Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc., a leading provider of energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the third quarter 2022.

Shipping revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $123.1 million, an increase of $5.1 million, or 4.3%, from the second quarter of 2022. Compared to the third quarter of 2021, shipping revenues increased 31.0% from $94.0 million.

Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $13.2 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. Net loss was $16.0 million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021.

Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A), a non-GAAP measure, for the third quarter of 2022 were $115.1 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 11.4%, from the second quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were up 52.7% compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Third quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was $42.3 million, an increase of $10.8 million, or 34.4%, from the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA increased 247.6% from $12.2 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Total cash(C) was $73.7 million as of September 30, 2022.

During the quarter, the Company used cash on hand to purchase a $15.0 million U.S. Treasury Note for $14.8 million with a maturity date of August 15, 2024. The U.S. Treasury Note is classified as investment in security to be held to maturity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Sam Norton, President and CEO, offered the following comments on the quarterly results announced today: “Financial results achieved during the past quarter provide a welcome affirmation of our long-held belief in the viability of OSG’s business strategy, exceeding our expectations and signaling continued strength through the balance of the year and into 2023. Our niche businesses in particular delivered stellar results for the quarter, adding meaningfully to the continuing rebound seen in the time charter equivalent returns of our conventional tankers and ATBs. Adjusted EBITDA of $42.3 million generated $14 million of free cashflow for the period, clearly the best performance on that measure in many years.”

Mr. Norton added, “As previously announced, redelivery in December of three conventional tankers will reduce the number of vessels leased from American Shipping Company, releasing OSG from annual fixed payment obligations of approximately $27 million during 2023 and beyond. The effective deleveraging achieved through the decision not to extend options on these three vessels should, when taken together with positive free cash flow performance expected in the quarters ahead, provide OSG with enhanced flexibility to address existing and anticipated business opportunities.”

Third Quarter 2022 Results

Shipping revenues were $123.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $5.1 million, or 4.3%, from the second quarter of 2022. TCE revenues increased $11.8 million, or 11.4%, from the second quarter of 2022 to $115.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increases were primarily a result of (a) an 82-day decrease in layup days, as our two remaining vessels in layup returned to service in May 2022, (b) an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet and (c) a 10-day decrease in repair days. The increases were partially offset by (a) a 13-day increase in scheduled drydocking, (b) a decrease in Delaware Bay lightering volumes and (c) the timing of Government of Israel voyages.

Third quarter 2022 operating income was $22.4 million compared to the second quarter 2022 operating income of $12.6 million.

Quarterly adjusted EBITDA increased to $42.3 million during the third quarter of 2022, a $10.8 million increase from the second quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by the increased revenues for the quarter.

In comparison to the third quarter of 2021, shipping revenues were up 31.0% and TCE revenues increased $39.7 million or 52.7%. The increases primarily resulted from a 599-day decrease in layup days as we had no vessels in layup. During the third quarter of 2021, we had seven vessels in layup for most of the quarter with two of seven vessels coming out of layup in September 2021. Additionally, the increase in TCE revenues resulted from an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet and an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes. The increase was partially offset by a 54-day increase in scheduled drydocking.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2022 was $22.4 million compared to an operating loss of $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $13.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $16.0 million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was $42.3 million for the 2022 third quarter, an increase of $30.1 million compared with the third quarter of 2021, driven primarily by the increase in TCE revenues.
