TANKER INVESTMENTS LTD. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL 2016 RESULTS

Hamilton, Bermuda, February 23, 2017 - Tanker Investments Ltd. (Tanker Investments, TIL or the Company) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

Highlights:
  • Reported net income of USD 2.7 million, or USD 0.09 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2016.

  • Generated cash flow from vessel operations (CFVO1) of USD 16.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to USD 10.2 million in the previous quarter.

  • Secured a 1-year time-charter of the Aframax tanker, the Tarbet Spirit, at a gross rate of USD 17,000 per day which commenced in February 2017.

  • As of December 31, 2016, the Company had total liquidity of approximately USD 110 million.

"Tanker Investments was well-positioned to take advantage of the seasonally strong tanker market in the fourth quarter of 2016, resulting in over USD 16.6 million of cash flow from vessel operations, and USD

0.09 per share of net income," commented William Hung, Tanker Investments Limited's CEO. Mr. Hung continued, "Also during the fourth quarter, we were able to lock-away another vessel on a 1-year time- charter at a rate of USD 17,000 per day, and we intend to look for additional time-charter opportunities."

"Looking ahead to 2017, we expect tanker rates could be challenged driven by OPEC oil production cutbacks and increased shipyard deliveries of newbuildings, partially offset by new, longer-haul routes for mid-size tankers transporting Atlantic basin volumes to Asian buyers," commented Mr. Hung. "With a strong financial position, including liquidity of approximately USD 110 million, and a young, modern fleet we believe Tanker Investments is one of the best positioned tanker companies for investors to benefit from the tanker market recovery we expect to occur in 2018."

1 Cash flow from vessel operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to "Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the Appendices to this release for a definition of the term and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure as used in this release to the most directly comparable financial measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP).

    Financial Review of the Three Months and Year Ended December 2016

    During the fourth quarter of 2016, total revenues decreased to USD 32.5 million from USD 70.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. This decrease is primarily due to lower spot tanker rates earned across the fleet in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the effects of the sale of the Hemsedal Spirit and Voss Spirit in the first quarter of 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2016, total revenues decreased to USD 152.6 million from USD 210.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, due primarily to lower spot tanker rates earned across the fleet in 2016. The decrease is partially offset by the larger average fleet size in operation and fewer off-hire days from vessel dry-docking in 2016.

    CFVO was USD 16.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2016, which decreased from USD 45.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily due to lower revenue earned on the Company's fleet, as described above. CFVO was USD 86.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 which decreased from USD 133.1 million for the same period in 2015.

    Total interest expense was USD 4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to USD 6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. This decrease is mainly due to lower average debt balances in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Total interest expense was USD 19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to USD 22.3 million for the same period in 2015.

    Tanker Investments reported net income of USD 2.7 million, or USD 0.09 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to net income of USD 28.5 million, or USD 0.79 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net income was USD 31.1 million, or USD 1.01 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to net income of USD 75.8 million, or USD 2.07 per share, for the corresponding period in 2015.

    Tanker Market Outlook

    Tanker rates in 2016 softened from the highs seen in 2015, yet remained in-line with the ten-year average as a result of ongoing positive demand fundamentals. Global oil demand remained strong in 2016 with growth of 1.5 million barrels per day (mb/d), which was 0.4 mb/d higher than the ten-year average. Global oil supply was also strong, with record high OPEC production for 2016 of 32.6 mb/d. However, unexpected supply outages in Nigeria put pressure on mid-sized tanker demand in mid-2016. Oil prices remained in the mid-$40 per barrel range for most of 2016 before increasing in December 2016 as OPEC firmed plans for production cuts as a means to rebalance oil markets. While ongoing low prices throughout the year provided some support for tonne-mile demand through strategic and commercial stockpiling programs, record high onshore stock levels towards the second half of 2016 resulted in lower import requirements as refiners struggled with stockpile levels. Tanker fleet growth also created some downside pressure to tanker rates towards the second half of 2016 as crude tanker fleet growth reached 6% and scrapping dipped to the lowest level since 1995.

    Crude tanker rates strengthened in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to expected seasonal factors, and reached a seasonal high in December 2016, as global refinery throughput, increased exports out of Nigeria, Libya, and Baltic / Black Sea ports, and winter weather delays provided support for tanker rates. Mid-sized crude tanker rates, in particular, found support from weather delays through the Turkish Straits along with increasing exports out of the U.S. Gulf. Record high Middle East OPEC crude production, averaging 25.6 mb/d in the fourth quarter of 2016, also provided a boost for crude tanker tonne-mile demand.

    Strength in spot tanker rates continued into the first quarter of 2017 and resulted in significantly higher crude spot tanker rates for the first quarter of 2017 to date compared to the fourth quarter of 2016; however, crude spot tanker rates have recently started to soften due to a number of factors, including:

    • Heavy refinery maintenance programs in the U.S. Gulf through the first quarter of 2017, and a heavy spring maintenance period expected in Asia;

    • Fewer weather-related delays in key transit areas, including the Turkish Straits;

    • Firming oil prices which have increased bunker fuel costs for shipowners and prompted crude inventory drawdowns; and

    • Higher tanker fleet growth: six Suezmax tankers and nine Aframax tankers have delivered in 2017 to-date (compared to one and nine in 2016, respectively)

Looking ahead, the Company anticipates 2017 to present some headwinds to the crude tanker spot tanker market. Fleet growth is forecast to be approximately 4.5%, which is slightly lower than 2016 but in-line with the ten-year average. However, most fleet growth in 2017 will come from the mid-sized segments, with mid-size fleet growth expected to be approximately 5%. The outlook for 2018 is more positive given a lack of ordering and the expectation for increased scrapping due to an aging fleet and changes to the regulatory landscape.

