Teekay Tankers Ltd. Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual Results

TNK

HAMILTON, BERMUDA--(Marketwired - Feb. 20, 2014) -

Highlights

  • Declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
  • Reported fourth quarter 2013 adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers(1) of $2.4 million, or $0.03 per share (excluding specific items which increased GAAP net income by $16.5 million, or $0.20 per share, including a $14.9 million reversal of a loss provision previously recorded on the Company's investment in term loans).
  • Based on approximately 65 percent of days booked in the quarter, average spot time-charter equivalent, or TCE, rate to date for the first quarter of 2014 of approximately $34,300 and $25,300 per day for Teekay Tankers' spot Suezmax and Aframax vessels, respectively, compared to $15,200 and $13,900 per day for the fourth quarter of 2013.
  • In January 2014, Teekay Tankers and Teekay Corporation jointly created a new tanker company, Tanker Investments Limited, and each invested $25 million for a combined 20 percent ownership interest; and agreed in principle for Teekay Tankers to acquire Teekay Corporation's conventional tanker commercial and technical management operations.
  • In December 2013, the detained VLCC tanker that secures one of Teekay Tankers' term loan investments was released from Egypt and is currently trading in the spot tanker market.

Teekay Tankers Ltd. (Teekay Tankers or the Company) (NYSE:TNK) today reported an adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers(1) (as detailed in Appendix A to this release) of $2.4 million, or $0.03 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, compared to adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $7.8 million, or $0.09 per share, for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers is primarily due to stronger Suezmax and Aframax spot rates in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of the prior year and a decrease in depreciation expense as a result of vessel impairments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012, partially offset by the change in employment of certain of the Company's vessels from fixed rates to lower spot rates upon expiry of their fixed-rate charters, lower average realized spot tanker rates for the Company's LR2 fleet and a reduction in interest income from the Company's investment in term loans. Adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of increasing net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers by $16.5 million, or $0.20 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and increasing the net loss by $348.8 million, or $4.18 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2012, as detailed in Appendix A to this release. Including these items, the Company reported, on a GAAP basis, net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $14.1 million, or $0.17 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $356.6 million, or a loss of $4.27 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Net revenues(2) were $39.7 million and $44.5 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company reported an adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $16.3 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to adjusted net loss attributed to the shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $11.4 million, or $0.14 per share, for the prior year. The increase in adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers is primarily due to a decrease in the Company's net voyage revenues due to the change in employment of certain of the Company's vessels from fixed rates to lower spot rates on expiry of their fixed-rate charters, lower average realized spot tanker rates for the year ended 2013 compared to the prior year and a reduction in interest income from the Company's investment in term loans. This was partially offset by the decrease in depreciation expense as a result of vessel impairments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. Adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of decreasing net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers by $8.2 million, or $0.10 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2013 and increasing net loss by $349.6 million, or $4.40 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2012, as detailed in Appendix A to this release. Including these items, the Company reported, on a GAAP basis, a net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $8.1 million, or $0.10 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $361.0 million, or $4.54 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net revenues(2) were $161.8 million and $192.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Company's financial statements for prior periods include the historical results of the 13 vessels acquired by the Company from Teekay Corporation in June 2012, referred to herein as the Dropdown Predecessor, for the periods when these vessels were owned and operated by Teekay Corporation, which includes the period from January to June 2012.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company generated $10.4 million, or $0.12 per share, of Cash Available for Distribution(3), compared to $8.7 million, or $0.10 per share, in the third quarter of 2013. On January 3, 2014, Teekay Tankers declared its fixed dividend of $0.03 per share for the fourth quarter of 2013, which was paid on January 31, 2014 to all shareholders of record on January 17, 2014. Since the Company's initial public offering in December 2007, it has declared dividends in 25 consecutive quarters, which now total $7.305 per share on a cumulative basis.

"Crude tanker rates in December 2013 and January 2014 reached their highest levels since the third quarter of 2008, mainly as a result of higher crude oil imports into China, an increase in long-haul crude oil movements from the Atlantic basin to Asia and seasonal factors, most of which will be reflected in the financial results for the first quarter of 2014," commented Bruce Chan, Teekay Tankers' Chief Executive Officer. "Based on approximately 65 percent of spot revenues days booked to date in the first quarter of 2014, the Company has earned an average time-charter equivalent, or TCE, rate of approximately $34,300 and $25,300 per day for its spot Suezmax and Aframax vessels, respectively, compared to $15,200 and $13,900 per day for the fourth quarter of 2013. "While rates have softened somewhat in recent weeks, we believe stronger oil demand, limited tanker fleet growth and improving global economic conditions will continue to support a general firming of average spot tanker rates starting in 2014."

