OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP REPORTS

THIRD QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

 

Tampa, FL – November 8, 2019 – Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE: OSG) (the “Company” or “OSG”) a provider of energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the third quarter 2019.

 

Highlights

 

  Shipping revenues for the third quarter 2019 were $80.9 million, up 0.5% compared with the same period in 2018. Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A), a non-GAAP measure, for the third quarter 2019 were $76.5 million, up 6.2% compared with the third quarter 2018.
     
  Third quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was $16.1 million, up 47.7% from $10.9 million in the third quarter 2018.
     
  Operating income for the third quarter of 2019 was $1.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2018.
     
  Net loss for the third quarter 2019 was $3.8 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, compared with net income of $11.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2018 at which time we recognized $21.7 million of previously deferred tax benefits upon completion of an Internal Revenue Service examination.
     
  Total cash(C) was $49.7 million as of September 30, 2019.
     
  On September 30, 2019, the Company took delivery of two 50,000 DWT class product and chemical tankers at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd. The tankers, named the Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, will be operating in the international market under the Marshall Islands flag, with both vessels having entered into one-year time charters. We entered into loans in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million to finance the vessels.

 

Mr. Sam Norton, President and CEO, stated, “Attaining key commercial targets across the second half of 2019 has stood as a defining element of whether or not the business strategy we have been pursuing for the past several years would find success. In this respect, we are pleased to have been able to secure time charter contracts for a total of 10 of our vessels since the end of the second quarter, increasing our forward revenue cover for 2020 to over 75% of available vessel days. Several of these contracts are for firm periods of more than one year, adding increased duration to our charter book in addition to higher charter rates. In both these areas, we consider the progress evidenced as particularly promising for our future financial performance.”

 

Mr. Norton added, “Overall, third quarter results were gratifying, showing a marked improvement in operating performance over last year’s third quarter in the context of material changes to both vessels in operation and the mix of contract revenues.”

 

Third Quarter 2019 Results

 

Shipping revenues were $80.9 million for the quarter, up 0.5% compared with the third quarter of 2018. TCE revenues for the third quarter of 2019 were $76.5 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 6.2%, compared with the third quarter of 2018. The increase primarily resulted from (a) an increase in average daily rates earned by the Company’s fleet, (b) decreased spot market exposure, (c) a 61 day decrease in scheduled drydocking, and (d) a 78 day decrease in unplanned repair days. The increase was offset by two fewer vessels in operation during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.

 

Operating income for the third quarter of 2019 was $1.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2018.

 

 

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

 

   
 

 

Net loss for the third quarter 2019 was $3.8 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, compared with net income of $11.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2018 at which time we recognized $21.7 million of previously deferred tax benefits upon completion of an Internal Revenue Service examination.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $16.1 million for the third quarter, an increase of $5.2 million compared with the third quarter of 2018.

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. Time charter equivalent 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

   Nine Months Ended

   2019   2018   2019   2018 
Time charter equivalent revenues  $76,502   $72,055   $241,360   $246,798 
Add: Voyage expenses   4,424    8,481    15,762    30,135 
Shipping revenues  $80,926   $80,536   $257,122   $276,933 

 

Vessel Operating Contribution

 

Vessel operating contribution, a non-GAAP measure, is TCE revenues minus vessel expenses and charter hire expenses.

 

Our “niche market activities”, which includes Delaware Bay lightering, MSP vessels and shuttle tankers, continue to provide a stable operating platform underlying our total US Flag operations. We believe these vessels’ operations are insulated from the forces affecting the broader Jones Act market.

Operating income/(loss)  $1,215   $(4,127)  $14,753   $19,974 

 

(B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

 

EBITDA represents net (loss)/income from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted to exclude amortization classified in charter hire expenses, interest expense classified in charter hire expenses, gain/(loss) on disposal of vessels and other property, including impairments, loss on repurchases and extinguishment of debt, non-cash stock based compensation expense and the impact of other items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be a substitute for, net (loss)/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/(loss) from continuing operations as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Prior periods have been adjusted to conform to current year presentation.
