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 in International Flag markets, today reported results for the third quarter of 2020.
Highlights
- Net income for the third quarter was $14.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019. Net income for the quarter reflects the impact of a $12.8 million impairment charge and loss on sale of vessels and a $0.7 million write-off of deferred finance costs and fees associated with the extinguishment of debt. Net income excluding these items was $27.6 million, or $0.98 per diluted share.
- Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A) for the third quarter were $94.0 million, compared to $65.8 million for the third quarter of 2019.
- Adjusted EBITDA(B) for the third quarter was $54.6 million, compared to $23.8 million for the same period of 2019.
- Cash(C) was $153.7 million as of September 30, 2020; total liquidity was $193.7 million, including $40.0 million of undrawn revolver.
- Renewed share buyback program and increased authorization to a further $50 million.
- Paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share in September 2020 and announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share payable in December 2020.
- Prepaid the full $40.0 million outstanding under the Transition Term Loan Facility
- Subsequent to the end of the quarter, agreed to sell a 2002-built VLCC, Seaways Mulan, a 2003-built VLCC, Seaways Rosalyn, and a 2001-built Aframax, Seaways Fran.
- Signed 10-year extensions to our contracts for our two FSO joint ventures, which are expected to generate in excess of $322 million of contract revenues for the Company over the additional 10-year extension periods.
“During the third quarter, we generated solid results and increased our cash position despite current pressure on rates,” said Lois K. Zabrocky, International Seaways’ President and CEO. “Our sizeable fleet of crude and product tankers performed well during the quarter, and the four favorable time charters we executed earlier this year at very strong rates were instrumental in enabling us to optimize revenue during the current period of oil inventory destocking. Importantly, taking into consideration these time charters, two of which extend well into 2021, the contributions from our FSO JV, and our ongoing strategy of paying down debt, we have reduced our cash breakeven rate to approximately $17,500 per day.”
Ms. Zabrocky continued, “Moving forward, we remain positive on the long-term outlook of the tanker market. Our strategic focus continues to be on executing our disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation, while continuing to advance initiatives that unlock significant value for shareholders. With this important goal in mind, we have finalized 10-year extensions for our FSO joint venture contracts, which are expected to generate in excess of $322 million of contract revenues for the Company, bolstering our contracted cash flows for another decade. In addition, and as we continue to operate in a COVID-19 environment, our priorities remain the safety of our onshore and at-sea professionals and providing best-in-class service to our leading energy customers.”
Jeff Pribor, the Company’s CFO, added, “We have succeeded in generating strong cash flows year-to-date for shareholders and deploying capital to further pay down debt and significantly enhance our financial strength. Notably, our total liquidity at quarter’s end was $194 million, and our net loan to value was 39%, one of the lowest among our tanker peers. We also paid our regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06, complementing the approximate 5% of stock we have purchased in 2020 thus far. With our ample liquidity, we remain in a strong position to continue to return capital to shareholders and take advantage of strategic opportunities as they arise.”
Third Quarter 2020 Results
Net income for the third quarter was $14.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019. The increase in the third quarter of 2020 primarily reflects higher TCE revenues and substantially lower charter hire expenses and interest expense. An increase of $14.3 million in losses on disposals of vessels, and other property, including impairments served to partially offset such increases. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $111.4 million, or $3.88 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $16.7 million, or $0.57 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Consolidated TCE revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $94.0 million, compared to $65.8 million for the third quarter of 2019. Shipping revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $99.9 million, compared to $71.3 million for the third quarter of 2019. Consolidated TCE revenues for the nine months ended September 30,2020 were $349.1 million, compared to $222.3 million in the prior year period. Shipping revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $364.9 million compared to $242.2 million for the prior year period.
The third quarter began with some strength in the crude tanker market, carried over from the strong environment of the second quarter. The large inventory build-up seen in the second quarter as a result of overproduction and oil contango put pressure on tanker rates during the third quarter.
In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $11.7 million for a 2002-built and 2003-built VLCC, both of which have been contracted for sale, to write-down their carrying values to their estimated fair values at September 30, 2020. Interest expense decreased by $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 as a result of lower average outstanding debt balances in the current year periods compared to the 2019 periods. This was principally attributable to $110 million in principal prepayments on the 2017 Term Loan Facility during the second half of 2019, the $40 million repayment of the Transition Loan Facility in August 2020 and the use of cash in the January 2020 refinancing. In addition, lower average margins and interest rates on the refinanced portion of debt entered into by the Company during the first quarter of 2020, and lower average LIBOR rates during the third quarter of 2020 contributed to the decline in interest expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $54.6 million for the quarter, compared to $23.8 million for the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was $225.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $92.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Crude Tankers
TCE revenues for the Crude Tankers segment were $79.8 million for the quarter compared to $49.4 million for the third quarter of 2019. This increase primarily resulted from the impact of higher average rates in the VLCC, Suezmax, and Panamax sectors, with average spot earnings climbing to approximately $35,800, $28,200, and $15,500 per day, respectively, aggregating approximately $33.9 million. Also contributing was a 214-day increase in VLCC revenue days, which includes 110 days covered under the Company’s loss of hire insurance policy related to an off-hire period for the Seaways Mulan, as it was held by Indonesian authorities from February 8, 2020 through June 8, 2020 and was not redelivered back to the Tankers International Pool until June 28, 2020. The Company received $4.1 million from its insurance provider as a result of this recovery. Shipping revenues for the Crude Tankers segment were $83.6 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $54.9 million for the third quarter of 2019. TCE revenues for the Crude Tankers segment were $274.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $167.0 million for the same period last year. Shipping revenues for the Crude Tankers segment were $287.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $186.7 million for the same period last year.
Product Carriers
TCE revenues for the Product Carriers segment were $14.2 million for the quarter, compared to $16.4 million for the third quarter of 2019. Higher period-over-period average daily blended rates earned by the LR2 and MR fleets, with average spot rates rising to approximately $21,500 and $14,400 per day, respectively, accounted for an increase in TCE revenues of approximately $0.8 million. This was offset by a $2.6 million days-based decline arising primarily from a 283-day decrease in MR revenue days in the third quarter, which resulted principally from the redelivery of four time chartered-in MRs to their owners between the third quarter of 2019 and July 2020. Shipping revenues for the Product Carriers segment were $16.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $16.4 million for the third quarter of 2019. TCE revenues for the Product Carriers segment were $74.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,2020, compared to $55.3 million in the 2019 nine-month period. Shipping revenues for the Product Carriers segment were $77.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $55.4 million for the same period last year.
Share Repurchases
During the quarter, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a renewal of the share repurchase program in the amount of $30 million. On October 28, 2020, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase program authorization to $50 million. No shares were acquired under the repurchase program in the third quarter.
Debt Prepayment
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company prepaid the $40.0 million outstanding principal balance under the Transition Term Loan Facility using available cash on hand, increasing the number of unencumbered ships in our fleet to 14.
Payment of Regular Cash Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock on October 28, 2020. The dividend will be paid on December 23, 2020 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 8, 2020.
Vessel Sales
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company agreed to sell a 2002-built VLCC, Seaways Mulan, a 2003-built VLCC, Seaways Rosalyn, and a 2001-built Aframax, Seaways Fran, for delivery to buyers between November 2020 and January 2021.
10-Year Contract Extensions for FSO Joint Venture
In October 2020, the FSO Joint Venture signed a 10-year extension on each of the existing service contracts with North Oil Company (“NOC”), relating to the two FSO service vessels. The extensions will commence in direct continuation of the existing contracts, which were originally scheduled to expire during the third quarter of 2022.

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. 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:

(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 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/(loss) as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
