(NYSE: OSG) (the “Company” or “OSG”), a leading provider of liquid bulk transportation services in the energy industry for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023. 2023 net income was $62.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to net income of $26.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in 2022. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $20.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. Full year Adjusted EBITDA(A), a non-GAAP measure, for 2023 was $175.7 million, an increase of $32.9 million, or 23.1%, from 2022. Fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA was $47.3 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 8.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. Shipping revenues for 2023 were $451.9 million, a decrease of $14.9 million, or 3.2%, compared to 2022. Shipping revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $116.0 million, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 4.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decreases in shipping revenues primarily resulted from fewer vessels in our fleet, as we redelivered three conventional tankers leased from American Shipping Company in December 2022. Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(B), a non-GAAP measure, for 2023 were $423.5 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 0.7%, from $426.3 million in 2022. TCE revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $110.1 million, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 3.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Total cash and investments(c) were $91.2 million as of December 31, 2023. In October 2023, the Company prepaid, at a discount, $5.6 million to subsidiaries of American Shipping Corporation representing all of its remaining outstanding deferred payment obligations, recognizing a gain of $912 thousand. In November 2023, the Company purchased the Alaskan Frontier for $20.0 million. The Company plans to make significant investments in the vessel for it to begin commercial trade by the fourth quarter of 2024. On December 6, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share on the Company's Class A common stock, which was paid on January 4, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 1,425,000 shares for total consideration of $6.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 70,946,476 common shares outstanding compared to 78,297,439 at the end of 2022, a 9.4% reduction, as a result of 2023 repurchases of the Company's common stock. Sam Norton, OSG's President and CEO, said, “Following the positive results reported, it would be appropriate to state that we have ‘stuck the landing’ with our 4th quarter performance. The quarter’s contribution led to meeting our adjusted EBITDA target of $175mm for the full year, a 23.1% gain over 2022, despite having three fewer vessels in operation in 2023. The benefits of charterparties fixed at escalating rates over the past several quarters are now being realized, producing strong cashflow and providing the means to make continued progress in meeting our key capital allocation goals. Previously announced capital investments in our Alaska class vessels, the purchase of 1.425 million shares during the 4th quarter, and the approval of the first dividend payment in many years underscore this point.” Mr. Norton continued, “Strong fundamentals have continued to support charterer interest in our vessels. Significantly, at year end, we agreed to employ the Alaskan Explorer to transport US Gulf Coast crude oil to one of our Delaware Bay refining customers, demonstrating the existence of employment options for this class of vessel outside of its traditional Alaskan market. Taken together with three other vessel fixtures concluded in early 2024, OSG has added 116 months of forward charter cover since our last earnings report, increasing the value of our forward charter book to over $860 million in time charter equivalent earnings as of the beginning of March 2024.” Mr. Norton concluded by stating, “We couldn’t be more pleased with our 2023 results and believe we are well-positioned now, and over the long term, to generate strong cash flows in what we expect to be a durably balanced market characterized by stable demand and constrained supply.” The Company also recently exercised its first option to extend the bareboat charter of the Overseas Tampa with its vessel owner for a 5-year option period, commencing June 2025 until June 2030. Additional options to extend remain. A, B, C Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release starting on Page 8. Full Year 2023 Results Shipping revenues were $451.9 million for 2023, down 3.2% compared with 2022. TCE revenues for 2023 were $423.5 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 0.7%, compared with 2022. The decreases primarily resulted from (a) fewer vessels in our fleet, as we redelivered three conventional tankers leased from American Shipping Company in December 2022, (b) a 24-day increase in drydock days, and (c) fewer U.S. Military Sealift Command voyages, which were longer international voyages, during 2023 compared to 2022. The decreases were partially offset by a 297-day decrease in layup days. We had no vessels in layup during 2023. During the first quarter of 2022, we had two vessels in layup for the full quarter and two additional vessels that came out of layup in January 2022 and late February 2022. Our remaining two vessels in layup returned to service in May 2022. Additionally, the decreases were partially offset by (a) an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet, (b) an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes, and (c) an 11-day decrease in repair days. Operating income for 2023 was $96.9 million, compared to operating income of $63.2 million for 2022. Net income for 2023 was $62.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared with net income of $26.