NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Company”), and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “OSG”, “we”, “us” or “our”). The Company owns and operates a fleet of oceangoing vessels engaged primarily in the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products in the U.S. Flag trade.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”).
Note 2 — Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure. The amendments require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280. The guidance is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The enhanced segment disclosure requirements apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The significant segment expense and other segment item amounts disclosed in prior periods shall be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company will adopt this standard for its 2024 Form 10-K. Management is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2025. Management is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 - Revenue Recognition
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company has disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The disaggregation below is based on contract type. Since the terms within these contract types are generally standard in nature, the Company does not believe that further disaggregation would result in increased insight into the economic factors impacting revenue and cash flows.
The following table shows the Company’s shipping revenues disaggregated by nature of the charter arrangement for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
Schedule of Disaggregation of Revenue
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Time and bareboat charter revenues | | $ | 95,931 | | | $ | 84,140 | |
Voyage charter revenues (1) | | | 3,558 | | | | 13,789 | |
Contracts of affreightment (“COA”) revenues | | | 18,008 | | | | 15,862 | |
Total shipping revenues | | $ | 117,497 | | | $ | 113,791 | |
(1) | For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not have any revenue related to short-term time charter contracts, which are time charter contracts for periods of less than 90 days, included in voyage charter revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, voyage charter revenues include revenue related to short-term time charter contracts of $119. |

Voyage Receivables
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract balances from contracts with customers consisted of voyage receivables of $4,386 and $7,768, respectively, net of reserves for credit losses for voyage charters and lightering contracts, which were not material.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
As of March 31, 2024, the Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $36,653 for the remainder of 2024 and $14,608 for 2025 under COAs. These estimated amounts relate to the fixed consideration of contractual minimums within the contracts based on the Company’s estimate of future services.
Note 4 — Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As management deems the exercise price for the Class A warrants of $0.01 per share to be nominal, warrant proceeds are ignored, and the shares issuable upon exercises of Class A warrants are included in the calculation of basic weighted average common shares outstanding for all periods.
The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Participating securities are defined by ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, as unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
Class A
As of March 31, 2024, there were 2,630,665 shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding RSUs and 1,478,756 shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding options, both of which are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. As of March 31, 2023, there were 3,307,804 shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding RSUs and 1,478,756 shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding options, both of which are considered to be potentially dilutive securities.
The components of the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
Schedule of Earnings Per Share
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Net income | | $ | 14,641 | | | $ | 12,139 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted average common shares outstanding: | | | | | | | | |
Class A common stock - basic | | | 71,901,503 | | | | 82,006,666 | |
Class A common stock - diluted | | | 75,159,109 | | | | 85,340,906 | |
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were dilutive equity awards outstanding covering 3,257,606 and 3,334,240 shares, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no anti-dilutive shares. Awards of 297,818 shares (related to RSUs and stock options) were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion of these awards would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Note 5 — Investment in Security to be Held to Maturity
In July 2022, the Company purchased a $15,000 U.S. Treasury Note for $14,794, with a maturity date of August 15, 2024. The U.S. Treasury Note is classified as investment in security to be held to maturity and is carried at amortized cost on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity. The amortized cost, gross unrealized loss and fair value of the U.S. Treasury Note at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was as follows:
Schedule of Fair Value of the U.S. Treasury Note
March 31, 2024 | | Amortized Cost | | | Gross Unrealized Loss | | | Fair Value | |
U.S. Treasury Note | | $ | 14,950 | | | $ | (114 | ) | | $ | 14,836 | |
| | $ | 14,950 | | | $ | (114 | ) | | $ | 14,836 | |

| | $ | 14,900 | | | $ | (148 | ) | | $ | 14,752 | |
Other-Than-Temporarily Impaired (“OTTI”)
The Company performed a quarterly review of the U.S. Treasury Note in order to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis was considered other-than-temporary in accordance with applicable guidance. At March 31, 2024, the Company determined that the unrealized loss on the U.S. Treasury Note was primarily due to increases in interest rates. Therefore, there was no OTTI loss recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value Disclosures
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Cash and cash equivalents — The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for interest-bearing deposits approximate fair value. Investments in trading securities consist of equity securities and were measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date.
U.S. Treasury Note — The fair value of the U.S. Treasury Note is based on a quoted market price in an active market.
Debt— The fair values of the publicly traded and non-public debt held by the Company are estimated based on similar instruments.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, relating to fair value measurements, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The ASC 820 fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions, based on the available information deemed best in the circumstances. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, the fair value of assets and liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, which for the liabilities described below includes the Company’s own credit risk.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Derivatives
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into contracts for the purchase and installation of equipment related to engine life cycle upgrades on the Company’s four Alaska class vessels. The contracts are denominated in euros and the Company is party to forward contracts and options to fix the dollar cost of the project. The maturity dates and amounts of the forward contracts and options correspond to the scheduled payments due under the contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company concluded that the forward contracts and options were effective at hedging the scheduled payments.
Nonfinancial Instruments that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Vessel and Intangible Assets Impairments
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company considered whether events or changes in circumstances had occurred since December 31, 2023 that could indicate whether the carrying amounts of the vessels, including operating right-of-use assets, in the Company’s fleet, and whether the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets, may not be recoverable as of March 31, 2024. The Company concluded that no such events or changes in circumstances had occurred.
Note 7 — Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3,300 and $3,321, respectively, which represented effective tax rates of 18.4% and 21.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to a benefit related to stock compensation and changes in state apportionment. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was less than the statutory rate due to a benefit related to stock compensation and tonnage tax exclusion. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was more than the statutory rate due to the state tax expense.

Note 10 — Leases
In March 2024, the Company exercised its first option to extend the bareboat charter of the Overseas Tampa with its vessel owner for a five-year option period commencing in June 2025 and ending in June 2030. Additional options to extend remain. The charter is accounted for as an operating lease. The future minimum commitments under the charter are $7,061 for the remainder of 2024, $9,371 in 2025, $9,371 in 2026, $9,371 in 2027, $9,397 in 2028 and $14,019 thereafter. For the three months ended March 2024, the Company had non-cash operating activity of approximately $34,003 for obtaining an operating right-of-use asset and liability as a result of the extension.
Charters-out
The Company is the lessor under its time charter contracts. Total time charter revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was equal to income from lease payments of $95,566 plus straight-line adjustments of $365. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, total time charter revenue was equal to income from lease payments of $84,434 less straight-line adjustments of $294. The net book value of owned vessels on noncancelable time charters was equal to $450,907 and $448,663 at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The future minimum revenues, including rent escalations, which is equal to lease payments expected to be received over the noncancelable time charters term are as follows:
Schedule of Future Minimum Commitments Operating Leases
At March 31, 2024 | | Amount | |
2024 | | $ | 294,428 | |

Revenues from a time charter are not generally received when a vessel is off-hire, including time required for normal periodic maintenance of the vessel. In arriving at the minimum future charter revenues, an estimated time off-hire to perform periodic maintenance on each vessel has been deducted, although it cannot be assured that such estimate will be reflective of the actual off-hire in the future.
Note 11 — Contingencies
The Company is a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to various suits in the ordinary course of business for monetary relief arising principally from personal injuries (including exposure to asbestos and other toxic materials), wrongful death, collision or other casualty and to claims arising under charter parties. A substantial majority of such personal injury, wrongful death, collision or other casualty claims against the Company are covered by insurance (subject to deductibles not material in amount). In the opinion of management, none of these claims, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Business Overview
OSG is a publicly traded company providing liquid bulk and energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets. OSG’s U.S. Flag fleet consists of Suezmax crude oil tankers, conventional and lightering articulated tug barges (“ATBs”), shuttle and conventional MR tankers, and non-Jones Act MR tankers that participate in the U.S. Tanker Security Program or are on time charter to the U.S. Military Sealift Command. OSG is committed to setting high standards of excellence for its quality, safety and environmental programs. OSG is recognized as one of the world’s most customer-focused marine transportation companies and is headquartered in Tampa, FL. Our revenues are derived predominantly from time charter agreements for specific periods of time at fixed daily amounts. We also charter-out vessels for specific voyages where we typically earn freight revenue at spot market rates.
The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes industry data and forecasts that we have prepared based in part on information obtained from industry publications and surveys. Third-party industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. In addition, certain statements regarding our market position in this report are based on information derived from internal market studies and research reports. Unless we state otherwise, statements about the Company’s relative competitive position in this report are based on management’s beliefs, internal studies and management’s knowledge of industry trends.
