(1) Expected Revenue
Days are the total number of calendar days in the quarter for each
vessel, less the total number of expected off-hire days during the
period associated with major repairs or drydockings. Consequently,
Expected Revenue Days represent the total number of days the vessel
is expected to be available to earn revenue. Idle days, which are
days when a vessel is available to earn revenue, yet is not
employed, are included in revenue days. The Company uses revenue
days to show changes in net vessel revenues between periods.

In January 2025, the Company successfully placed $200.0 million of
new senior unsecured bonds in the Nordic bond market (the
“Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030”). The Unsecured Senior Notes Due
2030 are due to mature in January 2030 and bear interest at a fixed
coupon rate of 7.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears.
The net proceeds from the bond issue are expected to be used to
redeem the Company’s existing Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025 and
for general corporate purposes.
-
In January 2025, the Company gave notice of redemption for the
Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025. The Company expects to redeem the
Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025, which were scheduled to mature on
June 30, 2025, in March 2025.
- In January 2025, the Company
invested an additional $42.4 million to increase its ownership of
common shares of DHT Holdings Inc. (“DHT”), a publicly traded crude
tanker shipping company which owns a fleet of 27 Very Large Crude
Carriers. The Company owns approximately 7% of the outstanding
common shares of DHT as of the date of this press release. This
investment reflects the Company's constructive outlook in this
sector.
-
In February 2025, the Company executed a revolving credit facility
of up to $500.0 million with a group of financial institutions (the
"2025 $500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility"). The 2025 $500.0
Million Revolving Credit Facility is a 100% revolving loan, which
has a final maturity of seven years from the signing date and gives
the Company the flexibility to draw down or repay the loan during
the loan tenor. The 2025 $500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility
bears interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.85% per annum for any
drawn amounts and a commitment fee of 0.74% per annum applies for
any undrawn amounts. The 2025 $500.0 Million Revolving Credit
Facility is collateralized by 26 product tankers and will
amortize/reduce in quarterly installments (starting after the
second anniversary of the signing date), with a balloon payment due
at maturity.
-
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company closed on the sale
of two 2014-built, scrubber-fitted, MR product tankers, STI San
Antonio and STI Texas City, for $42.5 million per vessel, and one
2019-built, scrubber-fitted, LR2 product tanker, STI Lily, for
$73.5 million. The Company did not make any debt repayments for the
sales of STI San Antonio and STI Texas City as (i) STI San Antonio
was replaced by STI Memphis as collateral on the 2023 $225.0
Million Credit Facility and (ii) STI Texas City was released from
the collateral package on the 2023 $117.4 Million Credit Facility
given the sufficient headroom under the leverage covenant with the
six remaining collateralized vessels under the facility. The
Company repaid $22.9 million on the 2023 $1.0 Billion Credit
Facility prior to the closing of the sale of STI Lily.
-
In September 2024, the Company entered into a three-year time
charter-out agreement for the 2018-built MR product tanker, STI
Jardins, for $29,550 per day. This vessel is not scrubber-fitted
and the time charter commenced in October 2024.

open market at an average price of $72.11 per share.
There is $173.5 million available under the 2023
Securities Repurchase Program as of February 12, 2025.
Diluted Weighted Number of
Shares

determined by taking into consideration the potentially dilutive
shares arising from the Company’s equity incentive plan. These
potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of
earnings per share to the extent they are anti-dilutive.
For the three months and year ended December 31,
2024, the Company’s basic weighted average number of shares
outstanding were 46,335,812 and 48,544,137, respectively. For the
three months and year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s
diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding were
48,020,815 and 50,874,322, respectively, which included the
potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the
Company’s equity incentive plan.

