CAPITAL PRODUCT PARTNERS L.P. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS AND AMENDMENT OF CERTAIN LOAN TERMS
Athens, Greece - July 31, 2009 – Capital Product Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), (Nasdaq: CPLP), an international owner of modern double-hull tankers, today released its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.
The Partnership's net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $8.0 million, or $0.32 per limited partnership unit, which is $0.03 less than the $0.35 per unit from the previous quarter ended March 31, 2009, and $0.19 lower than the second quarter last year. This drop compared to last year is primarily due to the absence of profit sharing
revenues and higher interest expenses.
Operating surplus for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $11.5 million, less than the $11.9 million from the first quarter of 2009 and lower than the $15.7 million from the second quarter of 2008. Operating surplus is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of the Partnership and other master
limited partnerships. (Please see Appendix A for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net income.)
Revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were $31.2 million compared to $32.0 million of revenues in the second quarter of 2008. There were no profit sharing revenues in the second quarter of 2009 due to the very challenging spot market for both product and crude tankers throughout this period. In the second quarter of 2008 the profit sharing
revenues amounted to $4.5 million.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2009 were $16.0 million, including $8.0 million paid to a subsidiary of Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. (Capital Maritime), the Partnership's sponsor, for the commercial and technical management of the fleet, $7.0 million in depreciation and $0.6 million in general and administrative
expenses, compared to $13.7 million for the second quarter of 2008. The increase is partly due to certain additional fees and costs incurred in relation to the technical management of our vessels. Interest expense and finance cost for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $7.5 million compared to $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2008. The increase in interest
expense is due to the increased debt of the Partnership compared to a year ago, as well as an additional cost of $0.4 million, which is due to the increased funding costs of the banks, incurred in accordance with the terms of our existing loan agreements.
The product tanker spot market remained under severe pressure throughout the second quarter of 2009, as oil product demand continues to appear weak in each of the major OECD regions. U.S. refiners are increasingly able to satisfy domestic demand, the demand for imports of seaborne products globally has diminished and arbitrage opportunities
are limited. The Suezmax spot market showed some resistance to the overall tanker market weakness due to increased demand for crude oil from Chinese and Indian refiners out of West Africa as well as from U.S. refiners in May in anticipation of the driving season. However, expectations for any substantial improvement in both the crude and product spot markets are currently low, which are increasingly reflected in the period and sales & purchase market.
Ioannis Lazaridis, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Capital Product Partners' general partner, said: “Against the backdrop of the most depressed tanker spot market of the last ten years our performance in the second quarter has been solid. The stability of our revenues is the result of our chartering strategy and
the excellent operational performance of our vessels is evidenced by the absence of any material off hire for another quarter. As has been previously announced, we further lengthened the duration of our charters by swapping two of our vessels, Assos and Atrotos, for two of Capital Maritime’s vessels, the Agamemnon II and Ayrton II.”
As of June 30, 2009, the Partnership's long-term debt remained unchanged compared to the end of 2008 at $474.0 million and partners' equity was $164.1 million. The remaining undrawn amounts under the terms of our debt facilities currently stand at $246.0 million.
Mr Lazaridis highlighted: “Due to a significant deterioration in the tanker market, the Partnership obtained an amendment to certain terms in its loan agreements effective until end June 2012. The lenders under both facilities have agreed to increase the fleet loan-to-value covenant to 80% from 72.5%. It
was also agreed to amend the manner in which market valuations of our vessels are conducted. In exchange, the interest margin for both of our credit facilities will increase to 135-145 bps over LIBOR subject to the level of the asset covenants. Currently the margin on our $370.0 million credit facility is 75bps over LIBOR and on our $350.0 million credit facility it is 110bps over LIBOR. All other terms in both of our facilities remain unchanged.”
