Significant accounting policies:

 

(a)

Basis of presentation:

Except for the changes described in note 1(b), the accompanying interim financial information of Atlas Corp. (the “Company” or “Atlas”) has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), on a basis consistent with those followed in the December 31, 2020 audited annual consolidated financial statements of Atlas. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited and reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosures required under U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2020 annual consolidated financial statements of Atlas filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

COVID-19 has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the industries that Atlas operates in. In the second half of 2020 and throughout 2021, trade and charter rates have rebounded markedly due to increased demand and lack of capacity compared with the first half of 2020 when the containership industry experienced decreased container trade and reduced charter rates. However, global challenges in transferring crew members on and off vessels have persisted throughout 2021. In the power generation industry, while COVID-19 continues to impact developing countries, which reduces general power demand in some areas, it has not materially impacted the Company's ability to execute contracts in the peaking power and emergency power segments of the market in which it operates. The duration and full effects of this global health emergency and related disruptions are uncertain as COVID-19 variants emerge and containment strategies continue to be adjusted. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the new variants of COVID-19, any increase in cases and/or the reinstatement of lockdowns and other restrictions, each of which could negatively impact the recovery from COVID-19. Negative impacts of COVID-19 are expected to reverberate beyond the duration of the pandemic itself. As a result, this increases the uncertainties and the degree of judgment associated with many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions. As events develop and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods.

 

(b)

Recent accounting pronouncements

Discontinuation of LIBOR

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which provides optional relief for the discontinuation of LIBOR resulting from rate reform. Contract terms that are modified due to the replacement of a reference rate are not required to be remeasured or reassessed under FASB’s relevant U.S. GAAP Topic. The election is available by Topic. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Debt with conversion and other options

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)”, which simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments by reducing the number of accounting models and circumstances when embedded conversion features are separately recognized. This update also revises the method in which diluted earnings per share is calculated related to certain instruments with conversion features, among other clarifications. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Acquisition of Apple Bidco Limited:

On February 28, 2020, the Company acquired 100.0% of the share capital of APR Energy from Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. and its affiliates (“Fairfax”) and certain other minority shareholders (collectively, the “Sellers”). Fairfax held 67.8% of APR Energy’s common shares. APR Energy owns and operates a fleet of capital-intensive assets, including aero-derivative gas turbines and other power generation equipment, and provides power solutions to customers through medium to long-term contracts. The financial results of APR Energy have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from February 29, 2020, after the date of acquisition.

At closing, Atlas issued 29,891,266 common shares and reserved 6,664,270 common shares for future issuance (the “Holdback Shares”). The Holdback Shares are issuable over a period of 90 days to five years after the date of acquisition and are subject to settlement of purchase price adjustments, indemnification arrangements and other future compensable events. These arrangements may be settled, at the Sellers’ option, by either cancellation of Holdback Shares or cash. In the case of purchase price adjustments, if Holdback Shares are insufficient, Sellers may choose to compensate the Company in cash or cancel previously issued common shares. Any Holdback Shares that are not cancelled after the expiry of their respective holdback periods, will be issued to the Sellers, plus any accrued distributions or dividends.  

The net purchase price of $287,700,000 was comprised of:

Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Sellers are required to compensate the Company for losses on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction related to specified contracts. Losses on cash repatriation is recognized in other expenses in the period incurred. In February 2021, Fairfax agreed, subject to definitive documentation, to compensate the Company for future losses realized on sale or disposal of certain property, plant and equipment and inventory items (note 10(c)). The definitive documentation was executed on April 30, 2021.

In 2020, the Sellers forfeited their rights to receive 577,139 Holdback Shares and returned 1,849,641 previously issued common shares to the Company. Of this number, 1,122,290 shares were permanently forfeited as part of post-closing purchase price adjustments. The remaining 727,351 shares are held in reserve as treasury shares. The shares held in reserve are issuable to the Sellers at a future date, subject to settlement of potential indemnified events. In February 2021, the Company agreed to issue 5-year warrants to purchase 5,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $13.00 per share to Fairfax, subject to definitive documentation. The definitive documentation was executed on April 30, 2021 and the warrants were issued in April 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 48,573 and 342,837 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 – 81,037) common shares, respectively, were released from holdback and issued to the Sellers.

Acquisition of Apple Bidco Limited (continued):

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other current assets (consisting of prepaid expenses), accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and other current liabilities approximated their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair value of long-term debt and other assets were categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and determined based on expected payments. The fair values of contingent consideration assets, inventory, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and asset retirement obligation included in other long-term liabilities were categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and were determined using relevant market assumptions, including comparable sales and cost data, discount rates and future cash flows.

As part of the acquisition, the Company recorded $117,900,000 of goodwill resulting from expected synergies in congruence with APR’s unique position in the power generation market, which is not deductible for tax purposes and has been assigned to the power generation segment. Subsequent to the acquisition, it was determined that the carrying value of the mobile power generation reporting unit exceeded its fair value, as a result of potential strategic repositioning contemplated by the Company. As a result, the balance of the goodwill of $117,900,000 was written-off as of December 31, 2020.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $84,000 and $1,492,000, respectively, of acquisition related costs that were included in general and administrative expense.

