NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 (the “Company” or “OSG”, “we”, “us” or “our”). The Company owns and operates a fleet of oceangoing vessels engaged primarily in the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products in the International Flag and U.S. Flag trades through its wholly owned subsidiaries OSG International, Inc. (“OIN”), a Marshall Islands corporation, and OSG Bulk Ships, Inc. (“OBS”), a New York corporation, respectively.

 

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, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date (revised for certain corrections described below), 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 (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The December 31, 2014 balance sheet has been revised from that previously reported in the Form 10-K to reflect the correction of an error identified during the financial close reporting process for the second quarter of 2015 related to the classification of restricted cash for the OIN Term Loan. The Company assessed the materiality of the error on previously issued annual financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and concluded that the revision is not material to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been revised to reclassify restricted cash of $70,093 from current assets to non-current assets and to reflect a corresponding reduction in the previously reported amount for total current assets. The error had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), changes in equity/(deficit) or cash flows. The impact of this error on the March 31, 2015 balance sheet previously reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was an overstatement of total current assets and a corresponding understatement of long term assets by $77,999.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The quarterly information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 has been revised from that previously reported in the June 2014 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect the correction of an error related to the overstatement of depreciation expense recorded on certain International Flag vessels. The error was identified and corrected during the 2014 year-end financial close and reporting process. The Company assessed the materiality of the error on previously issued interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2014, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, and concluded that the revisions were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements for any of the affected quarterly periods. The condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 presented herein reflects decreases of $2,144 and $4,277, respectively, in previously reported depreciation and amortization and total operating expenses. Additionally there were increases of $2,144 and $4,277 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, in each of income from vessel operations, operating income, income before interest expense, reorganization items and income taxes, income before reorganization items and income taxes, income before income taxes and net income, and an increase of $0.07 and $0.14 in previously reported basic and diluted earnings per share. The condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects increases of $2,144 and $4,277 in previously reported net income and decreases of $2,144 and $4,277 in previously reported comprehensive loss. The condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects decreases of $4,277 in previously reported depreciation and amortization and net loss. The condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects a decrease of $4,277 in previously reported net loss and an increase of $4,277 in previously reported total equity.

 

Dollar amounts, except per share amounts are in thousands.

 

Note 2 — Chapter 11 Filing and Emergence from Bankruptcy:

 

On November 14, 2012 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and 180 of its subsidiaries (together with OSG, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a plan of reorganization (the “Equity Plan”). The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Equity Plan by order entered on July 18, 2014 (the “Confirmation Order”). On August 5, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Equity Plan became effective and OSG emerged from bankruptcy. As of August 10, 2015, only two of the original 181 Chapter 11 cases remain open as the Debtors continue to negotiate settlements on disputed claims.

 

Reorganization Items, net  

 

The Company prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, which requires that financial statements for periods subsequent to the Petition Date distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly all transactions (including but not limited to, all professional fees and other expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses) directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business are reported separately as reorganization items in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The table above reflects a 2014 provision for the Company’s agreement to a stipulated settlement for a Class Action claim filed with the Bankruptcy Court, which provides for cash payments of $15,000 and certain payments contingent upon the outcome of the Company’s malpractice lawsuit against Proskauer and other events. The Company incurred fees totaling $376 and $2,554 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $4,413 and $8,897 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, for financial and reorganization services rendered to the Company by Greylock Partners LLC, a company founded and managed by a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Of such related party expenses, $160 and $856 incurred during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $4,413 and $8,897 incurred during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, are included in professional fees in the table above.

 

Cash paid for reorganization items was $3,332 and $9,428 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $30,672 and $47,308 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

 

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Cash and cash equivalents—Interest-bearing deposits that are highly liquid investments and have a maturity of three months or less when purchased are included in cash and cash equivalents. Management has designated cash reserves of $22,245 and $53,085 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, to be utilized for the settlement of certain unsecured claims, including disputed unsecured claims, and other bankruptcy related costs related to the Company’s recent emergence from bankruptcy. Such cash reserves, which are considered restricted cash due to management’s intent regarding these funds, are included in restricted cash in the current assets section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet based on management’s estimate of when these funds are likely to be disbursed. Such restricted cash reserves will be subject to adjustment based upon the settlement of claims and other bankruptcy related costs and changes in estimates of future funding requirements. Additionally, restricted cash as December 31, 2014 includes $70,093 of legally restricted cash relating to the OIN Facilities (as defined in Note 5, “Debt”). Such restricted cash reserves are included in the non-current section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Prior to its amendment on June 3, 2015, the OIN Term Loan stipulated that if annual aggregate cash proceeds of OIN asset sales exceed $5,000, cash proceeds from each such sale were required to be reinvested in vessels within twelve months of such sale or used to prepay the principal balance outstanding of the OIN Facilities. The June 3, 2015 amendment removed the restriction for cash proceeds of specified OIN asset sales prior to the effective date of the amendment. Activity relating to restricted cash is reflected in investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow.

 

Deferred finance charges—Finance charges incurred in the arrangement and amendment of debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense on either an effective interest method or straight-line basis over the life of the related debt.

 

Unamortized deferred finance charges of $49,502 and $48,186 relating to the Exit Financing Facilities are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Interest expense relating to the amortization of deferred financing charges amounted to $2,494 and $4,871 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, there was no interest expense relating to the amortization of deferred financing charges for pre-petition debt of the Company as amortization had ceased upon the commencement of the Company’s Chapter 11 cases.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are voyage receivables due from charterers and pools in which the Company participates. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any individual customers who accounted for 10% or more of its revenues apart from the pools in which it participates. The pools in which the Company participates accounted for 86% and 77% of consolidated voyage receivables at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

Income Taxes—The Company’s quarterly income tax (provision)/benefit and its corresponding annual effective tax rate are based on expected income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. For interim financial reporting, except in circumstances as described in the following paragraph, the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly tax provision in accordance with the expected annual effective tax rate. As the year progresses, the Company refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available, including year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to our expected annual effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date income tax provision reflects the expected annual effective tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s annual effective tax rate and in evaluating the Company’s tax positions.

 

When the result of the expected annual effective tax rate is not deemed reliable, as was the case for the second quarter of 2014, and distorts the income tax provision for an interim period, the Company calculates the income tax provision or benefit using the cut-off method which results in an income tax provision or benefit based solely on the year-to-date pretax income or loss as adjusted for permanent differences on a pro rata basis.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (ASC 205) and Property Plant and Equipment (ASC 360), which amends the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments require that only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results would qualify as discontinued operations. Therefore disposals of small groups of assets that are recurring in nature are less likely to qualify for discontinued operations presentation as a result of the amendments. In addition, the new guidance expands the disclosure requirements for disposals that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components that do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company’s adoption of this new accounting guidance on January 1, 2015 had no impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. The revenue standard contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB delayed the effective date of the revenue standard by one year. For public companies, the revenue standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. Management is analyzing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including assessing changes that might be necessary to information technology systems, processes and internal controls to capture new data and address changes in financial reporting.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASC 205), which explicitly requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and disclose going concern uncertainties in connection with each annual and interim period. The new standard requires management to assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue to meet its obligations within one year after the reporting date based upon management’s consideration of relevant conditions that are known (and reasonably knowable) at the issuance date. The new standard defines substantial doubt and provides example indicators. Disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. However, management will need to assess if its plans will alleviate substantial doubt to determine the specific disclosures. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Earlier application is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASC 835), which amends the requirement to recognize debt issuance costs as deferred charges. The amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying cost of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company expects to adopt this new accounting standard on January 1, 2016. Based on the Company’s current unamortized debt issuance costs the impact of the retrospective adoption on its June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 balance sheets would be reductions of both other assets and long-term debt by $49,502 and $48,186, respectively.

Note 4 — Earnings per Common Share:

 

All the shares of our common stock prior to the Effective Date were cancelled pursuant to the Equity Plan. Post-emergence, the Company presents earnings per common share information for the Class A and Class B securities.

  

Basic earnings/(loss) per common share is computed by dividing earnings/(loss), 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 deemed the exercise price for the Class A and B Warrants of $0.01 per share to be nominal, warrant proceeds are ignored and the shares issuable upon Class A and B Warrant exercise are included in the calculation of Class A and B basic weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.

 

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

  

There were 329,617 and 298,314 weighted average shares of unvested Class A restricted common stock shares considered to be participating securities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015. Such participating securities were allocated a portion of income under the two class method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Holders of the participating securities do not participate in losses.

  

The computation of diluted earnings/(losses) per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock units. There were 674,947 and 564,878 weighted average shares of unvested Class A stock options outstanding and 542,384 and 370,322 weighted average shares of unvested Class A restricted stock units outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, which are considered to be potentially dilutive securities.

 

Class B

 

There are no participating securities or potentially dilutive securities relating to the Class B Common Stock. 

 

Pre-reorganized OSG common shares

 

All shares of our common stock outstanding prior to the Effective Date were cancelled pursuant to the Equity Plan. Although earnings per share information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is presented, it is not comparable to the information presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 due to the changes in our capital structure.

(2)The diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for Class A common stock for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 were calculated using the Class A common stock and Class A warrants and the dilutive securities outstanding for such three and six month periods.
(3)The basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for Class B common stock for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 were calculated using Class B common stock outstanding and Class B warrants outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015 there were 6,885,212 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and 1,035,955 Class B warrants outstanding.

There were 206,201 and 104,902 dilutive equity awards outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015. Awards of stock options for 674,947 and 564,878 shares of Class A Common Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion of these awards would be anti-dilutive. For earnings per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no dilutive equity awards outstanding as of June 30, 2014 due to the rejection of the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan effective June 1, 2014, which resulted in the cancellation of all unvested awards and any OSG equity interests thereunder.

