NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- International Seaways, Inc. (NYSE: INSW) (the “Company” or “INSW”), one of the largest tanker companies worldwide providing energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products, today reported results for the second quarter 2023.

HIGHLIGHTS & RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

  • Net income for the second quarter was approximately $154 million, or $3.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of approximately $69 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022. Cumulative net income over the last twelve months is approximately $658 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(A) for the second quarter was approximately $205 million.
  • Total liquidity was approximately $493 million as of June 30, 2023, including cash and short-term investments(B) of $236 million and $257 million of undrawn revolver capacity.
  • Returns to Shareholders:
    • Paid a cumulative $1.62 per share in regular and supplemental dividends in June 2023.
    • Repurchased and retired 366,483 shares for approximately $14 million, representing an average price of $38.03 per share.
    • Declared a combined dividend of $1.42 per share composed of a supplemental dividend of $1.30 per share in addition to regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share to be paid in September 2023.
    • Cumulative cash returns of $316 million paid over the last twelve months following the combined dividend in September 2023 represents 48% of net income.
    • Increased authorization on the current share buyback program from $26 million to $50 million.
  • Balance Sheet Enhancements:
    • Prepaid approximately $75 million of outstanding debt during the second quarter of 2023, which includes:
      • Approximately $46 million for two vessels under sale-leaseback financing arrangements, which were incurring an interest margin of 390 bps.
      • Approximately $29 million of the principal outstanding of the $750 Million Credit Facility, which unencumbered a modern Suezmax vessel.
    • As of July 3, 2023, the Company has 30 unencumbered vessels.
    • In connection with cash flows generated during the second quarter, the Company intends to evaluate further prepayments within its debt portfolio of approximately $50 million.
  • Fleet Optimization Program:
    • Contracted for two, scrubber-fitted, dual-fuel (LNG) ready, LR1 newbuildings for approximately $115 million in aggregate for delivery in late 2025. Upon delivery, the vessels are expected to enter into our jointly-owned, Panamax International Pool, that has historically outperformed the LR1 market.
    • Increased contracted revenues to $352 million by entering into a new time charter agreement on an Aframax for three years.
    • Took delivery of the third and final dual-fuel (LNG) VLCC. These vessels are employed on long-term time charters with an oil major and financed under sale and leaseback arrangements with a fixed interest rate of approximately 425 bps.

“We generated strong earnings for the fifth consecutive quarter, built on our track record of returning substantial capital to shareholders, and took steps to further enhance our balance sheet during the second quarter,” said Lois K. Zabrocky, International Seaways’ President and CEO. “With the combined dividend of $1.62 per share and $14 million in share repurchases in the second quarter, cumulative returns to shareholders represent over $190 million in the first half of the year. We are pleased to announce another combined dividend of $1.42 per share and increase to our share buyback authorization. We plan to continue executing our balanced capital allocation strategy to maximize long-term shareholder value.”

Ms. Zabrocky added, “With our diverse fleet of crude and product tankers, expanded scale, and substantial operating leverage, we continue to take advantage of the strong market, as evidenced by healthy third quarter bookings to-date. Our optimism is fueled by attractive supply and demand fundamentals, underpinned by trends in the global energy trade, as Russian oil displacement has resulted in increases in ton-mile demand and tanker utilization. Economic activity has remained strong, and oil demand forecasts signal a pickup in the second half of the year. These factors, combined with an historically low orderbook and an ageing global fleet, drive our expectation for strong tanker earnings for the foreseeable future.”

Jeff Pribor, the Company’s CFO stated, “During the second quarter, we drew on all aspects of our balanced approach to capital allocation, which consisted of returns to shareholders, investment in the fleet, and debt repayment. We have now prepaid $172 million of debt this year, further lowering our breakeven levels to among the lowest in the industry. Looking toward the remainder of the year, we maintain considerable financial strength, evidenced by nearly $500 million in total liquidity and a net-loan-to-value ratio of 22% at quarter’s end. With a cash break even below $16,000 per day, Seaways is well-positioned to generate incremental free cash flow and continue returning significant capital to shareholders.”

SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $153.8 million, or $3.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $69.0 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. Net income for the quarter reflects the write-off of deferred finance costs aggregating $0.6 million. Net income excluding these items was $154.4 million, or $3.12 per diluted share. The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by a $102.8 million increase in TCE revenues(C) as a result of the effects of sanctions on Russian oil that disrupted trading patterns leading to longer voyages and higher tanker utilization coupled with higher oil demand of approximately three million barrels per day.

Shipping revenues for the second quarter were $292.2 million, compared to $188.2 million for the second quarter of 2022. Consolidated TCE revenues for the second quarter were $288.3 million, compared to $185.5 million for the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $205.1 million, compared to $111.7 million for the second quarter of 2022.

Crude Tankers

Shipping revenues for the Crude Tankers segment were $152.2 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $62.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were $148.9 million for the second quarter, compared to $59.5 million for the second quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to substantially higher spot rates as the average spot earnings of the VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax sectors were approximately $52,300, $61,300 and $53,500 per day, respectively, compared with approximately $16,400, $23,700 and $34,100 per day, respectively, during the second quarter of 2022.