Pro forma financial information

The following table presents unaudited pro forma results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma financial information combines the results of operations of the Company and APR Energy as though the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2020. The pro forma results contain adjustments that are directly attributable to the transaction, including depreciation of the fair value of property, plant and equipment, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and refinancing of debt. Additionally, pro forma net earnings were adjusted to exclude acquisition-related costs incurred.

Segment reporting:

 

For management purposes, the Company is organized based on its two leasing businesses and has two reportable segments, containership leasing and mobile power generation. The Company’s containership leasing segment owns and operates a fleet of containerships which are chartered primarily pursuant to long-term, fixed-rate time charters. The Company’s mobile power generation segment owns and operates a fleet of power generation assets, including aero-derivative gas turbines and other equipment, and provides power solutions to customers.

The Company’s chief operating decision makers monitor the operating results of the leasing businesses separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment based on adjusted EBITDA, which is computed as net earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, impairments, write-down and gains/losses on sale, gains/losses on derivative instruments, loss on foreign currency repatriation, change in contingent consideration asset, loss on debt extinguishment, other expenses and certain other items that the Company believes are not representative of its operating performance.

Revolving credit facilities:

In May 2021, the Company refinanced one revolving credit facility which increased the aggregate commitments by $100,000,000 and extended the maturity by two years.

As at September 30, 2021, the Company had five revolving credit facilities available (December 31, 2020 – five revolving credit facilities) which provided for aggregate borrowings of up to $1,064,126,000 (December 31, 2020 – $989,119,000), of which $520,000,000 (December 31, 2020 $217,000,000) was undrawn.

As at September 30, 2021, the three month and six month average LIBOR on the Company’s revolving credit facilities was 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively, (December 31, 2020 – three months average LIBOR of 0.2% and six months average LIBOR of 0.3%) and the margins ranged between 0.5% and 2.3% as at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – 0.5% and 2.3%). The weighted average rate of interest, including the margin, for the Company’s revolving credit facilities was 1.0% as at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – 1.4%). Interest payments are made monthly, quarterly and semi-annually.

Term loan credit facilities:

In May 2021, the Company amended and restated three term loan credit facilities which increased the aggregate commitments by $79,540,000 and extended maturities by two years.

As at September 30, 2021, the Company had $2,032,040,000 (December 31, 2020 $2,344,730,000) of term loan credit facilities available, of which $179,540,000 (December 31, 2020 $250,000,000) was undrawn. Three of the term loan credit facilities have a revolving loan component, all of which have been included in the revolving credit facilities above.

For all of the Company’s term loan credit facilities, except three, interest is calculated based on three month or six month LIBOR plus a margin per annum, dependent on the interest period selected by the Company. The three month and six month average LIBOR was 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively (December 31, 2020 – 0.2% and 0.3%) and the margins ranged between 0.4% and 3.5% as at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – 0.4% and 4.3%).   

For one of the term loan credit facilities with a total principal amount outstanding of $30,391,000 (December 31, 2020 – $39,970,000), interest is calculated based on the Export-Import Bank of Korea (“KEXIM”) rate plus 0.7% per annum.

For two of the term loan credit facilities with a total principal amount outstanding of $11,957,000 (December 31, 2020 – nil), interest is calculated based on a fixed rate of 3.8% per annum for both.

The weighted average rate of interest, including the applicable margin, was 2.1% as at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – 2.7%) for the Company’s term loan credit facilities. One of the Company’s term loan credit facilities bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.7%. Interest payments are made in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments.

The following is a schedule of future minimum repayments of the Company’s term loan credit facilities as of September 30, 2021.

Credit facilities – other:

As at September 30, 2021, the Company’s credit facilities were secured by first-priority mortgages granted on most of its power generation assets and 69 of its vessels together with other related security. The security for each of the Company’s current secured credit facilities includes:

 

 

A first priority mortgage on collateral assets;

 

An assignment of the Company’s lease agreements and earnings related to the related collateral assets;

 

An assignment of the insurance policies covering each of the collateral assets that are subject to a related mortgage and/or security interest;

 

An assignment of the Company’s related shipbuilding contracts and the corresponding refund guarantees and;

 

A pledge over the related retention accounts.

 

As at September 30, 2021, $1,363,641,000 principal amount of indebtedness under the Company’s term loan and revolving credit facilities was secured by a portfolio of 52 vessels, the composition of which can be changed, and is subject to a borrowing base and portfolio concentration requirements, as well as compliance with financial covenants and certain negative covenants.

 

The Company may prepay certain amounts outstanding without penalty, other than breakage costs in certain circumstances, with the exception of one term loan credit facility, where the Company may prepay borrowings up to March 6, 2023 with penalties and thereafter without penalty. A prepayment may be required as a result of certain events, including change of control and, where applicable, the sale or loss of assets or a termination or expiration of certain lease agreements (and the inability to enter into a lease replacing the terminated or expired lease suitable to lenders within a specified period of time). The amount that must be prepaid may be calculated based on the loan to market value. In these circumstances, valuations of the Company’s assets are conducted on a “without lease” and/or “orderly liquidation” basis as required under the credit facility agreement.

