Note 1 — Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of International Seaways, Inc. (“INSW”), a Marshall Islands corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “INSW”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”, refer to International Seaways, Inc. and its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s operating fleet consisted of 75 wholly-owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in and time-chartered-in oceangoing vessels, engaged primarily in the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products in the International Flag trade through its wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition to its operating fleet, three dual-fuel LNG-powered VLCC newbuilds are scheduled for delivery to the Company between the first and second quarters of 2023, bringing the total operating and newbuild fleet to 78 vessels as of September 30, 2022.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

All intercompany balances and transactions within INSW have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned affiliated companies, in which INSW exercises significant influence, are accounted for by the equity method.

Note 2 — Merger Transaction:

Completion of Merger Transaction

On July 16, 2021 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of March 30, 2021, by and among INSW, Diamond S Shipping Inc., a Republic of the Marshall Islands corporation (“Diamond S”), and Dispatch Transaction Sub, Inc., a Republic of the Marshall Islands corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of INSW (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Diamond S (the “Merger”), with Diamond S surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of INSW. Immediately following the Effective Time, the Company contributed all of the outstanding stock of Diamond S to International Seaways Operating Corporation, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

At the Effective Time, each common share of Diamond S (the “Diamond S Common Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding Diamond S Common Shares owned by Diamond S, the Company, Merger Sub or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries) was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive 0.55375 of a share of common stock of the Company (the “INSW Common Stock”) and cash payable in respect of fractional shares. The aforementioned 0.55375 exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement resulted in the issuance of 22,536,647 shares of INSW Common Stock, with the pre-Merger INSW shareholders and the former Diamond S shareholders owning approximately 55.75% and 44.25%, respectively, of the 50,674,393 issued and outstanding common stock of the Company immediately following the Effective Time.

As provided for under the terms of the Merger Agreement, on July 15, 2021, prior to the Effective Time, INSW paid a special dividend to its shareholders of record as of July 14, 2021 in an aggregate amount equal to $31.5 million ($1.12 per share).

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies:

For a description of all of the Company’s material accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following is a summary of any changes or updates to the Company’s critical accounting policies for the current period:

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash — Interest-bearing deposits that are highly liquid investments and have a maturity of three months or less when purchased are included in cash and cash equivalents. Restricted cash of $1.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 represents legally restricted cash relating to the Company’s Macquarie Credit Facility (See Note 10, “Debt”). Such facilities stipulate that cash accounts be maintained which are limited in their use to pay expenses related to drydocking the vessels and servicing the debt facilities.

Short-term investments - Short-term investments consist of time deposits with original maturities of between 90 and 364 days.

Concentration of Credit Risk — The allowance for credit losses is recognized as an allowance or contra-asset and reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the voyage receivables balance. Activity for allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)		Allowance for Credit Losses - Voyage Receivables
Balance at December 31, 2021	$	31
Provision for expected credit losses		130
Balance at September 30, 2022	$	161

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any individual customers who accounted for 10% or more of its revenues apart from the pools in which it participates. The pools in which the Company participates accounted in aggregate for 96% and 93% of consolidated voyage receivables at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Deferred finance charges — Finance charges, excluding original issue discount, incurred in the arrangement and/or amendments resulting in the modification of debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense on either an effective interest method or straight-line basis over the term of the related debt. Unamortized deferred finance charges of $7.1 million relating to the $750 Million Facility Revolving Loan and BoComm Lease Financing as of September 30, 2022 and $3.7 million relating to the $390 Million Facility Revolving Loan and BoComm Lease Financing (See Note 10, “Debt”) as of December 31, 2021, respectively, are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized deferred financing charges of $14.9 million and $9.9 million relating to the Company’s outstanding debt facilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, are included in long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense relating to the amortization of deferred financing charges amounted to $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Vessels construction in progress — Interest costs are capitalized to vessels during the period that vessels are under construction. Interest capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Time Charter Contracts Acquired — The Company’s intangible assets consist of charter-out contracts with contractual rates in excess of fair market charter rates that were acquired as part of the Merger. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of time charter revenues over the remaining term of such charters. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, amortization totaled $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards —In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848), which provides relief for companies preparing for discontinuation of interest rates such as LIBOR. A contract modification is eligible to apply the optional relief to account for the modifications as a continuation of the existing contracts without additional analysis and consider embedded features to be clearly and closely related to the host contract without reassessment, if all of the following criteria are met: (1) contract references a rate that will be discontinued; (2) modified terms directly replace (or have potential to replace) this reference rate; and (3) changes to any other terms that change (or have potential to change) amount and timing of cash flows must be related to replacement of the reference rate. In addition, this guidance provides relief from certain hedge accounting requirements. Hedge accounting may continue uninterrupted when critical terms change due to reference rate reform. For cash flow hedges, entities can (1) disregard potential discontinuation of a referenced interest rate when assessing whether a hedged forecasted interest payment is probable; (2) continue hedge accounting upon a change in the hedged risk as long as the hedge is still highly effective; (3) assess effectiveness of the hedge relationship in ways that essentially disregards a potential mismatch in the variable rate indices between the hedging instrument and the hedged item; and (4) disregard the requirement that individual hedged transactions must share the same risk exposure for hedges of portfolios of forecasted transactions that reference a rate affected by reference rate reform. Relief provided by this ASU is optional and expires December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848) to refine the scope of ASC 848 and to clarify some of its guidance. The Company has determined that its primary exposure to LIBOR is in relation to its floating rate debt facilities. On November 30, 2020, the benchmark administrator for the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) LIBOR announced a proposal to extend the publication of the most commonly used USD LIBOR settings until June 30, 2023. In light of this proposal, in an interagency statement, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued guidance, strongly encouraging banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. Only in limited circumstances will it be appropriate for banks to enter into new contracts referencing USD LIBOR after December 31, 2021. The principal objective, and result, of these actions appears to be that legacy USD LIBOR-based instruments (i.e., those maturing after December 31, 2021) may continue to use USD LIBOR as a reference rate through June 30, 2023, without undermining the regulators’ determination that LIBOR should not be available for any other purpose. On January 25, 2021, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), published new fallback provisions for derivatives linked to key interbank offered rates (“IBOR”) which will be incorporated into all new derivatives contracts that reference ISDA’s standard interest rate derivatives definitions. Such fallback provisions will also be included in legacy non-cleared derivatives if the counterparties have bilaterally agreed to include them, or both have adhered to the IBOR fallback protocol. The Company has engaged and will continue to engage in discussions with its lending banks in advance of the June 30, 2023 sunset date for the USD LIBOR reference rate settings used in its agreements to evaluate the Company’s options. Based on information available today, the Company’s current view is that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) will be the alternative reference rate that the Company’s LIBOR-based agreements will transition to as the sunset date draws closer.

Note 4 — Earnings per Common Share:

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing earnings, after the deduction of dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock units not classified as participating securities. Participating securities are defined by ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, as unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Weighted average shares of unvested restricted common stock considered to be participating securities totaled 49,778 and 68,945 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 106,384 and 73,172 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Such participating securities are allocated a portion of income, but not losses under the two-class method. As of September 30, 2022, there were 592,112 shares of restricted stock units and 537,357 stock options outstanding and considered to be potentially dilutive securities.

Note 5 — Business and Segment Reporting:

The Company has two reportable segments: Crude Tankers and Product Carriers. The Company’s investments in and equity in income of the joint ventures with two floating storage and offloading service vessels, which were sold on June 7, 2022, are included in the Crude Tankers Segment. Adjusted income/(loss) from vessel operations for segment purposes is defined as income/(loss) from vessel operations before general and administrative expenses, third-party debt modification fees, merger and integration related costs and loss/(gain) on disposal of vessels and other property, including impairments. The accounting policies followed by the reportable segments are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses time charter equivalent revenues, which represent 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, provide 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.