All dollar amounts are in thousands, except daily dollar amounts and per share amounts.
Operations and Oil Tanker Markets
Our revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by us and the trades in which those vessels operate. Rates for the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products are determined by market forces such as the supply and demand for oil, the distance that cargoes must be transported, and the number of vessels expected to be available at the time cargoes need to be transported. In the Jones Act trades within which the substantial majority of our vessels operate, demand factors for transportation are affected almost exclusively by supply and distribution decisions of oil producers, refiners and distributors based in the United States. Further, the demand for U.S. domestic oil shipments is significantly affected by the state of the U.S. and global economies, the level of imports into the U.S. from OPEC and other foreign producers, oil production in the United States, and the relative price differentials of U.S. produced crude oil and refined petroleum products as compared with comparable products sourced from or destined for foreign markets, including the cost of transportation on international flag vessels to or from those markets. The number of vessels is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally through storage, layup, deletions, or conversions. Our revenues are also affected by the mix of charters between spot (voyage charters which include short-term time charters) and long-term (time or bareboat charters).
The following principal developments have directly or indirectly impacted our business recently and are expected to continue to do so:
| ● | Geopolitical tensions outside of the US have severely disrupted historical trading patterns for crude oil and its refined products. Since December 2022, the EU has, in response to the war in Ukraine, banned waterborne crude oil imports from Russia, and the G7 nations have implemented price caps limiting the global price paid for Russian oil and its refined products. Other countries have stepped in to purchase these commodities at a discount to world prices. More recently, vessels transiting the Red Sea have been the target of Houthi missile and drone attacks, causing many vessels to avoid Red Sea transits and to instead make longer voyages around the Cape of Good Hope. These circumstances have collectively resulted in the redirection of crude oil and refined product trade flows and increased aggregate ton-mile demand. Although the United States was not a major importer of Russian or Persian Gulf oil, its markets have nonetheless been impacted by these global events. Historically high international freight costs have resulted from disrupted trade patterns. Supply constraints now exist in markets that were alternative supply sources competing against domestic product shipped on Jones Act tonnage. As a result, traders now seem to favor domestic product sources over overseas alternatives, giving strong support for the use of Jones Act vessels. This increase in demand has resulted in higher utilization levels and higher rates for Jones Act vessels. |
| | |
| ● | The continued impact of government policies encouraging the use of renewable fuels has driven strong demand growth for transporting renewable diesel and its feedstock components from production sources along the U.S. Gulf Coast to markets along the West Coast. California’s low carbon fuel standard regulations in particular have stimulated the use of renewable diesel, which is chemically identical to regular diesel, can be used on its own or blended with conventional diesel, and produces less carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide than conventional diesel. The Gulf Coast currently produces a significant proportion of renewable diesel, and California has been the largest consumer of this product. Marine transportation is the most cost-effective solution to move finished product to the West Coast. The length of the trip to California creates a significant increase in ton-mile demand and has created a large new market for Jones Act tankers. |
| | |
| ● | The Biden Administration in 2023 approved ConocoPhillips’ “Willow Project” in Alaska. This project, together with a previously permitted project to develop the “Pikka” discovery operated by Santos, are expected to bring on nearly 250,000 barrels per day of new crude oil production in Alaska by 2027. The promise of significant increased future production bodes well for the prospective demand for OSG’s Alaska Class tankers, which provide the most cost-effective means for delivery of North Slope crude oil to refineries located in California and Washington state. Anticipating this increase in demand, in late 2023 OSG acquired the Alaskan Frontier, sister to the other three Alaska class vessels, and contracted with engine manufacturer MAN B&W to perform life cycle upgrades on each of the engines on all four vessels. The life cycle upgrades will improve performance and fuel efficiency and also prepare the engines for possible use of methanol fuel in the future. It is expected that the fuel efficiency gain will result in 15-20% fuel savings as compared to the original engine design leading to a meaningful reduction in carbon output. The significant capital investment in the four Alaska class vessels should permit OSG to operate the vessels for a longer period of time and with lower maintenance costs for their remaining lives. |
| | |