Global oil demand is forecast to grow by 1.4 mb/d in 2017 (average of IEA, EIA, and OPEC forecasts), which is similar to 2016 and above the ten-year average growth rate of 1.1 mb/d. On the supply side, OPEC production cuts of approximately 1.2 mb/d, with the majority of cuts (approximately 0.8 mb/d) coming from Middle East OPEC producers, will be negative for overall crude volumes available for transport. While OPEC production cuts may continue through the year, non-OPEC production increases of approximately

  1. mb/d are expected as firming oil prices encourage more drilling, particularly in the U.S. The result could benefit the mid-sized tanker segments from increased tonne-mile demand as oil supply in the Atlantic basin continues to grow. In addition, the Brent - Dubai spread has narrowed considerably as a result of OPEC cuts, and many crude buyers are sourcing Brent-benchmarked crudes as they become more economically attractive. These price / supply factors could offset some of the headwinds that face the crude tanker market in 2017 as they have the potential to introduce volatility into regional tanker demand, which is positive for spot tanker rates.

    In summary, the Company anticipates that 2017 will present some headwinds to crude tanker rates due to cuts to OPEC production, rising oil prices, and fleet growth. However, the Company believes that this dip in the current market cycle will be relatively short and shallow. In addition, lower fleet growth, strong oil demand growth, particularly in Asia, and a potential increase in long-haul movements from the Atlantic basin to the Pacific basin is expected to provide support towards the next market upturn.

TANKER INVESTMENTS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
  1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

    On January 10, 2014, Teekay Corporation (or Teekay) and Teekay Tankers Ltd. (or Teekay Tankers) formed Tanker Investments Ltd., under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Tanker Investments Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively the Company) engage in the ownership and operation of crude oil tankers. The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year-end. At December 31, 2016, the Company's fleet included 18 vessels (December 31, 2015 - 20 vessels).

    These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's unaudited consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the period presented. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had two revolving credit facilities available, which, as at such date, provided for borrowings of up to a maximum of $311.7 million (December 31, 2015 - $373.6 million), of which $236.9 million was drawn (December 31, 2015 - $348.6 million available and fully drawn). Interest payments are based on LIBOR plus margins. At December 31, 2016, the margin was 3.38% (December 31, 2015 - 3.00% respectively). The margin ranges from 2.75% to 3.50%, depending on the fair market value of the vessels provided as collateral relative to the amount drawn on the credit facilities. The two credit facilities are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on 14 (December 31, 2015 - 14) of the Company's vessels. At December 31, 2016, the total amount available under the credit facilities reduces by $36.9 million (2017), $36.9 million (2018), $143.7 million (2019) and $94.2 million (2020). The credit facilities contain a covenant that requires the Company to maintain a free liquidity of not less than the lower of (i) $25.0 million and (ii) $2.0 million per vessel owned as long as the number of vessels owned by the Company is less than 25. If the Company owns 25 or more vessels, the covenant requires the Company to maintain a free liquidity of the aggregate of (i) $25.0 million and (ii) $1.3 million multiplied by the number of vessels owned by the Company in excess of 25. The Company is also required to maintain a minimum capitalization ratio, a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum ratio of net income before interest and certain non-cash items to interest expense and the fair market value of collateral vessels shall be equal to at least 150 percent of the drawn amount under the revolving credit facilities. As at December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all its covenants in respect of these credit facilities.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had one term loan (Term Loan) outstanding with an outstanding balance of $129.2 million (December 31, 2015 - $141.1 million), repayable by 2021. Of this amount, $52.0 million bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 0.50% and the remaining $77.2 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.37% (December 31, 2015 - $54.0 million and $87.1 million, respectively). The loan is collateralized by four of the Company's vessels, together with other related security. In addition, the loan requires Teekay (the Guarantor) to maintain a minimum liquidity (cash and cash equivalents) of at least $100.0 million and an aggregate of free cash and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity of at least 7.5% of Teekay's total consolidated debt which has recourse to Teekay. As at December 31, 2016, Teekay was in compliance with all their covenants in respect of the Term Loan.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a term loan outstanding with an outstanding balance of $96.5 million, repayable by June 30, 2016. The loan along with the related interest costs were repaid in full in the first quarter of 2016. The loan bore interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50% and was collateralized by the two of the Company's vessels which were sold in the first quarter of 2016.

The weighted-average effective interest rate on the Company's long-term debt as at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was 4.11% and 3.42% respectively, excluding the guarantee fee paid to Teekay (see note 6a). The aggregate annual principal repayments required to be made by the Company subsequent to December 31, 2016 are $38.1 million (2017), $39.6 million (2018), $116.3 million (2019), $91.6 million (2020) and $80.5 million (2021).
