NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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”), including Alaska Tanker Company (“ATC”) as of its March 12, 2020 acquisition date. 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.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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. 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 and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other interim period.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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, 2019 (“Form 10-K”).

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world. The spread of COVID-19 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets and there is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is a dynamic and continuously evolving phenomenon and the ultimate severity of the outbreak, and its effect on the Company’s business in the future, is uncertain.

 

Note 2 — Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends ASC 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard on December 31, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which adds a new Topic 326 and removes the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables, and held-to maturity debt securities. Under current U.S. GAAP, entities generally recognize credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The revised guidance will remove all recognition thresholds and will require entities to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that the entity expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which allows a two-bucket approach for determining the effective dates of these accounting standards. Under this approach, the buckets would be defined as follows:

 

Bucket 1— All public business entities (“PBEs”) that are SEC filers (as defined in U.S. GAAP), excluding smaller reporting companies (“SRCs”) (as defined by the SEC). The credit losses standard became effective January 1, 2020.

 

Bucket 2— All other entities, including SRCs, other PBEs that are not SEC filers, private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans. The credit losses standard are to become effective January 1, 2023.

 

At the annual evaluation date on June 30, 2019, the Company met the SEC definition of a smaller reporting company. Accordingly, the Company plans to adopt the credit losses standard on January 1, 2023. Management is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations, and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2021. Management is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Note 3 - Revenue Recognition

 

Shipping Revenues

 

Time Charter Revenues

 

The Company enters into time charter contracts under which a customer pays a fixed daily or monthly rate for a fixed period of time for use of a vessel. The Company recognizes revenues from time charters as operating leases ratably over the noncancellable contract term. Customers generally pay voyage expenses such as fuel, canal tolls and port charges. The Company also provides the charterer with services such as technical management expenses and crew costs. While there are lease and service (non-lease) components related to time charter contracts, the predominant component of the contract is the charterer’s lease of the vessel. The non-lease components of the contract have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the underlying lease component; therefore, the Company applies the practical expedient of combining lease and non-lease components and recognizes revenue related to this service ratably over the life of the contract term.

 

Voyage Charter Revenues

 

The Company enters into voyage charter contracts, under which the customer pays a transportation charge (voyage freight) for the movement of a specific cargo between two or more specified ports. The Company’s performance obligation under voyage charters, which consists of moving cargo from a load port to a discharge port, is satisfied over time. Accordingly, under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from voyage charters ratably over the estimated length of each voyage, calculated on a load-to-discharge basis. The transaction price is in the form of a fixed fee at contract inception, which is the transportation charge. Voyage charter contracts also include variable consideration primarily in the form of demurrage, which is additional revenue the Company receives for delays experienced in loading or unloading cargo that are not deemed to be the responsibility of the Company. The Company does not include demurrage in the transaction price for voyage charters since it is highly susceptible to factors outside the Company’s influence. Examples of when demurrage is incurred include unforeseeable weather conditions and security regulations at ports. The uncertainty related to this variable consideration is resolved upon the completion of the voyage, the duration of which is generally less than 30 days.

U.S. Maritime Security Program

 

Two of the Company’s U.S. Flag Product Carriers participate in the U.S. Maritime Security Program (“MSP”), which is designed to ensure that privately-owned, military-useful U.S. Flag vessels are available to the U.S. Department of Defense in the event of war or national emergency. The Company considers the MSP contract with the U.S. government a service arrangement under ASC 606. Under this arrangement, the Company receives an annual operating-differential subsidy pursuant to the Merchant Marine Act of 1936 for each participating vessel, subject in each case to annual congressional appropriations. The subsidy is intended to reimburse owners for the additional costs of operating U.S. Flag vessels; therefore, the Company has presented this subsidy as an offset to vessel expenses.

 

Contracts of Affreightment

 

The Company enters into contracts of affreightment (each a “COA”) to provide transportation services between specified points for a stated quantity of cargo over a specific time period, but without designating voyage schedules. The Company has COA arrangements to provide for lightering services and other arrangements based on the number of voyages. These contracts are service contracts within the scope of ASC 606 for which the underlying performance obligation is satisfied as a series of distinct services.

 

The Company’s COAs include minimum purchase requirements from customers that are expressed in either fixed monthly barrels, annual minimum barrel volume requirements or annual minimum number of voyages to complete. The Company is required to transport and the charterer is required to provide the Company with a minimum volume requirement. These contract minimums represent fixed consideration within the contract which is recognized as the distinct services of delivering barrels or voyages are performed in the series over time. The Company will adjust revenue recognized for any minimum volume unexercised right.