Exit Financing Facilities

 

Capitalized terms used hereafter have the meanings given in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in the respective transaction documents referred to below, including subsequent amendments thereto. On the Effective Date, to support the Equity Plan, OSG and certain of its subsidiaries entered into secured debt facilities consisting of: (i) a secured asset-based revolving loan facility of $75,000, among the Parent Company, OBS, certain OBS subsidiaries, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “OBS ABL Facility”), secured by a first lien on substantially all of the U.S. Flag assets of OBS and its subsidiaries and a second lien on certain other specified U.S. Flag assets; (ii) a secured term loan of $603,000, among the Parent Company, OBS, certain OBS subsidiaries, Jefferies Finance LLC (“Jefferies”), as Administrative Agent, and other lenders party thereto (the “OBS Term Loan), secured by a first lien on certain specified U.S. Flag assets of OBS and its subsidiaries and a second lien on substantially all of the other U.S. Flag assets of OBS and its subsidiaries; and (iii) a secured term loan facility of $628,375 (the “OIN Term Loan) and a revolving loan facility of $50,000 (the “OIN Revolver Facility” and, together with the OIN Term Loan, the “OIN Facilities” and collectively with the OBS ABL Facility and the OBS Term Loan, the “Exit Financing Facilities”), among OSG, OIN, OIN Delaware LLC, the sole member of which is OIN, certain OIN subsidiaries, Jefferies, as Administrative Agent, and other lenders party thereto, both secured by a first lien on substantially all of the International Flag assets of OIN and its subsidiaries. The OBS Term Loan and the OIN Facilities require that a portion of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the respective loan agreements) be used to prepay outstanding principal balance of such loans, commencing in the case of the OBS Term Loan, with the annual period beginning January 1, 2015 and, in the case of the amended OIN Facilities (as further described below), with the six-month period beginning July 1, 2015, and annual periods thereafter. On August 5, 2014, the available amounts under each of the aforementioned secured term loans were drawn in full. As of June 30, 2015, no amounts had been drawn under the OBS or the OIN revolving loan facilities.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The OBS Term Loan and the OIN Term Loan amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the loans. Each of the OBS Term Loan and the OIN Facilities stipulates if annual aggregate net cash proceeds of asset sales exceed $5,000, net cash proceeds from each such sale are required to be reinvested in fixed or capital assets within twelve months of such sale or be used to prepay the principal balance outstanding of the respective facility. Beginning with the annual period commencing January 1, 2015, the OBS Term Loan and the OIN Term Loan, as modified by the amendments to the Exit Financing Facilities noted in the following paragraph, are subject to additional mandatory annual prepayments in an aggregate principal amount of up to 50% of Excess Cash Flow.

 

On June 3, 2015, the Company entered into amendments to the Exit Financing Facilities. The amendment to the OIN Facilities among other things, provided for the following, subject to certain conditions described therein: (i) it permitted OIN to pay a cash dividend of up to $200,000 to OSG no later than June 30, 2015; (ii) it permitted OIN to retain net cash proceeds of up to $78,000 from the sales of certain assets that occurred prior to June 3, 2015; and (iii) it altered the periods during which Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the loan agreement for the OIN Facilities) must be used to prepay the outstanding balance of the OIN Facilities, from an annual period beginning January 1, 2015 to a six-month period beginning July 1, 2015 and annual periods thereafter. The Company paid fees aggregating $6,187 in connection with the amendments to the Exit Financing Facilities that have been capitalized as deferred finance charges.

 

Management has determined that it has Excess Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and has projected the amount of Excess Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 2015 based on the facts at June 30, 2015. The first mandatory prepayment, which is estimated to be approximately $46,000 for the OBS Term Loan, will be due during the first quarter of 2016, and is therefore included in current installments of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015. Management estimates that no prepayment will be required for the OIN Term Loan as a result of estimated Excess Cash Flows for the six month period ended December 31, 2015.

 

Drawdowns under the OBS ABL Facility are subject to certain limitations based upon the available Borrowing Base, as described therein. Furthermore, each Exit Financing Facility contains certain restrictions relating to new borrowings, and the movement of funds between the borrowers and OSG (as Parent Company), who is not a borrower under the Exit Financing Facilities, as set forth in the respective loan agreements. The Parent Company’s ability to receive cash dividends, loans or advances from OBS and OIN is restricted under their respective facilities. As of December 31, 2014, these restrictions permitted the payment of an amount equal to $25,000 in respect to each of the OBS and OIN Term Loan. As a result, all but approximately $50,000 of the $1,851,617 reflected as investments in affiliates and subsidiaries on the Parent Company’s (separate company) balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 were deemed to be restricted net assets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Pursuant to the June 3, 2015 amendments to the Exit Financing Facilities, OIN paid a cash dividend of $200,000 to OSG on June 26, 2015. For the OIN Facilities, the amendments reduced the base Available Amount (as defined in the loan agreement for the OIN Facilities) from $25,000 to $0, but did not prevent investments being made up to an amount equal to the Available Amount. The Parent Company’s ability to receive cash dividends, loans or advances is currently $25,000 in respect of OBS.

 

The OIN Facilities have a covenant to maintain the aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the loan agreement for the OIN Facilities) of the Collateral Vessels at greater than or equal to $500,000 at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Company had substantial headroom under this covenant at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. None of the other Exit Financing Facilities have financial covenants.

 

Interest expense, including amortization of issuance and deferred financing costs (for additional information related to deferred financing costs see Note 3, “Significant Accounting Policies”), commitment, administrative and other fees for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $19,929 for the Exit Financing Facilities, comprised of $9,363 relating to the OBS Term Loan and OBS ABL Facility and $10,566 relating to the OIN Facilities. Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was $39,632 for the Exit Financing Facilities, comprised of $18,676 relating to the OBS Term Loan and OBS ABL Facility and $20,956 relating to the OIN Facilities. Interest paid for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $7,780 and $8,880 for the OBS Term Loan and the OIN Term Loan, respectively and interest paid for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $15,842 and $18,081 for the OBS Term Loan and the OIN Term Loan, respectively.

 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

 

In 2006, the Company entered into a $1,800,000 seven year unsecured revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings outstanding under this facility were $1,489,000 immediately prior to Emergence. The Company repaid the principal outstanding and contractual interest thereon (which includes default interest) on the Effective Date.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $73,637 to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for a change in estimate of the allowed claim for the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility relating to post-petition contractual interest (which includes default interest).

 

Unsecured Senior Notes

 

The Company has the following separate series of unsecured notes (the “Unsecured Senior Notes”) issued and outstanding as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

8.125% Notes – These notes were issued on March 29, 2010 and consist of $300,000 in face value, which are due on March 30, 2018.

 

7.5% Notes (the “7.5% Notes”) – These notes were issued on March 7, 2003 and consisted of $146,000 in face value, which were due on February 15, 2024. Pursuant to the Equity Plan, on the Effective Date, the Company issued two series of 7.50% Notes due February 15, 2021, one series in an aggregate principal amount of $6,508 (the “Election 1 Notes”) and the other series in an aggregate principal amount of $138,708 (the “Election 2 Notes” and, together with the Election 1 Notes, the “Election Notes”) to holders of the 7.50% Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) that elected to receive Election 1 Notes or Election 2 Notes, as the case may be.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased 2024 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $100. A gain of $12 was recognized on this transaction and is included in other income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

Prior to Emergence, the Company also had the following unsecured notes issued and outstanding:

 

8.75% Debentures – These notes were issued on December 1, 1993 and the remaining balance consisted of $63,603 in face value, which matured on December 1, 2013. Borrowings under this facility and contractual interest thereon were paid on the Effective Date.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, interest expense, including administrative and other fees, of $8,995 and $17,824, respectively, was recorded relating to the Unsecured Senior Notes and $17,965 of interest was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $73,660 to interest expense for post-petition contractual interest (including default interest, as applicable) due on the Unsecured Senior Notes and charges totaling $10,765 to reorganization items to write off unamortized original issue discount and unamortized deferred financing charges and to accrue for a change in estimate of allocated claims relating to the Unsecured Senior Notes pursuant to the Equity Plan.

 

Secured Term Loan Facilities

 

The pre-reorganized OSG loan facilities included floating rate (based on LIBOR) secured terms loans with Danish Ship Finance (“DSF”) and the Export-Import Bank of China (“CEXIM”), with principal outstanding as of the Petition Date aggregating $266,936 and $311,751, respectively. These facilities provided that the market values of the vessels pledged as collateral be compared with the outstanding loan balance semi-annually. The Company believed that the value of the collateral securing these loans as of the Petition Date was less than the outstanding balance of such loans and therefore classified these secured term loans and related accrued interest as liabilities subject to compromise in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the loan-to-value ratios were estimated to approximate 97% and 91%, respectively. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court orders [D.I. 0459 and 0460] issued on February 5, 2013, the Company made Adequate Protection Interest payments to CEXIM and DSF during the post-petition period in consideration for the lenders not repossessing the secured vessels. In accordance with ASC 852, no interest is accrued and/or paid on secured debt when the fair value of the underlying collateral is below the outstanding principal of the secured debt. Accordingly, the Adequate Protection Interest Payments had been classified as reductions of outstanding principal through the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Pursuant to the Equity Plan that provided for payment in full of principal outstanding under the Secured Loan Facilities as of the Petition Date, Adequate Protection Interest Payments made during the period from April 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014 are reflected as a component of operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company disbursed Adequate Protection Interest Payments relating to the DSF secured term loan of $529. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company disbursed Adequate Protection Interest Payments relating to the DSF secured term loan of $1,560 and the CEXIM secured term loan of $4,276, respectively. The principal outstanding and unpaid accrued interest for the DSF and CEXIM secured term loans were repaid on the Effective Date.

Note 6 — Business and Segment Reporting:

 

The Company has three reportable segments: International Crude Tankers, International Product Carriers and U.S. Flag vessels. Income/(loss) from vessel operations for segment purposes is defined as income/(loss) from vessel operations before general and administrative expenses, technical management transition costs, severance and relocation costs and gain/(loss) on disposal of vessels. The accounting policies followed by the reportable segments are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The U.S. Flag segment included an International Flag Product Carrier that exited the U.S. Maritime Security Program in the fourth quarter of 2012 but was still owned by a U.S. domiciled corporation through June 30, 2014. As a result of the June 30, 2014 intercompany sale of the vessel to a Marshall Islands domiciled subsidiary of the Company, effective July 1, 2014, the results of this vessel, subsequent to its reflagging to the Marshall Islands in November 2012, were removed from the U.S. Flag segment and presented in the International Product Carriers segment for all periods presented. The joint venture with four LNG Carriers is included in Other. The joint venture with two floating storage and offloading service vessels is included in the International Crude Tankers segment.

Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses time charter equivalent revenues, which represents shipping revenues less voyage expenses, as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time charter. Time charter equivalent revenues, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with shipping revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance.

Note 7 — Vessels:

 

Vessel Impairments

 

The Company gave consideration as to whether events or changes in circumstances had occurred since December 2014 that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the vessels in the Company’s fleet may not be recoverable as of June 30, 2015. The Company concluded that no such events had occurred to warrant a change in the assumptions from those utilized in the December 2014 impairment tests.

 

Vessel Sales

 

There were no vessels sold during the six months ended June 30, 2015. During March 2014, the Company sold an International Flag Aframax, which had been employed in Lightering operations, and recognized a gain on sale of approximately $1,510 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

In July 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a 1998-built Handysize Product Carrier, at a price in excess of carrying value. The vessel was delivered to buyers in July 2015.

