Basis of presentation:
|
Atlas Corp. (the “Company” or “Atlas”) is a Republic of the Marshall Islands corporation incorporated on October 1, 2019 for the purpose of facilitating the Reorganization (as defined below).
On November 20, 2019, Seaspan Corporation (“Seaspan”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company, then a wholly owned subsidiary of Seaspan, and Seaspan Holdco V Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas, in order to implement a reorganization of Seaspan’s corporate structure into a holding company structure, pursuant to which Seaspan would become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas (the “Reorganization”).
On February 27, 2020, the Reorganization was completed. Common and preferred shareholders of Seaspan (the predecessor publicly held parent company) became common and preferred shareholders of Atlas, as applicable, on a one-for-one basis, maintaining the same number of shares and ownership percentage held in Seaspan immediately prior to the Reorganization. Atlas assumed all of Seaspan’s share purchase warrants and equity plans and will perform all relevant obligations.
The Reorganization was accounted for as a transaction among entities under common control under the pooling of interest method and represented a change in reporting entity whereby the financial information of Seaspan prior to the Reorganization was assumed by Atlas on a carry-over basis. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated historical operations of and changes in consolidated financial position of Seaspan, which included the Company as a consolidated subsidiary from its incorporation on October 1, 2019 to February 27, 2020 and those of the Company thereafter, following the Reorganization.
Atlas common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ATCO”.
On February 28, 2020, after the Reorganization, Atlas completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of Apple Bidco Limited, which owns 100% of APR Energy Ltd. (collectively “APR Energy”) (see note 2).
Except for the changes described in notes 1(b) to 1(f) associated with the acquisition of APR Energy, the accompanying interim financial information of Atlas has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), on a basis consistent with those followed in the December 31, 2019 audited annual consolidated financial statements of Atlas and Seaspan. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited and reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosures required under U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2019 annual consolidated financial statements of each of Atlas and Seaspan filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F.
Power generation revenue
In addition to its revenue from charter of vessels, the Company through APR Energy also derives revenue from short to medium-term contracts that provide customers with comprehensive power-generation services that include leasing of the power-generation equipment, installation and dismantling services, operations and maintenance of the power-generating equipment (“O&M”), operations monitoring and logistical support.
The Company earns a fixed portion of revenue on contracts by providing megawatt capacity to its customers. Each power equipment lease contract may, depending on its terms, contain a lease component, a non-lease component or both. Lease classification is determined on a contract-specific basis. Total consideration in contracts that include a lease component associated with the use of the power-generation equipment and a non-lease component related to O&M is allocated between the lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone selling prices. For arrangements where (1) the timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee is consistent between the lease and non-lease components and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, the Company has elected to treat the components as a single lease component. Revenue is recognized over the period in which the equipment is available to the customer for use and service is provided to the customer.
Certain contracts provide for mobilization and decommissioning payments. Mobilization revenue received up front is deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight line basis over the term of the contract. With respect to decommissioning revenue, when it is reasonably assured that the Company will receive payments from the customer, a receivable is recorded and the revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract, as it is earned.
Inventories consist primarily of spare parts and consumables. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is primarily determined using average or weighted average cost method, depending on the nature of the inventory.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete, disposal and transportation.

Property, plant and equipment:
|
Power generating equipment
Costs incurred to mobilize and install power-generating equipment pursuant to a contract for the provision of power-generation services are recorded in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable lease term to which the power-generating equipment relates.
A summary of the useful lives used for calculating depreciation and amortization are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Turbines

Asset retirement obligation (“ARO”)
|
The Company records a provision and a corresponding long-lived asset for asset retirement obligations when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The liability is accreted up to the cost of retirement through interest expense over the non-cancellable lease term. The long-lived asset is depreciated over the same period. Changes in the amount or timing of the estimated ARO are recorded as an adjustment to the related asset and liability.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax effects of temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities using the applicable jurisdictional tax rates. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements:
|
Measurement of credit loss
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Loss on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with the expected credit loss impairment model (“CECL”), which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the instrument instead of only when losses are incurred. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and investments in leases recognized by the lessor. Upon adoption, a cumulative effect adjustment of $2,293,000 was made to deficit as part of the modified retrospective transition approach. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 was not considered material to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
|
|
(h)
|
Recent accounting pronouncements:
|
Discontinuation of LIBOR
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which provides optional relief for the discontinuation of LIBOR resulting from rate reform. Contract terms that are modified due to the replacement of a reference rate are not required to be remeasured or reassessed under FASB’s relevant US GAAP Topic. The election is available by Topic. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of the ASU.

Acquisition of Apple Bidco Limited:
|
On February 28, 2020, the Company acquired 100.0% of the share capital of APR Energy from Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. and its affiliates (“Fairfax”) and certain other minority shareholders (collectively, the “Sellers”). Fairfax held 67.8% of APR Energy’s common shares. APR Energy owns and operates a fleet of capital-intensive assets, including gas turbines and other power generation equipment, and provides power solutions to customers through medium to long-term contracts. The results of APR Energy have been included in the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements from February 29, 2020, after the date of acquisition, and include revenue of $15,940,000 and net loss of $560,000 from that date.
At closing, Atlas issued 29,891,266 common shares and reserved 6,664,270 common shares for future issuance (the “Holdback Shares”). The Holdback Shares are issuable over a period of 90 days to five years after the date of acquisition and are subject to settlement of purchase price adjustments, indemnification arrangements and other future compensable events. These arrangements may be settled, at the Sellers’ option, by either cancellation of Holdback Shares or cash. In the case of purchase price adjustments, if Holdback Shares are insufficient, Sellers may choose to compensate the Company in cash or cancel previously issued common shares. Any Holdback Shares that are not cancelled after the expiry of their respective holdback periods, will be issued to the Sellers, plus any accrued distributions or dividends.
The net purchase price of $293,432,000 was comprised of:

At March 31, 2020, $4,775,000 of the purchase price adjustments identified to date are expected to be realized through cancellation of 450,450 Holdback Shares. The remainder can be settled in cash or by cancelling previously issued common shares, at the Sellers’ option and has been included in accounts receivable.

Consists of indemnification assets recognized on acquisition. The Sellers are required to indemnify the Company for certain legal and tax matters through cancellation of the Holdback Shares or in cash, at the Sellers’ option. For certain of these arrangements, if the Holdback Shares are insufficient, Fairfax may be required to compensate the Company in cash. The amount to be indemnified is subject to the aggregate losses incurred at settlement of these legal and tax matters. The amount recognized is equal to the liabilities accrued for such legal and tax matters, based on the Company’s best estimates. For certain other indemnification arrangements, Fairfax is also required to compensate the Company in cash, without minority shareholders.

Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company refinanced the debt facilities acquired (note 10).

