TEEKAY TANKERS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. Dollars, other than share or per share data)

1.Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (or unaudited consolidated financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP). These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teekay Tankers Ltd., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and equity-accounted joint venture (collectively, the Company). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or the SEC) on March 15, 2024. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in equity for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

As of January 1, 2024, the European Union (or EU) expanded the existing European Union Emissions Trading System (or EU ETS) to the maritime industry. Under the EU ETS requirements, the Company acquires EU allowances (or EUAs) related to greenhouse gas emissions from its vessels and those third-party vessels subject to revenue sharing agreements (or RSAs) that trade to, from, and within the EU and European Economic Area. These EUAs are recorded as intangible assets in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2024 (see note 4). The Company classifies these EUAs as indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not subject to amortization, and they are evaluated for impairment annually and whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the value of the assets may be impaired. In addition, the Company has recorded an obligation related to its emissions level for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as part of other long-term liabilities in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2024 (see note 7) and voyage expenses in the unaudited consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The measurement of both the other long-term liability and voyage expenses is determined on a first-in, first-out method based on the cost of the EUAs that are acquired by the Company. If the Company has insufficient EUAs to cover emissions of its vessels and third-party vessels subject to RSAs, an accrual representing the difference between the total emissions liability and the carrying value of the EUAs held will be recorded based on the fair market value of an EUA that is traded on a regulated energy exchange at the end of the reporting period. The Company is required to surrender EUAs through its Union Registry account in September 2025 to cover its vessels' annual emissions for the year ending December 31, 2024.
2.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (or ASU 2023-07). ASU 2023-07 introduced updates for how significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment are disclosed. A significant segment expense is defined as an expense that is:
a.Significant to the segment,
b.Regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, and
c.Included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss.

This additional disclosure for segmented reporting is intended to provide additional information to financial statement users as now expenses such as direct expenses, shared expenses, allocated corporate overhead, or significant interest expense need to be disaggregated and reported separately for each segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, a public entity will adopt the ASU as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company will adopt this standard starting with its annual financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (or ASU 2023-09), which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. This additional disclosure is intended to provide additional information and transparency of income tax disclosures by providing consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standard in its annual period beginning fiscal year 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

3.    Revenue
The Company’s primary source of revenue is from chartering its vessels (Suezmax tankers, Aframax tankers and Long Range 2 (or LR2) tankers) to its customers. The Company utilizes two primary forms of contracts, consisting of voyage charters and time charters.

The extent to which the Company employs its vessels on voyage charters versus time charters is dependent upon the Company’s chartering strategy and the availability of time charters. Spot market rates for voyage charters are volatile from period to period, whereas time charters provide a stable source of monthly revenue. The Company also provides ship-to-ship (or STS) support services, which include managing the process of transferring cargo between seagoing ships positioned alongside each other, as well as management services to third-party owners of vessels. For descriptions of these types of contracts, see "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 3" in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The following table contains a breakdown of the Company's revenue by contract type for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023. The Company’s lease income consists of the revenue from its voyage charters and time charters.

Charters-out
As at March 31, 2024, one (December 31, 2023 - two) of the Company’s vessels operated under a fixed-rate time-charter contract, which is scheduled to expire in September 2024. As at March 31, 2024, the minimum scheduled future revenue to be received by the Company under the time charter then in place was approximately $7.0 million (remainder of 2024) (December 31, 2023 - $12.1 million (2024)). The hire payments should not be construed to reflect a forecast of total charter hire revenue for any of the periods. Future hire payments do not include any hire payments generated from new contracts entered into after March 31, 2024 or from variable consideration, if any, under contracts. In addition, future hire payments presented above have been reduced by estimated off-hire time for required periodic maintenance and do not reflect the impact of any applicable revenue sharing arrangements whereby time-charter revenues are shared with other revenue sharing arrangement participants. Actual amounts may vary given future events such as unplanned vessel maintenance.