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for 2022. The increases in operating and net income primarily reflected decreases in voyage, vessel, and charter hire expenses of $46.4 million when compared to 2022. The decrease in voyage expenses was primarily due to decreases in fuel and port expenses, as our vessels performed fewer voyage charters during 2023 compared to 2022. The decreases in vessel and charter hire expenses were primarily due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers referred to above. Adjusted EBITDA was $175.7 million for 2023, an increase of $32.9 million compared with 2022. Fourth Quarter 2023 Results Shipping revenues were $116.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 4.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were $110.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 3.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. The decreases primarily resulted from fewer vessels in our fleet, due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers discussed above and a 29-day increase in drydock days. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet and an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $25.9 million compared to operating income of $20.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $20.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with net income of $10.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increases in operating and net income primarily reflected decreases in voyage, vessel, and charter hire expenses of $9.9 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in voyage expenses was primarily due to decreases in fuel and port expenses, as our vessels performed fewer voyage charters during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decreases in vessel and charter hire expenses were primarily due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers referred to above. Adjusted EBITDA was $47.3 million for the 2023 fourth quarter, an increase of $3.6 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, driven primarily by the increases in operating and net income.

OSG has realigned some of its vessels in the analytical tables to reflect their current employment. The tables affected in the press release are the TCE Spot and Fixed Rate table and the Vessel Operating Contribution table. Prior year information has been revised to conform with the current presentation. Fleet Information As of December 31, 2023, OSG’s operating fleet consisted of 21 vessels, 13 of which were owned, with the remaining vessels chartered-in. Vessels chartered-in are on Bareboat Charters.

(2) Includes two crude oil tankers doing business in Alaska, one crude oil tanker, Alaskan Frontier, purchased in November 2023 from BP Oil Shipping Company, USA and has been in cold layup in Malaysia since 2019, and one crude oil tanker in service on the East Coast Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Information The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the following non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that will better enable them to evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide supplemental information, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. (A) Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) Revenues Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses TCE 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. TCE 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. Reconciliation of TCE revenues of the segments to shipping revenues as reported in the consolidated statements of operations follows: Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Time charter equivalent revenues $ 110,088 $ 114,098 $ 423,527 $ 426,328 Add: Voyage expenses 5,932 7,659 28,344 40,472 Shipping revenues $ 116,020 $ 121,757 $ 451,871 $ 466,800 Vessel Operating Contribution Vessel operating contribution, a non-GAAP measure, is TCE revenues minus vessel expenses and charter hire expenses. The Company changed the presentation of the table below in 2023 to reflect the current business operations of the Company's vessels. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been updated to conform to current period presentation. Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, ($ in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Specialized businesses $ 28,151 $ 31,725 $ 116,463 $ 121,112 Jones Act MR tankers 13,668 7,793 46,536 17,957 Jones Act ATBs 8,378 6,535 29,311 21,744 Vessel operating contribution 50,197 46,053 192,310 160,813 Depreciation and amortization 17,664 19,579 67,164 70,637 General and administrative 6,612 6,056 28,223 26,985 Operating income from vessel operations $ 25,921 $ 20,418 $ 96,923 $ 63,191 (B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted to exclude amortization classified in charter hire expenses, interest expense classified in charter hire expenses, loss/(gain) on disposal of vessels and other property, including impairments, net, non-cash stock based compensation expense and the impact of other items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the 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 measures used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Overseas Shipholding Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results By: Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. via Business Wire March 11, 2024 at 07:35 AM EDT Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE: OSG) (the “Company” or “OSG”), a leading provider of liquid bulk transportation services in the energy industry for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023. 2023 net income was $62.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to net income of $26.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in 2022. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $20.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. Full year Adjusted EBITDA(A), a non-GAAP measure, for 2023 was $175.7 million, an increase of $32.9 million, or 23.1%, from 2022. Fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA was $47.3 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 8.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. Shipping revenues for 2023 were $451.9 million, a decrease of $14.9 million, or 3.2%, compared to 2022. Shipping revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $116.0 million, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 4.