Acquisition of Apple Bidco Limited (continued):
|
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets (consisting of accounts receivable, restricted cash and prepaid expenses), accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair value of long-term debt is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and determined based on expected payments. The fair values of contingent consideration assets, inventory, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and asset retirement obligation included in other long-term liabilities were categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and were determined using relevant market assumptions, including comparable sales and cost data, discount rates and future operating cash flows.
The allocation of the purchase price was based upon preliminary valuations and are subject to change within the measurement period. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to measurement of the contingent consideration asset, indemnification assets, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred income taxes and income tax payable. The Company expects to continue to obtain information for the purpose of determining the fair value of these assets and liabilities throughout the remainder of the measurement period. Information received during the measurement period will be considered to determine whether the information is indicative of circumstances that existed at the acquisition date and would therefore require an adjustment to the purchase price allocation.
The Company recognized $977,000 and $2,294,000 of acquisition related costs that were included in general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively.
Pro forma financial information
The following table presents unaudited pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The unaudited pro forma financial information combines the results of operations of the Company and APR Energy as though the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2019. The pro forma results contain adjustments that are directly attributable to the transaction, including depreciation of the fair value of property, plant and equipment and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Additionally pro forma net earnings were adjusted to exclude acquisition-related costs incurred.

For management purposes, the Company is organized based on its two leasing businesses and has two reportable segments, containership leasing and mobile power generation. The Company’s containership leasing segment owns and operates a fleet of containerships which are chartered primarily pursuant to long-term, fixed-rate time charters. The Company’s mobile power generation segment owns and operates a fleet of power generation assets, including gas turbines and other equipment, and provides power solutions to customers through medium to long-term contracts.
The Company’s chief operating decision makers monitor the operating results of the leasing businesses separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on net income measured consistently with the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire six vessels and their existing fixed-rate bareboat charters. Five vessels were delivered in December 2019 and one vessel was delivered in January 2020. The acquired bareboat charter agreements included the option for the charterer to purchase each vessel for an amount equal to fair market value, subject to minimum and maximum purchase prices. At the date of acquisition, it was determined that the customer was reasonably certain to exercise these purchase options. Accordingly, these leases were classified as sales-type leases and accounted for as a disposition of vessels upon their respective delivery dates.
In February 2020, the bareboat charters were modified to extend the terms of the leases by six years, with similar purchase options. As a result of the modification, it was determined that the customer is no longer reasonably certain to exercise the purchase options and these leases were reclassified as operating leases.
At March 31, 2020, the minimum lease receivable from direct financing leases are as follows:

In February 2020, the Company acquired gas turbines and other equipment of $597,281,000 as part of the acquisition of APR Energy (note 2). During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred additional depreciation and amortization expense of $5,467,000 related to these assets, of which $1,935,000 relates to depreciation of mobilization and decommissioning costs.
In February 2020, sales-type leases related to six bareboat charters were re-assessed to be operating leases at lease modification. Accordingly, vessels of $377,393,000 were reclassified to property, plant and equipment and recorded at a value equal to the net investment in leases derecognized (note 6).
In March 2020, the Company took delivery of two 12000 TEU vessels, for an aggregate purchase price of $186,143,500.

Contingent consideration asset
|
As a part of the acquisition of APR Energy, the Company will be compensated by the Sellers for certain losses that may be incurred on future cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction until the earlier of the end of the relevant contracts or reaching the maximum amount compensable. The amount of compensation depends on the Company’s ability to generate cash flows on specific contracts in the foreign jurisdiction and the magnitude of losses incurred on repatriation. This arrangement is considered to be an asset classified as contingent consideration measured at fair value on the acquisition date. At the end of each period, changes in fair value in the contingent consideration asset are recorded in net income. During the period ended March 31, 2020, the fair value of the contingent consideration asset increased by $3,300,000.

Revolving credit facilities:
|
On February 28, 2020, the Company entered into a credit facility of up to $185,000,000 (the “Bank Facility”) comprised of a revolving loan facility of $50,000,000 and a term loan facility of $135,000,000. The Bank Facility matures on February 28, 2023 and is secured by the Company’s power generation assets.
As at March 31, 2020, the Company had five revolving credit facilities available which provided for aggregate borrowings of up to $1,037,012,000 (December 31, 2019 – $987,012,000), of which $180,000,000 (December 31, 2019 - $120,000,000) was undrawn.
As at March 31, 2020, the one month and three month average LIBOR on the Company’s revolving credit facilities was 1.7% and 1.3%, respectively (December 31, 2019 – 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively) and the margins ranged between 0.5% and 3.5% (December 31, 2019 – 0.5% and 2.25%) as at March 31, 2020. The weighted average rate of interest, including the margin, for the Company’s revolving credit facilities was 2.6% as at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – 2.9%). Interest payments are made monthly.
The following is a schedule of future minimum repayments of revolving facilities as of March 31, 2020:

Term loan credit facilities:
|
On February 28, 2020, the Company entered into the Bank Facility which includes a $135,000,000 term loan facility (note 10(a)).
On March 6, 2020, the Company entered into a $100,000,000 term loan credit facility, which bears a fixed interest rate of 7.7% per annum and matures on March 6, 2026. This facility is secured by the Company’s power generation assets.
During the first quarter, the Company increased the aggregate commitment under an existing term loan credit facility, which matures on December 30, 2025, by $100,000,000. The outstanding balance is secured by a portfolio of vessels, which also secures some of the Company’s other credit facilities.
As at March 31, 2020, the Company had $2,241,500,000 (December 31, 2019 - $1,954,375,000) of term loan credit facilities available, of which none (December 31, 2019 - $155,000,000) was undrawn. One of the term loan credit facilities has a revolving loan component which has been included in the revolving facilities.
For the Company’s term loan credit facilities, the one month, three month and six month average LIBOR was 1.9%, 1.9% and 1.4%, respectively (December 31, 2019 – 1.9%, 2.0% and 2.1%, respectively) and the margins ranged between 0.4% and 4.3% as at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – 0.4% and 4.3%).
For certain of our term loan credit facility with a total principal amount outstanding of $49,550,000 (December 31, 2019 - $52,743,000), interest is calculated based on the Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM) rate plus 0.7% per annum.
The weighted average rate of interest, including the applicable margin, was 4.1% as at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – 4.0%) for the Company’s term loan credit facilities. One of the Company’s term loan credit facilities bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.7%. Interest payments are made in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments.
The following is a schedule of future minimum repayments of the Company’s term loan credit facilities as of March 31, 2020:

Credit facilities – other:
|
As at March 31, 2020, the Company’s credit facilities were secured by first-priority mortgages granted on its power generation assets and 69 of its vessels together with other related security. The security for each of the Company’s current secured credit facilities includes:
|
|
•
|
A first priority mortgage on collateral assets;
|
|
|
•
|
An assignment of the Company’s lease agreements and earnings related to the related collateral assets;
|
|
|
•
|
An assignment of the insurance policies covering each of the collateral assets that are subject to a related mortgage and/or security interest;
|
|
|
•
|
An assignment of the Company’s related shipbuilding contracts and the corresponding refund guarantees;
|
|
|
•
|
A pledge over shares of various subsidiaries; and
|
|
|
•
|
A pledge over the related retention accounts.
|
As at March 31, 2020, $3,098,550,480 principal amount of indebtedness under the Company’s term loan and revolving credit facilities is secured by a portfolio of 69 vessels and most of the Company’s power generation assets, the composition of which can be changed, and is subject to a borrowing base and portfolio concentration requirements, as well as compliance with financial covenants and certain negative covenants.
The Company may prepay certain amounts outstanding without penalty, other than breakage costs in certain circumstances, with the exception of one term loan credit facility, where the Company may prepay borrowings up to March 6, 2023 with penalties and thereafter without penalty. A prepayment may be required as a result of certain events, including change of control and, where applicable, the sale or loss of assets or a termination or expiration of certain lease agreements (and the inability to enter into a lease replacing the terminated or expired lease suitable to lenders within a period of time). The amount that must be prepaid may be calculated based on the loan to market value. In these circumstances, valuations of the Company’s assets are conducted on an “orderly liquidation” basis as required under the credit facility agreement.

Credit facilities – other (continued):
|
Each credit facility contains a mix of financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum liquidity, tangible net worth, interest and principal coverage ratios, and debt-to-assets ratios, as defined. Certain facilities are guaranteed by an intermediate parent entity, in which case the parent entity must meet certain consolidated financial covenants under those term loan facilities including maintaining certain minimum tangible net worth, cash requirements and debt-to-asset ratios.
Some of the facilities also have an interest and principal coverage ratio, debt service coverage and vessel value requirement for the subsidiary borrower. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as at March 31, 2020.
On February 28, 2020, pursuant to a subscription agreement, the Company issued to Fairfax, in a private placement, $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.50% per annum and matures on March 1, 2027. On or after February 28, 2025, the 2027 Fairfax Notes can be redeemed, in full or in part, at the option of the Company.
The 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, and 2027 Fairfax Notes (together, the “Fairfax Notes”), allow Fairfax to call for early redemption for some or all of the Fairfax Notes on each respective anniversary date of issuance (the “Annual Put Right”) by providing written notice between 150 days and 120 days prior to each applicable anniversary date. On February 5, 2020, Fairfax waived its Annual Put Right to call for early redemption of the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes on the relevant 2021 anniversary dates. Therefore, the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes are not puttable until their respective anniversary dates in 2022. The Annual Put Right on the 2027 Fairfax Notes commences in 2021 related to the anniversary date in 2022.
The Fairfax Notes are secured by ownership interest in certain subsidiaries of the Company.

Operating lease liabilities relate to vessel sale-leaseback transactions and office operating leases. Vessel sale-leaseback transactions under operating lease arrangements are in part, indexed to 3-months LIBOR, reset on a quarterly basis. For one of the Company’s vessel operating leases, an option to repurchase the vessel exists at the end of its lease term. For all other arrangements, the lease may be terminated prior to the end of the lease term, at the option of the Company, by repurchasing the respective vessels on a specified repurchase date at a pre-determined fair value amount. For one of these arrangements, if the Company elects not to repurchase the vessel, the lessor may choose not to continue the lease until the end of its term. Each sale-leaseback transaction contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain tangible net worth, interest coverage ratios and debt-to-assets ratios, as defined. These vessels are leased to customers under time charter arrangements.
Operating lease costs related to vessel sale-leaseback transactions are summarized as follows:

In February 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire four 12000 TEU vessels. In March 2020, the Company entered into financing arrangements for these vessels, with an aggregate commitment of $337,732,000, subject to the delivery of the vessels and other customary closing conditions.
In March 2020, two vessels were delivered and funding of $169,556,000 was provided through the arrangement.
Upon delivery of these vessels, titles to the vessels were transferred to the financing counterparty and the vessels were leased back through bareboat charters for a period of 10 years. The Company is required to purchase the vessels at the end of their respective lease terms. As a result, the transactions are deemed to be failed sales. Consequently, the Company has not derecognized the vessels. The funding received from the financing arrangement was included as a financial liability, repaid through bareboat charter hire payments.
Based on amounts funded for other financing arrangements, payments due to lessors would be as follows:

(Tabular amounts in millions of United States dollars, except per share amount and number of shares)
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was 3.5%. The tax rate was significantly lower than the United Kingdom statutory rate of 19% primarily due to international shipping reciprocal exemptions.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating loss (NOL) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company evaluated the impact of the CARES Act, and the NOL carryback provision of the CARES Act does not result in a material cash benefit to it.