Note 6 — Vessels:

Impairment of Vessels and Other Property

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company gave consideration on a quarterly basis as to whether events or changes in circumstances had occurred since December 31, 2021, that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the vessels in the Company’s fleet may not be recoverable. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company continued to monitor industry and market factors and intentions regarding its vessels to determine if indicators of impairment were present and determined that none of the vessels in the Company’s fleet met held-for-sale criteria as of September 30, 2022 and no held-for-use impairment indicators existed for the Company’s vessels as of September 30, 2022. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company concluded that the contracted sales of one 2004-built Panamax and two 2006-built Handysize product carriers resulted in the recognition of impairment charges aggregating $1.7 million.

The Company also recognized an aggregate loss of approximately $0.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, related to the cost to terminate the purchase and installation contracts for ballast water treatment systems on three of the Company’s MRs that were sold during 2021.

Vessel Acquisitions and Construction Commitments

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

In January 2022, the Company entered into memoranda of agreements for the sale of a 2010-built MR for a sale price of $16.5 million and the purchase of a 2011-built LR1 for a purchase price of $19.5 million with the same counterparty. The LR1 was delivered into our niche commercial pool, Panamax International. The Company closed both transactions during the first quarter of 2022, recognizing a gain of $4.5 million on the sale of the 2010-built MR and a net cash outflow of $3.0 million representing the difference in value between the two vessels. The LR1 vessel replaced the MR as collateral under the $525 Million Credit Facility with no further mandatory principal repayment required.

On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into agreements to construct three dual-fuel LNG-powered VLCCs at Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering’s shipyard. The VLCCs will be able to burn LNG in their power plant, which will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Upon delivery to the Company in the first quarter of 2023, the vessels will be employed on seven-year time charter contracts with an oil major – Shell. The total construction cost for the vessels is approximately $290.0 million, which will be paid for through a combination of cash on hand and funds drawn from the BoComm Lease Financing (See Note 10, “Debt”). Accumulated expenditures of $101.7 million and $49.3 million (including capitalized interest costs of $2.7 million and $0.6 million) are included in vessels construction in progress in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The remaining commitments on the contracts for the construction of these vessels as of September 30, 2022 was $192.2 million, which will be funded by the BoComm Lease Financing over the course of the construction and delivery of the three vessels.

Disposal/Sales of Vessels

In addition to the sale of the 2010-built MR described above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company also delivered a 2008-built MR, one 2002-built Panamax, one 2004-built Panamax and its remaining four 2006-built Handysize product carriers to buyers and recognized an aggregate gain of $7.6 million.

In addition, in November 2022, the Company entered into memorandum of agreement for the sale of a 2008-built MR, which is expected to be delivered to the buyer during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Note 7 — Equity Method Investments:

Investments in affiliated companies include joint ventures accounted for using the equity method, including the Company’s 50% interest in two joint ventures - TI Africa Limited (“TI Africa”) and TI Asia Limited (“TI Asia”), which operate two Floating Storage and Offloading Service vessels that were converted from two ULCCs (collectively the “FSO Joint Venture”). Pursuant to a share purchase agreement, on June 7, 2022, the Company sold its 50% ownership interest in the FSO Joint Venture, to its joint venture partner Euronav NV. The Company received, net of adjustments for working capital and expenses, approximately $140 million in cash from the sale. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of $9.5 million and reclassified the Company’s share of the unrealized losses associated with the interest rate swaps held by the FSO Joint Venture at the time of the sale of $0.1 million into earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss).

The share purchase agreement contains specified representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions of the parties customary for transactions of this type

The Company received $0.8 million in cash for the sale of its interest, after certain deductions, and recognized a $0.1 million gain on the sale of the joint venture.

Prior to July 1, 2022, DASM was owned 51% by the Company and 49% by AE Holdings, AE Holdings did not participate in the income or equity of DASM, and the Company was considered to be the primary beneficiary of DASM as the Company had the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impacted DASM’s economic performance.

Derivatives

In May 2022, in connection with the refinancing of its $390 Million Facility Term Loan and $525 Million Facility Term Loan, the Company terminated all of its existing in-the-money LIBOR based interest swaps with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $358.6 million and received net cash proceeds of approximately $9.6 million, with $4.6 million of the gain expected to amortize out of accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings within the next 12 months.

With regards to the hybrid instrument associated with the Sinosure Credit Facility that was terminated in November 2021, $2.1 million of the loss is expected to amortize out of accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings within the next 12 months.

On June 2, 2022, the Company entered into amortizing interest rate swap agreements covering a notional amount of $475 million of the $750 Million Facility Term Loan with major financial institutions participating in such facility that effectively converts the Company’s interest rate exposure from a three-month SOFR floating rate to a fixed rate of 2.84% through the maturity date of February 22, 2027, effective August 22, 2022. The interest rate swap agreements, which contain no leverage features, are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		Fair Value Level
Derivative Assets (interest rate swaps)	$	11,053	$	1,296		Level 2⁽¹⁾
Derivative Liabilities (interest rate swaps)		—		(3,296)		Level 2⁽¹⁾

(1)

For the interest rate swaps, fair values are derived using valuation models that utilize the income valuation approach. These valuation models take into account contract terms such as maturity, as well as other inputs such as interest rate yield curves and creditworthiness of the counterparty and the Company.

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets for which impairment charges were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:


(Dollars in thousands)		Fair Value		Level 2		Total Impairment Charges
Crude Tankers - Vessels held for sale ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾	$	7,561	$	7,561	$	(1,019)
Product Carriers - Vessels held for sale^{(1) (2)}		9,850		9,850		(207)
Product Carriers - Vessels held for use ^{(1) (2)}		9,575		9,575		(471)

(1)

A pre-tax held for sale impairment charge of $1.0 million related to one Panamax in the Crude Tankers segment was recorded during the first quarter of 2022, including a charge of $0.9 million to write the value of the vessel down to its estimated fair value, and estimated costs to sell the vessel of $0.1 million. A pre-tax held for sale impairment charge of $0.2 million related to one MR in the Product Carriers segment was recorded during the first quarter of 2022, consisting of $0.2 million costs to sell the vessel. A pre-tax held for use impairment charge of $0.5 million related to one Handysize product carrier was recorded during the first quarter of 2022 to write the value of the vessel down to its estimated fair value.

(2)

Fair value measurement of $27.0 million at March 31, 2022 used to determine the impairments for the vessels was based upon a market approach, which considered the sale prices of the vessels based on the executed memoranda of agreements as discussed in Note 6, "Vessels." The sales prices are considered to be Level 2 because sales of vessels occur somewhat infrequently.

$750 Million Credit Facility

On May 20, 2022, International Seaways Operating Corporation (“ISOC”), the borrower, and certain of their subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement comprising $750 million of secured debt facilities (the “$750 Million Credit Facility”) with Nordea Bank Abp, New York Branch (“Nordea”), Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (“CA-CIB”), BNP Paribas, DNB Markets Inc. and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (PUBL) (or their respective affiliates), as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners; Danish Ship Finance A/S and ING Bank N.V., London Branch (or their respective affiliates), as mandated lead arrangers; and National Australia Bank Limited, as co-arranger. Nordea is acting as administrative agent, collateral agent and security trustee under the credit agreement, and CA-CIB is acting as sustainability coordinator. Capitalized terms used in this paragraph and elsewhere not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the credit agreement.