 

COAs provide the charterer with the opportunity to purchase additional transportation services above the minimum. If this is not considered a material right, the Company recognizes revenue related to the additional services at the contractual rate as the product is transferred over time. If the additional transportation service is considered a material right, the Company applies the practical alternative of allocating the transaction price to the material right. As a result, the Company may recognize revenue related to COAs at an amount different from the invoiced amount if the Company’s estimated volume to be transported under the contract exceeds the contractual minimum.

 

At June 30, 2020, the Company did not have deferred revenue related to the Company’s COAs.

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. Consequently, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

 

Schedule of Disaggregation of Revenue 

  

Three Months Ended

June 30,

  

Six Months Ended

June 30,

 
   2020   2019   2020   2019 
Time and bareboat charter revenues  $96,662   $62,007   $174,812   $125,127 
Voyage charter revenues(1)   9,423    6,150    20,892    13,784 
Contracts of affreightment revenues   8,454    20,302    19,694    37,286 
Total shipping revenues  $114,539   $88,459   $215,398   $176,197 

 

(1) Voyage charter revenues include approximately $3,946 and $3,088 of revenue related to short-term time charter contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $15,265 and $3,858 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Voyage Receivables

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, contract balances from contracts with customers consisted of voyage receivables, including unbilled receivables, of $4,726 and $5,831, respectively, net of reserve for doubtful accounts for voyage charters and lightering contracts. For voyage charters, voyage freight is due to the Company upon completion of discharge at the last discharge port. For lightering contracts, the Company invoices the customer monthly based on the actual barrels of cargo lightered. The Company routinely reviews its voyage receivables and makes provisions for probable doubtful accounts; however, those provisions are estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences may be material. Voyage receivables are removed from accounts receivable and the reserve for doubtful accounts when they are deemed uncollectible. The Company deems voyage receivables uncollectible when the Company has exhausted collection efforts.

 

Costs to Fulfill a Contract

 

Under ASC 606, for voyage charters and contracts of affreightment, the Company capitalizes the direct costs, which are voyage expenses, of relocating the vessel to the load port and amortizes those costs during transport of the cargo. At June 30, 2020, the costs related to voyages that were not yet completed were not material.

 

Additionally, these contracts include out-of-pocket expense (i.e. fuel, port charges, canal tolls) incurred by the Company in fulfilling its performance obligations, which are reimbursed by the charterer at cost. The reimbursement for these fulfillment costs are included in the Company’s estimated transaction price for the contract and recognized as revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

 

As of June 30, 2020, there was an aggregate of $22,929 of revenue under COAs that the Company will be entitled to by providing services in the future. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $19,134 in 2020 and $3,795 in 2021 under these contracts. These estimated amounts relate to the fixed consideration of contractual minimums within the contracts based on the Company’s estimate of future services.

 

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

 

The Company’s voyage charter contracts and some of the Company’s COAs have an original expected duration of one year or less; therefore, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, which permits the Company to not disclose the portion of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations within these COAs.

 

The Company expenses broker commissions for voyage charters, which are costs of obtaining a contract, as they are incurred because the amortization period is less than one year or are otherwise amortized as the underlying performance obligation is satisfied. The Company records these costs within voyage expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Note 4 — Earnings per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing earnings, after the deduction of dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, 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 Class A warrant exercise 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. 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 June 30, 2020, there were 2,645,025 shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding restricted stock units 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 June 30, 2019, there were 1,718,865 shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding restricted stock units 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:

 

  

Three Months Ended

June 30,

  

Six Months Ended

June 30,

 
   2020   2019   2020   2019 
Net income  $6,380   $(1,738)  $31,505   $1,458 
                     
Weighted average common shares outstanding:                    
Class A common stock - basic   89,747,630    89,245,696    89,584,969    89,125,986 
Class A common stock - diluted   90,812,332    89,245,696    90,600,658    89,507,860 

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, there were dilutive equity awards outstanding covering 1,064,702 shares, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were dilutive equity awards outstanding covering 1,015,689 and 381,874 shares, respectively. Awards of 371,893 shares (which are related to stock options) for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion of these awards would be anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, awards of 1,419,325 shares (which include restricted stock units and stock options) were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion of these awards would be anti-dilutive.

Note 5 — 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 and restricted cash— 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.

 

Debt— The fair values of the Company’s publicly traded and non-public debt are estimated based on quoted market prices.

 

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 developed based on the best information available 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

Nonfinancial Instruments that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

Vessel and Intangible Assets Impairments

 

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company considered whether events or changes in circumstances had occurred since December 31, 2019 that could indicate the carrying amounts of the vessels in the Company’s fleet and the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets may not be recoverable as of June 30, 2020.

