generation potential continue to improve. In the second quarter, we
repaid $399 million of debt and reduced our daily cash break evens

million Credit Facility to a revolving credit facility and
committed to prepaying our $64 million credit facility with BNP
Paribas and Sinosure. These initiatives could potentially reduce
our daily cash break-even rates by over $1,000."

(1) Expected Revenue Days are the
total number of calendar days in the quarter for each vessel, less
the total number of expected off-hire days during the period
associated with major repairs or drydockings. Consequently,
Expected Revenue Days represent the total number of days the vessel
is expected to be available to earn revenue. Idle days, which are
days when a vessel is available to earn revenue, yet is not
employed, are included in revenue days. The Company uses revenue
days to show changes in net vessel revenues between periods.

Explanation of Variances on the Second
Quarter of 2024 Financial Results Compared to the Second Quarter of
2023
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the
Company recorded net income of $227.3 million compared to net
income of $132.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
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 voyages, time charters, and
pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and
management. The following table sets forth TCE revenue for the
three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023:

TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by
$45.9 million to $373.5 million, from $327.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2023. Overall, the average daily TCE revenue
increased to $38,813 per vessel during the three months ended June
30, 2024, from $32,154 per vessel during the three months ended
June 30, 2023. The average number of vessels was 108.7 during the
three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 113.0 during the
three months ended June 30, 2023.
-
TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 remained
robust as the cyclical strength in the product tanker market,
combined with the ton mile expansion triggered by recent
geopolitical events, resulted in an increase in daily spot TCE
rates across all of the Company’s vessel classes. Daily spot TCE
rates for the Company's LR2 vessels benefited from strong global
distillate demand and increasing ton miles as vessels continue to
be re-routed around the Cape of Good Hope due to conditions in the
Red Sea. Daily spot TCE rates on the Company’s Handymax and MR
vessel classes saw a modest spill-over effect from the conditions
in the Red Sea, with their performance primarily driven by
seasonally high refinery utilization and export volumes, reflecting
a year-over-year increase in the demand for refined petroleum
products.
-
TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was robust
despite a decline in daily TCE rates when compared to the same
period in the prior year. The second quarter of 2022 reflected
several key events and market conditions, which provided multiple
catalysts simultaneously and resulted in a counter-seasonal spike
in daily TCE rates. The second quarter of 2023 (particularly the
latter half) reflected a more normalized seasonal pattern whereby
extended refinery maintenance, lower refining margins and a
reduction in arbitrage opportunities all led to reduced refinery
throughput and decreased volumes from major export regions.
Nevertheless, on a seasonally adjusted basis, demand for the
Company’s vessels remained resilient, driven by low inventory
levels, a modest newbuilding orderbook, and growing underlying
consumption for refined petroleum products.
- Vessel operating costs for the
three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $0.4 million to
$79.3 million, from $78.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 2023. Overall, the average daily vessel operating costs
increased to $8,017 per vessel for the three months ended June 30,
2024 from $7,669 per vessel for the three months ended June 30,
2023. The increase is concentrated within the LR2 segment which has
been driven by higher repairs and maintenance costs, coupled with
disruptions in trading patterns that have impacted the costs of
sourcing and transporting spare parts.
-
Depreciation expense – owned or sale leaseback vessels for the
three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $4.5 million to
$46.7 million, from $42.2 million for the three months ended June
30, 2023. This increase was attributable to the exercise of
purchase options on 21 lease financed vessels, which were
previously accounted for under IFRS 16 – Leases throughout 2023 as
reflected by the $8.5 million decrease in Depreciation expense -
right of use assets for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The
carrying values of these repurchased vessels were reclassified to
Vessels and drydock from Right of use assets for vessels on the
Company's balance sheet and depreciation expense is recorded as a
part of owned vessels as of the dates of each purchase. The
combined decrease in depreciation expense of $4.0 million was due
to the ten vessels that were either classified as held for sale or
sold since June 30, 2023.
-
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2024, increased by $9.9 million to $37.1 million, from $27.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to an increase
in non-cash restricted stock amortization resulting primarily from
grants made in the second quarter of 2024. The stock
price on the dates of the grants is used as the fair value for the
accounting of the awards under IFRS. The awards granted to
employees vest ratably in years three, four and five following the
initial grant.
-
Financial expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024
decreased by $10.4 million to $33.3 million, from $43.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily
attributable to the overall reduction in interest expense on debt
and sale leaseback arrangements due to the Company's focus on
deleveraging. The Company's average indebtedness decreased to $1.3
billion during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to
$2.0 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Additionally:
-
The Company recorded $4.4 million of debt extinguishment related
costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to
$0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023; and
-
The amortization of deferred financing fees and accretion increased
to $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as
compared to $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30,
2023, primarily due to the entrance into new credit facilities
during 2023.