Product Carriers

Shipping revenues for the Product Carriers segment were $140.0 million for the second quarter, compared to $126.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were $139.4 million for the second quarter, compared to $126.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. This increase is attributable to an increase in LR1 spot rates with average earnings of approximately $63,600 per day, in the second quarter of 2023 compared with approximately $25,900 per day, in the second quarter of 2022. This rate increase is offset by lower revenue days in the MR sector of approximately 142 days primarily reflecting the sale of three older MRs and slightly lower average spot earnings of approximately $28,300 per day in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $30,500 per day during the second quarter of 2022.

FIRST HALF 2023 RESULTS

Net income for the first half of 2023 was $326.4 million, or $6.59 per diluted share, compared to net income of $56.0 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, for the first half of 2022.

Shipping revenues for the first half of 2023 were $579.3 million, compared to $289.7 million for the first half of 2022. Consolidated TCE revenues for the first half of 2023 were $571.7 million, compared to $283.5 million for the first half of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2023 was $414.0 million, compared to $137.7 million for the first half of 2022.

Crude Tankers

TCE revenues for the Crude Tankers segment were $278.2 million for the first half of 2023, compared to $95.9 million for the first half of 2022. Shipping revenues for the Crude Tankers segment were $284.6 million for the first half of 2023, compared to $101.7 million for the first half of 2022.

Product Carriers

TCE revenues for the Product Carriers segment were $293.5 million for the first half of 2023 compared to $187.6 million for the first half of 2022. Shipping revenues for the Product Carriers segment were $294.8 million for the first half of 2023, compared to $188.0 million for the first half of 2022.

DELEVERAGING INITIATIVES

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company prepaid approximately $75 million of debt. The Company prepaid approximately $46 million in connection with exercising purchase options on two vessels under sale-leaseback agreements with an interest margin of 390 basis points. The vessels were delivered on July 3, 2023, which created a prepaid asset of $46 million with a corresponding current liability as of the balance sheet date. The Company also prepaid approximately $29 million on the $750 Million Credit Facility and obtained the release of one 2017-built Suezmax vessel from the collateral package.

For the seven months of 2023, the Company has extinguished approximately $172 million of debt. In addition to the aforementioned prepayments, the Company amended the $750 Million Facility, which included a prepayment of $97 million on the term loan, an increase in the capacity of the revolving credit facility by $40 million and a release of 22 vessels from the collateral package. As of July 3, 2023, the Company has 30 unencumbered vessels.

FLEET OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM

The Company entered into contracts to build two, scrubber-fitted, dual-fuel (LNG) ready, LR1 vessels in Korea with K Shipbuilding Co, Ltd. The vessels are expected to be delivered in the second half of 2025 at a contracted price of approximately $115 million in aggregate. Upon delivery, these vessels are expected to deliver into our niche, Panamax International Pool, which has consistently outperformed the market.

The last of three dual-fuel VLCCs in the Company’s newbuilding program was delivered in May 2023. The first and second dual-fuel VLCC’s delivered in March and April, respectively. The vessels were ordered for an aggregate contract price of $288 million, which are financed under sale leaseback arrangements. The vessels have commenced long-term time charters with an oil major for the next seven years at a base rate of $31,000 per day plus a profit share component. For the second quarter of 2023, the time charter equivalent rate earned for these three VLCCs, including the profit share component, was approximately $43,000 per day.

In the second quarter, the Company entered into a time charter agreement for three years on a 2017-built Aframax that commenced in late July 2023. During 2023, the Company has entered into five time charter agreements: the aforementioned Aframax, two 2008-built MRs, one 2011-built MR and one 2012-built Suezmax. The charters have durations of two to three years and have increased contracted future revenues to approximately $352 million remaining in time charter agreements from July 1, 2023 through charter expiry, excluding any applicable profit share.

In December 2022, the Company exercised its purchase options on two 2009-built Aframax vessels under sale leaseback arrangement, which were accounted for as operating leases prior to declaration of the options. The aggregate purchase price, net of prepaid charter hire of both vessels was approximately $41 million, representing a discount of approximately 45% to the market value of these vessels. One vessel was delivered in March 2023 while the other was delivered in April 2023.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold a 2008-built MR, which generated approximately $10 million in net proceeds after debt repayment.

RETURNING CASH TO SHAREHOLDERS

In June 2023, the Company paid a combined dividend of $1.62 per share of common stock, composed of a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock and a supplemental dividend of $1.50 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company has paid combined dividends of approximately $3.62 per share.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock and a supplemental dividend of $1.30 per share of common stock on August 8, 2023. Both dividends will be paid on September 27, 2023, to shareholders with a record date at the close of business on September 13, 2023.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased and retired 366,483 shares of its common stock in open market purchases, at an average price of $38.03 at an aggregate cost of approximately $14 million.

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase of the share repurchase program to $50 million from the remaining $26 million. The Company’s current share repurchase program expires at the end of 2023.

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) 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

(C) 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:
