Sinotrans Shipping announced final dividend of US$38 cents per share, corresponding to a 47.6% dividend payout ratio, higher than our expectation. This move demonstrated the management's confidence on Sinotrans Shipping's future cash flow to some extent. Based on calculations, the Company recorded 2H17 shareholders' profit of US$24 mn, benefiting from continued recovery of the dry bulk shipping market. We believe that the global shipping market, represented by dry bulk shipping and container shipping, bottomed out after 2016. Trending from the recovery in 2017, BDI is still in its early stages of recovery and Sinotrans Shipping's profitability will enhance. 18 April 2018 Figure-1: BDI Component Indexes Performance Figure-2: BDI and the Company's Breakeven Level BCI: Capesize BPI: Panamax BDI BSI: Supramax BSI: Handysize 2,500 4,000 2,000 3,500 3,000 1,500 2,500 2,000 1,000 1,500 Sinotrans Shipping's breakeven level 1,000 500 ] 2 r a M t h g i R _ e l b a T [ 500 0 0 Source: The Baltic Exchange, Guotai Junan International.

The segment’s 2017 revenue grew 32.7% YoY to US$489.1 mn, slightly lower than our expectation. Average age of self-owned vessels reduced from 6.38 years in 2016 to 6.20 years at the end of 2017, indicating the Company’s high efficiency in optimizing fleet portfolio. Average daily charter hire/time charter equivalent (“TCE”) rate of self-owned vessels was US$10,458, up 60.4% (00368 HK) YoY. By March 2018, Sinotrans Shipping’s dry bulk fleet’s deadweight tonne ("DWT") capacity totaled 6.64 mn tonnes, of which, 50% capacity was chartered in. Regarding the remaining 50% of self-owned vessels, Sinotrans Shipping expected 80% of the self-owned capacity to be price locked-in for 2018, while these locked-in freights guarantees relatively stable profit margins. In 中外运航运 our opinion, locked-in shipping prices (over spot market average) guarantees Sinotrans Shipping’s stable margins, while the flexible fleet structure also allows the Company to achieve a certain amount of exposure to arbitrage activities in the spot. So far, Sinotrans Shipping's dry bulk operating structure and strategy are forward-looking, and we expect the segment's revenue to increase 16.5% YoY in 2018 amid an overall upturn in industry trend.

We believe that Sinotrans Shipping will continue to benefit from industry recovery in 2018. Benefiting from] order1 r digestiona M t h andg i vesselR _ scrappinge l b a T [ over the past 3 years, the ratio of orders-on-hand/existing capacity had reached a historical low (7.0%) of the dry bulk shipping industry in March 2018. Due to the slow pace of vessel delivery, we expect 2018/2019 dry bulk shipping capacity YoY growth to be 2.0%/1.5%. Considering the upcoming launch of the 2019 and 2020 Ballest Water Convention and tightened regulations of using low-sulfur fuel, we expect the dry bulk shipping industry's capacity growth to be more restrained after 2018. On the other hand, benefiting from global economic growth, we estimate 2018/2019 dry bulk shipping demand growth to be 3.8%/3.0%, exceeding growth from the supply side.