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decreases in shipping revenues primarily resulted from fewer vessels in our fleet, as we redelivered three conventional tankers leased from American Shipping Company in December 2022. Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(B), a non-GAAP measure, for 2023 were $423.5 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 0.7%, from $426.3 million in 2022. TCE revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $110.1 million, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 3.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Total cash and investments(c) were $91.2 million as of December 31, 2023. In October 2023, the Company prepaid, at a discount, $5.6 million to subsidiaries of American Shipping Corporation representing all of its remaining outstanding deferred payment obligations, recognizing a gain of $912 thousand. In November 2023, the Company purchased the Alaskan Frontier for $20.0 million. The Company plans to make significant investments in the vessel for it to begin commercial trade by the fourth quarter of 2024. On December 6, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share on the Company's Class A common stock, which was paid on January 4, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 1,425,000 shares for total consideration of $6.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 70,946,476 common shares outstanding compared to 78,297,439 at the end of 2022, a 9.4% reduction, as a result of 2023 repurchases of the Company's common stock. Sam Norton, OSG's President and CEO, said, “Following the positive results reported, it would be appropriate to state that we have ‘stuck the landing’ with our 4th quarter performance. The quarter’s contribution led to meeting our adjusted EBITDA target of $175mm for the full year, a 23.1% gain over 2022, despite having three fewer vessels in operation in 2023. The benefits of charterparties fixed at escalating rates over the past several quarters are now being realized, producing strong cashflow and providing the means to make continued progress in meeting our key capital allocation goals. Previously announced capital investments in our Alaska class vessels, the purchase of 1.425 million shares during the 4th quarter, and the approval of the first dividend payment in many years underscore this point.” Mr. Norton continued, “Strong fundamentals have continued to support charterer interest in our vessels. Significantly, at year end, we agreed to employ the Alaskan Explorer to transport US Gulf Coast crude oil to one of our Delaware Bay refining customers, demonstrating the existence of employment options for this class of vessel outside of its traditional Alaskan market. Taken together with three other vessel fixtures concluded in early 2024, OSG has added 116 months of forward charter cover since our last earnings report, increasing the value of our forward charter book to over $860 million in time charter equivalent earnings as of the beginning of March 2024.” Mr. Norton concluded by stating, “We couldn’t be more pleased with our 2023 results and believe we are well-positioned now, and over the long term, to generate strong cash flows in what we expect to be a durably balanced market characterized by stable demand and constrained supply.” The Company also recently exercised its first option to extend the bareboat charter of the Overseas Tampa with its vessel owner for a 5-year option period, commencing June 2025 until June 2030. Additional options to extend remain. A, B, C Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release starting on Page 8. Full Year 2023 Results Shipping revenues were $451.9 million for 2023, down 3.2% compared with 2022. TCE revenues for 2023 were $423.5 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 0.7%, compared with 2022. The decreases primarily resulted from (a) fewer vessels in our fleet, as we redelivered three conventional tankers leased from American Shipping Company in December 2022, (b) a 24-day increase in drydock days, and (c) fewer U.S. Military Sealift Command voyages, which were longer international voyages, during 2023 compared to 2022. The decreases were partially offset by a 297-day decrease in layup days. We had no vessels in layup during 2023. During the first quarter of 2022, we had two vessels in layup for the full quarter and two additional vessels that came out of layup in January 2022 and late February 2022. Our remaining two vessels in layup returned to service in May 2022. Additionally, the decreases were partially offset by (a) an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet, (b) an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes, and (c) an 11-day decrease in repair days. Operating income for 2023 was $96.9 million, compared to operating income of $63.2 million for 2022. Net income for 2023 was $62.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared with net income of $26.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for 2022. The increases in operating and net income primarily reflected decreases in voyage, vessel, and charter hire expenses of $46.4 million when compared to 2022. The decrease in voyage expenses was primarily due to decreases in fuel and port expenses, as our vessels performed fewer voyage charters during 2023 compared to 2022. The decreases in vessel and charter hire expenses were primarily due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers referred to above. Adjusted EBITDA was $175.7 million for 2023, an increase of $32.9 million compared with 2022. Fourth Quarter 2023 Results Shipping revenues were $116.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 4.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were $110.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 3.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. The decreases primarily resulted from fewer vessels in our fleet, due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers discussed above and a 29-day increase in drydock days. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet and an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $25.9 million compared to operating income of $20.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $20.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with net income of $10.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increases in operating and net income primarily reflected decreases in voyage, vessel, and charter hire expenses of $9.9 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in voyage expenses was primarily due to decreases in fuel and port expenses, as our vessels performed fewer voyage charters during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decreases in vessel and charter hire expenses were primarily due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers referred to above. Adjusted EBITDA was $47.3 million for the 2023 fourth quarter, an increase of $3.6 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, driven primarily by the increases in operating and net income.

OSG has realigned some of its vessels in the analytical tables to reflect their current employment. The tables affected in the press release are the TCE Spot and Fixed Rate table and the Vessel Operating Contribution table. Prior year information has been revised to conform with the current presentation. Fleet Information As of December 31, 2023, OSG’s operating fleet consisted of 21 vessels, 13 of which were owned, with the remaining vessels chartered-in. Vessels chartered-in are on Bareboat Charters.

(2) Includes two crude oil tankers doing business in Alaska, one crude oil tanker, Alaskan Frontier, purchased in November 2023 from BP Oil Shipping Company, USA and has been in cold layup in Malaysia since 2019, and one crude oil tanker in service on the East Coast Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Information The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the following non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that will better enable them to evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide supplemental information, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. (A) Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) Revenues Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses TCE 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. TCE 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. Reconciliation of TCE revenues of the segments to shipping revenues as reported in the consolidated statements of operations follows: Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Time charter equivalent revenues $ 110,088 $ 114,098 $ 423,527 $ 426,328 Add: Voyage expenses 5,932 7,659 28,344 40,472 Shipping revenues $ 116,020 $ 121,757 $ 451,871 $ 466,800 Vessel Operating Contribution Vessel operating contribution, a non-GAAP measure, is TCE revenues minus vessel expenses and charter hire expenses. The Company changed the presentation of the table below in 2023 to reflect the current business operations of the Company's vessels. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been updated to conform to current period presentation. Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, ($ in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Specialized businesses $ 28,151 $ 31,725 $ 116,463 $ 121,112 Jones Act MR tankers 13,668 7,793 46,536 17,957 Jones Act ATBs 8,378 6,535 29,311 21,744 Vessel operating contribution 50,197 46,053 192,310 160,813 Depreciation and amortization 17,664 19,579 67,164 70,637 General and administrative 6,612 6,056 28,223 26,985 Operating income from vessel operations $ 25,921 $ 20,418 $ 96,923 $ 63,191 (B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted to exclude amortization classified in charter hire expenses, interest expense classified in charter hire expenses, loss/(gain) on disposal of vessels and other property, including impairments, net, non-cash stock based compensation expense and the impact of other items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the 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 measures used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

(NYSE: OSG) (the “Company” or “OSG”), a leading provider of liquid bulk transportation services in the energy industry for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023. 2023 net income was $62.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to net income of $26.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in 2022. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $20.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. Full year Adjusted EBITDA(A), a non-GAAP measure, for 2023 was $175.7 million, an increase of $32.9 million, or 23.1%, from 2022. Fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA was $47.3 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 8.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. Shipping revenues for 2023 were $451.9 million, a decrease of $14.9 million, or 3.2%, compared to 2022. Shipping revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $116.0 million, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 4.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decreases in shipping revenues primarily resulted from fewer vessels in our fleet, as we redelivered three conventional tankers leased from American Shipping Company in December 2022. Time charter equivalent (TCE) revenues(B), a non-GAAP measure, for 2023 were $423.5 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 0.7%, from $426.3 million in 2022. TCE revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $110.1 million, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 3.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Total cash and investments(c) were $91.2 million as of December 31, 2023. In October 2023, the Company prepaid, at a discount, $5.6 million to subsidiaries of American Shipping Corporation representing all of its remaining outstanding deferred payment obligations, recognizing a gain of $912 thousand. In November 2023, the Company purchased the Alaskan Frontier for $20.0 million. The Company plans to make significant investments in the vessel for it to begin commercial trade by the fourth quarter of 2024. On December 6, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share on the Company's Class A common stock, which was paid on January 4, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 1,425,000 shares for total consideration of $6.