International Seaways Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results

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

HIGHLIGHTS & RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Record Annual Earnings:

  • Net income for the full year of 2023 was $556.4 million, or $11.25 per diluted share, representing an increase of $168.6 million compared to the full year of 2022, which was $387.9 million, or $7.77 per share. Net income for the fourth quarter was $132.1 million, or $2.68 per diluted share, compared to net income of $218.4 million, or $4.40 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted net income(A), defined as net income excluding special items, for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $107.6 million, which excludes gains on vessel sales and write-off of deferred financing costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(B) for the fourth quarter was $158.8 million and for the full year of 2023 was $723.8 million.

Balance Sheet Enhancements:

  • Total liquidity was approximately $601 million as of December 31, 2023, including cash and short-term investments(C) of $187 million and $414 million of undrawn revolving credit capacity.
  • Prepaid nearly $300 million in debt during 2023 in addition to mandatory debt repayments of approximately $150 million and $27 million in debt prepayments related to vessel sales.
  • Net loan-to-value of 17% as of December 31, 2023, is the lowest in Company history.
  • Doubled revolver capacity over the last 12 months with two refinancings that also released vessels from the collateral package, reduced interest costs and extended the maturity profile. During 2023, 30 vessels were unencumbered.

Returns to Shareholders:

  • Paid a combined $1.25 per share in regular and supplemental dividends in December 2023.
  • Returned over $320 million to shareholders during 2023. The Company paid over $308 million in dividends, representing $6.29 per share and repurchased shares for $14 million at an average price of $38.
  • Declared a combined dividend of $1.32 per share composed of a supplemental dividend of $1.20 per share and $0.12 per share of a regular quarterly cash dividend to be paid in March 2024. The combined dividend represents 60% of adjusted net income for the fourth quarter.

Fleet Optimization Program:

  • Agreed to purchase six MRs, built between 2014 and 2015, for $232 million; 15% funded through shares with the remainder from available liquidity.
  • Sold two, 2008-built MRs for net proceeds of $28 million after debt repayment during the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • Increased contracted revenues to $354 million by entering into two new time charter agreements during the fourth quarter of 2023.

“2023 marked another record year for Seaways and our portfolio of tanker assets,” said Lois K. Zabrocky, International Seaways President and CEO. “During the year, drawing on our substantial cash flows, we continued to pull all the levers of our balanced capital allocation strategy. This included ordering LR1s to renew our fleet for our niche joint venture in the Panamax International pool, enhancing the balance sheet with substantial debt prepayments that lowered our cash break evens, doubling our revolving credit capacity and returning approximately 16% of our average market capitalization during 2023 to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Looking ahead, we expect to continue executing this balanced approach and further building on our track record of opportunistically renewing the fleet, improving the balance sheet, and returning substantial cash to shareholders.”

Ms. Zabrocky added, “Seaways has significant momentum that we expect to carry forward throughout the year, as positive market fundamentals remain intact. Strong tanker demand continues to be driven by growing oil demand and higher utilization from the evolving global energy trade where energy security is prioritized. Combined with the lowest orderbook in more than 30 years and an aging global fleet, we remain confident that current tanker market dynamics will prove to be sustainable in the near term and drive strong earnings for the foreseeable future.”

Jeff Pribor, the Company’s CFO stated, “We took important steps to enhance and diversify our capital structure in 2023 and believe Seaways’ balance sheet is the strongest it has ever been. This strength is evidenced by over $600 million in total liquidity and the lowest net-loan-to-value ratio in Company history at 17%. As part of our balanced capital allocation strategy, we proactively de-levered, exceeding our mandatory debt repayments by nearly $300 million in 2023, which reduced our break evens to below $14,500 per day. As we continue to generate free cash, we expect to build on our track record of compelling shareholder returns.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $132.1 million, or $2.68 per diluted share, compared to net income of $218.4 million, or $4.40 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was driven by the lower spot earnings primarily due to lower OPEC+ production. The reported net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 includes the impact of one-time items, consisting of the gain on disposal of vessels, and write-off of deferred financing costs, which aggregated to $24.6 million. Excluding these items, net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $107.6 million, or $2.18 per diluted share.

Shipping revenues for the fourth quarter were $250.7 million, compared to $338.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Consolidated TCE revenues(D) for the fourth quarter were $247.9 million, compared to $335.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $158.8 million, compared to $254.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Crude Tankers

Shipping revenues for the Crude Tankers segment were $125.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $152.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were $123.3 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $150.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower spot rates as the average spot earnings of the VLCC, Suezmax, Aframax sectors were approximately $43,000, $47,300, and $44,000 per day, respectively, compared with approximately $64,600, $59,100, and $62,000 per day, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Product Carriers

Shipping revenues for the Product Carriers segment were $125.6 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $185.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were $124.7 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $184.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease is primarily attributed to lower spot earnings in the LR1 and MR sectors that averaged approximately $46,200 and $31,500 per day, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to approximately $64,000 and $39,700 per day, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2022.

