CEO Statement
Paul Wogan, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The Partnership’s fleet performed strongly in the second quarter of 2021, with uptime of close to 100%, allowing us to safely deliver nearly one million tonnes (“mt”) of LNG to customers around the world. We also repaid $18.8 million of debt, bringing the total amount of debt retired in 2021 to $54.8 million. In addition, within the last month we took advantage of a strong LNG shipping market and booked four new multi-month charters with leading customers at attractive rates, that also allowed us to lock in 100.0% charter coverage for the remainder of 2021 and 69.2% for 2022. This fixed charter coverage along with the cash flows generated during the first half of 2021 more than covers all the Partnership’s operating, overhead, dry-docking and debt service requirements for 2021 and 2022.
Our capital allocation for 2021 will continue to prioritize debt repayment to reduce further our breakeven costs over time. We also expect continued reductions to our operating and overhead expenses. With these ongoing improvements to our cost base and continued high levels of service and reliability, we believe that the Partnership continues to position itself to be a leader in the short-term market for LNG shipping.”
New Charter Agreements
During the second quarter of 2021, GasLog Partners entered into a one-year time charter agreement with TotalEnergies for the GasLog Sydney, a 155,000 cubic meter (“cbm”) tri-fuel diesel electric (“TFDE”) LNG carrier, built in 2013. In addition, following the conclusion of the Solaris’ initial multi-year time charter with Shell in late July 2021, its contract was extended for approximately eight months, through the end of the first quarter of 2022. The Solaris is a 155,000 cbm TFDE LNG carrier built in 2014. Finally, a new time charter agreement was signed with Cheniere for the Methane Heather Sally, a 145,000 cbm steam turbine propulsion (“Steam”) LNG carrier built in 2007. The charter has a minimum duration of one year, with Cheniere having the option, until late August, to extend the charter for an additional one or two years at varying rates.
Post quarter-end, in July 2021, GasLog Partners rechartered an additional vessel with TotalEnergies, the 155,000 cbm TFDE vessel GasLog Seattle, built in 2013, again for a period of approximately twelve months.

There were 1,283 available days for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 1,365 available days for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The year-over-year decrease in available days is attributable to 82 off-hire days due to the scheduled dry-dockings of three vessels in the second quarter of 2021 (compared to nil in the second quarter of 2020).
Management classifies the Partnership’s vessels from a commercial point of view into two categories: (a) spot fleet and (b) long-term fleet. The spot fleet includes all vessels under charter party agreements with an initial duration of less than (or equal to) five years (excluding optional periods), while the long-term fleet comprises all vessels with charter party agreements of an initial duration of more than five years (excluding optional periods).
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, an analysis of available days, revenues and voyage expenses and commissions per category is presented below:

(*) Available days represent total calendar days in the period after deducting off-hire days where vessels are undergoing dry-dockings and unavailable days (i.e. days before and after a dry-docking where the vessel has limited practical ability for chartering opportunities).
Revenues decreased by $14.0 million, from $84.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, to $70.4 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is mainly attributable to the expirations of the initial multi-year time charters of three of our Steam vessels with Shell in 2020 and early 2021 (which were at higher rates compared to their current re-contracted rates) and a decrease in revenues resulting from the 82 off-hire days due to the scheduled dry-dockings of three of our vessels in the second quarter of 2021 (compared to none in the same period in 2020).
