Teekay Tankers Ltd. Reports Third Quarter Results
HAMILTON, BERMUDA--(Marketwire - Nov 8, 2012) - Teekay Tankers Ltd. (TNK) -
Highlights
Declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Reported third quarter 2012 adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers(1) of $7.7 million, or $0.09 per share.
Extended time-charter out contract of one Aframax tanker for an additional two years, increasing fixed coverage from 38 percent to 42 percent for fiscal 2013.
Total liquidity of $382.9 million with no significant debt maturities until 2017.
Teekay Tankers Ltd. (Teekay Tankers or the Company) today reported its results for the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company generated $9.7 million, or $0.12 per share, in Cash Available for Distribution(2), compared to $11.8 million, or $0.15 per share, in the second quarter of 2012. On November 7, 2012, Teekay Tankers declared a dividend of $0.02 per share(3) for the third quarter of 2012, which will be paid on November 26, 2012 to all shareholders of record on November 19, 2012.
Teekay Tankers'' policy is to pay a variable quarterly dividend equal to its Cash Available for Distribution, subject to any reserves its board of directors may from time to time determine are required. Since the Company''s initial public offering in December 2007, it has declared a dividend in 20 consecutive quarters, which now totals $7.155 per share on a cumulative basis (including the dividend to be paid on November 26, 2012).
"Our third quarter Cash Available for Distribution of $0.12 per share was down from $0.15 per share in the second quarter of 2012 due to a combination of seasonally weaker Suezmax spot tanker rates, a higher than usual drydocking schedule and reduced time-charter revenue," commented Bruce Chan, Teekay Tankers'' Chief Executive Officer. "This quarter''s dividend was impacted by these factors and the increased reserves established by the Board for debt repayments following our 13-vessel acquisition in June."
Mr. Chan continued, "We continue to benefit from Teekay Corporation''s relationships which provide strategically important time-charter out contract opportunities. In addition to the two previously announced Aframax time-charter out contracts entered into in late July, we extended another Aframax time-charter out contract in October at an attractive rate of $18,000 per day for two years. As a result, our estimated fixed cover for fiscal 2013 has increased from 38 percent to 42 percent, providing further insulation from the expected weak tanker market. The cyclical weakness in the tanker rate environment has lowered vessel values by close to 50 percent from their July 2008 peak. With the stability provided by a strong balance sheet and over $380 million of available liquidity, we believe that Teekay Tankers is well-positioned for an eventual tanker market recovery."
Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to Appendix A to this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure as used in this release to the most directly comparable financial measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and for information about specific items affecting net income that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Company''s financial results.
Cash Available for Distribution represents net income (loss), plus depreciation and amortization, unrealized losses from derivatives, non-cash items and any write-offs of other non-recurring items, less unrealized gains from derivatives and net income attributable to the historical results of vessels acquired by the Company from Teekay Corporation, for the period when these vessels were owned and operated by Teekay Corporation.
Please refer to Appendix B to this release for the calculation of the cash dividend amount.
Estimated Fourth Quarter 2012 Dividend
The table below presents the estimated cash dividend per share for the quarter ending December 31, 2012 at various average rates earned by the Company''s spot tanker fleet and reflects the estimated contribution from its existing fixed-rate, time-charter contracts and estimated reserves for scheduled vessel drydockings and debt principal repayments. These estimates are based on current assumptions and actual dividends may differ materially from those included in the following table. The Company''s Aframax/LR2 and Suezmax spot rates earned during the fourth quarter of 2012 may not necessarily equal industry averages:
Q4 2012 Dividend Estimate | Suezmax Spot Rate Assumption (TCE per day) | |||||||
Dividend Per Share (i) | $10,000 | $15,000 | $20,000 | $25,000 | $30,000 | $35,000 | $40,000 | |
Aframax/LR2 | $10,000 | 0.01 | 0.04 | 0.07 | 0.11 | 0.15 | 0.19 | 0.22 |

