OSG - Overseas Shipholding Group Reports First Quarter 2019 Results
Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE:OSG) (the “Company” or “OSG”) a provider of energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the first quarter 2019.
Highlights
- Net income for the first quarter 2019 was $3.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2018. The Company's 2019 first quarter net income of $3.2 million compares to a $5.2 million loss in the 2018 fourth quarter.
- Shipping revenues for the first quarter 2019 were $87.7 million, down 13.2% compared with the same period in 2018. Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A), a non-GAAP measure, for the first quarter 2019 were $82.8 million, down 6.8% compared with the first quarter 2018. First quarter 2019 TCE revenues exceeded fourth quarter 2018 by 3.6%.
- First quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was $23.6 million, down 15.5% from $28.0 million in the first quarter 2018. Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.2% from the fourth quarter 2018.
- Total cash(C) was $75.8 million as of March 31, 2019.
- In January 2019, we entered into a 10-year bareboat charter party agreement for a U.S. flagged product tanker and we exercised an option to construct a second approximately 204,000 BBL, oil and chemical tank barge for anticipated delivery to the Company during the second half of 2020.
Mr. Sam Norton, President and CEO, stated, “Our first quarter financial performance is evidence of the developing recovery of OSG’s earnings power, as improved charter terms for our conventional tanker fleet counterbalanced the retirement of aging tonnage as part of our ongoing fleet renewal efforts. Time charter contracts fixed during the second half of 2018, coupled with active interest in the few spot days available, led utilization rates for the combined conventional tanker and ATB fleet to exceed 95% of available operating days during the quarter. In line with tightening supply availability, we are seeing the benefits of both an improved rate environment and better utilization rates. In particular, conventional tanker TCE earnings have improved 5% from the 4th quarter of 2018 and more than 25% from their 3rd quarter levels. Meanwhile, our niche businesses continued to perform in-line with our expectations, providing a solid foundation of industrial business that underlies our growth and margin expansion initiatives.”
Mr. Norton added, “We are confident in the strong, tangible fundamentals underlying the Jones Act and U.S. Flag energy transportation markets in which we operate. We anticipate that the full effects of our high operating leverage will be more fully expressed in the latter part of 2019 and into 2020, alongside the additional earnings contribution we expect from our newly built ATBs and MR tankers delivering over the next 18 months. All in all, we remain extremely upbeat about the future and the promise of improving earnings in our core businesses.”
First Quarter 2019 Results
Shipping revenues were $87.7 million for the quarter, down 13.2% compared with the first quarter of 2018. TCE revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $82.8 million, a decrease of $6.0 million, or 6.8%, compared with the first quarter of 2018. This decrease reflected two fewer vessels in operation in the first quarter of 2019 when compared to the 2018 first quarter and a decrease in spot market charters as our fleet moved to long-term time charters.

Net income for the first quarter 2019 was $3.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA was $23.6 million for the first quarter, a decrease of $4.4 million compared with the first quarter of 2018, driven primarily by the decline in TCE revenues.

Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the following non-GAAP measures may provide certain investors with additional information that will better enable them to evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide supplemental information, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP.
(A) Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) Revenues
Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses TCE revenues, which represents shipping revenues less voyage expenses, as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time charter. Time charter equivalent revenues, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with shipping revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Reconciliation of TCE revenues of the segments to shipping revenues as reported in the consolidated statements of operations follow:

Vessel Operating Contribution
Vessel operating contribution, a non-GAAP measure, is TCE revenues minus vessel expenses and charter hire expenses.
Our “niche market activities,” which includes Delaware Bay lightering, MSP vessels and shuttle tankers, continue to provide a stable operating platform underlying our total US Flag operations. These vessels’ operations are insulated from the forces affecting the broader Jones Act market.

(B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net (loss)/income from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted to exclude amortization classified in charter hire expenses, interest expense classified in charter hire expenses, gain/(loss) on disposal of vessels and other property, including impairments, loss on repurchases and extinguishment of debt, non-cash stock based compensation expense and the impact of other items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be a substitute for, net (loss)/income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as a measure of operating results and performance, neither of them is necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income/(loss) from continuing operations as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Prior periods have been adjusted to conform to current year presentation.