 

Each credit facility contains a mix of financial covenants requiring the borrower and/or guarantor of the facility to maintain minimum liquidity, tangible net worth, interest and principal coverage ratios, and debt-to-assets ratios, as defined. Each of Atlas and Seaspan are guarantors under certain facilities.

 

Some of the facilities also have an interest and principal coverage ratio, debt service coverage and vessel value requirement for the subsidiary borrower. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as at September 30, 2021.

Pursuant to the Fairfax Exchange as described in note 5(b), the Company exchanged $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Fairfax Notes and all $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Fairfax Notes for (i) 12,000,000 Series J 7.00% Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares, and (ii) 1,000,000 five year warrants to purchase an equal number of Atlas common shares at an exercise price of $13.71 per share. The exchanged 2026 Fairfax Notes and 2027 Fairfax Notes were subsequently cancelled.

In connection with the Fairfax Exchange, the Fairfax Holders also agreed to amend the terms of the $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Fairfax Notes that remain outstanding following the Fairfax Exchange, which includes all 2025 Fairfax Notes and 2026 Fairfax Notes. The Amendment, among other things, eliminated the Fairfax Holders’ mandatory redemption and put rights and released and discharged all outstanding guarantees and liens on collateral thereunder. The Fairfax Holders also agreed to terminate Seaspan’s Amended and Restated Pledge and Collateral Agent Agreement and to release and discharge all liens on collateral thereof. The Company had the option to redeem the amended notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

In August 2021, the remaining 2025 Fairfax Notes and 2026 Fairfax Notes were redeemed for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the Fairfax Exchange and subsequent redemption of the 2025 Fairfax Notes and 2026 Fairfax Notes, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $70,215,000 and $121,715,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively (September 30, 2020 $nil), representing the write-off of the existing associated debt discount and deferred financing fees.

Senior Secured Notes:

In May 2021, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $500,000,000 of sustainability-linked, senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) in a US private placement. The Senior Secured Notes comprise four series, each ranking pari passu with the Company’s existing and future debt financing program. The Series A, Series C and Series D Senior Secured Notes were issued in May 2021, with interest rates ranging from 3.91% to 4.26% and maturities from June 2031 to June 2036. The Series B Senior Secured Notes, which bear interest at 3.91% per annum and mature in 2031, were issued in August 2021. The Senior Secured Notes contain certain sustainability features, and are subject to adjustment based on Seaspan’s achievements relative to certain key performance indicators.

In September 2021, the Company amended an operating lease for one vessel to extend the term for an additional five years. The amendment resulted in the continuation of its treatment as an operating lease. The reassessment due to the modification resulted in an increase of $5,753,000 to lease liabilities and a corresponding increase to right-of-use assets.

In January 2021, the Company made a payment of $69,166,000 to early terminate a sale-leaseback financing arrangement secured by one 11,000 TEU vessel. In March 2021, the Company entered into a new sale-leaseback financing arrangement of $83,700,000, secured by the same 11,000 TEU vessel.

 

In April 2021, the Company entered into $235,000,000 in sale-lease back finance arrangements to refinance three separate vessels, the funding of which was completed in May 2021.

 

In May 2021, the Company repaid $59,300,000 upon early termination of a sale-leaseback financing arrangement secured by a 13,100 TEU vessel.

 

In April through September 2021, the Company entered into $1,962,146,000 in sale-leaseback financing arrangements (the “Newbuild Sale-Leasebacks”) related to 19 newbuild containerships, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Newbuild Sale-Leasebacks partially fund pre-delivery payments related to the 19 newbuild containerships. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, $72,000,000 and $135,000,000 was funded under the Newbuild Sale-Leasebacks.

Financial instruments:

 

(a)

Fair value

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, income tax payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short term to maturity.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s revolving credit facilities and term loan credit facilities, excluding deferred financing fees was $2,352,609,000 (December 31, 2020 $2,827,984,000) and the carrying value was $2,396,626,000 (December 31, 2020 $2,866,850,000). As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees, was $1,229,409,000 (December 31, 2020 $891,710,000) and the carrying value was $1,211,242,000 (December 31, 2020 $879,468,000). The fair value of the revolving and term loan credit facilities and other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees, was estimated based on expected principal repayments and interest, discounted by relevant forward rates plus a margin appropriate to the credit risk of the Company. Therefore, the Company categorized the fair value of these financial instruments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Financial instruments (continued):

 

(a)

Fair value (continued):

 

As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes was $1,351,316,000 (December 31, 2020 – $89,207,000) and the carrying value was $1,302,199,000 (December 31, 2020 – $80,000,000). The fair value of the Company’s Senior Unsecured Exchangeable Notes was $207,421,000 (December 31, 2020 $195,232,000) and the carrying value was $201,250,000 (December 31, 2020 $201,250,000) or $195,890,000 (December 31, 2020 $195,000,000), net of debt discount. The fair value of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes was $456,002,000 and the carrying value was $500,000,000. The fair value was calculated using the present value of expected principal repayments and interest discounted by relevant forward rates plus a margin appropriate to the credit risk of the Company. As a result, these amounts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s interest rate derivative financial instruments are re-measured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair values of the interest rate derivative financial instruments have been calculated by discounting the future cash flow of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest rate payments. The discount rate is derived from a yield curve created by nationally recognized financial institutions adjusted for the associated credit risk. The fair values of the interest rate derivative financial instruments are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Therefore, the Company categorized the fair value of these derivative financial instruments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

