OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2018 RESULTS
 
Tampa, FL – May 9, 2018 – Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE: OSG) (the “Company” or “OSG”) a provider of energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the first quarter 2018.
 
Highlights

Net income for the first quarter was $3.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2017.

Shipping revenues for the first quarter 2018 were $101.0 million, down 6.6% compared with the same period in 2017. Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(A), a non-GAAP measure, for the first quarter 2018 were $88.8 million, down 13.2% compared with the first quarter 2017. Sequentially, shipping revenues and TCE revenues increased 8.9% and 7.3%, respectively, over the fourth quarter of 2017.

First quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was $26.3 million, down 27.3% from $36.2 million in the first quarter 2017. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.6% from the 2017 fourth quarter.

Total cash(C) was $111.7 million as of March 31, 2018.

Prepayments of $75.2 million were made during the first quarter 2018 for the Company’s OBS Term Loan.
 
Mr. Sam Norton, CEO, stated, “We saw marked improvement in our financial performance during the just completed quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Rising spot market rates, higher utilization rates, a renewal of time charter activity, and a rebound in our niche market businesses to historical norms all contributed to the improved results. We now have greater confidence that we have seen the bottom of the market for spot and time charter rates and that a sustained recovery in our conventional Jones Act trades is now well underway.”

First Quarter 2018 Results
 
Shipping revenues were $101.0 million for the quarter, down 6.6% compared with the first quarter of 2017. TCE revenues for the first quarter of 2018 were $88.8 million, a decrease of $13.5 million, or 13.2%, compared with the first quarter of 2017. This decrease reflected weakened market conditions, reduction of two vessels in operation in the first quarter of 2018 when compared to the 2017 first quarter and a growing proportion of the Company's fleet becoming exposed to the spot markets.
 
Operating income for the first quarter of 2018 was $13.6 million, compared to operating income of $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2017.

Net income for the first quarter was $3.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA was $26.3 million for the first quarter, a decrease of $9.9 million compared with the first quarter of 2017, driven primarily by the decline in TCE revenues.

During the first quarter of 2018, market conditions firmed in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2017 resulting in higher TCE day rates for our product tankers operating in the spot market. Similar conditions occurred in spot market rates for ATBs; however, the benefit was reduced as utilization remains a challenge. These factors resulted in a 7.3% increase in TCE revenues and an increase in operating income to $13.6 million from $3.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA during the current quarter increased $3.6 million or 15.6% when compared to fourth quarter of 2017.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASC 715), which requires that an employer classify and report the service cost component in the same line item or items in the statement of operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period and disclose by line item in the statement of operations the amount of net benefit cost that is included in the statement of operations. The other components of net benefit cost would be presented in the statement of operations separately from the service cost component and outside the subtotal of income from operations. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2018 and has applied the guidance retrospectively.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC 230), Restricted Cash, which requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017 and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2018. The prior period has been adjusted to conform to current period presentation, which resulted in a decrease of $9,542 in net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017, related to changes in restricted cash amounts.

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:

Vessel Operating Contribution

Vessel operating contribution, a non-GAAP measure, is TCE revenues minus vessel expenses and charter hire expenses.

Our “niche market activities”, which includes Delaware Bay lightering, MSP vessels and shuttle tankers, continue to provide a stable operating platform underlying our total US Flag operations. These vessels’ operations are insulated from the forces affecting the broader Jones Act market.

(B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
 
EBITDA represents net (loss)/income from continuing operations 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 (loss)/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) from continuing operations as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
