“We are pleased to have successfully completed the separation of International Seaways from OSG and to begin our journey as an independent public company,” said Lois K. Zabrocky, International Seaways’ president and CEO. “During the quarter, we also received a letter of award on a five-year contract for our FSO joint ventures, and we continue with negotiations on that project.”
Ms. Zabrocky continued, “Looking forward, International Seaways has a diversified 55 vessel fleet positioned to optimize revenue through a balanced mix of contracted cash flows and spot market upside. Our lean and scalable model and low break-evens along with our strong financial position allow us to navigate through the volatility in the tanker cycle while providing significant operating leverage to take advantage of a market recovery. While we expect the year ahead to present a number of challenges, I am confident in the solid foundation we have built and the measures we continue to take to create a platform for success. We have a strong set of assets and capabilities along with the right people and strategies to effectively execute and drive shareholder value.”

A, B, CReconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release starting on Page 10.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $57.8 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, compared with net income of $37.6 million, or $1.29 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA was $37.5 million for the quarter, a decrease of $33.5 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2015, driven by lower daily rates.
International Crude Tankers
TCE revenues for the International Crude Tankers segment were $54.1 million for the quarter, down 36% compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in VLCC and Aframax rates, with spot rates declining to $32,100 and $15,100 per day, respectively, resulting in a $29.2 million decline in TCE revenues. Shipping revenues for the International Crude Tankers segment were $58.8 million for the quarter, down 34% compared with the fourth quarter 2015.
International Product Carriers
TCE revenues for the International Product Carriers segment were $27.5 million for the quarter, down 23% compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in MR spot rates, with spot rates declining to $10,800 per day. The decline in blended MR rates resulted in an $11.7 million decline in TCE revenues. This decrease was partially offset by increased revenue days in the LR1 and MR fleets due to fewer drydock and repair days, which accounted for a $3.9 million increase in TCE revenues. Shipping revenues for the International Product Carriers segment were $27.0 million for the quarter, down 25% compared with the fourth quarter 2015.
Full Year 2016 Results
Consolidated TCE revenues for the full year 2016 were $385.0 million, a decrease of $90.7 million, or 19%, compared with the full year 2015. Shipping revenues for the full year 2016 were $398.3 million, a decrease of $99.3 million compared with the full year 2015.
Operating income for the full year 2016 was $22.8 million, compared to operating income of $221.9 million for the full year 2015. The decrease reflects the impact of impairment charges of $109.7 million, $9.0 million of separation and transition costs and the decline in TCE revenues referred to above, partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $9.9 million in 2016.
Net loss for the full year 2016 was $18.2 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with net income of $173.2 million, or $5.94 per diluted share in the full year 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA was $222.0 million for the full year 2016, a decrease of $77.2 million compared with the full year 2015, driven by lower daily rates.
International Crude Tankers
TCE revenues for the International Crude Tankers segment were $258.2 million for the full year 2016, down 15% compared with the full year 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in VLCC and Aframax rates, with spot rates declining to $42,000 and $21,300 per day, respectively, resulting in a $65.3 million decline in TCE revenues. This decrease was partially offset by increased revenue days in the VLCC and Aframax fleets due to fewer drydock and repair days, which accounted for a $11.6 million increase in TCE revenues, along with a $5.2 million increase in revenue resulting from the Company’s ULCC being taken out of lay-up in the first quarter of 2015. Shipping revenues for the International Crude Tankers segment were $271.8 million for the full year 2016, down 16% compared with the full year 2015.
International Product Carriers
TCE revenues for the International Product Carriers segment were $126.3 million for the full year 2016, down 26% compared with the full year 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in MR spot rates, with spot rates declining to $13,100 per day. The decline in blended MR rates resulted in a $41.3 million decline in TCE revenues. Also contributing was a decrease in revenue days in the MR fleet due to the sale of a 1998-built MR in July 2015 as well as the redelivery of an MR to its owners at the expiry of its time charter in March 2015. Shipping revenues for the International Product Carriers segment were $126.6 million for the full year 2016, down 27% compared with the full year 2015.

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:

| Shipping revenues | $ | 85,810 | | | $ | 124,970 | | | $ | 398,319 | | | $ | 497,634 | |
(B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net (loss)/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 (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 (loss)/income as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
