"We have continued to successfully execute on our growth initiatives, which has allowed us to make significant progress despite challenging macro headwinds," said E. Nikolas Tavlarios, President.  "During the first quarter we achieved a sequential increase in our gross spread and continued to reduce our expenses, resulting in our ninth consecutive quarter of profitability. As expected, we saw a typical seasonal decline in volumes and utilization; however, our focus on leveraging our infrastructure allowed us to capture voyage and storage revenue opportunities and drive profitability."

Mr. Tavlarios continued, "We have entered 2013 with strong momentum, and believe we are executing the right strategy to sustain long-term growth. We continue to take a methodical approach to entering and exiting markets, diversifying our operations, and strengthening our integrated fuel logistics chain and we are confident that we are well-positioned to benefit when the market recovers from the current shipping cycle."

The Company achieved net income attributable to Aegean shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $7.2 million, or $0.15 basic and diluted earnings per share.  Net income attributable to Aegean shareholders excluding a gain from the sale of non-core assets was $6.3 million or $0.13 basic and diluted earnings per share.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012 the Company recorded net income attributable to AMPNI shareholders of $6.0 million, or $0.13 basic and diluted earnings per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, sales of marine petroleum products decreased by 13.4% to $1,558.4 million compared to $1,799.3 million for the same period in 2012.

Operating expenses excluding the non-cash loss from the sale of vessels decreased by $4.7 million, or 7.5%, to $58.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $63.0 million for the same period in 2012.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $42.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net income, as adjusted for non-cash items (as defined in Note 9) was $13.6 million for the period.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, mainly due to the advances for other fixed assets under construction which were partly offset by the proceeds from the sale of two vessels and one of the Company's subsidiaries.

Net cash used in financing activities was $54.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily driven by the pay down of net borrowings.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $61.7 million and working capital of $50.5 million. Non-cash working capital, or working capital excluding cash and debt, was $403.5 million.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $355.4 million in available liquidity, which includes unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $61.7 million and available undrawn amounts under the Company's working capital facilities of $293.7 million, to finance working capital requirements.

The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were 45,660,166. The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were 45,438,383.
 
Spyros Gianniotis, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Our first quarter results demonstrate the strength of our operating model and our ability to build and sustain new revenue streams and profitability in a tough operating environment. During the quarter we further streamlined our infrastructure by selling two vessels and reducing our operating expenses, both of which we expect to drive higher utilization and cash flow over the long-term. We have also taken significant steps to strengthen our balance sheet, including establishing a global trade finance facility that will provide significant additional liquidity."

EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to that recorded by other companies. EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its operating performance and because the Company believes that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA for the periods presented:

Gross spread on marine petroleum products represents the margin the Company generates on sales of marine fuel and lubricants.  Gross spread on marine fuel represents the margin that the Company generates on sales of various classifications of marine fuel oil ("MFO") or marine gas oil ("MGO"). Gross spread on lubricants represents the margin that the Company generates on sales of lubricants. Gross spread on marine petroleum products, gross spread of MFO and gross spread on lubricants are not items recognized by U.S. GAAP and should be not be considered as an alternative to gross profit or any other indicator of a Company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. The Company's definition of gross spread may not be the same as that used by other companies in the same or other industries.  The Company calculates the above-mentioned gross spreads by subtracting from the sales of the respective marine petroleum product the cost of the respective marine petroleum product sold and cargo transportation costs. For arrangements in which the Company physically supplies the respective marine petroleum product using its bunkering tankers, costs of the respective marine petroleum products sold represents amounts paid by the Company for the respective marine petroleum product sold in the relevant reporting period. For arrangements in which the respective marine petroleum product is purchased from the Company's related company, Aegean Oil S.A., or Aegean Oil, cost of the respective marine petroleum products sold represents the total amount paid by the Company to the physical supplier for the respective marine petroleum product and its delivery to the custom arrangements in which the Company purchases cargos of marine fuel for its floating storage facilities, transportation costs may be included in the purchase price of marine fuels from the supplier or may be incurred separately from a transportation provider. Gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold represents the margin the Company generates per metric ton of marine fuel sold. The Company calculates gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold by dividing the gross spread on marine fuel by the sales volume of marine fuel. Marine fuel sales do not include sales of lubricants. The following table reflects the calculation of gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold for the periods presented:
 


 
 
For the Three Months Ended March 31,
 
 
 
2012
   
2013
 
 
           
Sales of marine petroleum products
    1,799,329       1,558,389  
Less: Cost of marine petroleum products sold
    (1,730,402 )     (1,495,205 )
Gross spread on marine petroleum products
    68,927       63,184  
Less: Gross spread on lubricants
    (746 )     (1,059 )
Gross spread on marine fuel
    68,181       62,125  
 
               
Sales volume of marine fuel (metric tons)
    2,461,230       2,367,077  
 
               
Gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold (U.S. dollars)
    27.7       26.2  

 
 
3.
Sales volume of marine fuel is the volume of sales of various classifications of MFO and MGO for the relevant period and is denominated in metric tons. The Company does not use the sales volume of lubricants as an indicator.
 
The Company's markets include its physical supply operations in the United Arab Emirates, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Singapore, Northern Europe, Vancouver, Montreal, Mexico, Portland (U.K.), Trinidad and Tobago (Southern Caribbean), Tangiers (Morocco), Las Palmas, Tenerife, Panama, Hong Kong and Greece, where the Company conducts operations through its related company, Aegean Oil.
 
 
4.
Bunkering fleet comprises both bunkering vessels and barges.
 
 
5.
Figure represents average bunkering fleet number for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each bunkering tanker or barge was used as part of the fleet during the period divided by the cumulative number of calendar days in the period multiplied by the number of bunkering tankers at the end of the period.   This figure does not take into account non-operating days due to either scheduled or unscheduled maintenance.

6.
Special Purpose Vessels consists of the Orion, a 550 dwt tanker which is based in our Greek market.
 
 
7.
As of March 31, 2013, the Company owned one Aframax tanker, the Leader as a floating storage facility in the United Arab Emirates. Additionally, the Company operates a barge, the Mediterranean, as a floating storage facility in Greece and a small tanker, the Tapuit, as a floating storage facility in Northern Europe.  The Company also has on-land storage facilities in Portland, Las Palmas and Tangiers.

The ownership of storage facilities allows the Company to mitigate its risk of supply shortages. Generally, storage costs are included in the price of refined marine fuel quoted by local suppliers. The Company expects that the ownership of storage facilities will allow it to convert the variable costs of this storage fee mark-up per metric ton quoted by suppliers into fixed costs of operating its owned storage facilities, thus enabling the Company to spread larger sales volumes over a fixed cost base and to decrease its refined fuel costs.
 
 
8.
Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities. Working capital excluding cash and debt is defined as current assets minus cash and cash equivalents minus restricted cash minus current liabilities plus short-term borrowings plus current portion of long-term debt.
 
 
9.
Net income as adjusted for non-cash items, such as depreciation, provision for doubtful accounts, restricted stock, amortization, deferred income taxes, loss on sale of vessels, net, unrealized loss/(gain) on derivatives and unrealized foreign exchange loss/(gain), net, is an industry standard used to assist in evaluating a company's ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Net income as adjusted for non-cash items is not recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of the Company's performance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

AEGEAN MARINE PETROLEUM NETWORK INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) (Continued)

 (Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars –
except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)



1.      Basis of Presentation and General Information:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. ("Aegean" or "AMPNI") and its subsidiaries (Aegean and its subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company") and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their respective fair values because of the short term nature of these accounts. The fair value of revolving credit facilities is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt of the same remaining maturities. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for the floating rate loans due to their variable interest rate, being EURIBOR or LIBOR. LIBOR and EURIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans and hence floating rate loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

2.      Significant accounting policies:

A discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no material changes to these policies in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.
 
 3.  Trade Accounts Receivables Factoring Agreement

In connection with the factoring agreement, renewed on November 14, 2012 and valid until October 17, 2013, the Company transfers ownership of eligible trade accounts receivable to a third party purchaser without recourse in exchange of cash. Proceeds from the transfer reflect the face value of the account less a discount. The receivables sold pursuant to this factoring agreement are excluded from trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheets and is reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
The third party purchaser has no recourse to our assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. We sold $163,480 of trade accounts receivable during the period ended March 31, 2013, which is net of servicing fees of $457. During the period ended March 31, 2012, we sold $186,050 of trade accounts receivable, net of servicing fees of $448.

5.  Advances for Other Fixed Assets under Construction:

Fujairah in-land storage facility: In July 2010, the Company assumed a 25-year terminal lease agreement, as a result of the transfer of all the shares of Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation from a related party. The agreement, signed by the Company's subsidiary, Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation, and the Municipality of Fujairah will be automatically renewed for an additional 25 years and was assumed to build an in-land storage facility in the United Arab Emirates with estimated cost of $120,000. The Company is expected to complete the construction of the new facility by the end of year 2013 and the payments of the contractual amounts are made with the progress of the construction.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company has paid advances for construction of the in-land storage facility amounting to $114,868. The contractual obligations arising from signed contracts relating to this project after March 31, 2013 are approximately $5,000 for 2013.
 