The $750 Million Credit Facility consists of (i) a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $530 million (the “$750 Million Facility Term Loan”) and (ii) a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $220 million (the “750 Million Facility Revolving Loan). The $750 Million Facility Term Loan contains an uncommitted accordion feature whereby, for a period of up to 24 months following the closing date, the amount of the loan thereunder may be increased up to an additional incremental $250 million (in increments of at least $10 million) for the acquisition of Additional Vessels, subject to certain conditions.

The $750 Million Credit Facility is secured by a first lien on 55 of the Company’s vessels, along with their earnings, insurances and certain other assets. In addition, both facilities are secured by liens on certain additional assets of ISOC.

available cash, were used to repay (i) the $163 million outstanding principal balance under the $390 Million Credit Facility; (ii) the $284 million outstanding principal balance under the $525 Million Credit Facility; and (iii) the $127.8 million outstanding principal balance under the $360 Million Credit Facility; and to pay certain expenses related to the refinancing, including certain structuring and arrangement fees, legal and administrative fees totaling $10.5 million.

The $70 million drawn under the $750 Million Facility Revolving Loan was repaid on June 15, 2022, using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the FSO Joint Venture (see Note 7, “Equity Method Investments”).

Interest on the $750 Million Credit Facility is calculated based upon Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin is currently 2.40%. The facilities also include a sustainability-linked pricing mechanism. The adjustment in pricing will be linked to three factors:

●

a Fleet Sustainability Score Target, reflecting the carbon efficiency of the INSW fleet as it relates to reductions in CO₂ emissions year-over-year, such that it aligns with the International Maritime Organization’s 50% industry reduction target in GHG emissions by 2050, to be calculated in a manner consistent with the de-carbonization trajectory outlined in the Poseidon Principles (the global framework by which financial institutions can assess the climate alignment of their ship finance portfolios relative to established de-carbonization trajectories)

●

a Sustainability-Linked Investment Target, reflecting targeted spending of $3 million per annum on investments in energy efficiency improvements, decarbonization, and other environmental, social and corporate governance-related initiatives; and

●

a Lost Time Incident Frequency Target, reflecting performance against a Lost Time Incident Frequency average published by Intertanko.

The Company is required to deliver annually, commencing in July 2023, a sustainability certificate for the preceding calendar year setting out the sustainability-related calculations required under the credit agreement. If the Company achieves all of the targets set out in the credit agreement, the Applicable Margin will be decreased by 0.05% per annum, while if the Company fails to achieve any of the targets set out in the credit agreement, the Applicable Margin will be increased by that same amount (but in no case will any such adjustment result in the Applicable Margin being increased or decreased from the otherwise-applicable Applicable Margin by more than 0.05% per annum in the aggregate).

The $750 Million Facility Term Loan amortizes in 19 quarterly installments of approximately $30.6 million (other than the final payment of $9.8 million) commencing November 20, 2022. The maturity date of the $750 Million Credit Facility is May 20, 2027, and is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events (as described in the credit agreement).

The $750 Million Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties, restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company, ISOC and the subsidiary guarantors (and in certain cases, other subsidiaries).

Hyuga Lease Financing

On January 14, 2022, the Company entered into a lease financing arrangement with Hyuga Kaiun Co., Ltd (“Hyuga”) for the sale and leaseback of a 2011-built MR, which was a $390 Million Facility Collateral Vessel, for a net sale price of $16.7 million (the “Hyuga Lease Financing”). The transaction generated net proceeds of $5.7 million, after prepaying $11.0 million of the $390 Million Facility Term Loan. Under the lease financing arrangement, the vessel is subject to a nine-year bareboat charter at a bareboat rate of $6,300 per day for the first three years, $6,200 per day for the second three years, and $6,000 per day for the last three years, with purchase options exercisable commencing at the end of the fourth year and a $2.0 million purchase obligation at the end of the nine-year term.

The transaction generated net proceeds of $10.6 million, after prepaying $4.6 million of the $525 Million Facility Term Loan. Under the lease financing arrangement, the vessel is subject to an eight-year bareboat charter at a bareboat rate of $6,250 per day for the first four years, and $6,150 per day for the remaining four years, with purchase options exercisable commencing at the end of the fourth year and a $1.5 million purchase obligation at the end of the eight-year term.

8.5% Senior Notes

On August 5, 2022, the Company redeemed the $25 million aggregate principal outstanding of the 8.5% Senior Notes due June 2023.

Debt Covenants

The Company was in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants under all of its financing arrangements as of September 30, 2022.

The $750 Million Credit Facility, the Macquarie Credit Facility, the ING Credit Facility and certain of the Company’s lease financing arrangements contain customary representations, warranties, restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company, the Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors (and in certain cases, other subsidiaries), including financial covenants that require the Company (i) to maintain a minimum liquidity level of the greater of $50 million and 5% of the Company’s Consolidated Indebtedness; (ii) to ensure the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ Maximum Leverage Ratio will not exceed 0.60 to 1.00 at any time; (iii) to ensure that Current Assets exceeds Current Liabilities (which is defined to exclude the current potion of Consolidated Indebtedness); and (iv) to ensure the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Collateral Vessels will not be less than 135% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Revolving Loans of each Facility.

The 8.5% Senior Notes Indenture (the “Indenture”), which was terminated in conjunction with the August 5, 2022 redemption described above, contained certain covenants that required the Company to (i) not permit Total Borrowings (as defined in the Indenture) to equal or exceed 70% of Total Assets (as defined in the Indenture), and (ii) ensure that Net Worth (defined as Total Assets, less Intangible Assets and Total Borrowings, as defined in the Indenture) exceeded $600 million pursuant to the Minimum Net Worth covenant in the Indenture.

The Company’s credit facilities also require it to comply with a number of covenants, including the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements, budgets and annual projections; maintaining required insurances; compliance with laws (including environmental); compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”); maintenance of flag and class of the collateral vessels; restrictions on consolidations, mergers or sales of assets; limitations on liens; limitations on issuance of certain equity interests; limitations on transactions with affiliates; and other customary covenants and related provisions.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense before the impact of capitalized interest, including amortization of issuance and deferred financing costs (for additional information related to deferred financing costs see Note 3, “Significant Accounting Policies”), commitment, administrative and other fees for all of the Company’s debt facilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $16.4 million and $43.0 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $10.7 million and $24.8 million, respectively.

Debt Modifications, Repurchases and Extinguishments

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized a net loss of $0.1 million, which is included in other expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The net loss reflects a write-off of $0.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the $11.0 million principal prepayment of the $390 Million Facility Term Loan in January 2022 (in connection with the Hyuga Lease Financing transaction described above), which was treated as a partial extinguishment.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized a net loss of $0.2 million, which is included in other expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The net loss reflects a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the $10.0 million principal prepayment of the $390 Million Facility Term Loan in April 2022 (in connection with the Kaiyo Lease Financing transaction described above), which was treated as a partial extinguishment.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recognized a net loss of $0.4 million, which is included in other expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The net loss reflects a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the $25.0 million principal prepayment of the 8.5% Senior Notes in August 2022.

Note 11 — Taxes:

The Company derives substantially all of its gross income from the use and operation of vessels in international commerce. The Company’s entities that own and operate vessels are primarily domiciled in the Marshall Islands and Liberia, which do not impose income tax on shipping operations. The Company also has or had subsidiaries in various jurisdictions that perform administrative, commercial or technical management functions. These subsidiaries are subject to income tax based on the services performed in countries in which their offices are located; current and deferred income taxes are recorded accordingly.

A substantial portion of income earned by the Company is not subject to income tax. With respect to subsidiaries not subject to income tax in their respective countries of incorporation, no deferred taxes are provided for the temporary differences in the bases of the underlying assets and liabilities for tax and accounting purposes.

The Company reviews its freight tax obligations on a regular basis and may update its assessment of its tax positions based on available information at that time. Such information may include additional legal advice as to the applicability of freight taxes in relevant jurisdictions. Freight tax regulations are subject to change and interpretation; therefore, the amounts recorded by the Company may change accordingly.

