HAMILTON, BERMUDA--(Marketwired - May 19, 2016) -
Highlights
- Reported first quarter 2016 adjusted net income attributable to shareholders(1) of $46.0 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to $39.0 million, or $0.34 per share, in the same period of the prior year.
- Generated first quarter 2016 free cash flow(2) of $66.2 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to $53.0 million, or $0.46 per share, in the same period of the prior year.
- Declared cash dividend of $0.09 per share for the first quarter of 2016 based on approximately 30 percent of adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2016.

Teekay Tankers Ltd. (Teekay Tankers or the Company) (NYSE:TNK) today reported adjusted net income attributable to shareholders(1) of $46.0 million, or $0.29 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to $39.0 million, or $0.34 per share, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in adjusted net income is primarily due to an increase in fleet size as a result of the acquisition of 19 modern, mid-size tankers during 2015 and the expansion of the Company's chartered-in tanker portfolio during 2015 and 2016, partially offset by lower spot tanker rates in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders excludes a number of specific items that had the net effect of decreasing net income attributable to shareholders by $7.0 million, or $0.04 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as detailed in Appendix A to this release. Including these items, the Company reported, on a GAAP basis, net income attributable to shareholders of $39.0 million, or $0.25 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to $39.0 million, or $0.34 per share, for the same period of the prior year. Net revenues(4) were $152.1 million and $103.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company generated $66.2 million, or $0.42 per share, of free cash flow(2), compared to $53.0 million, or $0.46 per share, in the first quarter of 2015.
On May 18, 2016, Teekay Tankers declared a dividend of $0.09 per share for the first quarter of 2016, which is to be paid on June 3, 2016 to all shareholders of record on May 30, 2016. Since the Company's inception, it has declared dividends in 34 consecutive quarters.

CEO Commentary
"Many of the positive tanker fundamentals in 2015 have continued into 2016, supporting crude tanker demand, including growing oil demand, high crude oil supply from OPEC, ongoing strategic and commercial stockpiling of oil, and port and ullage delays," commented Kevin Mackay, Teekay Tankers' Chief Executive Officer. "However, spot tanker rates softened during the quarter mainly due to a heavy refinery maintenance schedule, a milder winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and higher bunker fuel costs."
Mr. Mackay continued, "While Teekay Tankers generated strong free cash flow of $66.2 million, or $0.42 per share, during the first quarter, our results were negatively impacted by higher than expected off-hire days due to unscheduled repairs in both our owned and in-chartered fleet and various seasonal factors. In the second quarter, we expect our owned fleet to return to near full utilization levels."
Mr. Mackay added, "Yesterday, we declared a dividend of $0.09 per share for the first quarter based on a payout of approximately 30 percent of adjusted net income, which provides shareholders with an attractive dividend yield, while also allowing us to continue de-levering our balance sheet. Looking ahead, based on continued positive tanker fundamentals, we expect to continue generating strong free cash flow from what is anticipated to be a healthy spot tanker market in the remainder of 2016."
Tanker Market
The crude tanker market remains well-supported by strong oil supply and demand fundamentals. However, a number of seasonal and one-off factors led to a quarter-on-quarter decline in tanker rates during the first quarter of 2016. These factors included a period of heavy refinery maintenance to make up for maintenance that had been deferred in 2015 due to strong refining margins, mild winter weather in the Northern hemisphere, and rising bunker costs as a result of higher oil prices.
Oil market fundamentals continue to support crude tanker demand. OPEC oil production remains near record highs and the breakdown of recent talks in Doha between several OPEC and non-OPEC producers will likely result in oil supply remaining at elevated levels in the near-term. Production outside of OPEC continues to decline, with U.S. crude oil production recently falling below 9 million barrels per day (mb/d) for the first time since October 2014. This slowdown has led to a renewed increase in U.S. crude oil imports, while the recent repeal of the crude oil export ban has resulted in the first few export cargoes leaving the United States. Global oil demand is forecast to grow by 1.2 mb/d in 2016 (based on the average of IEA, EIA, and OPEC forecasts), while relatively low oil prices continue to encourage strategic and commercial stockpiling of oil. Lastly, there continues to be significant port and ullage delays in certain regions, particularly in China, which helps to tighten regional tonnage balances.
We expect global tanker fleet growth to accelerate in 2016, with projected growth of 4.4 percent and 4.1 percent in the Suezmax and Aframax / Long Range 2 (LR2) fleets, respectively (up from 1.6 percent and 3.2 percent growth in 2015). However, Suezmax fleet growth is more heavily weighted towards the second half of 2016 and thus the full impact will likely be felt more in 2017. A lack of access to capital has resulted in virtually no new tanker orders in 2016, with only 1.1 million deadweight of orders placed in the first quarter of 2016, which was the lowest quarter for new tanker orders since the fourth quarter of 2009. If this continues, we expect very low global fleet growth after the current order-book delivers over the course of 2016 and 2017.
Overall, the Company expects that 2016 will be a relatively strong year for crude tanker rates driven by the positive fundamentals of high oil supply, strong oil demand, relatively low oil prices, new trade routes, and moderate fleet growth.

| (1) | The Company acquired two vessels on December 18, 2015 from Teekay Offshore, which is controlled by Teekay Corporation. Results for the two conventional tankers for the periods prior to their acquisitions by the Company when they were owned and operating under the control of Teekay Corporation, are referred to as the Entities under Common Control and periods prior to their acquisitions have been recast to include their results in accordance with Common Control accounting as required under GAAP. The Entities under Common Control amounts included in the financial results are summarized for the respective periods in Appendix A. The amounts related to the Entities under Common Control impact only the accounting for the periods prior to the dates the vessels were acquired by the Company, and therefore will have no effect on the adjusted net income attributable to the shareholders or free cash flow of the Company for any period. |
| (2) | Other revenues include ship-to-ship transfer business revenue, in-process revenue contracts and the associated 100 percent reimbursement of the Hugli Spirit redundancy cost from a customer. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $5.3 million of restructuring charges, of which $0.9 million was reversed in second quarter of 2015, related to redundancy costs in connection with the termination of Australian seafarers of the Hugli Spirit upon the completion of the contract with its customer. |
| (3) | In November 2015, the Company sold one conventional tanker for aggregate proceeds of $11.2 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain of $0.8 million. |
| (4) | Includes realized losses relating to interest rate swaps that relate to amounts actually paid by the Company of $9.6 million, $2.4 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Of the $9.6 million realized loss in the three months ended March 31, 2016, $8.1 million was a swap termination payment made in connection with the January 2016 debt refinancing. |
| (5) | Included in equity income are the Company's proportionate share of earnings from its investment in TIL, which owned 18 conventional tankers at March 31, 2016, its 50 percent interest in the High-Q joint venture (High-Q), which owns one VLCC tanker, and its 50 percent interest in Teekay Tanker Operations Ltd (TTOL), which owns Teekay Corporation's conventional tanker commercial and technical management operations. The decrease in equity income from the High-Q joint venture for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to prior quarter, is primarily due to a higher unrealized loss on derivatives recognized in the current quarter and profit share recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2015. |