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 vessels are part of the
fleet less the number of days vessels are 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 vessels that are owned, operating under a lease
financing arrangement, or bareboat chartered-in, before deducting
available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating
days is a measurement that is only applicable to vessels that are
owned, operating under a lease financing arrangement, or bareboat
chartered-in, not time chartered-in vessels. |

Dividend Policy
The declaration and payment of dividends is
subject at all times to the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors. The timing and the amount of dividends, if any, depends

agreements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the
payment of dividends and other factors.
The Company's dividends paid during 2023 and 2024
were as follows:

Conflict in Ukraine and Middle
East
The ongoing military conflict in Ukraine has had
a significant direct and indirect impact on the trade of refined
petroleum products. This conflict has resulted in the United
States, United Kingdom, and the European Union, among other
countries, implementing sanctions and executive orders against
citizens, entities, and activities connected to Russia. Some of
these sanctions and executive orders target the Russian oil sector,
including a prohibition on the import of oil and refined petroleum
products from Russia to the United States, United Kingdom or the
European Union, and a prohibition on a variety of specified
services related to the maritime transport of Russian Federation
origin crude oil and petroleum products, including
trading/commodities brokering, financing, shipping, insurance
(including reinsurance and protection and indemnity), flagging, and
customs brokering, which took effect in December 2022 and February
2023 respectively. An exception exists to permit such services when
the price of the seaborne Russian oil does not exceed the relevant
price cap; but implementation of this price exception relies on a
recordkeeping and attestation process that requires each party in
the supply chain of seaborne Russian oil to demonstrate or confirm
that oil has been purchased at or below the price cap. The Company
cannot foresee what other sanctions or executive orders may arise
that affect the trade of petroleum products. Furthermore, the
conflict and ensuing international response has disrupted the
supply of Russian oil to the global market, and as a result, the
price of oil and petroleum products has experienced significant
volatility. The Company cannot predict what effect the higher price
of oil and petroleum products will have on demand, and while thus
far the impact has been favorable, it is possible that the current
conflict in Ukraine could adversely affect the Company's financial
condition, results of operations, and future performance.
Additionally, since December 2023, there have
been multiple drone and missile attacks on commercial vessels
transiting international waters in the southern Red Sea by groups
believed to be affiliated with the Yemen-based Houthi rebel group
purportedly in response to the ongoing military conflict between
Israel and Hamas. Recent attacks on U.S. military installations in
Jordan and other locations in the middle east, the continuing
military actions by the U.S. government and certain of its allies
against the Houthi rebel group, which the U.S. government believes
to be supported by the government of Iran, and the ongoing military
conflict between Israel and Hamas continue to threaten the
political stability of the region and may lead to further military
conflicts, including continued hostile actions towards commercial
shipping in the region. We cannot predict the severity or length of
the current conditions impacting international shipping in this
region and the continuing disruption of the trade routes in the
region of the Red Sea. While thus far the impact of these events
has been favorable to the demand for our vessels, it is also
possible that it could have a material and adverse impact on our
results of operations in the future.

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 ("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
TCE 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 TCE 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 TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss
with 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.
TCE revenue, on a historical basis, is
reconciled above in the section entitled "Explanation of Variances
on the Second Quarter of 2024 Financial Results Compared to the
Second Quarter of 2023". The Company has not provided a
reconciliation of forward-looking TCE revenue because the most
directly comparable IFRS measure on a forward-looking basis is not
available to the Company without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may
constitute forward‐looking statements. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for
forward‐looking statements in order to encourage companies to
provide prospective information about their business.
Forward‐looking statements include statements concerning plans,
objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and
underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than
statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take
advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary
statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The
words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend,"
"plan," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "will," "would,"
"could" and similar expressions identify forward‐looking
statements.
The forward‐looking statements in this press
release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are
based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without
limitation, management’s examination of historical operating
trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data
available from third parties. Although management believes that
these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these
assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are
beyond the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that the
Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or
projections. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically
declines any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly
update or revise any forward‐looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to these important factors, other
important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward‐looking statements include unforeseen liabilities, future
capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies,
economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses,
future prospects, business and management strategies in response to
epidemics and other public health concerns including any effect on
demand for petroleum products and the transportation thereof,
expansion and growth of the Company’s operations, risks relating to
the integration of assets or operations of entities that it has or
may in the future acquire and the possibility that the anticipated
synergies and other benefits of such acquisitions may not be
realized within expected timeframes or at all, the failure of
counterparties to fully perform their contracts with the Company,
the strength of world economies and currencies, general market
conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel
values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in
the Company’s operating expenses, including bunker prices,
drydocking and insurance costs, the market for the Company’s
vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter
counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply
with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in
governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory
authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation,
general domestic and international political conditions, including
the impact of the conflict in Ukraine and the developments in the
Middle East, including the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas,
potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or
political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off‐hires,
and other factors. Please see the Company's filings with the SEC
for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks
and uncertainties.
