Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 14, 2006, Maritrans Inc. issued a press release reporting its annual and fourth quarter 2005 financial results. The press release is being furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated herein by reference. This report (including the exhibit) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Registrant pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other than to the extent that such filing incorporates by reference any or all of such information by express reference thereto.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement its financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company’s management uses the financial measure of Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”), a commonly used industry measure where direct cots are deducted from revenue. Maritrans enters into various types of charters, some of which involve the customer paying substantially all voyage costs, while other types of charters involve Maritrans paying some or substantially all of the voyage costs. The Company has presented TCE in the press release to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the way management analyzes the Company’s financial performance. Specifically, the Company’s management used the presentation of TCE revenue to allow for a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because TCE revenue essentially nets the voyage costs and voyage revenue to yield a measure that is comparable between periods regardless of the types of contracts utilized. These voyage costs are included in the “Operations expense” line item in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Highlights. TCE revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of TCE revenue to revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in the press release. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

          TAMPA, FL — February 14, 2006 — Maritrans Inc. (NYSE: TUG), a leading U.S. flag marine petroleum transport company, today announced its fourth quarter and annual financial results and declared its quarterly dividend.
          Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was $3.0 million, or $0.32 diluted earnings per share, on revenues of $45.9 million. This compares with net income of $1.4 million, or $0.17 diluted earnings per share, on revenues of $40.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was $4.2 million compared to $3.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. The increase in operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was due to the continued strength in the Company’s geographic markets, which was partially offset by lower utilization as detailed below. During the quarter, the Company continued to earn strong average daily rates on vessels that it had in the clean product spot market. Additionally, the Company obtained increases in rates on its renewed contracts, which led to higher contract revenue despite the Company having fewer vessels on charter compared to the fourth quarter of 2004. Demand by the Company’s Delaware River refinery customers for the Company’s crude-oil lightering services remained firm, though not quite as high as during the prior three quarters in 2005. Barrels delivered to crude-oil lightering customers during the fourth quarter were down approximately 7% from the average delivered during the first three quarters of 2005.
          Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $19.9 million, or $2.28 diluted earnings per share, on revenues of $180.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company reported net income of $9.8 million, or $1.16 diluted earnings per share, on revenues of $149.7 million. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $26.6 million compared to $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
###

 


 

          On a Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) basis, a commonly used industry measure where direct voyage costs are deducted from voyage revenue, TCE revenue was $33.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 compared to $30.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $2.9 million, or 9.5%. TCE revenue was $137.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $119.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $17.9 million, or 15%. TCE revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of TCE revenue to revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP is attached here to.
          During the fourth quarter, the Company experienced lower overall utilization than in the fourth quarter of 2004. Utilization for the fourth quarter of 2005 was 77.1% compared to 79.1% in the fourth quarter of 2004 and 83.8% in the third quarter of 2005 due primarily to increased out of service time related to scheduled shipyarding. In the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company experienced 193 days out of service for vessel maintenance and capital projects. This compares to out of service time for maintenance and capital projects of 145 days in the first quarter of 2005, 154 days in the second quarter of 2005 and 123 days in the third quarter of 2005. The Company expects to have at least 72 days of out of service during the first quarter of 2006, which includes 8 days for scheduled maintenance and 64 days to begin the double-hulling of the M 210 but does not include any unscheduled out of service time. Additionally, the Company lost approximately 9 revenue days related to the Valour incident discussed below. Vessel utilization for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 81.1% compared to 80.7% for the year ended December 31, 2004. Operating expenses increased to $41.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 from $37.1 million in fourth quarter of 2004 primarily because of increases in fuel, port and crew expenses, as well as the addition of the charter expense for the M/V Seabrook. Operating expenses increased to $154.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 from $135.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2004 for the same reasons.
          Jonathan Whitworth, Chief Executive Officer of Maritrans commented,“2005 was a year of significant achievement for Maritrans. We are pleased to have recorded our highest full-year operating income, net income and earnings per share since becoming a public company while at the same time making important progress implementing our growth strategy. Just as our past decisions to proactively build an OPA-compliant fleet and refine our deployment strategy enabled us to fully take advantage of a strong rate environment in 2005, we believe that the strategic moves we have taken this year will benefit our stockholders in the future. Following the completion of the building of three new articulated tug-barge units, Maritrans will become one of the largest tug and barge coastwise operators in our vessel size range, further enhancing our leadership in the Jones Act coastwise trade. Our success at implementing strategic initiatives such as re-entering the Northeast market and entering an alternative trade for the single-hull tanker ALLEGIANCE will also serve the Company well as we strive to achieve growth in both the near and long-term.”
FLEET AND MARKET REPORT
          Maritrans operates a fleet of oil tankers and oceangoing married tug/barge units. During 2005 the Company continued to deploy more of its fleet in the spot market than it had historically in an effort to take advantage of the higher spot rate environment.
          The stronger spot market in 2005 was driven primarily by the combination of increased demand for the Company’s transportation services and reduced supply of Jones Act vessels. The overall spot market rates increased approximately 40% compared to 2004. The Company intends to maintain similar spot market exposure in 2006 to that of 2005. The Company believes that spot market rates will be at the same or higher levels during 2006 compared to 2005 as a result of increased product demand in the markets the Company serves and the reduced supply of Jones Act vessels. During the first half of 2006, however, the Company expects that the demand for its services will be affected by the reduced supply of refined products from
###

