(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. |

In October 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its
2019 built scrubber fitted LR2 product tanker, STI Lily for $73.5
million. The sale is expected to close within the fourth quarter of
2024. This vessel was collateralized under the 2023 $1.0 Billion
Credit Facility and the Company recently repaid $22.9 million of
debt on this facility in anticipation of the closing of the sale.
This debt repayment did not impact the undrawn amount of $288.2
million that is currently available under the revolving portion of
this facility.
-
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into
agreements to sell two 2014 built scrubber fitted MR product
tankers, STI San Antonio and STI Texas City, for $42.5 million per
vessel. These sales are expected to close within the fourth quarter
of 2024. There will be no debt repayments as a result of these
sales as (i) STI San Antonio was recently replaced by STI Memphis
as collateral on the 2023 $225.0 million Credit Facility and (ii)
STI Texas City was released from the collateral package on the 2023
$117.4 Million Credit Facility given the sufficient headroom under
the leverage covenant with the six remaining collateralized vessels
under the facility.
-
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company invested $89.1
million for a passive, minority interest in DHT Holdings Inc.
(“DHT”), a publicly traded crude tanker shipping company which owns
a fleet of 28 Very Large Crude Carriers. The Company purchased
7,982,480 common shares in DHT, or 4.9% of the outstanding shares,
in the open market at an average price of $11.17 per share during
this period. This investment reflects the Company's constructive
outlook in this sector.
-
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a
three-year time charter-out agreement for the 2018 built MR product
tanker, STI Jardins, for $29,550 per day. This vessel is not
scrubber-fitted and the time charter commenced in October
2024.
-
On July 29, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors replenished and
increased the 2023 Securities Repurchase Program to purchase up to
an aggregate of $400 million of the Company’s securities which, in
addition to its common shares also consist of its Unsecured Senior
Notes Due 2025 (NYSE: SBBA).
-
In July 2024, the Company executed an agreement with the lenders on
its 2023 $225.0 Million Credit Facility to convert the then $174.2
million outstanding balance on this facility from a term loan to a
revolving credit facility. While the repayment schedule remains
unchanged, this amendment gives the Company the flexibility to make
unscheduled repayments that can be re-drawn in the future subject
to a quarterly amortization profile.
-
In September 2024, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of
$64.2 million on its BNPP Sinosure Credit Facility. The facility
was collateralized by five vessels and bore interest at SOFR plus a
blended margin (between the Commercial and Sinosure facilities) of
2.91% per annum.
-
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company closed on the sales
of six MR product tankers. The 2012 built vessels, STI Garnet, STI
Onyx, STI Ruby, and STI Topaz, were sold for $142.5 million in
aggregate to three separate buyers. The 2013 built vessel, STI
Beryl (which is not scrubber fitted), was sold for $36.6 million
and the 2015 built MR product tanker, STI Manhattan, was sold for
$40.8 million. The Company did not make any debt repayments as a
result of these sales as STI Garnet, STI Onyx, STI Ruby, STI Topaz,
and STI Beryl were unencumbered at the time of the sales and STI
Manhattan was replaced by STI Notting Hill as collateral for the
2023 $1.0 Billion Credit Facility.
Securities Repurchase
Program
From July 1, 2024 through October 28, 2024,
the Company repurchased 3,362,410 of its common shares in the open
market at an average price of $73.34 per share under the 2023
Securities Repurchase Program. Since April 1, 2024, the Company has
repurchased an aggregate of 4,049,064 of its common shares in the
open market at an average price of $74.17 per share.
There is $208.9 million available under the 2023
Securities Repurchase Program as of October 28, 2024.
Diluted Weighted Number of
Shares
The computation of earnings per share is
determined by taking into consideration the potentially dilutive
shares arising from the Company’s equity incentive plan. These
potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of
earnings per share to the extent they are anti-dilutive.
For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2024, the Company’s basic weighted average number of shares
outstanding were 47,941,734 and 49,285,618, respectively. For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s
diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding were
50,150,721 and 51,644,038, respectively, which included the
potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the
Company’s equity incentive plan.

$174.2 million outstanding on this facility and under the
amendment, the outstanding and/or availability of the revolving
credit facility will continue to amortize quarterly under the same
schedule as the original term loan. |

Explanation of Variances on the Third
Quarter of 2024 Financial Results Compared to the Third Quarter of
2023
For the three months ended September 30, 2024,
the Company recorded net income of $158.7 million compared to net
income of $100.4 million for the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2024, and 2023:

-
TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased
by $31.0 million to $258.2 million, from $289.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2023. Overall, the average daily
TCE revenue increased to $28,488 per vessel during the three months
ended September 30, 2024, from $28,313 per vessel during the three
months ended September 30, 2023. The average number of vessels was
104.8 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared
to 112.1 during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
- TCE revenue for the three months
ended September 30, 2024 declined as compared to the same period in
the previous year. This was mainly attributable to a decrease in
the average number of vessels in the Company's fleet during each
period. Additionally, a combination of seasonality, reduced product
exports in certain regions, and competition from crude tankers
added pressure to daily spot TCE rates during the third quarter of
2024. During the first half of 2024, daily spot TCE rates for the
Company’s LR2 vessels benefited from strong global distillate
demand and increasing ton miles as vessels re-routed around the
Cape of Good Hope due to conditions in the Red Sea. The resultant
spike in daily spot TCE rates on this route, coupled with weak
demand for crude oil tankers, drew the attention of larger crude
tanker owners (VLCCs and Suezmaxes) who underwent the costly
process to clean the cargo tanks of their vessels and temporarily
enter the clean trade. While LR2 daily TCE rates have improved as
compared to the third quarter of 2023, the entry of crude vessels
into the LR2 trade captured longer ton-mile clean tanker demand
that would have otherwise gone to LR2s, consequently suppressing
daily spot TCE rates for the Company’s LR2 vessels as compared to
the second quarter of 2024. Additionally, seasonality and reduced
refinery throughput attributable to lower refining margins led to
decreased volumes from Asia and Europe, which had a negative impact
on daily spot TCE rates earned by the Company's MR and Handymax
vessels.
-
TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was
impacted by extended refinery maintenance, lower refining margins,
and a reduction in arbitrage opportunities, which all led to
reduced refinery throughput and decreased volumes from major export
regions. These conditions improved in the latter part of the
quarter and daily TCE rates strengthened as a result. On a
seasonally adjusted basis, demand for the Company's vessels during
the third quarter of 2023 was supported by growing underlying
consumption for refined petroleum products against the backdrop of
low inventory levels and a modest newbuilding orderbook.
- Vessel operating costs for the
three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $1.8 million to
$80.9 million, from $79.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2023. Overall, the average daily vessel operating
costs increased to $8,395 per vessel for the three months ended
September 30, 2024 from $7,669 per vessel for the three months
ended September 30, 2023. The increase was seen across all vessel
classes, with the LR2 segment having the largest increase, which
was driven by higher repairs and maintenance and spare parts 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 September 30, 2024 decreased by $1.5 million to
$45.5 million, from $47.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2023. Depreciation - right of use assets also
decreased by $4.1 million over the same period. This combined
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average
number of owned vessels, which was 104.8 during the three months
ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 112.1 during the three
months ended September 30, 2023.
-
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2024 increased by $5.3 million to $30.0 million, from
$24.6 million for the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2024
decreased by $28.8 million to $20.9 million, from $49.7 million for
the three months ended September 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
deleveraging efforts over the past twelve months. The Company's
average indebtedness decreased to $1.0 billion during the three
months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $2.0 billion during
the three months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally:
-
The Company recorded nominal debt extinguishment related costs
during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to
$6.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
-
The amortization of deferred financing fees was $2.0 million during
the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $1.9
million during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
-
Dividend income and fair value loss on financial assets measured at
fair value through profit or loss, net includes $2.0 million of
dividends received and an unrealized loss of $1.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the investment in
DHT. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company invested $89.1
million for a passive, minority interest in DHT, a publicly traded
crude tanker shipping company which owns a fleet of 28 Very Large
Crude Carriers. The Company purchased 7,982,480 common shares in
DHT, or 4.9% of the outstanding shares, in the open market at an
average price of $11.17 per share during this period.

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

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 Third Quarter of 2024 Financial Results Compared to the
Third 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.
