The unaudited financial result of Latvian Shipping Company and its subsidiaries (LSC Group) for the twelve months of 2015 amounted to a loss of 7.09 million USD. This is primarily due to a loss arising from the reconsolidation of SIA “LASCO Investment” group (LASCO Investment) and subsequent write down of the real estate asset values owned by LASCO Investment with total negative financial effect in the amount of USD 22.74 million.
The LSC Group turnover mainly consisted of income from the fleet as
well as a small portion of income generated from third party tanker
technical management and real estate rent. The total income of the
fleet for 2015 was 91.44 million USD, while the LSC Group fleet’s
net voyage result for 2015 was 82.56 million USD. In 2015 the LSC
Group achieved a positive result from chartering and other
activities achieving a net profit before tax and exceptionals of
18.85 million USD.
The key financial indicators for the last three financial years are
as follows (million USD)
2015 was important year for the company as a series of settlement
agreements were signed with a number of individuals, including
Former Management Board and Supervisory Council members thus
terminating unwanted disputes and allowing the Group to concentrate
on its core business.
There was no change in the LSC Group’s commercial fleet of sixteen
vessels during 2015, however the LSC subsidiary “LSC
Shipmanagement” Ltd was managing an additional four third-party
tankers, bringing the total to twenty vessels. In the first half of
2016, LSC Shipmanagement” Ltd will add three newly built oil and
chemical tankers under technical management. The first of the three
ships was received in January. The next addition to the fleet is
expected in April and in May. The increase in the technical
management of third-party vessels is testament to the competency
and professionalism of LSC Group staff and is generating additional
income for the Group.
At the end of the reporting period 88% (fourteen vessels) of the
LSC Group’s fleet were employed on period business (time-charter).
The average employment period for the portion of the fleet on time
charter plus bareboat charter as at the end of reporting period was
7.2 months.
Additional information is available in the attached unaudited
shortened consolidated financial statement.