 

Vessel Acquisitions and Deliveries

 

There were no vessel acquisitions or newbuild deliveries during either the six months ended June 30, 2015 or June 30, 2014.

 

Note 8 — Equity Method Investments:

 

Investments in affiliated companies include joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had an approximate 50% interest in two joint ventures. One joint venture operates four LNG Carriers. The other joint venture converted two ULCCs to Floating Storage and Offloading Service vessels. In addition, the Company has a 37.5% interest in Alaska Tanker Company, LLC, which manages vessels carrying Alaskan crude for BP.

Floating Storage and Offloading Service (“FSO”) Vessels Joint Venture

 

Maersk Oil Qatar AS awarded two service contracts to a joint venture between OSG and Euronav NV to provide two vessels, the FSO Asia and the FSO Africa, to perform FSO services in the Al Shaheen Field off the shore of Qatar. The Company has a 50% interest in this joint venture, held indirectly by OIN. The joint venture financed the purchase of the vessels from each of Euronav NV and OSG and their conversion costs through partner loans and a long-term bank financing, which is secured by, among other things, the service contracts and the FSOs themselves. Approximately $119,346 and $145,396 was outstanding under this facility as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, with the outstanding amount of this facility being subject to acceleration, in whole or in part, on termination of one or both of such service contracts. In connection with the secured bank financing, the partners severally issued 50% guarantees. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the Company’s guaranty in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet was $0. The joint venture expects to be able to pay off the outstanding balance of the FSO Africa loan of $1,250 at its maturity in August 2015, using cash on hand.

 

The joint venture entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with major financial institutions. These agreements have maturity dates ranging from July to September 2017. The interest rate swaps, covering notional amounts aggregating $228,186 and $254,308 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, pay fixed rates of approximately 3.9% and receive floating rates based on LIBOR. All of the interest rate swaps were being accounted for as cash flow hedges through December 31, 2009. As a result of the delays in the completion of conversion and commencement of the service contract for the FSO Africa, in the first quarter of 2010 the joint venture concluded that it was no longer probable that the forecasted transaction applicable to the FSO Africa swaps would occur. Accordingly, as a result of the de-designation of the FSO Africa swaps, all changes in the market value of the swaps have been recognized in the joint venture’s statement of operations since the first quarter of 2010. The Company’s share of amounts recognized in equity in income from affiliated companies were losses of $70 and $285 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and losses of $371 and $391 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the joint venture had a liability of $10,795 and $13,665, respectively, for the fair value of the swaps associated with the FSO Africa and FSO Asia. The Company’s share of the effective portion of such amounts, aggregating $2,226 and $2,944 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying balance sheet and is associated with the FSO Asia swaps only since the swaps associated with the FSO Africa have been de-designated and deemed to be ineffective.

 

LNG Joint Venture

 

In November 2004, the Company formed a joint venture with Qatar Gas Transport Company Limited (Nakilat) (“QGTC”) whereby companies in which OSG holds a 49.9% interest ordered four 216,200 cbm LNG Carriers. Upon delivery in late 2007 and early 2008, these vessels commenced 25-year time charters to Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (2). QGTC subsequently contributed its ownership interests in the joint venture to its wholly owned subsidiary, Nakilat Marine Services Ltd. The aggregate construction cost for such newbuildings was financed by the joint venture through long-term bank financing that is nonrecourse to the partners and partner contributions. Approximately $696,858 and $715,378 was outstanding under this secured facility as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The joint venture has entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with a group of major financial institutions pursuant to which it pays fixed rates of approximately 4.9% and receives a floating rate based on LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreements have maturity dates ranging from July to November 2022 and cover notional amounts aggregating $674,838 and $693,072 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These swaps are being accounted for as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the joint venture recorded a liability of $106,247 and $116,819, respectively, for the fair value of these swaps. The Company’s share of the effective portion of the fair value of these swaps, $52,963 and $58,240 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 9 — Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”):

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Company participates in six commercial pools and three joint ventures. One of the pools and the FSO joint venture, described in Note 8, “Equity Method Investments,” above, were determined to be VIEs. The Company is not considered a primary beneficiary of either the pool or the joint venture.

   Condensed 
   Consolidated Balance Sheet 
Investments in Affiliated Companies  $275,439 

 

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company evaluated its maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs by assuming a complete loss of the Company’s investment in these VIEs and that it would incur an obligation to repay the full amount of the VIE’s outstanding secured debt. The table below compares the Company’s liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet to the maximum exposure to loss at June 30, 2015:

 

   Condensed     
   Consolidated Balance Sheet   Maximum Exposure to Loss 
         
Other liabilities  $-   $340,500 

 

In addition, as of June 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $14,021 of trade receivables from pools that were determined to be VIEs. These trade receivables, which are included in voyage receivables in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, have been excluded from the above tables and the calculation of OSG’s maximum exposure to loss. The Company does not record the maximum exposure to loss as a liability because it does not believe that such a loss is probable of occurring as of June 30, 2015. Further, the joint venture debt is secured by the joint venture’s FSOs. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to loss under its several guarantee would first be reduced by the fair value of such FSOs.

 

Note 10 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Fair Value Disclosures

 

The following methods and assumptions were 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 their fair value.

 

Debt— The fair values of the Company’s publicly traded and non-publicly traded debt at June 30, 2015 are estimated based on quoted market prices.

 

Interest rate swaps and caps— The fair values of interest rate swaps and caps are the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the swaps or caps at the reporting date, which include adjustments for the counterparty or the Company’s credit risk, as appropriate, after taking into consideration any underlying collateral securing the swap or cap agreements.

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, relating to fair value measurements defines fair value and established 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, essentially an exit price. 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.

 

Page 26
 

 

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 - Inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, other than derivatives, that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy, are as follows:

Derivatives

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company uses interest rate caps and swaps for the management of interest rate risk exposure. The interest rate caps effectively convert a portion of the Company’s debt from a floating to a fixed rate and were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2015, OBS and OIN were party to two separate interest rate cap agreements (“Interest Rate Cap”) each with a start date of February 5, 2015 with major financial institutions covering notional amounts of $375,000 and $400,000, respectively, to limit the floating interest rate exposure associated with their respective term loans. The Interest Rate Cap agreements contain no leverage features. The OBS Interest Rate Cap has a cap rate of 2.5% through February 5, 2017, at which time the cap rate increases to 3.0% through the termination date of February 5, 2018.  The OIN Interest Rate Cap has a cap rate of 2.5% through the termination date of February 5, 2017.

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

The following tables present the fair values, which are pre-tax, for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis (excluding investments in affiliated companies):

 

   Fair Value   Level 1   Level 2 
             
Assets at June 30, 2015:               
Derivative Assets (interest rate caps)  $532   $-   $532(1)
                
Assets at December 31, 2014:               
Derivative Assets (interest rate caps)  $2,115   $-   $ 2,115 (1)

 

(1)For interest rate caps, fair values are derived using valuation models that utilize the income valuation approach. These valuation models take into account contract terms such as maturity, as well as other inputs such as interest rate yield curves and creditworthiness of the counterparty and the Company.

Note 11 — Taxes:

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $3,529 and a benefit of $50,414, respectively, which represents effective tax rates of 6% and 20%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $6,189 and a benefit of $49,085, respectively, which represents effective tax rates of 6% and 21%, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had a reserve for uncertain tax positions of $37,004 and $34,520, respectively, after taking into consideration tax attributes, such as net operating loss carryforwards, and accrued interest of $872 and $534, respectively. Taxes otherwise payable on current year taxable income earned by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are recorded as an unrecognized tax benefit based on the anticipated use of net operating loss carryforwards (recorded as a deferred tax asset) previously offset in full by unrecognized tax benefits. Such increase in unrecognized tax benefits is offset by a reduction in deferred taxes.

 

The Company’s application for a Pre-Filing Agreement with the IRS with respect to OSG’s payments as guarantor made during 2014 has been accepted by the IRS and the examination of the Company’s position by the IRS is ongoing. As a result, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $179,151 in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months. Such decrease could result in an increase in the Company’s deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards or an increase in its tax basis in foreign subsidiaries.

 

Note 12 — Capital Stock and Stock Compensation:

 

Warrant Conversions

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 863,561 shares of Class A common stock and 1,867,882 shares of Class B common stock as a result of the exercise of 866,086 Class A warrants and 1,872,194 Class B warrants, respectively.

 

Stock Compensation

 

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

Director Compensation - Restricted Common Stock

 

OSG shareholders approved the Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. Non-Employee Director Incentive Compensation Plan on June 9, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company awarded an aggregate of 272,796 restricted Class A common stock shares to the directors (each a “Director”) serving on the Board of Directors of Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (the “Board”), with a measurement date fair value of $3.43 per share and an aggregate fair market value of $936, including 16,233 shares and 256,563 shares vesting in full on August 13, 2015 and June 9, 2016, respectively, subject to the Director continuing to provide services to the Company through such dates. The shares granted may not be transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered prior to vesting. Prior to the vesting date, a holder of restricted stock has all the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive dividends paid with respect to such shares at the same time as common shareholders generally.

 

On March 3, 2015, Mr. John J. Ray, III resigned from the Board. Pursuant to a waiver letter agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. Ray in connection with his resignation, 32,282 shares of the 58,333 shares originally granted to Mr. Ray, relating to his period of service as a director, vested on March 3, 2015. The balance of his restricted stock awards (26,051 shares) was forfeited and cancelled. The incremental compensation expense recognized as a result of the difference between the grant date fair value of the vested shares and estimated fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock on March 3, 2015 was approximately $8.

 

Management Compensation - Restricted Stock Units and Stock Options

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company entered into employment agreements with three executive officers which provided for stock compensation grants. One of the grants was to be comprised of time–based restricted stock units, which vest over a three year period. The remaining two grants were each to be comprised of one-third stock options, one-third time-based restricted stock units and one-third performance based restricted stock units, each subject to three year vesting. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted restricted stock unit awards to certain employees, each award subject to three years vesting.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 1,499,484 time-based restricted stock units and stock options covering 959,232 shares to the three executives and certain other employees described above. Such awards were made pursuant to Form of Grant Agreements conditioned upon shareholder approval of the Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“Management Plan”) within 12 months of the grant date. OSG shareholders approved the Management Plan on June 9, 2015, which established a measurement date and fair value for both the time-based restricted stock units and stock option awards of $3.43 and $1.40 per share, respectively, which had aggregate measurement date fair values of $5,143 and $1,343, respectively. No performance based restricted stock unit awards pursuant to employment agreements entered into during 2015 and 2014 have been made as of June 30, 2015.

