Recent Developments:

Quarterly common unit cash distribution: On July 5, 2018, the Partnership announced a quarterly cash distribution of $0.25 per common unit in respect of the second quarter of 2018 which was paid on July 19, 2018 to all common unitholders of record as of July 12, 2018.

Series A Preferred Units Cash Distribution: On July 25, 2018, the Partnership also announced a cash distribution of $0.5625 per unit of its Series A Preferred Units (NYSE: DLNG PR A) for the period from May 12, 2018 to August 11, 2018, which is expected to be paid on August 13, 2018 to all unitholders of record as of August 5, 2018.

CEO Commentary:

Tony Lauritzen, Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership, commented:

“We are pleased to report our earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

“Our reported earnings for the second quarter of 2018 were in line with our expectations and were above those for the second quarter of 2017, but below those for the first quarter of 2018. Our earnings were impacted by: (i) the temporary employment of the Clean Energy in the short-term market until July 13, 2018, at which time the vessel commenced employment on a time charter with Gazprom for a term of approximately eight years, (ii) the completion of the multiyear charter contract with Gazprom for the Ob River in April 2018 and the subsequent employment of the vessel with the same company at a lower rate of hire reflecting a longer charter term of ten years, and (iii) the scheduled dry-docking of the Arctic Aurora in May 2018.

“We believe the Yamal LNG project is progressing well. On July 1, 2018, Yamal narrowed the delivery windows for both the Yenisei River and the Lena River to the earliest possible allowed under their respective 15 year charter contracts.

“On July 21, 2018, the Yenisei River completed the five year term of its employment contract with Gazprom. Following the redelivery of the vessel to the Partnership, the vessel is undergoing its five year special survey which is expected to be completed in mid-August 2018. After the completion of the special survey, we expect to employ the Yenisei River in the short-term market until the vessel commences its 15 year contract with Yamal.

“Following redelivery from Gazprom in October 2018 and the completion of its special survey, the Lena River is contracted to be employed on a multi-month charter contact with a large gas producer until the vessel commences its 15 year contract with Yamal.

“On July 19, 2018, we paid quarterly cash distribution of $0.25 per common unit with respect to the second quarter of 2018. Since our initial public offering in November 2013, we have paid total cash distributions of $7.29 per common unit. In addition, on August 13, 2018, we expect to pay a cash distribution of $0.5625 per unit on our Series A Preferred Units for the period from May 12, 2018 to August 11, 2018.

“We believe that we have significant cash flow visibility with contracted vessel employment for approximately 85% of 2018, 99% of 2019 and 100% of 2020, and with an estimated Fleet-wide average remaining contract duration of 10.1 years.

“Our intent is to seek additional contract coverage, particularly in 2018, to manage our capital structure and operating expenses, and to continue the safe operation of our Fleet.

“We look forward to working towards meeting our goals, which we believe will continue to benefit our unitholders.”

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 Financial Results

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.4 million as compared to net loss of $5.2 million in the corresponding period of 2017, which represents an increase of $5.5 million, or 106.8%. The increase in period net income was mainly attributable to:

(i)

the decrease in dry-dock and special survey expenditures by $2.7 million, or 54.6%,  for the second quarter of 2018, during which one vessel in our fleet, the Arctic Aurora, underwent scheduled special survey and dry-dock, as compared to the corresponding quarter of 2017 during which the three steam turbine vessels in our fleet underwent scheduled special survey and dry-dock repairs;

(ii)

the decrease in the second quarter of 2018 operating expenses by $1.6 million, or 21.2%, due to crewing and technical efficiencies achieved during the 2018 quarter under discussion as compared to the corresponding quarter of 2017; and

(iii)

the decrease in interest and finance costs for the second quarter of 2018 by approximately $1.1 million, or 8.4%, due to the fact that in the corresponding period of 2017 we incurred interest and finance costs of approximately $3.5 million in connection with our Term Loan B refinancing in May 2017 (the “Term Loan B Refinancing”) and accompanying retirement of our then existing bank debt. This decrease was largely offset by the increase in the Partnership’s weighted average interest in the second quarter of 2018 which was the result of increased interest charges in servicing the Partnership’s secured debt that was refinanced as part of the Term Loan B Refinancing, discussed above.

Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $4.5 million as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $4.2 million in the corresponding period of 2017, which represents an increase of $0.3 million, or 7.3%.  Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $24.4 million as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $22.9 million in the corresponding period of 2017, which represents an increase of $1.5 million, or 6.6%. The increase in both the second quarter 2018  Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the corresponding period of 2017 was mainly attributable to crewing and technical efficiencies achieved during the second quarter of 2018, as discussed above.

