Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE: OSG) (the “Company” or “OSG”), a leading provider of energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the first quarter 2022.

• Shipping revenues for the first quarter 2022 were $104.0 million, an increase of $8.5 million from the fourth quarter 2021. Compared to the first quarter 2021, shipping revenues increased 28.0% from $81.3 million.
• Net loss for the first quarter 2022 was $509 thousand, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared with net loss of $3.7 million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2021. Net loss was $15.9 million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, for the first quarter 2021.
• Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues ^(A) , a non-GAAP measure, for the first quarter 2022 were $93.9 million, an increase of $13.9 million from fourth quarter 2021. TCE revenues were up 43.4% compared to first quarter 2021.
• First quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA ^(B) , a non-GAAP measure, was $25.4 million, an increase of $8.8 million from the fourth quarter 2021. Adjusted EBITDA increased 309.2% from $6.2 million in the first quarter 2021.

• During the quarter, we returned two vessels to service from layup. We expect the two remaining vessels in layup to return to service during the second quarter of 2022.

Sam Norton, President and CEO, offered the following comments on the quarterly results announced today: “Operating activities during the quarter generated positive free cash flow after debt service and capital expenditures, with the quarter-to-quarter change in cash balances attributable to changes in working capital. For the fourth consecutive quarter, OSG has achieved better sequential TCE and EBITDA performance, evidence of continuing progress made towards restoring our business to a normalized and financially sustainable state. These results give us renewed confidence that the condition of our balance sheet and the opportunities inherent in an improving market environment will allow us to realize the latent potential of our long-term business strategy.”

Mr. Norton added, “Our last two vessels in layup are slated to return to service before the end of June giving us a full fleet of vessels in service for the first time in nearly two years. We continue to anticipate further improvement in all important financial metrics and a gradual build in available cash balances over the next several quarters as higher utilization at stronger time charter rates is realized by substantially all of our vessels in operation.”

First Quarter 2022 Results

Shipping revenues were $104.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $8.5 million, or 8.9%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. TCE revenues increased $13.9 million, or 17.4%, from the fourth quarter to $93.9 million in the first quarter. The increases were primarily a result of (a) a 175-day decrease in layup days, as two vessels came out of layup in January 2022 and February 2022, respectively, (b) a 30-day decrease in scheduled drydocking and (c) five Military Sealift Command voyages, which were longer international voyages, during the first quarter of 2022 compared to one such voyage during the fourth quarter of 2021.

First quarter 2022 operating income was $7.7 million compared to the fourth quarter 2021 operating loss of $1.9 million.

Quarterly adjusted EBITDA increased to $25.4 million during the first quarter of 2022, an $8.8 million increase from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by the increased revenues for the quarter.

In comparison to the first quarter of 2021, shipping revenues were up 28.0%. TCE revenues for the first quarter of 2022 were $93.9 million, an increase of $28.4 million, or 43.4%, compared with the first quarter of 2021. The increase primarily resulted from a 369-day decrease in layup days, as we had fewer vessels in layup during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, we had two vessels in layup for the full quarter and two additional vessels that came out of layup in January 2022 and late February 2022. During the first quarter of 2021, we had seven vessels in layup. Additionally, the increase in revenues resulted from five Military Sealift Command voyages, which were longer international voyages, during the first quarter of 2022 compared to no such voyages during the same period in 2021 and an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes. The increase was partially offset by one less MR tanker in our fleet, Overseas Gulf Coast , which was sold during the second quarter of 2021. We continued to see an increase in demand during the first quarter of 2022 and as a result, we expect our two remaining vessels in layup to return to service during the second quarter of 2022.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2022 was $7.7 million compared to operating loss of $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. Net loss for the first quarter of 2022 was $509 thousand, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared with net loss of $15.9 million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, for the first quarter 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was $25.4 million for the 2022 first quarter, an increase of $19.2 million compared with the first quarter of 2021, driven primarily by the increase in TCE revenues.

COVID-19 has had, and will continue to have, a profound impact on our workforce and many other aspects of our business and industry. Investors should carefully consider the risk factors outlined in more detail in our filings with the SEC. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements except as may be required by applicable law.

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

(A) Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) Revenues

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

Vessel Operating Contribution

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

(B) 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 to exclude amortization classified in charter hire expenses, interest expense classified in charter hire expenses, loss/(gain) on disposal of vessels and other property, including impairments, net, non-cash stock based compensation expense and loss on repurchases and extinguishment of debt 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 income/(loss) 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 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 measures used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income/(loss) as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

(C) Total Cash