As part of the acquisition of APR Energy, the Company obtained a contingent consideration asset related to compensation the Company will receive from the Sellers on losses that may be generated from cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction. The fair value of the contingent consideration asset is calculated as the present value of expected future compensable losses from conversion of cash from foreign currency to US dollars, derived from the discount expected to be realized on repatriation of cash from the foreign jurisdiction over a specified period of time, which is a significant unobservable input. As such, the Company categorized the fair value of the contingent consideration asset as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The discount expected to be realized on future repatriation of cash as of September 30, 2021 is 45%. An increase of 5% on the discount would result in an increase in the fair value of approximately $1,544,000. A decrease of 5% on the discount would result in a decrease in the fair value of approximately $1,543,000.

As part of the acquisition of APR Energy, the Company also obtained, a contingent consideration asset related to compensation the Company expects to receive from Fairfax on losses realized on future sale or disposal of certain property, plant and equipment and inventory items. The fair value of the contingent consideration asset is determined based on the present value of expected future compensation, calculated as the difference between the book value of the respective assets at acquisition and the realizable value of the asset obtained from market quotes, which is a significant unobservable input. As such, the Company categorized the fair value of the contingent consideration asset as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Unobservable inputs for recurring and non-recurring Level 3 disclosures are obtained from third parties whenever possible and reviewed by the Company for reasonableness.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Report and the audited consolidated financial statements, related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Annual Report was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2021. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are presented in U.S. dollars, or USD. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Overview

General

We are Atlas Corp., a global asset manager and the parent company of Seaspan Corporation (“Seaspan”) and APR Energy Ltd (together with Apple Bidco Limited, “APR Energy”).

Atlas was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands in October 2019 for the purpose of facilitating, and to become the successor public company of Seaspan pursuant to, the Reorganization. Atlas is a holding company and its sole assets are its interests in Seaspan and APR Energy and their respective subsidiaries.

Segment Reporting

For management purposes, the Company is organized based on its two leasing businesses and has two reportable segments, containership leasing and power generation. The Company’s containership leasing segment, which is conducted through Seaspan, owns and operates a fleet of containerships which are chartered primarily pursuant to long-term, fixed-rate, time charters with major container liner companies. The Company’s mobile power generation segment, which is conducted through APR Energy, owns and operates a fleet of power generation assets, including gas turbines and other equipment, and provides power solutions to customers, through medium to long-term contracts.

Containership leasing

Through Seaspan, we are a leading independent charter owner and manager of containerships, which we charter primarily pursuant to long-term, fixed-rate time charters with major container liner companies. We primarily deploy our vessels on long-term, fixed-rate time charters to take advantage of the stable cash flow and high utilization rates that are typically associated with long-term time charters. As at September 30, 2021, we operated a fleet of 132 vessels that have an average age of approximately eight years, on a TEU weighted basis. 

Customers for our operating fleet as at September 30, 2021 are as follows:

Our primary objective for Seaspan is to continue to grow our containership leasing business through accretive vessel acquisitions as market conditions allow. Most of our customers’ containership business revenues are derived from the shipment of goods from the Asia Pacific region, primarily China, to various overseas export markets in the United States and in Europe.

We use the term “twenty-foot equivalent unit”, or TEU, the international standard measure of containers, in describing the capacity of our containerships, which are also referred to as our “vessels”.

Power Generation

Through APR Energy, we also operate a fleet of power generation assets, providing power generation to customers including large corporations and public and private utilities. Our mobile, turnkey power plants are deployed in cities, countries, and industries around the world in both developed and developing markets. As of September 30, 2021, we operated a fleet of 30 aero-derivative gas turbines and 435 diesel generators. The average age of our turbines is approximately eight years and the average age of our diesel generators is approximately eleven years.

Our primary objective is to drive sustained growth and optimize cash flow by delivering operational excellence and providing a broad range of innovated technologies and offerings to generate customer value. Our revenues are primarily derived through power generation and our turnkey services include plant design, fast-tracked installation of generating equipment and balance of plant, plant operation, and around-the-clock service and maintenance.

 

We use the term “megawatts”, or MW, in describing the capacity of our power generation equipment.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business

The spread of the COVID-19 virus has caused substantial disruptions in the global economy and the shipping and energy industries, as well as significant volatility in the financial markets. The duration and full effects of this global health emergency and related disruptions are uncertain, as COVID-19 variants emerge and containment strategies continue to be adjusted. Negative impacts of COVID-19 are expected to reverberate beyond the duration of the pandemic itself.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, some of the negative impacts of COVID-19 on the container shipping industry have reversed in 2021 compared with 2020. Following a period of reduced container trade and associated charter rates in the first half of 2020, container trade and charter rates have since rebounded markedly due to increased demand and lack of capacity. We believe future significant downside risk to Seaspan’s business is mitigated by our longstanding business relationships and the long-term contracts securing the majority of our fleet, including the 60 forward fixtures executed since the beginning of 2021.

