FRONTLINE 2012 LTD. REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
Frontline 2012 Ltd. (the "Company" or "Frontline 2012"), today reported unaudited results for the period ended September 30, 2015.

· Frontline 2012 achieved net income from continuing operations of $61.9 million, or $0.26 per share, for the third quarter of 2015 and net income from continuing operations of $196.8 million, or $0.82 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

· In August 2015, the Company received $14.6 million from STX Dalian in respect of two cancelled newbuilding contracts and recorded a gain of $3.0 million in the third quarter.

Robert Hvide Macleod, Chief Executive Officer of Frontline Management AS commented:

"We are very pleased to report our strongest third quarter ever with net income attributable to the Company of $61.9 million, or $0.26 per share. 

The strength of the tanker market was driven primarily by high demand for low priced oil, a dynamic which continued from the second quarter. The high demand for oil has led to congestion in key ports around the world, which creates more demand for tanker vessels.  Also of note, ballast speeds increased during the third quarter, returning to normal levels.  We believe that this is a strong sign that capacity is being absorbed.  Indeed, current fleet utilization is at levels not seen since 2009. 

The average daily time charter equivalents ("TCEs") earned through a combination of spot and time charters in the third quarter by the Company's VLCCs and Suezmax tankers were $47,500 and $29,000, respectively. Several of our tankers were fixed for positioning voyages in the third quarter, which reduced average TCEs.  The positioning voyages were made to strategically position the vessels ahead of the fourth quarter, which in the past has yielded seasonally higher rates.
 
The product tanker market was also strong throughout the third quarter. TCEs earned through a combination of spot and time charters in the third quarter by the Company's LR2 tankers and MR tankers were $27,000 and $25,700, respectively.  Demand for refined petroleum products remains robust.  Africa and Australia imports are helping to drive the market and trading volumes are high worldwide on the back of strong refinery margins.



Thus so far in the fourth quarter for our vessels employed in the spot market we have covered 76% of our VLCC operating days at TCE rates of approximately $48,400, 84% of our Suezmax operating days at rates of approximately $41,700, 65% of our LR2 tanker operating days at rates of approximately $36,900 and 54% of our MR tanker operating days at rates of approximately $19,000.  The VLCC TCE rates for the third quarter are negatively impacted by dockings. For the remaining 24% open capacity of the fourth quarter we expect to achieve higher rates than what we have booked so far in the quarter. Rates for vessels on time charters are naturally at lower levels than those that can be achieved on a spot basis in this strong market." 
Fleet Development

As of September 30, 2015, Frontline 2012's fleet consisted of six VLCC, six Suezmax crude oil tankers, six MR tankers and four LR2 vessels with an aggregate carrying capacity of 3.5 million dwt, as well as the newbuildings listed below.

During the third quarter, the Suezmax tanker, the Front Odin, was chartered out for a period of approximately 24 months from early November 2015 at a rate of $33,900 per day.

Newbuilding Program

As of September 30, 2015, the Company's newbuilding program comprised 14 LR2 newbuildings, six VLCC newbuildings and six Suezmax tanker newbuildings and the remaining commitments for the Company's 26 newbuilding contracts amounted to $1,386.5 million in the period 2015-2017.

The Company has cancelled all six of its MR tanker newbuilding contracts at STX Dalian and has received an aggregate refund of $44.3 million as of September 30, 2015, in respect of instalment payments made on five of the six contracts plus accrued interest. In October 2015, the Company received a refund of $11.9 million from STX Dalian for the sixth and final newbuilding contract and expects to record a gain of $2.9 million in the fourth quarter. The Company has no outstanding claims in respect of cancelled newbuilding contracts.

The Company delivered three VLGC newbuildings to Avance Gas Holding Ltd ("AGHL") in the third quarter and recorded a gain of $29.7 million. In October 2015, the Company delivered the eighth, and final, VLGC newbuilding to AGHL and expects to record a gain of approximately $9.2 million in the fourth quarter resulting from this delivery.