The Marshall Islands and Liberia impose tonnage taxes, which are assessed on the tonnage of certain of the Company’s vessels. These tonnage taxes are included in vessel expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 12 — Capital Stock and Stock Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the fair value method required by ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Such fair value method requires share-based payment transactions to be measured according to the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Restricted Common Stock

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company awarded a total of 41,718 restricted common stock shares to its non-employee directors. The weighted average fair value of INSW’s stock on the measurement date of such awards was $24.45 per share. Such restricted share awards vest in full on the earlier of the next annual meeting of the stockholders or June 3, 2023, subject to each director continuing to provide services to INSW through such date. The restricted share awards granted may not be transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered prior to vesting. Prior to the vesting date, a holder of restricted share awards otherwise has all the rights of a shareholder of INSW, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive dividends paid with respect to such shares at the same time as common shareholders generally.

Restricted Stock Units and Stock Options

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 327,906 time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain of its senior officers and employees. The weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was $19.65 per RSU. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of INSW common stock upon vesting. 304,650 of the RSUs awarded will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date and 23,256 of the RSUs awarded will cliff vest on September 30, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company also awarded 124,590 performance-based RSUs to certain of its senior officers and employees. Each performance stock unit represents a contingent right to receive RSUs based upon the covered employees being continuously employed through the end of the period over which the performance goals are measured and shall vest as follows: (i) one-half of the target RSUs shall vest on December 31, 2024, subject to INSW’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance in the three-year ROIC performance period relative to a target rate (the “ROIC Target”) set forth in the award agreements; and (ii) one-half of the target RSUs shall vest on December 31, 2024, subject to INSW’s three-year total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance relative to that of a performance peer group over a three-year performance period (“TSR Target”). Vesting is subject in each case to the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors’ certification of achievement of the performance measures and targets no later than March 15, 2025. The weighted average grant date fair value of the awards with performance conditions was determined to be $19.63 per RSU. The weighted average grant date fair value of the TSR based performance awards which have a market condition was estimated using a Monte Carlo probability model and determined to be $20.65 per RSU.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 274,549 stock options were exercised by certain senior officers and employees at an average exercise price of $18.52 per share. After withholdings for taxes and exercise costs, the Company issued a total of 51,075 shares in conjunction with these transactions.

Dividends

On February 28, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share. Pursuant to such declaration, the Company made dividend payments totaling $3.0 million on March 28, 2022 to stockholders of record as of March 14, 2022.

Share Repurchases

In August 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in the share repurchase program to $60.0 million from $33.3 million and extended the expiration of the program to December 31, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased and retired 687,740 shares of its common stock in open-market purchases, at an average price of $29.08 per share, for a total cost of $20.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining buyback authorization under the Company’s $60.0 million stock repurchase program expiring in December 2023 was $40.0 million. No shares were acquired under repurchase programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

In connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock units and exercise of stock options, the Company repurchased 223,926 and 308,405 shares of common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, at an average cost of $30.22 and $26.78, respectively, per share (based on the market prices on the dates of vesting) from employees and certain members of management to cover withholding taxes and cost of options exercised. Similarly, the Company repurchased 5,090 and 56,065 shares of common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, at an average cost of $18.62 and $20.06, respectively, per share.

Rights Agreement

On May 8, 2022, the Company entered into a shareholder rights plan in the form of a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of May 8, 2022, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent. The Rights Agreement was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. In connection with the Rights Agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, no par value, of the Company. The dividend was payable on May 19, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on such date. While the Rights Agreement was effective immediately, the Rights become exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership, as defined in the Rights Agreement, of 17.5% or more of the Company’s common stock in a transaction not approved by the Company's Board of Directors. In that situation, each holder of a Right (other than the acquiring person or group) will have the right to purchase, upon payment of the then-current exercise price, a number of shares of Company common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price of the Right. In addition, at any time after a person or group acquires 17.5% or more of the Company’s common stock (unless such person or group acquires 50% or more), the Company’s Board of Directors may exchange one share of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding Right (other than Rights owned by such person or group, which would have become null and void). The Rights Agreement will expire on May 7, 2023. The Company’s Board of Directors may consider an earlier termination of the Rights Agreement if market and other conditions warrant.

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Rights Agreement to enable all stockholders of the Company to realize the long-term value of their investment in the Company. The Rights Agreement is not intended to prevent an acquisition of the Company on terms that the Board considers favorable to, and in the best interests of, all stockholders. Rather, the Rights Agreement aims to reduce the likelihood that any person or group gains control of the Company through open market accumulation, or other tactics potentially disadvantaging the interests of all stockholders, without paying all stockholders an appropriate control premium or providing the Company’s Board of Directors sufficient time to make informed decisions in the best interest of all stockholders.

The majority of the Company's contracts for pool revenues, time and bareboat charter revenues, and voyage charter revenues are accounted for as lease revenue under ASC 842. The Company's contracts with pools are short term which are cancellable with up to 90 days' notice. As of September 30, 2022, the Company is a party to time charter out contracts with customers on one MR, one LR2, one Suezmax, and one VLCC with expiry dates ranging from March 2023 to August 2024. The Company's contracts with customers for voyage charters are short term and vary in length based upon the duration of each voyage. Lease revenue for non-variable lease payments is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis and lease revenue for variable lease payments (e.g., demurrage) is recognized in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

Lightering services provided by the Company's Crude Tanker Lightering Business, and voyage charter contracts that do not meet the definition of a lease are accounted for as service revenues under ASC 606. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of or consumes promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services.

Opening balance as of January 1, 2022	$	2,306		225	$	—
Closing balance as of September 30, 2022		3,170		5,302		—

We receive payments from customers based on the schedule established in our contracts. Contract assets relate to our conditional right to consideration for our completed performance obligations under contracts and decrease when the right to consideration becomes unconditional or payments are received. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under contracts and are recognized when performance under the respective contract has been completed. Deferred revenues allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations will be recognized over time as the services are performed.

Performance Obligations

All of the Company’s performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to customers over time. The expected duration of services is less than one year. Adjustments to revenue primarily relate to changes in estimates of performance obligations related to voyage charters. Adjustments in revenues from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods recognized were nil during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

As of September 30, 2022, there were no unamortized deferred costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract.

1. Charters-in of vessel assets:

As of September 30, 2022, INSW had commitments to charter in two Aframaxes and two LR1s. All of the charters-in, of which the two Aframaxes are bareboat charters with expiry dates ranging from December 2023 to March 2024 and the two LR1s are time charters with expiring dates ranging from March 2023 to April 2023, are accounted for as operating leases. The Company’s bareboat charters contain purchase options. The Company determined on the lease commencement dates that the purchase options were not reasonably certain of being exercised. As of September 30, 2022, events have not occurred that would require a reassessment of such determinations.

Payments of lease liabilities and related number of operating days under these operating leases as of September 30, 2022 are as follows:

Bareboat Charters-in:


(Dollars in thousands)	Amount		Operating Days
2022	$	1,582	184

2. Office and other space:

The Company has operating leases for offices and lightering workboat dock space. These leases have expiry dates ranging from July 2023 to May 2033. The lease for the workboat dock space contains renewal options executable by the Company for periods through December 2027. We have determined that the options through December 2024 are reasonably certain to be executed by the Company, and accordingly the options are included in the lease liability and right of use asset calculations for such lease.