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 70,946,476 common shares outstanding compared to 78,297,439 at the end of 2022, a 9.4% reduction, as a result of 2023 repurchases of the Company's common stock. Sam Norton, OSG's President and CEO, said, “Following the positive results reported, it would be appropriate to state that we have ‘stuck the landing’ with our 4th quarter performance. The quarter’s contribution led to meeting our adjusted EBITDA target of $175mm for the full year, a 23.1% gain over 2022, despite having three fewer vessels in operation in 2023. The benefits of charterparties fixed at escalating rates over the past several quarters are now being realized, producing strong cashflow and providing the means to make continued progress in meeting our key capital allocation goals. Previously announced capital investments in our Alaska class vessels, the purchase of 1.425 million shares during the 4th quarter, and the approval of the first dividend payment in many years underscore this point.” Mr. Norton continued, “Strong fundamentals have continued to support charterer interest in our vessels. Significantly, at year end, we agreed to employ the Alaskan Explorer to transport US Gulf Coast crude oil to one of our Delaware Bay refining customers, demonstrating the existence of employment options for this class of vessel outside of its traditional Alaskan market. Taken together with three other vessel fixtures concluded in early 2024, OSG has added 116 months of forward charter cover since our last earnings report, increasing the value of our forward charter book to over $860 million in time charter equivalent earnings as of the beginning of March 2024.” Mr. Norton concluded by stating, “We couldn’t be more pleased with our 2023 results and believe we are well-positioned now, and over the long term, to generate strong cash flows in what we expect to be a durably balanced market characterized by stable demand and constrained supply.” The Company also recently exercised its first option to extend the bareboat charter of the Overseas Tampa with its vessel owner for a 5-year option period, commencing June 2025 until June 2030. Additional options to extend remain. A, B, C Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release starting on Page 8. Full Year 2023 Results Shipping revenues were $451.9 million for 2023, down 3.2% compared with 2022. TCE revenues for 2023 were $423.5 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 0.7%, compared with 2022. The decreases primarily resulted from (a) fewer vessels in our fleet, as we redelivered three conventional tankers leased from American Shipping Company in December 2022, (b) a 24-day increase in drydock days, and (c) fewer U.S. Military Sealift Command voyages, which were longer international voyages, during 2023 compared to 2022. The decreases were partially offset by a 297-day decrease in layup days. We had no vessels in layup during 2023. During the first quarter of 2022, we had two vessels in layup for the full quarter and two additional vessels that came out of layup in January 2022 and late February 2022. Our remaining two vessels in layup returned to service in May 2022. Additionally, the decreases were partially offset by (a) an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet, (b) an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes, and (c) an 11-day decrease in repair days. Operating income for 2023 was $96.9 million, compared to operating income of $63.2 million for 2022. Net income for 2023 was $62.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared with net income of $26.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for 2022. The increases in operating and net income primarily reflected decreases in voyage, vessel, and charter hire expenses of $46.4 million when compared to 2022. The decrease in voyage expenses was primarily due to decreases in fuel and port expenses, as our vessels performed fewer voyage charters during 2023 compared to 2022. The decreases in vessel and charter hire expenses were primarily due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers referred to above. Adjusted EBITDA was $175.7 million for 2023, an increase of $32.9 million compared with 2022. Fourth Quarter 2023 Results Shipping revenues were $116.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 4.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. TCE revenues were $110.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 3.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. The decreases primarily resulted from fewer vessels in our fleet, due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers discussed above and a 29-day increase in drydock days. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet and an increase in Delaware Bay lightering volumes. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $25.9 million compared to operating income of $20.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $20.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with net income of $10.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increases in operating and net income primarily reflected decreases in voyage, vessel, and charter hire expenses of $9.9 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in voyage expenses was primarily due to decreases in fuel and port expenses, as our vessels performed fewer voyage charters during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decreases in vessel and charter hire expenses were primarily due to the redelivery of three conventional tankers referred to above. Adjusted EBITDA was $47.3 million for the 2023 fourth quarter, an increase of $3.6 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, driven primarily by the increases in operating and net income.