 

For Seaspan, the costs of operations have increased due to COVID-19’s impact on supply chains, on workers’, surveyors’ and other specialists’ access to the shipyards to complete repairs and inspections, and on the ability to conduct crew transfers. Accordingly, we have made logistical changes and worked with vendors to ensure continued access to equipment and supplies and mitigate costs. We have also intentionally delayed or altered plans for repairs and vessel projects where practicable. For our crew, we have developed and implemented extended onboard management procedures and we have prepared response plans should any crew member fall ill onboard. In addition, although embarkation and disembarkation of seafarers remains challenging and there are increased costs associated, we are conducting crew changes at ports where transfers are permitted. Management has obtained agreements from certain charterers to alter trading routes to facilitate crew changes.

 

In contrast to the container shipping industry, COVID-19 continues to impact demand in the energy sector. APR Energy continues to be challenged by the effective shutdown of government institutions in some jurisdictions, which have impacted procurement processes for certain prospective projects. Nevertheless, APR Energy was able to secure contracts in the emergency and peaking power markets in which it operates. To mitigate the continued impact of COVID-19 on the energy sector, APR Energy focuses on developing existing customer relationships to ensure it is able to extend and expand current contractual relationships wherever possible. As at September 30, 2021, APR Energy has 3 turbines off contract, together representing 60 megawatt capacity and 10% of the overall fleet capacity. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure employment for our idle turbines or buyers for the diesel power modules in the near term.

 

Many of our office staff continue to work remotely. As the various jurisdictions in which we operate begin to re-open, we are evaluating the return to our offices, business travel and physical meetings consistent with local health authority directives and recommendations.

 

We continuously monitor the COVID-19 situation, as well as our customers’ response thereto, and make all necessary preparations to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact to our Company.

Operating Results Containership Leasing Segment

Ownership Days are the number of days a vessel is owned and available for charter. Ownership Days On-Hire are the number of days a vessel is available to the charterer for use. The primary driver of Ownership Days is the increase or decrease in the number of vessels in our fleet.

Total Ownership Days increased by 663 days for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with the same period in 2020. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily due to the delivery of the seven vessels after September 2020, which contributed 551 days.

Vessel Utilization represents the number of Ownership Days On-Hire as a percentage of Total Ownership Days. The following table summarizes Seaspan’s Vessel Utilization for the last eight consecutive quarters:

Operating Results – Mobile Power Generation

 

Average Megawatt Capacity is the average maximum megawatts that can be generated by the power fleet. The primary driver of Average Megawatt Capacity is the increase or decrease in the number of power generating units in the power fleet. Average Megawatt On-Hire is the amount of capacity that is under contract and available to the customer for use. Power Fleet Utilization represents Average Megawatt On-Hire as a percentage of Average Megawatt Capacity.

 

The following table summarizes the Power Fleet Utilization, for the last eight consecutive quarters:

Power fleet utilization in comparative periods has been adjusted to reflect average utilization during the quarter.

 

Power Fleet Utilization increased for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared with the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to APR entering into contracts to provide more megawatts due to significantly higher summer demands. This resulted in higher contracted and operating megawatts.

Financial Results Summary

Revenue

Revenue increased by 17.0% to $451.9 million and by 15.1% to $1,218.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in average charter rates for its existing vessels and contribution from the delivery of six vessels after September 2020.

Operating Expense

Operating expense increased by 10.1% to $86.1 million and by 19.6% to $245.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2020. The increase was primarily due to additional expenses related to supplying higher power generation capacity and growth in Seaspan’s operating fleet.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 2.6% to $106.6 million and by 7.6% to $284.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2020. The increase was primarily due to the delivery of six vessels between September 2020 and September 2021.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense decreased by 21.3% to $16.6 million and increased by 8.4% to $55.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the $3.9 million change in fair value gain of the contingent considerations asset. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the inclusion of APR Energy general and administrative expenses for a full period in 2021 compared to a partial period in 2020 and an increase in general corporate expenses including non-cash share-based compensation partially offset by the change in fair value of the contingent consideration asset.

Loss on debt extinguishment

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, there was a $70.9 million and $127.0 million non-cash charge for loss on debt extinguishment related to early debt settlement.

Operating Lease Expense

Operating lease expense decreased by 1.4% to $36.5 million and by 3.8% to $109.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared with the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR.

Total borrowings is a non-GAAP financial measure which comprises of long-term debt and other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees. The Company’s total borrowings include amounts related to vessels under construction, consisting primarily of amounts borrowed to pay installments to shipyards. The interest incurred on borrowings related to the vessels under construction are capitalized during the construction period. Total borrowings and operating borrowings are non-GAAP financial measures that are not defined under or prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Disclosure of total borrowings and operating borrowings is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Interest expense increased by $4.7 million to $50.0 million and by $5.7 million to $151.4 million to for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared with the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes and Bonds (each as defined below), partially offset by the decrease in LIBOR rates.