 

There were no stock options, restricted common stock, restricted stock units or performance related grants under the 2004 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

On May 21, 2014, the Company filed notice with the Bankruptcy Court that it was rejecting the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan effective June 1, 2014. As a result of the rejection of the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, all unvested awards and any OSG equity interests thereunder were cancelled and holders of unvested awards are not entitled to participate in the rights offering or to vote on or received distributions under the Equity Plan (See Note 2, “Chapter 11 Filing and Emergence from Bankruptcy”). As a result of the cancellation of the unvested awards, the unrecognized stock compensation expense relating to unvested stock options, restricted common stock and restricted stock units was accelerated, and a charge of $1,796 was recorded to reorganization items in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 a $279 benefit was recorded in general and administrative expenses relating to a revision of the estimated forfeiture rates to actual forfeiture rates.

 

Stock compensation expense/(benefit) related to awards of stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock of $624 and $(26) was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $981 and $517 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 14 — Leases:

 

1. Charters-in:

 

Between December 31, 2012 and April 2013, the Bankruptcy Court issued orders approving the Company’s rejection of leases on 25 chartered-in International Flag vessels. The Company entered into new lease agreements at lower rates on eight of the chartered-in vessels (seven Handysize Product Carriers and one Aframax), which lease agreements were assumed as amended pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court, at lower rates. One Suezmax and one Handysize Product Carrier were redelivered to owners in December 2012 and an additional fifteen vessels (11 Handysize Product Carriers, two Panamax Product Carriers, one Suezmax and one Aframax), were redelivered during the four months ended April 30, 2013.

 

Page 36
 

 

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company recorded charges relating to the rejected leases that were redelivered or amended through April 30, 2013 including a) interest expense of $7,025 for contractual post-petition interest and b) reorganization items of $6,052 for post-petition interest at the post-petition rate allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had commitments to charter in 17 vessels. All of the charters-in are accounted for as operating leases, of which 13 are bareboat charters and four are time charters. Lease expense relating to charters-in is included in “charter hire expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The future minimum commitments and related number of operating days under these operating leases are as follows:

 

Bareboat Charters-in at

June 30, 2015  Amount   Operating Days 
2015  $49,872    2,392 
2016   99,038    4,758 
2017   98,219    4,713 
2018   93,200    3,929 
2019   111,819    3,470 
Thereafter   50,300    2,008 
Net minimum lease payments  $502,448    21,270 

 

Time Charters-in at

June 30, 2015  Amount   Operating Days 
2015  $12,364    1,172 
2016   1,004    73 
2017   -    - 
Net minimum lease payments  $13,368    1,245 

 

The future minimum commitments for time charters-in excludes amounts with respect to vessels chartered-in where the duration of the charter was one year or less at the inception but includes amounts with respect to workboats employed in the International Crude Tankers Lightering business. Time charter-in commitments have been reduced to reflect estimated days that the vessels will not be available for employment due to drydock because the Company does not pay time charter hire when time chartered-in vessels are not available for its use. Certain of the bareboat charters-in provide for the payment of profit share to the owners of the vessels calculated in accordance with the respective charter agreements. Because such amounts and the periods impacted are not reasonably estimable they are not currently reflected in the table above. Due to reserve funding requirements, no profits are expected to be paid to the owners before 2017. Certain of the charters in the above tables also provide the Company with renewal and purchase options.

2. Charters-out:

 

The future minimum revenues, before reduction for brokerage commissions, expected to be received on noncancelable time charters and certain contracts of affreightment (“COAs”) for which minimum annual revenues can be reasonably estimated and the related revenue days (revenue days represent calendar days, less days that vessels are not available for employment due to repairs, drydock or lay-up) are as follows:

 

At June 30, 2015  Amount   Revenue Days 
2015  $220,851    4,908 
2016   327,282    6,131 
2017   208,088    3,306 
2018   146,657    2,030 
2019   78,423    938 
Thereafter   176,082    2,078 
Future minimum revenues  $1,157,383    19,391 

 

Future minimum revenues do not include (1) the Company’s share of time charters entered into by the pools in which it participates, (2) the Company’s share of time charters entered into by the joint ventures, which the Company accounts for under the equity method and (3) COAs for which minimum annual revenues cannot be reasonably estimated. Revenues from those COAs that are included in the table above, $12,105 (2015), $22,023 (2016), $22,347 (2017), $22,698 (2018), $23,031 (2019) and $6,356 thereafter, are based on minimum annual volumes of cargo to be loaded during the contract periods at a fixed price and do not contemplate early termination of the COAs as provided in the agreements. Amounts that would be due to the Company in the event of the cancellation of the COA contracts have not been reflected in the table above. Revenues from a time charter are not generally received when a vessel is off-hire, including time required for normal periodic maintenance of the vessel. In arriving at the minimum future charter revenues, an estimated time off-hire to perform periodic maintenance on each vessel has been deducted, although there is no assurance that such estimate will be reflective of the actual off-hire in the future.

 

Note 15 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans:

 

The net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s domestic defined benefit pension (for which the benefits have been frozen) and postretirement health care and life insurance plans was not material during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

The Company does not expect to make contributions to its domestic defined benefit pension plan in 2015 because any minimum contributions required for 2015 will be met from excess contributions made during 2014 as a result of the provisions of the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 enacted in August 2014.

 

Certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have pension plans that, in the aggregate, are not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position. The liabilities for such pension plans are included in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. In August 2014, OSG provided a guarantee to the Trustees of the OSG Ship Management (UK) Ltd. Retirement Benefits Plan (the “Scheme”), which superseded entirely a guarantee previously entered into in November 2010, in respect to the obligations of OSG Ship Management (UK) Ltd., the principal employer of the Scheme, in the amount not to exceed GBP 4,896 ($7,684 and $7,601 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively)

Note 16 –Severance Costs:

 

Severance related costs are recognized over the period commencing on the date on which the affected employees are notified and ending on the date when required services are completed.

 

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

 

On January 13, 2014, the Company announced that certain subsidiaries of OSG that owned or chartered-in 33 International Flag vessels (which was subsequently increased to 46 vessels) intended to outsource certain management services, including, but not limited to, the technical management, certain aspects of commercial management and crew management to V. Ships UK Limited (“V.Ships”). Charges relating to employee transition and termination benefits and similar transition and termination costs (“Outsourcing RIF”) and set-up, wind down and transition costs (“Transition Costs”) are included separately in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Management does not to expect to incur any significant additional Outsourcing RIF costs in the remainder of 2015. Outsourcing RIF severance costs of $17,020 were incurred for the year ended 2014, of which $7,964 and $14,647 were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 comprised of $1,674 and $3,101, respectively, relating to the International Crude Tankers business segment and $3,521 and $6,237, respectively, relating to the International Product Carriers business segment, with the balance for each period relating to corporate offices. Transition Costs of $1,638 and $1,832 incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included $656 and $747, respectively, relating to the International Crude Tankers business segment and $956 and $1,017, respectively, relating to the International Product Carriers business segment with the balance for each period relating to corporate offices. Management does not expect to incur significant additional costs relating to the winding down of activities of its foreign office locations in 2015.

 

Activity relating to the reserves for the Outsourcing RIF for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is summarized as follows:

 

Activity for the six months ended June 30,  2015   2014

Note 17 — Contingencies:

 

The Company’s policy for recording legal costs related to contingencies is to expense such legal costs as incurred.

 

Class Action Lawsuits and Derivative Actions

 

The Company has fully and finally resolved all potential direct claims by members of the putative class of securities claimants through a settlement effectuated through the Equity Plan, which became effective on August 5, 2014. Under the terms of that settlement, the Equity Plan provides for full satisfaction of the claims of the putative class through (i) $7,000 in cash, which was paid on August 5, 2014, (ii) 15% of the net litigation recovery in the action against Proskauer, described below, (iii) $5,000 in cash, payable following the entry of a final order resolving the Proskauer action, (iv) $3,000 in cash, payable by the reorganized Company on August 5, 2015, (v) proceeds of any residual interest the Company has in certain director and officer insurance policies, and (vi) any remaining cash in the class E1 disputed claims reserve established by the Equity Plan following resolution of all other class E1 claims. The settlement proceeds will be held in escrow pending allocations and distributions to members of the putative class to be determined by the district court overseeing the Exchange Act claims.

 

The settled claims stem from the Company’s filing of a Form 8-K on October 22, 2012 disclosing that on October 19, 2012 the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, on the recommendation of management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for at least the three years ended December 31, 2011 and associated interim periods, and for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, should no longer be relied upon. Shortly thereafter several putative class action suits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Southern District”) against the Company, its then President and Chief Executive Officer, its then Chief Financial Officer, its then current and certain former members of its Board of the Directors, its current independent registered public accounting firm, and underwriters of the Company’s public offering of notes in March 2010 (the “Offering”). The Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm was later added as a defendant. Subsequent to the Company’s filing for relief under Chapter 11, these suits were consolidated and the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that does not name the Company as a defendant. The consolidated suit is purportedly on behalf of purchasers of Company securities between March 1, 2010 and October 19, 2012 and purchasers of notes in the Offering. The plaintiffs allege that documents that the Company filed with the SEC were defective, inaccurate and misleading, that the plaintiffs relied on such documents in purchasing the Company’s securities, and that, as a result, the plaintiffs suffered losses. The plaintiffs assert claims under the Securities Act against all defendants and claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) against the then former President and former Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Following additional amendments on plaintiffs’ Exchange Act claims and motion to dismiss briefing, on April 28, 2014, the Southern District denied the motion to dismiss the Exchange Act claims filed by the then former President and former Chief Financial Officer on the third amended complaint. On July 2, 2014, the Southern District issued a scheduling order provided that discovery would be completed by July 22, 2015. On October 20, 2014, the plaintiffs moved for leave to file another amended complaint alleging claims under the Exchange Act against the Company’s current and former independent registered public accounting firms, and on November 28, 2014, the Southern District denied the plaintiffs’ motion. On March 18, 2015, OSG’s former independent registered public accounting firm moved for summary judgment and on May 29, 2015, the Southern District granted that motion. On July 1, 2015, the plaintiffs noticed an appeal of the Southern District’s order granting that motion, as well as all prior related rulings, including the Southern District’s denial of the plaintiffs’ motion to amend their complaint, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Plaintiffs’ opening brief in that appeal is due on October 13, 2015. All defendants other than OSG’s former independent registered public accounting firm have reached settlements in principle with the plaintiffs, which remain subject to review and approval by the Southern District.

The plaintiffs in the Southern District action filed a proof of claim against the Company in the Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to a settlement with such plaintiffs and the putative class on whose behalf their claim is filed, their direct claims against the Company are fully and finally resolved based on the Equity Plan treatment described above. Separately, certain of the defendants in the Southern District have filed claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the Company for indemnification or reimbursement based on potential losses incurred in connection with such action. Certain of those indemnification claims, asserted by former directors of the Company, have been released pursuant to the Equity Plan. In addition, the indemnification claims asserted by the Company’s former underwriters have been capped at no more than $1,500, pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court. All claims of the defendants in the Southern District against the Company are subordinated pursuant to Section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and are classified in Class E1. Under the Equity Plan, subordinated claims against the Company are limited to recoveries from a segregated reserve of $2,000 to be funded by the Company pursuant to the Equity Plan. The Equity Plan and related confirmation order do not permit any recoveries by the defendants beyond this $2,000 cap. Any amounts remaining following full and complete satisfaction of all Class E1 claims, including claims of defendants in the Southern District, will be distributed to members of the putative class pursuant to the terms of the settlement described above. The Equity Plan and confirmation order foreclose the defendants in the Southern District from pursuing any other or further remedies against the Company. As such, management estimates the amount of its exposure with respect to the actions pending before the Southern District described above at between zero and $2,000.

 

Proskauer Action

 

On February 23, 2014, Proskauer and four of its partners (the “Proskauer Plaintiffs”) filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “Supreme Court”) against the then Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary and the former Chief Financial Officer alleging that the defendants engaged in tortious and fraudulent conduct that caused significant harm to the Proskauer Plaintiffs and the Company. The Proskauer Plaintiffs alleged that the defendants made false representations and thereby deceived and misled Proskauer into providing legal advice to the Company, which was the subject of the Company’s malpractice suit against Proskauer and four of its partners filed on November 18, 2013 in the Bankruptcy Court. On May 1, 2014, the defendants in the action filed by the Proskauer Plaintiffs filed motions to dismiss the action. On June 9, 2014, the Proskauer Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that included certain additional factual allegations and an additional claim against the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On July 18, 2014, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the Proskauer Plaintiffs’ amended complaint. On January 15, 2015, the Supreme Court dismissed the Proskauer Plaintiffs’ amended complaint in its entirety against the defendants. On March 2, 2015, the Proskauer Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the Supreme Court’s decision to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, First Department, but to date have not filed any brief.

On February 21, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court declined to hear the Company’s malpractice claims against Proskauer and four of its partners that were filed on November 18, 2013 under the doctrine of permissive abstention, and on March 11, 2014, the Company re-filed its malpractice claims against such defendants in the Supreme Court. On April 11, 2014, Proskauer and four of its partners filed a motion to dismiss the malpractice action, and on September 10, 2014, the Supreme Court denied the motion to dismiss the legal malpractice for breach of duty of care claim but granted the motion to dismiss the legal malpractice for breach of duty of loyalty claim as subsumed within the duty of care claim. Proskauer and four of its partners appealed this decision to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, First Department and on July 2, 2015, the appellate court affirmed the Supreme Court’s denial of Proskauer’s motion to dismiss. In addition, on December 3, 2014, the Company filed a motion with the Supreme Court for partial summary judgment on whether the “joint and several” liability provisions of certain of the Company’s prior loan agreements, which are the focus of the malpractice action, are unambiguous as a matter of law. The Supreme Court denied that motion as being procedurally premature on July 24, 2015.

 

On May 20, 2015, the Supreme Court issued a scheduling order for discovery in the Company’s malpractice action against Proskauer. Under the terms of the scheduling order, all discovery is to be completed by April 15, 2016.

   

SEC Investigation

 

On November 13, 2012, the Company received from the staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement (the “Staff”) a request for documents relating to the statements in the Company’s October 22, 2012 Form 8-K. On January 29, 2013, the SEC issued a formal order of private investigation of the Company. The Company has provided documents to the SEC and intends to continue to cooperate fully with the SEC’s investigation.

 

The Equity Plan provides for funding for potential liabilities that the SEC may assert in connection with its proof of claim (the “SEC Claim”) to the extent that the SEC Claim is allowed. The SEC filed the SEC Claim in respect of contingent and unliquidated amounts that the SEC may assert against the Company as a result of the outcome of its investigation of the Company and certain of its advisors. Pursuant to the Equity Plan, the Debtors will fund a cash reserve of up to $5,000 to satisfy any liabilities on account of the SEC Claim, solely to the extent and upon the entry of a final order of the Bankruptcy Court providing that the SEC Claim or any portion thereof is allowed. The SEC and the Debtors have agreed that there is no inference, assertion, concession, admission, determination or conclusion that should be drawn from the establishment of the reserve, as the SEC’s investigation of the Company, its advisors and individuals inside and outside of the Company is ongoing, and the SEC will make a determination of whether there were securities laws violations only at the conclusion of its investigation. The SEC has reached no such conclusion, and the Staff sought a reserve solely in recognition of the fact that the SEC had not completed its investigation prior to the Equity Plan’s confirmation.

 

Environmental Incident

 

On July 16, 2013, the Company received notification through its compliance reporting system that possible pollution violations from one of its Marshall Islands-flagged vessels had occurred. The report alleged that there had been improper discharges of bilge holding tank contents directly overboard and not, as required by Company policies and law, through the installed Oily Water Separator or to shore side reception facilities.

On July 26, 2013, after conducting a preliminary investigation, the Company informed the Marshall Islands Maritime Administration (the “Flag State”) of potential violations of law and the Flag State commenced an investigation. The Company has cooperated with the Flag State preliminary investigation. On July 31, 2013, the Company voluntarily disclosed to the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Department of Justice the results of the Company’s and the Flag State’s preliminary investigations, including possible improper discharges from the vessel’s bilge holding tank and apparent false entries in, or apparent omission of required entries from, the vessel’s Oil Record Book Part I while the vessel was in U.S. waters. On June 4, 2014, the U.S. Coast Guard accepted the Company’s self-reporting of this matter under the Coast Guard’s voluntary disclosure policy. Under such policy, the Coast Guard will not recommend to the U.S. Department of Justice or other prosecuting authority that criminal charges be brought against the Company arising from this matter. The Company is cooperating with the Department of Justice in its investigation resulting from the voluntary disclosures. Any liabilities for potential fines or penalties that may be imposed in connection with this matter cannot be estimated at this time.

 

Legal Proceedings Arising in the Ordinary Course of Business

 

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, should not be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

General:

 

We are a leading provider of ocean transportation services for crude oil and refined petroleum products, and the only major tanker company to operate in both the U.S. Flag and International Flag fleet markets. We operate our vessels in two strategic business units: we serve the U.S. Flag market through our subsidiary OBS and the International Flag market through our subsidiary OIN. Our U.S. Flag business operates as a single reportable segment. Our International Flag business includes two reportable segments: International Crude Tankers and International Product Carriers.

 

As of June 30, 2015, we owned or operated a fleet of 80 vessels aggregating 7.5 million deadweight tons (“dwt”) and 864,800 cubic meters (“cbm”), including 17 vessels that have been chartered-in under operating leases. Our 24-vessel U.S. Flag fleet includes tankers and articulated tug barges (“ATBs”), of which 22 operate under the Jones Act and two operate internationally in the U.S. Maritime Security Program. Our 56-vessel International Flag fleet includes ULCC, VLCC, Aframax and Panamax crude tankers and LR1, LR2 and MR product carriers, as well as two floating storage and offloading (“FSO”) vessels and four liquefied natural gas (‘LNG’) carriers operated by our international joint ventures (collectively, the “JV Vessels”). Revenues from our U.S. Flag fleet and JV Vessels are derived predominantly from time charter agreements which, within a contract period, provide a more predictable level of revenues. Revenues from our International Flag fleet (other than the JV Vessels) are derived predominantly from spot market voyage charters as those vessels are predominantly employed in the spot market via market-leading commercial pools. We derived approximately 54% and 53% of our total time charter equivalent (“TCE”) revenues in the spot market for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and 45% and 51% for the three and six months ended June 2014, respectively. Revenues from our International Flag fleet constituted 51% and 50% of our total TCE revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and 39% and 47% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Revenues from our U.S. Flag segment constituted 49% and 50% of our total TCE revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and 61% and 53% for the three and six months ended June 2014, respectively.

 

All dollar amounts are in thousands, except daily dollar amounts and per share amounts.

 

Our Emergence from Bankruptcy

 

We emerged from Bankruptcy on August 5, 2014. During the period from November 14, 2012 through August 4, 2014, we conducted our business in the ordinary course as debtors-in-possession under the protection of the Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to the Equity Plan, all claims allowed by the Bankruptcy Court (other than subordinated claims) were either reinstated or paid in full in cash plus interest for the period from November 14, 2012 through the Effective Date, at either the contractual rate as provided by statute, or, at the rate of 2.98%, as set forth in the Equity Plan.

 

As part of an overall strategy to position the Company to successfully emerge from Chapter 11 with a smaller, more concentrated fleet without the need for costly systems, multiple offices and the associated expenses, we embarked on an organizational restructuring process between the Petition Date and September 2014 that notably involved (i) rejecting 25 executory contracts relating to above-market charter agreements (17 of the vessels were redelivered and 8 were renegotiated), (ii) exiting our full service International Crude Tankers Lightering business to focus only on ship-to-ship Lightering services, (iii) outsourcing the technical and commercial management of our International Flag conventional tanker fleet and (iv) deleveraging our balance sheet by using a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from two exit financing facilities and an equity offering to pay down $2,131,290 of our pre-petition debt obligations of $2,577,290 (gross of original issue discount). As of June 30, 2015 our total debt (including the Exit Financing Facilities and gross of original issue discount) was $1,664,962. We believe these actions have positioned us to compete more effectively in the markets in which we operate.

The following is a discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2015 and results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. You should consider the foregoing when reviewing the condensed consolidated financial statements and this discussion and analysis. You should read this section together with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes industry data and forecasts that we have prepared based, in part, on information obtained from industry publications and surveys. Third-party industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. In addition, certain statements regarding our market position in this report are based on information derived from the Company’s market studies and research reports. Unless we state otherwise, statements about the Company’s relative competitive position in this report are based on our management's beliefs, internal studies and management's knowledge of industry trends.

