Explanation of Variances on the Fourth Quarter of 2015 Financial Results Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2014
For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded net income of $34.2 million compared to net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. 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, 2015 and 2014:

· TCE revenue increased $54.5 million to $178.1 million. This increase was driven by an increase in the average number of operating vessels (owned and time chartered-in) to 92.2 from 72.8 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, along with an increase in time charter equivalent revenue per day to $21,057 per day from $18,664 per day for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively (see the breakdown of daily TCE below). Product tanker market fundamentals continued to show strength during the fourth quarter of 2015 as the continuing glut of crude oil supplies has led to lower worldwide oil prices and thus higher demand for refined products. As such, global refinery utilization has increased which, along with increased refining capacity in the Middle East and India, has resulted in increased demand across all of the Company's vessel classes.
· Vessel operating costs increased $19.8 million to $50.9 million from $31.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in the Company's owned fleet to an average of 80.3 vessels from 50.8 vessels for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Additionally, overall vessel operating costs per day increased to $6,891 per day from $6,662 per day for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively (see the breakdown of daily vessel operating costs below). This increase was primarily attributable to increased crewing and spares and stores costs incurred in our MR and LR2 operating segments during the quarter.
· Charterhire expense decreased $11.6 million to $18.2 million from $29.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This decrease was driven by a decrease in the Company's time chartered-in fleet to an average of 11.9 vessels from 22.0 vessels for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
9

· Depreciation expense increased $13.2 million to $30.9 million from $17.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This increase was the result of an increase in the average number of owned vessels to 80.3 from 50.8 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
· General and administrative expenses increased $4.4 million to $18.2 million from $13.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This increase is due to the significant growth in the Company's fleet to an average of 92.2 owned and time chartered-in vessels from an average of 72.8 owned and time chartered-in vessels during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
· The write down of vessels held for sale and loss from sale vessels of $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 is attributable to the designation of STI Harmony and STI Heritage as held for sale at that date.
· The write-off of vessel purchase options of $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 is the write-off of deposits made for options to construct MR product tankers that expired unexercised in December 2015. 
· The re-measurement of the Company's investment in Dorian for the three months ended December 31, 2014 is from the change in the accounting method of this investment from the equity method to the available for sale method in October 2014 which resulted in a write-down of $13.9 million. The Company's investment in Dorian was sold in July 2015 for a gain of $1.2 million.
· Financial expenses increased $10.9 million to $24.1 million from $13.2 million primarily as a result of:
· an increase in average debt outstanding to $2.1 billion from $1.4 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively; 
· a decrease in the amount of interest capitalized of $2.8 million; 
· a write-off of $0.7 million of deferred financing fees as a result of the refinancing of the amounts borrowed for STI Pontiac during the three months ended December 31, 2015.

(1) See Non-IFRS Measures 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.

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," "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. We undertake no obligation, and specifically decline 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 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.