(1) In July 2024, the Company amended its
2023 $225.0 Million Credit Facility to convert this credit facility
from a term loan to a revolving credit facility. The amendment
gives the Company the flexibility to make unscheduled repayments on
this facility that can be re-drawn in the future. The outstanding
amount and/or availability of the revolving credit facility
continues to amortize quarterly under the same schedule as the
original term loan. As of February 11, 2025, there have been no
prepayments and there is no drawdown availability on this
facility.
(2) In October 2024, the Company prepaid
$22.9 million on the 2023 $1.0 Billion Credit Facility related to
STI Lily, which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2024. This debt
repayment did not impact the undrawn amount of $288.2 million that
is currently available under the revolving portion of this
facility.
(3) In January 2025, the Company gave
notice of redemption for the Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025. The
Company expects to redeem the Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025,
which were scheduled to mature on June 30, 2025, in March 2025.
(4) In January 2025, the Company
successfully placed $200.0 million of new senior unsecured bonds in
the Nordic bond market (the “Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030”). The
Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030 are due to mature in January 2030
and bear interest at a fixed coupon rate of 7.50% per annum,
payable semi-annually in arrears. The net proceeds from the bond
issue are expected to be used to redeem the Company’s existing
Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025 and for general corporate
purposes.
The Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030 contain
certain financial covenants, including (i) a minimum consolidated
tangible net worth of not less than $1.0 billion, (ii) minimum
liquidity of no less than the greater of (a) $25.0 million and (b)
$500,000 per each owned vessel and $250,000 per each time
chartered-in vessel, and (iii) the ratio of net debt to total
capitalization of no greater than 0.70 to 1.00.
Additionally, the Company must maintain minimum liquidity (which
includes undrawn amounts under revolving credit facilities with a
remaining maturity date in excess of 12 months) of $100.0 million
after making any distributions in the form of dividends or stock
repurchases.
(5) In February 2025, the Company executed
the 2025 $500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility. There is $500.0
million available to be drawn on this facility as of the date of
this press release. The 2025 $500.0 Million Revolving Credit
Facility is a 100% revolving loan, which has a final maturity of
seven years from the signing date and gives the Company the
flexibility to draw down or repay the loan during the loan tenor.
The 2025 $500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at
SOFR plus a margin of 1.85% per annum for any drawn amounts and a
commitment fee of 0.74% per annum applies for any undrawn amounts.
The 2025 $500.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized
by 26 product tankers and will amortize/reduce in quarterly
installments (starting after the second anniversary of the signing
date) with a balloon payment due at maturity. The remaining terms
and conditions, including financial covenants, are similar to those
set forth in the Company’s existing credit facilities.
Set forth below are the estimated expected
future principal repayments on the Company's outstanding
indebtedness, which includes principal amounts due under the
Company's secured credit facilities, lease financing arrangements,
Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2025 and Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030
(which also include actual scheduled payments made from January 1,
2025 through February 11, 2025):

Explanation of Variances on the Fourth
Quarter of 2024 Financial Results Compared to the Fourth Quarter of
2023
For the three months ended December 31, 2024,
the Company recorded net income of $68.6 million compared to net
income of $120.9 million for the three months ended December 31,
2023. The following were the significant changes between the two
periods:
-
TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage
expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is
included herein because it is a standard shipping industry
performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period
changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes
in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyages, time charters, and
pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and
management. The following table sets forth TCE revenue for the
three months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023:

by $141.9 million to $192.1 million, from $334.1 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2023. Overall, the average daily
TCE revenue decreased to $21,978 per vessel during the three months
ended December 31, 2024, from $32,949 per vessel during the three
months ended December 31, 2023. The average number of vessels was
100.9 during the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared
to 111.5 during the three months ended December 31, 2023.
-
TCE revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 declined
as compared to the same period in the previous year. This was
mainly attributable to elevated refinery maintenance in the Middle
East, lower global refining margins, and declines in imports into
Europe, all of which resulted in a decline in seaborne volumes for
refined petroleum products as compared to the same period in the
prior year. While the cannibalization of refined petroleum product
cargoes by larger crude tankers eased in the fourth quarter,
elevated refinery maintenance reduced trading activity and volumes
for LR2s as capacity went offline, leading to a lower rate
environment for this vessel class. Moreover, the strength in MR
rates out of the U.S. Gulf and Asia during the fourth quarter was
offset by weakness in Europe due to declines in imports of refined
products, which kept overall rates suppressed. Additionally, the
decrease in TCE revenue was also attributable to a decrease in the
average number of vessels in the Company's fleet during each
period. The Company closed on the sales of 11 MRs and one LR2
product tanker throughout 2024.
-
TCE revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023 reflected
a normalized seasonal pattern whereby demand increased as the
northern hemisphere entered into the winter months. This increase
was partially offset by elevated refinery maintenance in the U.S.,
Middle East and Asia which led to a slight reduction in seaborne
volumes. Demand for the Company’s vessels was robust in the fourth
quarter of 2023, driven by growing underlying consumption for
refined petroleum products set against the backdrop of a modest
newbuilding orderbook.
-
Vessel operating costs for the three months ended December 31, 2024
decreased by $3.1 million to $80.8 million, from $83.9 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in vessel
operating costs was primarily driven by a decrease in the average
number of vessels due to the sales of 11 MRs and one LR2 product
tanker throughout 2024. This decrease was partially offset by an
increase in average daily vessel operating costs to $8,708 per
vessel for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $8,181 per
vessel for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase
was primarily due to higher costs for repairs and maintenance,
spare parts and compounded by the disruption in trading patterns
that has impacted the costs of sourcing and transporting spare
parts. In the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023,
crewing expenses included $1.8 million and $2.0 million,
respectively, allocated to a provident fund dedicated to the
Company’s seafarers.
-
Depreciation expense – owned or sale leaseback vessels for the
three months ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $3.3 million to
$45.2 million, from $48.6 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2023. Depreciation - right of use assets also
decreased by $2.1 million over the same period. This combined
decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the average
number of owned vessels to 100.9 during the three months ended
December 31, 2024 compared to 111.5 during the three months ended
December 31, 2023, resulting from the sales of 11 MRs and one LR2
product tanker throughout 2024.
-
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 2024 decreased by $8.3 million to $23.9 million, from
$32.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The
three months ended December 31, 2023 reflects a one-time non-cash
charge of $8.4 million for the acceleration of restricted stock
amortization which was triggered by the departure of the Company’s
former CFO in October 2023. Additionally, non-cash restricted stock
amortization increased during the three months ended December 31,
2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year resulting
primarily from grants made in the second quarter of 2024. This
increase was offset by an aggregate decrease in compensation
related costs.
-
Financial expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024
decreased by $27.9 million to $18.3 million, from $46.3 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was
primarily attributable to the overall reduction in interest expense
on debt and sale leaseback arrangements due to the Company's
deleveraging efforts over the past twelve months. The Company's
average indebtedness decreased to $0.9 billion during the three
months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $1.7 billion during
the three months ended December 31, 2023. Additionally:
-
The Company recorded $0.5 million of debt extinguishment costs and
write-offs of deferred financing fees during the three months ended
December 31, 2024, as compared to $7.3 million during the three
months ended December 31, 2023.
-
The amortization of deferred financing fees was $1.5 million during
the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $2.8
million during the three months ended December 31, 2023.
-
Dividend income and fair value loss on financial assets measured at
fair value through profit or loss, net includes $1.8 million of
dividends received from the Company's investment in DHT offset by
an unrealized loss of $13.9 million in the value of this investment
as of December 31, 2024.

Freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry in
terms of time charter equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is
calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and
port charges, from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time
charter equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the
period. Revenue days are the number of days vessels are part of the
fleet less the number of days vessels are off-hire for drydock and
repairs. |
|
|
|
(3) |
|
Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs
divided by the number of operating days during the period.
Operating days are the total number of available days in a period
with respect to vessels that are owned, operating under a lease
financing arrangement, or bareboat chartered-in, before deducting
available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating
days is a measurement that is only applicable to vessels that are
owned, operating under a lease financing arrangement, or bareboat
chartered-in, not time chartered-in vessels. |

Non-IFRS Measures
Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS
Financial Information
This press release describes time charter
equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss,
and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance
with IFRS ("Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are
presented in this press release as we believe that they provide
investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our
lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the
Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance.
These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from,
as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS.
The Company believes that the presentation of
TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or
loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful
to investors or other users of our financial statements, such as
our lenders, because they facilitate the comparability and the
evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the
Company believes that TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with
adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and
adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance
compared to that of other companies in the Company’s industry. The
Company’s definitions of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss
with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and
adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies
in the shipping industry or other industries.
TCE revenue, on a historical basis, is
reconciled above in the section entitled "Explanation of Variances
on the Fourth Quarter of 2024 Financial Results Compared to the
Fourth Quarter of 2023". The Company has not provided a
reconciliation of forward-looking TCE revenue because the most
directly comparable IFRS measure on a forward-looking basis is not
available to the Company without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may
constitute forward‐looking statements. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for
forward‐looking statements in order to encourage companies to
provide prospective information about their business.
Forward‐looking statements include statements concerning plans,
objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and
underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than
statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take
advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary
statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The
words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend,"
"plan," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "will," "would,"
"could" and similar expressions identify forward‐looking
statements.
The forward‐looking statements in this press
release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are
based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without
limitation, management’s examination of historical operating
trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data
available from third parties. Although management believes that
these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these
assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are
beyond the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that the
Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or
projections. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically
declines any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly
update or revise any forward‐looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to these important factors, other
important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward‐looking statements include unforeseen liabilities, future
capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies,
economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses,
future prospects, business and management strategies in response to
epidemics and other public health concerns including any effect on
demand for petroleum products and the transportation thereof,
expansion and growth of the Company’s operations, risks relating to
the integration of assets or operations of entities that it has or
may in the future acquire and the possibility that the anticipated
synergies and other benefits of such acquisitions may not be
realized within expected timeframes or at all, the failure of
counterparties to fully perform their contracts with the Company,
the strength of world economies and currencies, general market
conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel
values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in
the Company’s operating expenses, including bunker prices,
drydocking and insurance costs, the market for the Company’s
vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter
counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply
with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in
governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory
authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation,
general domestic and international political conditions, including
the impact of the conflict in Ukraine and the developments in the
Middle East, including the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas,
potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or
political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off‐hires,
and other factors. Please see the Company's filings with the SEC
for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks
and uncertainties.
