“The first quarter is usually a strong period for product tankers, but this year freight rate improvements were partly offset by limited arbitrage trades and continued low European demand,” says CEO Jacob Meldgaard, and adds: “TORM incurred a non-cash impairment charge of USD 195m and now has negative equity. I am pleased that TORM’s operational platform continues to deliver competitive results, which is the foundation for a recapitalization of the Company”. In the first quarter of 2014, TORM realized a positive EBITDA of USD 21m and a loss before tax of USD 222m including an impairment charge of USD 195m. |
