No securities were repurchased under this program during the period commencing January 1, 2018 and ending on the date of this press release.

As of the date hereof, the Company has the authority to purchase up to an additional $147.1 million of its securities under its Securities Repurchase Program.

Diluted Weighted Number of Shares

Diluted earnings per share is determined using the if-converted method. Under this method, the Company assumes that its Convertible Notes due 2019 and Convertible Notes due 2022 (which were issued in June 2014 and May 2018, respectively) were converted into common shares at the beginning of each period and the interest and non-cash amortization expense associated with these notes of $6.0 million and $17.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, were not incurred. Conversion is not assumed if the results of this calculation are anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company's basic weighted average number of shares was 310,032,639 and 309,291,442, respectively. The weighted average number of shares, both diluted and under the if-converted method, were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as the Company incurred net losses.

As of the date hereof, the Convertible Notes due 2019 and Convertible Notes due 2022 are not eligible for conversion.

Amendment of Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio

As part of these agreements, and for certain of the facilities (as detailed below), the minimum threshold for the aggregate fair market value of the vessels as a percentage of the then aggregate principal amount of each facility was revised to be no less than the following:



Facility	Minimum ratio
KEXIM Credit Facility	155%
2017 Credit Facility	155%
2016 Credit Facility	145% through June 30, 2019, 150% thereafter
ABN Credit Facility	145% through June 30, 2019, 150% thereafter
DVB Credit Facility	145% through June 30, 2019, 150% thereafter

Convertible Notes Exchange

In July 2018, the Company exchanged $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Notes due 2019 for $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Notes due 2022. The new notes issued in this exchange have identical terms, are fungible with and are part of the series of Convertible Notes due 2022 which were issued in May 2018. This exchange was executed with certain holders of the Convertible Notes due 2019 via separate, privately negotiated agreements.

This transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $0.9 million during the third quarter of 2018 as a result.

The Convertible Notes due 2022 bear interest at a coupon rate of 3.0%, which is payable semi-annually on November 15 and May 15 of each year and carried an initial conversion rate of 250 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount ($4.00 per share). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events (such as the payment of dividends). The conversion rate was adjusted to 252.1317 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount in September 2018 due to the scheduled payment of a quarterly dividend. The Convertible Notes due 2022 mature on May 15, 2022 and are non-redeemable. The remaining terms and conditions are similar to those set forth in the Company's Convertible Notes due 2019.

Explanation of Variances on the Third Quarter of 2018 Financial Results Compared to the Third Quarter of 2017

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss of $71.7 million compared to a net loss of $36.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. 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 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 September 30, 2018 and 2017:



		For the three months ended September 30,
In thousands of U.S. dollars		2018			2017
	Vessel revenue	$	119,281		$	123,119
	Voyage expenses	(470		)	(1,276		)
	TCE revenue	$	118,811		$	121,843

•

TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $3.0 million to $118.8 million, from $121.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease was the result of a reduction in TCE revenue per day, which decreased to $10,519 per day during the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $12,395 per day during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The spot market for product tankers continues to face adverse market conditions as a result of an unfavorable global supply and demand imbalance resulting primarily from weaker global refining margins, a lack of arbitrage opportunities, and the continued absorption of an influx of prior year newbuilding deliveries. This decrease in TCE revenue per day was partially offset by the growth of the Company's fleet to an average of 124.2 operating vessels during the three months ended September 30, 2018 from an average of 108.9 operating vessels during the three months ended September 30, 2017. This fleet growth was the result of the merger with NPTI, which resulted in the delivery of 23 vessels in September 2017, and the delivery of six vessels under the Company's newbuilding program (four vessels during the third and fourth quarters of 2017 and two vessels during the first quarter of 2018.)

•

Vessel operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased $10.9 million to $69.3 million, from $58.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was the result of an increase in the average number of owned and bareboat chartered-in vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to 119.0 vessels from 99.3 vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This growth was the result of (i) the merger with NPTI, which resulted in the delivery of 23 vessels in September 2017, and (ii) the delivery of a total of six vessels under the Company's newbuilding program during the third and fourth quarters of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018.

•

Charterhire expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $5.1 million to $13.8 million, from $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease was the result of a decrease in the number of time chartered-in vessels during those periods. The Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet consisted of an average of 5.2 time chartered-in vessels and 10.0 bareboat chartered-in vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and the Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet consisted of an average of 9.6 time chartered-in vessels and 10.0 bareboat chartered-in vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The average daily base rates on the Company's time chartered-in fleet during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and three months ended September 30, 2017 were $14,254 per vessel per day and $13,718 per vessel per day, respectively. The average daily base rates for the Company's bareboat chartered-in fleet during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and three months ended September 30, 2017 were $7,642 per vessel per day and $7,309 per vessel per day, respectively.

•

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased $8.2 million to $44.6 million, from $36.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily driven by (i) the delivery of a total of six vessels under the Company's newbuilding program during the third and fourth quarters of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018, and (ii) the delivery of eight LR1 and 15 LR2 vessels acquired from NPTI in September 2017.

•

Financial expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased $19.2 million to $50.1 million, from $30.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in financial expenses was primarily a result of (i) increased interest expense incurred as a result of the assumption of $806.4 million of indebtedness as part of the September 2017 closing of the Company's merger with NPTI, (ii) increases in LIBOR rates when compared to the third quarter of 2017, and (iii) the write-off or acceleration of $5.9 million of deferred financing fees during the third quarter of 2018 as a result of the July 2018 $15.0 million convertible notes exchange, the refinancing of the existing indebtedness on 29 vessels during the third quarter of 2018, and the acceleration of the deferred financing fees related to the existing indebtedness on seven vessels that was refinanced in October 2018.

The standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption (the "modified retrospective method"). We have applied the modified retrospective method upon the date of transition. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the application of this standard resulted in a $3,888 reduction in the opening balance of Accumulated deficit on January 1, 2018.

(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 or chartered-in less the number of days the vessel is 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 the owned or bareboat chartered-in vessels, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only applicable to our owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in vessels, not our 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 (i.e. "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 time charter equivalent 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 time charter equivalent 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 time charter equivalent revenue, adjusted net income or loss with the 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.

Time charter equivalent revenue is reconciled above in the section entitled 'Explanation of Variances on the Third Quarter of 2018 Financial Results Compared to the Third Quarter of 2017'.

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 for the management, 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, 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.