Las Palmas in-land storage facility: As at March 31, 2013, the Company has capitalized expenses incurred for additions and improvements on the Las Palmas terminal site in the amount of $3,734.

On February 26, 2013, the Company sold the vessel Aeolos to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser for an aggregate price of $6,125. The loss on sale of $2,634 was calculated as the sale price less the carrying value of the vessel of $8,759. This loss is included under the loss on sale of vessels in the consolidated statements of income.

The amortization of financing costs is included in interest and finance costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

9. Goodwill and intangible assets:

Goodwill: Goodwill identified represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition. The Company tests for impairment at least annually (as of December 31), or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, using a two step process. The first step identifies potential impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its book value including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired and the second step is not necessary. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the second step calculates the possible impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, a write-down is recorded.

 (Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars –
except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)




The decline in our stock price such that the market capitalization was lower than the consolidated net book value as of March 31, 2013 indicated the need for an interim impairment assessment. The Company calculated the fair value of the reporting unit using the discounted cash flow method, and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its book value including the goodwill. The discounted cash flows calculation is subject to management judgment related to revenue growth, capacity utilization, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), of approximately 7%, and the future price of marine fuel products. No impairment loss was recorded at March 31, 2013.

Intangible assets: The Company has identified finite-lived intangible assets associated with concession agreements acquired with the purchase of the Portland subsidiary, the Las Palmas and Panama sites and a non-compete covenant acquired with the Verbeke business. The values recorded have been recognized at the date of the acquisition and are amortized on a straight line basis over their useful life.

11. Derivatives and fair value measurements:

The Company uses derivative instruments in accordance with its overall risk management strategy.  The change in the fair value of these instruments measured at the mark-to-market prices is recognized immediately through earnings.

The following describes the Company's derivative classifications: The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to economically hedge its exposure to variability in its floating rate long-term debt.  Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company and the bank agreed to exchange at specified intervals the difference between paying fixed rate and floating rate interest amount calculated by reference to the agreed principal amount and maturity.  Interest rate swaps allow the Company to convert long-term borrowings issued at floating rates to equivalent fixed rates.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company was committed to the following 15 year interest rate swap arrangement with a call option for the bank to terminate it after 5 years duration, on March 31, 2016:
 
 
Interest Rate Index
 
Principal Amount
   
Fair Value/Carrying Amount of Liability
   
Weighted-average remaining term

U.S. Dollar-denominated Interest Rate Swap
Euribor
  $ 6,310     $ 567       13.01       2.35 %
 
In order to minimize counterparty risk, the Company only enters into derivative transactions with counterparties that are rated A or better by AAA at the time of the transactions.

The Company uses fuel pricing contracts to hedge exposure to changes in the net cost of marine fuel purchases. The Company has the right of offset with the counterparty of the fuel pricing contracts, and settles outstanding balances on a quarterly basis.  Therefore, these amounts are presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (on a gross basis: an asset of $247 and a liability of $109).

Interest rate swaps are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments.  Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices.  The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using the discounted cash flow method based on market-based Euribor rates swap yield curves, taking into account current interest rates. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs.
Fuel pricing contracts are valued using quoted market prices of the underlying commodity.

The Company evaluates the prices provided through the forward curves to calculate the mark-to-market valuation of the fuel pricing derivatives. During the period ended March 31, 2013, the Company entered into fuel pricing contracts for 299,400 metric tons.

The Company's derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not require significant management judgment.  Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Rent expense under operating leases was $1,180 and $3,890 for the three months period ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Legal Matters: In November 2005, an unrelated party filed a declaratory action against one of the Company's subsidiaries before the First Instance Court of Piraeus, Greece. The plaintiff asserted that he was instrumental in the negotiation of the Company's eight-year Fuel Purchase Agreement with a government refinery in Jamaica and sought a judicial affirmation of his alleged contractual right to receive a commission of $1.00 per metric ton of marine fuel over the term of the contract. In December 2008, the First Instance Court of Piraeus dismissed the plaintiff's action as vague and inadmissible, however the Company appealed that decision on the grounds that there was no contract between the Company and the plaintiff and that the court lacked jurisdiction. While the action was pending in Greece, the plaintiff commenced a new action involving the same cause of action before the Commercial Court of Paris, France, which dismissed that action in June 2009.  The plaintiff's appeal of the dismissal was denied by the Paris Court of Appeal in February 2010.  In January 2012, the plaintiff commenced a new action relating to the same allegations before the Commercial Court of Paris, which was dismissed on June 27, 2012 in favor of the competence and jurisdiction of the Greek courts. In July 2012, the plaintiff filed a "contredit," an appeal procedure under French law. The Company believes that this matter fails for lack of jurisdiction and is unwarranted and lacking in merit.  The Company believes that the outcome of this lawsuit will not have a material effect on its operations and financial position.
 
