Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $10.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021.
  • Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A), a non-GAAP measure, for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $114.1 million, an increase of $34.1 million, or 42.6%, from $80.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year TCE revenues for 2022 were $426.3 million, a $133.7 million increase from 2021.
  • Fourth quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was $43.6 million, an increase of $27.0 million, or 162.7%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 was $142.8 million, a $97.7 million increase from 2021.
  • Total cash and investments(C) were $93.5 million as of December 31, 2022.
  • In October 2022, the Company completed the share repurchase program initiated in June 2022. Subsequently, in November 2022, the Company repurchased five million shares of the Company’s common stock from Cyrus Capital, a major stockholder. Total available cash of $29.0 million was used for 10 million of shares repurchased.
  • In December 2022, the Company redelivered three conventional Jones Act tankers leased from American Shipping Company. In addition, in December 2022, the Company exercised its option to extend the terms of six chartered-in vessels for an additional three years, with terms now ending in December 2026.

Sam Norton, President and CEO, offered the following comments on the quarterly and full year results announced today: “Operational and financial performance during the final quarter of 2022 exceeded our expectations and allowed OSG to deliver full year results for both time charter equivalent earnings and adjusted EBITDA well above the guidance provided in early November. Strong contributions during the quarter from our lightering and non-Jones Act assets were instrumental in achieving this performance. We are particularly gratified by the full year adjusted EBITDA figure, which at $142.8 million reflected an over 200% improvement over 2021 adjusted EBITDA; this while completing a heavy drydock schedule during the year and returning three MR tankers upon expiry of their leases in early December. Year-end cash balances, including investments in treasury securities, came in squarely within the guidance range provided in November at $93.5 million.”

Mr. Norton added, “Improving market conditions have resulted in OSG achieving more stability in its financial profile and greater visibility of forward cashflows to an extent not seen for many years. All Jones Act assets are fixed under time charters or contracts of affreightment for the balance of 2023, and nearly 80% of 2024 available days are also fully covered at attractive rates. The business environment for OSG has shifted away from the defensive posture that has characterized much of the past three years. We can now look forward to evaluating real opportunities to extend and expand the cash generating capabilities of our unique franchise while continuing to consider means to utilize surplus cashflow to reduce leverage and drive improving share price performance.”

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.

Full Year 2022 Results

Shipping revenues were $466.8 million for 2022, up 30.0% compared with 2021. TCE revenues for 2022 were $426.3 million, an increase of $133.7 million, or 45.7%, compared with 2021. The increases were primarily a result of a 1,953-day decrease in layup days, as we had fewer vessels in layup during 2022 compared to 2021. Additionally, the increase in revenues resulted from an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet and seven Military Sealift Command voyages, which were longer international voyages, during 2022 compared to five such voyages during the same period in 2021. The increase was partially offset by (a) fewer vessels in our fleet, as we sold one MR tanker, the Overseas Gulf Coast, in June 2021 and returned three conventional tankers leased from American Shipping Company in early to mid-December 2022, (b) a 38-day increase in scheduled drydocking, and (c) a 15-day increase in repair days.

Operating income for 2022 was $63.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $29.1 million for 2021.

Net income for 2022 was $26.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $46.3 million, or $(0.51) per diluted share, for 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was $142.8 million for 2022, an increase of $97.7 million compared with 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Results

Shipping revenues were $121.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $26.3 million, or 27.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. TCE revenues were $114.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $34.1 million, or 42.6%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increases primarily resulted from a 430-day decrease in layup days, as we had no vessels in layup during the fourth quarter of 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we had five vessels in layup for most of the quarter, with only one of five vessels coming out of layup during the quarter. Additionally, the increases resulted from (a) an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet, (b) a 40-day decrease in drydock days, and (c) a 2-day decrease in repair days. The increases were partially offset by a decrease related to fewer vessels in our fleet, due to the return in early to mid-December 2022 of three conventional Jones Act tankers leased from American Shipping Company, only one of which was in layup during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $20.4 million compared to an operating loss of $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $10.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $3.7 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was $43.6 million for the 2022 fourth quarter, an increase of $27.0 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2021, driven primarily by the increase 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 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.