 

Loss on Derivative Instruments

The change in fair value of derivative instruments resulted in a loss of $0.2 million and a gain of $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The loss for this period was primarily due to a decrease in the LIBOR forward curve and the impact of swap settlements.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps are subject to, and the fair value of our Fairfax derivative put instruments (which are no longer outstanding) were subject to, change based on our company specific credit risk included in the discount factor and current swap curve, including its relative steepness. In determining the fair value, these factors are based on current information available to us. These factors are expected to change through the life of the instruments, causing the fair value to fluctuate significantly due to the large notional amounts and long-term nature of our derivative instruments. As these factors may change, the fair value of the instruments is an estimate and may deviate significantly from the actual cash settlements realized during the term of the instruments. Our valuation techniques have not changed, and we believe that such techniques are consistent with those followed by other valuation practitioners.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps is most significantly impacted by changes in the yield curve. Based on the current notional amount and tenor of our interest rate swap portfolio, a one percent parallel shift in the overall yield curve is expected to result in a change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps of approximately $22.4 million. Actual changes in the yield curve are not expected to occur equally at all points and changes to the curve may be isolated to periods of time. This steepening or flattening of the yield curve may result in greater or lesser changes to the fair value of our financial instruments in a particular period than would occur had the entire yield curve changed equally at all points.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps is also impacted by changes in our company-specific credit risk included in the discount factor. We discount our derivative instruments with reference to the corporate Bloomberg industry yield curves. Based on the current notional amount and tenor of our swap portfolio, a one percent change in the discount factor is expected to result in a change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps of approximately $0.5 million.

The fair value of the Fairfax derivative put instruments at each reporting period was subject to changes in our company specific credit risk and the risk-free yield curve. With the Amendment of the Fairfax Notes in June 2021, the put option was eliminated.

Our fair value instruments, including interest rate swaps and put instruments were marked to market with all changes in the fair value of these instruments recorded in “Change in fair value of financial instruments” in our Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Effects of Hyperinflation

APR Energy operates in Argentina, where repatriation of cash generated from operations is subject to the country’s historically unpredictable currency regulations, resulting in the creation of a two-tiered currency market. Under current currency controls, the amount of cash in pesos convertible to US dollars using the rate available at the central bank (the “Central Bank rate”) is limited. Thus, the remaining pesos are converted using the Blue-Chip swap market, at approximately a 49.2% discount to the Central Bank rate as at September 30, 2021.

Losses realized on repatriation is included in “Other Expenses” in our Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations when incurred.

To compensate us for losses being incurred by APR Energy on repatriation of Argentinian Pesos, the Sellers of APR Energy agreed to indemnify Atlas for repatriation losses incurred, until the earlier of (1) reaching the maximum cash flows subject to compensation, (2) termination of specified contracts, (3) sustaining the ability to repatriate cash without losses and (4) April 30, 2022. The maximum amount of cash flows subject to compensation is $110.0 million. This indemnity arrangement is included as a contingent consideration asset in “Other Assets” on our Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet, measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with gains or losses reflected in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The fair value of the contingent consideration asset is subject to fluctuations in the difference between the Central Bank rate and Blue-Chip swap market rate, as well as our estimate of the amount of cash we expect to repatriate. These factors are estimates and are expected to change through the life of the indemnity arrangement, causing the fair value to fluctuate significantly. Based on current expectations of cash repatriation, an increase of 5% in the discount on the Central Bank rate will result in an approximately $1.5 million increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration asset. As these factors may change, the fair value of the contingent consideration asset is an estimate and may deviate significantly from the actual cash settlements realized from the Sellers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2021, we have total liquidity of $957.1 million, consisting of $257.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $699.5 million of undrawn commitments under available revolving credit facilities and term loan. Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund our operating expenses, investments in assets including vessels under construction, debt repayments, lease payments, swap settlements, payment of quarterly dividends and payments on our other financing arrangements. Our medium-term liquidity needs primarily relate to debt repayments, vessel purchase commitments, lease payments, and payments on our other financing arrangements. Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to potential future acquisitions, lease payments, debt repayments including repayment of our notes, the potential future redemption of our preferred shares and payments on our other financing arrangements. Please read note 11 “Long-term debt”, note 12 “Operating lease liabilities”, note 13 “Other financing arrangements” and note 16 “Share capital” in our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash from operations, and existing and new credit facilities and other financing arrangements. We anticipate our medium and long-term sources of funds will be from cash from operations, new credit facilities, lease facilities and capital markets financings to the extent available.

Our Credit Facilities

We primarily use our credit facilities to finance the construction and acquisition of assets. As at September 30, 2021, our credit facilities are secured by first-priority mortgages granted on 69 of our vessels and substantially all of our power generation assets, together with other related security, such as assignments of lease contracts, earnings for our assets, assignments of insurances and management agreements for vessels.

As of September 30, 2021, we had $2.3 billion outstanding under our revolving credit facilities and term loan credit facilities excluding deferred financing fees. In addition, there is $520.0 million available to be drawn under our revolving credit facilities.

Interest payments on our revolving credit facilities are based on LIBOR plus margins, which ranged between 0.5% and 2.3% as of September 30, 2021.