Payments of lease liabilities for office and other space as of September 30, 2022 are as follows:

The future minimum revenues, before reduction for brokerage commissions, expected to be received on non-cancelable time charters for one MR, one LR2, one Suezmax and one VLCC and the related revenue days as of September 30, 2022 are as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)	Amount		Revenue Days
2022	$	9,940	332
2023		22,055	809
2024		7,280	224
Future minimum revenues	$	39,275	1,365

Future minimum revenues do not include the Company’s share of time charters entered into by the pools in which it participates. Revenues from a time charter are not generally received when a vessel is off-hire, including time required for normal periodic maintenance of the vessel. In arriving at the minimum future charter revenues, an estimated time off-hire to perform periodic maintenance on each vessel has been deducted, although there is no assurance that such estimate will be reflective of the actual off-hire in the future.

Note 16 — Contingencies:

INSW’s policy for recording legal costs related to contingencies is to expense such legal costs as incurred.

Multi-Employer Plans

The Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”) is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan covering British crew members that served as officers on board INSW’s vessels (as well as vessels of other owners). The trustees of the plan have indicated that, under the terms of the High Court ruling in 2005, which established the liability of past employers to fund the deficit on the Post 1978 section of MNOPF, calls for further contributions may be required if additional actuarial deficits arise or if other employers liable for contributions are not able to pay their share in the future. As the amount of any such assessment cannot be reasonably estimated, no reserves have been recorded for this contingency in INSW’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022. Assuming that the preliminary results of the deficit valuation as of June 30, 2021 are confirmed during 2022, showing that no deficit contributions would be required, the next deficit valuation will be as of March 31, 2024.

The Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Fund (“MNRPF”) is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan covering British crew members that served as ratings (seamen) on board INSW’s vessels (as well as vessels of other owners) more than 20 years ago. Participating employers include current employers, historic employers that have made voluntary contributions, and historic employers such as INSW that have made no deficit contributions. Calls for contributions may be required if additional actuarial deficits arise or if other employers liable for contributions are unable to pay their share in the future. As the amount of any such assessment cannot be reasonably estimated, no reserves have been recorded in INSW’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022. The next deficit valuation will be as of March 31, 2023.

Spin-Off Related Agreements

On November 30, 2016, INSW was spun off from OSG as a separate publicly traded company. In connection with the spin-off, INSW and OSG entered into several agreements, including a separation and distribution agreement, an employee matters agreement and a transition services agreement. While most of the obligations under those agreements were subsequently fulfilled, certain provisions (including in particular mutual indemnification provisions under the separation and distribution agreement and the employee matters agreement) continue in force.

Legal Proceedings Arising in the Ordinary Course of Business

The Company is a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to various suits in the ordinary course of business for monetary relief arising principally from personal injuries, wrongful death, collision or other casualty and to claims arising under charter parties and other

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

(UNAUDITED)

contract disputes. A substantial majority of such personal injury, wrongful death, collision or other casualty claims against the Company are covered by insurance (subject to deductibles not material in amount). Each of the claims involves an amount which, in the opinion of management, should not be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

General:

We are a provider of ocean transportation services for crude oil and refined petroleum products. We operate our fleet of VLCC, Suezmax, and Aframax crude tankers and LR1, LR2, and MR product carriers in the International Flag market. Our business includes two reportable segments: Crude Tankers and Product Carriers. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we derived 68% and 67%, respectively, of our TCE revenues from our Product Carriers segment compared with 52% and 37% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Revenues from our Crude Tankers segment constituted the balance of our TCE revenues in the 2022 and 2021 periods.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s operating fleet consisted of 75 wholly-owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in and time-chartered-in vessels aggregating 8.2 million deadweight tons (“dwt”). In addition to our operating fleet of 75 vessels, three dual-fuel LNG-powered VLCC newbuilds are scheduled for delivery to the Company between the first and second quarters of 2023, bringing the total operating and newbuild fleet to 78 vessels.

The Company’s revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by the Company and the trades in which those vessels operate. Rates for the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products from which the Company earns a substantial majority of its revenues are determined by market forces such as the supply and demand for oil, the distance that cargoes must be transported, and the number of vessels expected to be available at the time such cargoes need to be transported. The demand for oil shipments is significantly affected by the state of the global economy, levels of U.S. domestic and international production and OPEC exports. The number of vessels is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally through storage, recycling or conversions. The Company’s revenues are also affected by its vessel employment strategy, which seeks to achieve the optimal mix of spot (voyage charter) and long-term (time or bareboat charter) charters. Because shipping revenues and voyage expenses are significantly affected by the mix between voyage charters and time charters, the Company measures the performance of its fleet of vessels based on TCE revenues. Management makes economic decisions based on anticipated TCE rates and evaluates financial performance based on TCE rates achieved. In order to take advantage of market conditions and optimize economic performance, management employs all of

the Company’s LR1 product carriers, which currently operate in the Panamax International pool, in the transportation of crude oil cargoes. Our revenues are derived predominantly from spot market voyage charters and our vessels are predominantly employed in the spot market via market-leading commercial pools. We derived approximately 96% of our total TCE revenues in the spot market for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared with 80% and 76% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition as of September 30, 2022 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. You should consider the foregoing when reviewing the condensed consolidated financial statements and this discussion and analysis. You should read this section together with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes industry data and forecasts that we have prepared based, in part, on information obtained from industry publications and surveys. Third-party industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. In addition,

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

certain statements regarding our market position in this report are based on information derived from internal market studies and research reports. Unless we state otherwise, statements about the Company’s relative competitive position in this report are based on our management’s beliefs, internal studies and management’s knowledge of industry trends.

Operations and Oil Tanker Markets:

The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) estimates global oil consumption for the third quarter of 2022 at 100.0 million barrels per day (“b/d”), up 1.2% from the same quarter in 2021. The estimate for global oil consumption in 2023 is 101.3 million b/d, an increase of 1.7% over 2022’s estimated 99.6 million b/d. OECD demand in 2023 is estimated to increase by 0.2% to 46.4 million b/d, while non-OECD demand is estimated to increase by 2.4% to 54.8 million b/d.

Global oil production in the third quarter of 2022 was 100.7 million b/d, an increase of 4.6% from the third quarter of 2021. OPEC crude oil production averaged 29.4 million b/d in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 0.8 million b/d from the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of 2.5 million b/d from the third quarter of 2021. Non-OPEC production increased by 1.6 million b/d to 65.9 million b/d in the third quarter of 2022 compared with the third quarter of 2021. Oil production in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2022 increased by 1.1% to 11.8 million b/d compared to the second quarter of 2022 and increased by 4.0% from the third quarter of 2021.

U.S. refinery throughput increased by 0.8 million b/d to 16.9 million b/d in the third quarter of 2022 compared with the second quarter of 2022. U.S. crude oil imports in the third quarter of 2022 increased by 0.2 million b/d to 6.6 million b/d compared with the third quarter of 2021, with imports from non-OPEC countries remaining flat and imports from OPEC countries increasing by 0.2 million b/d.

After continuing pandemic-related lockdowns, and refinery maintenance, China’s crude oil imports rebounded to 10.2 million b/d in September 2022, up 0.7 million b/d from August 2022, and the highest level since May 2022.

As a result of continued rising oil demand outpacing production of crude oil and refined products and the resulting increases in the prices of crude oil, global inventories continued to be drawn down during the third quarter of 2022 to levels that are significantly below the average over the last five years. In the OECD, total crude stocks have remained steady but product stocks have declined by approximately 110 million barrels in the 12 months ending August 2022.

During the third quarter of 2022, the tanker fleet of vessels over 10,000 dwt increased, net of vessels recycled, by 5.5 million dwt. The crude fleet increased by 5.0 million dwt, with VLCCs growing by 2.1 million dwt, Suezmaxes by 1.7 million dwt, and Aframaxes by 1.2 million dwt. The product carrier fleet increased by 0.5 million dwt. Year-over-year, the size of the tanker fleet increased by 17.5 million dwt with the VLCCs, Suezmaxes, Aframaxes and MRs increasing by 9.5 million dwt, 4.1 million dwt, 2.0 million dwt and 2.3 million dwt, respectively. The LR1/Panamax fleet declined by 0.5 million dwt.

