Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of SFL Corporation Ltd. (“SFL” or the “Company”) have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary in order to make the interim financial statements not misleading, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2024. The results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2024.

Basis of accounting

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries including variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The following is a brief discussion of a selection of recently released accounting pronouncements that are considered pertinent to the Company’s business and are not yet adopted.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). Among other things, these amendments require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments are effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the changes prescribed in ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, however, the Company will re-evaluate the amendments based on the facts and circumstances at the time of implementation of the guidance.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2024, interim periods within 2025 and will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2023-07 on the disclosures in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management of the Company believes that the accounting estimates and assumptions that have been made are appropriate given the continuing market volatility surrounding the impacts of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the developments in the Middle East and significant global inflationary pressures. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

3.EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period and the consolidated net income of the Company. Diluted EPS includes the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments. In the computation of the diluted EPS, the dilutive impact of the Company’s stock options is calculated using the “treasury stock” guidelines and the “if-converted” method is used for convertible securities.

The components of the numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

*The weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes 8,000,000 shares issued as part of a share lending arrangement relating to the Company’s issuance of 5.75% senior unsecured convertible notes in October 2016 and 3,765,842 shares issued as a part of a share lending arrangement relating to the Company’s issuance of 4.875% senior unsecured convertible notes in April and May 2018. The Company entered into a general share lending agreement with another counterparty and after the maturity of the bonds, 8,000,000 shares and 3,765,142 shares, respectively, from each issuance under the two initial share lending arrangements described above were transferred into such counterparty’s custody. The remaining 700 shares were held with the Company’s transfer agent before being cancelled in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding also excludes 1,095,095 shares repurchased by the Company under its Share Repurchase Program and held as treasury stock as of June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding balances and the principal amounts of the repurchased bonds, from the 4.875% senior unsecured convertible bonds due 2023 were anti-dilutive, assuming if converted, at the start of the period.

Interest rate risk management

The Company manages its debt portfolio with interest rate swap agreements denominated in U.S. dollars and Norwegian kroner to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating interest rates.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries had entered into interest rate swap transactions, involving the payment of fixed and floating rates in exchange for NIBOR or SOFR. The total net notional principal amount subject to interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2024, was $0.3 billion (December 31, 2023: $0.4 billion).

Foreign currency risk management

The Company is party to currency swap transactions, involving the payment of U.S. dollars in exchange for Norwegian kroner and the payment of Norwegian kroner in exchange for U.S. dollars, which are designated as hedges against the NOK600 million senior unsecured floating rate bonds due 2025. The total net notional principal amount subject to cross currency swap agreements as of June 30, 2024, was NOK0.6 billion (December 31, 2023: NOK1.3 billion).

Apart from the NOK600 million senior unsecured floating rate bonds due 2025, the majority of the Company’s transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the Company. Other than the corresponding currency swap transactions summarized above, the Company has not entered into forward contracts for either transaction or translation risk. Accordingly, there is a risk that currency fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the NOK700 million senior unsecured bonds due 2024 were redeemed in full. In conjunction with this redemption, several of the related swaps were terminated whilst the remaining matured in June 2024.

The estimated fair values of the floating rate NOK denominated bonds due 2025, the 7.25% senior unsecured sustainability-linked bonds due 2026, the 8.875% senior unsecured sustainability-linked bonds due 2027 and the 8.25% senior unsecured sustainability-linked bonds due 2028 are all based on their quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date.

The estimated fair value of interest rate and currency swap contracts is calculated using a well-established independent valuation technique applied to contracted cash flows and NIBOR or SOFR interest rates as of June 30, 2024.

Concentrations of risk

There is a concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents to the extent that amounts are carried with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, ABN AMRO, Nordea Bank Finland Plc, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, BNP Paribas Bank, UBS Group AG (previously Credit Suisse) and DNB Bank ASA. However, the Company believes this risk is remote, as these financial institutions are established and reputable establishments.

