Accordingly, our ownership percentage in Dorian reduced to 16.4% from 25.7% after giving effect to this transaction.
Given our ownership percentage relative to other shareholders, we have determined that despite the decrease in our ownership, we continue to maintain significant influence over Dorians financial and operating policy decisions.

(1) | These transactions relate to revenue earned in the Scorpio LR2, Scorpio Panamax, Scorpio MR, and Scorpio Handymax Tanker Pools (the Pools), which are owned by Scorpio LR2 Pool Limited, Scorpio Panamax Tanker Pool Limited, Scorpio MR Pool Limited, and Scorpio Handymax Tanker Pool Limited, respectively. The Pools are related party affiliates. |
(2) | These transactions represent technical management fees charged by SSM, a related party affiliate, which are included in vessel operating costs in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. We believe our technical management fees for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were at arms-length rates as they were based on contracted rates that were the same as those charged to other vessels managed by SSM at the time the management agreements were entered into. In June 2013, this fee was increased to $685 per vessel per day from $548 per vessel per day for technical management. |
(3) | These transactions represent the expense due to SCM for commissions related to the commercial management services provided by SCM under the Commercial Management Agreement (see description below). Each vessel pays a commission of 1.25% of their gross revenue when not in the Pools. When our vessels are in the Pools, SCM, the pool manager, charges fees of $300 per vessel per day with respect to our Panamax/LR1 vessels, $250 per vessel per day with respect to our LR2 vessels, and $325 per vessel per day with respect to each of our Handymax and MR vessels, plus 1.50% commission on gross revenues per charter fixture. These are the same fees that SCM charges other vessels in these pools, including third party owned vessels, and they are included in voyage expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. |
(4) | We have an Administrative Services Agreement with Scorpio Services Holding Limited, or SSH, for the provision of administrative staff and office space, and administrative services, including accounting, legal compliance, financial and information technology services. SSH is a related party to us. We reimburse SSH for the reasonable direct or indirect expenses it incurs in providing us with the administrative services described above. SSH also arranges vessel sales and purchases for us. The services provided to us by SSH may be sub-contracted to other entities within the Scorpio Group. |
Additionally, our Commercial Management Agreement with SCM includes a daily flat fee charged payable to SCM for the vessels that are not in one of the pools managed by SCM. The flat fee is $250 per day for Panamaxes/LR1 and LR2 vessels and $300 per day for Handymax and MR vessels.
| The expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $1.5 million included the flat fee of $0.4 million charged by SCM and administrative fees of $1.1 million charged by SSH and were included in voyage expenses and general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. |
| The expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $0.9 million included the flat fee of $0.2 million charged by SCM and administrative fees of $0.7 million charged by SSH and were included in voyage expenses and general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. |
Additionally, we issued 213,000 shares of restricted stock to SSH employees for no cash consideration in May 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized $59,435 of expense relating to this issuance, which was included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. See Note 9 for further description of this issuance and its vesting conditions.
(5) | The Administrative Services Agreement with SSH includes a fee for arranging vessel purchases and sales on our behalf equal to 1% of the gross purchase or sale price, payable upon the consummation of any such purchase or sale. These fees are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the related vessel for a vessel purchase and are included as part of the gain or loss on sale for a vessel disposal. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid SSH an aggregate fee of $15.7 million, which consisted of $1.7 million related to the purchase and delivery of five newbuilding vessels in 2014 and $14.0 million relating to the purchase and sale of our seven VLCCs. Additionally, $2.0 million was accrued at June 30, 2014 (and paid in July 2014) related to the purchase and delivery of six newbuilding vessels in 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we paid SSH an aggregate fee of $1.1 million related to the deliveries of three newbuilding vessels. |

Seasonality
The tanker market is typically stronger in the winter months of the northern hemisphere as a result of increased oil consumption but weaker in the summer months of the northern hemisphere as a result of lower oil consumption and refinery maintenance. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns during the winter months tend to disrupt vessel scheduling. The oil price volatility resulting from these factors has historically led to increased oil trading activities in the winter months. As a result revenue generated by our vessels have historically been weaker during April September and stronger during October March.