Market update
 
World oil supply currently is at its highest level ever at nearly 97 million barrels per day.  This, along with a strong demand for inexpensive crude oil, has led to the tanker fleet surpassing 85% utilization, the highest level seen in many years and a sign of a healthy market, assuming continuation of these levels of demand.  Increasing eastbound cargoes and new refinery projects in Asia are keeping tonne miles high, a trend the Company believes will continue.  Additionally, forced storage of oil on tankers due to a high supply of cargoes is contributing to a strong market.

The average rate for VLCCs trading on a standard 'TD3' voyage between the Arabian Gulf and Japan in the third quarter of 2015 was WS 55, or a daily time charter equivalents ("TCEs") of $58,002, and the average rate for a Suezmax trading on a standard 'TD20' voyage between West Africa and Rotterdam in the third quarter of 2015 was WS 73, or a TCE of $35,274. These average rates were slightly lower than the rates in the previous quarter.

The VLCC fleet totalled 645 vessels at the end of the quarter, and the Suezmax fleet totalled 450 vessels.  The order book for tankers represents approximately 17 % of the tanker fleet although a relatively small portion of the order book is expected to be delivered within the next six to 12 months.  Given the strength of the market, only a limited amount of scrapping activity has occurred.

For MR product tankers trading on a standard 'TC2' voyage between Rotterdam and New York the market rates for the third quarter of 2015 were WS 135, or a TCE of $18,532, and market rates for a LR2 product tanker trading on a standard "TC1" voyage between Middle East and Japan in the third quarter of 2015 were WS 133, or a TCE of $39,933.

Corporate update

On July 2, 2015, Frontline Ltd. ("Frontline") and Frontline 2012 announced that they have entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which the two companies have agreed to enter into a merger transaction, with Frontline 2012 becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Frontline. Frontline filed a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 24, 2015 covering the common shares to be issued by Frontline to Frontline 2012's shareholders in the merger.  The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on November 9, 2015. The shareholders' meetings of each of Frontline and Frontline 2012 are scheduled to be held on November 30, 2015.

On June 26, 2015, Frontline 2012 paid a stock dividend consisting of 75.4 million Golden Ocean Group Ltd. ("Golden Ocean") shares. The Company held 77.5 million shares prior to this stock dividend and retained 2.1 million shares. This stock dividend has triggered discontinued operations presentation of its results of operations from Golden Ocean. Income statement comparatives are presented on an equivalent basis.

Frontline 2012 generated net income from continuing operations of $196.8 million, or $0.82 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared with net income from continuing operations of $111.6 million, or $0.46 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net income from continuing operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a gain of $28.0 million in connection with the cancellation of four newbuilding contracts and a gain of $68.4 million on the delivery of seven VLGCs to AGHL. Net income from continuing operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a gain of $67.0 million on the cancellation of three newbuilding contracts and a gain of $16.9 million on the sale of shares in AGHL.

The TCEs earned in the spot and period market in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 by the Company's VLCCs and Suezmax tankers were $49,500 and $36,000, respectively, compared with $30,300 and $20,900, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The spot earnings for the Company's VLCC and Suezmax tankers were $52,800 and $39,100, respectively, compared with $29,500 and $20,900, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The TCEs earned in the spot market in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 by the Company's MR product tankers were $23,700, compared with $15,300 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The spot earnings for the Company's LR2 product tankers were $32,900 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

The net loss from discontinued operations of $131.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes an impairment loss of $40.6 million relating to the Company's shareholding in Golden Ocean and is attributable to the fall in Golden Ocean's share price from March 31, 2015 (the date from which the Company de-consolidated Golden Ocean) to June 26, 2015 (the date of the stock dividend of the Golden Ocean shares).

Strategy and Outlook

The shareholders' meetings of each of Frontline 2012 and Frontline to vote on the announced Merger Agreement are scheduled to be held on November 30, 2015.

Assuming shareholder approval and completion of the merger, Frontline together with its subsidiary Frontline 2012  (together, "the Surviving Company") will have a fleet of approximately 90 vessels, including vessels on commercial management, vessels on time charter in and newbuildings due for delivery in the next 24 months.  With a large modern fleet, a strong balance sheet and attractive cash break even rates, the Company believes that the Surviving Company should be equally well positioned to generate significant free cash in a strong market and to sustain a weak market.  The Company believes the Surviving Company will be well positioned to grow through acquisition and consolidation opportunities.