The Company does not require collateral or other securities to support financial instruments that are subject to credit risk however certain of the Company’s counterparties require the Company to periodically post collateral when the fair value of the financial instruments exceeds or is below specified thresholds. As of June 30, 2024, the other receivables balance within current assets in the consolidated balance sheets included $4.2 million (December 31, 2023: $7.1 million within other long-term assets) in relation to cash collateral posted by the Company.

There could also be a concentration of revenue risk with Maersk A/S to whom the Company charters several vessels and earns a significant proportion of its revenues. In addition, a portion of our net income is generated from our associated company, River Box Holding Inc. (“River Box”).

The Company has funded its acquisition of vessels, jack-up rig and harsh environment semi-submersible rig through a combination of equity, short term debt and long term debt. Providers of long term loan facilities usually require that the loans be secured by mortgages against the assets being acquired.

Other Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has arranged insurance for the legal liability risks for its shipping activities with various mutual protection and indemnity associations in which the Company is subject to calls payable to the associations based on the Company’s claims record in addition to the claims records of all other members of the associations. A contingent liability exists to the extent that the claims records of the members of the associations in the aggregate show significant deterioration, which may result in additional calls on the members. The Company also has similar partially mutual insurance arrangements for its rigs.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a signed drilling contract with Equinor Canada Ltd. (“Equinor”) for the harsh environment semi-submersible rig Hercules. The rig commenced drilling with Equinor in Canada in July 2024.

Capital commitments

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had committed to pay $267.6 million in relation to the acquisition of two remaining LR2 product tankers under construction from entities related to the Company’s largest shareholder, Hemen, and two LNG dual-fuel chemical tankers from unrelated third parties. One of the chemical tankers, SFL Aruba, was delivered in August 2024 and immediately commenced trading in a pool with Stolt Tankers. One of the LR2 product tankers, SFL Taurus, was also delivered in August 2024 and immediately commenced a long term charter to a third party. (See Note 17: Subsequent Events). The remaining two vessels are expected to be delivered in the third and fourth quarter of 2024 and are contracted to commence long term charters to third parties.

Also as of June 30, 2024, the drilling rig Linus was undergoing its second special periodic survey (“SPS”). The Company expects the remaining cost to be approximately $27.0 million in respect of the SPS and other upgrades.

Other contingencies

On March 5, 2023, SFL Hercules Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, served Seadrill Ltd. (“Seadrill”) with a claim filed in the Oslo District Court in Norway, relating to the redelivery of the drilling rig, Hercules, in December 2022. The Company has made the claim as it believes that the rig was not redelivered in the condition required under the contract with Seadrill and the Company is therefore seeking damages. The court case is currently scheduled to commence in mid-August 2024.

The Company is routinely party both as plaintiff and defendant to lawsuits in various jurisdictions under charter hire obligations arising from the operation of its vessels in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the resolution of such claims will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position. The Company has not recognized any contingent gains or losses arising from the pending results of any such lawsuits.

17.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2024, we issued $150.0 million in senior unsecured sustainability-linked bonds due 2028 in the Nordic high yield bond market. The bonds pay a coupon of 8.25% per annum, and net proceeds were used to refinance existing bonds and for general corporate purposes.

Also in April 2024, we exercised our call option on the NOK700 million senior unsecured floating rate bonds maturing in June 2024, thus extinguishing this debt in full.

In June 2024, we entered into a sale and leaseback transaction via a Japanese operating lease with call option financing structure for $37.0 million for the financing of the 2,500 TEU container vessel, Maersk Phuket.

Time charter revenues

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, time charter revenues were earned by 23 container vessels, seven car carriers, 15 dry bulk carriers, seven Suezmax tankers and seven product tankers. The 18% increase in time charter revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, was mainly as a result of the delivery of four new building car carriers and one product tanker between September 2023 and June 2024 and higher rates earned on two of our existing car carriers.