Contract Liabilities
As at March 31, 2024, the Company had $2.5 million (December 31, 2023 - $3.4 million) of advanced payments recognized as contract liabilities that are expected to be recognized as time-charter revenues or voyage charter revenues in subsequent periods and which are included in other current liabilities on the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

4.    Intangible Assets
As part of the EU ETS requirements as described in note 1, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company acquired EUAs for $1.3 million, which were recorded as an indefinite-lived intangible asset in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2024.

The carrying amounts of intangible assets are as follows:

Amortization of the customer relationships for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Amortization of the customer relationships for the remaining years subsequent to March 31, 2024 is expected to be $0.3 million (remainder of 2024) and $0.3 million (2025).
5.    Long-Term Debt
As at March 31, 2024, the Company had one revolving credit facility (or the 2023 Revolver), which, as at such date, provided for aggregate borrowings of up to $321.8 million (December 31, 2023 - $321.8 million), of which $321.8 million (December 31, 2023 - $321.8 million) was undrawn. The 2023 Revolver matures in May 2029, and interest payments are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (or SOFR) plus a margin of 2.0%. As of March 31, 2024, the total amount available under the 2023 Revolver was scheduled to decrease by $67.8 million (remainder of 2024), $67.8 million (2025), $66.4 million (2026), $55.0 million (2027), $43.3 million (2028) and $21.5 million (thereafter). As of March 31, 2024, the 2023 Revolver is collateralized by 19 of the Company's vessels, together with other related security.

The 2023 Revolver requires the Company to maintain a minimum hull coverage ratio of 125% of the total outstanding drawn balance for the facility. This requirement is assessed on a semi-annual basis with reference to vessel valuations compiled by two or more agreed upon third parties. Should this ratio drop below the required amount, the lenders may request that the Company either prepay a portion of the loan in the amount of the shortfall or provide additional collateral in the amount of the shortfall, at the Company's option. As at March 31, 2024, the hull coverage ratio was not applicable due to no balance being drawn. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity) of the greater of $35.0 million and at least 5% of the Company's total consolidated debt. As at March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in respect of the 2023 Revolver.

The interest rate on the Company’s long-term debt facility as at March 31, 2024 was 7.3% (December 31, 2023 - 7.4%).
6.    Operating Leases and Obligations Related to Finance Leases
Operating Leases

The Company charters-in vessels from other vessel owners on time-charter contracts, whereby the vessel owner provides use and technical operation of the vessel for the Company. A time charter-in contract is typically for a fixed period of time, although in certain cases the Company may have the option to extend the charter. The Company typically pays the owner a daily hire rate that is fixed over the duration of the charter. The Company is generally not required to pay the daily hire rate during periods the vessel is not able to operate.
As at March 31, 2024, minimum commitments to be incurred by the Company under time charter-in contracts were approximately $46.5 million (remainder of 2024), $32.9 million (2025), $18.8 million (2026), $11.2 million (2027), $6.3 million (2028) and $6.6 million (thereafter).

As at March 31, 2024, the Company had no remaining sale-leaseback financing transactions. The eight vessels that the Company had under sale-leaseback financing transactions as at December 31, 2023 were repurchased and delivered in March 2024 for a total cost of $137.0 million, pursuant to repurchase options under related sale-leaseback arrangements. Currently, the eight vessels are unencumbered.
7.    Obligation Related to EU ETS
As part of the EU ETS requirements as described in note 1, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an obligation of $2.0 million, which was included as part of other long-term liabilities in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2024. This amount includes an accrual of $0.7 million, representing the difference between the total emissions liability and the carrying value of the EUAs held as at March 31, 2024. In addition, a corresponding expense of $2.0 million was included as part of voyage expenses in the unaudited consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
8.    Derivative Instruments
Interest rate swap agreement
As deemed appropriate, the Company from time to time uses derivative instruments in accordance with its overall risk management policies. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements which exchange a receipt of floating-rate interest for a payment of fixed-rate interest to reduce the Company’s exposure to interest rate variability on its outstanding floating-rate debt. As at March 31, 2024, the Company was not committed to any interest rate swap agreements.
Forward freight agreements
As deemed appropriate, the Company from time to time uses forward freight agreements (or FFAs) in non-hedge-related transactions to increase or decrease its exposure to spot tanker market rates, within defined limits. Net gains and losses from FFAs are recorded within realized and unrealized loss on derivative instruments in the Company's unaudited consolidated statements of income. As at March 31, 2024, the Company maintains restricted cash deposits relating to FFAs (see Note 17); however, the Company was not committed to any FFAs.
Tabular Disclosure
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) relating to interest rate swaps and FFAs are recognized in earnings and reported in realized and unrealized loss on derivative instruments in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of income as follows:

9.    Fair Value Measurements
For a description of how the Company estimates fair value and for a description of the fair value hierarchy levels, see "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10" to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

As part of the EU ETS requirements as described in note 1, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an obligation related to EU ETS which was included as part of other long-term liabilities in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2024. This amount includes an accrual representing the difference between the total emissions liability and the carrying value of the EUAs held as at March 31, 2024. The fair value of the accrual is estimated using the fair market value of an EUA that is traded on a regulated energy exchange at the end of the reporting period.
The following table includes the estimated fair value, carrying value and categorization using the fair value hierarchy of those assets and liabilities that are measured at their estimated fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, as well as certain financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

(1)The advances to its equity-accounted joint venture, together with the Company’s investment in the equity-accounted joint venture, form the net aggregate carrying value of the Company’s interests in the equity-accounted joint venture in these unaudited consolidated financial statements. As at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair values of the individual components of such aggregate interests were not determinable.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the financial institutions where its cash and cash equivalents are held. In order to minimize credit risk, the Company only places deposits with counterparties that are rated A- or better by Standard & Poor’s or A3 or better by Moody’s at the time of the transaction. In addition, to the extent practical, cash deposits are held by and entered into with, as applicable, different counterparties to reduce concentration risk.

10.    Capital Stock and Equity-Based Compensation
The authorized capital stock of the Company at March 31, 2024 was 100.0 million shares of preferred stock (December 31, 2023 - 100.0 million shares), with a par value of $0.01 per share (December 31, 2023 - $0.01 per share), 485.0 million shares of Class A common stock (December 31, 2023 - 485.0 million shares), with a par value of $0.01 per share (December 31, 2023 - $0.01 per share), and 100.0 million shares of Class B common stock (December 31, 2023 - 100.0 million shares), with a par value of $0.01 per share (December 31, 2023 - $0.01 per share). A share of Class A common stock entitles the holder to one vote per share while a share of Class B common stock entitles the holder to five votes per share, subject to a 49% aggregate Class B common stock voting power maximum. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 29.6 million shares of Class A common stock (December 31, 2023 – 29.5 million), 4.6 million shares of Class B common stock (December 31, 2023 – 4.6 million) and no shares of preferred stock (December 31, 2023 – nil) issued and outstanding.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in "Item 1 – Financial Statements" of this Report on Form 6-K and with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in "Item 18 – Financial Statements" and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

OVERVIEW
Our business is to own and operate crude oil and product tankers, and we employ a chartering strategy that seeks to capture upside opportunities in the tanker spot market while using fixed-rate time charters and full service lightering (or FSL) contracts to reduce potential downside risks. Our mix of vessels trading in the spot market or subject to fixed-term time charters will change from time to time. In addition to our core business, we also provide ship-to-ship (or STS) support services, along with our tanker commercial management and technical management operations. As at March 31, 2024, our fleet consisted of 53 vessels, including 10 chartered-in vessels, and one 50%-owned Very Large Crude Carrier (or VLCC). The following table summarizes our fleet as at March 31, 2024:

(1)The Suezmax tanker is currently time chartered-in for a period of 54 months expiring in June 2027 with an option to extend for one year.
(2)The charter-out contract is scheduled to expire in September 2024.
(3)Six Aframax / LR2 tankers are currently time chartered-in for periods of 24 to 36 months expiring in July 2024, August 2024, November 2024, March 2025 and February 2026, three of which have options to extend for one year. One 2023-built Aframax / LR2 tanker is currently time chartered-in for a period of seven years expiring in January 2030 with three one-year extension option periods and a purchase option at the end of the second extension option period.
(4)The VLCC is owned through a 50/50 joint venture (or High-Q joint venture). As at March 31, 2024, the VLCC was trading on spot voyage charters in a pooling arrangement managed by a third party.
(5)As at March 31, 2024, a total of 48 of our owned and chartered-in vessels, as well as five vessels not in our fleet and owned by third parties, were subject to revenue sharing agreements (or RSAs).
ITEMS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN EVALUATING OUR RESULTS
There are a number of factors that should be considered when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects, and we use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts when analyzing our results of operations. These items can be found in "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN 2024
Conflicts in Israel/Gaza Strip and Ukraine

On October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked Israel, with Israel then declaring war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Since mid-December 2023, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have carried out numerous attacks on vessels in the Red Sea area, ostensibly in response to the Israel-Hamas war. As a result of these attacks, many shipping companies continue to suspend transit through the Red Sea, which has affected trading patterns, rates and expenses. While it is impossible to predict how this situation will evolve in the future, we expect that the rerouting of cargos will lead to additional spot tanker rate volatility in the near term. Escalation or expansion of hostilities, interventions by other groups or nations, the imposition of economic sanctions on any major oil producing nations, disruption of shipping transit in the Straits of Hormuz or other significant trade routes, such as the Red Sea, or similar outcomes could adversely affect the tanker industry, demand for our services, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has disrupted energy supply chains, caused instability and significant volatility in the global economy and resulted in economic sanctions on Russia by several nations. The ongoing conflict has contributed significantly to related increases in spot tanker rates. Additional sanctions and executive orders have been implemented and authorities continue to actively investigate compliance with the price cap requirement. This could further impact the trade of crude oil and petroleum products, as well as the supply of Russian oil to the global market and the demand for, and price of, crude oil and petroleum products.

Please see “Item 3 - Key Information - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information about risks to us and our business, including risks relating to political instability, terrorist or other attacks, war or international hostilities and the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine.

Vessel Sale

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we agreed to sell one Aframax / LR2 tanker for $23.5 million, which sale resulted in a gain on sale of $11.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The tanker, which was classified as held for sale as at December 31, 2023, was delivered to its new owner in February 2024.

Vessel Sale-Leaseback Repurchases

In March 2024, we completed the repurchase of eight Suezmax tankers for a total cost of $137.0 million, pursuant to repurchase options under related sale-leaseback arrangements. Currently, the eight vessels are unencumbered.

European Union Emissions Trading System (or EU ETS)

Since January 1, 2024, as part of our compliance with the EU ETS requirements, we have acquired EU allowances (or EUAs) related to greenhouse gas emissions from our vessels and those vessels subject to RSAs that trade to, from, and within the EU and European Economic Area. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we acquired EUAs for a cost of $1.3 million on the secondary market. As at March 31, 2024, we recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $1.3 million in relation to the purchased EUAs and a long-term liability of $2.0 million in relation to our obligation under EU ETS. In addition, we recorded voyage expenses of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Please see “Item 4 – Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Regulations” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as “Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 1 – Basis of Presentation”, “Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 4 – Intangible Assets” and “Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 7 – Obligation Related to EU ETS” in this Report on Form 6-K for information about EU ETS requirements and our obligation related to EU ETS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In accordance with GAAP, we report gross revenues in our unaudited consolidated statements of income and include voyage expenses among our operating expenses. However, ship-owners base economic decisions regarding the deployment of their vessels upon anticipated time-charter equivalent (or TCE) rates, which represent net revenues (or 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), which includes voyage expenses, divided by revenue days; in addition, industry analysts typically measure bulk shipping freight and hire rates in terms of TCE rates. This is because under time charter-out contracts the customer usually pays the voyage expenses, while under voyage charters the ship-owner usually pays the voyage expenses, which typically are added to the hire rate at an approximate cost. Accordingly, the discussion of revenue below focuses on net revenues and TCE rates (both of which are non-GAAP financial measures) where applicable.

