Explanation of Variances on the Fourth Quarter of 2014 Financial Results Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2013

 
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded net income of $0.5 million compared to net income of $5.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013.  The following were the significant changes between the two periods:
 
 
·
Time charter equivalent, or 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 charters, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management.  The following table depicts TCE revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:
 

   
For the three months ended December 31,
 
   
2014
   
2013
 
In thousands of U.S. dollars
           
Vessel revenue
  $ 125,738     $ 53,367  
Voyage expenses
    (2,106 )     (1,064 )
TCE revenue
  $ 123,632     $ 52,303  

 
 
·
TCE revenue increased $71.3 million to $123.6 million.  This increase was driven by an increase in the average number of operating vessels (owned and time chartered-in) to 72.8 from 47.2 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, along with an increase in time charter equivalent revenue per day to $18,664 per day from $12,080 per day for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see the breakdown of daily TCE averages below).  The Company experienced quarter over quarter improvements in all vessel classes.  This was particularly driven by the Atlantic basin trade as U.S. Gulf Coast refinery utilization increased during the quarter, driving MR rates to recent highs. Additionally, LR2 and LR1 strength was driven by an increase in exports of refined products out of the Middle East as Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu refinery began operations in 2014.

Vessel operating costs increased $18.5 million to $31.1 million from $12.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in the Company’s owned fleet to an average of 50.8 vessels from 19.0 vessels for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The increase was offset by an overall decrease in vessel operating costs per day to $6,662 per day from $7,071 per day for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see the breakdown of daily TCE averages below).
 
 
·
Charterhire expense decreased $6.4 million to $29.8 million from $36.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  This decrease was driven by a decrease in the Company’s time chartered-in fleet to an average of 22.0 vessels from 28.2 vessels for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
 
·
Depreciation expense increased $10.8 million to $17.7 million from $6.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  This increase was the result of an increase in the average number of owned vessels to 50.8 from 19.0 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
 
·
General and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million to $13.8 million from $11.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  This increase was driven by a $1.3 million increase in the amortization of restricted stock (non-cash) and an overall increase in other general and administrative expenses due to the significant growth in the Company’s fleet.
 
 
·
The write down of vessels held for sale and loss from sale of vessels decreased $17.2 million to $4.0 million from $21.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  During December 2014, we recognized an aggregate write-down of $4.0 million resulting from the designation of STI Harmony and STI Heritage as held for sale.  During December 2013, we recognized a write-down of $21.2 million resulting from the designation of four vessels (Senatore, Noemi, Venice and STI Spirit) as held for sale.
 
 
·
Gain on sale of VLGCs of $41.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, relates to the gain recorded as a result of our contribution of 11 VLGCs under construction and $1.9 million in cash, to Dorian in exchange for 30% of Dorian’s then outstanding shares.
 
 
·
The write down for our investment in Dorian relates to the change in the accounting method from the equity method to the available for sale method on October 29, 2014, which is the date we lost significant influence when Robert Bugbee, our President, resigned from Dorian’s board of directors.  As a result of the change in accounting methods, we remeasured our investment in Dorian to its fair market value on October 29, 2014, which resulted in a write down of $13.9 million, and we will no longer record our share of earnings from Dorian (“share of income from associate”) in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss.
 
 
·
Financial expenses increased $12.8 million to $13.2 million from $0.4 million primarily as a result in an increase in the Company’s debt balance for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Total debt outstanding, net of deferred financing fees, was $1.6 billion at December 31, 2014 compared to $167.1 million at December 31, 2013.

See Non-GAAP Measure section below
 
(2)
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 the vessel is owned less the number of days the vessel is off-hire for drydock and repairs.
 
(3)
Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs excluding non-recurring expenses (for example insurance deductible expenses for repairs) divided by the number of days the vessel is owned during the period.

Business Strategy
The Company’s primary objectives are to profitably grow the business and emerge as a major operator of product tanker vessels.

Dividend Policy
 
The declaration and payment of dividends is subject at all times to the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The timing and amount of dividends, if any, depends on the Company’s earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, fleet renewal and expansion, restrictions in the loan agreements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of dividends and other factors.

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,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “plan,” “potential,” “may,” “should,” “expect,” “pending” 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, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties.  Although we believe 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 our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, 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 our operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for our 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, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other factors. Please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