 

Operations and Oil Tanker Markets:

 

The Company’s revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by the Company and the trades in which those vessels operate. Rates for the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products from which the Company earns a substantial majority of its revenues 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. The demand for oil shipments is significantly affected by the state of the global economy, levels of U.S. domestic production and OPEC exports. The number of vessels is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally because of storage, scrappings or conversions. The Company’s revenues are also affected by the mix of charters between spot (voyage charter) and long-term (time or bareboat charter). Because shipping revenues and voyage expenses are significantly affected by the mix between voyage charters and time charters, the Company manages its vessels based on TCE revenues. Management makes economic decisions based on anticipated TCE rates and evaluates financial performance based on TCE rates achieved.

 

The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) estimates global oil consumption for the second quarter of 2015 at 93.1 million barrels per day (“b/d”) an increase of 1.5 million b/d or 1.6% over the same quarter in 2014. The increase was mainly caused by higher demand in non-OECD areas. The estimate for global oil consumption for all of 2015 is 94.0 million b/d, an increase of 1.5% compared with 2014. OECD demand in 2015 is estimated to increase by 0.4% to around 46.0 million b/d.

 

Global oil production in the second quarter of 2015 reached 95.7 million b/d, an increase of 3.1 million b/d over the second quarter of 2014. OPEC crude oil production continued its increased production levels averaging 31.1 million b/d in the second quarter of 2015 up from 29.7 million b/d in the second quarter of 2014, and 30.3 million b/d in the first quarter of 2015. Non-OPEC production growth, largely driven by the United States, increased by 1.4 million b/d in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014 to reach 58.0 million b/d. Oil production in the United States increased by 1.5 million b/d in the second quarter of 2015 to 12.9 million b/d compared with the second quarter of 2014.

 

Page 47
 

 

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

U.S. refinery throughput increased by about 0.3 million b/d in the second quarter compared with the comparable quarter in 2014. Crude oil imports, however, decreased by about 0.3 million b/d as local production growth more than offset the change in crude runs. Imports from OPEC countries were reduced by 0.8 million b/d.

 

Chinese imports of crude oil increased by 7.5% during the first half of the year, averaging 6.6 million b/d. June imports were reported to be 7.2 million b/d. This has had a continued positive impact on VLCC rates in 2015.

 

During the second quarter of 2015, the world tanker fleet of vessels over 10,000 dwt increased by 4.9 million dwt as the crude fleet increased by 3.2 million dwt and the product carrier fleet expanded by 1.7 million dwt. Compared to June 30, 2014, the size of the tanker fleet increased by 12.6 million dwt with MRs and VLCCs increasing by 5.6 and 3.6 million dwt respectively, the Aframax fleet expanding by 2.7 million dwt, the Suezmax fleet increasing by 1.3 million dwt and the Panamax sector decreasing by 0.5 million dwt.

 

During the second quarter of 2015, the tanker orderbook increased by 2.1 million dwt, led by VLCCs with an increase of 2.3 million dwt followed by Suezmaxes (1.3 million dwt increase) and Aframaxes (0.6 million dwt increase). The MR and Panamax orderbooks decreased by 1.9 and 0.2 million dwt, respectively. Year over year, the total tanker orderbook gained 8.7 million dwt attributable primarily to increases in the Suezmax and VLCC fleets with smaller increases in the Aframax and Panamax orderbooks. The MR orderbook has decreased by 5.5 million dwt from a year ago.

 

VLCC freight rates continued their upward trend in the second quarter of 2015, driven by higher Chinese imports as well as a general tightness of tonnage availability. Aframax rates followed the VLCC lead with improved rates throughout the second quarter while Suezmax rates decreased. Panamax and MR earnings also continued their upward trend.

 

TCE rates for prompt Jones Act Product Carriers and large ATBs averaged $90,700 and $61,800 per day, respectively, during the second quarter of 2015, representing a decrease of 4% and an increase of 2%, respectively, for each class of vessel compared with the second quarter of 2014. Rates during the first half of 2015 decreased approximately 4% and increased 2%, respectively, for each class of vessel compared with the first half of 2014. These are estimated rates as there was little spot-market activity in the second quarter of 2015 because nearly all vessels were committed to time charters in the U.S. Flag coastwise trades. Spot voyages only occurred when time-charter customers relet their vessels for the occasional voyage or Delaware Bay lightering vessels were employed when underutilized in the lightering service. The slight softening in rates in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014 for Jones Act Product Carriers reflects the uncertainty created by the sharp drop in crude oil prices (and what that might mean to domestic crude oil production) in the fourth quarter of 2014. The charter rates for ATBs were also negatively affected by the uncertainty created by falling crude oil prices, but the impact was more than offset by the benefit resulting from the decrease in fuel costs.

 

The average monthly rate of production from the Eagle Ford formation increased by approximately 0.18 million b/d in June 2015 compared with June 2014. Eagle Ford oil is transported through pipeline infrastructure to Corpus Christi where it is loaded on Jones Act vessels for transportation to refineries in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and the Philadelphia area.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

As of June 30, 2015, the industry’s entire Jones Act fleet of Product Carriers and large ATBs (defined as vessels having carrying capacities of between 0.14 million barrels and 0.35 million barrels, which excludes numerous small tank barges below 0.14 million barrel capacity and 10 much larger tankers dedicated exclusively to the Alaskan crude oil trade) consisted of 73 vessels. There were no newbuild deliveries or vessels scrapped during the second quarter of 2015. In addition to the 73 vessels mentioned above, there are two late-1970s-built Alaskan crude tankers (ex Kodiak and ex Sierra) that were sold by Exxon to competitors who are expected to redeploy them into the lower 48 coastwise trade. The Kodiak, renamed the Eagle Ford, has already been redeployed into the Eagle Ford crude trade since January. Exxon delivered the Sierra, renamed the Seakay Spirit, in June and joined the domestic crude oil trade in the U.S. Gulf in August.

 

The industry’s firm Jones Act orderbook as of June 30, 2015, with deliveries scheduled between the third quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2017 consisted of 24 vessels (14 Product Carriers and ten large ATBs). Options for an additional two Product Carriers and four ATBs remain open.

 

Delaware Bay lightering volumes averaged 0.09 million b/d in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 0.13 million b/d in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease resulted from Delaware Bay refineries sourcing increased amounts of crude oil via rail and Jones Act vessels at the expense of crude imports. OSG’s lightering ATBs have offset reduced lightering demand by occasionally engaging in coastwise voyages transporting domestic crude oil from the U.S. Gulf Coast to refineries in the Philadelphia area.

 

Update on Critical Accounting Policies:

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require the Company to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. For a description of all of the Company’s material accounting policies, see Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2014. There have been no changes in the Company’s evaluation of its critical accounting policies since December 31, 2014.

 

Results from Vessel Operations:

 

During the second quarter of 2015, results from vessel operations improved by $81,986 to income of $80,457 from a loss of $1,529 in the second quarter of 2014. This increase reflects the impact of a significant strengthening of TCE revenues, and decreases in charter hire expense, severance costs, general and administrative expense and technical management transition costs. Such impacts were partially offset by a period-over-period increase in vessel expenses.

 

During the first six months of 2015, income from vessel operations improved by $112,488 to $145,589 from $33,101 in the first six months of 2014. This increase resulted from a growth in TCE revenues, lower charter hire expense, and decreases in severance costs, general and administrative expense and technical management transition costs. Such impacts were partially offset by a period-over-period increase in vessel expenses.

TCE revenues increased in the second quarter of 2015 by $63,555, or 37%, to $235,203 from $171,648 in the second quarter of 2014 and by $70,644, or 18%, to $456,845 during the first six months of 2015 from $386,201 in the corresponding period of the prior year. These increases were due to (i) a strengthening of rates in all of the International Flag sectors, most significantly in the VLCC, Aframax and Handysize Product Carrier fleets and (ii) a continued robust Jones Act market benefitting the U.S. Flag segment. These positive factors were partially offset by an 859 day and a 2,291 day decrease in revenue days during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, which was driven by (i) fewer chartered-in days in the current and year-to-date periods, (ii) the Company’s exit from the full service International Flag Lightering business upon the expiry of its Lightering contracts in September 2014, and (iii) the sale of two VLCCs and one Panamax in December 2014.

 

Decreases in charter hire expense in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 compared with the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 were principally the result of the redeliveries of ten vessels (eight Aframaxes, one Suezmax and one MR) at the expiry of their short-term time charters in 2014. Also contributing to the decrease was the redelivery of one additional MR upon the expiration of its time charter in March 2015.

 

The increase in 2015 vessel expenses resulted primarily from (i) reactivation and operating costs incurred in conjunction with the Company’s ULCC being taken out of lay-up in the first quarter of 2015 and commencing a time charter in in April 2015, (ii) incremental costs relating to the redelivery of one of the Company’s Panamaxes that had previously been bareboat chartered-out, (iii) the Company taking delivery of a newbuild LR2 in the third quarter of 2014, and technical management fees paid to V.Ships. As discussed in further detail in Note 16, “Severance Costs,” the Company began transferring management of 46 of its International Flag conventional tankers to V.Ships in March 2014 and completed the 46 vessel transfers by September of 2014. Three of the transferred vessels were subsequently sold during the fourth quarter of 2014. With the reactivation of the ULCC and Panamax bareboat charter out redelivery, there were 45 vessels under V.Ships’ technical management as of June 30, 2015. Vessel operating expenses in the first six months of 2015 included approximately $3,400 in technical management fees, compared with approximately $800 in the first six months of 2014. These increases in vessel expense are more than offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

 

See Note 6, “Business and Segment Reporting,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s segments, including equity in income of affiliated companies and reconciliations of (i) time charter equivalent revenues to shipping revenues and (ii) income/(loss) from vessel operations for the segments to income/(loss) before income taxes and reorganization items, as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Information with respect to the Company’s proportionate share of revenue days for vessels operating in companies accounted for using the equity method is shown below in the discussion of “Equity in Income of Affiliated Companies.”

During the second quarter of 2015, TCE revenues for the International Crude Tankers segment increased by $32,292, or 72%, to $76,968 from $44,676 in the second quarter of 2014. This increase resulted from a substantial strengthening in average daily rates across all fleets in the segment, with the increased rates in the VLCC and Aframax sectors being especially significant. Further contributing to the increase was the Company’s ULCC exiting lay-up and commencing an 11-month time charter for storage in April 2015. Partially offsetting the growth in rates was a 906 day decrease in revenue days. The decrease in revenue days reflects a reduction in the International Crude Tankers Lightering fleet associated with the Company’s exit from the full service International Flag Lightering business upon the expiry of its Lightering contracts in September 2014. Such reduction included the September 2014 sale of a 1994-built Aframax that had been utilized in the International Flag Lightering business. Also contributing to the decrease in revenue days were 453 fewer chartered-in days in the Aframax fleet, as well as the Company’s sale of a 1996-built VLCC, a 1997-built VLCC and a 2004-built Panamax in December 2014.

