Overseas Shipholding Group Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results

TAMPA, Fla.--()--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 second quarter 2018.

Highlights

  • Net income for the second quarter was $3.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2017.
  • Shipping revenues for the second quarter 2018 were $95.4 million, down 0.9% compared with the same period in 2017. Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A), a non-GAAP measure, for the second quarter 2018 were $86.0 million, down 5.6% compared with the second quarter 2017. These results reflect an active fleet of 22 vessels in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 24 vessels in the second quarter 2017.
  • Second quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was $23.3 million, down 21.1% from $29.6 million in the second quarter 2017.
  • Total cash(C) was $131.2 million as of June 30, 2018.
  • In July 2018, the Company signed binding contracts with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Company Ltd. for the construction of two 50,000 deadweight tons class product chemical tankers for anticipated delivery to the Company during the second half of 2019. Additionally, in July 2018, the Company signed a binding contract with Gunderson Marine LLC for the construction of one, approximately 204,000 BBL, oil and chemical tank barge for anticipated delivery to the Company during the first half of 2020.

Mr. Sam Norton, President and CEO, stated, “While seasonal softness in spot tanker rates has slowed the momentum of recent market gains, we remain confident that the mix of our revenue streams will continue to provide a solid foundation to capture the benefits of the continuing arc of improving fundamentals. Our niche businesses once again performed well and progress in securing more long-term charter contracts during recent months, coupled with resilience in our ATB earnings stream, gives cause to believe that our commercial chartering strategy is on the right track. Importantly, new contract signings for additions to our fleet position OSG well to reap economic rewards which are expected to materialize in the wake of new regulations coming into force over the next two years.”

Second Quarter 2018 Results

Shipping revenues were $95.4 million for the quarter, down 0.9% compared with the second quarter of 2017. TCE revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were $86.0 million, a decrease of $5.1 million, or 5.6%, compared with the second quarter of 2017. This decrease reflected the reduction of two vessels in operation in the second quarter of 2018 when compared to the 2017 second quarter.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2018 was $10.5 million, compared to operating income of $14.3 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Net income for the second quarter was $3.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA was $23.3 million for the second quarter, a decrease of $6.3 million compared with the second quarter of 2017, driven primarily by the decline in TCE revenues.

The other components of net benefit cost would be presented in the statement of operations separately from the service cost component and outside the subtotal of income from operations. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2018 and has applied the guidance retrospectively.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC 230), Restricted Cash, which requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017 and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2018. The prior period has been adjusted to conform to current period presentation, which resulted in a decrease of $9,909 in net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017, related to changes in restricted cash amounts.

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:

Shipping revenues $ 95,367   $ 96,225   $ 196,396   $ 204,341
 

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.

The following table sets forth the contribution of our vessels:

Operating income $ 10,529   $ 14,345   $ 24,100   $ 33,729
 

(B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income 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 do not represent, and should not be a substitute for, net 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 as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