Summary

Our consolidated income from operations was $139.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $181.9 million in the same period last year. The primary reasons for this decrease in income are as follows:
chart-592d067a0cb144f19e1a.jpg
•a decrease of $55.3 million as a result of lower overall average realized spot TCE rates earned by our Suezmax tankers and Aframax / LR2 tankers in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year; and

•a decrease of $7.9 million due to the sale of one Aframax / LR2 tanker during the fourth quarter of 2023 and one Aframax / LR2 tanker during the first quarter of 2024;

partially offset by:

•an increase of $11.6 million due to the gain on sale of one Aframax / LR2 tanker in the first quarter of 2024;

•an increase of $5.7 million due to fewer off-hire days in the first quarter of 2024, primarily related to the timing of dry dockings compared to the same period in the prior year; and

•an increase of $2.3 million due to the addition of three Aframax / LR2 chartered-in tankers that were delivered to us during the first quarter of 2023.

Details of the changes to our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, are provided below.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

We own and operate crude oil and product tankers that (i) are subject to long-term, fixed-rate time-charter contracts (which have an original term of one year or more), (ii) operate in the spot tanker market, or (iii) are subject to time charters that are priced on a spot market basis or are short-term, fixed-rate contracts (which have original terms of less than one year), including those employed on FSL contracts. In addition, we provide STS support services, along with our tanker commercial management and technical management services.

Net Revenues. Net revenues were $221.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $270.5 million for the same period in the prior year.
The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily the result of:

•a decrease of $55.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to lower overall average realized spot rates earned by our Suezmax tankers and Aframax / LR2 tankers compared to the same period in the prior year; and

•a net decrease of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to the sale of two Aframax / LR2 tankers during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by the addition of three Aframax / LR2 chartered-in tankers that were delivered to us during the first quarter of 2023;

partially offset by:

•an increase of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to fewer off-hire days related to the timing of dry dockings compared to the same period in the prior year;

•an increase of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to one extra calendar day compared to the same period in the prior year; and

•an increase of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to one vessel returning from a time charter-out contract during the first quarter of 2023 and earning a higher average spot rate compared to its previous fixed rate.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses were $37.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $38.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The net decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.2 million resulting from the sale of two Aframax / LR2 tankers during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, as well as a decrease of $1.0 million resulting from lower repair costs on certain vessels during the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million related to higher non-recurring expenditures for ship management during the first quarter of 2024.
16


Time-charter Hire Expenses. Time-charter hire expenses were $19.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $12.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $4.2 million resulting from the addition of three Aframax / LR2 chartered-in tankers that were delivered to us during the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $1.7 million resulting from more hire days for a chartered-in tanker during the first quarter of 2024 due to its dry dock during the first quarter of 2023, as well as an increase of $1.0 million resulting from an increase in daily hire rates for two Aframax / LR2 tankers after extending their chartered-in contracts during the second half of 2023.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $24.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of two Aframax / LR2 tankers during the fourth quarter of 2023 and first quarter of 2024.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $12.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher expenditures related to compensation, benefits and payroll taxes.
Gain on Sale of Vessel. The gain on sale of vessel of $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was related to the sale of one Aframax / LR2 tanker in February 2024.
Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were related to organizational changes made to our commercial and technical operations teams.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $11.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of 11 Aframax / LR2 tankers and eight Suezmax tankers during 2023, all of which were previously held under sale-leaseback arrangements.
Interest Income. Interest income was $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher cash balances earning higher interest rates.
Realized and Unrealized Loss on Derivative Instruments. Realized and unrealized loss on derivative instruments was $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $0.1 million for the same period in the prior year.
From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements which exchange a receipt of floating interest for a payment of fixed interest to reduce our exposure to interest rate variability on our outstanding floating-rate debt. During 2023, we terminated our interest rate swap agreement that we entered into in March 2020. As at March 31, 2024, we were not committed to any interest rate swap agreements.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized a realized gain of $0.5 million and an unrealized loss of $0.6 million under a now-terminated interest rate swap agreement.
Equity Income. Equity income was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher spot rates realized by our 50% ownership interest in a VLCC, which has been trading in a third-party managed VLCC pooling arrangement.
Other Expense. Other expense was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our accrued tax and working capital balances.
Income Tax Recovery (Expense). Income tax recovery was $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to an income tax expense of $2.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The fluctuation was primarily due to the reversal of a certain freight tax liability based on an assessment of our tax position for a jurisdiction, a higher recovery related to the expiry of the limitation period in a certain jurisdiction, as well as changes in vessel trading activities. For additional information, please read "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 15 - Income Tax Recovery (Expense)" of this report.

Tanker Market

Mid-size crude tanker spot rates strengthened during the first quarter of 2024 due to a combination of firm tanker tonne-mile demand, limited fleet supply growth, and seasonal weather delays. Geopolitical events linked to the conflict in Ukraine and instability in the Middle East added to spot rate volatility by disrupting seaborne trade patterns and increasing average voyage distances during the quarter. These factors have continued to support spot tanker rates during the second quarter of 2024 to date, with rates remaining at firm levels.

The global economy continues to show signs of resilience and global oil demand is projected to grow by 1.5 mb/d in both 2024 and 2025 as per the average of forecasts from the International Energy Agency (or IEA), the U.S. Energy Information Administration (or EIA) and OPEC. 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, Brazil, Guyana, and Canada. The commissioning of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, which is expected to bring an additional 590,000 barrels of oil per day to the port of Vancouver, Canada from the second quarter of 2024, should also be a positive development for mid-size tanker demand. The Vancouver terminal is restricted to Aframax tankers and is relatively far from the main Aframax trade lanes, thereby increasing the tonne-mile impact.

Geopolitical events continue to shape seaborne oil flows and have led to trade disruption and greater voyage distances in recent months. Ongoing attacks on merchant shipping in the Red Sea have led to an increasing number of vessels taking the much longer route around the Cape of Good Hope (or COGH) instead of the Suez Canal, creating significant additional tonne-mile demand. This has been most evident in the LR2 market, with European diesel and other refined product imports from the Middle East and India predominantly sailing via the COGH since the start of the year and giving rise to a very firm and volatile LR2 spot market. Crude oil movements have also been impacted, which has strengthened mid-size crude tanker rates.

In recent weeks, Ukraine has increased its attacks on Russian oil infrastructure, including several refineries. This has led to a decrease in Russian refining capacity which has freed up more crude oil for export, with Russian crude oil exports on a rising trend since the start of the year and reaching a six month high in April 2024. While Teekay Tankers does not transport Russian oil, an increase in Russian crude oil exports impacts the wider tanker market by increasing tonne-mile demand for mid-size tankers given that almost all Russian crude now flows long-haul to India and China on Aframax and Suezmax vessels.

Fleet supply fundamentals continue to look positive, despite an increase in the pace of new tanker orders in recent months. Just 2.4 million deadweight (or mdwt) of new tankers were delivered into the fleet during the first quarter of 2024, which is the lowest delivery total for a first quarter since 1989. Deliveries are expected to remain very low through the remainder of the year, and we expect tanker fleet growth will be close to zero in 2024. Looking further ahead, we believe the combination of a small orderbook, an aging tanker fleet, and a lack of shipyard capacity until mid-2027 should ensure that fleet growth remains low over the next two to three years.

In summary, we retain a positive view of the tanker market due to a combination of strong tanker tonne-mile demand growth and low tanker fleet supply growth, with geopolitical factors and resultant trade disruption likely adding to tanker spot rate volatility in both the near and medium term.