Voyage charter revenues

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, voyage charter revenues were earned by three dry bulk carriers which are sometimes chartered on a voyage-by-voyage basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, voyage charter revenues were earned by two Suezmax tankers, Glorycrown and Everbright, which were trading in a pool together with two similar tankers owned by Frontline, two chemical tankers and four dry bulk carriers which were occasionally chartered on a voyage-by-voyage basis. Voyage charter revenues decreased by 80% in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, mainly due to the sale of the two Suezmax tankers and the two chemical tankers between March 2023 and June 2023 to unrelated parties.

Drilling contract revenues

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we earned drilling contract revenues of $95.8 million from our two drilling rigs. The drilling rig Linus has been operational with ConocoPhillips, since its redelivery from Seadrill in September 2022. In May 2024, Linus underwent its second special periodic survey (“SPS”) which lasted until the end of July 2024. The drilling rig Hercules was operating under a drilling contract with Galp Energia in Namibia until May 2024 and then was mobilizing to Canada to commence another drilling contract with Equinor. Hercules commenced drilling with Equinor in July 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 drilling contract revenue was earned from the drilling rig Linus only. This is because the drilling rig Hercules undertook an SPS and certain upgrades which lasted until June 2023, following its redelivery to us from Seadrill in December 2022.

Interest income - sales-type leases and leaseback assets

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, sales-type leases interest income arose on nine container vessels on long term charters to MSC, two of which were sold in March 2024. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had sales-type leases interest income on nine container vessels on long term charters to MSC and leaseback interest income from one VLCC which was reported as a leaseback asset until its disposal in August 2023. Interest income decreased due to the disposal of these vessels.

Profit share revenues

We have a profit share arrangement related to the eight Capesize dry bulk vessels on charter to a subsidiary of Golden Ocean, whereby we earn a 33% profit share above the base charter rates, calculated and paid on a quarterly basis. We recorded $3.8 million of profit share revenue under this arrangement in the six months ended June 30, 2024 (six months ended June 30, 2023: $0.0 million).

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded $6.2 million from fuel saving arrangements relating to seven container vessels on charter to Maersk, due to the installation of scrubbers, and one scrubber-fitted car carrier on charter to Eukor Car Carriers Inc. (six months ended June 30, 2023: $7.1 million relating to seven container vessels and one car carrier).

Loss/gain on sale of vessels

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, a net loss of $17.0 thousand was recorded in relation to the disposal of two 5,800 TEU container vessels, MSC Margarita and MSC Vidhi, which were previously accounted for as sales-type leases. The vessels were delivered to MSC upon the exercise of a purchase obligation at the end of their charter period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, a net gain of $16.5 million was recorded in relation to the disposal of two Suezmax tankers, Glorycrown and Everbright, and two chemical tankers SFL Elbe and SFL Weser.

Operating expenses


	Six months ended	Six months ended
(in thousands of $)	June 30, 2024	June 30, 2023


Vessel and rig operating expenses	146,438	134,517
Depreciation	114,999	102,159
Vessel impairment charge	—	7,389


Administrative expenses	10,825	8,447
Total operating expenses	272,262	252,512

Vessel and rig operating expenses increased by $11.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with the same period in 2023. The increase is mainly due to the drilling rig Hercules which has been operating under a drilling contract with Galp Energia in Namibia until May 2024. In addition, the increase in operating expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, is due to the acquisition of four car carriers and one product tanker between September 2023 and June 2024. The above is slightly offset by the sale of two Suezmax tankers and two chemical tankers between March 2023 and June 2023.

Depreciation expense relates to vessels and rigs owned by the Company or vessels chartered-in under finance leases, that are not accounted for as investments in sales-type leases. The increase in depreciation of $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was mainly due to the acquisition of four car carriers and one product tanker between September 2023 and June 2024, as well as due to capitalized SPS costs, ballast water treatment system and other capital upgrades for the rig Hercules in June 2023. The above is slightly offset by the sale of two Suezmax tankers and two chemical tankers between March 2023 and June 2023.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, no impairment charge was recorded. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, an impairment charge of $7.4 million was recorded on two chemical tankers prior to their disposal in April 2023 and June 2023.

Administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $2.4 million compared with the same period in 2023, mainly due to increased costs arising from business activities such as vessel acquisitions and financing, as well as investor relations and other sundry administrative costs.

Interest income

Total interest income decreased by $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, mainly due to lower interest received on bank and short-term deposits.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $88.2 million compared with $82.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, is due to new loans and lease debt financing obtained by the Company for the vessels purchased in 2023 and 2024 and the increased interest rates in the period for floating rate debt and refinanced fixed loans. Changes in interest related to the bonds are due to changes in foreign currency exchange rate, repayments and redemptions.

Other non-operating items


	Six months ended	Six months ended
(in thousands of $)	June 30, 2024	June 30, 2023


Loss on investments in equity securities	(207)	(792)

Other financial items, net	(1,416)	(1,090)
Total other non-operating items	2,907	(4,576)

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 total other non-operating items amounted to a gain of $2.9 million compared to a loss of $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. This movement is mainly affected by a positive movement in the mark-to-market adjustments on non-designated derivatives.

Equity in earnings of associated companies

River Box Holding Inc. (“River Box”) holds investments in direct financing leases, through its subsidiaries, related to the 19,200 and 19,400 TEU containerships MSC Anna, MSC Viviana, MSC Erica and MSC Reef. The Company holds 49.9% ownership in River Box and is accounted for under the equity method. The remaining 50.1% of the shares of River Box are held by a subsidiary of Hemen, the Company’s largest shareholder and a related party. The net income of the River Box group is included under “Equity in earnings of associated companies” during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. The total equity in earnings of associated companies in the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $1.5 million (six months ended June 30, 2023: $1.5 million).

Tax expense

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a tax expense of $4.4 million which relates mainly to the operations of the harsh environment semi-submersible drilling rig Hercules in Namibia.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $186.1 million and investments in equity securities of $4.7 million.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated cash of $187.4 million net from operations, used $195.9 million net in investing activities and generated $29.1 million net in financing activities.

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to $187.4 million, from $231.0 million for the same period in 2023, mainly due to changes in operating income received and the timing of charter hire and trade and other receivables.

Investing activities used cash of $195.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $35.5 million in the same period in 2023. The increase in cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is mainly due to a decrease in the inflow of cash from the sale of vessels. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, $12.0 million was received from the sale of two container vessels, compared to a cash inflow of $104.2 million from the sale of two Suezmax tankers and two chemical tankers in the comparable period in 2023. In addition, there was an outflow of $212.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, which primarily consisted of newbuilding installments for two car carriers and the purchase of one LR2 product tanker, which were delivered during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to an outflow of $135.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to fund the SPS and capital upgrades of Hercules and Linus and newbuilding installments for four car carriers.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $29.1 million, compared to net cash used of $182.3 million in the same period in 2023. This was mainly the result of a decrease in cash outflows for debt repayments to $145.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $620.9 million in the same period in 2023. In addition there was an outflow of $65.0 million from repurchases and redemption of the Company’s bonds in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $167.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there was an inflow from debt proceeds amounting to $354.4 million, compared to $720.2 million in the comparable period in 2023.

In addition to bank financing, the Company continually monitors equity and debt capital market conditions and may raise additional capital through the issuance of equity, debt or hybrid securities from time to time.

A significant portion of our outstanding debt and finance lease liabilities will be due within one year of this report for which we have initiated discussions and negotiations with financial institutions regarding the refinancing of credit facilities maturing in 2024 and early 2025. Given our extensive history and successful track record in obtaining financing and refinancing, we believe that we will be able to secure the necessary refinancing for all such facilities before their maturity dates. Additionally, we anticipate that the cash flow generated from our charters will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service obligations and working capital needs in the short and medium term. However, no assurance can be given that all such facilities will be timely refinanced on acceptable terms.

The following table presents an overall summary of our borrowings as of June 30, 2024.


			As of June 30, 2024
(in millions of $)			Outstanding balance