The reported net income for 2023 includes the impact of one-time items, consisting of the gain on disposal of vessels, debt modification expenses, and write-off of deferred financing costs and loss on extinguishment of debt, which aggregated $31.4 million. Excluding these items, net income for 2023 was $525.1 million, or $10.62 per diluted share.

Shipping revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $1,071.8 million, compared to $864.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Consolidated TCE revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $1,055.5 million, compared to $853.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

BALANCE SHEET ENHANCEMENTS

During 2023, the Company extinguished approximately $324 million of debt. During the first quarter, the Company amended the $750 Million Credit Facility, which included a prepayment of $97 million on the term loan, increased the capacity of the revolving credit facility tranche by $40 million and released 22 vessels from the collateral package. During the second quarter, the Company prepaid approximately $75 million in debt with the exercise of purchase options for two vessels under sale-leaseback agreements for $46 million and the prepayment of $29 million on the $750 Million Credit Facility, which also released another vessel from the collateral package. During the third quarter, a net prepayment of $54 million resulted from the execution of a new revolving credit facility that increased revolving credit capacity by $160 million with an attractive margin, maturity extension and age-adjusted amortization profile. The transaction resulted in a prepayment of existing debt of $104 million and a drawdown on the new facility of $50 million. During the fourth quarter, the Company prepaid approximately $71 million of debt, including a $50 million payment on the aforementioned revolving credit facility. The Company’s revolving credit is fully undrawn with capacity of $414 million.

The Company also paid approximately $27 million on the $750 Million Credit Facility in connection with the sales of three 2008-built MRs during 2023.

RETURNING CASH TO SHAREHOLDERS

In December 2023, the Company paid a combined dividend of $1.25 per share of common stock, composed of a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock and a supplemental dividend of $1.13 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has paid combined dividends of approximately $6.29 per share.

On February 28, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a combined dividend of $1.32 per share of common stock, composed of a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock and a supplemental dividend of $1.20 per share of common stock. Both dividends will be paid on March 28, 2024, to shareholders with a record date at the close of business on March 14, 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and retired a total of 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 currently has $50 million authorized under its share repurchase program, which expires at the end of 2025.

FLEET OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM

On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into agreements to acquire two 2014-built and four 2015-built MR vessels for total consideration of $232 million. The Company expects to finance 15% of the total consideration with shares of common stock with the balance funded by available liquidity. Each of the six vessel purchases is subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions customary for vessel purchases. Delivery of the vessels is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter 2024.

In the fourth quarter, the Company entered into two new time charter agreements for over two years on two 2009-built MRs. During 2023, the Company has entered into eight, time charter agreements: one 2017-built Aframax, three 2008-built MRs, two 2009-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 $354 million remaining under time charter agreements from January 1, 2024 through charter expiry, excluding any applicable profit share.

During 2023, the Company sold three 2008-built MRs, which generated approximately $39 million in net proceeds after debt repayment.

The Company entered into contracts and declared options to build a total of four scrubber-fitted, dual-fuel (LNG) ready, LR1 vessels in Korea with K Shipbuilding Co, Ltd at a price in aggregate of approximately $231 million. Two contracts were executed in August 2023 with two additional options that were exercised in October 2023. The vessels are expected to be delivered beginning in the second half of 2025 through the first quarter of 2026. Upon delivery, these vessels are expected to deliver into our niche, Panamax International Pool, which has consistently outperformed the market. During the fourth quarter, the Company entered into an option agreement for two additional, dual-fuel ready LR1 vessels at the same shipyard for delivery during the third quarter of 2026 at an additional cost of $116 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company’s option will expire on March 31, 2024.

During 2023, the Company took delivery of three dual-fuel VLCC newbuildings. The vessels were ordered for an aggregate contract price of $288 million, which are financed under sale leaseback arrangements at a fixed rate of approximately 4.25%. The vessels have commenced long-term time charters into 2030 with an oil major at a base rate of $31,000 per day plus a profit share component.

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 at the time of approximately 45% to the market value of these vessels. One vessel was delivered in March 2023 while the other delivered in April 2023.

Revenue days in the above tables exclude days related to full service lighterings and days for which recoveries were recorded under the Company’s loss of hire insurance policies. In addition, during 2023 and 2022, certain of the Company’s vessels were employed on transitional voyages in the spot market prior to delivering to pools. These transitional voyages are excluded from the tables above.

During the 2023 and 2022 periods, each of the Company’s LR1s participated in the Panamax International Pool and transported crude oil cargoes exclusively.

Fleet Information

As of December 31, 2023, INSW’s fleet totaled 77 vessels, of which 63 were owned and 14 were chartered in.

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) Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income consists of Net Income adjusted for the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. This measure does not represent or substitute net income or any other financial item that is determined in accordance with GAAP. While Adjusted Net Income is frequently used as a measure of operating results and performance, it may not be necessarily comparable with other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income, as reflected in the consolidated statement of operations, to Adjusted Net Income:

(B) 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 consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

(D) 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:
