Overseas Shipholding Group Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

TAMPA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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 second quarter of 2023.

  • Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $12.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Shipping revenues for the second quarter of 2023 were $106.6 million, a decrease of $11.4 million, or 9.6%, from the second quarter of 2022.
  • Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A), a non-GAAP measure, for the second quarter of 2023 were $100.1 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 3.0%, from the second quarter of 2022.
  • Second quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was $39.5 million, an increase of $8.0 million, or 25.4%, from the second quarter of 2022.
  • In April 2023, OSG’s three non-Jones Act MR tankers were accepted into the U.S. Tanker Security Program (“TSP”).
  • During the quarter, the Military Sealift Command (“MSC”) awarded one of our vessels, the Overseas Mykonos, a time charter contract to provide ongoing fuel transportation services to the MSC in support of our nation’s defense. The Overseas Mykonos will be transferred out of the TSP and delivered to the MSC in August 2023.
  • Total cash and investments(C) were $120.8 million as of June 30, 2023.
  • In June 2023, our Board of Directors authorized an increase of $10.0 million to our current stock repurchase program, raising the total value of the program to $20.0 million. We purchased 2.1 million shares for $8.0 million during the second quarter of 2023.

“Solid and satisfying best characterizes the second quarter results that OSG announced earlier this morning,” Sam Norton, OSG’s President and CEO, said. “Contributing to the favorable second quarter results were notably higher average TCE rates for our Jones Act MR tankers, a reflection of the tight market conditions that have been present for most of this year. Stable and historically consistent returns from our specialized assets continued to generate positive cashflow and provide sufficient liquidity to fund our previously announced share buy-back program which, during the quarter, saw over 2 million shares repurchased at an average price of $3.81 per share.”

Mr. Norton continued, “Also of note during the past quarter was MSC’s award of a long-term charter for the Overseas Mykonos. The contract calls for the vessel to be stationed in the Pacific in support of key Department of Defense operations and represents an important step in meeting OSG’s ambition to expand its US flag operations outside of coastwise trades. The Overseas Mykonos is expected to give delivery to the MSC in mid-August and to contribute more than $20 million in time charter equivalent earnings during the initial contract year.”

A, B, C Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release starting on Page 8.

Second Quarter 2023 Results

Shipping revenues were $106.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $11.4 million, or 9.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were $100.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 3.0%, from the second 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) a 14-day increase in drydock days; (c) one less Government of Israel voyage during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022; and (d) no MSC voyages during the second quarter of 2023 compared to one full MSC voyage and one partial MSC voyage that began during the second quarter of 2022 and overlapped into the third quarter, both of which were longer international voyages. The decreases were partially offset by an 82-day decrease in layup days. We had no vessels in layup during the second quarter of 2023. During the second quarter of 2022, we had two vessels in layup until May 2022 when they returned to service. Additionally, the decreases in revenues were partially offset by (a) an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet, (b) an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes, and (c) a 10-day decrease in repair days.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2023 was $20.3 million compared to operating income of $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2022. Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $12.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with a net income of $3.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. The increases in operating and net income were primarily a result of decreases in voyage, vessel and charter hire expenses of $17.9 million when compared to the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in voyage expenses was primarily due to decreases in fuel and port expenses, as our vessels performed fewer voyage charters during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second 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 $39.5 million for the 2023 second quarter, an increase of $8.0 million compared with the second quarter of 2022, driven primarily by the increases in operating and net income.

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:

(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.