OSG has realigned some of its vessels in the analytical tables to reflect their current employment. The tables affected in the press release are the TCE Spot and Fixed Rate table and the Vessel Operating Contribution table. Prior year information has been revised to conform with the current presentation. Fleet Information As of December 31, 2023, OSG’s operating fleet consisted of 21 vessels, 13 of which were owned, with the remaining vessels chartered-in. Vessels chartered-in are on Bareboat Charters. Vessels Owned Vessels Chartered-In Total at December 31, 2023 Vessel Type Number Number Total Vessels Total dwt (3) MR Product Carriers (1) 5 8 13 619,854 Crude Oil Tankers (2) 4 — 4 772,194 Refined Product ATBs 2 — 2 54,182 Lightering ATBs 2 — 2 91,112 Total Operating Fleet 13 8 21 1,537,342 (1) Includes two owned shuttle tankers, eight chartered-in tankers, and three non-Jones Act MR tankers that participate in the Tanker Security Program or are on time charter to the U.S. Military Sealift Command. (2) Includes two crude oil tankers doing business in Alaska, one crude oil tanker, Alaskan Frontier, purchased in November 2023 from BP Oil Shipping Company, USA and has been in cold layup in Malaysia since 2019, and one crude oil tanker in service on the East Coast Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Information The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the following non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that will better enable them to evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide supplemental information, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. (A) Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) Revenues Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses TCE 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. TCE 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. Reconciliation of TCE revenues of the segments to shipping revenues as reported in the consolidated statements of operations follows: Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Time charter equivalent revenues $ 110,088 $ 114,098 $ 423,527 $ 426,328 Add: Voyage expenses 5,932 7,659 28,344 40,472 Shipping revenues $ 116,020 $ 121,757 $ 451,871 $ 466,800 Vessel Operating Contribution Vessel operating contribution, a non-GAAP measure, is TCE revenues minus vessel expenses and charter hire expenses. The Company changed the presentation of the table below in 2023 to reflect the current business operations of the Company's vessels. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been updated to conform to current period presentation. Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, ($ in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Specialized businesses $ 28,151 $ 31,725 $ 116,463 $ 121,112 Jones Act MR tankers 13,668 7,793 46,536 17,957 Jones Act ATBs 8,378 6,535 29,311 21,744 Vessel operating contribution 50,197 46,053 192,310 160,813 Depreciation and amortization 17,664 19,579 67,164 70,637 General and administrative 6,612 6,056 28,223 26,985 Operating income from vessel operations $ 25,921 $ 20,418 $ 96,923 $ 63,191 (B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted to exclude amortization classified in charter hire expenses, interest expense classified in charter hire expenses, loss/(gain) on disposal of vessels and other property, including impairments, net, non-cash stock based compensation expense and the impact of other items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the 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 measures used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