Financial instruments:
|
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, income tax payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short term to maturity.
As of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s revolving and term loan credit facilities, excluding deferred financing fees, is $3,048,389,000 (December 31, 2019 - $2,624,711,000) and the carrying value is $3,098,447,000 (December 31, 2019 - $2,666,274,000). As of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s operating lease liabilities is $917,238,000 (December 31, 2019 - $940,034,000) and the carrying value is $919,725,000 (December 31, 2019 - $942,308,000). As of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees, is $545,613,000 (December 31, 2019 - $553,754,000) and the carrying value is $525,323,000 (December 31, 2019 - $513,771,000). The fair value of the revolving and term loan credit facilities, operating lease liabilities and other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees, is estimated based on expected principal repayments and interest, discounted by relevant forward rates plus a margin appropriate to the credit risk of the Company. Therefore, the Company has categorized the fair value of these financial instruments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
As of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes is $80,740,000 (December 31, 2019 – $82,816,000) and the carrying value is $80,000,000 (December 31, 2019 – $80,000,000). The fair value of senior unsecured notes is calculated based on expected interest payments and payment on maturity, discounted by the relevant market fixed rate appropriate to the credit risk of the Company. Therefore, the Company has categorized the fair value of these financial instruments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate fair value of the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes is $536,065,000 (December 31, 2019 – $525,591,000) and the aggregate carrying value is $353,942,000 (December 31, 2019 – $349,106,000). The Annual Put Right features included in the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes are considered embedded derivatives that are separately accounted for and are re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the derivative put instruments at each reporting period is derived from the difference between the fair value of the notes and the fair value of a similar debt without Annual Put Rights, which are calculated using a trinomial tree. The assumptions used include our estimate of the risk-free yield curve, interest volatility and Seaspan-specific credit risk. The fair values of the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes and derivative put instruments are determined based on interest rate inputs that are unobservable. Therefore, the Company has categorized the fair value of these derivative financial instruments as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the 2027 Fairfax Notes issued in February 2020 is $113,337,000 and the carrying value is $100,000,000. The Annual Put Right feature included in the 2027 Fairfax Notes, issued at par value, is not considered an embedded derivative. Its fair value is calculated using the present value of expected principal repayments and interest discounted by relevant market rates. The 2027 Fairfax Notes are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s interest rate derivative financial instruments are re-measured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair values of the interest rate derivative financial instruments have been calculated by discounting the future cash flow of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest rate payments. The discount rate was derived from a yield curve created by nationally recognized financial institutions adjusted for the associated credit risk. The fair values of the interest rate derivative financial instruments are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Therefore, the Company has categorized the fair value of these derivative financial instruments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
As part of the acquisition of APR Energy, the Company obtained a contingent consideration asset related to compensation the Company will receive from the Sellers on losses that may be generated from cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction. The fair values of the contingent consideration asset at acquisition and at March 31, 2020 are calculated as the present value of future losses from conversion of cash from the foreign currency to US dollars, based on an estimate of cash expected to be generated from the foreign jurisdiction, fluctuation of foreign exchange mechanisms and the expectation related to foreign exchange policies. The Company has categorized the fair value of the contingent consideration asset as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Report and the audited consolidated financial statements, related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Annual Report was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on April 13, 2020. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are presented in U.S. dollars, or USD. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Overview
General
We are Atlas Corp., a global asset manager and the parent company of Seaspan Corporation (“Seaspan”) and APR Energy Ltd (together with Apple Bidco Limited “APR Energy”).
Atlas was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands in October 2019 for the purpose of facilitating, and to become the successor public company of Seaspan pursuant to, the Reorganization. Atlas is a holding company and its sole assets are its interests in Seaspan and APR Energy and their respective subsidiaries.
Segment Reporting
For management purposes, the Company is organized based on its two leasing businesses and has two reportable segments, containership leasing and power generation. The Company’s containership leasing segment, which is conducted through Seaspan, owns and operates a fleet of containerships which are chartered primarily pursuant to long-term, fixed-rate, time charters with major container liner companies. The Company’s power generation segment, which is conducted through APR Energy, owns and operates a fleet of power generation assets, including gas turbines and other equipment, and provides power solutions to customers, through medium to long-term contracts.
Containership leasing
Through Seaspan, we are a leading independent charter owner and manager of containerships, which we charter primarily pursuant to long-term, fixed-rate time charters with major container liner companies. We primarily deploy our vessels on long-term, fixed-rate time charters to take advantage of the stable cash flow and high utilization rates that are typically associated with long-term time charters. As at March 31, 2020, we operated a fleet of 120 vessels that have an average age of approximately seven years, on a TEU weighted basis.
Customers for our operating fleet as at March 31, 2020 are as follows:

Our primary objective for Seaspan is to continue to grow our containership leasing business through accretive vessel acquisitions as market conditions allow. Most of our customers’ containership business revenues are derived from the shipment of goods from the Asia Pacific region, primarily China, to various overseas export markets in the United States and in Europe.
We use the term “twenty-foot equivalent unit”, or TEU, the international standard measure of containers, in describing the capacity of our containerships, which are also referred to as our “vessels”. We identify the classes of our vessels by the approximate average TEU capacity of the vessels in each class. However, the actual TEU capacity of a vessel may differ from the approximate average TEU capacity of the vessels in such vessel’s class.

Significant Developments During the Quarter Ended March 31, 2020
Reorganization
On November 20, 2019, Seaspan entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Atlas, then a wholly owned subsidiary of Seaspan, and Seaspan Holdco V Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlas (“Merger Sub”), in order to implement a reorganization of Seaspan’s corporate structure into a holding company structure, pursuant to which Seaspan would become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlas.
On February 27, 2020, the Reorganization was completed and was implemented through the merger of Seaspan and the Merger Sub, with Seaspan continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlas. Holders of Seaspan common and preferred shares became holders of Atlas common and preferred shares, as applicable, on a one-for-one basis with the same number of shares and same ownership percentage of the same corresponding class of Seaspan shares as they held immediately prior to the reorganization. Atlas assumed all of Seaspan’s rights and obligations under certain common share purchase warrants held by Fairfax and its affiliates, as well as sponsorship of all of Seaspan’s equity plans.
In connection with the Reorganization, Seaspan’s common and preferred shares ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) after markets closed on February 27, 2020, and Atlas’ common and preferred shares commenced trading on the NYSE on February 28, 2020. On March 10, 2020, Seaspan filed all necessary forms with the SEC to terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and cease to be a U.S. reporting issuer.
Acquisition of APR Energy
On February 28, 2020, after the Reorganization, Atlas acquired 100% of the share capital of Apple Bidco Limited, which in turn owns 100% of APR Energy Limited, from Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. and its affiliates (“Fairfax”), and certain other minority shareholders (collectively the “Sellers”). Fairfax held 67.8% of APR Energy’s common shares. As consideration for APR Energy, Atlas issued 29,891,266 common shares and has reserved 6,664,270 shares holdback (the “Holdback Shares”) for future issuance. The amount of Holdback Shares to be issued to the Sellers will be determined upon settlement of certain purchase price adjustments related to net debt and working capital, certain specified indemnification obligations and other compensable events, over a period of between 90 days to five years after the date of acquisition. The acquisition agreement provides for specific settlement methods requiring cancellation of Holdback Shares or allowing the Sellers the option to settle obligations to Atlas in cash. For certain of these arrangements, if the Holdback Shares are insufficient, Fairfax, individually or together with the other Sellers may be required to compensate the Company in cash or return previously issued common shares. Fairfax may also be required to make certain other indemnifications, in cash. Any Holdback Shares that are not cancelled after the expiry of their respective assigned periods, will be issued to the Sellers, plus any accrued distributions or dividends. On the closing date of the acquisition, Atlas further issued 775,139 common shares to Fairfax to settle indebtedness owing to such entity by Apple Bidco Limited at the closing date.
Fairfax Investment
On February 28, 2020, Seaspan issued to Fairfax, in a private placement, $100 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Fairfax Notes”).
The February 28, 2020 investment increases Fairfax’s total investment in us to $1.1 billion. Fairfax’s investment in us is summarized below:

Vessel Acquisitions and Deliveries
In November 2019, Seaspan entered into agreements to purchase three 10700 TEU vessels and three 9200 TEU vessels (the “Six Vessels”) for approximately $380.0 million in cash. Five vessels were delivered in December 2019 and the sixth vessel was delivered in January 2020. Upon delivery, Seaspan assumed the rights and obligations of the sellers under existing bareboat charter agreements for the vessels. In February 2020, these bareboat charter agreements were modified, such that the daily fixed rates were reduced and the charter terms were extended by six years.
In February 2020, Seaspan entered into agreements to purchase four 12000 TEU vessels for an aggregate $367.0 million in cash. The four vessels, two of which delivered in March and two of which delivered in April 2020, are comprised of three 2018-built vessels and one 2017-built vessel. In connection with these deliveries, Seaspan has closed four financing arrangements with total proceeds of approximately $340 million. Each financing has an initial term of ten years.
Additional Financings
In February and March 2020, Seaspan increased the commitment amount under the vessel portfolio financing by $100 million to a total size of $1.755 billion. Proceeds from borrowings are intended to be used to finance or refinance the acquisition of vessels, and for general corporate purposes.
In February 2020, APR Energy entered into a credit agreement for a $185.0 million credit facility, comprised of a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million and a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $135.0 million. This facility is secured by certain mobile power generation assets and the proceeds from the term loan were used to refinance existing debt.
In March 2020, APR Energy entered into a credit agreement for a $100.0 million term loan credit facility. This facility is secured by certain mobile power generation assets and proceeds from the term loan were used to refinance existing debt.
Senior Unsecured Notes
In announcements made on January 17 and February 14, 2020, Seaspan announced its intention to delist its outstanding 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the "2027 7.125% Notes" and together with the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes, the "Notes") from the NYSE and to deregister the Notes under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The last day of trading of the Notes on the NYSE was Monday, March 9, 2020.
APR Energy Signs Contract in Mexico
In March 2020, APR Energy signed contracts for 265MW of peaking power gas-fired plants in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. In addition to supporting high demand needs during peak hours, the eight mobile gas turbines installed at the plants will help ensure grid stability as the region adjusts to a recent decrease in energy imports received from California. The associated projects are designed to be environmentally friendly and to stabilize energy supplies as several plants in the Mexicali area are brought offline for scheduled maintenance.
Termination of Investment in Swiber Holdings Limited
On March 29, 2019, Seaspan entered into a definitive investment agreement to acquire an 80% post-restructured equity interest in Swiber Holdings Limited (“Swiber”) for $10.0 million and, provided certain milestones were met, to invest an additional $190.0 million
31
in Swiber’s LNG-to-power project in Vietnam. Effective January 1, 2020, Seaspan’s investment agreement with Swiber was terminated because certain conditions precedent were not met.
Recent Changes to Senior Management
In February 2020, Seaspan appointed Karen Lawrie as General Counsel. In March 2020, we appointed Krista Yeung as Vice President, Finance of Atlas Corp. In April 2020, Charles Ferry resigned as Chief Executive Officer of APR Energy.
Dividends
On March 31, 2020, our Board of Directors declared the following quarterly cash dividends on our common and preferred shares for a total distribution of $16,763,497 million on April 30, 2020.

Current Material Development – Uncertain Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in China in late 2019 and has spread globally. Government authorities in affected regions have taken dramatic actions and mandated restrictions in order to slow the spread of the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and advisories and shutdowns. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is likely to continue to cause economic, market and other disruptions worldwide.
Impact on Operations and Financial Performance
To date, the Company has not experienced any material negative impact to its business as a result of COVID-19. However, given the unprecedented uncertainty and fluidity of this situation, we are unable to forecast the full impact on our business. We can provide no assurance that the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic disruption will not have a future material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position, and consolidated cash flows in fiscal 2020.
In our containership business, we have a number of vessels whose charters expire within the year and, subject to market conditions which have been volatile, we may be unable to charter these vessels at the same rates or for the same length of time as we had previously expected or find a suitable employment. Furthermore, while not material, completion of repairs on our vessels has been delayed in some instances, resulting in additional costs, due to restrictions on workers’, surveyors’ and other specialists’ access to the shipyards where the repairs are taking place. So far this year, we completed the installation of scrubbers in five vessels without delay; five other vessels are scheduled to have scrubbers installed over the course of the quarter ending June 30, 2020. We cannot be certain these will not be delayed.
In our APR Energy business, we have not yet but may in the future experience operational challenges transporting our turbines and balance of plant equipment, as well as our personnel, to project sites due to restrictions on travel.
Our Response
In our containership business, our primary concern is ensuring the wellbeing of our seafarers and employees, while continuing to provide a safe, reliable and efficient services to our customers. In collaboration with industry peers, customers and international bodies, we have developed and implemented extended on-board management procedures on our vessels and we have prepared response plans should any crew member fall ill onboard. We have suspended crew changes (except for medical emergency) and keep additional crew on standby for immediate dispatch. We have also suspended provisioning in heavily affected areas and are complying with local directives and recommendations.
Shoreside, most of our staff are working remotely. We have instituted enhanced safety protocols including suspending all non-essential travel, mandatory self-isolation of personnel returning from travel and substitution of physical meetings with virtual meetings. We have also taken measures to bolster the security of our network and online communications.
In our APR Energy business, we monitor travel advisories and prepare as appropriate to ensure we are able to mobilize people and equipment, such as ensuring that APR Energy personnel will be treated as providers of essential services when traveling across borders.
We are continuously monitoring the developing situation, as well as our customers’ response to the severe market conditions via cost cutting and rationalization and are making necessary preparations to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of
32
COVID-19 to our Company.

Operating Results - Containership Leasing Segment
Ownership Days are the number of days a vessel is owned and available for charter. Ownership Days On-Hire are the number of days a vessel is available to the charterer for use. The primary driver of Ownership Days is the increase or decrease in the number of vessels in our fleet.
|
(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our results were attributable to one segment only, containership leasing. Atlas acquired APR Energy on February 28, 2020. After the acquisition, another business segment was added.
|
|
|
(2)APR Energy’s contribution for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 is limited to the period from and including February 29, 2020, the day after the closing of the acquisition, to March 31,2020
|
|
33
Total Ownership Days increased by 635 days for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The increase for three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the delivery of the Six Vessels, which contributed 523 days, with the remainder due to the additional Leap Year day gained in February 2020.
Vessel Utilization represents the number of Ownership Days On-Hire as a percentage of Total Ownership Days. The following table summarizes Seaspan’s Vessel Utilization for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and its comparative quarters:

Vessel utilization decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the number of Scheduled Dry Docking days.
Operating Results – Power Generation
Average Megawatt Capacity is the average maximum megawatts that can be generated by the power fleet. The primary driver of Average Megawatt Capacity is the increase or decrease in the number of power generating units in the power fleet. Average Megawatt On-Hire is the amount of capacity that is under contract and available to the customer for use. Power Fleet Utilization represents Average Megawatt On-Hire as a percentage of Average Megawatt Capacity.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Average Megawatt Capacity was 1,416MW, on a weighted average basis. During this period 63.6% of the power fleet were under contract.

Financial Results Summary
Revenue
Revenue increased by 8.1% to $308.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the addition of power generation revenue resulting from the acquisition of APR Energy on February 28, 2020. The remainder of the increase was due to the revenue contribution from the delivery of the Six Vessels.
Operating Expense
Operating expense increased by 3.6% to $59.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to expenses relating to mobile power generating equipment from the APR Energy acquisition, offset by Seaspan’s lower maintenance and repair costs in the quarter ended March 31,2020.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 15.5% to $72.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of mobile power generating equipment from the APR Energy acquisition. The remainder of the increase was due to a larger Seaspan operating fleet.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense increased by 18.2% to $10.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of APR Energy’s general and administrative expenses from the date of acquisition. The remainder of the increase was costs arising as part of the APR Energy acquisition.
34
Operating Lease Expense
Operating lease expense decreased by 1.8% to $38.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR.

Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees decreased by $11.8 million to $44.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR, the early repayments of long-term debt during 2019, partially offset by the issuance of the 2027 Fairfax Notes and the inclusion of APR Energy’s interest expense.
Loss on Derivative Instruments
The change in fair value of derivative instruments resulted in a loss of $24.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, $20.8 million of which relates to non-cash movements in the mark-to-market value of the derivative instruments. The loss for this period was primarily due to a decrease in the LIBOR forward curve and the impact of swap settlements.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps and our Fairfax derivative put instruments are subject to change based on our company specific credit risk included in the discount factor and current swap curve, including its relative steepness. In determining the fair value, these factors are based on current information available to us. These factors are expected to change through the life of the instruments, causing the fair value to fluctuate significantly due to the large notional amounts and long-term nature of our derivative instruments. As these factors may change, the fair value of the instruments is an estimate and may deviate significantly from the actual cash settlements realized during the term of the instruments. Our valuation techniques have not changed, and we believe that such techniques are consistent with those followed by other valuation practitioners.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps is most significantly impacted by changes in the yield curve. Based on the current notional amount and tenor of our interest rate swap portfolio, a one percent parallel shift in the overall yield curve is expected to result in a change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps of approximately $30.6 million. Actual changes in the yield curve are not expected to occur equally at all points and changes to the curve may be isolated to periods of time. This steepening or flattening of the yield curve may result in greater or lesser changes to the fair value of our financial instruments in a particular period than would occur had the entire yield curve changed equally at all points.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps is also impacted by changes in our company-specific credit risk included in the discount factor. We discount our derivative instruments with reference to the corporate Bloomberg industry yield curves. Based on the current notional amount and tenor of our swap portfolio, a one percent change in the discount factor is expected to result in a change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps of approximately $1.2 million.
The fair value of the Fairfax derivative put instruments at each reporting period is subject to changes in our company specific credit risk and the risk-free yield curve. In determining fair value, these factors are based on current information available to us. These factors are estimates and are expected to change through the life of the instrument, causing the fair value to fluctuate significantly due to the long-term nature of our derivative instruments.
Our fair value instruments, including interest rate swaps and put instruments were marked to market with all changes in the fair value of these instruments recorded in “Change in fair value of financial instruments” in our Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Please read “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F for additional information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Fairfax Put
The Fairfax Notes provide Fairfax with Annual Put Options to call for early redemption of some or all of the Fairfax Notes. On February 5, 2020, Fairfax waived its Annual Put Option to call for early redemption of the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes on their relevant 2021 anniversary dates. The Annual Put Option in respect of the 2027 Fairfax Notes is exercisable commencing in 2021 for the anniversary date in 2022.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2020, we have total liquidity of $393.7 million, consisting of $213.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $180.0 million of undrawn commitments under available revolving credit facilities. Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund our operating expenses, investments and acquisitions of assets, debt repayments, lease payments, swap settlements, payment of quarterly dividends and payments on our other financing arrangements. Our medium-term liquidity needs primarily relate to debt repayments, lease payments, potential early redemption of our Fairfax Notes and payments on our other financing arrangements. Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to potential future acquisitions, lease payments, debt repayments including repayment of our 2027 7.125% Notes and our 2027 Fairfax Notes, the potential future redemption of our preferred shares and payments on our other financing arrangements.
Our Series D preferred shares have an annual dividend rate of 7.95% per $25.00 of liquidation preference per share and are redeemable by us at any time. Our Series E preferred shares have an annual dividend rate of 8.25% per $25.00 of liquidation preference per share and are redeemable by us at any time. Our Series G preferred shares have an annual dividend rate of 8.20% per $25.00 of liquidation preference per share and are redeemable by us at any time on or after June 16, 2021. Our Series H preferred shares have an annual dividend rate of 7.875% per $25.00 of liquidation preference per share and are redeemable by us at any time on or after August 11, 2021. Our Series I preferred shares have an annual dividend rate of 8.0% up to but not including October 30, 2023. On or after October 30, 2023, annual dividends on our Series I preferred shares will be based on three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 5.008% per $25.00 of liquidation preference per share. Our Series I preferred shares are redeemable by us any time on or after October 30, 2023.
We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash from operations, and existing and new credit facilities. We anticipate our medium and long-term sources of funds will be from cash from operations, new credit facilities, lease facilities and capital markets financings to the extent available.