 

Vessel expenses decreased by $454 to $20,369 in the second quarter of 2015 from $20,823 in the second quarter of 2014. The change in vessel expense is primarily due to a 455 day decrease in owned and bareboat chartered-in vessels resulting from the fleet changes noted above, partially offset by increases in expenses associated with the reactivation of the ULCC in the first quarter of 2015 and one of the Company’s Panamaxes that had previously been bareboat chartered-out, as well as an increase in average daily vessel expenses of $271. Charter hire expenses decreased by $7,243 to $1,571 in the second quarter of 2015 from $8,814 in the second quarter of 2014, resulting from a decrease of 691 chartered-in days in the current period, driven by the return of vessels discussed above. The only vessels in the segment chartered-in by the Company during the second quarter of 2015 were workboats employed in the International Flag Lightering business. Depreciation expense decreased by $1,617 to $12,720 in the current quarter from $14,337 in the second quarter of 2014, reflecting the 2014 vessel sales noted above.

 

During the first six months of 2015, TCE revenues for the International Crude Tankers segment increased by $16,191, or 13%, to $143,789 from $127,598 in the first six months of 2014 as a result of higher average daily rates across all fleets in the segment, with the increased rates in the VLCC sector being especially significant. These increases in rates were partially offset by a 2,356 day decrease in revenue days. The decrease in revenue days reflects the decreases in fleet levels discussed above, as well as the sale of one 1994-built Aframax that had been employed in the International Flag Lightering business.

 

Vessel expenses decreased by $1,031 to $41,205 in the first six months of 2015 from $42,236 in the first six months of 2014. The change in vessel expense is primarily due to a 985 day decrease in owned and bareboat chartered-in vessels resulting from the fleet changes noted above, partially offset by increases in expenses associated with the reactivation of the ULCC in the first quarter of 2015 and one of the Company’s Panamaxes that had previously been bareboat chartered-out, as well as an increase in average daily vessel expenses of $226. Charter hire expenses decreased by $19,870 to $3,120 in the first six months of 2015 from $22,990 in the first six months of 2014, primarily resulting from a decrease of 1,654 chartered-in days in the current period, driven by the return of the vessels discussed above. Depreciation expense decreased by $3,432 to $25,165 in the first six months of 2015 from $28,597 in the first six months of 2014, as a result of the vessel sales discussed above.

Excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, operating results for the International Crude Tankers Lightering business for the first six months of 2015 were approximately $4,231 lower than the prior year’s period. Weaker results reflect, in part, reductions in the size of the Lightering business’ owned and chartered-in fleet due to the exit from providing full service Lightering.

During the second quarter of 2015, TCE revenues for the International Product Carriers segment increased by $20,076, or 90%, to $42,367 from $22,291 in the second quarter of 2014. This increase in TCE revenues resulted primarily from significant period-over-period increases in average daily spot rates earned by the Handysize Product Carrier fleet. Also contributing to the increased TCE revenues was the delivery of a newbuild LR2 in July 2014.

 

International Product Carriers segment vessel expenses increased by $863 to $13,819 in the second quarter of 2015 from $12,956 in the second quarter of 2014. Such increase reflects the newbuild LR2 delivery referenced above. Charter hire expenses decreased by $1,876 to $6,673 in the second quarter of 2015 from $8,549 in the second quarter of 2014 reflecting 124 fewer chartered-in days in the Handysize Product Carrier fleet, as vessels were returned to their owners at the expiry of their charters. Depreciation and amortization increased by $466 to $6,923 in the second quarter of 2015 from $6,457 in the second quarter of 2014, principally due to the LR2 delivery discussed above.

 

During the first six months of 2015, TCE revenues for the International Product Carriers segment increased by $32,354, or 60%, to $85,884 from $53,530 in the first six months of 2014. This increase resulted from a combination of an increase in average daily blended rates earned by the Handysize Product Carriers and a 101 day increase in revenue days. The growth in revenue days was driven by the LR2 delivery along with fewer drydock days in the Handysize Product Carrier fleet.

Vessel expenses increased by $2,440 to $28,286 in the first six months of 2015 from $25,846 in the first six months of 2014. This change reflects the LR2 delivery combined with an increase of average daily vessel expenses by $302 per day, which related to higher crew and repair costs and V.Ships technical management fees. Charter hire expenses decreased by $3,028 to $14,469 in the first six months of 2015 from $17,497 in the first six months of 2014 primarily due to the charter expiries referred to above. Depreciation and amortization increased by $1,033 to $13,900 in the first six months of 2015 from $12,867 in the first six months of 2014, as a result of the LR2 delivery discussed above.

 

In July 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a 1998-built Handysize Product Carrier, at a price in excess of carrying value. The vessel was delivered to buyers in July 2015.

During the second quarter of 2015, TCE revenues for the U.S. segment increased by $11,303, or 11%, to $115,906 from $104,603 in the second quarter of 2014. This increase reflects the continued strength of the Jones Act market, which allowed the Company’s Jones Act Handysize Product Carriers and ATB’s to achieve higher rates on new time charters upon the expiry of prior time charters.

 

During the first six months of 2015, TCE revenues for the U.S. segment increased by $22,083, or 11%, to $227,118 from $205,035 in the first six months of 2014. The increase was attributable to the strong rate environment in the U.S. Flag market noted above.

Two reflagged U.S. Flag Product Carriers participate in the U.S. Maritime Security Program, which ensures that military useful U.S. Flag vessels are available to the U.S. Department of Defense in the event of war or national emergency. Each of the vessel owning companies receives an annual subsidy that is intended to offset the increased cost incurred by such vessels from operating under the U.S. Flag. The Company is scheduled to receive $3.1 million per year for each vessel from 2015 through 2018, $3.5 million from 2019 through 2021, and $3.7 million from 2022 through 2025.

 

In June 2015, one of the Company’s chartered-in Jones Act Product Carriers that had been converted to a shuttle carrier commenced a ten-year time charter out.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

During the second quarter of 2015, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2,014 to $17,471 from $19,485 in the second quarter of 2014 principally due to the following:

 

·a decrease of $4,425 in employee compensation and benefits relating to (i) the outsourcing of the technical management and certain aspects of commercial management and crew management of the International Flag fleet, and (ii) costs recognized in 2014 related to retention bonus programs put into place as a result of the Company’s bankruptcy filing. This net decrease in employee compensation and benefits also reflects current period costs totaling $640 relating to a new retention bonus plan approved by the Board of Directors in December 2014 and $650 related to stock compensation expenses related to Board approved stock option and restricted shares awards. Awards under the retention bonus plan will be paid in a lump sum following completion the of the retention period in December 2016; and

 

·a decrease in rent and facility related expenses and travel and entertainment expenses of $471.

 

These decreases were partially offset by higher accounting and audit related fees of $676 and higher legal and consulting fees of $2,133 incurred in the current year period.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, general administrative expenses decreased by $7,157 to $36,753 from $43,910 for the same period in 2014 principally due to the following:

 

·a net decrease of $10,916 in employee compensation and benefits relating to (i) the outsourcing of the technical management and certain aspects of commercial management and crew management of the International Flag fleet, and (ii) costs recognized in 2014 related to retention bonus programs put into place as a result of the Company’s bankruptcy filing. This net decrease in employee compensation and benefits also reflects current period costs totaling $1,279 relating to the new retention bonus plan noted above and $524 of current period compensation expense related to restricted share awards granted to members of the Board of Directors during the second quarter of 2015; and

 

·a decrease in rent and facility related expenses and travel and entertainment expenses of $1,254.

 

These decreases were partially offset by higher accounting and audit related fees of $1,325 and legal and consulting fees of $3,866 incurred in the period subsequent to the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy.

Also as discussed above and in Note 12, “Capital Stock and Stock Compensation,” during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company made awards of restricted stock units and stock options under the 2014 Management Plan, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders in June 2015. Compensation expense related to these grants expected to be recognized for the remainder of 2015 will be approximately $1,808.

 

Equity in Income of Affiliated Companies:

 

During the second quarter of 2015, equity in income of affiliated companies increased by $2,193 to $11,830 from $9,637 in the second quarter of 2014. The quarter-over-quarter increase was principally attributable to increased revenues generated by the FSO joint venture, reflecting in part, scheduled increases in charter out rates combined with lower vessel operating expenses and interest expense at both joint ventures. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in vessel operating expenses and interest expense was driven by (i) the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. Dollar on Euro-denominated crew costs, (ii) the timing of expenditures on spares, stores and repairs, and (iii) lower outstanding principal balances.

 

During the first six months of 2015, equity in income of affiliated companies increased by $6,111 to $24,242 from $18,131 in the six months ended June 30, 2014. In addition to the increases referred to in the preceding paragraph there was an increase in revenue earned by the LNG joint venture as a result of a 40 day reduction in offhire days during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the corresponding period in 2014, which reflected repairs to one of the joint venture’s vessels that was involved in a collision in late December 2013. Also contributing to the improvement in the LNG joint venture results was a $2,200 reimbursement received from the joint venture’s charterer for increased costs incurred by the joint venture related to maintaining an inventory of ship spare parts.

 

Additionally, the Company has a 37.5% interest in ATC, a company that operates U.S. Flag tankers to transport Alaskan crude oil for BP. ATC earns additional income (in the form of incentive hire paid by BP) based on meeting certain predetermined performance standards. Such income is included in the U.S. Flag segment.

The following tables summarize OSG’s proportionate share of the revenue days for the respective vessels held in its vessel owning equity method investments, excluding ATC. Revenue days are adjusted for OSG’s percentage ownership in order to state the revenue days on a basis comparable to that of a wholly-owned vessel. The ownership percentages reflected below are the Company’s actual ownership percentages as of June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Interest Expense:

 

Interest expense was $28,931 and $57,500 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared with $174,511 and $174,634 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2014. Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 reflects interest expense of $8,897 and $17,727, respectively, associated with the Company’s reinstated Unsecured Senior Notes and $19,929 and $39,632, respectively, relating to the Exit Financing Facilities. As of June 30, 2014, management deemed it probable that allowed claims relating to its loan agreements and certain rejected executory contracts would provide for contractual post-petition interest from the Petition Date through the effective date of the Amended Equity Plan. Therefore interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, reflects contractual post-petition interest for the period from the Petition Date through June 30, 2014 relating to such loan agreements and rejected executory contracts.