The Company concluded that no such events or changes in circumstances had occurred for its intangible assets at June 30, 2020.

 

During the second quarter of 2020 the Company established basic terms to sell for scrap the OSG 244, one of the Company’s barges. Based on the negotiated sale terms, the Company recorded a loss, which was not material and included in loss on disposal of vessels and other property, including impairments, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, on the planned disposition of this barge.

 

Note 6 — Taxes

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an income tax (provision)/benefit of $(1,044) and $773, respectively, which represented effective tax rates of 14% and 31%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an income tax (provision)/benefit of $(7,404) and $381, respectively, which represented effective tax rates of 19% and (35)%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 was substantially due to a significant reduction in state income tax, as well as, the tonnage tax exclusion under the Internal Revenue Code. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the establishment of deductible expenses related to Code Section 162(m) in the first quarter of 2019 causing a more favorable discrete adjustment compared to pretax income. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was less than the statutory rate due to discrete tax benefits recorded relating to state benefit resulting from the Alaska Tanker Company acquisition, interest related to an alternative minimum tax refund and the tonnage tax exclusion. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was less than the statutory rate due to the discrete tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2019 relating to Code Section 162(m) deductible expenses and the tonnage tax exclusion.

 

On March 27, 2020, H.R. 748, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the “CARES Act”, was signed into law. The CARES Act includes tax provisions relevant to businesses that will impact taxes related to 2018, 2019 and 2020. Some of the significant changes are to increase the limitation on deductible business interest expense for 2019 and 2020, allow for the five year carryback of net operating losses for 2018-2020, suspend the 80% limitation of taxable income for net operating loss carryforwards for 2018-2020, the acceleration of depreciation expense from 2018 forward on qualified improvement property, and acceleration of the ability to claim refunds of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards. The Company is required to recognize the effect on the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the law was enacted, which is 2020. At this time, the Company does not expect the CARES Act to have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision as any effect will be a reclassification between net operating losses and the affected deferred tax assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a non-current reserve for uncertain tax positions of $891 and $864, respectively.

 

Note 7 — Investment in Alaska Tanker Company, LLC

 

At December 31, 2019, the Company had a 37.5% interest in Alaska Tanker Company, LLC (“ATC”), a joint venture that was formed in 1999 among OSG America Operating Co LLC, Keystone Shipping Company and subsidiaries of British Petroleum (“BP”). Each member of ATC was entitled to receive its respective share of incentive charter hire related to time charter contracts in ATC with a minimum term ending in December 2023.

 

In December 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with BP to purchase three U.S.-flagged crude oil carrier vessels (Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator) for total cash consideration of $54,000, which was financed by borrowing $54,000 under a five-year term loan as discussed in Note 12, “Debt”.

In connection with the purchase of the vessels from BP, the Company agreed to time charter arrangements with BP for terms of 2.5 years to 6.4 years at a fixed daily rate with an annual escalation and five renewal options for one year each. The time charter arrangements are treated as operating leases under ASC 842. The Company also entered into a bareboat charter with BP for a fourth vessel, the Alaskan Frontier, which is currently in layup. In connection with these transactions, the Company also acquired the remaining equity ownership of ATC, making ATC a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company accounted for the purchase of the three vessels and remaining equity ownership interest in ATC collectively as an asset acquisition, with substantially all the fair value of the acquisition attributed to the three vessels purchased from BP. The pre-existing ATC arrangements with a minimum term through December 2023 were terminated, and a non-cash gain equal to the value of the remaining arrangement of $19,172 was recognized, with a corresponding increase in the value of the vessels acquired from BP in a manner consistent with how ASC 805, Business Combinations, would be applied to the settlement of a pre-existing arrangement.

 

As part of the acquisition of ATC, the Company assumed liabilities of $9,898 related to pension and postretirement plans. The postretirement medical and life insurance plan provides benefits to shore-based employees and nonunion licensed deck officers at least 55 years of age with 10 years or more of service, as defined. The plan was frozen as of December 31, 2016 and closed to new entrants as of January 1, 2017. The Company also contributes to six multiemployer defined benefit pension plans, two of which comprise the majority of current year contributions and employee coverage: the MEBA Pension Plan - Defined Benefit Plan and the Seafarers Pension Plan. The Company’s withdrawal obligation on the multi-employer plans, which is unrecorded, is approximately $9,000.

 

The Company also assumed liabilities of $8,812 related to deferred compensation. The deferred compensation plan is an unfunded, nonqualified plan that allows eligible employees to defer up to 100% of their performance bonuses or defer up to 50% (5% minimum) of their salary, select investments for their deferral balances and determine when to be paid out. Eligible employees can elect to receive payment either on a specified date, or on a specified date after termination of employment, and either in a lump sum or annual installments, with a maximum deferral period of 20 years. Expected timing of payout is greater than one year and therefore classified as long-term.

 

Note 8 — Capital Stock and Stock Compensation

 

Share and Warrant Repurchases

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), the Company withheld 104,552 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $1.90 per share (based on the market prices on the dates of vesting) from certain members of management to cover withholding taxes.

 

Warrant Conversions

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 378 shares of Class A common stock as a result of the exercise of 1,998 Class A warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 195,413 shares of Class A common stock as a result of the exercise of 1,034,368 Class A warrants.

 

Stock Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock compensation expense in accordance with the fair value-based method required by ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This method requires share-based payment transactions to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

Director Compensation Restricted Stock Units

 

On May 28, 2020, the Company awarded 321,000 time-based RSUs to its non-employee directors. The grant date fair value of these awards was $2.25 per RSU. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock upon vesting. These RSUs vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to each director continuing to provide services to the Company through such date.

 

Management CompensationRestricted Stock Units and Stock Options

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company granted 764,406 RSUs to its employees, including senior officers. The grant date fair value of these awards was $2.03 per RSU. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock upon vesting. Each award of RSUs will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company awarded 582,224 performance-based RSUs to its senior officers. Each performance-based RSU represents a contingent right to receive RSUs based upon continuous employment through the end of a three-year performance period and will vest as follows: (i) one-half of the target RSUs will vest and become nonforfeitable subject to OSG’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance in the three-year ROIC performance period relative to a target rate (the “ROIC Target”) set forth in the award agreements (which define ROIC as net operating profit after taxes divided by the net of total debt plus shareholders equity less cash); and (ii) one–half of the target RSUs will be subject to OSG’s three–year total shareholder return (“TSR Target”) performance relative to that of a performance index over a three–year TSR performance period. The index consists of companies that comprise a combination of the oil and gas storage and transportation and marine GICS sub-industries indexes during the performance period. Vesting is subject in each case to certification by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Directors as to achievement of the performance measures and targets.

 

The ROIC Target RSU awards and the TSR Target RSU awards are subject to an increase of up to a maximum of 291,112 target RSUs combined (873,340 RSUs in total) or decrease, depending on performance against the applicable measure and targets. The ROIC performance goal is a performance condition which, as of June 30, 2020, management believed was probable of being achieved. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, compensation costs have been recognized for these awards. The grant date fair value of the TSR based performance awards, which have a market condition, was determined to be $2.03 per RSU.

Note 10 — Leases

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had non-cash operating activities of $1,533 for obtaining operating right-of-use assets and liabilities.

 

Charters-in

 

On March 12, 2020, the Company commenced a bareboat charter for the Alaskan Frontier for a lease term of three years. Based on the length of the lease term and the remaining economic life of the vessel, it is accounted for as an operating lease. The lease contains a three-year renewal option and is available indefinitely. The future minimum commitments under the lease are $184 for the remainder of 2020, $365 in 2021, $365 in 2022 and $71 in 2023.

Note 11 — Vessels

 

At the end of May 2020, the Company took delivery of a 204,000 barrel capacity oil and chemical tank barge. The barge, named the OSG 204, has been paired with an existing tug within the Company’s fleet, the OSG Endurance. The ATB unit will be operating in the Jones Act trade and has entered into a one-year time charter.

 

In May 2020, the Company sold for scrap one of its ATBs for $700, net of broker commissions. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a loss, which is not considered material and is included in loss on disposal of vessels and other property, including impairments, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company used the proceeds from the sale to make a mandatory prepayment on its term loan due in 2023.The aggregate loss realized on this transaction, which related to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs, was not material.

 

On March 12, 2020, the Parent Company’s subsidiaries completed the purchase of three U.S.-flagged crude oil carrier vessels, the Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend, and Alaskan Navigator, from BP for total consideration of $54,000 and have entered into a bareboat charter with BP for a fourth vessel, the Alaskan Frontier. The vessels purchased will continue to be operated by ATC under time charters with Hilcorp North Slope, LLC (formerly BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc.), with firm charter periods lasting until 2022, 2025 and 2026. Each charter also provides for five one-year extension options.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s non-cash investing activities for the accrual of capital expenditures related to the Company’s newbuilds were $3,925.