On July 23, 2009 the Partnership held its Annual General Meeting in Piraeus at which Abel Rasterhoff was re-elected as a Class II Director until the 2012 Annual Meeting of Limited Partners. In addition, a proposal to amend the Company’s First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership so that, in the case of any meeting of
Limited Partners of the Company which has been adjourned for a second time due to absence of a quorum during the first two meetings, the holders of any Outstanding Units of the class or classes for which such meeting has been called represented either in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the purposes of such meeting, provided that such votes present at the third convened meeting represent at least 25% of the outstanding units of the Company, was approved by the majority of the outstanding common
units of the Partnership. No other actions were taken at the meeting.
On July 27, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Partnership declared a cash distribution for the second quarter of 2009 of $0.41 per unit, which is equal to the distribution for the first quarter of 2009. The second quarter cash distribution will be paid on August 14, 2009 to unit holders on record on August 6, 2009.
Mr. Lazaridis concluded: “The global economic and credit environment has seen little change over the last quarter and there are no visible prospects for a recovery. We continue to face a severe deterioration in the banking and credit world as well as a major global economic slowdown, whose duration is very difficult to forecast. The
continuing weakness in the product and crude tanker market is widely acknowledged to have taken a substantial toll on both the period rates and asset prices but the limited transactions and fixtures taking place do not allow for a proper assessment of current market levels. The continuing poor state of the spot tanker market, the potential vessel deliveries for 2009 and the outlook for global oil demand in 2009, which remains weak (according to IEA -2.9% or -2.5 mb/d versus 2008), are all factors likely
to have a further adverse effect on tanker vessel prices and period rates in the short- to medium- term. We have zero capital commitments to purchase or build vessels, we have amended a number of the terms in our loan facilities and our fleet’s charter coverage for 2009 and 2010 stands at approximately 100% and 67%, respectively. However, the uncertain prospects for the rest of the year and the lack of tangible recovery signs for 2010 are all likely to have an adverse impact on our results and financial
condition over time, particularly as vessels come up for rechartering.”
Capital Product Partners will host a conference call to discuss its results today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (U.S.). The public is invited to listen to the conference call by dialing +1 888 935 4577 (U.S. and Canada, toll free), or +1 718 354 1389 (international); reference number 3529343#.

Notes
(1) The unaudited condensed consolidated and combined statements of income and cash flows for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009 include the results of operations of:
|
(a) |
M/T Agamemnon II and M/T Ayrton II (a 51,238dwt sister MR product tankers which were delivered to Capital Maritime on November 24, 2008 and April 10, 2009 respectively) were acquired from Capital Maritime, an entity under common control, on April 7 and April 13, 2009 respectively, as though the transfers had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
presented and |
|
(b) |
M/T Assos and M/T Atrotos up to April 6, 2009 and April 12, 2009 which were exchanged on the same date with M/T Agamemnon II and M/T Ayrton II respectively |
The unaudited condensed consolidated and combined statements of income and cash flows for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008 include the results of operations of M/T Amore Mio II and M/T Aristofanis which were acquired from an entity under common control on March 27, 2008, and April 30, 2008, respectively, as though the transfers
had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
(2) On April 7, and April 13, 2009 the Partnership acquired from Capital Maritime the shares of the vessel owning companies of the M/T Agamemnon II and M/T Ayrton II. In exchange Capital Maritime received all the shares of the vessel owning companies of the M/T Assos and M/T Atrotos,
which were part of the Partnership’s fleet, and an additional cash consideration of $8,000. The amount of $23,708, which was the difference of the historic cost between these vessels, has been recorded as an increase in the partners’ equity. The cash consideration of $8,000 reduced the partners’ equity and is presented as an investing activity under vessel advances and acquisitions in the statements of cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. As required by the provision of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), the Partnership accounted for the acquisition of the vessel owning companies of the M/T Agamemnon II and M/T Ayrton II as a transfer of equity interests between entities under common control at Capital Maritime's carrying amounts (historical cost) of the net assets contributed. In addition, transfers of equity interests between entities under common control are accounted for as if the transfer occurred at the beginning
of the earliest period presented, and prior years financial statements are retroactively adjusted to furnish comparative information similar to the pooling-of-interest method of accounting.
All assets and liabilities of the vessel owning companies of the M/T Agamemnon II and M/T Ayrton, except the vessel, the time charter agreements and necessary permits were retained by Capital Maritime.
All assets and liabilities of the vessel owning companies of the M/T Assos and M/T Atrotos, except the vessel and necessary permits were retained by the Partnership.
(3) On January 29, 2008, June 17, 2008 and August 20, 2008 the Partnership acquired from Capital Maritime the shares of the vessel owning company of M/T Alexandros II, M/T Aristotelis II, and M/T Aris II for a total purchase price of $48,000 each. The vessels have been recorded in the
Partnership's financial statements at the amount of $46,954, $46,706 and $46,585, respectively, which had been reflected in Capital Maritime's consolidated financial statements, which differ from the acquisition price by $1,046, $1,294 and $1,415, respectively. The amount of the purchase price in excess of Capital Maritime's basis of the assets amounted to $3,755 was recognized as a reduction of partners' equity. M/T Alexandros II, M/T Aristotelis II, and M/T Aris II were delivered to Capital Maritime from the
shipyard on January 29, 2008, June 17, 2008, and August 20, 2008 respectively and on the same date the Partnership acquired the shares of the respective vessel owning companies. These vessel owning companies did not have an operating history, as such, there is no information to retroactively adjust that should be considered. As required by the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"), the Partnership accounted for the acquisition of the vessel
owning companies of the M/T Alexandros II, the M/T Aristotelis II and the M/T Aris II as a transfer of net assets between entities under common control at Capital Maritime's carrying amounts (historical cost) of the net assets contributed. All assets, liabilities and equity other than the relevant vessels, related charter agreements and related permits, which the vessel owning companies of the M/T Alexandros II, the M/T Aristotelis and the M/T Aris II had at the time of the transfer, were retained by Capital
Maritime.
Notes - Continued
(4) On March 27, 2008 and April 30, 2008 the Partnership acquired from Capital Maritime the shares of the vessel owning companies of M/T Amore Mio II and M/T Aristofanis for a total consideration of $85,739 and $21,566 respectively. The acquisition of the shares of the vessel owning company
of M/T Amore Mio II was funded by $2,000 from available cash, $46,000 through a drawn down from the new credit facility of $350,000, and the remaining amount through the issuance of 2,048,823 common units to Capital Maritime at a price of $18,42 per unit which represents the closing price of the Partnership’s units on March 26, 2008 as quoted on Nasdaq Stock Exchange. The acquisition of the shares of the vessel owning company of M/T Aristofanis was funded by $11,500 through a drawn down from the new credit
facility of $350,000, and the remaining amount through the issuance of 501,308 common units to Capital Maritime at a price of $20.08 per unit which represents the closing price of the Partnership’s units on April 29, 2008 as quoted on Nasdaq Stock Exchange. M/T Amore Mio II and M/T Aristofanis have been recorded in the Partnership's financial statements at the amount of $85,146 and $10,831 respectively, reflecting their historical cost in Capital Maritime's consolidated financial statements,
and differ from the acquisition price by $593 and $10,735 respectively. The amounts of the purchase price in excess of Capital Maritime's basis of the M/T Amore Mio II and M/T Aristofanis of $593 and $10,735 respectively were recognized as a reduction of partners' equity. As required by the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"), the Partnership accounted for the acquisition of the vessel owning companies of M/T Amore Mio II and M/T Aristofanis
as a transfer of equity interests between entities under common control at Capital Maritime's carrying amounts (historical cost) of the net assets contributed. In addition, transfers of equity interests between entities under common control are accounted for as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and prior years financial statements are retroactively adjusted to furnish comparative information similar to the pooling-of-interest method of accounting.
All assets and liabilities of the vessel owning companies of the M/T Amore Mio II and M/T Aristofanis except the vessel, the time charter agreements and necessary permits were retained by Capital Martime.

Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Operating Surplus
Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for non cash items such as depreciation and amortization expense, unearned revenue and unrealized gain and losses. Replacement capital expenditures represent those capital expenditures required to maintain over the long term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, the Partnership's
capital assets. Operating Surplus is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership's ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Operating Surplus is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of the Partnership's performance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The tables below
reconcile Operating Surplus to net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2009.
