New York - October 29, 2007 -Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE: OSG), a market leader in providing energy transportation services, today reported results for the third fiscal quarter of 2007.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, Time Charter Equivalent1 (TCE) revenues were $254.0 million, a slight decline from $254.8 million for the same period of 2006. The decrease reflects a decline in average daily TCE rates earned for VLCCs, Aframaxes and Handysize Product Carriers. EBITDA1 for the quarter decreased 32% to $92.8 million from $135.6 million in the comparable period of 2006. Net income for the period decreased 71% to $26.6 million, and diluted EPS decreased 64% to $0.83 per share compared with $90.8 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Net income in the current quarter benefited from a gain on vessel sales and sale of securities of $1.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share compared with gains on vessel sales and sale of securities of $15.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share in the same period a year ago. Period-over-period diluted EPS also benefited from the Company's repurchase of 21.4% of total shares outstanding since Septem ber 2006.
For the first nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported a 5% increase in TCE revenues to $787.5 million from $751.2 million in the comparable period of 2006. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2007 decreased 9% to $387.4 million from $424.8 million in the first nine months of 2006. Net income declined 32% to $190.3 million for the first nine months of 2007 compared with $279.4 million in the comparable period of 2006. Diluted earnings per share declined 24% to $5.39 per share in the first nine months of 2007 from $7.06 per diluted share in the same period a year ago. The first nine months of 2007 benefited from gains on vessel sales and sale of securities of $48.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared with $21.1 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2006.
1See Appendix 1 for a reconciliation of TCE revenues to shipping revenues and Appendix 2 for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income.
TCE revenues in the third quarter of 2007 for the International Crude Tanker segment were $127.3 million, a decrease of $48.6 million, or 28%, from $175.9 million, in the same period of 2006. The decrease was principally due to declines in the daily TCE rates earned for the VLCCs and Aframaxes, partially offset by the inclusion of the results of Heidmar Lightering from April 1, 2007. TCE revenues for the International Product Carrier segment were $66.9 million, up $11.9 million, or 22% from $55.0 million in the year earlier period. The growth was principally due to increases in the average daily rates earned by Handysize Product Carriers trading both spot and on time charters, an increase in revenue days attributable to the delivery of two Panamax Product Carriers during the third quarter of 2007, and four time chartered-in Handysize Product carriers subsequent to September 30, 2006. TCE revenues from the U.S. segment were $53.8 million, up $34.8 million, or 183%, from $19.0 million in the same quarter a year earlier, reflecting the acquisition of Maritrans and the delivery of the Overseas Houston and the Overseas Long Beach in the first half of 2007. The balance of TCE revenues were derived from the Company's two International Flag dry bulk carriers.
Morten Arntzen, President and CEO of OSG remarked, "During a challenging third quarter, we focused on executing our balanced growth strategy. Notable achievements were a 22% quarter-over-quarter rise of Product Carrier TCE revenues resulting from the increase and diversification of ships in that fleet and optimizing the mix of spot and time charters. The Product Carrier fleet was further expanded with the announcement of four LR1 newbuildings. Our diversification into the Suezmax market makes OSG the only major shipping company to provide our customers service in all four crude transportation segments. The most exciting development in the quarter was winning the contract award from Petrobras for the first U.S. Gulf Jones Act shuttle tankers, which are expected to begin transporting crude oil from ultra-deepwater discoveries in early 2010." Arntzen concluded, "These diversification efforts are critical to OSG and further proof that we are building a business for long-term success."
Income from vessel operations was $33.9 million in the third quarter of 2007, a 62% decrease from $88.9 million in the same period a year earlier. For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, total operating expenses increased 38%, or $66.4 million, to $243.3 million from $176.9 million in the corresponding quarter in 2006. The increase in operating expenses was principally a result of the inclusion of the Maritrans and the Heidmar Lightering acquisitions and an increase in chartered-in tonnage. As of September 30, 2007, OSG chartered in 50 vessels compared with 44 a year earlier. General and administrative expenses increased $12.8 million, or 61%, in the third quarter of 2007 principally due to costs associated with the Tampa, Philadelphia and Houston offices following the Maritrans and Heidmar Lightering acquisitions and expenses related to the Manila office. Total operating expenses in the third quarter 2006 included $27.0 million related to a reserve taken for the U.S. Department of Justice investiga tion, which was settled on December 19, 2006 and paid in 2007.
Financial Highlights
Share Repurchase. From July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007, OSG purchased 1,579,585 shares at an average price of $73.22 per share. Since the initial announcement of its share repurchase program on June 9, 2006, the Company has repurchased 21.4% of total shares outstanding at a total cost of $561.4 million. The Company's current $200 million repurchase program has a total of $52.5 million that remains outstanding.