 

Income Taxes:

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $3,529 and a benefit of $50,414, respectively, which represents an effective tax rate of 6% and 20%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $6,189 and a benefit of $49,085 respectively, which represents an effective tax rate of 6% and 21%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the 2015 periods was substantially due to a change in the mix of U.S. versus foreign income, offset in part by a decrease in nondeductible reorganization costs. The foreign income is primarily attributable to operations of companies domiciled in the Marshall Islands, which are not subject to income tax.

The Company’s application for a Pre-Filing Agreement with the IRS with respect to OSG’s payments as guarantor made during 2014 has been accepted and the examination of the Company’s position by the IRS is ongoing. The Company anticipates the resolution of this matter by September 30, 2015 and, as such, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits associated with the position may change significantly. If the IRS accepts the Company’s position, we would record deferred tax assets related to the tax effect of an increase in net operating loss carryforwards of up to $438,363 and a decrease in its tax basis in foreign subsidiaries of up to $477,835, both depending on the final determination by the IRS of the allowed amount of payments as guarantor. In addition, OSG anticipates filing a refund claim for the carryback of 2014 net operating losses, which may result in an IRS examination of the 2012 and 2013 tax years.

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

 

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented to provide investors with meaningful additional information that management uses to monitor ongoing operating results and evaluate trends over comparative periods. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are:

 

×EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
×EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
×EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt.

 

While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as a measure of operating results and performance, neither of them is necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

 

   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended

Liquidity and Sources of Capital:

 

Working capital at June 30, 2015 was approximately $692,000 compared with $528,000 at December 31, 2014. Current assets are highly liquid, consisting principally of cash, interest-bearing deposits and receivables. The positive working capital position at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 reflects the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy with sufficient cash to settle allowed claims and fund ongoing working capital needs. The Company’s total cash (including restricted cash) increased by approximately

$156,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

We generate significant cash flows through our complementary mix of time charters and international spot rate exposure. Our contracted revenues, coupled with the spot rate exposure of our International Flag fleet, provide us with a significant opportunity to further strengthen our balance sheet. Net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $139,621, which is not necessarily indicative of the cash to be provided by operating activities for the year ending December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, we had total debt outstanding (net of original issue discount) of $1,662,658 and a total debt to total capitalization of 54%. Our debt profile reflects minimal scheduled amortization requirements before 2018. As of June 30, 2015, we had total liquidity on a consolidated basis of $793,510, comprised of $668,510 of cash (including $22,245 of restricted cash) and $125,000 of undrawn revolver capacity. Approximately 26% of cash on hand at June 30, 2015, including restricted cash, is held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

 

Management has designated cash reserves of $22,245 as of June 30, 2015 to be utilized within the next twelve months for the settlement of certain unsecured claims, including disputed unsecured claims, and other bankruptcy related costs related to the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy. Such restricted cash reserves will be subject to adjustment based upon the settlement of claims and other bankruptcy related costs and changes in management’s estimates of future funding requirements. As a result of management’s periodic review of its estimates of future funding requirements, approximately $13,800 of previously restricted cash was released into unrestricted operating funds during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

 

In addition to operating cash flows discussed above, our other current sources of funds are proceeds from issuances of equity securities, additional borrowings as permitted under the Exit Financing Facilities 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 or our subsidiaries may in the future complete transactions consistent with achieving the objectives of our business plan. Our current uses of funds are to fund working capital requirements, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with U.S. and international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, and repay our outstanding loan facilities. The OBS Term Loan and OIN Facilities require that a portion of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the respective term loan agreements) be used to prepay the outstanding principal balance of each such loan, commencing, in the case of the OBS Term Loan, with the annual period beginning January 1, 2015 and, in the case of the OIN Facilities, with the six-month period beginning July 1, 2015, and annual periods thereafter. To the extent permitted under the terms of the OBS Term Loan and OIN Facilities we may also use cash generated by operations to finance capital expenditures to modernize and grow our fleet. Historically, we had also used funds to pay dividends and to repurchase our common stock from time to time. We have not declared any dividends since the third quarter of 2011. The ability of OBS and OIN to pay cash dividends to the Parent Company is restricted under both the OBS Term Loan and OIN Facilities. Future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future operations and earnings, capital requirements, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

The amendment to the OIN Facilities, entered into on June 3, 2015, among other things, provided for the following, subject to certain conditions described therein: (i) it permitted OIN to pay a cash dividend of up to $200,000 to OSG no later than June 30, 2015; (ii) it permitted OIN to retain net cash proceeds up to $78,000 from the sales of certain assets that occurred prior to June 3, 2015; and (iii) it altered the periods during which Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the loan agreement for the OIN Facilities) must be used to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the OIN Facilities, from an annual period beginning January 1, 2015 to a six-month period beginning July 1, 2015 and annual periods thereafter.

 

Outlook

 

We believe the actions we have taken to improve our liquidity position including (i) deleveraging our balance sheet by using cash on hand and proceeds from drawdowns on our Exit Financing Facilities and issuance of equity under the Rights Offering and Equity Commitment Agreement to settle our allowed pre-petition debt and other claim liabilities, (ii) exiting the full service International Crude Tankers Lightering business, (iii) selling certain of our older vessels (specifically two International Flag Aframaxes, which had been employed in Lightering operations, two VLCCs and one Panamax, all of which operated in our International Crude Tankers segment), (iv) completing our newbuild program with the delivery of the Overseas Shenandoah in July 2014, and (v) reducing our overhead costs through the outsourcing of the technical and commercial management of our International Flag conventional fleet, have positioned us to generate sufficient cash to support our operations over the next twelve months as well as increasing our flexibility to actively pursue fleet renewal or growth opportunities that may arise within the diverse sectors in which we operate.

 

On June 26, 2015, we filed Amendment No. 1 to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an offering of our Class A common stock. The timing, number of shares and price of any such offering have not yet been determined.

 

At our annual meeting of stockholders held on June 9, 2015, our stockholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated certification of incorporation to reflect a reverse split of Class A common stock and Class B common stock at one of three ratios, 1-for-4, 1-for-5 or 1-for-6, and a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares. Our stockholders further authorized the Board of Directors to determine both the timing of and the ratio at which the reverse split would be effected and to file an appropriate amendment to our amended and restated certification of incorporation.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

OSG guarantees debt and other obligations of certain of its equity method investees. The debt and other obligations are primarily due to banks in connection with financing the purchase and conversion of vessels and equipment used in the joint venture operations. As of June 30, 2015, the affiliated companies in which OSG held an equity interest had total bank debt outstanding of $816,204 of which $696,858 was nonrecourse to the Company.

 

As of June 30, 2015, the maximum potential amount of future principal payments (undiscounted) that OSG could be required to make relating to equity method investees secured bank debt was $65,070 and the carrying amount of the liability related to this guarantee was $0. See Note 8, “Equity Method Investments,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

A summary of the Company’s long-term contractual obligations, excluding operating lease obligations for office space, as of June 30, 2015 follows:

 

   Balance of                   Beyond     
   2015   2016   2017   2018   2019   2019   Total 
Long-term debt(1)                                   
Unsecured senior notes - fixed rate  $17,663   $35,325   $35,325   $323,138   $10,950   $162,501   $584,902 
OBS term loan - floating rate   19,038    82,191    34,804    34,483    550,924    -    721,440 
OIN term loan - floating rate   21,429    42,384    41,919    41,553    626,224    -    773,509 
Operating lease obligations(2)                                   
Bareboat Charter-ins   49,872    99,038    98,219    93,200    111,819    50,300    502,448 
Time Charter-ins   12,364    1,004    -    -    -    -    13,368 
                                    
Total  $120,366   $259,942   $210,267   $492,374   $1,299,917   $212,801   $2,595,667 

 

(1)Amounts shown include contractual interest obligations. Interest obligations on fixed rate debt of $445,900 as of June 30, 2015 range from 7.5% to 8.125%. The interest rate obligations of floating rate debt have been estimated based on the aggregate LIBOR floor rate of 1% and applicable margins for the OBS Term Loan and the OIN Term Loan of 4.25% and 4.75%, respectively. Amount shown for the OBS Term Loan for 2016 includes an estimated mandatory prepayment of $46,000 as a result of estimated Excess Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2015. Management estimates that no prepayment will be required for the OIN Term Loan as a result of estimated Excess Cash Flows for the six month period ended December 31, 2015. Amounts shown for the OBS Term Loan and OIN Term Loan for years subsequent to 2016 exclude any estimated repayment as a result of Excess Cash Flows

 

(2)As of June 30, 2015, the Company had charter-in commitments for 17 vessels on leases that are accounted for as operating leases. Certain of these leases provide the Company with various renewal and purchase options. The future minimum commitments for time charters-in have been reduced to reflect estimated days that the vessels will not be available for employment due to drydock.

 

Risk Management:

 

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which could impact its results of operations and financial condition. The Company manages this exposure to market risk through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. To manage its interest rate risk in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time-to-time, enters into interest rate swap or cap agreements, in which it agrees to exchange various combinations of fixed and variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts or to receive payments if floating interest rates rise above a specified cap rate. The Company uses such derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage exposure to nonperformance on such instruments by the counterparties.

 

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, OBS and OIN were party to two separate Interest Rate Cap agreements each with a start date of February 5, 2015 with major financial institutions covering notional amounts of $375,000 and $400,000, respectively, to limit the floating interest rate exposure associated with their respective term loans. These agreements contain no leverage features. The OBS Interest Rate Cap has a cap rate of 2.5% through February 5, 2017, at which time the cap rate increases to 3.0% through the termination date of February 5, 2018.  The OIN Interest Rate Cap has a cap rate of 2.5% through the termination date of February 5, 2017.

See Note 17, “Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the current legal proceedings, which is incorporated by reference in this Part II, Item 1.

 

Item 1A.      Risk Factors

 

Please refer to the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-203844), filed on June 26, 2015, for a discussion related to its industry and operations. The risk factor below updates the risk factors previously disclosed in those documents.  

 

An easing or lifting of the U.S. crude oil export ban could adversely impact the Company’s U.S. Flag Fleet.

 

Over the last four decades, the ability of U.S. producers to export domestic crude oil has been limited by the U.S. government. As crude oil production, especially light sweet crude, has increased in the United States due to hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, there have been more calls by crude oil producers for the U.S. government to change its energy policy to ease or lift the crude oil export ban. In 2015, several bills have been introduced in the U.S. Congress that would ease or lift the ban and Congressional hearings have been held on the matter, although none of that proposed legislation has yet been brought to a vote and the prospects for passage of any such legislation are uncertain. Although the impact on the Company’s U.S. Flag fleet’s operations is not determinable, the easing of the crude oil export ban could result in reduced coastwise transportation of crude oil, which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s U.S. Flag segment.
