“Increasing exposure to weakening spot markets during the just completed quarter weighed on top-line performance”, Sam Norton, OSG’s President and CEO stated. “However, cost discipline helped to mitigate the effects of these developments, and, together with earnings from our shuttle tanker and lightering operations, served to produce healthy cash flows. Progress continues strengthening our balance sheet and, with over $275 million of available liquidity, OSG remains favorably positioned to respond to opportunities in our markets.”
Second Quarter 2017 Results
Shipping revenues were $96.2 million for the quarter, down 18.7% compared with the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in shipping revenues was also driven by lower charter rates. TCE revenues for the second quarter of 2017 were $91.1 million, a decrease of $23.7 million, or 20.6%, compared with the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower average daily rates earned. Shipping revenue for the first half of 2017 were $204.3 million, a decrease of $29.1 million compared to the first half of 2016.TCE revenues for the first half of 2017 were $193.4 million, a decrease of $33.6 million compared to the first half of 2016.
A, B Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release starting on Page 8.
C Reconciliation to total cash is included in the financial tables attached to this press release starting on Page 8.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2017 was $14.2 million, compared to operating income of $23.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease reflected reduced operating expense, including depreciation and amortization expense, and lower general and administrative expenses, which partially offset the decline in shipping revenues. Operating income for the first half of 2017 was $33.5 million, a decrease of $6.9 million compared to the first half of 2016.
Income from continuing operations for the current period second quarter was $3.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $4.2 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, for the second quarter 2016. The increase reflects a lower tax provision in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 2016. In the prior year period, a deferred tax liability on the unremitted earnings of INSW was recorded, resulting in an income tax provision of $15.1 million, compared to tax expense of $1.6 million in the 2017 period. In addition, interest expense decreased by $1.4 million in the current period as the result of significant debt reductions in the current and prior year periods.
Income from continuing operations for the first half of 2017 was $8.6 million compared with a loss from continuing operations of $12.9 million for the first half of 2016. The increase reflects a lower tax provision in the first half of 2017 compared to 2016. In the prior period, a deferred tax liability on the unremitted earnings of INSW was recorded, resulting in an income tax provision of $48.3 million, compared to tax expense of $5.2 million in the 2017 period.
Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was $29.6 million for the quarter, a decrease of $16.4 million or 35.6% compared with the second quarter of 2016, driven primarily by the decline in TCE revenues, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2017 was $65.7 million, a decrease of $21.0 million or 24.2% compared with the first half of 2016.
Discontinued Operations
As previously disclosed, OSG completed the separation of its business into two independent publicly traded companies through the spin-off of its then wholly owned subsidiary INSW on November 30, 2016. The spin-off separated OSG and INSW into two distinct businesses with separate management. OSG retained the U.S. Flag business and INSW holds entities and other assets and liabilities that formed OSG’s former International Flag business. The spin-off transaction was in the form of a pro rata distribution of INSW’s common stock to our stockholders and warrant holders of record as of the close of business on November 18, 2016.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of INSW are reported as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
Net income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $34.0 million and $93.5 million, respectively.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements as defined under the federal securities laws. Words such as “may”, “should”, “believes”, “estimates”, “targets”, “anticipates” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements; however, statements other than statements of historical facts should be considered forward-looking statements. These matters or statements may relate to the Company’s prospects, its ability to retain and effectively integrate new members of management and the effect of the Company’s spin-off of International Seaways, Inc. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current plans, estimates and projections, and are subject to change based on a number of factors. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ: the reduced diversification and heightened exposure to the Jones Act market of OSG’s business following the spin-off from OSG on November 30, 2016 of International Seaways, Inc. (INSW), which owned or leased OSG’s fleet of International Flag vessels, which may make OSG more susceptible to market fluctuations than before such spin-off; the highly cyclical nature of OSG’s industry; fluctuations in the market value of vessels; declines in charter rates, including spot charter rates or other market deterioration; an increase in the supply of vessels without a commensurate increase in demand; the impact of adverse weather and natural disasters; the adequacy of OSG’s insurance to cover its losses, including in connection with maritime accidents or spill events; constraints on capital availability; the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to service its indebtedness and to comply with debt covenants; the Company’s ability to renew its time charters when they expire or to enter into new time charters; competition within the Company’s industry and OSG’s ability to compete effectively for charters; the loss of a large customer; and changes in demand in specialized markets in which the Company currently trades. Investors should also carefully consider the risk factors outlined in more detail in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for OSG and in similar sections of other filings made by the Company with the SEC from time to time. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements and written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Company or its representatives after the date of this release are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this paragraph and in other reports previously or hereafter filed by the Company with the SEC.

Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the following non-GAAP measures may provide certain investors with additional information that will better enable them to evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide supplemental information, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(A) Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) Revenues
Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses TCE revenues, which represents shipping revenues less voyage expenses, as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a long-term time charter. TCE, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with shipping revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Reconciliation of TCE revenues of the segments to shipping revenues as reported in the consolidated statements of operations follow:

(B) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted 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 a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the 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 as a measure of operating results and performance, neither of them 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 consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
