Company TCE Average Revenue

2015 ($/Day) Overview

Nordic American Tankers Ltd.

$37,228

Founded in 1995, Nordic operates globally using only Suezmax tankers to distribute oil to their clients. Being able to interchange assets sets them apart from their competition.

Teekay Tankers Ltd.

$29,733

Formed by Teekay Corporation in 2007, they have grown as an industry competitor from 980,000 DWT to 7,650,000 DWT capacity. Through time charters, ship to ship services, spot market, and pooling arrangements, Teekay Tankers generates revenue from a myriad of sources.

Gener8 Maritime Inc.

$25,245

Engaging in pooling arrangements and newbuilds of VLCCs, Gener8 Maritime employs a unique strategy with 91% of their operations coming from the spot market through pooling arrangements.

Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited

$25,940

Headquarted in Greece, Tsakos provides services to high quality oil companies throughout the world. Relationship building through Tsakos Columbia Shipmanagment and Tsakos Shipping provides more access to ships not owned by the company.

Overseas Shipholding Group Inc.

$34,470

United States company headquartered in New York which charters oil and petroleum (LNG) on a global scale. A diversified ship fleet gives rise to competitive advantage.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE The competitive landscape of the oil tanking industry includes global corporations that operate in the spot and fixed charter markets independent from multi-national oil companies. Their fleets consist of multiple sized ships providing both refined and crude products, and serve the world’s developed markets and emerging economies.

SPOT VERSUS CHARTER MARKET Spot Market : A volatile source of revenue that fluctuates based on oil demand, supply, and industry capacity,

The time frame for a contract can last from a couple of days to several weeks. As demand for oil increases, demand for tankers increases to transport the products around the world.

This, in turn, drives TCE rates higher. As supply increases, demand for tanker ships increases for storage purposes.

Frontline diversifies themselves among others by employing 59% of their ships within the spot market.

Time Charter Market: A steady stream of income from charterers. This entails a nation, oil company, or other entity signing an agreement to hire a vessel for a specified period of time under a specific rate.

Under Frontline’s strategy, they employ 41% of their ships through the fixed market.

DETERMINATES OF REVENUE: Dirty vs Clean Cargo

The Baltic indices track daily charter rates that drive oil tanker revenue. These rates are determine by the prices commodity producers pay to have their goods shipped by sea.

The Baltic Clean Index (BCIY:IND) displays the revenue intake from the shipment of refined oil products while the Baltic Dirty Index (BDIY:IND) shows the revenue intake from the shipment of crude oil products.

Frontline hedges risk by balancing their ship fleet to handle both crude and refined products.

SUEXMAX TCE SPOT MARKET EARNINGS (in thousands)

SPOT MARKET EARNINGS IN RELATION TO ECONOMIC

INDICATORS Historical global data indicates that world GDP and oil demand growth have a strong positive correlation – with increased economic growth there is an increased need to consume oil.

Spot market rates generally follow oil demand growth. With World GDP increasing by 2.46% from 2014 to 2015, Frontline has experienced higher time charter equivalency rates in the spot market. As Frontline’s fleet is 59% percent part of the spot market, revenue is derived from the improved rates.

OIL CAPTURES 32.9% OF GLOBAL ENERGY MARKET

AVG. FORECASTED QUARTERLY PERCENT CHANGE IN DEMAND

Third quarter’s growth is predominately due to seasonality in the industry. In OECD coun-tries, there is a high de-mand for heating oil in winter.

WORLD ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY ENERGY 1990-2040 (QUADRILLION BTU)

AVG. FORECASTED QUARTERLY GROWTH IN DEMAND

Annual rGDP growth in the United States, China, and India indicate their need to increase consumption of crude oil. Worldwide, consumption rates of liquid fuels are expected to improve 1.14% per year to meet a growth rate of 3.3% per year.

Petroleum products include transportation fuels, heating oil and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and feedstock for chemicals and plastics.

United States primarily uses oil for gasoline (76%) and heating oil (21%).

Frontline’s investment in VLCC, Suezmax, and LR2 vessels position it to capture increasing refined and crude oil consumption de-mands in emerging markets such as India, China, Brazil, and Africa. These markets’ expected demand growth is due to improve-ments in motorization rates, refinery production, and technological development. Frontline’s routes also allow for a secure market share in developed countries’ energy demand.

US EXPERIENCES HIGHEST AUTOMOBILE SALES IN HISTORY

US Motor Vehicle Sales in 2015 reached an all-time high of 17.39 million units sold (5.8% increase from 2014) with truck (56.7% market share) outselling cars (43.3%). Light truck sales have increased nearly 13% over 2014. Looking ahead, forecasters such as WardsAuto see 2016 motor vehicle sales reaching another historic high. Consumers are showing buying preferences for less fuel efficient vehicles. With light trucks being 27% less fuel efficient than passenger cars, this indicates that depressed national retail gas prices of approximately $2.19 have encouraged consumers to be more tolerant of less fuel efficient vehicles.

NORTHERN US BRACES FOR “EXCEPTIONALLY COLD WINTER”

With nearly 25% of Americans - predominately residing in the Northeast - relying on heating oil to warm their homes in the winter and the Farmer’s Almanac predicting an “exceptionally cold” winter (potentially reaching 40 degrees below zero in February) for the Northern Plains, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Middle Atlantic, Northeast, and New England, predictions can be made that there may be increase in the consumption of heating oil. Forecasters predict that heating oil will hold steady at near-historic low of 1.45USD/GAL over the next twelves months, further encouraging consumption.

OIL CAPTURES 96% OF GLOBAL TRANSPORTATION ENERGY MARKET

94% of the projected growth in world transportation energy consumption is seen in the non-OECD countries; predominately in India, China, and Brazil. China’s demand alone for oil is expected to increase by 2.7% a year. Currently, China is investing in stockpiles of oil to meet future consumption needs with the expectation that demand will soon outstrip the available supply. World motorization rates have improved by 25% since last year as the standard of living in developing countries rise and encourage consumers purchase personal vehicles. This is reflected in the growth of vehicle sales in the past year.

FRONTLINE LONG HISTORY OF RETURNING VALUE TO SHAREHOLDERS

Highest Return Due to Efficient Margins

The financials for Frontline fair well against their competitors. From 2014 to 2015, the overall oil tanker industry has improved. This comes from higher revenues year over year due to an oil supply glut in 2014. This has increased every competitor's margins down the line. Frontline has enjoyed this appreciation well above their competitors, beating most in nearly every category. This has contributed to low operating costs relative to net revenues.

Hedging Risk with Diversifying Contracts

By having a well balanced set of contracts, Frontline is able to hedge its risk against volatility in the market. Frontline is able to maintain profitability regardless of spot market fluctuations due to consistent charter rate revenues. When spot markets improve in the winter months, Frontline stands to gain from the increased prices.

PROJECTED REVENUES Projected TCE Rates are slated to fall based on company

guidance and the expansion in industry capacity.

Projected fleet growth will more than offset the decline in industry TCE rates in the near term

Projected TCE Rates Below Historical Industry Averages With projected TCE rates below historical in-

dustry averages, our projections leave room for

error

The standard deviation for clean tankers is less

than crude transporters —Frontline will have a

total of 22 LR2 clean tankers on the market by

2017. With lower standard deviations and less

fluctuation in TCE rates these ships will garner

more stable rates

Though we do predict lower rates in the near

term, we foresee rates returning to long term

historical averages over time