 

Note 12 — Debt

 

On July 30, 2020, the Company used $20,002 of restricted cash, along with a cash payment of $4,236, which included interest and other fees, to pay in full the Company’s term loan on the Overseas Gulf Coast, due 2024. At June 30, 2020, the principal amount of the term loan of $24,050 is included in current installments of long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

On March 26, 2020, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, OSG 204 LLC, entered into a credit agreement with Wintrust Commercial Finance and other syndicate lenders to finance a new 204,000 barrel U.S. Flag oil and chemical ATB barge, which was delivered to the Company during the second quarter of 2020. The credit agreement included a construction loan, against which the Company could make drawdowns to pay for construction costs, and a five-year term loan. The construction loan, which was guaranteed by the Company, was for an aggregate principal amount of $33,150, of which $28,084 was drawn at loan closing, and had a floating rate of interest of LIBOR plus 5.00%. The remaining two milestone construction payments for the barge, accrued and unpaid interest and commitment fees on the construction loan of $4,849 were funded as additions to the construction loan. The construction loan was secured by a collateral assignment of the vessel construction contract. Upon delivery of the barge to OSG 204 LLC, the construction loan was converted into a fixed rate five-year term loan guaranteed by the Company for $32,933. The fixed-rate loan bears interest of 5.00% and matures on June 1, 2025. The lenders hold a perfected first priority security interest and preferred ship mortgage against the vessel. The annual principal payments expected to be made are $1,015 for the remainder of 2020, $2,107 in 2021, $2,215 in 2022, $2,328 in 2023, $2,447 in 2024 and $22,821 thereafter.

 

On March 12, 2020, the Company entered into a loan with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC and other syndicate lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $54,000 to finance the purchase of three U.S.-flagged crude oil carrier vessels, the Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend, and Alaskan Navigator. The loan is secured by first preferred ship mortgages on the vessels, bears a fixed rate of interest of 4.43% and has a five-year term maturing on March 12, 2025. The annual principal payments required to be made are $2,023 for the remainder of 2020, $4,182 in 2021, $4,371 in 2022, $4,568 in 2023, $4,775 in 2024 and $33,087 thereafter.

 

Note 13 — Commitments and 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 without limitation 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). Each of the claims involves an amount which, in the opinion of management, are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Business Overview

 

OSG is a publicly traded tanker company providing energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets. OSG is a major operator of tankers and ATBs in the Jones Act industry. OSG’s 24 active vessel fleet, of which 22 are U.S. Flag vessels, consists of three crude oil tankers doing business in Alaska, two conventional ATBs, two lightering ATBs, three shuttle tankers, ten MR tankers, and two non-Jones Act MR tankers that participate in the U.S. Maritime Security Program. OSG also owns and operates two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers which trade internationally. In addition to the currently operating fleet, OSG has on order another Jones Act compliant barge which is scheduled for delivery in late 2020. 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.

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 such 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 economy, 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, deletions, or conversions. Our revenues are also affected by the mix of charters between spot (voyage charter which includes short-term time charter) and long-term (time or bareboat charter).

 

Beginning in the 2020 first quarter, COVID-19 has resulted in disruptions in demand and oversupply of oil. Many analysts predict that gasoline and diesel demand will recover as 2020 progresses. These analysts predict that volume demand will be slightly below 2019 levels by the end of 2020. Jet fuel demand is anticipated to remain well below 2019 levels through at least the end of 2021. These estimates include estimates on the prevalence of COVID-19 and the recovery of the U.S. economy. While COVID-19 has presented our industry and markets with significant challenges, we believe that we have thus far managed its impact on our business well, with all of our Jones Act and internationally trading vessels able to load, transit and discharge cargo without material interruption.

 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented procedures to protect the health and safety of our employees, crew and contractors. These procedures and protocols are those mandated or recommended by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, the US Coast Guard, local ports and shipyards, and country and state specific requirements. They include such actions as providing personal protective equipment, minimizing crew changes, managing the locations where crew members board and depart from our vessels, requiring crew members to disclose symptoms and health of those they have been in contact with, sanitization of the vessels, mandating face coverings, social distancing and temperature checks, and requiring testing in certain instances. COVID-19 has also impacted planned shipyard maintenance and vetting activities resulting in delays, rescheduling and extensions. These additional procedures and delays have resulted in increased costs, which at this point in time, have not been material but are expected to continue.

 

Having our vessels committed on time charters is a fundamental objective of our chartering strategy. The majority of available vessel operating days are covered with medium-term charters or contracts of affreightment. However, medium-term charters may not always be remunerative, nor prove achievable under certain market conditions. As a result, some of our vessels 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 TCE rates, which are non-GAAP measures. TCE revenues equal GAAP shipping revenues, less voyage expenses. TCE rates are determined by dividing TCE revenues by revenue days. These measures are reported because management makes economic decisions based on anticipated TCE rates and evaluates financial performance based on TCE rates achieved.