Stock buyback plan
In April 2014, we resumed purchasing shares under our stock buyback program that was authorized in July 2010. Additionally, in April 2014, the board of directors approved a new stock buyback program with authorization to purchase up to $100.0 million of shares of the Companys common stock, replacing the program announced in July 2010.
In June 2014, the board of directors approved a new stock buyback program with authorization to purchase up to $150 million of shares of the Companys common stock. This program replaced the Companys stock buyback program that was approved in April 2014.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired 22,626,385 common shares at an average price $9.26 per share that are being held as treasury shares, which includes (i) 4,998,785 common shares that were purchased in the open market under the aforementioned buyback plans at an average price of $8.87 per share, (ii) 7,500,000 common shares that were acquired in exchange for 3,422,665 shares in Dorian and (iii) 10,127,600 common shares that were acquired in conjunction with the Companys offering of $360 million of Convertible Senior Notes (as described in Note 11).
Dividend Payments
In February 2014, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, which was paid on March 26, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of March 11, 2014.
In April 2014, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share, which was paid on June 12, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of May 27, 2014.
Shares outstanding
In May 2014, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Companys Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized common stock to 400,000,000 from 250,000,000. Accordingly, we currently have 425,000,000 registered shares of which 400,000,000 are designated as common shares with a par value of $0.01 and 25,000,000 designated as preferred shares with a par value of $0.01,
As of June 30, 2014 we had 178,534,162 shares outstanding. These shares provide the holders with rights to dividends and voting rights.

The dilutive effect of 3,285,949 and 722,800 shares of restricted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is related to 11,519,196 and 5,653,972 unvested restricted shares, respectively.
Potentially dilutive securities (relating to the conversion of the $360.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes) representing 163,162 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. These common shares represent the pro-rated amount of 29,532,404 potential common shares for one day during the six months ended June 30, 2014. See Note 11 for further description of these notes.

2010 Revolving Credit Facility
In January 2014, we drew down $72.4 million from the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility. In March 2014, we paid $22.5 million into this facility as a result of the sales of Noemi and Senatore. As a result of this repayment, the availability of this facility was reduced by such amount and the quarterly reduction was reduced to $2.1 million from $3.1 million per quarter. We also wrote-off a total of $0.2 million of deferred financing fees as part of these debt repayments.
The outstanding balance at June 30, 2014 was $45.7 million and was fully drawn. As of December 31, 2013, there was no outstanding balance, and there was $72.4 million available to draw.
We were in compliance with the financial covenants relating to this facility as of June 30, 2014.
F-22
2011 Credit Facility
In January 2014, we drew down $52.0 million from the 2011 Credit Facility. In connection with this draw down, STI Duchessa, STI Le Rocher and STI Larvotto were provided as collateral under the facility. The outstanding balance at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $112.9 million and $64.0 million, respectively and the availability under this credit facility expired on January 31, 2014. We were in compliance with the financial covenants relating to this facility as of June 30, 2014.
STI Spirit Credit Facility
In April 2014, we sold STI Spirit and repaid the outstanding amount due under the STI Spirit Credit Facility of $21.4 million.
Newbuilding Credit Facility
In March 2014, we converted the Newbuilding Credit Facility from a term loan to a reducing revolving credit facility. This gives us the ability to draw down and repay the available commitments under the facility when needed. All other terms and definitions remain unchanged. The amount available is reduced by $1.5 million each quarter until the maturity date in June 2019. This transaction has been accounted for as a debt modification and accordingly, no deferred financing fees were written off.
The amount available under this facility was $80.8 million and was fully drawn as of June 30, 2014. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2013 was $83.8 million.
We were in compliance with the financial covenants relating to this facility as of June 30, 2014.

We refer to this credit facility as our K-Sure Credit Facility.
F-23
Drawdowns under the K-Sure Credit Facility may occur in connection with the delivery of certain of our newbuilding vessels as specified in the agreement. The amount of each drawdown shall not exceed the lesser of 60% of the newbuilding contract price and 74% of the fair market value of the relevant vessel.

