LONDON, Aug. 11, 2020 /CNW/ - Atlas Corp. ("Atlas") (NYSE: ATCO) announced today its results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Comments from Management
Bing Chen, CEO of Atlas, commented, "I am proud of how our businesses responded to the unprecedented global challenges during the second quarter and truly appreciate our entire team's efforts in delivering best-in-class customer service. The results are evident in Seaspan's fully contracted fleet and our successful transfer of over 800 crew members during global port challenges. Likewise, we continue to deliver operational excellence at APR to achieve COD on three new power plants despite the logistical challenges around the world. Atlas' resilient business model, with $4.6 billion of long-term contracted revenue, is well positioned to take advantage of future opportunities as the market shock accelerates consolidation in the containership space, as well as the need for temporary and fast-track power."

Ryan Courson, CFO of Atlas, said, "The recent announcement of our agreement to acquire two additional containerships on long-term charters, marks approximately $3.4 billion in capital deployed since the beginning of 2018. During this period, we have prudently allocated capital toward deleveraging our balance sheet, reinvesting into assets with strong risk-adjusted returns, and returning cash to our investors through our dividend. We have accomplished all of this while remaining disciplined with our balance sheet, finishing the quarter with over $380 million of liquidity and also achieving an external investment grade credit rating on a central component of Seaspan's capital structure. We remain confident in the resiliency of our business model, tightening and reaffirming our 2020 guidance for Seaspan and APR respectively, and delivering FFO per Share of $0.64 during the second quarter."

Financial Results Summary

Revenue increased by 32.1% to $363.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. 21.8% of the increase in revenue was due to a full quarter of APR revenue contribution. Seaspan revenue growth contributed 10.3% of the increase, primarily due to the delivery of eleven vessels between December 2019 and April 2020, which contributed $26.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA was $238.9 million, a $65.1 million increase relative to the same period in 2019. This was driven by the full quarter contribution of APR and increased Seaspan contribution from the delivery of eleven vessels noted above, in addition to lower operating lease expense due to lower LIBOR.

FFO increased by $69.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to improvements in Adjusted EBITDA and lower interest expense from improvements to Seaspan's cost of debt and lower LIBOR.

Liquidity
As of June 30, 2020, Atlas had total liquidity of $382.9 million, consisting of $221.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $161.1 million of availability under undrawn committed revolving credit facilities. As of June 30, 2020, Atlas had an unencumbered asset base including 30 vessels with a book value of $1.05 billion(1).

(1)

Balance Sheet value as at June 30, 2020.

 

Common Shares Outstanding
As of August 11, 2020, there were 246.8 million common shares outstanding, excluding Holdback Shares ("Holdback Shares"). During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the APR Sellers agreed to surrender their rights to receive 0.6 million Holdback Shares as part of purchase price adjustments. There are now 6.1 million Holdback Shares reserved for future issuance. The amount of Holdback Shares to be issued to the APR sellers will be determined upon settlement of certain purchase price adjustments and specified indemnification obligations over a period of between 90 days to five years after the date of acquisition.

(2)

The change in contingent consideration asset relates to the mark to market impact of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of APR Energy. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the sellers of APR Energy agreed to compensate the Company for losses on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction related to cash generated from specified contracts less relevant costs (the "Contingent Asset Arrangement"). The indemnification will end on April 30, 2022 or earlier if certain other conditions in the agreement are met. The value of compensation receivable from the sellers is accounted for as a contingent consideration asset.

(3)

Loss on foreign currency repatriation relates to losses recognized on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction, where compensation is receivable through the Contingent Asset Arrangement. Compensation is made by the sellers in cash or return of previously issued equity, which is offset against the contingent consideration asset when received and therefore, is not reflected in the income statement.

(4)

Elimination and other include amounts relating to preferred shares, corporate headquarters and elimination of intercompany transactions.

Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the SEC. These non-GAAP financial measures which include FFO, FFO Per Share, Diluted (FFO Per Share), and Adjusted EBITDA, are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered substitutes for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

FFO and FFO Per Share represents net earnings adjusted for depreciation and amortization, gain on sale, unrealized change in fair value of derivative instruments, loss on foreign currency repatriation, change in contingent consideration asset and certain other items that the Company believes are not representative of its operating performance. FFO and FFO Per Share is a useful performance measure because it excludes those items that the Company believes are not representative of its performance. Please refer to the Funds From Operation section of this release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to net earnings attributable to shareholders.

FFO and FFO Per Share are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings attributable to shareholders, earnings per share or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP. In addition, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairments, write-down and loss on sale, unrealized gains/(losses) on derivative instruments, loss on foreign currency repatriation, realized losses on interest rate swaps, realized losses on interest rate swap amendments and terminations, and change in contingent consideration asset.

Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing the Company's results of operations. The Company believes that this measure is useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. The Company also believes that this performance measure can be useful in comparing its results with those of other companies, even though other companies may not calculate this measure in the same way. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP.

The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact those GAAP financial measures are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items include, but are not limited to, income tax expense, gain on sale, loss on derivative instruments, change in contingent consideration asset and loss on foreign currency repatriation. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.

Net Debt represents total borrowings before debt discount and fair value adjustments, net of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Total Borrowings represents long-term debt and other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees.

Net Debt and Total Borrowings provide useful information to investors in assessing the Company's leverage. The Company believes this measure is useful in assessing the Company's ability to settle contracted debt payments. The Company also believes that this leverage measurement can be useful in comparing its position with those of other companies, even though other companies may not calculate this measure in the same way. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Debt and Total Borrowings is the total of long-term debt and other financing arrangements. Net debt and Total Borrowings are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to long-term debt and other financing arrangements or any other indicator of the Company's financial position required to be reported by GAAP.
