Fourth Quarter of 2023 Compared to Third Quarter of 2023
GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher average spot tanker rates. GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2023 included a $10.4 million gain from the sale of one vessel, while the third quarter of 2023 included a $5.8 million reversal of income tax accruals.
Fourth Quarter of 2023 Compared to Fourth Quarter of 2022
GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower average spot tanker rates and a higher number of scheduled dry dockings, partially offset by lower net interest expense resulting from lower overall finance lease obligation balances and higher interest income, as well as the commencement of four charter-in contracts between the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. In addition, GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2023 included a $10.4 million gain from the sale of one vessel.
CEO Commentary
“Firm oil demand, increased tonne-miles due to the Russia - Ukraine War, record export volumes from the U.S. Gulf, and low fleet growth laid the foundation for a very strong tanker market throughout 2023, while seasonal factors and geopolitical tension added to rate volatility,” commented Kevin Mackay, Teekay Tankers’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “With our fleet of mid-size vessels almost exclusively trading in the spot market, Teekay Tankers achieved our best financial results in the Company’s history. By remaining disciplined and focusing our efforts on reducing debt levels and building financial strength, we have materially enhanced Teekay Tankers’ strategic optionality and ability to continue creating shareholder value moving forward."
"In the fourth quarter of 2023, export volumes from key load regions increased in order to meet refining demand, and the combination of typical winter seasonality and restrictions in both the Panama and Suez canals have kept spot charter rates elevated. We took the opportunity afforded by the strong tanker market to agree to the sale of our two oldest vessels for $46.5 million, which resulted in a combined gain on sale of approximately $21.9 million. Looking ahead, we turn our attention to unwinding our last remaining sale-leaseback arrangements, after which Teekay Tankers will be debt free."
"Our spot market exposure and fleet of mid-size tankers position Teekay Tankers to continue generating strong cash flow, particularly as tonne-mile demand growth is forecasted to outpace fleet supply growth in the coming years. We intend to maintain our discipline and long-term orientation in capital allocation, prioritizing the retention of capital for future fleet reinvestment while also continuing to return capital to shareholders."
Summary of Recent Events
In December 2023, Teekay Tankers agreed to sell two 2004-built Aframax vessels for gross proceeds of $46.5 million. One vessel sale completed in December 2023 which resulted in a gain on sale of $10.4 million. The other vessel sale completed in February 2024 which is expected to result in a gain on sale of approximately $11.5 million during the first quarter of 2024.
In January 2024, the Company gave notice to exercise purchase options on eight vessels under sale-leaseback arrangements for a total purchase price of $137 million. The vessels are expected to be repurchased with cash balances in March 2024 and will then be unencumbered. The Company is expected to be debt free after the vessels are repurchased.
The Company's board of directors declared a fixed quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.25 per outstanding share of common stock for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2024 to all of Teekay Tankers' shareholders of record on March 4, 2024.
Tanker Market
Mid-size crude tanker spot rates increased during the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in crude oil exports from key load regions in both OPEC+ and non-OPEC+ countries, including record high crude oil exports from the U.S. Gulf, coupled with seasonal weather delays. Spot tanker rates have remained firm at the start of 2024 as seasonal factors continue to support rates, while instability in the Red Sea region due to attacks on merchant ships has led to an increase in tonne-mile demand as owners and charterers look to reroute vessels on longer haul voyages in order to avoid the affected region.
The outlook for the global economy is improving, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently increasing its forecast for global GDP growth in 2024 from 2.9% to 3.1%, with further growth of 3.2% expected in 2025. The prospect of a hard landing for the global economy may be receding as inflation starts to fall across the globe, though downside risks remain. The outlook for global oil demand also remains positive, with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasting growth of 1.4 million barrels per day (mb/d) in 2024 and a further 1.3 mb/d in 2025.
The majority of oil supply growth in 2024 is expected to come from non-OPEC+ countries in the Atlantic Basin, led by the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Guyana. Given that oil demand growth is expected to be focused on the Asia-Pacific region in 2024, there could be an increase in Atlantic-to-Pacific crude oil movements, which may be beneficial for tanker tonne-mile demand. However, supply cuts from the OPEC+ group, which were announced in November 2023, and which came into effect in January 2024, may lead to reduced export volumes, particularly from the Middle East, which could weigh on tanker demand in the near term.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to impact mid-size tanker tonne-miles, with the vast majority of Russian crude oil exports now heading long-haul to India and China, and the Company expects this situation to persist over the medium term. In addition, growing instability in the Middle East has increasingly impacted shipping markets since December 2023 in the form of attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea. This is a dynamic situation, but for the time being we expect that many ship owners and charterers will look to avoid the region and seek alternate routes that inevitably involve longer voyages. For many vessels, this means sailing around the Cape of Good Hope, adding a significant number of voyage days and creating additional tanker tonne-mile demand. For example, a Suezmax voyage from Basra, Iraq to the Mediterranean is around 4,000 nautical miles via the Suez Canal compared to around 12,000 nautical miles via the Cape of Good Hope. While it is impossible to predict how this situation will evolve in the future, the rerouting of cargos may continue to create additional tanker demand in the near term.
Tanker fleet supply fundamentals continue to look very positive. This is especially true for 2024 with just 9 million deadweight tons (mdwt) scheduled to be delivered this year, the lowest annual total since 1997. The tanker
orderbook as a whole remains low compared to the 20-year average at around 7% of the existing fleet size, while forward orderbook cover at global shipyards stands at 3.5 years, meaning there is little spare shipyard capacity until 2027. The combination of a low orderbook, an aging tanker fleet, and a lack of shipyard capacity until 2027 should lead to very low levels of tanker fleet growth over the next three years including virtually no fleet growth in 2024.
In summary, the Company expects that a combination of robust tanker demand growth and very positive fleet supply fundamentals will continue to lay the foundation for a strong spot tanker market over the next two to three years. Geopolitical instability in various regions of the world, and the subsequent rerouting of tankers on longer haul voyages, may add to spot tanker rate volatility.