Repayments will commence in July 2015 for the K-Sure Tranche and six months after the delivery of the last vessel to be acquired for the Commercial Tranche. The Commercial Tranche matures on the sixth anniversary of the delivery date of the last vessel to be acquired and the K-Sure Tranche matures in January 2027 assuming the Commercial Tranche is refinanced through that date.
Borrowings under the K-Sure tranche bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.25%. Borrowings under the Commercial Tranche bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% from the effective date of the agreement to the fifth anniversary thereof and 3.75% thereafter until the maturity date in respect of the Commercial Tranche. A commitment fee equal to 40% of the applicable margin is payable on the unused daily portion of the credit facility.
In addition to restrictions imposed upon the owners of the vessels that are collateralized under this credit facility (such as, limitations on liens and limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness), our K-Sure Credit Facility includes financial covenants that require us to maintain:

The outstanding balance at June 30, 2014 was $39.6 million and we were in compliance with the financial covenants relating to this facility at that date.
KEXIM Credit Facility
In February 2014, we executed a senior secured term loan facility with a group of financial institutions led by DNB Bank ASA and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) and from the Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM) for a total loan facility of $429.6 million. This facility includes commitments from KEXIM of up to $300.6 million (the KEXIM Tranche) and a group of financial institutions led by DNB Bank ASA and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) of up to $129.0 million (the Commercial Tranche). We refer to this credit facility as our KEXIM Credit Facility.
Drawdowns under the KEXIM Credit Facility may occur in connection with the delivery of 18 of our newbuilding vessels as specified in the loan agreement. The amount of each drawdown shall not exceed the lesser of 60% of the newbuilding contract price and 74% of the fair market value of the relevant vessel. Drawdowns are available until the earlier of (i) the delivery date of the last vessel specified in the agreement to be acquired, (ii) March 31, 2015 and (iii) the date on which the total commitments under the loan are fully borrowed, cancelled or terminated.
Repayments will be made in equal consecutive semi-annual repayment installments in accordance with a 15 year repayment profile under the Commercial Tranche and a 12 year repayment profile under the KEXIM Tranche. Repayments will commence on the next semi-annual date falling after the weighted average delivery date of the vessels specified under the facility for the KEXIM Tranche and on the next semi-annual date falling after the final delivery date of the vessels specified under the facility for the Commercial Tranche.
F-24
The Commercial Tranche matures on the sixth anniversary of the delivery date of the last vessel specified under the loan and the KEXIM Tranche matures on the twelfth anniversary of the weighted average delivery date of the vessels specified under the loan assuming the Commercial Tranche is refinanced through that date.
Borrowings under the KEXIM tranche bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%. Borrowings under the Commercial Tranche bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% from the effective date of the agreement to the fifth anniversary thereof and 3.75% thereafter until the maturity date in respect of the Commercial Tranche. A commitment fee equal to 40% of the applicable margin is payable on the unused daily portion of the credit facility.
In addition to restrictions imposed upon the owners of the vessels that are collateralized under this credit facility (such as, limitations on liens and limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness), our KEXIM Credit Facility includes financial covenants that require us to maintain:
| The ratio of net debt to total capitalization no greater than 0.60 to 1.00. |

