Frontline initial Q1 2024

The glossier presentation slides will likely be available in a few hours. But, I just saw some initial Q1 data

  • Shipping Revenue of $578.4M
  • Profit of $180.8M
  • Adj Profit of $137.5M
  • Declared div of 62c/sh
  • Q1 VLCC rates $48 100 daily (pulled down significantly by the delivery of the remaining 13 acquired EURN vessels)

Trying to dissect all the financing related data. Seems like some of the sold vessels might have delivered in Q2 (is aware of one Suezmax that is a Q2 event). Why does it matter? Debt per vessel impacts vessel breakeven. Don’t know how market will react, but I liked Q1 numbers. And Q2 (done so far) seems even more positive