Interest payments on our term loan credit facilities are based on LIBOR plus margins, which ranged between 0.4% and 3.5% as of September 30, 2021. For a portion of one of our term loans, interest is calculated based on the reference rate of KEXIM plus a margin, which was 0.7% as of September 30, 2021. One of our term loan credit facilities bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.7%. Two of our term loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.8%.

The Company may prepay certain amounts outstanding without penalty, other than breakage costs in certain circumstances, with the exception of one term loan credit facility, where the Company may prepay borrowings up to March 6, 2023 with penalties and thereafter without penalty. A prepayment may be required as a result of certain events, including change of control and, where applicable, the sale or loss of assets or a termination or expiration of certain lease agreements (and the inability to enter into a lease replacing the terminated or expired lease suitable to lenders within a period of time). The amount that must be prepaid may be calculated based on the loan to market value. In these circumstances, valuations of the Company’s assets are conducted on a “without lease” and/or “orderly liquidation” basis as required under the credit facility agreement.

Each credit facility contains a mix of financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum liquidity, tangible net worth, interest and principal coverage ratios, and debt-to-assets ratios, as defined. Certain facilities are guaranteed by an intermediate parent entity, in which case the parent entity must meet certain consolidated financial covenants under those term loan facilities including maintaining certain minimum tangible net worth, cash requirements and debt-to-asset ratios.

Some of the facilities also have an interest and principal coverage ratio, debt service coverage and vessel value requirement for the subsidiary borrower. We were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2021.

Notes

As of September 30, 2021, we had an aggregate of $2.0 billion outstanding under our 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2027, our 3.75% exchangeable senior notes due 2025 (the “Exchangeable Notes”), our 6.5% senior unsecured bonds due 2024 (the “2024 Bonds”), our 6.5% senior unsecured bonds due 2026 ( the “2026 Bonds” and together with the 2024 Bonds, the “Bonds”), our 5.50% senior unsecured notes due 2029, and sustainability-linked senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”), excluding deferred financing fees.

As of September 30, 2021, there were no Fairfax Notes outstanding.

Our 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2027 are callable at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, any time. In the event of certain changes in withholding taxes, at our option, we may redeem our 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2027 and Fairfax Notes, in each case in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the applicable notes), each holder of such notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes at a purchase price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Our Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at the holders’ option into an aggregate 15,474,817 Atlas common shares at an initial exchange price of $13.005 per share, the cash equivalent or a combination thereof, as elected by us, at any time on or after September 15, 2025, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain market price triggers, significant corporate events, or in response to early redemption elected by us. The holders may require us to redeem the Exchangeable Notes upon the occurrence of certain corporate events qualifying as a fundamental change in the business. We may redeem the Exchangeable Notes in connection with certain tax-related events or on any business day on or after December 20, 2023 and prior to September 15, 2025, if the last reported sale price of Atlas shares is at least 130.0% of the exchange price during a specified measurement period. A redemption of the Exchangeable Notes is made at 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the Exchangeable Notes, we entered into capped call transactions using $15.5 million in proceeds from the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes to reduce the potential dilution to Atlas shares and/or offset any cash payments that are required upon an exchange, up to a maximum share price.

In February and April 2021, we issued $200.0 million and $300.0 million of Bonds, respectively. The Bonds bear interest at 6.5% per annum and mature in February 2024 and April 2026, respectively. Upon maturity, 100.0% of the principal balance is due or 100.5% if certain sustainability-linked targets are not achieved, except in the event of certain eligible changes in tax law. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or a De-Listing event (as defined in the relevant Bond Terms), each holder of Bonds will have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s Bonds at a purchase price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

On May 21 and August 12, 2021, we issued an aggregate $500.0 million of Senior Secured Notes, which bear interest between 3.91% and 4.26% and mature between 2031 and 2036. The Senior Secured Notes are secured by the same portfolio of vessels as our Program.

On July 14, 2021, the Company issued $750.0 million of senior unsecured notes. These notes mature in 2029 and accrue interest at 5.50% per annum.

Please read “Significant Developments During the Quarter-ended September 30, 2021” for additional information.

Operating Leases

As of September 30, 2021, we had 14 vessel operating lease arrangements. Under 13 of the operating lease arrangements, we may purchase the vessels for a predetermined fair value purchase price. For the remaining lease, we may purchase the vessel at the end of the lease term for the greater of the fair market value and a predetermined amount. As of September 30, 2021, we had total commitments, excluding purchase options, under vessel operating leases from 2021 to 2029 of approximately $814.1 million.

Under our operating lease arrangements, subject to payment of a specified termination sum, we may voluntarily terminate the arrangement in certain circumstances. We may also be required to terminate and pay a termination sum as specified in the agreements in certain circumstances, such as a termination or expiry of a charter (where we do not enter into a charter suitable to the counterparties within a required period of time).

Other Financing Arrangements

We enter into financing arrangements consisting of financing sale-leaseback and failed sales arrangements with special purpose entities, which are consolidated by us as primary beneficiaries. These leases are provided by bank financial leasing owners who legally own our vessels through special purpose entities and are also granted other related security, such as assignments of time charters, earnings for the vessels, insurances for the vessels and management agreements for the vessels. We use these arrangements to finance the construction and acquisition of vessels, as well as certain of our operating vessels.