The KEXIM Notes were issued in July 2014 and are further described in Note 14.
In June 2014, we drew down $37.5 million from the KEXIM Credit Facility. In connection with this draw down, STI Comandante and STI Brixton were provided as collateral under the facility. The outstanding balance at June 30, 2014 was $37.5 million and we were in compliance with the financial covenants relating to this facility as of that date.
Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2020
On May 12, 2014, we issued $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due May 2020 (the Senior Notes) and on June 9, 2014, we issued an additional $3,750,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes when the underwriters partially exercised their option to purchase additional Senior Notes on the same terms and conditions. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately $48.2 million after deducting the underwriters discounts, commissions and offering expenses.
All terms mentioned are defined in the indenture.
The Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.75% per year, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August and November of each year, commencing on August 15, 2014. The Senior Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2017 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt and are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. No sinking fund is provided for the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes were issued in minimum denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SBNA.
The Senior Notes requires us to comply with certain covenants, including financial covenants; restrictions on consolidations, mergers or sales of assets and prohibitions on paying dividends or returning capital to equity holders if a
F-25
covenant breach or an event of default has occurred or would occur as a result of such payment. If the Company undergoes a change of control, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a change of control repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the change of control purchase date.
The financial covenants include:
| Net borrowings shall not equal or exceed 70% of total assets. |
| Net worth shall always exceed $650.0 million. |
The outstanding balance at June 30, 2014 was $53.8 million, and we were in compliance with the financial covenants relating to the Senior Notes as of that date.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2019
In June 2014, we completed an offering for $360 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2019 (the Convertible Notes) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. This amount includes the full exercise of the initial purchasers option to purchase an additional $60 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes in connection with the offering. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the exercise of the initial purchasers option to purchase additional Convertible Notes were $349.2 million after deducting the initial purchasers discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses of $11.2 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repurchase $95.0 million of our common stock or 10,127,600 shares at $9.38 per share in a privately negotiated transaction.
All terms mentioned are defined in the indenture.
The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.375% per annum, and are payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year beginning on January 1, 2015. The Convertible Notes will mature on July 1, 2019, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Convertible Notes are convertible in certain circumstances and during certain periods at an initial conversion rate of 82.0075 shares of common stock per $1,000 (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $12.19 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes.
Holders may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2019 only under the following circumstances:
| during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2014 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 15 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 25 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; |
| during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price (as defined below) per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; |
| if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or |
| upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. |
F-26
The Company may not redeem the notes prior to July 6, 2017. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at our option, on or after July 6, 2017 if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 15 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 25 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes requires us to comply with certain covenants such as restrictions on consolidations, mergers or sales of assets. Additionally, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
We determined the initial carrying value of the liability component of the Convertible notes to be $298.7 million based on the fair value of a similar liability that does not have any associated conversion feature. We used our Senior Notes issued in May 2014 as the basis for this determination. The difference between the fair value of the liability component and the face value of the Convertible Notes will be amortized over the term of the Convertible Notes under the effective interest method and recorded as part of financial expenses. The residual value of $61.3 million (the conversion feature) has been recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Interest rate swaps
In March 2014, as a result of the sales of Noemi and Senatore and corresponding debt repayment, we reduced the notional amount on three interest rate swaps relating to the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility to $30.0 million from $51.0 million. As a result of the reduction, we made a repayment of $0.3 million to settle the liability outstanding as of the date of settlement and we recognized a realized gain on derivative financial instruments of $0.02 million on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet:

Derivative financial instruments in 2014 and 2013 consisted of (i) interest rate swaps, recorded at the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on the applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates to determine the fair value, and (ii) profit or loss sharing agreements on time charter-in agreements with third parties, where the fair value of these instruments is determined by comparing published time charter rates to the charterhire rate and discounting those cash flows to their estimated present value.
IFRS 13 requires classifications of fair value measures into Levels 1, 2 and 3. Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). In accordance with IFRS 13, the fair value measurement for the interest rate swaps and profit or loss sharing agreements for the six months ended June 30 2014 and 2013 were classified as Level 2.
The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities are approximately equal to their carrying values.

The KEXIM Notes were issued in connection with the Companys KEXIM Credit Facility and will reduce KEXIMs funding obligations and the Companys borrowing costs under such facility by 1.55% per year. Seven and Seven Ltd. was incorporated for the purpose of facilitating this transaction and servicing the bonds until maturity.

The proceeds from the initial sale of the KEXIM Notes were deposited into a deposit account and will be periodically distributed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of applicable conditions, to the facility agent under the Companys KEXIM Credit Facility to finance advances to the borrowers thereunder to fund a portion of the purchase price of 18 new vessels, 10 of which are Handymax tankers and eight of which are LR2 tankers.
