Overseas Shipholding Group Reports First Quarter 2021 Results
Overseas Shipholding Group (NYSE: OSG) reported a net loss of $15.9 million or $(0.18) per diluted share for Q1 2021, a stark contrast to the net income of $25.1 million for Q1 2020. This decline was exacerbated by a $19.2 million gain in the previous year from acquiring Alaska Tanker Company. Shipping revenues fell 19.4% to $81.3 million, while TCE revenues decreased by 32.5% to $65.5 million. The company anticipates a rebound in marine transportation demand as COVID-19 restrictions ease and vaccination progresses. Total cash as of March 31, 2021, was $45.2 million.
- The company has a diversified asset portfolio, which helps mitigate losses.
- Expectations for a rebound in marine transportation demand as COVID-19 restrictions ease.
- Q1 2021 net loss of $15.9 million, compared to net income of $25.1 million in Q1 2020.
- Shipping revenues declined 19.4% year-over-year, primarily due to reduced transportation demand.
- TCE revenues dropped 32.5%, significantly impacted by increased lay-up days for vessels.
Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE: OSG) (the “Company” or “OSG”), a leading provider of energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the first quarter 2021.
-
Net loss for the first quarter 2021 was
$15.9 million , or$(0.18) per diluted share, compared with net income of$25.1 million , or$0.28 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2020. The first quarter of 2020 included a$19.2 million gain related to the acquisition of the Alaska Tanker Company.
-
In April, we entered into a contract to sell the Overseas Gulf Coast for
$32.5 million . Based on the negotiated sale terms, the transaction will result in a$5.4 million loss, which we recorded in the first quarter of 2021. The sale of this unencumbered asset will provide additional liquidity.
-
Shipping revenues for the first quarter 2021 were
$81.3 million , a decrease of19.4% from$100.9 million in the first quarter 2020.
- Winter Storm Uri resulted in U.S. refinery shutdowns further reducing transportation demand from already depressed levels as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- During this quarter, the Company had seven ships in lay-up and one vessel unemployed in the spot market for two months.
-
Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A), a non-GAAP measure, for the first quarter 2021 were
$65.5 million , down32.5% compared with the first quarter 2020.
-
First quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was
$6.2 million , down88.2% from$52.8 million in the first quarter 2020.
-
Total cash(c) was
$45.2 million as of March 31, 2021.
Sam Norton, President and CEO, commenting on the recently completed quarter, stated, “The ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and associated lockdowns, business closures and travel restrictions, continued to severely impact global and national energy markets – and by extension demand for crude oil and refined product marine transportation in the first quarter. Given this very difficult operating environment, the results announced this morning have met our expectations and point to the continuing benefit of having a diversified asset portfolio. Although our conventional Jones Act tankers experienced losses in the first quarter, our other operating assets performed largely in line with historical norms. Heightened uncertainty has resulted in the non-renewal of charters for tankers. In response to this we have placed six conventional tankers and one of our lightering ATBs in layup as of March 31.”
Mr. Norton added, “We anticipate that, as vaccine distribution continues to expand and there is a continued lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, mobility and related US consumption of transportation fuels will normalize to fuel demand patterns consistent with historic levels of consumption. This normalization should stimulate more marine transportation demand, leading us to reactivate vessels from layup. The pace and trajectory of demand recovery continues to be influenced by many factors, including progress in resolving the pandemic outside of the US, and near-term uncertainty will continue to define a wide spectrum of possible vessel reactivation outcomes as we move through the late spring and summer. Nonetheless, we believe that, as our customers’ visibility and confidence in the future returns, there will be a resumption of more typical customer behavior and time charter activity will rebound, leading to improving financial performance as the year progresses.”

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. 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 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 measures used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income/(loss) as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