(1) Net revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to "Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a definition of this term and Appendix C to this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure as used in this release to the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP.
(2) Revenue days are the total number of calendar days the Company's vessels were in its possession during a period, less the total number of off-hire days during the period associated with major repairs or modifications, dry dockings or special or intermediate surveys. Consequently, revenue days represent the total number of days available for the vessel to earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when the vessel is available to earn revenue but is not employed, are included in revenue days.
(3) Includes Suezmax vessels trading in the Teekay Suezmax RSA and non-RSA voyage charters.
(4) Includes Aframax and LR2 vessels trading in the Teekay Aframax RSA, non-RSA voyage charters and full service lightering voyages.

(1) Includes one Suezmax tanker with a charter-in contract that is scheduled to expire in June 2027 with an option to extend for one additional year.
(2) Excludes one Aframax / LR2 tanker which was sold and delivered to its buyer in February 2024.
(3) Includes seven Aframax / LR2 tankers with charter-in contracts that are scheduled to expire in July 2024, August 2024, November 2024, March 2025, February 2026, and January 2030, three of which have options to extend for one additional year, and one of which has options to extend for up to three years.
(4) The Company’s ownership interest in this vessel is 50 percent.
Liquidity Update
As at December 31, 2023, the Company had total liquidity of $687.1 million (comprised of $365.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $321.8 million in undrawn capacity from its credit facility), compared to total liquidity of $511.5 million as at September 30, 2023. The increase of $175.6 million in liquidity compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to positive net operating cash flow, an increase in the borrowing capacity of our revolving credit facility, and net proceeds received from the sale of one Aframax / LR2 vessel, partially offset by cash dividends paid on our common shares.

Definitions and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These non-GAAP financial measures, which include Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Revenues, are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered substitutes for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures do not have standardized definitions across companies, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are used by management, and the Company believes that these supplemental metrics assist investors and other users of its financial reports in comparing financial and operating performance of the Company across reporting periods and with other companies.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income excludes certain items of income or loss from GAAP net income that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of the Company’s financial results. The Company believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s financial performance, as does management. Please refer to Appendix A of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA (i.e. net income before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization) adjusted to exclude certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated in advance or that are not considered representative of core operating performance. Such adjustments include foreign exchange gains and losses, write-downs of assets, gains and losses on sale of assets, unrealized credit loss adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, realized gains or losses on derivative instruments resulting from amendments or terminations of the underlying instruments, equity income or loss from unconsolidated joint ventures and any write-offs and certain other income or expenses. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps (as management, in assessing the Company's performance, views these gains or losses as an element of interest expense). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors and management to measure the operational performance of companies. Please refer to Appendix B of this release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Net revenues represents income from operations before vessel operating expenses, time-charter hire expenses, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, gain or loss on sale and write-down of assets, and restructuring charges. Since the amount of voyage expenses the Company incurs for a particular charter depends on the type of the charter, the Company includes these costs in net revenues to improve the comparability between periods of reported revenues that are generated by the different types of charters and contracts. The Company principally uses net revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure, because the Company believes it provides more meaningful information about the deployment of the Company's vessels and their performance than does income from operations, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP. Please refer to Appendix C of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to income from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