Mr. Chan added, "Teekay Tankers' co-investment in Tanker Investments Limited, or TIL, provides an additional way for Teekay Tankers' shareholders to benefit from a potential tanker market recovery while complementing our existing strategy of directly owning and in-chartering conventional tankers. Teekay Tankers can now either invest in secondhand tankers or newbuildings directly or seek to invest further in TIL. In addition, Teekay Tankers' planned acquisition of Teekay Corporation's conventional tanker commercial and technical management operations represents the final step in Teekay Tankers' evolution into a full-service conventional tanker platform, which we believe will allow us to better serve our customers and generate greater value for our shareholders."

Please refer to Appendix A to this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure as used in this release to the most directly comparable financial measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and for information about specific items affecting net loss that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Company's financial results.
(2) Net revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of shipping companies. Please refer to Appendix C included in this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP.
(3) Cash Available for Distribution represents net income (loss), plus depreciation and amortization, unrealized losses from derivatives, non-cash items and any write-offs or other non-recurring items, less unrealized gains from derivatives and net income attributable to the historical results of vessels acquired by the Company from Teekay Corporation, for the period when these vessels were owned and operated by Teekay Corporation. Please refer to Appendix B to this release for a reconciliation of Cash Available for Distribution (a non-GAAP measure) as used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Summary of Recent Events

First Priority VLCC Mortgage Loans

Due to an increase in tanker vessel values, in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recognized $2.0 million of interest income and recorded a $14.9 million reversal of the loss provision on its investment in term loans secured by two 2010-built Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) vessels. As a result of this reversal, as of December 31, 2013 there is no remaining loan loss provision associated with the term loans secured by these vessels. The Company expects to recover the carrying value of the term loans, including the original loan principal balance, from a combination of the future operating cash flows of the two VLCC vessels and the net proceeds from their eventual sale. The actual amount recoverable from the Company's investment in the term loans may vary from the Company's current estimates depending on various factors, including the vessels' actual future operating cash flows and actual net proceeds realized from the eventual sale of the vessels.

In December 2013, the previously detained VLCC was released by the Egyptian authorities. Currently, both VLCC vessels securing the investment in term loans are trading in the spot tanker market under Teekay Tankers' management. The Company continues to work closely with the borrowers and the second priority mortgagees of the vessels to realize on its security for the loans.

Investment in Tanker Investments Ltd.

In January 2014, Teekay Tankers and Teekay Corporation (Teekay) jointly created Tanker Investments Limited (TIL), which will seek to opportunistically acquire, operate, and sell modern secondhand tankers to benefit from an expected recovery in the current cyclical low of the tanker market. TIL completed a $250 million equity private placement in which Teekay Tankers and Teekay co-invested $25 million each for a combined 20 percent ownership in the new company. The balance of the privately placed TIL shares, which are listed on the Norwegian over-the-counter market under the symbol "TIL", were purchased by a group of institutional investors.

A portion of the net proceeds from the equity private placement will be used to acquire four 2009 and 2010-built Aframax crude oil tankers for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $116 million, which are expected to be acquired between March and June 2014, and four 2009-built Suezmax crude oil tankers for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $163 million, which TIL will pay for by the assuming an equal amount of indebtedness already secured by those vessels. The four Suezmax vessels are expected to be acquired from Teekay in late-February 2014. The remaining proceeds will be used to acquire additional tankers and for general corporate purposes. TIL expects to list its shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange in March 2014. 

The Teekay and Teekay Tankers' Boards of Directors have also agreed in principle to the sale of Teekay's conventional tanker commercial and technical management operations (Teekay Operations) to Teekay Tankers, including direct ownership in three commercially managed tanker pools, which currently generate income from commercially managing a fleet of 82 vessels and technically managing a fleet of 49 vessels. The TIL fleet also will be managed by Teekay Operations and, upon completion of the sale of Teekay Operations, the corresponding fees associated with the management of TIL's vessels will be earned by Teekay Tankers.

