Byline: Fledgling group earned $44.1m during its debut quarter, writes Tony Gray
SHIP Finance International, the new tanker owning subsidiary being spun-off by Frontline, is already examining transactions that could expand the company and take it beyond the crude carrier market.
This was disclosed as the fledgling unit reported a debut quarterly profit of $44.1m.
On the basis of 73.77m shares outstanding, this is equivalent to earnings per share of $0.59.
The company, which will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange on June 17, is paying a first quarter dividend of $0.25 per share.
Frontline is in the process of passing 25% of Ship Finance's shares to existing group shareholders and intends to dispose of the balance later this year.