| ● | In December 2023, OSG was awarded a $400 thousand grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) to study the development of its proposed Tampa Regional Intermodal Carbon Hub (“T-RICH”). The study is an important step towards realizing the potential for participating in an emerging market for managing the transport and sequestration of captured carbon dioxide (“CO2”). The study will evaluate the commercial feasibility of developing an intermediate storage hub at Port Tampa Bay for CO2 captured from industrial emitters across the State of Florida. As conceived, T-RICH would receive, store, and process, initially, two million metric tons of CO2 per year, which would be transported by OSG vessels across the Gulf of Mexico for permanent underground storage. T-RICH would be the first of its kind in the nation and could be scaled in the future to meet expanded volumes of captured CO2. |
| | |
| ● | In April 2024, OSG was awarded a $3.0 million grant from the DOE for the engineering and design of a new vessel that will transport liquified CO2. The award will be used to develop the design of an ATB to provide a marine transport solution for captured CO2 aggregated at the T-RICH hub terminal in Tampa, to be shipped in liquified form to developed, approved sequestration sites in the northern Gulf of Mexico region. |
Having our vessels committed on time charters is a fundamental objective of our chartering strategy. We seek to have a majority of available vessel operating days covered with time charters or contracts of affreightment, but if such charters are not remunerative, or prove unachievable under certain market conditions, some of our vessels may operate in the spot market, which is more volatile and less predictable. Because shipping revenues and voyage expenses are significantly affected by the mix between voyage charters and time charters, we manage our vessels based on time charter equivalent (“TCE”) revenues and rates, which are non-GAAP measures.
Continued lack of available tonnage in the first quarter of 2024 contributed to minimal spot activity for Jones Act tankers and ATBs. Charterers have been increasing the duration of new time charter contracts to secure tonnage for multi-year periods. There were few vessels available in the spot market and total spot activity decreased from 11 spot fixtures in the first quarter of 2023 to seven spot fixtures in the first quarter of 2024. All seven spot fixtures were performed by ATBs.
Our vessels were employed for 97% of available days during the first quarter of 2024, with 45 of a total 1,503 available days (excluding 44 days vessels were off-hire due to drydock requirements) seeing vessels idle without employment. Industry-wide, there were no firm Jones Act construction orders as of March 31, 2024.
Delaware Bay lightering volumes averaged 90,000 b/d in in the first quarter of 2024 compared with 82,000 b/d in the first quarter of 2023. We have contract minimums with our refinery customers that compensate us for barrels not lightered below minimum amounts.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the Company to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates disclosed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2023.
Results of Vessel Operations
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, shipping revenues increased by $3,706, or 3.3%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase primarily resulted from (a) an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet, (b) an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes and (c) a 5-day decrease in repair days. The increase was moderated by a 22-day increase in drydock days.
Reconciliation of TCE revenues, a non-GAAP measure, to shipping revenues as reported in the consolidated statements of operations follows:

During the first quarter of 2024, TCE revenues increased by $5,957, or 5.7%, to $110,692 from $104,735 in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in TCE revenues was primarily driven by the increase in shipping revenues explained above and the decrease in voyage expenses explained below.
Voyage expenses decreased by $2,251, or 24.9%, in the first quarter of 2024 to $6,805 compared to $9,056 in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to decreases in port and fuel expenses, as our vessels performed fewer voyage charters during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Vessel expenses decreased by $533, or 1.3%, in the first quarter of 2024 to $42,038 compared to $42,571 in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to a decrease in repair and spares costs.
Charter hire expenses increased by $1,081, or 6.9%, to $16,818 in 2024 from $15,737 in 2023. The increase primarily resulted from the change in accounting treatment due to the reclassification of the Overseas Key West lease as an operating lease from a finance lease.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1,946, or 12.1%, to $17,994 in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $16,048 in the first quarter of 2023. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in amortization of drydock costs.
Two of our U.S. Flag Product Carriers participated in the Maritime Security Program (“MSP”) during the first quarter of 2023. The stipend received was $1,325 for each vessel.
In April 2023, three of our vessels were accepted into the Tanker Security Program (“TSP”). We transferred the two non-Jones Act U.S. Flag Product Carriers that had been participating in the MSP into the TSP and added the Overseas Sun Coast, which was converted to U.S. Flag status in January 2023, to participate in the program.
