Overseas Shipholding Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 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 fourth
quarter and full year 2018.

Highlights

  • Net loss for the fourth quarter was $5.2 million, or $(0.05) per
    diluted share, compared with net income of $53.6 million, or $0.61 per
    diluted share for the fourth quarter 2017.
  • Net income for the full year 2018 was $13.5 million, or $0.15 per
    diluted share, compared with $56.0 million, or $0.64 per diluted share
    for the full year 2017.
  • Shipping revenues for the fourth quarter and full year 2018 were $89.2
    million and $366.2 million, down 4% and 6%, respectively, compared
    with the same periods in 2017. Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A),
    a non-GAAP measure, for the fourth quarter and full year 2018 were
    $79.9 million and $326.7 million, down 4% and 10%, respectively,
    compared with the same periods in 2017.
  • Fourth quarter and full year 2018 Adjusted EBITDA(B), a
    non-GAAP measure, was $23.1 million and $87.0 million, down 7% and
    27%, respectively, from $24.8 million and $118.4 million in the same
    periods in 2017.
  • Total cash(C) was $80.6 million as of December 31, 2018.
  • During the quarter we refinanced our $380 million term loan due August
    2019, with a $325 million term loan due December 2023, a $27.5 million
    term loan due November 2026 and $27.6 million from cash on hand. This
    lengthened the maturity of our long-term debt.
  • We also extended the term on five of our bareboat charters to December
    2022 and the remaining four vessels until December 2020.
  • In January 2019, we entered into a 10-year bareboat charter party
    agreement for a U.S. flagged product tanker.

Mr. Sam Norton, President and CEO, stated, “During 2018, we took steps
to reduce debt, gain cost efficiencies, and retain capacity available to
capture value from an improving rate environment, positioning the
Company well to benefit from the inherent operating leverage of its
business model. The fourth quarter saw continued progress in the
developing recovery story for OSG’s core Jones Act businesses. Further
time charter contracts for our conventional tankers were obtained at
rates above those previously entered into, combining to give the Company
fixed time charter cover for 75% of available vessel days for 2019 at
the beginning of the year. We are as convinced as ever that improving
fundamentals will support a continuing recovery, and we expect to
benefit from that recovery as our fleet of conventional tankers is
re-chartered beginning in late 2019.”

Mr. Norton added, “Success in refinancing our term debt and in extending
the nine leases on vessels chartered-in from American Shipping Company
removed considerable uncertainty and stabilized the principal elements
of our balance sheet for the foreseeable future, and provided us with
the ability to pursue long-term employment opportunities with customers
who are increasingly aware of a supply constrained market. Commitments
to invest in new barges, new tankers, and the long-term lease of an
existing Jones Act Tanker provide tangible evidence of our confidence in
our core markets and in our commitment to sustaining a leading position
in the markets that we serve.”

measures are included in the financial tables attached to this
press release starting on Page 8.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Results

Shipping revenues were $89.2 million for the quarter, down 4% compared
with the fourth quarter of 2017. TCE revenues for the fourth quarter of
2018 were $79.9 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 4%, compared
with the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to lower average daily
rates earned, which accounted for a $6.8 million decrease in TCE
revenues and a 102-day decrease in revenue days for its fleet, excluding
its modern lightering ATBs. This decrease is offset by an increase in
TCE revenues of $4.0 million for the modern lightering ATBs in the
fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. We also
traded two fewer vessels in the fourth quarter 2018 compared to fourth
quarter 2017.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $7.4 million,
compared to operating income of $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of
2017.

Net loss for the fourth quarter was $5.2 million, or $(0.05) per diluted
share, compared with net income of $53.6 million, or $0.61 per diluted
share, for the fourth quarter 2017. The decrease reflects the income tax
benefit recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 as a result of the
remeasurement of the net deferred tax liability based on the newly
enacted federal corporate statutory rate of 21%.

Adjusted EBITDA was $23.1 million for the quarter, a decrease of $1.7
million compared with the fourth quarter of 2017, driven primarily by
the decline in TCE revenues.

Full Year 2018 Results

Shipping revenues were $366.2 million for the full year 2018, down 6%
compared with the full year 2017. TCE revenues for the full year 2018
were $326.7 million, a decrease of $34.3 million, or 10%, compared with
the full year 2017. Several factors contributed to these decreases: (a)
74-day increase in scheduled drydocking, which is an out-of-service
period used to perform required major maintenance to continue trading
and maximize a vessel’s useful life, (b) 92-day increase in unplanned
repair days, including one vessel that was hit by a third-party ship,
and (c) two fewer vessels in operation for most of 2018 compared to 2017.

Operating income for the full year 2018 was $27.4 million, compared to
operating income of $37.7 million for the full year 2017.

Net income for the full year 2018 was $13.5 million, or $0.15 per
diluted share, compared with net income of $56.0 million, or $0.64 per
diluted share, for the full year 2017. The decrease reflected the income
tax benefit recorded in 2017 as a result of the remeasurement of the net
deferred tax liability based on the newly enacted federal corporate
statutory rate of 21%.

Adjusted EBITDA was $87.0 million for the full year 2018, a decrease of
$31.4 million compared with the full year 2017, driven primarily by the
decline in TCE revenues.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of
Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
(ASC 715), which requires that an employer classify and report the
service cost component in the same line item or items in the statement
of operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered
by the pertinent employees during the period and disclose by line item
in the statement of operations the amount of net benefit cost that is
included in the statement of operations. 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 periods
have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation, which
resulted in a decrease of $15,569 in net cash provided by investing
activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 and an increase of
$5,261 in net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2016, 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. 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 follow:

Shipping revenues $ 89,230 $ 92,815 $ 366,163 $ 390,426

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:

(877 ) 13,200 104,532
Income/(loss) from vessel operations $ 23,886 $ 33,948 $ (34,892 )

(B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net (loss)/income from continuing operations 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, (gain)/loss on disposal of vessels
and other property, including impairments, loss on repurchases and
extinguishment of debt, non-cash stock based compensation expense 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 (loss)/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/(loss) from
continuing operations as reflected in the consolidated statements of
operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Prior periods have been
adjusted to conform to current year presentation.