During the third quarter of 2022, the tanker orderbook declined by 4.7 million dwt overall compared with the second quarter of 2022. The crude tanker orderbook decreased by 4.5 million dwt, with decreases in the VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax sectors of 1.8 million dwt, 1.9 million dwt and 0.8 million dwt respectively. The product carrier orderbook decreased by 0.2 million dwt, with LR1s declining by 0.2 million dwt and MRs remaining flat. Year-over-year, the total tanker orderbook decreased by 20.8 million dwt, with all sectors seeing declines.

All segments enjoyed better markets during the third quarter compared with the second quarter of 2022. Continued disruptions to global crude and product flows resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine had positive impacts on rates for all of our segments during the third quarter of 2022 due to the continued trade flow inefficiencies in the market. (See Item 1A, Risk Factors in our March 31, 2022 Form 10-Q - The war between Russia and Ukraine could adversely affect INSW’s business). The recently announced OPEC+ production cut of 2.0 million b/d from quotas could have a negative impact on tanker earnings going forward. However, some market participants anticipate that the actual production cut will only be around 1.3 million b/d, and the impacts of this cut could also be tempered by increased production in the West.

The pandemic involving the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has adversely affected the Company’s business, operations and financial results, and will likely continue to do so.

Update on Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies:

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Company to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. For a description of all of the Company’s material accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 3, “Significant Accounting Policies,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for any changes or updates to the Company’s critical accounting policies for the current period.

Results from Vessel Operations:

During the third quarter of 2022, results from vessel operations increased by $191.2 million to income of $128.4 million from a loss of $62.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. Such increase resulted principally from a $161.6 million period-over-period increase in TCE revenues and $47.1 million in merger and integration related costs incurred in the third quarter of 2021 related to the Company’s Merger with Diamond S. Such items were partially offset by $9.1 million in gain on the disposal of vessels recorded in the prior year’s quarter.

The increase in TCE revenues in the third quarter of 2022 of $161.6 million, or 221%, to $234.5 million from $73.0 million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year reflects a net aggregate $156.9 million rates-based increase resulting from higher average daily rates earned across all of INSW’s various fleet sectors.

During the first nine months of 2022, results from vessel operations increased by $302.2 million to income of $210.2 million from a loss of $92.1 million in the first nine months of 2021. Such increase resulted principally from a $355.2 million period-over-period increase in TCE revenues and the 2021 merger and integration related costs described above, offset by increased vessel expenses and depreciation and amortization, which are reflective of the Company’s larger post-Merger fleet.

The increase in TCE revenues in the first nine months of 2022 of $355.2 million, or 218%, to $518.1 million from $162.9 million in the corresponding period of the prior year reflects a net aggregate $273.7 million rates-based increase resulting from higher average daily rates earned across all of INSW’s fleet sectors. Significant days-based increases in the Suezmax and MR fleets, which reflects the growth in the vessel count in these fleets that resulted from the Merger, also contributed a total of $75.5 million to the increase in TCE revenues.

See Note 5, “Business and Segment Reporting,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s segments, including equity in income of affiliated companies and reconciliations of (i) time charter equivalent revenues to shipping revenues and (ii) adjusted income/(loss) from vessel operations for the segments to income/(loss) before income taxes, as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(1)	During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Suezmaxes acquired by the Company through the Merger were employed on transitional voyages in the spot market prior to delivering to Penfield Maritime’s Suezmax Pool. These transitional voyages are excluded from the tables above.

During the third quarter of 2022, TCE revenues for the Crude Tankers segment increased by $40.4 million, or 116%, to $75.2 million from $34.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. Such increase principally resulted from (i) an aggregate rates-based increase in the Suezmax, VLCC and Aframax fleets of $42.5 million due to higher average daily blended rates in these sectors. Such increase was partially offset by (ii) a $4.3 million days-based decrease in the Panamax fleet driven by the sale of four 2002-built Panamaxes and one 2003-built Panamax between August and December 2021 and the Company taking advantage of the strong demand for steel to recycle its two remaining Panamaxes in April 2022.

Vessel expenses increased by $0.3 million to $24.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $24.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. Such increase was driven by larger drydock deviation and average daily crewing costs, and the timing and cost of stores and spares, offset substantially by the impact of the sales in the Panamax fleet described above. Charter hire expenses decreased by $0.4 million to $3.7 million from $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 due to lower charter hire expense spend in our Crude Tankers Lightering

business. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.2 million to $15.8 million in the current quarter from $16.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Such decrease resulted principally from the impacts of the Panamax sales noted above, offset to a large degree by the impacts of drydockings and ballast water treatment system and scrubber installations performed during 2021 and 2022. The scrubber installation on one of the Company’s 2012-built Suezmaxes was completed in September 2022.

Excluding depreciation and amortization and general and administrative expenses, operating income for the Crude Tankers Lightering business was $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, with the increase principally attributable to performing 126 service support only lighterings during the three months ended September 30, 2022, which is an increase of 39 when compared to the 87 performed during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

During the first nine months of 2022, TCE revenues for the Crude Tankers segment increased by $69.3 million, or 68%, to $171.1 million from $101.8 million in the first nine months of 2021. Such increase principally resulted from (i) an aggregate rates-based increase in the Suezmax, Aframax, VLCC and Panamax fleets of $61.2 million due to higher average daily blended rates in these sectors and (ii) a $18.0 million days-based increase in the Suezmax fleet which reflected the Company’s acquisition of 13 Suezmaxes as a part of the Merger, two of which have been subsequently disposed of by the Company. These increases were partially offset by a $17.0 million days-based decrease in the Panamax fleet driven by the sale of all seven vessels in this fleet between August 2021 and April 2022 described above.

Vessel expenses increased by $7.2 million to $72.5 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $65.3 million in the first nine months of 2021. Such increase was driven by the vessels acquired in the Merger, partially offset by the impact of the vessel sales described above. Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.1 million to $46.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $42.0 million in the prior year’s comparable period. Such increase resulted principally from the net impact of the changes in the Suezmax and Panamax fleets noted above.

Excluding depreciation and amortization and general and administrative expenses, operating income for the Crude Tankers Lightering business was $8.1 million during the first nine months of 2022 compared to $3.6 million for the first nine months of 2021. Incremental lightering activity in the current year’s period drove the increase, as one full-service lightering and 310 service support only lighterings were performed in the current year’s period, as compared to 253 service support only lighterings in the prior year’s period.

(1)	During the 2022 and 2021 periods, each of the Company’s LR1s participated in the Panamax International Pool and transported crude oil cargoes exclusively.

(2)	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2021, MRs acquired by the Company through the Merger were employed on transitional voyages prior to delivering to pools. These transitional voyages are excluded from the tables above.

During the third quarter of 2022, TCE revenues for the Product Carriers segment increased by $121.2 million, or 317%, to $159.4 million from $38.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. The growth in TCE revenues was primarily as a result of substantial period-over-period increases in average daily blended rates earned by the MR and LR1 fleet sectors, which accounted for a rates-based increase of approximately $114.5 million. Also contributing to the increased TCE revenues were days-based increases. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company acquired 44 MRs. The Company subsequently sold seven of the MRs during the third quarter of 2021, one during March 2022, and one during the second quarter of 2022. The net effect of these transactions, and 305 fewer off-hire days

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

during the current period, were the primary drivers of a 501-day increase in MR revenue days during the current year’s quarter, which contributed a $4.6 million days-based increase in TCE revenues. Additionally, there was a $3.7 million days-based increase in the LR1 fleet, which reflected (i) the deliveries of two time chartered-in 2008-built LR1s between August and October 2021, and one time chartered-in 2009-built LR1 in February 2022, and (ii) the purchase of a 2011-built LR1 in February 2022, partially offset by (iii) the redelivery of a 2006-built LR1 to its owners at the expiry of its two year charter in August 2021. The Company also acquired six Handysize vessels in the Merger, and subsequently sold two in the fourth quarter of 2021, and the remaining four during the second quarter of 2022. These Handysizes contributed a total of $1.6 million in TCE revenues during the third quarter of 2021, and no TCE revenues during the third quarter of 2022.

Vessel expenses increased by $0.1 million to $33.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $33.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. Such increase reflects the impacts of the net increase in MR operating days and the purchase of the 2011-built LR1 described above, offset in large part by the Handysize sales noted above. Charter hire expenses increased by $2.5 million to $4.1 million in the current quarter from $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of the time chartered-in LR1s described above. Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.1 million to $11.9 million in the current quarter from $9.8 million in the prior year’s quarter. Such increase resulted primarily from the additions to the MR and LR1 fleets noted above, offset by the sales of the Handysize vessels.

During the first nine months of 2022, TCE revenues for the Product Carriers segment increased by $285.9 million, or 468%, to $346.9 million from $61.0 million in the first nine months of 2021. The net effect of the Merger and subsequent vessel sales discussed above, partially offset by 354 more off-hire days during the current period (primarily drydock related), were the primary drivers of a 6,348-day increase in MR revenue days during the current year’s period, which contributed a $57.6 million days-based increase in TCE revenues. Additionally, there was a $11.1 million days-based increase in the LR1 fleet, which reflected the transactions described above and 149 fewer off-hire days in the current period. The Handysize vessels that were acquired as part of the Merger and subsequently sold contributed a total of $6.4 million in TCE revenues during the first nine months of 2022, versus $1.6 million in the prior year’s period. Consistent with the quarter-over-quarter discussion above, the strong rate environment for Product Carriers in 2022 accounted for a rates-based increase in TCE revenues of approximately $212.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the equivalent 2021 period.

Vessel expenses increased by $58.9 million to $105.9 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $47.1 million in the first nine months of 2021. Such increase reflects additions to the fleet as a result of the Merger. Charter hire expenses increased by $5.9 million to $11.0 million in the current period from $5.1 million in the prior year’s period, primarily as a result of the time chartered-in LR1s described above. Depreciation and amortization increased by $18.2 million to $35.8 million in the current period from $17.6 million in the prior year’s period. Such increase resulted primarily from the net vessel additions noted above.

General and Administrative Expenses:

During the third quarter of 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.7 million to $11.8 million from $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. The primary drivers for such increase were comprised of (i) increased compensation and benefits costs, of which $2.1 million relates to increases in the estimated annual employee bonus accrual based upon the Company’s strong operating and financial performance thus far in 2022, and $0.4 million relates to non-cash stock compensation, (ii) $0.5 million of costs relating to shareholder activism-related matters, and (iii) increased travel and entertainment expenses of $0.4 million reflecting the impact of the lifting of COVID-19 related travel restrictions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.7 million to $32.9 million from $23.1 million for the same period in 2021. The primary drivers of the increase were comprised of (i) increased compensation and benefits costs of $5.2 million, of which $2.1 million relates to increases in the estimated annual employee bonus accrual based upon the Company’s strong operating and financial performance thus far in 2022, and $0.9 million relates to non-cash stock compensation, (ii) $2.0 million of costs relating to shareholder activism-related matters, financing and corporate projects that were ultimately not pursued to completion, and increased insurance costs, and (iii) increased travel and entertainment expenses of $0.8 million reflecting the impact of the lifting of COVID-19 related travel restrictions.

Equity in Income of Affiliated Companies:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, equity in income of affiliated companies decreased by $5.7 million and $16.1 million compared with the corresponding 2021 periods. These decreases were attributable to the sale of the Company’s interest in the FSO joint ventures on June 7, 2022. The Company recorded a loss on such sale of $9.5 million.

Interest Expense:

The components of interest expense are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)		2022		2021		2022		2021
Interest before items shown below	$	16,872	$	7,897	$	42,766	$	16,631
Interest cost on defined benefit pension obligation		109		95		351		287
Impact of interest rate hedge derivatives		(447)		2,821		220		8,239
Capitalized interest		(1,202)		(174)		(2,707)		(232)
Interest expense	$	15,332	$	10,639	$	40,630	$	24,925

Interest expense was $15.3 million and $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $40.6 million and $24.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These increases are attributable to higher average outstanding debt balances in the current year periods compared to the 2021 periods principally attributable to the debt that was assumed in connection with the Merger, the Macquarie Credit Facility and the refinancing of then existing debt between November 2021 and May 2022 with resulting higher principal amounts outstanding. In addition, higher average floating interest rates during the second and third quarters of 2022 compared with the corresponding periods of 2021 contributed to such increase. See Note 10, “Debt,” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Company’s debt facilities.

Taxes:

The Company qualifies for an exemption from U.S. federal income taxes under Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and U.S. Treasury Department regulations for the 2022 calendar year as less than 50 percent of the total value of the Company’s stock is held by one or more shareholders who own 5% or more of the Company’s stock for more than half of the days of 2022. There can be no assurance at this time that INSW will continue to qualify for the Section 883 exemption beyond calendar year 2022. Should the Company not qualify for the exemption in the future, INSW will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation of 4% of its U.S. source shipping income on a gross basis without the benefit of deductions. Shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the U.S. will be considered to be 50% derived from sources within the United States. Shipping income attributable to transportation that both begins and ends in the U.S. would be considered to be 100% derived from sources within the United States, but INSW does not and cannot engage in transportation that gives rise to such income.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

EBITDA represents net income/(loss) 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 are presented to provide investors with meaningful additional information that management uses to monitor ongoing operating results and evaluate trends over comparative periods. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations determined in accordance

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are:

●

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

●

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

●

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 by companies as a measure of operating results and performance, neither of those items as prepared by the Company 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), as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

Liquidity and Sources of Capital:

Our business is capital intensive. Our ability to successfully implement our strategy is dependent on the continued availability of capital on attractive terms. In addition, our ability to successfully operate our business to meet near-term and long-term debt repayment obligations is dependent on maintaining sufficient liquidity.

Liquidity

Working capital at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was positive $288.7 million and negative $10.1 million, respectively. Current assets are highly liquid, consisting principally of cash, interest-bearing deposits, short-term investments consisting of time deposits with original maturities of between 90 and 180 days, and receivables. Current liabilities include current installments of long-term debt of $167.0 million and $178.7 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company’s total cash increased by $76.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase reflects cash provided by operating activities of $106.2 million, proceeds from the sale of the Company’s 50% ownership interest in the FSO Joint Venture of $140.1, proceeds from disposal of vessels and other assets of $79.5 million, and proceeds from issuance of lease financing,

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

net of issuance and deferred financing costs, of $88.8 million. Such cash inflows were partially offset by $87.6 million in expenditures for vessels and other property including construction costs for three dual-fuel LNG-powered VLCCs, a net outflow of $106.6 million related to debt extinguishment, scheduled principal amortization for the Company’s secured debt facilities and lease financing arrangements and the refinancing of the $390 Million Credit Facility, $525 Million Credit Facility and $360 Million Credit Facility, and $25.0 million to redeem the aggregate principal outstanding of the 8.5% Senior Notes that were due in June 2023, $20.0 million in expenditures made under the Company’s stock repurchase program, $80.0 million of cash invested in the short-term investments described above and cash dividends of $14.8 million.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. We place our cash and cash equivalents in what we believe to be credit-worthy financial institutions. In addition, certain of our money market accounts invest in U.S. Treasury securities or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, floating rate and variable demand notes of U.S. and foreign corporations, commercial paper rated in the highest category by Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s, certificates of deposit and time deposits, asset-backed securities, and repurchase agreements.