In June 2023, Military Sealift Command (“MSC”) awarded one of the vessels that had been in the TSP, the Overseas Mykonos, a time charter contract to provide ongoing fuel transportation services to MSC in support of our nation’s defense. The time charter awarded is for a one-year base period with MSC holding additional option periods to extend the contract out to a maximum period of five- and one-half years. The Overseas Mykonos was delivered to MSC in August 2023.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received $3,000 under the TSP. Under the terms of the TSP, we expect to receive up to $6,000 for each vessel in 2024. We do not receive a stipend for any days exceeding 180 days for which the vessels operate under a time charter to a U.S. government agency.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $2,511, or 32.0%, to $10,354 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $7,843 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher compensation and benefits costs related to an increase in headcount and higher compensation levels. Additionally, general and administrative expenses increased due to an increase in legal expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net was $1,235 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with $1,080 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in other income, net was primarily due to investment income earned on our investment accounts at higher interest rates year over year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $6,782 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with $8,156 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a lower average balance of debt outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 and an increase in interest capitalized due to vessel improvement projects.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3,300 and $3,321, respectively, which represented effective tax rates of 18.4% and 21.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to a benefit related to stock compensation and changes in state apportionment. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was less than the statutory rate due to a benefit related to stock compensation and tonnage tax exclusion. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was more than the statutory rate due to the state tax expense.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Our business is capital intensive. Our ability to successfully implement our strategy is dependent on the continued availability of capital on attractive terms. In addition, our ability to successfully operate our business to meet near-term and long-term debt repayment obligations is dependent on maintaining sufficient liquidity.
Liquidity
Working capital at March 31, 2024 was approximately $(58,000) compared with approximately $(55,000) at December 31, 2023. Excluding the current portion of operating lease liabilities, working capital was approximately $7,000 at March 31, 2024 compared to approximately $10,000 at December 31, 2023. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to an increase in current installments of long-term debt as our Alaska tankers term loan, due 2025, matures on March 12, 2025. This loan, along with our term loan, due 2024, which matures on September 30, 2024, totaling $37,519, are included in current installments of long-term debt at March 31, 2024. Also, working capital decreases due to a decrease in receivables related to the timing of collections from our customers. The decrease in working capital was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities as a result of our payout of the Alaska Tanker Company deferred compensation plan of $6,661 and timing of accounts payable payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 and an increase in cash and cash equivalents as we generated cash flow from operations during the current year.
As of March 31, 2024, we had total liquidity on a consolidated basis comprised of $97,153 of cash and cash equivalents. We manage our cash in accordance with our intercompany cash management system. Our cash and cash equivalents generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. We place our cash and cash equivalents in what we believe to be credit-worthy financial institutions. In addition, certain of our money market accounts invest in U.S. Treasury securities or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies.
As of March 31, 2024, we had total debt outstanding (net of deferred financing costs) of $394,420 and a total debt to total capitalization of 52.1%, compared to $400,711 and 53.1%, respectively, at December 31, 2023.
Sources, Uses and Management of Capital
We generate significant cash flows through our complementary mix of time charters, voyage charters and contracts of affreightment. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $24,743. In addition to operating cash flows, our other current potential sources of funds are proceeds from additional issuances of equity securities, additional borrowings, and proceeds from the opportunistic sales of our vessels. In the past, we have also obtained funds from the issuance of long-term debt securities. However, we can give no assurance as to whether or the terms on which we may be able to issue equity or debt securities, obtain additional borrowings, or sell vessels.
We use capital to fund working capital requirements, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with U.S. and international shipping standards, and repay our outstanding loan facilities. We also use capital to comply with environmental laws and regulations, and we expect that the costs of such compliance will continue to increase; while it is not possible to determine the amounts of such costs for any future period, we believe that they are likely to be substantial. We may also use cash generated by operations to finance capital expenditures to modernize and grow our fleet.
In March 2024 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share on its Class A common stock. Pursuant to such dividend declaration, the Company made dividend payments in April 2024 totaling $4,350, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024.
Also, in March 2024, we exercised our first option to extend the bareboat charter of the Overseas Tampa with its vessel owner for a five-year option period commencing in June 2025 and ending in June 2030. Additional options to extend remain. The charter is accounted for as an operating lease. The future minimum commitments under the charter are $7,061 for the remainder of 2024, $9,371 in 2025, $9,371 in 2026, $9,371 in 2027, $9,397 in 2028 and $14,019 thereafter. For the three months ended March 2024, the Company had non-cash operating activity of approximately $34,003 for obtaining an operating right-of-use asset and liability as a result of the extension.