 


 

the Gulf refineries. This is primarily due to the continuing outages of a number of refineries caused by the 2005 hurricane season, the anticipated refinery shutdowns for maintenance and the refineries requirements to prepare for the new ultra low sulfur diesel specifications that are scheduled to take effect in the second quarter.
          During 2005, the Company made the following changes to its fleet:
    In April, the Company announced the re-deployment of the double-hull barge M192 from its existing clean products route along the Gulf Coast to the Northeast residual oil market. The M192 entered into an 18-month time charter with Sunoco Inc. (R&M), which commenced in December following a stint in the Company’s lightering business in the second half of 2005.
 
    In August, the Company announced that it had entered into a three year agreement with Seabrook Carriers Inc. to time charter the M/V Seabrook, a single-hull oil tanker with a carrying capacity of 224,000 barrels. The M/V Seabrook entered Maritrans’ service in November and was deployed into the Company’s clean products trade. The Company entered into a manning agreement to provide the crewing for the vessel and continues to integrate the vessel into the clean oil market that the Company serves. Although the vessel has not yet achieved the utilization levels of the Company’s other spot market vessels, the Company believes that this is mostly due to lower product movement demands resulting from the continuing Gulf of Mexico refinery outages as described above.
 
    In September, the Company announced that it signed a contract with Bender Shipbuilding & Repair Co., Inc. to build three new articulated tug-barge (ATB) units, each having a carrying capacity of 335,000 barrels. Each barge will be connected to a 12,000 horsepower tugboat utilizing the latest version of the Intercon connection system. The Company also announced that the new ATB’s will be utilized to help fulfill the long-term volume contract for lightering services that the Company signed with Sunoco Inc. (R&M).
 