$35,000 | 0.23 | 0.26 | 0.29 | 0.33 | 0.37 | 0.40 | 0.44 | |
(i) Estimated dividend per share is based on estimated Cash Available for Distribution, less $5.0 million for scheduled principal payments related to the Company''s debt facilities and less a $3.4 million reserve for estimated drydocking costs. Based on the estimated weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 83.6 million shares.
Tanker Market
Suezmax tanker spot rates weakened considerably during the third quarter of 2012, dragged lower by an extremely weak VLCC market, reduced demand for West African imports into the U.S. and an ample supply of available vessels. Aframax spot rates remained relatively steady during the quarter, although rates in the Atlantic were reduced somewhat by seasonal North Sea oil field maintenance. Rates have remained relatively weak during the start of the fourth quarter, although the recent end of the refinery maintenance season and the onset of winter weather conditions in the Northern Hemisphere could provide some support to crude tanker demand in the coming months.
Long Range 2 (LR2) product tanker rates improved during the third quarter of 2012 to the highest level experienced in two years. An increase in long-haul naphtha movements into Asia due to improved demand and refinery outages in Asia was the main catalyst for rate increases compared to previous quarters. Reduced competition for westbound gasoil cargoes from newbuilding crude tankers delivering in Asia also provided support to rates on those trades.
The global tanker fleet grew by a net amount of 14.6 million deadweight tonnes (mdwt), or 3.1 percent, through the first nine months of 2012 compared to growth of 22.0 mdwt, or 4.9 percent, for the same period of 2011. A total of 25.5 mdwt of tankers have delivered into the fleet during the first nine months of 2012, while 10.9 mdwt have been removed for scrapping or conversion. The level of new tanker ordering remains extremely low, with just 8.1 mdwt of new tankers ordered in 2012 to-date. As a result, the tanker orderbook has reduced to 62 mdwt, or 13 percent of the existing fleet, the lowest level since the first quarter of 2003 on an absolute basis and the lowest level since the second quarter of 2000 on an orderbook-to-fleet ratio basis.
As a result of continued headwinds in the global economy, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently downgraded its outlook for global GDP growth in 2012 and 2013 to 3.3 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively, from 3.5 percent and 3.9 percent in its July 2012 report. This has translated into lower 2013 oil demand growth estimates from the major forecasting agencies, with an average estimated growth rate of 0.8 million barrels per day (mb/d) for 2013 from the International Energy Agency (IEA), Energy Information Administration (EIA) and Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Financial Summary
The Company reported an adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers(1) (as detailed in Appendix A to this release) of $7.7 million, or $0.09 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, for the same period in the prior year. The reduction in adjusted net income attributable to the shareholders of Teekay Tankers is primarily the result of three Suezmax tankers completing their scheduled drydockings during the third quarter of 2012, the change in employment of certain of the Company''s vessels from fixed-rates to lower spot-rates on expiry of their fixed-rate charters, and the renewal of certain time-charter out contracts at lower rates, which resulted in lower average realized tanker rates compared to the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers excludes a number of specific items which had the net effect of increasing net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers by $1.9 million, or $0.03 per share, and decreasing net income attributable to the shareholders of Teekay Tankers by $18.4 million, or $0.30 per share for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A to this release. Including these items, the Company reported, on a GAAP basis, a net loss attributable to the shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $9.7 million, or $0.12 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $17.1 million, or $0.28 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Net revenues(2) were $43.9 million and $51.5 million for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers (as detailed in Appendix A to this release) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $3.7 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $11.2 million, or $0.19 per share, for the same period of the prior year. The reduction in the adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers was primarily the result of three Suezmax tankers completing their scheduled drydockings during the third quarter of 2012, the change in employment of certain of the Company''s vessels from fixed-rates to lower spot-rates on expiry of their fixed-rate charters, and the renewal of certain time-charter out contracts at lower rates, which resulted in lower average realized rates compared to the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers excludes a number of specific items which had the net effect of decreasing net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers by $0.8 million, or $0.01 per share, and decreasing net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers by $19.8 million, or $0.33 per share, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, as detailed in Appendix A to this release. Including these items, the Company reported, on a GAAP basis, net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $4.4 million, or $0.06 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers of $8.6 million, or $0.14 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net revenues(2) were $148.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $164.1 million for same period last year.
For accounting purposes, the Company is required to recognize the changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments in the statements of (loss) income. This method of accounting does not affect the Company''s cash flows or the calculation of Cash Available for Distribution, but results in the recognition of unrealized gains or losses in the statements of (loss) income.
The Company''s financial statements for the prior periods include historical results of the 13 vessels acquired by the Company from Teekay Corporation in June 2012, referred to herein as the Dropdown Predecessor, for the periods when these vessels were owned and operated by Teekay Corporation.
Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to Appendix A included in this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP and information about specific items affecting net income that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Company''s financial results.
Net revenues represents revenues less voyage expenses. Net revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of shipping companies. Please see the Company''s website at www.teekaytankers.com for a reconciliation of net revenues to the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP.

One Aframax tanker, Star Lady, is currently time-chartered in for a six-month period ending in January 2013, with options to extend for additional periods of six and twelve months, respectively, at escalating rates.
The fleet list above includes one very large crude carrier (VLCC) newbuilding that Teekay Tankers owns through a 50/50 joint venture with Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings Limited entered into in October 2010. The newbuilding is scheduled to deliver in April 2013, at which time it will commence a time-charter out contract to a major Chinese shipping company for a period of five years. The time-charter includes a fixed floor rate, coupled with a profit-sharing component.
In October 2012, the Company extended its time-charter out contract on the Aframax tanker, Matterhorn Spirit, for a period of two years at a rate of $18,000 per day.
In July 2010, the Company made loans secured by first-priority ship mortgages on two VLCC newbuildings, the income of which the Company believes approximates that of two vessels trading on fixed-rate bareboat charters. Including the income earned from these loans, the Company expects to have fixed coverage of approximately 42 percent for fiscal 2013.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had total liquidity of $382.9 million (which consisted of $26.3 million of cash and $356.6 million in an undrawn revolving credit facility), compared to total liquidity of $386.1 million as at June 30, 2012.

The Company acquired 13 vessels from Teekay Corporation in June 2012. Results for the 13 conventional tankers for the periods prior to their acquisition by the Company when they were owned and operating under Teekay Corporation, are referred to as the Dropdown Predecessor. Dropdown Predecessor amounts included in the financial results are summarized for the respective periods in Appendix A.
Includes realized losses relating to interest rate swaps of $2.4 million, $2.4 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, and $7.1 million and $36.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. The realized loss relating to interest rate swap for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes $29.8 million attributable to the interest rate swap that was acquired as part of the Dropdown Predecessor, which had its fixed interest rate amended in the first quarter of 2011 from 5.07 percent to 2.51 percent.
Earnings per share attributable to shareholders of Teekay Tankers is determined by dividing (a) net (loss) income of the Company after adjusting for the amount of net (loss) income attributable to the Dropdown Predecessor by (b) the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period.