 
Various claims, suits, and complains, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers and agents and insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company's vessels.  Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Environmental and Other Liabilities: The Company accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the Company's exposure. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities for which a provision should be established in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company's Protection and Indemnity ("P&I") insurance policies cover third-party liability and other expenses related to injury or death of crew, passengers and other third parties, loss or damage of cargo, claims arising from collisions with other vessels, damage to other third-party property, and pollution arising from oil or other substances.  The Company's coverage under the P&I insurance policies, except for pollution, are unlimited. Coverage for pollution is $1,000,000 per vessel per incident.

17.       Equity Incentive Plan:

 
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award which is determined by the closing price of the Company's common stock traded on the NYSE on the grant date, and recognizes the cost as expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the vesting period. The expense is recorded in the general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Aegean is incorporated in a non-taxable jurisdiction and accordingly, no deferred tax assets are recognized for these stock-based incentive awards.
 
All grants of non-vested stock issued under the 2006 Plan are subject to accelerated vesting upon certain circumstances set forth in the 2006 Plan.
 
The following table summarizes the status of the Company's non-vested shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

18.   Earnings per Common Share:

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the granting of non-vested share-based compensation awards (refer to Note 17), for which the assumed proceeds upon grant are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. At March 31, 2013 the Company excluded 939,881 non vested share awards as anti-dilutive.
 
Non-vested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) and participate equally in undistributed earnings are participating securities, and thus, are included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share.
 
The components of the calculation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:
 
   
Three Months Ended March 31,
 
   
2012

19.   Income Taxes:
 
The Company operates through its subsidiaries, which are subject to several tax jurisdictions. The income tax (expense) / benefit for the periods presented and the respective effective tax rates for such periods are as follows:
 
   
Three Months Ended March 31,
 
   
2012
   
2013
 
Current tax expense
    (423 )     (283 )
Net deferred tax benefit/(expense)
    198       (128 )
Income tax expense
    (225 )     (411 )
Effective tax rate Reconciliation
    19.21 %     31.14 %

Our provision for income taxes for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 was calculated for our Belgian and Canadian companies that are subject to federal and state income taxes.

The reconciliation between the statutory tax expense on income from continuing operations to the income tax benefit/ (expense) recorded in the financial statements is as follows:

   
Three Months Ended March 31,
 
   
2012
   
2013
 
Income tax benefit/ (expense) on profit before tax at statutory rates
    359       (423 )
Effect of permanent differences
    (584 )     12  
Total tax expense
    (225 )     (411 )
 
Deferred income taxes that derive from our Belgian subsidiaries, are the result of provisions of the tax laws that either require or permit certain items of income or expense to be reported for tax purposes in different periods than they are reported for financial reporting.

20.  Business Segments and Geographical Information:

The Company is primarily a physical supplier in the downstream marine petroleum products industry. Marine petroleum products mainly consist of different classifications of marine fuel oil, marine gas oil and lubricants.
 
 The Company cannot and does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial performance measures by type of marine petroleum product supplied, geographical area served, nature of services performed or on anything other than on a consolidated basis (although the Company is able to segregate revenues on these various bases). As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results on a consolidated basis only. Therefore, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment.

The Company is domiciled in the Marshall Islands but provides no services in that location.  It is impracticable to disclose revenues from external customers attributable to individual foreign countries because where the customer is invoiced is not necessarily the country of domicile.  In addition, due to the nature of the shipping industry, where services are provided on a worldwide basis, the country of domicile of the customer does not provide useful information regarding the risk that this disclosure is intended to address.
 
The Company's long-lived assets mainly consist of bunkering tankers which are positioned across the Company's existing territories and which management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews on a periodic basis and reposition among the Company's existing or new territories to optimize the vessel per geographical territory ratio.
 
The Company's vessels operate within or outside the territorial waters of each geographical location and, under international law; shipping vessels usually fall under the jurisdiction of the country of the flag they sail. The Company's vessels are not permanently located within particular territorial waters and the Company is free to mobilize all its vessels worldwide at its own discretion.
 
21.  Sale of Subsidiary:

On February 25, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party to sell all ownership interest (55.5%) in Aegean Oil Terminals (Panama). The remaining interest had been previously presented as a non-controlling interest on the consolidated financial statements.