Vessel operating costs increased by $3.1 million, from $16.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, to $20.0 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in vessel operating costs is mainly attributable to an increase of $1.7 million in technical maintenance expenses primarily in connection with the dry-dockings of three of our vessels in the second quarter of 2021 (compared to none in the same period in 2020) and an increase of $0.9 million in crew costs, mainly as a result of COVID-19 restrictions (increased costs for travelling and quarantines) and the unfavorable movement of the EUR/USD exchange rate compared to the same period in 2020. Daily operating costs per vessel (after excluding calendar days for the Solaris, the operating costs of which are covered by the charterers) increased from $13,261 per day for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 to $15,734 per day for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, which includes dry-docking related costs of $1,109 per day in the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.9 million, from $4.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, to $3.5 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to a decrease of $0.8 million in administrative services fees, in connection with the decrease of the annual fee payable to GasLog in 2021 by approximately $0.2 million per vessel per year. The decrease in the annual fee was driven by organizational changes and corporate savings at GasLog. As a result, daily general and administrative expenses decreased from $3,238 per vessel ownership day for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, to $2,554 per vessel ownership day for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $15.4 million, from $60.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to $45.0 million in the same period in 2021, is attributable to the decrease in revenues of $14.0 million and increased operating expenses of $3.1 million described above, partially offset by an aggregate decrease of $1.8 million in voyage and general and administrative expenses.
Financial costs decreased by $4.0 million, from $13.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, to $9.1 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in financial costs is mainly attributable to a decrease of $3.8 million in interest expense on loans, due to the lower London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rates in the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2021, as well as the reduced debt balances year-over-year. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, we had an average of $1,346.2 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 3.4%, compared to an average of $1,261.1 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 2.4% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.
Gain on derivatives decreased by $0.8 million, from a gain of $0.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 to a loss of $0.4 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is attributable to a net increase of $1.3 million in realized loss on derivatives held for trading (in 2021, interest rate swaps only), partially offset by a net increase of $0.5 million in unrealized gain from the mark-to-market valuation of derivatives held for trading which were carried at fair value through profit or loss.
The increase in profit of $6.5 million from $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 to $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 is mainly attributable to an impairment loss of $18.8 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the aforementioned decrease of $4.0 million in financial costs, partially offset by the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA(1) described above.
The decrease in Adjusted Profit(1) of $12.9 million, from $25.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, is attributable to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA(1) described above, partially offset by the aforementioned decrease of $4.0 million in financial costs.
As of June 30, 2021, we had $119.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, out of which $62.9 million was held in current accounts and $56.9 million was held in time deposits with an original duration of less than three months. An additional amount of $2.5 million of time deposits with an original duration greater than three months was classified under short-term investments.
As of June 30, 2021, we had an aggregate of $1,233.1 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities, of which $105.1 million was repayable within one year.
As of June 30, 2021, our current assets totaled $141.6 million and current liabilities totaled $183.2 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $41.6 million. Current liabilities include $25.3 million of unearned revenue in relation to hires received in advance (which represents a non-cash liability that will be recognized as revenues in July 2021 as the services are rendered). Management monitors the Partnership’s liquidity position throughout the year to ensure that it has access to sufficient funds to meet its forecast cash requirements, including debt service commitments, and to monitor compliance with the financial covenants within its loan facilities. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for at least twelve months from the date of this report will be available cash, cash from operations and existing debt facilities. We believe that these anticipated sources of funds, as well as our ability to access the capital markets if needed, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs and comply with our banking covenants for at least twelve months from the date of this report.

LNG Market Update and Outlook
LNG demand was 95 mt in the second quarter of 2021, according to Poten, compared to 86 mt in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of approximately 11%. Demand growth was particularly strong in Asia and South America. Specifically, demand increased, year-over-year, in China (+4 mt, or 25%), Japan (+1 mt, or 7%) and South Korea (+1 mt, or 9%), the three largest end markets for LNG, as these countries rebuilt inventories following a colder than average winter ahead of summer cooling demand. In addition, demand from Argentina, Brazil and Chile together grew by approximately 3 mt (or 116%) year-over-year due to lower hydroelectric output from the region. Growth from these regions was offset by a decline of approximately 2 mt (or 35%) from the Middle East.