 

TCE rates for Jones Act Product Carriers and large ATBs (defined as vessels having carrying capacities greater than 140,000 barrels) available for service in the spot market decreased during the second quarter of 2020 compared to second quarter of 2019 for all of our vessel classes. The decrease in rates can be attributed to lower demand for coastwise crude oil and refined product as a result of the impact of COVID-19. This has been partially offset by the tightening of vessel supply through scrapping, lay ups and sales out of Jones Act service versus one new delivery since 2018. There were few spot market voyages in the second quarter of 2020 due to charterers securing time charters over the past year. This has led to minimal vessels available for spot voyages other than charterers re-chartering the vessels to the spot market.

 

Our time charter coverage is substantial for the balance of this year. We contracted employment covering 89% of available operating days during the third quarter of 2020 and have 83% of available operating days contracted for the second half of the year, which includes the ATC vessels recently purchased. The deep book of time charters which we entered into is expected to provide some insulation from the current market turmoil that has followed not only the outbreak of COVID-19, but also the decline in transportation fuel demand affecting both crude oil and refined product pricing. Our vessels were employed for 93% of available days during the 2020 second quarter, with 132 of a total 1,816 available days seeing vessels idle without employment.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

The industry’s firm Jones Act orderbook as of June 30, 2020 consists of one large ATB with delivery scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2020, which is our order.

 

Delaware Bay lightering volumes averaged 38,000 b/d in the second quarter of 2020 compared with 163,000 b/d in the second quarter of 2019. Refinery demand for crude oil was significantly reduced in the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19, reducing the need for lightering services. We have contract minimums with our refinery customers that compensates us for barrels not lightered below those minimum amounts. In June 2019, one of our lightering customers, Philadelphia Energy Solutions (“PES”), suffered an explosion and fire at its refinery in the Delaware Bay. The refinery has been shut down since the fire. In July 2019, PES filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Due to the reduction in lightering volumes, we redeployed one of our two lightering ATBs to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for alternative employment. In May 2020 the PES bankruptcy process resulted in the sale of the refinery complex which will be permanently closed.

 

At December 31, 2019, the Company had a 37.5% interest in Alaska Tanker Company, LLC (“ATC”), a joint venture that was formed in 1999 among OSG America Operating Co LLC, Keystone Shipping Company and BP plc to support BP plc’s Alaskan crude oil transportation requirements. Each member in ATC was entitled to receive its respective share of any incentive charter hire payable to ATC.

 

On December 26, 2019, the Company announced that its subsidiaries entered into agreements with BP Oil Shipping Company USA and BP AMI Leasing Inc. (“BP”) to purchase three U.S.-flagged crude oil carrier vessels operated by ATC for total consideration of $54,000. The Company made a $10,800 deposit upon execution of the vessel purchase agreements. Additionally, the Company acquired the remaining 62.5% interest of ATC, from its partners, that it did not own for approximately $19,100.

 

On March 12, 2020, our subsidiaries completed the purchase of the Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, and have entered into a bareboat charter with BP for a fourth vessel, the Alaskan Frontier. The Alaskan Frontier is currently in layup. In connection with these transactions, we also completed the acquisition of ATC, making ATC a wholly owned subsidiary of OSG. Operating results of these vessels are included from that date.

Results of Vessel Operations

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, shipping revenues increased by $26,080 and $39,201, or 29.5% and 22.2%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increases primarily resulted from the addition to our fleet of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, and one ATB, OSG 204 and OSG Endurance, which was delivered at the end of May 2020.

During the second quarter of 2020, TCE revenues increased by $18,321, or 22.3%, to $100,427 from $82,106 in the second quarter of 2019. The increase primarily resulted from the addition to our fleet of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, and one ATB, OSG 204 and OSG Endurance, which was delivered at the end of May 2020, and two Government of Israel voyages during the second quarter of 2020 compared to one during the second quarter of 2019. The increase was offset by two fewer ATBs in our fleet and a decrease in Delaware Bay lightering volumes during the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

 

Vessel expenses increased by $9,124, or 28.1%, in the second quarter of 2020 to $41,644 compared to $32,520 in the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to an increase in crewing costs. The increase in crewing costs was due to the addition of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, and three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, to our fleet, which was offset by two fewer ATBs in our fleet.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $1,133, or 8.7%, to $14,217 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $13,084 in the second quarter of 2019. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in depreciation expense due to the Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, our two newbuild Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, which entered service at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was partially offset by a decrease due to drydock amortization.

 

During the first six months of 2020, TCE revenues increased by $32,641, or 19.8%, to $197,501 from $164,860 in the first six months of 2019. The increase primarily resulted from the addition to our fleet of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, one MR tanker, Overseas Key West, which was added during the second quarter of 2019, and one ATB, OSG 204 and OSG Endurance, which was delivered at the end of May 2020 and an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet. The increase was offset by (a) one less ATB in our fleet, (b) a 55-day increase in scheduled drydocking and (c) a decrease in Delaware Bay lightering volumes during the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019.