As of September 30, 2022, we had total liquidity on a consolidated basis of $475.5 million comprised of $175.5 million of cash (including $1.1 million of restricted cash), $80.0 million of short-term investments and $220.0 million of undrawn revolver capacity. Restricted cash of $1.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, represents legally restricted cash relating to the Macquarie Credit Facility, which is collateralized by three LR1 product carriers.

As of September 30, 2022, we had total debt outstanding (net of original issue discount and deferred financing costs) of $1,067.5 million and net debt to total capitalization of 37.9%, compared with 46.2% at December 31, 2021.

Sources, Uses and Management of Capital

We have maintained a strong balance sheet, which has allowed us to take advantage of attractive strategic opportunities during the low end of the tanker cycle and we have maintained what we believe to be a prudent financial leverage for the current point in the tanker cycle.

In addition to future operating cash flows, our other future sources of funds are proceeds from issuances of equity securities, additional borrowings as permitted under our loan agreements and proceeds from the opportunistic sales of our vessels. Our current uses of funds are to fund working capital requirements, maintain the quality of our vessels, purchase vessels, pay newbuilding construction costs, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, repay or repurchase our outstanding loan facilities, pay a regular quarterly cash dividend, and from time-to-time, repurchase shares of our common stock.

The following is a summary of the significant capital allocation activities the Company executed during the first nine months of 2022 and sources of capital the Company has at its disposal for future use as well as the Company’s current commitments for future uses of capital:

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share. The regular quarterly dividend was subsequently doubled to $0.12 per share for the second and third quarters of 2022. Pursuant to such dividend declarations, the Company made dividend payments totaling $14.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock and a special dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock on November 7, 2022. Both dividends will be paid on December 22, 2022 to stockholders of record as of December 8, 2022.

Continuing our post-merger fleet optimization program, in January 2022, the Company entered into memoranda of agreements for the sale of a 2010-built MR for a sale price of $16.5 million and the purchase of a 2011-built LR1 for a purchase price of $19.5 million with the same counterparty. The LR1 was delivered into our niche commercial pool, Panamax International, which has historically outperformed the market. The Company closed both transactions during the first quarter of 2022, recognizing a gain of $4.5 million on the sale of the 2010-built MR and a net cash outflow of $3.0 million representing the difference in value between the two vessels. The LR1 vessel replaced the MR as collateral under the $525 Million Credit Facility with no further mandatory principal repayment required. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company also delivered a 2008-built MR, one 2002-built Panamax,

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

one 2004-built Panamax and four 2006-built Handysize product carriers to buyers. The aggregate net proceeds from the sale of these seven vessels after the prepayment of associated debt was approximately $54.0 million.

On April 25, 2022, the Company entered into a lease financing arrangement with Kaiyo Ltd. (“Kaiyo”) for the sale and leaseback of a 2010-built MR, which was a $390 Million Facility Collateral Vessel, for a net sale price of $15.2 million (the “Kaiyo Lease Financing”). The transaction generated net proceeds of $5.4 million, after prepaying $9.8 million of the $390 Million Facility Term Loan. Under the lease financing arrangement, the vessel is subject to an eight-year bareboat charter at a bareboat rate of $6,250 per day for the first four years, and $6,150 per day for the remaining four years, with purchase options exercisable commencing at the end of the fourth year and a $1.5 million purchase obligation at the end of the eight-year term.

On May 20, 2022, International Seaways Operating Corporation, the borrower, and certain of their subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement comprising $750 million of secured debt facilities (the “$750 Million Credit Facility”) with Nordea Bank Abp, New York Branch (“Nordea”), Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (“CA-CIB”), BNP Paribas, DNB Markets Inc. and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (PUBL) (or their respective affiliates), as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners; Danish Ship Finance A/S and ING Bank N.V., London Branch (or their respective affiliates), as mandated lead arrangers; and National Australia Bank Limited, as co-arranger. Nordea is acting as administrative agent, collateral agent and security trustee under the credit agreement, and CA-CIB is acting as sustainability coordinator. Capitalized terms used in this paragraph and elsewhere not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the credit agreement.

The $750 Million Credit Facility consists of (i) a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $530 million (the “$750 Million Facility Term Loan”) and (ii) a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $220 million (the “750 Million Facility Revolving Loan. The $750 Million Facility Term Loan contains an uncommitted accordion feature whereby, for a period of up to 24 months following the closing date, the amount of the loan thereunder may be increased up to an additional incremental $250 million (in increments of at least $10 million) for the acquisition of Additional Vessels, subject to certain conditions.

On May 24, 2022, the available amount of $530 million under the $750 Million Facility Term Loan was drawn in full, and $70 million of the $220 million available under the $750 Million Facility Revolving Loan was also drawn. Those proceeds, together with available cash, were used (i) to repay the $163 million outstanding principal balance under the $390 Million Credit Facility; (ii) to repay the $284 million outstanding principal balance under the $525 Million Credit Facility; (iii) to repay the $128 million outstanding principal balance under the $360 Million Credit Facility; and to pay certain expenses related to the refinancing, including certain structuring and arrangement fees, legal and administrative fees totaling $10.5 million.

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

The $70 million drawn under the $750 Million Facility Revolving Loan was repaid on June 15, 2022, using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the FSO Joint Venture.

On August 5, 2022, the Company redeemed the $25 million aggregate principal outstanding of the 8.5% Senior Notes due June 2023.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company has vessel construction commitments for three dual-fuel LNG-powered VLCCs. The Company also has contractual commitments for the purchase and installation of 19 ballast water treatment systems and the final outstanding installment payments due for the installation of a scrubber on one Suezmax and six ballast water treatment systems that have been installed as of September 30, 2022. The Company’s debt service commitments and aggregate purchase commitments for vessel construction and betterments as of September 30, 2022, are presented in the Aggregate Contractual Obligations Table below.

Outlook

We executed various liquidity enhancing initiatives during 2021 and 2022 that significantly diversified our financing sources and spread our debt maturities out between 2025 and 2031, putting the Company in a strong position to navigate through any period of weaker rates. Our balance sheet and diverse fleet, positions us to support our operations over the next twelve months as we continue to advance our disciplined capital allocation strategy and provides us with flexibility to continue pursuing potential strategic opportunities that may arise within the diverse sectors in which we operate.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Pursuant to an agreement between INSW and the trustees of the OSG Ship Management (UK) Ltd. Retirement Benefits Plan (the “Scheme”), INSW guarantees the obligations of INSW Ship Management UK Ltd., a subsidiary of INSW, to make payments to the Scheme.

Risk Management:

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which could impact its results of operations and financial condition. The Company manages this exposure to market risk through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. To manage its interest rate risk in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time-to-time, enters into interest rate swap, collar or cap agreements, in which it agrees to exchange various combinations of fixed and variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts or to receive payments if floating interest rates rise above a specified cap rate. The Company uses such derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage exposure to nonperformance on such instruments by the counterparties.

The Company uses interest rate swaps for the management of interest rate risk exposure associated with changes in SOFR interest rate payments due on its credit facilities.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ending September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. On July 16, 2021, the Company completed the Merger with Diamond S and in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we excluded Diamond S from our internal control over financial reporting. This exclusion was in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s general guidance that a recently acquired business may be omitted from the assessment scope for up to one year from the date of acquisition. The Company has extended its oversight and monitoring processes that support our internal control over financial reporting, as well as our disclosure controls and procedures, to the acquired operations of Diamond S and we will incorporate Diamond S into our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