Fixed-Rate Time-Charter Coverage

During December 2013, Teekay Tankers commenced new time-charter out contracts for two Aframax tankers. The Erik Spirit has been time-chartered out for a period of 12 months at a rate of $14,100 per day and the Esther Spirit has been time-chartered out for a period of 24 months at a time-charter rate of $16,500 per day.

Teekay Tankers recently extended its time-charter in contract with BM Breeze for a period of 12 months at a rate of $12,000 per day, with options to extend up to an additional 24 months at escalating rates. 

Tanker Market

Global oil demand is expected to average 92.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) in 2014, representing an increase of 4.1 mb/d, or 4.6 percent, compared to 2010 oil demand of 88.4 mb/d. In recent years, oil demand growth has been more than offset by high levels of fleet growth with the global tanker fleet growing by a net 70.8 million deadweight tonnes (mdwt), or 16.3 percent, from the start of 2010 until January 2014. Moderate oil demand growth, combined with high tanker fleet growth resulted in a significant decline in crude tanker spot rates and second-hand tanker values during the period from 2010 to the fourth quarter of 2013.

In December 2013 and January 2014, crude tanker spot rates increased significantly, reaching their highest levels since the third quarter of 2008, although rates for 2013 as a whole were comparatively low on a historical basis. This recent increase was primarily due to strong Chinese crude oil imports, an increase in long-haul movements from the Atlantic basin to Asia, and seasonal factors. 

There are currently 61.6 mdwt of tankers on order, or approximately 12.3 percent of the existing fleet. The tanker orderbook has been shrinking since it peaked at 190 mdwt, or approximately 49 percent of the fleet, in September 2008. As a result of the smaller orderbook, the global tanker fleet is expected to grow by only 1.2 percent in 2014 and 1.3 percent in 2015, net of removals, which is the smallest fleet growth rate since 2001. The pace of new tanker ordering increased in 2013, with a total of 33.6 mdwt ordered, compared to just 13.9 mdwt ordered during 2012. From 2000 to 2012, annual orders averaged 35.8 mdwt. However, the majority of orders placed in 2013 were for Medium-Range (MR) and Long Range 2 (LR2) product tankers.

In its January 2014 "World Economic Outlook", the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised its global GDP growth forecast for 2014 to 3.7 percent, an increase of 0.1 percent over its previous forecast for 2014. Global oil demand is projected to grow by 1.2 million mb/d in 2014 based on the average of the forecasts of the International Energy Agency, the Energy Information Administration, and OPEC, an increase from the 1.0 mb/d of oil demand growth in 2013. The forecasted increase in demand is based on the cautiously positive sentiment for global economic growth, which continues to be driven by China, although at a slower pace than previous years. The call on OPEC is expected to decline by around 0.6 mb/d in 2014, as non-OPEC supply, mostly driven by the United States, continues to grow.

A combination of improving global economic conditions and expected stronger oil demand growth coupled with limited tanker fleet growth for 2014 and 2015, is expected to drive an increase in tanker fleet utilization and therefore improved spot tanker rates over the next two years.

(1) The amount recoverable from the Company's investment in term loans is dependent on various factors, including the amount realizable from the sale of two VLCCs held as collateral for the loans. The amounts the Company ultimately may record in its annual 2013 filing with the SEC on the Form 20-F as interest income and loss provision on its investment in term loans for 2013 may vary from the amounts shown above if there are significant changes in the Company's current estimates of the value of its collateral that may be realized.
(2) In order to more closely align the Company's presentation to many of its peers, the cost of ship management activities of $1.4 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively, and $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been presented in vessel operating expenses. Prior to 2013, the Company included these amounts in general and administrative expenses. All such costs incurred in comparative periods have been reclassified from general and administrative expenses to vessel operating expenses to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period. The amounts reclassified were $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
(3) A reversal of a loss provision on the Company's investment in term loans of $14.9 million was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Loss provisions on investment in term loans of $10.4 million and $4.5 million had previously been recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. As a result of the reversal, there was no remaining loan loss provision recorded as of December 31, 2013.
(4) Includes realized losses relating to interest rate swaps of $2.5 million, $2.5 million, and $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and $9.9 million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
(5) Income (loss) per share attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers is determined by dividing (a) net income (loss) of the Company after adjusting for the amount of net loss attributable to the Dropdown Predecessor by (b) the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period.