Our Credit Facilities
On February 28, 2020, we entered into a credit agreement for a $185.0 million credit facility (the “Bank Facility”), comprised of a revolving loan and revolving letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million and a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $135.0 million. The Bank Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum and matures on February 28, 2023.
On March 6, 2020, we entered into a credit agreement for a $100.0 million term loan credit facility, which bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.0% per annum and matures on March 6, 2026.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company increased the aggregate commitment under a term loan credit facility by $100.0 million. The facility is secured by a portfolio of vessels, which also secures $1.755 billion of the Company’s other credit facilities.
36
We primarily use our credit facilities to finance the construction and acquisition of assets. As at March 31, 2020, our credit facilities are secured by first-priority mortgages granted on 69 of our vessels and substantially all of our power generation assets, together with other related security, such as assignments of shipbuilding contracts, assignments of lease contracts, earnings for our assets, assignments of insurances and management agreements for vessels.
As of March 31, 2020, we had $3.6 billion outstanding under our revolving credit facilities, term loan credit facilities, senior unsecured notes and the Fairfax Notes. In addition, there is $180.0 million available to be drawn under our revolving credit facilities and term loan credit facilities. We primarily use our credit facilities to finance the construction and acquisition of assets.
Interest payments on our revolving credit facilities are based on LIBOR plus margins, which ranged between 0.5% and 3.5% as of March 31, 2020.
Interest payments on our term loan credit facilities are based on either LIBOR plus margins, which ranged between 0.4% and 4.3% as of March 31, 2020. For a portion of one of our term loans, interest is calculated based on the reference rate of KEXIM plus a margin, which was 0.7% as of March 31, 2020.
We may prepay certain amounts outstanding without penalty, other than breakage costs in certain circumstances, with the exception of one term loan credit facility, where the Company may prepay borrowings up to the third anniversary of the facility with penalties and thereafter without penalty. A prepayment may be required as a result of certain events, including change of control and, where applicable, the sale or loss of assets or a termination or expiration of certain lease agreements (and the inability to enter into a lease replacing the terminated or expired lease suitable to lenders within a period of time). The amount that must be prepaid may be calculated based on the loan to market value. In these circumstances, valuations of our assets are conducted on an “orderly liquidation” basis as required under the credit facility agreement.
Each credit facility contains a mix of financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum liquidity, tangible net worth, interest and principal coverage ratios, and debt-to-assets ratios, as defined. Certain facilities are guaranteed by an intermediate parent entity, in which case the parent entity must meet certain consolidated financial covenants under those term loan facilities including maintaining certain minimum tangible net worth, cash requirements and debt-to-asset ratios.
Some of the facilities also have an interest and principal coverage ratio, debt service coverage and vessel value requirement for the subsidiary borrower. We were in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2020..
Fairfax Notes
Seaspan’s 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Fairfax Notes mature on February 14, 2025, January 15, 2026 and March 1, 2027, respectively. These notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.50% per year, payable quarterly in arrears and are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. In addition, we have pledged our ownership interest in certain subsidiaries as collateral for these notes. At any time on or after February 14, 2023, January 15, 2024 and January 15, 2025, we may elect to redeem all or any portion of the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Fairfax Notes respectively. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and any certain additional amounts. Fairfax has the right to call for an early redemption on the anniversary date of each issuance, by providing notice between 150 and 120 days prior to the applicable anniversary date. In February 2020, Fairfax waived its right to call for early redemption of the outstanding 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes for their anniversary dates in 2021. Therefore, the Fairfax Notes are not puttable until their respective anniversary dates in 2022. The right to call for early redemption with respect to the 2027 Fairfax Notes commences for the anniversary date starting in 2022.
Our 2027 7.125% Notes are callable at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, any time after October 10, 2020, at which point we intend to exercise the call option.
In the event of certain changes in withholding taxes, at our option, we may redeem our 2027 7.125% Notes and Fairfax Notes, in each case in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the applicable notes), each holder of such notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase.
The indentures relating to the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes provide Fairfax with the right to designate (and Fairfax has so designated in the case of the Atlas board of directors) (i) two members of the Atlas board of directors and one member of the Seaspan board of directors if at least $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes remains outstanding, or (ii) one member of the Atlas board of directors if at least $50.0 million but less than $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes remains outstanding. The indenture relating to the 2027 Fairfax Notes provides Fairfax with the right to designate (i) two members of the Atlas board of directors and one member of the Seaspan board of directors if at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Fairfax Notes remains outstanding, or (ii) one member of the Atlas board of directors if at least $50.0 million but less than $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Fairfax Notes remains outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the rights under the indentures governing the Fairfax Notes allow Fairfax to designate more than two members to the Atlas board of directors and one member to the Seaspan board of directors if the thresholds described in clause (i) of the preceding sentences is reached, or to designate more than one member to the Atlas board of directors if the thresholds described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentences is reached.
Other Financing Arrangements
Seaspan enters into financing arrangements consisting of financing sale-leaseback and failed sales arrangements with special purpose entities, which are consolidated by us as primary beneficiaries. These leases are provided by bank financial leasing owners who
37
legally own our vessels through special purpose entities and are also granted other related security, such as assignments of time charters, earnings for the vessels, insurances for the vessels and management agreements for the vessels. Seaspan uses these arrangements to finance the construction and acquisition of vessels.
As of March 31, 2020, Seaspan has seven vessels under these financing arrangements, including two vessels delivered in March 2020. As of March 31, 2020, these arrangements provided for borrowings of approximately $525.3 million. Under these agreements, we may voluntarily terminate a lease agreement, subject to payment of a termination fee in certain circumstances. Seaspan is also required to prepay rental amounts, broken funding costs and other costs to the lessor in certain circumstances, such as a termination or expiry of a charter (where we do not enter into a charter acceptable to the lessors within a required period of time). If Seaspan defaults under these financing arrangements, our lessors could declare all outstanding amounts to be immediately due and payable and realize on the security granted under these arrangements.
For additional information about our credit and lease facilities, including, among other things, a description of certain related covenants, please read “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—C. Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our 2019 Annual Report.

Operating Cash Flows
Net cash flows from operating activities were $130.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $1.4 million compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in net cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to increase in revenue from the delivery of the Six Vessels and lower interest expense, which was partially offset by dry-docking expenditures. For further discussion of changes in revenue and expenses, please read “Quarter Ended March 31, 2020 Compared with Quarter Ended March 31, 2019 – Financial Results Summary.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash flows from financing activities were $183.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $34.1 million in cash from financing activities, compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher draws on credit facilities, offset by higher repayments of credit facilities and other financing arrangements.
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash flows used in investing activities were $239.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, an increase of cash flows used of $229.2 million compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the purchase of three additional vessels.
Ongoing Capital Expenditures and Dividends
Ongoing Capital Expenditures
The average age of the vessels in our containership fleet is approximately eight years, on a TEU-weighted basis. Capital expenditures for our containership fleet primarily relate to our regularly scheduled dry-dockings. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we completed eleven dry-dockings. For the remainder of 2020, we expect sixteen additional vessels to complete dry-docking.
The average age of the diesel generators and gas turbines in our power fleet is approximately ten years. Capital expenditures for these assets primarily relate to mobilization and decommissioning requirements included in substantially all rental contracts. Since the acquisition date of APR Energy on February 28, 2020 until March 31, 2020, we have not mobilized and decommissioned any sites, respectively. For the remainder of 2020, we expect to mobilize and decommission three and five sites, respectively.
38
We must make substantial capital expenditures over the long-term to preserve our capital base, which is comprised of our net assets, to continue to refinance our indebtedness and to maintain our dividends. We will likely need to retain additional funds at some time in the future to provide reasonable assurance of maintaining our capital base over the long-term. We believe it is not possible to determine now, with any reasonable degree of certainty, how much of our operating cash flow we should retain in our business and when it should be retained to preserve our capital base. The amount of operating cash flow we retain in our business will affect the amount of our dividends. Factors that will impact our decisions regarding the amount of funds to be retained in our business to preserve our capital base, include the following, many of which are currently unknown and are outside our control:
|
|
•
|
the remaining lives of our property plant and equipment;
|
|
|
•
|
the returns that we generate on our retained cash flow, which will depend on the economic terms of any future asset acquisitions and lease terms;
|
|
|
•
|
future contract rates for our assets after the end of their existing leases agreements;
|
|
|
•
|
our future operating and interest costs;
|
|
|
•
|
future operating and financing costs;
|
|
|
•
|
our future refinancing requirements and alternatives and conditions in the relevant financing and capital markets at that time;
|
|
|
•
|
capital expenditures to comply with environmental regulations and asset retirement obligations; and
|
|
|
•
|
unanticipated future events and other contingencies.

