Diluted Weighted Number of Shares

Conversion is not assumed if the results of this calculation are anti-dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company's basic weighted average number of shares was 309,575,449 and 308,914,701, respectively.  The weighted average number of shares, both diluted and under the if-converted method, were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as the Company incurred net losses.

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

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

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss of $68.9 million compared to a net loss of $68.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The following were the significant changes between the two periods:

• TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management. The following table depicts TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

			For the three months ended June 30,
In thousands of U.S. dollars			2018				2017
	Vessel revenue		$	141,795			$	118,418
	Voyage expenses		(1,033		)		(912		)
	TCE revenue		$	140,762			$	117,506

• TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $23.3 million to $140.8 million, from $117.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was driven by the growth of the Company's fleet to an average of 127.0 operating vessels during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from an average of 98.3 operating vessels during the three months ended June 30, 2017.  This growth was the result of the merger with NPTI, which resulted in the delivery of four vessels in June 2017 and 23 vessels in September 2017.  In addition, the Company took delivery of eight vessels under its newbuilding program throughout 2017 and two vessels under its newbuilding program during the first quarter of 2018. The increase in TCE revenue resulting from the increase in the size of the Company's fleet was offset by a reduction in TCE revenue per day, which decreased to $12,301 per day during the three months ended June 30, 2018, from $13,227 per day during the three months ended June 30, 2017.  The spot market for product tankers continues to face adverse market conditions as a result of an unfavorable global supply and demand imbalance resulting primarily from weaker global refining margins and the continued absorption of an influx of prior year newbuilding deliveries. In particular the LR2 segment further deteriorated during the second quarter of 2018 primarily as a result of a reduction in light distillates heading from Europe to the Far East.
• Vessel operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $19.6 million to $69.5 million, from $49.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  This increase was the result of an increase in the average number of owned and bareboat chartered-in vessels for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 119.0 vessels from 87.9 vessels for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This growth was the result of (i) the merger with NPTI, which resulted in the delivery of four vessels in June 2017 and 23 vessels in September 2017, and (ii) the delivery of eight vessels under the Company's newbuilding program throughout 2017 and two vessels under the Company's newbuilding program during the first quarter of 2018.  These additions were offset by the sales of two MR tankers in June and July 2017.
• Charterhire expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $2.3 million to $17.2 million, from $19.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  This decrease was the result of the change in the composition of the Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet during those periods.  The Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet consisted of an average 8.0 time chartered-in vessels and 10.0 bareboat chartered-in vessels for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and the Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet consisted of an average of 10.4 time chartered-in vessels and 9.3 bareboat chartered-in vessels for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  The average daily base rates on the Company's time chartered-in fleet during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and three months ended June 30, 2017 were $14,231 per vessel per day and $14,110 per vessel per day, respectively.  The average daily base rates for the Company's bareboat chartered-in fleet during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and three months ended June 30, 2017 were $7,672 per vessel per day and $7,175 per vessel per day, respectively.
• Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $13.1 million to $44.1 million, from $31.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  This increase was primarily driven by (i) the delivery of two LR2 and six MR vessels under the Company's newbuilding program during 2017, (ii) the delivery of the four LR1 vessels acquired from NPTI in June 2017, (iii) the delivery of eight LR1 and 15 LR2 vessels acquired from NPTI in September 2017, and (iv) the delivery of two MR vessels under the Company's newbuilding program in January 2018.  These deliveries were offset by the sales of five MR vessels throughout 2017, of which three were leased back under bareboat charter-in operating lease arrangements.
• Financial expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased $23.9 million to $48.9 million, from $25.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in financial expenses was primarily a result of (i) increased interest expense incurred as a result of the assumption of $924.8 million of indebtedness as part of the Company's merger with NPTI ($118.3 million in June 2017 and $806.4 million in September 2017), (ii) increases in LIBOR rates when compared to the second quarter of 2017, and (iii) the write-off of $7.0 million of deferred financing fees during the second quarter of 2018 as a result of the May 2018 Convertible Notes Exchange, the refinancing of the existing indebtedness on five vessels into the ABN/SEB Credit Facility and the acceleration of a portion of the deferred financing fees related to the credit facilities that are expected to be refinanced in the third quarter of 2018.

Weighted average shares under the if-converted method (which includes the potential dilutive effect of both the unvested shares of restricted stock and the Convertible Notes) were 362,955,633 and 354,768,910 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

(1)	See Non-IFRS Measures section below.
(2)	Freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry in terms of time charter equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges, from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time charter equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the period. Revenue days are the number of days the vessel is owned or chartered-in less the number of days the vessel is off-hire for drydock and repairs.
(3)	Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs divided by the number of operating days during the period. Operating days are the total number of available days in a period with respect to the owned or bareboat chartered-in vessels, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only applicable to our owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in vessels, not our time chartered-in vessels.

Non-IFRS Measures

Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS Financial Information

This press release describes time charter equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS (i.e. "Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance. These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company believes that the presentation of time charter equivalent revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors or other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, because they facilitate the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the Company believes that time charter equivalent revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s definitions of time charter equivalent revenue, adjusted net income or loss with the adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," "expect," "pending" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. We undertake no obligation, and specifically decline any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of our operations, risks relating to the integration of the operations of Navig8 Product Tankers Inc. (“NPTI”) and the possibility that the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the acquisition of NPTI will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected timeframe, the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the merger with NPTI and the related transactions, the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for our vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires, and other factors. Please see Scorpio Tankers’ filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks and uncertainties.