 

Vessel expenses increased 19.2%, or $12,446, to $77,413 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $64,967 for the same period in 2019 primarily due to an increase in crewing costs. The increase in crewing costs was due to the addition to our fleet of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, and one MR tanker, Overseas Key West, which was added during the second quarter of 2019, offset by one less ATB in our fleet.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $2,675, or 10.5%, to $28,236 in the first six months of 2020 compared to $25,561 in the first six months of 2019. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in depreciation expense due to the Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, our two newbuild Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, which entered service at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2019.

 

Our two U.S. Flag Product Carriers participate in the MSP, which is designed to ensure that militarily useful U.S. Flag vessels are available to the U.S. Department of Defense in the event of war or national emergency. We receive an annual subsidy, subject in each case to annual congressional appropriations, which is intended to offset the increased cost incurred by such vessels from operating under the U.S. Flag. For fiscal year 2020, we expect to receive $5,000 for each vessel and up to $5,200 for each vessel beginning in 2021. During fiscal year 2019, we received a $5,000 annual subsidy for each participating MSP vessel. We do not receive a subsidy for any days for which either of the two vessels operate under a time charter to a U.S. government agency.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $7,599 and $13,772 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared with $5,957 and $11,633 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in compensation and benefit costs due to our acquisition of ATC and the resulting increase in headcount. General and administrative expenses also increased primarily due to an increase in consulting fees.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $6,167 and $12,241 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared with $6,571 and $13,077 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was primarily associated with the decrease in the 30-Day LIBOR rate on our term loans, due 2023 and 2026, from the same period in 2019 and interest capitalized due to vessels under construction.

 

Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an income tax (provision)/benefit of $(1,044) and $773, respectively, which represented effective tax rates of 14% and 31%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an income tax (provision)/benefit of $(7,404) and $381, respectively, which represented effective tax rates of 19% and (35)%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 was substantially due to a significant reduction in state income tax, as well as, the tonnage tax exclusion. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the establishment of deductible expenses related to Code Section 162(m) in the first quarter of 2019 causing a more favorable discrete adjustment compared to pretax income. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was less than the statutory rate due to discrete tax benefits recorded relating to state benefit resulting from the Alaska Tanker Company acquisition, interest related to an alternative minimum tax refund and the tonnage tax exclusion. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was less than the statutory rate due to the discrete tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2019 relating to Code Section 162(m) deductible expenses and the tonnage tax exclusion.

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 June 30, 2020 was approximately $(86,000) compared with approximately $(104,000) at December 31, 2019. Excluding the current portion of operating and finance lease liabilities, working capital was approximately $8,490 at June 30, 2020 compared to $(9,880) at December 31, 2019. The increase in working capital is primarily due to the proceeds we received from the OSG 204 LLC term loan discussed below and assets obtained as a result of the completed acquisition of ATC.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had total liquidity on a consolidated basis comprised of $94,342 of cash and cash equivalents (including $20,150 of restricted cash). We manage our cash in accordance with our intercompany cash management system subject to the requirements of our debt facilities. Our cash and cash equivalents, as well as our restricted cash balances, generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. We place our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 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. At June 30, 2020, $20,002 of restricted cash is in escrow to be applied as a prepayment on the term loan on the Overseas Gulf Coast, due 2024. On July 30, 2020, the $20,002 of restricted cash was used towards the payment in full of the Overseas Gulf Coast term loan, due 2024. See below for further details. The remaining $148 of restricted cash as of June 30, 2020 was related to the Company’s Unsecured Senior Notes.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had total debt outstanding (net of original issue discount and deferred financing costs) of $437,284 and a total debt to total capitalization of 53.9%, compared to $368,047 and 51.9%, respectively, at December 31, 2019. Net debt at June 30, 2020 was $343,090 compared to $326,544 at December 31, 2019.

 

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $42,266. 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.

 

We use capital to fund working capital requirements, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with U.S. and international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, repay or repurchase our outstanding loan facilities and to repurchase our common stock from time to time. We may also use cash generated by operations to finance capital expenditures to modernize and grow our fleet.

 

We are presently assessing the impact of the expected discontinuation of LIBOR in 2021.

