Profit Guidance
For the Financial Period Ended: 30-06-2013
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Samudera Shipping Line Ltd (the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") wishes to issue a profit guidance with respect to the Group's results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2013 ("2Q2013").
Based on a preliminary review of the unaudited financial results of the Group, the Board will like to advise shareholders that the Group expects to report a net loss after tax for 2Q2013. The loss was due mainly to lower freight rate(s) and charter rate(s) as a result of oversupply of vessels across all three business segments of the Group namely Regional Container Shipping, Indonesia Domestic Container Shipping and Bulk Carrier, Offshore & Tanker business.
Further details of the Group's financial performance will be disclosed when the Company announces its unaudited financial results for 2Q2013 on or after 30 July 2013.