Please read “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report for factors that may affect our future capital expenditures and results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. Our estimates affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. For more information about our critical accounting estimates, please read “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—D. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 2019 Annual Report.
39
Recently adopted accounting policies
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Loss on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with the expected credit loss impairment model (“CECL”), which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the instrument instead of only when losses are incurred. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and investments in leases recognized by the lessor. Upon adoption, a cumulative effect adjustment of $2,293,000 was made to deficit as part of the modified retrospective transition approach. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 was not considered material to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Costs incurred to mobilize and install power-generating equipment pursuant to a contract for the provision of power-generation services are recorded in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable lease term to which the power-generating equipment relates.
A summary of the useful lives used for calculating depreciation and amortization are as follows:
Turbines25 years
Generators15 years
Transformers15 years
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax effects of temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities using the applicable jurisdictional tax rates. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations
Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which provides optional relief for the discontinuation of LIBOR resulting from rate reform. Contract terms that are modified due to the replacement of a reference rate are not required to be remeasured or reassessed under its relevant US GAAP Topic. The election is available by Topic. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of the ASU.
Comparative information
Certain prior periods’ information has been reclassified to conform with current financial statement preparation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2020, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report on Form 6-K for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, contains forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) concerning our operations, cash flows, and financial position, including, in particular, the likelihood of our success in developing and expanding our business, include forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act).

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. We use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate price risks. We do not use interest rate swaps for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2020, our variable-rate credit facilities totaled $2.9 billion, of which we had entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the rates on a notional principal amount of $1.0 billion. These interest rate swaps have a fair value of $70.9 million in the counterparties’ favor.
The tables below provide information about our financial instruments at March 31, 2020 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. In addition to the disclosures in this interim report, please read note 9 to 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report, which provide additional information with respect to our existing credit and lease facilities.

Counterparties to these financial instruments may expose us to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance. As of March 31, 2020, these financial instruments are in the counterparties’ favor. We have considered and reflected the risk of non-performance by us in the fair value of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2020. As part of our consideration of non-performance risk, we perform evaluations of our counterparties for credit risk through ongoing monitoring of their financial health and risk profiles to identify funding risk or changes in their credit ratings.
Counterparties to these agreements are major financial institutions, and we consider the risk of loss due to non-performance to be minimal. We do not require collateral from these institutions. We do not hold and will not issue interest rate swaps for trading purposes.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 — Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A — Risk Factors
Our financial and operating performance may be adversely affected by the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 virus.
The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has negatively impacted, and may continue to impact negatively, global economic activity and, in particular, global transport and supply chains. This is leading to material uncertainties and lack of visibility related to the global demand for container transport and mobile power generation services, which has in turn introduced uncertainty into our operational and financial activities.
In our containership business, we may be unable to re-charter our vessels or we may find employment at lower rates or for shorter periods of time. The duration of scheduled repairs could exceed the previously calculated period, causing our vessels to remain off hire for longer periods than planned. Possible delays due to quarantine of our vessels caused by COVID-19 infection of our crew or other COVID-19 related disruptions may lead to the termination of charters leaving our vessels without employment. It is also possible that the liner companies that charter our vessels will be materially impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 virus outbreak and therefore may default on their charters or seek to restructure the terms of their charters (which, however, are legally binding). If the outbreak persists or if it is contained only to be followed by successive flare-ups, demand for containership services may be reduced further. This could decrease the price and number of our time charters in the future and may result in some of our vessels remaining idle for any length of time thus materially and adversely affecting our business operations.
In our APR Energy business, delays in transporting our turbines and balance of plant equipment, as well as our personnel, to project sites due to restrictions on travel or delays in customs clearance of our equipment shipped to overseas installations may result in our incurring additional costs to ensure we meet the deadline specified in the contract for the plant to start commercial operation or, if we do not meet such deadline, our becoming obligated to pay our customer the delay penalties specified under the contract.
While the global market downturn, closures and limitations on movement are expected to be temporary, the duration of the disruption to global transport and supply chains, and related financial impacts, cannot be estimated at this time. This uncertainty could have an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of our quarterly financial results (including for the first quarter of 2020), including but not limited to impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, income tax provision, recoverability of inventory and hedge accounting with respect to forecasted future transactions. Should the closures and limitation on movement continue for an extended period of time or worsen, the impact on demand for our services could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Financial distress, particularly related to the COVID-19 pandemic, or a change-in-control of one of our containership customers could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of major container liner companies which have been an integral part of our positive business results for several years. If one of our large container liner customers experiences financial distress due to the COVID-19 pandemic, bankruptcy or a change-in-control, such circumstance could likely lead to significant reductions in our revenues, commercial disputes, receivable collection issues, and other negative consequences that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created disruptions and turmoil in global credit and financial markets and the ongoing impacts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused, and is likely to continue to cause disruptions and turmoil in the global credit and financial markets. The volatility in the global capital markets could make it more difficult and costly for us to access capital on favorable terms to meet our liquidity needs or refinance debt obligations that are maturing thus materially affecting our financial position. The disruptions to the global credit and financial markets could also have material negative impacts on business operations and financial positions of our customers and suppliers, which may negatively impact our bookings, revenues and supply chain. If the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global credit financial markets continues, or worsens, it could negatively impact our business, along with the financial condition of our customers and suppliers, and it could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Item 2 — Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
As consideration for the acquisition of the shares of APR Energy, on February 28, 2020, Atlas issued 29,891,266 common shares to the Sellers (including 22,643,659 common shares issued to Fairfax and its affiliated entities) and reserved 6,664,270 common shares for future issuance (the “Holdback Shares”). The amount of Holdback Shares to be issued to the Sellers will be determined upon settlement of certain purchase price adjustments related to net debt and working capital and certain specified indemnification obligations over a period of between 90 days to five years after the date of acquisition. The acquisition agreement provides for specific settlement methods requiring cancellation of Holdback Shares or allowing the Sellers the option to settle obligations to Atlas in cash. For certain of these arrangements, if the Holdback Shares are insufficient, Fairfax, individually or together with the other Sellers may be required to compensate the Company in cash or return previously issued common shares. Fairfax may also be required to make certain other indemnifications, in cash. Any Holdback Shares that are not cancelled after the expiry of their respective assigned periods, will be issued to the Sellers, plus any accrued distributions or dividends. On the closing date of the acquisition, Atlas further issued 775,139 common shares to Fairfax to settle APR Energy’s indebtedness to it at closing.
The 29,891,266 common shares issued to the Sellers as consideration for the shares of APR Energy and the775,139 common shares issued to Fairfax to settle APR Energy’s indebtedness were issued pursuant to the private placement exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S thereunder.
Upon the closing of the APR Energy acquisition, Atlas entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Sellers. The Registration Rights Agreement provide that on or prior to 75 days after the completion of the acquisition, Atlas will file a registration statement covering the resale of the Atlas common shares issued or issuable to the Sellers pursuant to the APR Energy acquisition agreement (the “Registrable Securities”). The Registration Rights Agreement further provides the Sellers with the right to demand that Atlas register the Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, as well as the right to include the Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering of Atlas common shares initiated by Atlas or any other shareholder, subject to customary exceptions and limitations.
Atlas will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the Registrable Securities by the Sellers.
