OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

 

New York, NY – May 10, 2016 – Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (OSG) (NYSE MKT: OSG, OSGB), a provider of oceangoing energy transportation services, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

·Net income for the first quarter was $50.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with $42.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2015.
·Adjusted EBITDA(B) was $129.5 million, up 14% from $113.7 million in the same period in 2015.
·Total cash(C) was $416.6 million as of March 31, 2016.
·Repurchased and retired $95.9 million in principal amount of subsidiary term loans in 2016 at a discounted price of $88.8 million.

·Repurchased and retired $58 million of Class A common stock and warrants at an average share equivalent price of $2.03, in the first quarter of 2016.
·The Board declared a dividend of $0.17968 per outstanding Class B common stock and Class B warrants, payable on May 13, 2016, in connection with the previously announced settlement in its lawsuit against Proskauer.

 

“We are pleased to report strong first quarter performance,” said Captain Ian T. Blackley, OSG’s president and CEO. “In our International business, rates in the crude sector remained attractive as ton-mile demand growth outpaced newbuilding supply and our Domestic business turned in another good quarter, as U.S. crude production held above 9.0 million barrels per day and gasoline demand continued to grow.

 

“We are making good progress on our separation plans for the businesses, which we believe will unlock greater value and enable us to distribute that value to shareholders more efficiently. At the same time, strong cash generation from our 79 vessel fleet allowed us to further enhance our capital structure through debt repurchases and prepayments and return value to shareholders through equity buybacks,” concluded Blackley.

 

First Quarter 2016 Results

 

TCE revenues grew to $236.9 million for the quarter, an increase of $15.3 million compared with the first quarter of 2015, driven by continuing strength in VLCC spot market rates, increased Delaware Bay lightering volumes and an increase in revenue days.

 

Net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $50.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with $42.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2015. The increase reflects the impact of strengthened TCE revenues, lower general and administrative expenses and lower interest expense, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expenses.

 

 

A, B, C Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release starting on Page 8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $129.5 million for the quarter, an increase of $15.8 million compared with the first quarter of 2015, driven primarily by the strength of VLCC spot rates, increased Delaware Bay lightering volumes and an increase in revenue days.

 

International Crude Tankers

 

TCE revenues for the International Crude Tankers segment were $87.4 million for the quarter, an increase of $20.5 million compared with the first quarter of 2015. This significant increase resulted from a strengthening in daily rates across most vessel types in the segment, with the VLCC spot rate increasing to $63,400 per day in the first quarter, up 29% from the comparable 2015 period and the Panamax blended rate increasing 23% to $25,600 per day. Additionally, revenue days for the segment increased 9.5% over the first quarter of 2015 primarily driven by the Company’s ULCC exiting lay-up and commencing a time charter for storage in April 2015 and 66 fewer VLCC drydock days in the current quarter.

 

International Product Carriers

 

TCE revenues for the International Product Carriers segment were $37.3 million for the quarter, down 14% compared with the first quarter of 2015. This decrease was primarily due to lower average daily blended rates earned by the MR fleet. Also contributing was a 178-day decrease in revenue days resulting from the sale of the Luxmar in July 2015 and the redelivery of one time chartered-in vessel at the expiry of its charter. These decreases were partially offset by the LR1 blended rate increasing to approximately $23,000 in the first quarter, up 20% from the comparable 2015 period.

 

U.S. Flag

 

TCE revenues for the U.S. Flag segment were $112.2 million for the quarter, an increase of $1.0 million compared with the first quarter of 2015, driven primarily by increased Delaware Bay lightering volumes, as 145,000 barrels per day were transported during the quarter, double the comparable 2015 period. Lower oil prices and the resulting drop in U.S. crude oil production has narrowed the pricing spread between Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude making it more attractive for U.S. Northeast refineries to import crude oil.

1The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03, simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASC 835), which amends the requirement to recognize debt issuance costs as deferred charges. The amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying cost of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2016 and has applied the guidance retrospectively. The impact of the retrospective adoption on the Company’s December 31, 2015 balance sheet are reductions of both other assets and long-term debt by $44,543.

Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the following non-GAAP measures may provide certain investors with additional information that will better enable them to evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide supplemental information, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(A) Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) Revenues

 

Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses TCE revenues, which represents shipping revenues less voyage expenses, as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time charter. TCE revenues, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with shipping revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Reconciliation of TCE revenues of the segments to shipping revenues as reported in the consolidated statements of operations follow:

 

  

Three Months Ended March 31,

 
($ in thousands)  2016   2015 
TCE revenues  $236,922   $221,642 
Add: Voyage Expenses   6,834    11,900 
Shipping revenues  $243,756   $233,542 
           

 

(B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

 

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as a measure of operating results and performance, neither of them is necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