As of September 30, 2021, we have 20 vessels under these financing arrangements, which provided for borrowings of approximately $1.21 billion excluding deferred financing fees. Under these agreements, we may voluntarily terminate a lease agreement, subject to payment of a termination fee in certain circumstances. We are also required to prepay rental amounts, broken funding costs and other costs to the lessor in certain circumstances, such as a termination or expiry of a charter (where we do not enter into a charter acceptable to the lessors within a required period of time). If we default under these financing arrangements, our lessors could declare all outstanding amounts to be immediately due and payable and realize on the security granted under these arrangements.

For additional information about our credit and lease facilities and other financing arrangements, including, among other things, a description of certain related covenants, please read “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—C. Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our 2020 Annual Report.

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash flows from operating activities were $249.6 million and $645.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 respectively, an increase of $56.5 million and $163.0 million respectively compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase in net cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to the contribution of six vessels delivered to Seaspan after September 2020. For further discussion of changes in revenue and expenses, please read “Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021, Compared with Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020”.

 

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $606.3 million and $1.457.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 respectively, an increase of cash flows used in investing activities of $436.1 million and $826.6 million respectively compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase in cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, was primarily due to the increase in expenditures on vessel acquisitions and installments on vessels under construction compared to the same periods in 2020.  

 

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash flows from financing activities were $23.3 million and $765.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 respectively, an increase of $48.8 million and $555.3 million respectively in cash from financing activities, compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher amounts drawn on existing and new credit facilities, net of repayments and redemption of preferred shares.

Ongoing Capital Expenditures and Dividends

Ongoing Capital Expenditures

The average age of the vessels in our containership fleet is approximately eight years, on a TEU-weighted basis. Capital expenditures for our containership fleet primarily relate to our regularly scheduled dry-dockings. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we completed 4 dry-dockings. For the remainder of 2021, we expect 8 additional vessels to complete dry-docking.

The average age of the diesel generators is approximately eleven years and the average age of the aero-derivative gas turbines in our power fleet is approximately eight years. Capital expenditures for these assets primarily relate to mobilization and decommissioning requirements included in substantially all rental contracts. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we did not mobilize any sites and decommissioned none. For the remainder of 2021, we do not expect to mobilize any sites but expect to decommission four sites.

We must make substantial capital expenditures over the long-term to preserve our capital base, which is comprised of our net assets, to continue to refinance our indebtedness and to maintain our dividends. We will likely need to retain additional funds at some time in the future to provide reasonable assurance of maintaining our capital base over the long-term. We believe it is not possible to determine now, with any reasonable degree of certainty, how much of our operating cash flow we should retain in our business and when it should be retained to preserve our capital base. The amount of operating cash flow we retain in our business will affect the amount of our dividends. Factors that will impact our decisions regarding the amount of funds to be retained in our business to preserve our capital base, include the following, many of which are currently unknown and are outside our control:

 

(1)

the remaining lives of our property plant and equipment;

 

(2)

the returns that we generate on our retained cash flow, which will depend on the economic terms of any future asset acquisitions and lease terms;

 

(3)

future contract rates for our assets after the end of their existing leases agreements;

 

(4)

our future operating and interest costs;

 

(5)

future operating and financing costs; 

 

(6)

our future refinancing requirements and alternatives and conditions in the relevant financing and capital markets at that time;

42

 


 

 

 

(7)

capital expenditures to comply with environmental regulations and asset retirement obligations; and

 

(8)

unanticipated future events and other contingencies.

Please read “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report for factors that may affect our future capital expenditures and results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. Our estimates affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. For more information about our critical accounting estimates, please read “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—D. Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2020 Annual Report.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Discontinuation of LIBOR

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which provides optional relief for the discontinuation of LIBOR resulting from rate reform. Contract terms that are modified due to the replacement of a reference rate are not required to be remeasured or reassessed under FASB’s relevant U.S. GAAP Topic. The election is available by Topic. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022 and may be applied from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Debt with conversion and other options

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)”, which simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments by reducing the number of accounting models and circumstances when embedded conversion features are separately recognized. This update also revises the method in which diluted earnings per share is calculated related to certain instruments with conversion features, among other clarifications. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2021, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. We use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate price risks. We do not use interest rate swaps for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2021 our variable-rate credit facilities totaled $3.4 billion, of which we had entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the rates on a notional principal amount of $983.1 million. These interest rate swaps have a fair value of $36.2 million in the counterparties’ favor.

The tables below provide information about our financial instruments at September 30, 2021 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. In addition to the disclosures in this interim report, please read note 12 to 14 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2020 Annual Report, which provide additional information with respect to our existing credit and lease facilities.

Counterparties to these financial instruments may expose us to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance. As of September 30, 2021, these financial instruments are in the counterparties’ favor. We have considered and reflected the risk of non-performance by us in the fair value of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2021. As part of our consideration of non-performance risk, we perform evaluations of our counterparties for credit risk through ongoing monitoring of their financial health and risk profiles to identify funding risk or changes in their credit ratings.

Counterparties to these agreements are major financial institutions, and we consider the risk of loss due to non-performance to be minimal. We do not require collateral from these institutions. We do not hold and will not issue interest rate swaps for trading purposes.
