OSG - Overseas Shipholding Group Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE: OSG) (the “Company” or “OSG”), a leading provider of liquid bulk transportation services in the energy industry for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the third quarter of 2023.

• Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $17.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared with net income of $13.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022.
• Third quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA ^(A) , a non-GAAP measure, was $48.1 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 13.7%, from the third quarter of 2022.
• Shipping revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were $115.4 million, a decrease of $7.6, million, or 6.2%, from the third quarter of 2022.
• Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues ^(B) , a non-GAAP measure, for the third quarter of 2023 were $108.6 million, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 5.6%, from the third quarter of 2022.
• Total cash and investments ^(C) were $112.5 million as of September 30, 2023.
• During the third quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 4,580,921 shares for total consideration of $18.7 million.
• During the quarter, the Company also purchased 13,851,382 warrants which were exercisable for 2,631,763 shares for total consideration of $11.4 million.

Sam Norton, OSG's President and CEO, said. “We made progress on all of our key objectives since our report for the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased by more than 20% from the second quarter. We completed transactions to repurchase the equivalent of 7.2 million shares, returning nearly $30 million to our shareholders. We took steps to add additional earning assets to our fleet through an agreement to purchase the Alaskan Frontier , which we expect to be in operation within the next 12 months. And, after the quarter end, we prepaid $6.7 million of interest-bearing liabilities at a discount, which will see us book a gain of $911,000 during the fourth quarter.”

Mr. Norton added, “Cashflow from operations continues to meet or exceed our expectations, giving us continuing confidence that our business plan is working. As has been the case for most of this year, healthy refining margins and strong international tanker rates have supported better than expected performance from our TSP vessels and have boosted volumes lifted in our lightering operations. With three-year charter extensions obtained during the quarter for both the Overseas Boston and OSG 204/Endurance , 90% of 2024 available trading days for the Jones Act fleet are now fixed at rates that will generate TCE from fixed contracts in excess of $30 million per month through the end of 2024. Free cashflow above debt service and capital expenditures should thus be available to allow us to make further progress in meeting our key capital allocation goals.”

Third Quarter 2023 Results

Shipping revenues were $115.4 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $7.6 million, or 6.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were $108.6 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 5.6%, from the third quarter of 2022. The decreases primarily resulted from (a) fewer vessels in our fleet, as we redelivered three conventional tankers leased from American Shipping Company in December 2022, (b) an 8-day increase in drydock days, and (c) a decrease in Delaware Bay lightering volumes. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet and one full Government of Israel voyage and one partial Government of Israel voyage that began during the third quarter of 2023 and continued in the fourth quarter compared to two partial Government of Israel voyages in the third quarter of 2022.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $28.2 million compared to operating income of $22.4 million for the third quarter of 2022. Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $17.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared with net income of $13.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. The increases in operating and net income primarily reflected decreases in voyage, vessel and charter hire expenses of $13.1 million when compared to the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in voyage expenses was primarily due to a decrease in fuel expenses, as our vessels performed fewer voyage charters during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022. The decreases in vessel and charter hire expenses were primarily due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers leased from American Shipping Company in December 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was $48.1 million for the 2023 third quarter, an increase of $5.8 million compared with the third quarter of 2022, driven primarily by the increases in operating and net income.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current plans, estimates and projections, and are subject to change based on a number of factors. 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.

Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to current period presentation.

OSG has realigned some of our vessels in the analytical tables to reflect their current employment. The tables affected in the press release are the TCE Spot and Fixed Rate table and the Vessel Operating Contribution table. Prior year information has been revised to conform with the current presentation.

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. The Company changed the presentation of the table below to reflect the current business operations of the Company's vessels. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been updated to conform to current period presentation.

(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 and Investments
