New York – May 1, 2012 – Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE: OSG), a market leader in providing energy transportation services, today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 ended March 31, 2012.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company reported TCE1 revenues of $214.0 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 4%, from $206.6 million in the 2011 quarter. TCE revenues increased quarter-over-quarter in line with a 559-day increase (6%) in revenue days, which reflected new deliveries of International and U.S. Flag product carriers and the return to service of a previously laid-up U.S. Flag ATB. Improvement in TCEs in the U.S. Flag unit and for VLCCs and Suezmaxes combined with an increase in U.S. Flag revenue days to more than offset lower TCEs earned in the smaller Crude sectors. In the International Products segment, fleet expansion coupled with slightly higher spot TCEs earned by MRs led to a $6.6 million increase in TCE revenues. The $13.3 million decline in International Crude TCE revenues to $75.5 million reflects a lower average segment TCE rate and the continued net reduction of chartered-in tonnage. High bunker prices continued to pressure TCE revenues across the spot fleet. Net loss (Loss2) for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $34.8 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, compared with a Loss of $34.6 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, in the same period in 2011. Adjusted for special items that reduced the Loss by $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, the first quarter Loss was $37.0 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, compared with a Loss of $34.7 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011. Details on special items are provided later in this press release.
Morten Arntzen, President and CEO stated, “Rates in our International Flag segments continue to be weak and volatile, but have improved from the last six months of 2011, which we believe was the bottom of the tanker cycle. The first quarter results for our International Products business were negatively impacted by an unseasonably warm winter, while the Crude market continues to struggle with excess supply. We began this quarter with healthier crude rates and a more balanced products market as the driving season in the U.S. approaches. At the same time, we are getting satisfying contributions from our U.S. Flag, LNG and FSO businesses.”
Mr. Arntzen concluded, “We remain intensely focused on executing a number of actions to strengthen the Company operationally and financially. These include further expense reduction initiatives on shore, a fleetwide effort to reduce fuel consumption at sea and a number of initiatives to increase liquidity. In this volatile environment, we will continue our patient approach to acquisitions, charter-in opportunities and newbuilding projects.”

Select Quarterly Income Statement Detail
| - | The $7.5 million increase in TCE revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from the year-earlier quarter is principally due to a 6% increase in revenue days of 559 days. Persistently firm bunker prices continue to depress spot TCEs across the OSG fleet. |
| · | TCE revenues in the International Crude segment decreased by $13.3 million, or 15%, to $75.5 million on 166 (4%) fewer revenue days as the Company continued to redeliver chartered-in vessels that had generated losses in recent quarters. VLCC spot rates firmed slightly on 66 fewer revenue days as redeliveries of time chartered-in vessels were partially offset by the delivery of two owned newbuildings in July 2011 and January 2012. Suezmax TCE revenues increased significantly as the Company increased its exposure through short-term time charters-in at attractive rates (resulting in a 60% increase of 193 revenue days) in a sector that displayed considerable strength in the first quarter – the realized spot TCE more than doubled sequentially and rose 55% from the first quarter of 2011. Average spot TCEs fell in the Aframax (-13%) and Panamax (-28%) sectors, while reduced lightering volumes negatively impacted the TCE rates realized in Aframax Lightering fleet (-27%). TCEs in all Crude classes showed sequential improvement from fourth quarter 2011 levels. |
| · | International Products revenues increased by $6.6 million, or 15%, to $51.9 million. The increase in the daily spot and fixed TCE rates achieved in the MR class largely offset weakness in the LR1 class where the realized spot TCE rate declined by 45% quarter-on-quarter. The 16% increase of 526 revenue days reflected the delivery of two owned and three time chartered-in MRs and two owned LR1s since the beginning of the first quarter of 2011. |
| · | TCE revenue in the U.S. Flag segment increased by $15.0 million, or 22%, to $83.5 million, on higher realized TCEs in each vessel class and an increase of 197 revenue days (11%) that was due to the deliveries of two newbuildings, one bareboat chartered-in product carrier and one shuttle tanker (post-conversion), since the first quarter of 2011 and the return to service from layup of the OSG 214 in the third quarter of 2011. Realized TCEs increased on U.S. Flag product carriers as time charters were added or replaced at sequentially higher rates, and also rose on ATBs as a result of higher spot rates and improved utilization. |
| - | Vessel expenses increased $1.3 million, or 2%, to $70.7 million from $69.4 million in the prior year period. In the International Crude unit, a 176-day increase in owned and bareboat chartered-in days stemming from the delivery of two owned newbuild VLCCs since the second quarter of 2011 was more than offset by a $1,200/day decline in average daily operating cost, resulting in a $1.0 million reduction in vessel expenses. International Products vessel expenses increased by $1.2 million, principally due to a 357-day increase in owned and bareboat chartered-in days resulting from the delivery of four owned product carriers referred to above, partially offset by a $600/day decrease in average daily operating cost. Vessel expenses increased by $1.2 million in the U.S. Flag unit as a result of the deliveries of the shuttle tanker and the bareboat chartered-in Jones Act product carrier referred to above and the return to service of the OSG 214 from layup (during which operating expenses are reduced). |
| - | Charter hire expenses increased by $0.4 million to $95.8 million, reflecting changes in the chartered-in fleet and a decrease of $6.2 million in deferred gain amortization, which serves to reduce charter hire expense, resulting from the expiry of the amortization period on prior sales of certain Crude vessels that were subject to leaseback arrangements. In the Crude fleet, the continued redelivery of time chartered-in VLCCs and Aframaxes against additions to the time chartered-in Suezmax fleet resulted in a net reduction of 298 charter-in days. The average daily charter rate paid decreased by $1,900/day on rate concessions of $5,000 per day negotiated on time charters-in of two VLCCs and two Aframaxes and the replacement of chartered-in tonnage at lower daily rates. Charter hire expenses increased in the International Products and U.S. Flag segments as a result of the deliveries of the three time chartered-in MRs and one bareboat chartered-in Jones Act product carrier referred to above. |
| - | General and administrative expenses were $21.1 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 14%, from $24.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. This reduction was principally the result of a $3.0 million decrease in compensation and benefits, which was driven by headcount reductions and a decrease in incentive compensation accruals for 2012, and a $0.7 million benefit from favorable exchange rate movements, partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million in legal and consulting expenses. |
Special Items
Special items in the first quarter of 2012 reduced the quarterly Loss by $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, and included:
| - | Increase in the unrealized gains on bunker swaps of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share; and |
| - | Gain on sale of securities and investments of $1.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share; which were partially offset by |
| - | Cost incurred to date of $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, associated with the consolidation of the International flag technical management functions in Athens, Greece. |
For a detailed schedule of these special items for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the prior year quarter, see Reconciling Information, which is posted in Webcasts and Presentations in the Investor Relations section of www.osg.com.
Liquidity and Other Key Metrics
| - | Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments increased to $227 million from $55 million as of December 31, 2011. This increase reflects in part the drawdown in February 2012 of $150 million from the unsecured revolving credit facility and the investment thereof in cash instruments, as well as the January 2012 prepayment in full of a secured debt facility in the amount of $49 million. |
| - | Total debt was $2.24 billion, up from $2.07 billion as of December 31, 2011. Net debt, consisting of total debt less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, was essentially unchanged from the same date at $2.02 billion. |
| - | Liquidity3 was approximately $0.6 billion including undrawn amounts of $344 million under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility which has a maximum capacity of $1.5 billion (reflecting a $150 million reduction in February 2012) and matures in February 2013. Liquidity-adjusted long term debt to capital4 was 53.0%, a decrease from 56.2% as of December 31, 2011 that was primarily the result of the reclassification of $256 million of long-term revolver balances to current based on the February 2013 maturity date of the current revolver and the $900 million capacity of the forward start facility that replaces it. |
| - | As of March 31, 2012, 15 vessels constituting 29% of the net book value of the Company’s vessels were pledged as collateral under secured debt facilities. |
| - | Construction contract commitments were $53 million as of March 31, 2012, including $24 million due in 2012, consisting of the remaining progress payments on two Aframax newbuildings which are scheduled to deliver in 2013. |
4 Liquidity-adjusted debt is defined as long-term debt reduced by cash and short-term investments.
Segment Activity
Crude Oil
| - | During March 2012, OSG redelivered two time chartered-in VLCCs, the DHT Regal and the KHK Vision, to their owners. |
| - | During May 2012, OSG will redeliver the Overseas Rebecca and the Overseas Ania, two time chartered-in Aframaxes, to their owner after completion of current repositioning voyages. |
| - | In the year to date, OSG has redelivered 1.7 VLCCs, 2.9 Suezmaxes and 1.0 Aframax previously chartered-in at rates above those earned in the spot markets in 2011. Over the balance of 2012, the Company is scheduled to redeliver another 1.4 VLCCs, 0.9 Suezmaxes and 4.0 Aframaxes on loss-making time charters to their owners. The expiry of these charters-in and/or the rechartering of replacement tonnage at current lower rates is expected to have a significant positive impact on the results of OSG’s chartered-in Crude fleet going forward. |
Products
| - | To address the aforementioned weakness in the clean products markets for LR1s, five of the Company’s six LR1s have been redeployed to the Crude Panamax trade. |
U.S. Flag
| - | There are no tankers or ATBs in Jones Act fleet in layup, and OSG’s U.S. Flag fleet remains fully employed. This is reflective of firmer trading conditions in the Jones Act market, which is experiencing generally higher rates and utilization with increasing inquiry for period business. In the year 2012 to date, OSG’s Jones Act product carriers have been renewed at rates in excess of expiring rates, with each successive renewal rate higher than the last. |

Appendix 1 – Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Information
TCE Reconciliation
Reconciliation of time charter equivalent revenues of the segments to shipping revenues as reported in the consolidated statements of operations follow:
| | | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| ($ in thousands) | | 2012 | | | 2011 | |
| Time charter equivalent revenues | | $ | 214,029 | | | $ | 206,562 | |
| Add: Voyage Expenses | | | 78,349 | | | | 57,106 | |
| Shipping revenues | | $ | 292,378 | | | $ | 263,668 | |
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.