    In October, Maritrans announced that it signed a grain cargo voyage for its tanker ALLEGIANCE, a single-hull tanker that, in accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, was removed from petroleum transportation service as of December 2005. The Company expects that it will continue to charter this vessel in non-oil alternative cargo voyages.
DOUBLE-HULL REBUILDING PROGRAM
          Since 1998, Maritrans has been actively engaged in a double-hull rebuilding program aimed at ensuring that the Company’s Jones Act fleet is compliant with the U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA”). Maritrans’ patented barge rebuilding process enables the Company to convert its vessels for significantly less cost than building new vessels.
          During 2005 Maritrans continued to successfully implement its rebuilding program. In June, the Company took delivery of the M209, which is the sixth double-hull barge that the Company has rebuilt using its patented barge rebuilding process. The rebuild included the insertion of a midbody, which increased the vessel’s cargo carrying capacity by approximately 30,000 barrels. The rebuilding of the M209 and the tug boat Enterprise cost approximately $27.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The M209 received a CAP1 rating from the American Bureau of Shipping which indicates that the barge meets the standards of a newly built vessel.
          In July, the Company awarded contracts to rebuild the M 210 and the OCEAN 211 to double-hull configurations. These will be the Company’s seventh and eighth single-hull barges to be rebuilt to double-hull configurations. The rebuild of the M210, which commenced its rebuilding process on January 26, 2006, is expected to have a total cost of approximately $30 million, of which $24 million is a fixed contract with the shipyard and the remainder of the equipment is to be furnished by the Company. The rebuild of the OCEAN 211 is also expected to have a total cost of approximately $30 million, of which $23 million is a fixed contract with the shipyard and the remainder of the equipment is to be furnished by the Company. The rebuilds of the M 210

and OCEAN 211 will also include the insertions of mid-bodies that will increase each of their capacity by approximately 38,000 barrels, or 17%. The rebuilds of the M 210 and the OCEAN 211 are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2006 and the second quarter of 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, $10.3 million and $2.6 million had been spent on these rebuilds, respectively. Upon completion of their double-hulling, and reflecting their larger carrying capacities, the M 210 and OCEAN 211 will be renamed the M 242 and M 243, respectively.
TUG BOAT INCIDENT
          On January 18, 2006, the Company’s sea-going tug, VALOUR, sank off the coast of Cape Fear, North Carolina. Three crew members lost their lives in the incident. At the time of the incident, the VALOUR was transporting the tank barge M 192, a double-hull petroleum barge. Following an evaluation by the US Coast Guard, which concluded that there was no damage to the M 192 and there was no loss of cargo from the tank barge, the vessel was cleared to return to service and discharge her cargo. When the barge M210 entered the shipyard for her double-hull rebuilding, her married tugboat Columbia was available to work, and the Company has utilized this tugboat to temporarily fill the tugboat shortage caused by the loss of the VALOUR. The Company is currently evaluating mid-term and long-term tugboat replacement scenarios. The Company continues to work with the U.S. Coast Guard on the investigation into the cause of the incident. The VALOUR is covered by the Company’s hull insurance policy and costs of the incident are covered by protection and indemnity insurance carried by the Company. Hull insurance proceeds of approximately $4 million, which exceed the carrying value of the tugboat of approximately $1.1 million, are expected to be received in the first quarter of 2006.
          Mr. Whitworth commented, “The entire Maritrans family has been deeply saddened by the loss of these fine seamen, and we continue to keep their families as well as the surviving crewmembers in our thoughts and prayers.”
SALE OF COMMON STOCK
          In December, Maritrans announced that it entered into an agreement to sell 3 million shares of its common stock in a registered offering off of its shelf registration statement. The Company also sold an additional 450,000 shares of its common stock upon the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. The Company received proceeds of approximately $84.5 million from the sale, net of underwriting fees and commissions and other expenses related to the transaction.
          Mr. Whitworth concluded, “We intend to build upon the progress we made in 2005 to further solidify our leadership in our core markets and expand into related businesses as we continue to seek to deliver strong results to our stockholders, employees and customers. At the same time we will continue to execute our double-hull rebuilding program, which will enable us to receive our seventh rebuilt vessel in the third quarter of 2006. We recently completed our equity offering and extended and increased our revolving credit facility, and therefore believe we are well positioned to pursue future growth opportunities for the benefit of the Company and our stockholders. In seeking such opportunities, we will continue to focus on profitable initiatives that meet strict return requirements.”
DIVIDEND
          Maritrans’ Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on March 15, 2006, to stockholders of record on March 1, 2006. The ex-dividend date will be February 27, 2006.