The Partnership’s Distributable Cash Flow for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $8.7 million as compared to $8.2 million in the corresponding period of 2017, which represents an increase of $0.5 million, or 5.7%, and was due to the factors outlined above.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Partnership reported loss per common unit and Adjusted Earnings per common unit, basic and diluted, of   $0.04 and $0.08, respectively, after taking into account the effect of the Series A Preferred Units interest on the Partnership’s net income. Losses per common unit and Adjusted Earnings per common unit, basic and diluted are calculated on the basis of a weighted average number of 35,490,000 units outstanding during the period, in the case of Adjusted Earnings per common unit after reflecting the impact of the non-cash items presented in Appendix B.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Earnings per common unit are not recognized measures under U.S. GAAP. Please refer to Appendix B for the definitions and reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Voyage revenues were $30.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $32.0 million for the same period of 2017, which represents a decrease of $1.1 million, or 3.4%.  This decrease was due to (i) the twelve off-hire days for the Arctic Aurora in the second quarter of 2018 as the vessel underwent its scheduled special survey and dry-dock in May 2018 and (ii) the lower revenues earned on our steam turbine vessel, the Ob River, which completed employment on its multiyear charter contract with Gazprom Global LNG Limited (“Gazprom”) in April 2018 and subsequently began employment at a lower hire rate under a ten-year charter party with an entity which is part of the wider Gazprom group of companies.

Vessel operating expenses were $5.9 million, which corresponds to a daily rate of $10,808 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $7.5 million, or a daily rate of $13,720 for the corresponding period of 2017. This decrease is primarily associated with crewing and technical efficiencies achieved during the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the corresponding period of 2017, as discussed above.

Interest and finance costs were $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2017, which represents a decrease of $1.1 million, or 8.4%. As discussed above, this decrease was due to the one-off interest and finance charges incurred in the corresponding period of 2017 in connection with the refinancing of our then existing secured indebtedness in the Term Loan B Refinancing. This decrease was partially offset by the increased interest costs in servicing the Term Loan B in the second quarter of 2018 in relation to those incurred in the second quarter of 2017.

The Partnership reported average daily hire gross of commissions ⁽¹⁾  of approximately $61,500 per day per vessel in the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to approximately $66,900 per day per vessel in the same period of 2017. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Partnership’s vessels operated at 97% utilization as compared to 95% utilization in the same period of 2017.

⁽¹⁾ Average daily hire gross of commissions , which is further discussed in Appendix B,  represents voyage revenue without taking into consideration the non-cash time charter amortization expense and amortization of prepaid charter revenue, divided by the Available Days in the Partnership’s fleet

Amounts relating to variations in period–on–period comparisons shown in this section are derived from the condensed financial statements presented below.

Liquidity/ Financing/ Cash Flow Coverage

As of June 30, 2018, the Partnership reported free cash of $57.8 million. Total indebtedness outstanding as of June 30, 2018 was $725.2 million (gross of unamortized deferred loan fees), which includes amounts outstanding under the Term Loan B and the Partnership’s $250.0 million senior unsecured notes due October 2019. As of June 30, 2018, $4.8 million of the Partnership’s outstanding indebtedness was repayable within one year.  

The Partnership’s liquidity profile is further enhanced by the $30.0 million of borrowing capacity under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility with its Sponsor, which is available to the Partnership at any time until November 2018 and remains available in its entirety as of the date of this release.

As of June 30, 2018, the Partnership reported working capital surplus of $42.3 million (Q4 2017: $47.5 million).

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Partnership generated net cash from operating activities of $8.6 million as compared to $11.4 million in the same period of 2017, which represents a decrease of $2.8 million, or 24.3%. This decrease was attributable to the decrease in period net income due to the factors discussed above which was, however, to a large extent counterbalanced by the positive effect of variations in working capital.  

Vessel Employment

As of July 27, 2018, the Partnership had estimated contracted time charter coverage⁽²⁾ for 85% of its fleet estimated Available Days (as defined in Appendix B) for the remaining 2018, 99% of its fleet estimated Available Days for 2019 and 100% of its fleet estimated Available Days for 2020.

As of the same date, the Partnership’s contracted revenue backlog estimate ⁽³⁾ was approximately $1.44 billion, with an average remaining contract term of 10.1 years.  

⁽²⁾ Time charter coverage for the Partnership’s fleet is calculated by dividing the fleet contracted days on the basis of the earliest estimated delivery and redelivery dates prescribed in the Partnership’s current time charter contracts net of scheduled class survey repairs by the number of expected Available days during that period.

⁽³⁾ The Partnership calculates its estimated contracted revenue backlog by multiplying the contractual daily hire rate by the expected number of days committed under the contracts (assuming earliest delivery and redelivery and excluding options to extend), assuming full utilization. The actual amount of revenues earned and the actual periods during which revenues are earned may differ from the amounts and periods disclosed due to, for example, dry-docking and/or special survey downtime, maintenance projects, off-hire downtime and other factors that result in lower revenues than the Partnership’s average contract backlog per day. Certain time charter contracts that the Partnership recently entered into with Yamal Trade Pte. are subject to the satisfaction of important conditions, which, if not satisfied, or waived by the charterer, may result in their cancellation or amendment before or after the charter term commences and in such case the Partnership may not receive the contracted revenues thereunder.

Vessel daily operating expenses (6)	$	10,808	$	13,720	$	11,272	$	13,040

 

       (1)  Represents the number of vessels that constituted the Partnership’s fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was a part of its fleet during the period divided by the number of Calendar Days (defined below) in the period.

       (2)  Calendar Days are the total days the Partnership possessed the vessels in its fleet for the relevant period.

       (3)  Available Days are the total number of Calendar Days the Partnership’s vessels were in its possession during a period, less the total number of scheduled off-hire days during the period associated with major repairs, or dry-dockings.

       (4)  The Partnership calculates fleet utilization by dividing the number of its Revenue earning days, which are the total number of Available Days of the Partnership’s vessels net of unscheduled off-hire days, during a period, by the number of Available Days during that period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons such as unscheduled repairs but excluding scheduled off-hires for vessel upgrades, dry-dockings or special or intermediate surveys.

      (5)  Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE rate, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. For time charters, this is calculated by dividing total voyage revenues, less any voyage expenses, by the number of Available Days during that period. Under a time charter, the charterer pays substantially all vessel voyage related expenses. However, the Partnership may incur voyage related expenses when positioning or repositioning vessels before or after the period of a time charter, during periods of commercial waiting time or while off-hire during dry-docking or due to other unforeseen circumstances. The TCE rate is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP (non-GAAP measure), and should not be considered as an alternative to voyage revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a company’s performance and assists the Partnership’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of the Partnership’s vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. The Partnership’s calculation of TCE rates may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reflects the calculation of the Partnership’s TCE rates for the three and six months  ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except for TCE rates, which are expressed in U.S. dollars, and Available Days):

		Three Months Ended       June 30,				Six Months Ended           June 30,
		2018		2017		2018		2017
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except for Available Days and TCE rate)
Voyage revenues	$	30,892	$	31,975	$	64,796	$	71,067
Voyage Expenses (7)		(622)		(1,345)		(1,243)		(2,217)
Time Charter equivalent revenues	$	30,270	$	30,630	$	63,553	$	68,850
Available Days (3)		534.0		506.6		1,074.0		1,046.6
Time charter equivalent (TCE) rate	$	56,685	$	60,462	$	59,174	$	65,784

       (6)  Daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, spares and repairs and flag taxes, are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by fleet Calendar Days for the relevant time period.

      (7)  Voyage expenses include commissions of 1.25% paid to Dynagas Ltd., the Partnership’s Manager, and third party ship brokers, when defined in the charter parties, bunkers, port expenses and other minor voyage expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	24,443		$	22,921		$	51,033		$	54,192

⁽¹⁾ Includes interest and finance costs and interest income, if any.

The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest and finance costs, net of interest income (if any), gains/losses on derivative financial instruments (if any), taxes (when incurred), depreciation and amortization (when incurred), class survey costs and significant non-recurring items (if any). Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess the Partnership’s operating performance.

The Partnership believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists its management and investors by providing useful information that increases the ability to compare the Partnership’s operating performance from period to period and against that of other companies in its industry that provide Adjusted EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies of interest, other financial items, depreciation and amortization and taxes, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. The Partnership believes that including Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance benefits investors in (a) selecting between investing in the Partnership and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring the Partnership’s ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to continue to hold common units.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA as presented above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Less: Adjusted Net Income attributable to subordinated, preferred unitholders and general partner		(1,690)			(1,707)				(3,383)			(4,848)
Common unitholders’ interest in Adjusted Net Income	$	2,836		$	2,513			$	8,375		$	14,277
Weighted average number of common units outstanding, basic and diluted:		35,490,000			35,490,000				35,490,000			33,585,829
Adjusted Earnings per common unit, basic and diluted	$	0.08		$	0.07			$	0.24		$	0.43

Adjusted Net Income represents net income before non-recurring expenses (if any), charter hire amortization related to time charters with escalating time charter rates and amortization of fair value of acquired time charters, all of which are significant non-cash items. Adjusted Net Income available to common unitholders represents the common unitholders interest in Adjusted Net Income for each period presented. Adjusted Earnings per common unit represents Adjusted Net Income attributable to common unitholders divided by the weighted average common units outstanding during each period presented.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per common unit and Adjusted Earnings per common unit, basic and diluted, are not recognized measures under U.S. GAAP and should not

be regarded as substitutes for net income and earnings per unit, basic and diluted. The Partnership’s definition of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per common unit and Adjusted Earnings per common unit, basic and diluted, may not be the same at that reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries. The Partnership believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per unit available to common unitholders are useful to investors because they facilitate the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Partnership’s industry. In addition, the Partnership believes that Adjusted Net Income is useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in the Partnership’s industry because the calculation of Adjusted Net Income generally eliminates the accounting effects of items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. The Partnership’s presentation of Adjusted Net Income available to common unitholders and Adjusted Earnings per common unit should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Distributable Cash Flow	$	8,670	$	8,200		$	19,956	$	26,834

⁽¹⁾ Includes interest and finance costs and interest income, if any.

Distributable Cash Flow with respect to any period presented means Adjusted EBITDA after considering period interest and finance costs and estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. Estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures, including estimated expenditures for drydocking, represent capital expenditures required to maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by the Partnership’s capital assets. Distributable Cash Flow is a quantitative standard used by investors in publicly-traded partnerships to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. The Partnership’s calculation of the Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Distributable Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