On July 30, 2020, the Company used $20,002 of restricted cash, along with a cash payment of $4,236, which included interest and other fees, to pay in full the Company’s term loan on the Overseas Gulf Coast, due 2024. At June 30, 2020, the principal amount of the term loan of $24,050 is included in current installments of long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company did not have, during the periods presented, and does not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Commitments

 

In 2019, the Company signed a binding contract for the construction of one approximately 204,000 BBL, oil and chemical tank barge.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019, and as may be updated in our subsequent quarterly reports. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019 are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our industry and our business in significant ways, creating new risks and heightening existing risks. Such risks include:

 

  Uncertainties in the oil trading market, with volatile and unpredictable oil pricing;
     
  Drastic decreases in demand that are expected to have a long duration;
     
  Heightened risk of off-hire periods resulting from managing virus-related delays;
     
  Potential and as yet unknowable costs for testing, cleaning, quarantine, immunization and certifications;
     
  Difficulty in easily accessing critical supplies - in particular face masks and other personal protective equipment;
     
  Questionable reliability and effectiveness of testing methodologies and PPE;
     
  Possible delays in receiving critical supplies and the services of specialized technicians;
     
  Unavailability of inspectors and delays in vetting of the vessels;
     
  The imposition of additional operational burdens on our crews;
     
  Unavailability of airlines or other transportation to move our crews into position, and increased costs associated with such travel;
     
  Compliance with mandates and recommendations of various regulatory agencies as they seek to react to continuously evolving information;
     
  Health of our key employees to operate our vessels and executives to manage the business during this turbulent time;
     
  Increased possibilities of refineries and other customers experiencing financial instability or going out of business;
     
  Delayed receipt of payments owed to us; and
     
  Increased costs to develop and implement policies and procedures to deal with all of these challenges.

 

As a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the environment within which we operate is under escalating stress, presenting new risks and vulnerabilities that have previously not affected our performance. The level of uncertainty about the extent, duration and ultimate impact of the forces that are currently unsettling our markets has never been greater and will impact how supply, demand and price of crude oil will unfold in the months ahead. We expect to incur increased costs to address these challenges.

 

Direct management and operational risks exist now and are likely to continue and increase in the future relating to our ability to effectively sustain operational readiness. We may encounter challenges getting crew to and from our vessels in a manner that both protects their personal safety and endeavors to assure that a joining crew member is not bringing COVID-19 onto a vessel or is otherwise affecting a vessel’s acceptability in service. Our ability to adapt and implement policies and procedures in this regard, and to anticipate associated costs, are subject to developing consensus with relevant constituencies, including regulatory authorities, health officials, unions, customers, and those in our industry and supply chain, to achieve consistency and a common approach to coping with the very real and very difficult problems presented by COVID-19. There are heightened risks in our ability to comply with what are evolving, and sometimes conflicting, logistical health and safety protocols.

In addition, we see heightened risks of off-hire periods resulting from managing virus-related delays, and anticipate increased costs for testing, cleaning, quarantine, immunization and certifications. Difficulty in accessing critical supplies, such as face masks and other personal protective equipment, receiving spare parts, and obtaining timely services of specialized technicians, impose additional operational burdens. It is not certain whether testing methodologies and personal protective equipment will prove reliable as effective measures to protect against the virus, and compliance with mandates and recommendations of various regulatory agencies as they seek to react to continuously evolving information also pose significant risks. We face the potential for increased costs and claims in the event that an employee tests positive for COVID-19. While OSG has not found it necessary to lay-off or furlough employees as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, others in our industry have done so or are considering it as a possibility.

 

Further risks relate to potential longer-term impacts of the virus on our Jones Act trade. We are experiencing reduced cargo volumes and increased idle times, derivatives of falling refinery runs and unprecedented demand destruction for transportation fuels arising out of stay-at-home policies in many populated regions. The models we typically use to forecast demand may not be reliable in the wake of this health emergency. A V-shaped recovery is not expected in transportation fuel demand, with uneven recovery predicted in various fuel sectors. The shape and speed of fuel demand recovery could have significant negative impacts on our key customers, refineries in particular, which would likely have a material impact on both domestic tank vessel demand as well as on OSG’s expected forward revenue streams. Our shuttle tankers rely on customers with wells and fields in the Gulf of Mexico. Customers with high cash production costs are likely to be vulnerable to production cuts. In the event that wells and fields are shut in response to persistently low oil prices, this could have a material adverse effect on the revenues generated by our shuttle tankers.

 

It should be anticipated that volatility in rates will continue. The overall level of crude oil production cuts in the U.S. over the coming months and the impact of these cuts on the relative price differentials between domestic and comparable international crude oil are significant factors for the U.S. trades. Declining crude oil production, coupled with the increase of tonnage released back into the market once product stored is delivered for consumption, will likely impact negatively on future rates. We have exposed risk to those of our vessels which come into the spot market, as rate and utilization assumptions for those vessels must cover a wide range of possible scenarios. The range of possible outcomes is wide and the possible impact on actual rates achieved unknowable at this time.