Future Locked-in Revenue. Future revenues associated with noncancelable term charters as of September 30, 2007, totaled $1.6 billion including time charters entered into by the Aframax International pool and fixed rate contracts of affreightment from the U.S. Flag lightering operation. Such future revenues exclude the Gas segment.
Quarterly Dividend Announced. On September 26, 2007, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.3125 per share to stockholders of record on November 7, 2007, payable on November 28, 2007.

- OSG has agreed to purchase, sell and bareboat charter-back two Suezmax tankers from Double Hull Tankers, Inc. (NYSE: DHT). Delivery of a 2001-built 164,000 dwt vessel is expected in December 2007 and delivery of a 2000-built 153,000 dwt vessel is expected in the first quarter of 2008. The vessels have been chartered for seven and 10 years, respectively.
- OSG has time chartered-in two 156,000 dwt sister ships for three years. The vessels, currently under construction in China, are expected to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Product Carriers
Fleet Deliveries
On August 1, 2007, OSG took delivery of the Overseas Luzon, a 2006-built 75,000 dwt coated Panamax Product Carrier, commonly referred to as an LR1.
Fleet Diversification
On August 30, 2007, the Company announced that it had further expanded its LR1 fleet and will build four 73,500 dwt coated Panamax Product Carriers at the SPP Plant and Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. based in Tong Yang, South Korea. Two vessels are expected to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2010, one in the first quarter of 2011 and one in the second quarter of 2011.
U.S.
Fleet Expansion
On October 3, 2007, OSG announced a definitive agreement to bareboat charter-in two additional MT-46 Jones Act Product Carriers tankers to be built at the Aker Philadelphia Shipyard.
Fleet Diversification
On October 5, 2007, OSG announced its entrance into the U.S. Gulf of Mexico shuttle tanker business. The Company will charter two 46,000 dwt Jones Act tankers to Petrobras America, Inc. Commencing with the expected delivery of the converted ships to Petrobras in the first quarters of 2010 and 2011, OSG will transport oil from ultra-deepwater fields Chinook and Cascade, exclusively a Jones Act trade. This will be the first FPSO and shuttle tanker project in U.S. Gulf of Mexico waters.
Fleet Metrics and Corporate Statistics
As of September 30, 2007, OSG's owned or operated fleet totaled 107 International Flag and U.S. Flag vessels compared with 91 at September 30, 2006. Fifty-three percent, or 57 vessels, were owned as of September 30, 2007, with the remaining vessels bareboat or time chartered-in. OSG's newbuild program of chartered-in and owned vessels totaled 42 and spanned all lines of business. A detailed fleet list and updates on vessels under construction can be found in the Fleet section of www.osg.com.
Revenue days in the quarter totaled 9,135 compared with 7,329 in the same period a year earlier. The increase principally reflects the addition of the former Maritrans fleet, the OSG Lightering fleet and the net delivery of one vessel since September 2006. Revenue days by segment can be found in Spot and Time Charter TCE Rates Achieved and Revenue Days, later in this press release.
Financial Profile

Appendix 1 - TCE Reconciliation
Reconciliations of time charter equivalent revenues of the segments to shipping revenues as reported in the consolidated statements of operations follow:
| Three Months Ended Sep. 30, | | Nine Months Ended Sep. 30, |
($ in thousands) | 2007 | | 2006 | | 2007 | | 2006 |
Time charter equivalent revenues | $254,037 | | $254,808 | | $787,455 | | $751,221 |
Add: Voyage expenses | 23,144 | | 11,056 | | 65,007 | | 36,422 |
Shipping revenues | $277,181 | | $265,864 | | $852,462 | | $787,643 |
| ============= | | ============= | | ============ | | ============ |
Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses time charter equivalent revenues, which represents shipping revenues less voyage expenses, as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time charter. Time charter equivalent revenues, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with shipping revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance.
Appendix 2 - EBITDA Reconciliation
The following table shows reconciliations of net income, as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA:
| Three Months Ended Sep. 30, | Nine Months Ended Sep. 30, |
($ in thousands) | 2007 | | 2006 | 2007 | | 2006 |
Net income | $26,629 | | $90,830 | $190,273 | | $279,425 |
Provision/(credit) for federal income taxes | (4,417) | | (3,800) | 8,501 | | (11,141) |
Interest expense | 22,061 | | 14,552 | 53,510 | | 52,293 |
Depreciation and amortization | 48,543 | | 33,981 | 135,125 | | 104,195 |
EBITDA | $92,816 | | $135,563 | $387,409 | | $424,772 |
| ================== | | =============== | ============= | | ======== |
EBITDA represents operating earnings, which is before interest expense and income taxes, plus other income and depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is presented to provide investors with meaningful additional information that management uses to monitor ongoing operating results and evaluate trends over comparative periods. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income or cash flow from operating activities prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and performance, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
Appendix 3 - Capital Expenditures
The following table presents information with respect to OSG's capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:
