Note 1 — Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of International Seaways, Inc. (“INSW”), a Marshall Islands corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “INSW”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”, refer to International Seaways, Inc. and its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s operating fleet consisted of 76 wholly-owned or lease financed and time chartered-in oceangoing vessels, engaged primarily in the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products in the International Flag trade through its wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition to our operating fleet, six LR1 newbuilds are scheduled for delivery to the Company between the second half of 2025 and third quarter of 2026, bringing the total operating and newbuild fleet to 82 vessels.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

All intercompany balances and transactions within INSW have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned affiliated companies, in which INSW exercises significant influence, are accounted for by the equity method.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies:

For a description of all of the Company’s material accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following is a summary of any changes or updates to the Company’s critical accounting policies for the current period:

Concentration of Credit Risk — The allowance for credit losses is recognized as an allowance or contra-asset and reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the voyage receivables balance. Activity for allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)		Allowance for Credit Losses - Voyage Receivables
Balance at December 31, 2023	$	191
Reversal of expected credit losses		(1)
Balance at September 30, 2024	$	190

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any individual customers who accounted for 10% or more of its revenues apart from the pools in which it participates. The pools in which the Company participates accounted in aggregate for 97% and 95% of consolidated voyage receivables at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Deferred finance charges — Finance charges, excluding original issue discount, incurred in the arrangement of new debt and/or amendments resulting in the modification of existing debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense on either an effective interest

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

method or straight-line basis over the term of the related debt. Unamortized deferred finance charges of $11.8 million and $4.5 million relating to the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility and the $160 Million Revolving Credit Facility (See Note 8, “Debt”) as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized deferred financing charges of $6.8 million and $11.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, relating to the Company’s outstanding debt facilities, are included in long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

Interest expense relating to the amortization of deferred financing charges amounted to $0.8 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $1.2 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Vessels construction in progress — Interest costs are capitalized to vessels during the period that vessels are under construction.

Interest capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and nil and $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Construction of the Company’s three dual-fuel LNG VLCCs was completed, and the vessels were delivered to the Company between March 2023 and May 2023. The Company has six LR1 newbuilds under construction that are scheduled for delivery to the Company between the second half of 2025 and third quarter of 2026.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards — The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to communicate changes to the codification.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This guidance is expected to improve financial reporting by providing additional information about a public company’s significant segment expenses and more timely and detailed segment information reporting throughout the fiscal year. This guidance requires annual and interim period disclosure of significant segment expenses that are provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as well as interim disclosures for all reportable segments’ profit or loss. It also requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and will apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the disclosures to our consolidated financial statements. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there will be no effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance will require additional disclosures and disaggregation of certain costs and expenses presented on the face of the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the disclosures to our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Earnings per Common Share:

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing earnings, after the deduction of dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock units not classified as participating securities. Participating securities are defined by ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, as

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Weighted average shares of unvested restricted common stock considered to be participating securities totaled 20,198 and 23,302 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and 29,519 and 38,288 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Such participating securities are allocated a portion of income, but not losses under the two-class method. As of September 30, 2024, there were 419,215 shares of restricted stock units and 174,417 stock options outstanding and considered to be potentially dilutive securities.

Reconciliations of the numerator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)		2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income allocated to:
Common Stockholders	$	91,650	$	97,878	$	380,730	$	424,011
Participating securities		38		59		171		321
	$	91,688	$	97,937	$	380,901	$	424,332

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 earnings per share calculations, there were 336,905 and 374,871 dilutive equity awards outstanding, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 earnings per share calculations, there were 413,666 and 433,924 dilutive equity awards outstanding, respectively. Awards of 593,632 and 579,779 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and 774,957 and 804,199 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion of these awards would be anti-dilutive.

Note 4 — Business and Segment Reporting:

The Company has two reportable segments: Crude Tankers and Product Carriers. Adjusted income/(loss) from vessel operations for segment purposes is defined as income/(loss) from vessel operations before general and administrative expenses, other operating expenses, third-party debt modification fees and gain on disposal of vessels and assets, net. The accounting policies followed by the reportable segments are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses time charter equivalent revenues, which represent shipping revenues less voyage expenses, as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time charter. Time charter equivalent revenues, a non-GAAP measure, provide additional meaningful information in conjunction

Note 5 — Vessels:

Impairment of Vessels and Other Property

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company gave consideration as to whether events or changes in circumstances had occurred since December 31, 2023, that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the vessels in the Company’s fleet may not be recoverable. The Company determined that no held-for-sale or held-for-use impairment indicators existed for the Company’s vessels as of September 30, 2024.

Vessel Acquisitions and Construction Commitments

On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into agreements to acquire two 2014-built and four 2015-built MR Product Carriers for an aggregate consideration of approximately $232 million, payable 85% in cash and 15% in shares of common stock of the Company. All six vessels were delivered during the second quarter of 2024 and are Collateral Vessels under the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 8, “Debt”). In total, for the acquisition of the vessels, the Company paid $198.3 million in cash, including $1.1 million for initial stores on board and directly related third-party professional fees, and also issued 623,778 shares of its common stock to the sellers. Such shares had an aggregate value of $36.8 million based upon the closing market price of the Company’s stock on each of the vessel delivery dates.

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

An automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 was filed with the SEC on April 29, 2024 that, in connection with prospectus supplements filed during the second quarter of 2024, registered the aggregate 623,778 shares that were issued in conjunction with these vessel acquisitions and facilitated the seller’s ability to offer and sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock issued to them under this transaction.

In March 2024 the Company exercised options to build two additional dual-fuel ready LNG 73,600 dwt LR1s at the same shipyard from which its other four newbuild LR1s were ordered. The six LR1s are expected to be delivered beginning in the second half of 2025 through the third quarter of 2026 for an aggregate cost of approximately $359 million. The remaining commitments on the contracts for the construction of the LR1 newbuilds as of September 30, 2024 was $335.3 million, which will be paid for through a combination of long-term financing and available liquidity.

Disposal/Sales of Vessels

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company delivered one 2009-built and two 2008-built MRs to their buyers and recognized an aggregate gain of $41.4 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company delivered a 2008-built MR to its buyer and recognized a gain of $10.9 million.

Note 6 — Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”):

Unconsolidated VIEs

As of September 30, 2024, all of the seven commercial pools in which the Company participates were determined to be VIEs for which the Company is not considered a primary beneficiary.

The following table presents the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the unconsolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2024:


(Dollars in thousands)	Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
Pool working capital deposits	$	33,794

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company evaluated its maximum exposure to loss related to these unconsolidated VIEs by assuming a complete loss of the Company’s investment in these VIEs. The table below compares the Company’s liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet to the maximum exposure to loss at September 30, 2024:


(Dollars in thousands)		Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet	Maximum Exposure to Loss
Other Liabilities	$	–	$	33,794

In addition, as of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $182.5 million of trade receivables from the pools that were determined to be a VIE. These trade receivables, which are included in voyage receivables in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, have been excluded from the above tables and the calculation of INSW’s maximum exposure to loss. The Company does not record the maximum exposure to loss as a liability because it does not believe that such a loss is probable of occurring as of September 30, 2024.

(3)	Fixed rate debt – the fair value of fixed rate debt has been determined using level 2 inputs by discounting the expected cash flows of the outstanding debt.

Derivatives

At September 30, 2024, the Company was party to amortizing interest rate swap agreements with major financial institutions participating in the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility that effectively converts the Company’s interest rate exposure from a three-month SOFR floating rate to a fixed rate of 2.84% through the maturity date of February 22, 2027. The interest rate swap agreements, which contain no leverage features, are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and have a remaining aggregate notional value of $255.6 million as of September 30, 2024, covering for accounting purposes, the $94.6 million principal balance outstanding under the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility and $161.0 million outstanding under the Ocean Yield Lease Financing. Also, as of September 30, 2024, approximately $0.4 million in net gains from previously terminated interest rate swaps are expected to be amortized out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings over the next 12 months.

Derivatives are recorded on a net basis by counterparty when a legal right of offset exists. The Company had the following amounts recorded on a net basis by transaction in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the Company’s use of derivatives as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

ING Credit Facility

On April 18, 2024, the Company prepaid the outstanding principal balance of $20.3 million and terminated the ING Credit Facility.

$750 Million Credit Facility

On April 26, 2024, the Company, International Seaways Operating Corporation (the “Borrower”) and certain of their subsidiaries entered into a second amendment that amended and extended the $750 Million Credit Facility with Nordea Bank Abp, New York Branch (“Nordea”), BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (“CA-CIB”), DNB Markets Inc., and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (PUBL) (or their respective affiliates), as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners; ING Bank N.V., London Branch and Danish Ship Finance A/S (or their respective affiliates), as lead arrangers and National Australia Bank Limited, as co-arranger. Nordea is acting as administrative agent, collateral agent, coordinator and security trustee under the amended agreement, and CA-CIB is acting as sustainability coordinator.

Immediately prior to the closing of the second amendment, the $750 Million Facility, had a remaining term loan balance of $94.6 million and undrawn revolver capacity of $257.4 million. The amended agreement consists of a $500 million revolving credit facility

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(the “$500 Million Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on January 31, 2030. That maturity date is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events (as described in the credit agreement). The $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first lien on certain of the Company’s vessels (the “Collateral Vessels”), along with their earnings, insurances and certain other assets, as well as by liens on certain additional assets of the Borrower. Under the terms of the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility capacity is reduced on a quarterly basis by approximately $12.8 million, based on a 20-year age-adjusted profile of the Collateral Vessels. The $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility bears an interest rate based on term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin (each as defined in the credit agreement). The Applicable Margin is 1.85% and is subject to similar sustainability-linked features as included in the $750 Million Credit Facility, that are aimed at reducing the carbon footprint, targeting expenditures toward energy efficiency improvements and maintaining a safety record above the industry average. The Company’s performance against these sustainability measures could impact the margin by five basis points. At the time of closing, $94.6 million was drawn on the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility. An additional $50 million was drawn in June 2024, and subsequently repaid during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

An aggregate of $94.6 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2024, leaving us an undrawn revolver capacity of $392.6 million on this facility.

The $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary representations, warranties, restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company, the Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors (and in certain cases, other subsidiaries), including financial covenants that are consistent with existing financial covenants in the $750 Million Credit Facility and require the Company (i) to maintain a minimum liquidity level of the greater of $50 million and 5% of the Company’s Consolidated Indebtedness; (ii) to ensure the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ Maximum Leverage Ratio will not exceed 0.60 to 1.00 at any time; (iii) to ensure that Current Assets exceeds Current Liabilities (which is defined to exclude the current potion of Consolidated Indebtedness); and (iv) to ensure the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Collateral Vessels will not be less than 135% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility.

Debt Covenants

The Company was in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants under all of its financing arrangements as of September 30, 2024.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense before the impact of capitalized interest, including amortization of issuance and deferred financing costs, commitment, administrative and other fees for all of the Company’s debt facilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $12.6 million and $37.8 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $16.7 million and $53.2 million, respectively. Interest paid for the Company’s debt facilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $11.3 million and $34.5 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $16.8 million and $52.8 million, respectively. Interest paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 also included $2.0 million of the pre-delivery interest expense paid for the three dual-fuel LNG VLCC newbuilds.

Note 9 — Taxes:

As of September 30, 2024, the Company qualifies for an exemption from U.S. federal income taxes under Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and U.S. Treasury Department regulations for the 2024 calendar year, as less than 50 percent of the total value of the Company’s stock was held by one or more shareholders who own 5% or more of the Company’s stock for more than half of the days of 2024.

The Company reviews its provisions for uncertain tax positions relating to freight taxes in various tax jurisdictions on a regular basis and may update its assessment of its tax positions based on available information at that time. Such information may include additional legal advice as to the applicability of freight taxes in relevant jurisdictions. Freight tax regulations are subject to change and interpretation; therefore, the amounts recorded by the Company may change accordingly. There were no changes in such reserve recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Additionally, a number of countries, including some in which certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are domiciled, have drafted or are actively considering drafting legislation to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (“OECD”) international tax framework, including the Pillar Two Model Rules. These model rules call for a minimum global tax of 15% on large multinational enterprises with possible application from January 1, 2024 or later, depending on implementation by the individual countries in which the Company is domiciled. As currently enacted, the Pillar Two Model Rules have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in 2024, however, the Company is monitoring these developments and evaluating the necessary steps it can take to minimize the impact, if any, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and operations going forward.

Note 10 — Capital Stock and Stock Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the fair value method required by ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Such fair value method requires share-based payment transactions to be measured according to the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Director Compensation – Restricted Common Stock

On February 19, 2024, Mr. Nadim Qureshi resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Qureshi’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or the Board on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. In connection with his resignation, the Board approved the accelerated vesting of the 2,635 restricted shares of INSW common stock previously granted to Mr. Qureshi in June 2023 (valued at approximately $0.1 million) and the Company did not seek reimbursement of any cash director fees paid to Mr. Qureshi in advance for the first quarter of 2024. In consideration of this action, Mr. Qureshi entered into a one-year agreement not to compete with the Company’s crude and product tanker operations.

In June 2024, the Company awarded a total of 20,198 restricted common stock shares to its non-employee directors. The weighted average fair market value of INSW’s stock on the measurement date of such awards was $57.17 per share. Such restricted share awards vest in full on the earlier of the next annual meeting of the stockholders or June 13, 2025, subject to each director continuing to provide services to INSW through such date. The restricted share awards granted may not be transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered prior to vesting. Prior to the vesting date, a holder of restricted share awards otherwise has all the rights of a shareholder of INSW, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive dividends paid with respect to such shares at the same time as common shareholders generally.

Management Compensation

Stock Options

There were no stock options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. A total of 65,179 and 25,937 stock options were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, by certain senior officers and employees of the Company at an average exercise price of $21.74 and $22.11 per share, respectively. After withholdings for taxes and costs, the Company issued a total of 18,765 and 6,843 shares, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in conjunction with these exercises.

Restricted Stock Units

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 82,076 time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain of its senior officers and employees. The weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was $52.99 per RSU. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of INSW common stock upon vesting. 48,078 of the RSUs awarded will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date and 33,998 of the RSUs awarded will cliff vest on October 24, 2025.

Each performance stock unit represents a contingent right to receive RSUs based upon the covered employees being continuously employed through the end of the period over which the performance goals are measured and shall vest as follows: (i) one-half of the target RSUs shall vest on December 31, 2026, subject to INSW’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance in the three-year ROIC performance period relative to a target rate (the “ROIC Target”) set forth in the award agreements; and (ii) one-half of the target RSUs shall vest on December 31, 2026, subject to INSW’s three-year total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance relative to that of a performance peer group over a three-year performance period (“TSR Target”). Vesting is subject in each case to the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors’ certification of achievement of the performance measures and targets no later than March 15, 2027. The weighted average grant date fair value of the awards with performance conditions was determined to be $52.57 per RSU. The weighted average grant date fair value of the TSR based performance awards which have a market condition was estimated using a Monte Carlo probability model and determined to be $41.08 per RSU.

Dividends

During 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors have declared and paid the following regular quarterly and supplemental dividends:

Note 12 — Revenue:

Revenue Recognition

The majority of the Company’s contracts for pool revenues, time charter revenues, and voyage charter revenues are accounted for as lease revenue under ASC 842. The Company’s contracts with pools are short term which are cancellable with up to 90 days’ notice. As of September 30, 2024, the Company is a party to time charter out contracts with customers on three VLCCs, two Suezmaxes, one Aframax, one LR2, and eight MRs with expiry dates ranging from November 2024 to April 2030. The Company’s contracts with customers for voyage charters are short term and vary in length based upon the duration of each voyage. Lease revenue for non-variable lease payments is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis and lease revenue for variable lease payments (e.g., demurrage) is recognized in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

Lightering services provided by the Company’s Crude Tanker Lightering Business, and voyage charter contracts that do not meet the definition of a lease are accounted for as service revenues under ASC 606. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of or consumes promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services.

We receive payments from customers based on the schedule established in our contracts. Contract assets relate to our conditional right to consideration for our completed performance obligations under contracts and decrease when the right to consideration becomes unconditional or payments are received. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under contracts and are recognized when performance under the respective contract has been completed. Deferred revenues allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations will be recognized over time as the services are performed.

Performance Obligations

All of the Company’s performance obligations are generally transferred to customers over time. The expected duration of services is less than one year. There were no material adjustments in revenues from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

As of September 30, 2024, there were no unamortized deferred costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract.

European Union’s Emissions Trading System

Commencing January 1, 2024, the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (“EU ETS”) was extended to cover Carbon dioxide (“CO₂”) emissions from ships over 5,000 gross tons entering EU ports. The EU ETS covers (a) 50% of emissions from voyages either starting in or ending in an EU port, and (b) 100% of emissions from voyages between two EU ports or emissions generated while a ship is within an EU port.

Shipping companies will have to surrender EU ETS emissions allowances (“EUA”) for each ton of reported CO₂ emissions in the scope of the EU ETS. There is a phase-in period for the regulations, as allowances will have to be submitted for 40% of 2024 emissions, 70% of 2025 emissions and 100% of emissions for 2026 and subsequent years. Beginning in 2026, the scope of the EU ETS will also be expanded to include Methane (“CH₄”) and Nitrous oxide (“N₂O”).

EUAs are valued based upon a market approach utilizing prices published on an EUA market index. The value of the EUAs to be provided to the Company pursuant to the terms of its agreements with the charterers of its vessels and the commercial pools in which it participates is included in shipping revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The value of the EUA obligations incurred by the Company under the EU ETS while its vessels are on-hire is included in voyage expenses, or in vessel expenses while its vessels are off-hire, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

EUAs held by the Company are intended to be used to settle its EUA obligations and are accounted for as intangible assets. The Company did not hold any EUAs as of September 30, 2024. EUAs relating to 2024 emissions are required to be surrendered to the EU authorities in September 2025.

1. Charters-in of vessel assets:

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has commitments to time charter-in two LR1s through to June 2025 and March 2026, respectively. The 18-month charter-in lease period of one of the LR1s did not commence until the vessel was delivered in October 2024. Accordingly, the associated operating lease liability and right of use asset were not recognized as of September 30, 2024. The minimum lease payments (including both lease and non-lease components) due under this time charter-in will be $3,240, $12,994, and $2,563 in 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively.

Revenues from a time charter are not generally received when a vessel is off-hire, including time required for normal periodic maintenance of the vessel. In arriving at the minimum future charter revenues, an estimated time off-hire to perform periodic maintenance on each vessel has been deducted, although there is no assurance that such estimate will be reflective of the actual off-hire in the future.

See Note 15, “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans,” for additional information on the Company’s defined benefit pension plan obligations.

Note 15 – Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

In September 2024, the Company contributed $3.6 million into the OSG Ship Management (UK) Ltd. Retirement Benefits Plan (the “Plan”) to allow the Trustee of the Plan to purchase a $21.0 million insurance contract tailored to match the full value of future Plan benefits payable from the Plan. In this arrangement, the Company’s pension benefit obligation and related risks and rewards are not transferred to the insurance company, and as a result, the Company continues to be responsible for paying the benefits. However, this arrangement generally constitutes an economic settlement of the liability by eliminating relevant risks associated with changes to the obligation, including investment, interest rate and longevity risk. The contract is accounted for as a plan asset in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. As this arrangement does not qualify for settlement accounting under ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits, the corresponding obligation is netted against the plan asset in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at an equal amount.

The Company expects the benefits due to the participants under the Plan to be transferred to the insurance company at the completion of their standard review of the Plan’s underlying data with minimal or no additional cost to the Company. At such time, the Company believes the arrangement will qualify for the settlement accounting.

Multi-Employer Plans

The Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”) is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan covering British crew members that served as officers on board INSW’s vessels (as well as vessels of other owners). The Trustees of the MNOPF have indicated that, under the terms of the High Court ruling in 2005, which established the liability of past employers to fund the deficit on the Post 1978 section of MNOPF, calls for further contributions may be required if additional actuarial deficits arise or if other employers liable for contributions are not able to pay their share in the future. On July 11, 2024, the Company and the Trustees of the MNOPF entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company paid $0.1 million and the Trustees of the MNOPF agreed not to seek any future contributions from the Company.

The Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Fund (“MNRPF”) is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan covering British crew members that served as ratings (seamen) on board INSW’s vessels (as well as vessels of other owners) more than 20 years ago. Based on a High Court ruling in 2015, the Trustees of the MNRPF levied assessments to recover the significant deficit in the plan from participating employers. Participating employers include current employers, historic employers that have made voluntary contributions, and historic employers such as INSW that have made no deficit contributions. In September 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with the Trustees of the MNRPF to release the Company from any future obligation to fund deficits in the plan in exchange for the Company’s payment of $0.8 million.

The Company also made payments totaling $0.1 million to reimburse the Trustees of the MNOPF and MNRPF for costs incurred in connection with the agreements entered into with the Company.

Note 16 — Contingencies:

INSW’s policy for recording legal costs related to contingencies is to expense such legal costs as incurred.

Legal Proceedings Arising in the Ordinary Course of Business

The Company is a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to various suits in the ordinary course of business for monetary relief arising principally from personal injuries, wrongful death, collision or other casualty and to claims arising under charter parties and other contract disputes. A substantial majority of such personal injury, wrongful death, collision or other casualty claims against the

In late July 2023, one of the Company’s vessels was arrested in connection with a commercial dispute arising earlier in 2023. Although the vessel was subsequently released, the arresting parties continue to seek approximately $25 million in security. The underlying commercial dispute is in arbitration in England. The Company is defending itself vigorously against the arrest and the allegations in the underlying dispute. The Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter, and no estimate of liability has been accrued at this time.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements represent the Company’s reasonable expectation with respect to future events or circumstances based on various factors and are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Company’s operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. Undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements and consideration should be given to the following factors when reviewing any such statement. Such factors include, but are not limited to:

●

the highly cyclical nature of INSW’s industry;

●

fluctuations in the market value of vessels;

●

declines in charter rates, including spot charter rates or other market deterioration;

●

General:

We are a provider of ocean transportation services for crude oil and refined petroleum products. We operate our vessels in the International Flag market. Our business includes two reportable segments: Crude Tankers and Product Carriers. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 we derived 55% and 54%, respectively, of our TCE revenues from our Product Carriers segment compared with 53% and 52% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Revenues from our Crude Tankers segment constituted the balance of our TCE revenues in the 2024 and 2023 periods.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s operating fleet consisted of 76 wholly-owned or lease financed and time chartered-in vessels aggregating 9.0 million deadweight tons (“dwt”). In addition to our operating fleet of 76 vessels, six LR1 newbuilds are scheduled for delivery to the Company between the second half of 2025 and third quarter of 2026, bringing the total operating and newbuild fleet to 82 vessels. Our fleet includes VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax crude tankers and LR2, LR1 and MR product carriers.

The Company’s revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by the Company and the trades in which those vessels operate. Rates for the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products from which the Company earns a substantial majority of its revenues are determined by market forces such as the supply and demand for oil, the distance that cargoes must be transported, and the number of vessels expected to be available at the time such cargoes need to be transported. The demand for oil shipments is significantly affected by the state of the global economy, levels of U.S. domestic and international production and OPEC exports. The number of vessels available to transport cargo is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally through storage, recycling or conversions. The Company’s revenues are also affected by its vessel employment strategy, which seeks to achieve the optimal mix of spot (voyage charter) and long-term (time or bareboat charter) charters. Because shipping revenues and voyage expenses are significantly affected by the mix between voyage charters and time charters, the Company measures the performance of its fleet of vessels based on TCE revenues. Management makes economic decisions based on anticipated TCE rates and evaluates financial performance based on TCE rates achieved. In order to take advantage of market conditions and optimize economic performance, management employs all of the Company’s LR1 product carriers, which currently participate in the Panamax International Pool, in the transportation of crude oil cargoes.

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

Our revenues are derived primarily from spot market voyage charters and our vessels are predominantly employed in the spot market via market-leading commercial pools. We derived approximately 84% and 87% of our total TCE revenues in the spot market for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared with 89% and 92% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The future minimum revenues, before reduction for brokerage commissions, expected to be received on non-cancelable time charters for three VLCCs, two Suezmaxes, one Aframax, one LR2, and eight MRs, as of September 30, 2024 are as follows:


(Dollars in millions)	Amount⁽¹⁾
2024	$	36.5
2025		114.2
2026		79.6
2027		39.4
2028		34.0
Thereafter		41.0
Future minimum revenues	$	344.8

(1)

Future minimum contracted revenues do not include the Company’s share of time charters entered into by the pools in which it participates or profit-sharing above the base rate on the newbuild dual-fuel LNG VLCCs. In arriving at the minimum future charter revenues, an estimated time off-hire to perform periodic maintenance on each vessel has been deducted, although there is no assurance that such estimate will be reflective of the actual off-hire in the future.

Operations and Oil Tanker Markets:

The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) estimates global oil consumption for the third quarter of 2024 at 103.6 million barrels per day (“b/d”), up 0.7% from the same quarter in 2023. The estimate for global oil consumption for 2024 is 102.8 million b/d, an increase of 0.8% over the 2023 estimate of 102.0 million b/d. OECD demand in 2024 is estimated to remain unchanged at 45.6 million b/d, while non-OECD demand is estimated to increase by 1.6% to 57.2 million b/d.

Global oil production in the third quarter of 2024 was 102.6 million b/d, a decrease of 0.1 million b/d from the third quarter of 2023. OPEC crude oil production averaged 26.5 million b/d in the third quarter of 2024, down 0.1 million b/d from the second quarter of 2024, and a decrease of 1.0 million b/d from the third quarter of 2023. Non-OPEC production increased by 0.8 million b/d to 70.5 million b/d in the third quarter of 2024 compared with the third quarter of 2023. Oil production in the U.S. of 13.2 million b/d in the third quarter of 2024 remained unchanged from the second quarter of 2024 and increased by 2.1% from the third quarter of 2023.

U.S. refinery throughput increased by 0.5 million b/d to 16.9 million b/d in the third quarter of 2024 compared with the second quarter of 2024. U.S. crude oil imports in the third quarter of 2024 increased by 0.8 million b/d to 7.1 million b/d compared with the third quarter of 2023, with imports from OPEC countries increasing by 0.1 million b/d and imports from non-OPEC countries increasing by 0.7 million b/d.

China’s crude oil imports for the first three quarters of 2024 decreased 2.8%, or 0.3 million b/d, to 11.0 million b/d, compared with the same period in 2023.

Total OECD commercial inventories ended the third quarter of 2024 down 1.3% or 18 million barrels of crude and up 1.5% or 23 million barrels of products, compared with the third quarter of 2023.

During the third quarter of 2024, the tanker fleet of vessels over 10,000 dwt increased, net of vessels recycled, by 1.5 million dwt as the crude fleet increased by 0.8 million dwt, split between Suezmaxes and Aframaxes. The product carrier fleet increased by 0.6 million dwt, all in the MR fleet. Year-over-year, the size of the tanker fleet increased by 5.5 million dwt with the VLCCs, Suezmaxes, Aframaxes, and MRs increasing by 0.6 million dwt, 0.3 million dwt, 2.3 million dwt, and 2.3 million dwt, respectively. The LR1/Panamax fleet remained unchanged.

During the third quarter of 2024, the tanker orderbook increased by 3.0 million dwt overall compared with the second quarter of 2024. The crude tanker orderbook increased by 1.9 million dwt. The VLCC orderbook increased by 1.5 million dwt and the Aframax orderbook increased by 0.3 million dwt. The product carrier orderbook increased by 1.1 million dwt, with increases in the LR1 and MR sectors of 0.3 million dwt and 0.8 million dwt respectively. Year-over-year, the total tanker orderbook increased by 44.8 million dwt, with increases in VLCC, Suezmaxes, Aframaxes, Panamaxes and LR1s of 15.2 million dwt, 7.9 million dwt, 9.1 million dwt, 2.7 million dwt and 10.0 million dwt, respectively.

While VLCC rates held steady during the third quarter, smaller vessel segments experienced decreases from the higher levels achieved during the first and second quarters of 2024. The weaker Chinese economy remains an impediment to stronger rates. Even so, rates remain significantly over 10-year average rates and cash breakeven levels, reflecting the continuing impact of the disruptions in trade flows on tanker demand.

Update on Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies:

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Company to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. For a description of all of the Company’s material accounting policies, see Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” to

the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for any changes or updates to the Company’s critical accounting policies for the current period.

Results from Vessel Operations:

During the third quarter of 2024, income from vessel operations decreased by $13.2 million to $101.0 million from $114.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Such decrease resulted principally from a quarter-over-quarter decrease in TCE revenues and increased vessel expenses and depreciation and amortization in the current quarter, partially offset by a $13.5 million gain on the sale of a vessel recognized in the current quarter.

TCE revenues in the third quarter of 2024 decreased by $16.3 million, or 7%, to $219.7 million from $236.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. This decrease reflects (i) an aggregate $17.6 million rates-based decline resulting from lower average daily rates earned in each of INSW’s Crude tanker fleet sectors and the LR1 fleet, (ii) a $9.5 million days-based decline in the LR1 fleet due to a smaller time chartered-in portfolio and 41 more off-hire days during the current quarter, partially offset by (iii) a $6.0 million aggregate rates-based increase in the MR and LR2 sectors, and (iv) a $1.2 million increase attributable to the Company’s Lightering business.

During the first nine months of 2024, income from vessel operations decreased by $58.0 million to $410.2 million from $468.1 million in the first nine months of 2023. Such decrease resulted principally from a $65.1 million decrease in TCE revenues and increased depreciation and amortization and vessel expenses in the current period, partially offset by higher gains on the sale of three vessels recognized in the first nine months of 2024 compared to one vessel sold in the first nine months of 2023.

The decrease in TCE revenues in the first nine months of 2024 of $65.1 million, or 8%, to $742.5 million from $807.6 million in the first nine months of 2023 reflects (i) a $41.2 million days-based decline in the LR1 sector, which was driven by factors similar to those discussed above for the quarter-over-quarter period, and (ii) a net rates-based decrease of $36.3 million resulting from lower average daily rates in the Crude tanker and LR1 fleets, partially offset by strengthened rates in the MR and LR2 sectors. Such decreases were partially offset by (iii) a $11.5 million days-based increase in the VLCC fleet resulting from the delivery of three dual-fuel LNG VLCC newbuilds between March 2023 and May 2023

See Note 4, “Business and Segment Reporting,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s segments, including reconciliations of (i) time charter equivalent revenues to shipping revenues and (ii) adjusted income from vessel operations for the segments to income before income taxes, as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, one Aframax was employed on a transitional voyage in the spot market outside of its ordinary course operations in the Aframax International pool. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, one Aframax was employed on a transitional voyage outside of the Dakota Tankers’ Aframax Pool. Such transitional voyages are excluded from the table above.

During the third quarter of 2024, TCE revenues for the Crude Tankers segment decreased by $11.9 million, or 11%, to $98.8 million from $110.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. Such decrease principally resulted from (i) an aggregate rates-based decrease in the VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax fleets of $13.6 million due to lower average daily blended rates in these sectors. This decrease was partially offset by (ii) a $1.2 million increase in the Crude Tankers Lightering business, and (iii) a $0.9 million days-based increase in the Aframax fleet, which reflected 25 fewer off-hire days in the current quarter.

Vessel expenses increased by $5.1 million to $34.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $29.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. Such increase primarily reflects increased costs for repairs and renewals, off-hire fuel, transportation and crew. Charter hire expenses increased by $1.7 million quarter-over-quarter due to increased charter hire expense in the Crude Tankers Lightering business, which primarily reflects incremental chartered-in Aframax days for full-service jobs.

Excluding depreciation and amortization and general and administrative expenses, operating income for the Crude Tankers Lightering business was $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared with $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease reflects lower service support only activity levels period-over-period, with 106 service support only lighterings being performed during the

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 114 in the prior year’s period. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in full service jobs, from one in the three months ended September 30, 2023, to three in the current quarter.

During the first nine months of 2024, TCE revenues for the Crude Tankers segment decreased by $45.3 million, or 12%, to $343.6 million from $389.0 million in the first nine months of 2023. Such decrease principally resulted from (i) an aggregate rates-based decrease in the VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax fleets of $62.3 million due to lower average daily blended rates in these sectors and (ii) a $4.7 million days-based decline in the Aframax fleet, which reflected 107 more off-hire days in the current period. These decreases were offset by (iii) a $11.5 million days-based increase in the VLCC fleet, which reflected the delivery of three dual-fuel LNG VLCC newbuilds during the first half of 2023, partially offset by 66 more off-hire days in the current period, (iv) a $6.9 million increase in the Crude Tankers Lightering business, and (v) a $3.3 million days-based increase in the Suezmax sector resulting from 56 fewer off-hire days in the current period.

Vessel expenses increased by $11.5 million to $94.6 million in the first nine months of 2024 from $83.2 million in the first nine months of 2023. The VLCC newbuild deliveries described above resulted in $3.2 million of incremental vessel expense in the current year’s period. The remainder of the increase was driven by factors consistent with the quarter-of-quarter variance described above, along with the timing of the delivery of stores and spare parts. Charter hire expenses increased by $2.5 million in the current year’s period due to increased charter hire expense in the Crude Tankers Lightering business, which primarily reflects incremental chartered-in Aframax days for full-service jobs and an increased daily rate on two of the workboats being chartered-in. Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.0 million to $60.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $56.6 million in the prior year’s comparable period principally as a result of the commencement of depreciation on the Company’s three dual-fuel LNG VLCC newbuilds.

Excluding depreciation and amortization and general and administrative expenses, operating income for the Crude Tankers Lightering business was $20.4 million for the first nine months of 2024 compared to $17.7 million for the first nine months of 2023. The increase reflects increased activity levels period-over-period, with 368 service support only lighterings and six full-service lightering jobs being completed during the first nine months of 2024 compared with 339 service support only lighterings and two full-service job during the first nine months of 2023.

(1)	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s LR2 was employed on a transitional voyage in the spot market subsequent to the May 2023 expiry of its time charter and prior to joining the Hafnia LR2 Pool in July 2023.

(2)

In order to take advantage of market conditions and optimize economic performance, during the 2024 and 2023 periods, management employed all of the Company’s LR1 product carriers, which operate in the Panamax International pool, exclusively in the transportation of crude oil cargoes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, one LR1 was employed on a transitional voyage in the spot market outside of its ordinary course operations in the Panamax International pool. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, two LR1s were employed on transitional voyages. Such transitional voyages are excluded from the table above.

(3)

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, certain of the Company’s MRs were employed on transitional voyages in the spot market outside of their ordinary course operations in commercial pools. Such transitional voyages are excluded from the table above.

During the third quarter of 2024, TCE revenues for the Product Carriers segment decreased by $4.3 million, or 3%, to $120.9 million from $125.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. The reduction in TCE revenues was primarily as a result of (i) a $9.5 million days-based decrease in the LR1 fleet sector which reflects the impacts of a 139-day net decrease in time-chartered in days and an increase of 41 off-hire days in the current period and (ii) a $4.1 million rates-based decrease in the LR1 sector due to lower average daily rates earned in the current quarter. Partially offsetting these decreases were (iii) a $5.5 million rates-based increase in MR fleet due to higher average blended rates earned in the current quarter, and (iv) a $4.1 million days-based increase in the MR sector, which reflects a 106-day increase in owned vessel days and 58 less off-hire days in the current period. The increase in owned vessel days resulted

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

from the Company’s acquisition of six MRs between April 2024 and May 2024, partially offset by the sales of five MRs between October 2023 and July 2024.

Vessel expenses increased by $1.6 million to $37.1 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $35.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. Such increase principally reflects higher drydock deviation costs in the LR1 sector. Charter hire expenses decreased by $5.8 million to $2.8 million in the current quarter from $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of the quarter-over-quarter decrease in time chartered-in LR1 days described above. Depreciation and amortization increased by $5.5 million to $18.8 million in the current quarter from $13.3 million in the prior year’s quarter. Such increase resulted primarily from increased drydock amortization and the MR purchases and sales referenced above, as the acquired vessels have higher cost bases than the older vessels that were sold.

During the first nine months of 2024, TCE revenues for the Product Carriers segment decreased by $19.8 million, or 5%, to $398.8 million from $418.6 million in the first nine months of 2023. The reduction in TCE revenues was primarily as a result of (i) a $41.2 million days-based decrease in the LR1 fleet sector which reflects the impacts of a 455-day net decrease in time-chartered in days and an increase of 215 off-hire days in the current year’s period, (ii) a $13.1 million rates-based decrease in the LR1 sector due to lower average daily rates earned in the current period, and (iii) a $3.1 million days-based decline in the MR sector, which reflects 55 fewer owned vessel days and 59 more off-hire days in the current period. The decrease in owned vessel days reflects the sale of six MRs between March 2023 and July 2024, partially offset by the six MR acquisitions during the second quarter of 2024 described above. Partially offsetting the TCE revenue decreases described above was (iv) a $39.1 million aggregate rates-based increase in the MR and LR2 sectors due to higher average daily blended rates earned in the current period.

Vessel expenses increased by $2.5 million to $107.9 million in the first nine months of 2024 from $105.4 million in the first nine months of 2023. Such increase principally reflects higher LR1 drydock deviation costs, partially offset by the impacts of the reduction in owned MR days noted above. Charter hire expenses decreased by $12.2 million to $9.1 million in the current period from $21.4 million in the first nine months of 2023, primarily as a result of the period-over-period decrease in time chartered-in LR1 days described above. Depreciation and amortization increased by $10.7 million to $49.4 million in the first nine months of 2024 from $38.7 million in the prior year’s period. The drivers of this increase were consistent with the quarter-over-quarter increase described above.

General and Administrative Expenses

During the third quarter of 2024, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million to $13.4 million from $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. The primary drivers for the increase were higher legal and consultancy fees of $0.3 million and an increase in compensation and benefits costs of $0.3 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.4 million to $37.5 million from $35.1 million for the same period in 2023. The increase principally relates to increased compensation and benefits costs of $0.7 million and higher legal fees of $0.8 million, principally incurred in connection with a commercial dispute. See Note 16, “Contingencies,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Other Operating Expenses

See Note 14, “Other Operating Expenses,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on these expenses.

Other Income

Other income was $3.2 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared with $0.6 million and $8.3 million of other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Other income for the current 2024 periods includes $2.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively, of interest income earned on invested cash, compared to $3.6 million and $11.3 million of interest income earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

decrease in interest income reflects the impact of a lower average balance of invested cash during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, attributable to the significant deleveraging initiatives completed during 2023 as well as a decrease in interest rates in anticipation of the Federal Reserve’s move to cut rates at the end of third quarter of 2024.

Interest Expense

The components of interest expense are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)		2024		2023		2024		2023
Interest before items shown below	$	14,562	$	19,471	$	44,497	$	61,219
Interest cost on defined benefit pension obligation		138		211		523		757
Impact of interest rate hedge derivatives		(1,893)		(2,865)		(6,468)		(8,016)
Capitalized interest		(311)		—		(744)		(2,282)
Interest expense	$	12,496	$	16,817	$	37,808	$	51,678

Interest expense decreased in the 2024 periods compared to the corresponding 2023 periods as a result of (i) a reduction in the average outstanding principal balance under the $750 Million Term Loan Facility (which was amended and extended in April 2024), (ii) the repayment in full of the COSCO Lease financing in July 2023 and (iii) the repayment in full of the ING Credit Facility in April 2024, partially offset by post-delivery interest expense related to the BoComm Lease Financing. See Note 8, “Debt,” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Company’s debt facilities.

Taxes

The Company qualifies for an exemption from U.S. federal income taxes under Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and U.S. Treasury Department regulations for the 2024 calendar year, as less than 50 percent of the total value of the Company’s stock was held by one or more shareholders who own 5% or more of the Company’s stock for more than half of the days of 2024. There can be no assurance at this time that INSW will continue to qualify for the Section 883 exemption beyond calendar year 2024. Should the Company not qualify for the exemption in the future, INSW will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation of 4% of its U.S. source shipping income on a gross basis without the benefit of deductions. Shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the U.S. will be considered to be 50% derived from sources within the United States. Shipping income attributable to transportation that both begins and ends in the U.S. would be considered to be 100% derived from sources within the United States, but INSW does not and cannot engage in transportation that gives rise to such income.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented to provide investors with meaningful additional information that management uses to monitor ongoing operating results and evaluate trends over comparative periods. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are:

●

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

●

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

●

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt.

While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by companies as a measure of operating results and performance, neither of those items as prepared by the Company is necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

The following table reconciles net income, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

Liquidity and Sources of Capital:

Our business is capital intensive. Our ability to successfully implement our strategy is dependent on the continued availability of capital on attractive terms. In addition, our ability to successfully operate our business to meet near-term and long-term debt repayment obligations is dependent on maintaining sufficient liquidity.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2024, we had total liquidity on a consolidated basis of $693.8 million comprised of $153.3 million of cash and $540.5 million of undrawn revolver capacity.

Working capital at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $269.0 million and $269.4 million, respectively. Current assets are highly liquid, consisting principally of cash, interest-bearing deposits, short-term investments consisting of time deposits with original maturities of between 91 and 180 days and receivables. Current liabilities include current installments of long-term debt of $49.8 million and $127.4 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by $23.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease principally reflects:

●

$216.6 million in expenditures for vessels and other property, including the purchase of two 2014-built and four 2015-built MRs;

●

$250.4 million of cash dividends paid to shareholders and share buybacks;

●

$56.3 million in regularly scheduled principal amortization of the Company’s secured debt facilities and lease financing arrangements; and

●

$20.3 million of principal prepayment of the ING Credit Facility.

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

Such cash outflows were partially offset by:

●

$453.5 million of cash provided by operating activities;

●

$10.0 million in net proceeds from maturities of short term time deposits; and

●

$71.9 million in net proceeds from the disposal of vessels and other assets.

Our cash and cash equivalents balances generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. We place our cash and cash equivalents in what we believe to be credit-worthy financial institutions. In addition, certain of our money market accounts invest in U.S. Treasury securities or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, floating rate and variable demand notes of U.S. and foreign corporations, commercial paper rated in the highest category by Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s, certificates of deposit and time deposits, asset-backed securities, and repurchase agreements.

