What Awaits Dynagas LNG Partners (DLNG) in Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dynagas LNG Partners (DLNG - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2020 results on Sep 3, 2020.
The partnership’s bottom line outperformed estimates in only one of the last four quarters and lagged the same in the other three. The average miss is 26%.
For the to-be-reported quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has increased 7.1% to 15 cents over the past 60 days. Against this backdrop, let’s take a look at the factors that might have shaped the company’s June-quarter performance.
Fleet utilization is expected to have been low in the second quarter due to coronavirus-induced disruptions. In fact, woes related to this deadly disease are likely to have impacted the company’s June-quarter performance more severely than the March quarter. This was because the entire three-month period (April to June) of the quarter to be reported bore the brunt of this pandemic-borne crisis compared to only a single month (March) in the first quarter.
Given the prevalence of coronavirus, multiple sailings were already canceled in the quarter. Moreover, vessels were rapidly idled. Consequently, voyage revenues are likely to have decreased in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, vessel operating expenses might have declined year over year in the June quarter, thereby aiding the company’s bottom line. This was mainly owing to lower expenses on maintenance and repair as many vessels were underutilized because of the pandemic in the three-month period ending Jun 30, 2020.
