MONACO--(GLOBE NEWSWIRE - April 26, 2017) - Scorpio Tankers Inc. (NYSE: STNG) ("Scorpio Tankers," or the "Company") today reported its results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and declaration of a quarterly dividend.
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company's adjusted net loss (see Non-IFRS Measures section below) was $11.5 million, or $0.07 basic and diluted loss per share, which excludes a $0.1 million, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, write-off of deferred financing fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $11.5 million, or $0.07 basic and diluted loss per share.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company's adjusted net income was $30.5 million (see Non-IFRS Measures section below), or $0.19 basic and $0.18 diluted earnings per share, which excludes (i) a $2.2 million loss on sales of vessels and write-down of vessels held for sale, (ii) a $1.8 million write-off of deferred financing fees, (iii) a $1.0 million unrealized gain on derivative financial instruments and (iv) a $0.6 million gain recorded on the repurchase of $5.0 million face value of the Company's Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Convertible Notes"). The adjustments aggregated to an increase of the Company's net income by $2.4 million or $0.02 basic and $0.01 diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had net income of $28.0 million, or $0.17 basic and diluted earnings per share.
Declaration of Dividend
On April 26, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on or about June 14, 2017 to all shareholders as of May 11, 2017 (the record date). As of April 26, 2017, there were 174,629,755 shares outstanding.
Diluted Weighted Number of Shares
Diluted earnings per share is determined using the if-converted method. Under this method, the Company assumes that the Convertible Notes (which were issued in June 2014) are converted into common shares at the beginning of each period and the interest and non-cash amortization expense associated with these notes of $5.5 million and $5.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively are not incurred. Conversion is not assumed if the results of this calculation are anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company's basic weighted average number of shares was 162,711,256. The weighted average number of shares, both diluted and under the if-converted method, were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as the Company incurred a net loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company's basic weighted average number of shares was 160,471,857. The Company’s diluted weighted average number of shares was 165,680,353 excluding the impact of the Convertible Notes and 197,620,040 under the if-converted method (assuming the Convertible Notes are converted into common shares). Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 does not consider the effect of the Convertible Notes as the if-converted method was anti-dilutive. Adjusted earnings per share (see Non-IFRS Measures section below) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was calculated using the if-converted method as the effect of which was dilutive. As of the date hereof, the Convertible Notes are not eligible for conversion.

Explanation of Variances on the First Quarter of 2017 Financial Results Compared to the First Quarter of 2016
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded a net loss of $11.5 million compared to net income of $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The following were the significant changes between the two periods:
Time charter equivalent, or TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management. The following table depicts TCE revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

TCE revenue decreased $44.5 million to $120.3 million from $164.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease was driven by a decrease in overall time charter equivalent revenue per day to $14,408 per day from $20,203 per day for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively (see the breakdown of daily TCE below). TCE revenue per day decreased across all of our operating segments as unfavorable market conditions that developed during the second half of 2016, driven by the delivery of newbuildings, high product inventories, low refining margins and a lack of arbitrage opportunities, persisted into the first quarter of 2017.
Vessel operating costs increased $0.1 million to $48.1 million from $48.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This increase was the result of an increase in the average number of owned and bareboat chartered-in vessels to 80.6 vessels from 79.8 vessels for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This increase was partially offset by an overall decrease in vessel operating costs per day to $6,519 per day from $6,612 per day for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively which was driven by improvements in our LR2 and MR operating segments (see the breakdown of daily vessel operating costs below).
Charterhire expense increased $3.8 million to $19.4 million from $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in the Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet to an average of 15.6 vessels from an average of 10.3 vessels for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Depreciation expense increased $0.3 million to $30.5 million from $30.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by the delivery of four LR2 tankers (two in 2016, and two during the three months ended March 31, 2017), offset by the sales of five MR tankers during the first and second quarters of 2016.
General and administrative expenses decreased $5.1 million to $11.9 million from $17.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease was primarily driven by reductions in compensation expense (which includes a reduction in restricted stock amortization).
Financial expenses decreased $3.6 million to $21.7 million from $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense as average debt outstanding decreased to $1.9 billion from $2.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Additionally, financial expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes a $1.8 million write-off of deferred financing fees, whereas a $0.1 million write-off of deferred financing fees was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments relate to the profit or loss agreement on one of the Company’s time chartered-in vessels with a third party who neither owns nor operates the vessel. This agreement was settled in January 2017.

(1) The dilutive effect of (i) unvested shares of restricted stock and (ii) the potentially dilutive securities relating to our Convertible Notes were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Weighted average shares under the if-converted method (which includes the potential dilutive effect of both the unvested shares of restricted stock and our Convertible Notes) were 201,397,805 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

See Non-IFRS Measures section below.
(2)
Freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry in terms of time charter equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges, from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time charter equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the period. Revenue days are the number of days the vessel is owned less the number of days the vessel is off-hire for drydock and repairs.
(3)
Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs divided by the number of days the vessel is owned during the period.
(4)
Handymax TCE per day and vessel operating costs per day for 2017 include the activity of seven bareboat chartered-in Handymax vessels (as described in the Fleet List below). These vessels operated in the spot market prior to their entrance into the Scorpio Handymax Tanker pool. TCE per day and vessel operating costs per day for our Handymax operating segment, excluding the activity of these vessels were $15,131 per day and $6,581 per day, respectively.

Non-IFRS Measures
Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS Financial Information
This press release describes adjusted net income or loss and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS (i.e. "Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors with a means of evaluating and understanding how the Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance. These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because they facilitate the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the Company believes that adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s definitions of adjusted net income or loss with the adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," "expect," "pending" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. We undertake no obligation, and specifically decline any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for our vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other factors. Please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