As of September 30, 2024, we had total debt outstanding (net of original issue discount and deferred financing costs) of $650.5 million and net debt to capital of 21%, compared with 23.8% at December 31, 2023.

Sources, Uses and Management of Capital

Building on the strong market conditions during the first half of 2024 to date, we have (i) used incremental liquidity generated from operations and the proceeds from disposal of older tonnage at strong prices to invest in renewing and growing the fleet, (ii) enhanced our balance sheet and liquidity position, and (iii) continued to make substantial returns to shareholders.

In addition to future operating cash flows, our other future sources of funds are proceeds from issuances of equity securities, additional borrowings as permitted under our loan agreements and proceeds from the opportunistic sales of our vessels. Our current uses of funds are to fund working capital requirements, maintain the quality of our vessels, purchase vessels, pay newbuilding construction costs, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, repay or repurchase our outstanding loan facilities, pay a regular quarterly cash dividend, and from time to time, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay supplemental cash dividends.

The following is a summary of the significant capital allocation and strategic fleet optimization activities the Company executed so far during 2024 and sources of capital the Company has at its disposal for future use as well as the Company’s current commitments for future uses of capital:

During 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors have declared and paid the following regular quarterly and supplemental dividends:


Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Regular Quarterly Dividend per Share	Supplemental Dividend per Share	Total Dividends Paid
February 28, 2024	March 14, 2024	March 28, 2024	$0.12	$1.20	$64.7 million
May 7, 2024	June 12, 2024	June 26, 2024	$0.12	$1.63	$86.9 million
August 6, 2024	September 11, 2024	September 25, 2024	$0.12	$1.38	$73.8 million

Also, during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased and retired 501,646 shares of our common stock in open-market purchases, at an average price of $49.81 per share, for a total cost of $25.0 million.

In continuation of our strategic fleet optimization program, in February 2024, we entered into agreements for the en bloc purchase of four 2015-built and two 2014-built MR Product Carriers for an aggregate purchase price of $232 million. Eighty-five percent of the

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

purchase price consideration was funded from available liquidity and the balance of 15% with the issuance of common stock. All of the six vessels were delivered during the second quarter of 2024. An automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 was filed with the SEC on April 29, 2024 that, in connection with prospectus supplements filed during the second quarter of 2024, registered the aggregate 623,778 shares that were issued in conjunction with these vessel acquisitions and facilitated the seller’s ability to offer and sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock issued to them under this transaction.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into agreements for the sale of one 2009-built MR and two 2008-built MRs for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $72 million after fees and commissions. The vessels were delivered to their buyers between the second and third quarters of 2024 and we recognized total gains on the sales of approximately $41.4 million.

In March 2024 we also declared options to build two additional dual-fuel ready LNG 73,600 dwt LR1 Product Carriers at the same shipyard where our other four newbuild LR1s are currently under construction. The six LR1s are expected to be delivered beginning in the second half of 2025 through the third quarter of 2026 for an aggregate cost of approximately $359 million, which will be paid for through a combination of long-term financing and available liquidity.

Further building on our liquidity enhancing, deleveraging and financing diversification initiatives, we executed the following transactions:

●

On April 18, 2024, we prepaid the $20.3 million outstanding principal balance under the ING Credit Facility.

●

On April 26, 2024, we entered into an agreement to amend and extend our existing $750 Million Credit Facility, under which the Company had a remaining term loan balance of $94.6 million and undrawn revolver capacity of $257.4 million at March 31, 2024. The new agreement consists of a $500 million revolving credit facility (the “$500 Million Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures in January 2030. Under the terms of the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility, capacity is reduced on a quarterly basis by approximately $12.8 million each quarter, based on a 20-year age-adjusted profile of the collateral vessels. The $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility bears an interest rate based on term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin (each as defined in the credit agreement). The Applicable Margin is 1.85% and is subject to similar sustainability-linked features as included in the $750 Million Credit Facility, that are aimed at reducing the carbon footprint, targeting expenditures toward energy efficiency improvements and maintaining a safety record above the industry average. The Company’s performance against these sustainability measures could impact the margin by five basis points. At the time of closing, after $94.6 million was drawn on the new revolver, our overall undrawn revolver capacity increased by $148 million to $559.4 million. As of September 30, 2024, the undrawn revolver capacity under this facility was $392.6 million.

By entering into the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility we have (i) eliminated $19.5 million in mandatory quarterly debt repayments since the balance drawn on closing is not required to be repaid until Maturity, (ii) reduced cash break evens by over $3,000 per day, (iii) extended the maturity profile of the facility from 2027 to 2030, and (iv) reduced future interest expense through a margin reduction of over 85 basis points.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has contractual commitments for the construction of six dual-fuel ready LR1s, and the purchase and installation of one ballast water treatment system and seven mewis ducts, the final outstanding installment payments due for three ballast water treatment systems that were installed prior to September 30, 2024, and purchase and installation of various performance efficiency devices for the fleet. The Company’s debt service commitments and aggregate purchase commitments for vessel construction and betterments as of September 30, 2024, are presented in the Aggregate Contractual Obligations Table below.

Outlook

Our strong balance sheet, as evidenced by a substantial level of liquidity, 34 unencumbered vessels (excluding the six LR1s under construction) as of September 30, 2024, and diversified financing sources with debt maturities spread out between 2030 and 2031, positions us to support our operations over the next twelve months as we continue to advance our vessel employment strategy, which seeks to achieve an optimal mix of spot (voyage charter) and long-term (time charter) charters. Our balance sheet strength and balanced fleet position us to continue pursuing our disciplined capital allocation strategy of fleet renewal, incremental debt reduction and returns to shareholders and pursue potential strategic opportunities that may arise within the diverse sectors in which we operate.

Risk Management:

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which could impact its results of operations and financial condition. The Company manages this exposure to market risk through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. To manage its interest rate risk exposure associated with changes in variable interest rate payments due on its credit facilities in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time-to-time, enters into interest rate swap, collar or cap agreements, in which it agrees to exchange various combinations of fixed and variable

INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC.

interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts or to receive payments if floating interest rates rise above a specified cap rate. The Company uses such derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage exposure to nonperformance on such instruments by the counterparties.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