Global LNG supply was approximately 96 mt in the second quarter of 2021, growing by 8 mt (or 9%) year-over-year, according to Poten. Supply growth in the second quarter was particularly strong in the United States (“U.S.”) which increased production by 7 mt (or 61%) year-over-year, due to higher utilization from existing liquefaction trains as well as the ramp-up of production at the third trains at Freeport LNG, Cameron LNG and Corpus Christi LNG. The resumption of LNG exports from Egypt helped grow supply from the Middle East by approximately 2 mt (or 32%) while increased utilization of existing facilities saw Russian LNG production grow by approximately 1 mt (or 17%). Growth from these three regions offset declines from Trinidad and Norway. Looking ahead, approximately 125 mt of new LNG capacity is currently under construction and scheduled to come online between 2021 and 2026.
Headline spot rates for TFDE LNG carriers, as reported by Clarksons, averaged $58,000 per day in the second quarter of 2021, a 61% increase over the $36,000 per day average in the second quarter of 2020. Headline spot rates for Steam vessels averaged $45,000 per day in the second quarter of 2021, 96% higher than the average of $23,000 per day in the second quarter of 2020. Headline spot rates in the second quarter benefited from LNG demand growth from Asia combined with LNG supply growth in the US as detailed above.
As of July 23, 2021, Clarksons assessed headline spot rates for TFDE and Steam LNG carriers at $56,000 per day and $39,000 per day, respectively. Forward assessments for LNG carrier spot rates indicate rising spot rates through the remainder of the year. However, the magnitude and pace of any sustained upward movement in spot rates will depend on both the continued recovery of LNG demand and LNG price differentials between the major export and import regions, whilst the forecasted growth of the global LNG carrier fleet combined with any slow-down in demand could create volatility in the spot and short-term markets over the near and medium-term.
As of July 23, 2021, Poten estimated that the orderbook totaled 126 dedicated LNG carriers (>100,000 cbm), representing 19% of the on-the-water fleet. Of these, 106 vessels (or 84%) have multi-year charters. 31 orders have been placed for newbuild LNG carriers in 2021 as of July 23, 2021 compared with 34 for all of 2020.
ATM Common Equity Offering Programme (“ATM Programme”)
During the second quarter of 2021, GasLog Partners issued and received payment for 3,195,401 common units at a weighted average price of $3.19 per common unit for total gross proceeds of $10.2 million and net proceeds of $10.0 million, after broker commissions. During this period, the Partnership also issued 56,158 general partner units to its general partner in order for GasLog to retain its 2.0% general partner interest. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partner units were $0.2 million.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before financial income and costs, gain/loss on derivatives, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before impairment loss on vessels and restructuring costs. Adjusted Profit represents earnings before (a) non-cash gain/loss on derivatives that includes unrealized gain/loss on derivatives held for trading, (b) write-off and accelerated amortization of unamortized loan fees, (c) impairment loss on vessels and (d) restructuring costs. Adjusted EPU, represents Adjusted Profit (as defined above), after deducting preference unit distributions, divided by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU, which are non-GAAP financial measures, are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. The Partnership believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. The Partnership believes that including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU assists our management and investors in (i) understanding and analyzing the results of our operating and business performance, (ii) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (iii) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to purchase and/or to continue to hold our common units. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, financial costs, gain/loss on derivatives, taxes, depreciation and amortization; in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, impairment loss on vessels and restructuring costs and, in the case of Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU, non-cash gain/loss on derivatives, write-off and accelerated amortization of unamortized loan fees, impairment loss on vessels and restructuring costs, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, financial market conditions, general shipping market conditions, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods. Restructuring costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU because restructuring costs represent charges reflecting specific actions taken by management to improve the Partnership’s future profitability and therefore are not considered representative of the underlying operations of the Partnership. Impairment loss is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU because impairment loss on vessels represents the excess of their carrying amount over the amount that is expected to be recovered from them in the future and therefore is not considered representative of the underlying operations of the Partnership.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior to, profit, profit from operations, earnings per unit or any other measure of operating performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Some of these limitations include the fact that they do not reflect (i) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs and (iii) the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statement of cash flows and other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently to how we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU exclude some, but not all, items that affect profit or loss and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following tables reconcile EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU to Profit, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, for the periods presented.
In evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EPU should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the excluded items.