Fleet and TCE Rates

As at March 31, 2024, we owned 42 double-hulled oil and product tankers and time chartered-in seven Aframax / LR2 tankers, one Suezmax tanker and two STS support vessels. We also owned a 50% interest in one VLCC, the results of which are included in equity income.
The following table highlights the operating performance of our time-charter vessels and spot vessels trading in RSAs, on voyage charters and in FSL, measured in net voyage revenue per revenue day, or TCE rates, before off-hire bunker expenses:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources and Uses of Capital

We generate cash flows primarily from chartering out our vessels. We employ a chartering strategy that seeks to capture upside opportunities in the tanker spot market while using fixed-rate time charters and FSL contracts to reduce potential downside risks. Our short-term charters and spot market tanker operations contribute to the volatility of our net operating cash flow, and thus may impact our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs. Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability and asset values resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for, vessel capacity. In addition, tanker spot markets historically have exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Tanker spot markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere and unpredictable weather patterns that tend to disrupt vessel scheduling. However, there can be other factors that override typical seasonality, such as global oil trade routes and tonne-mile demand being impacted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While exposure to the volatile spot market is the largest potential cause for changes in our net operating cash flow from period to period, variability in our net operating cash flow also reflects changes in interest rates, fluctuations in working capital balances, the timing and the amount of dry-docking expenditures, repairs and maintenance activities, the average number of vessels in service, including chartered-in vessels, and vessel acquisitions or vessel dispositions, among other factors. The number of vessel dry dockings varies each period depending on vessel maintenance schedules.

Our other primary sources of cash are long-term bank borrowings, lease or equity financings, and the proceeds from the sales of our older vessels.

As of March 31, 2024, we have one credit facility, our 2023 Revolver, and we had no vessels subject to financing leases. Our 2023 Revolver is described in "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 5 - Long-Term Debt" of this report. Our 2023 Revolver contains covenants and other restrictions that we believe are typical of debt financing collateralized by vessels, including those that restrict the relevant subsidiaries from: incurring or guaranteeing additional indebtedness; making certain negative pledges or granting certain liens; and selling, transferring, assigning or conveying assets. Our 2023 Revolver requires us to maintain certain financial covenants. The terms of and compliance with these financial covenants are described in further detail in "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 5 - Long-Term Debt" of this report. If we do not meet these financial or other covenants, the lenders may declare our obligations under the agreement immediately due and payable and terminate any further loan commitments, which depending upon our other liquidity at the time, could significantly affect our short-term liquidity requirements. As at March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under our 2023 Revolver. Our 2023 Revolver requires us to make interest payments based on SOFR plus a margin. Depending upon the amount of our floating-rate credit facilities and balances from time to time, significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to service our debt. From time to time, we use interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. As at March 31, 2024, we were not committed to any interest rate swap agreements.

Our primary uses of cash include the payment of operating expenses, dry-docking expenditures, costs associated with modifications to our vessels, funding our other working capital requirements, dividend payments on our common shares, repurchase of our common shares under our share repurchase program, providing funding to our equity-accounted joint venture from time to time, debt servicing costs, as well as scheduled repayments of long-term debt. In addition, we may use cash to acquire new or second-hand vessels. The timing of the acquisition of vessels depends on a number of factors, including newbuilding prices, second-hand vessel values, the age, condition and size of our existing fleet, the commercial outlook for our vessels and other considerations. As such, vessel acquisition activity may vary significantly from year-to-year.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash and cash equivalents provided by (used for) operating, financing and investing activities for the periods presented:

Net cash flow used for financing activities(148,032)(177,649)
Net cash flow provided by (used for) investing activities22,855(442)

Net Operating Cash Flow
The $37.7 million decrease in net operating cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to:

•a net decrease of $43.8 million in cash inflows primarily due to lower operating earnings during the first quarter of 2024 resulting from lower average realized spot tanker rates, as well as the sale of two Aframax / LR2 tankers during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by fewer off-hire days in the first quarter of 2024 related to the timing of dry dockings and the addition of three chartered-in vessels during the first quarter of 2023;

partially offset by:

•a decrease of $5.4 million in cash outflows related to changes in net working capital during the first quarter of 2024; and

•a decrease of $0.7 million in cash outflows related to expenditures for dry-docking activities during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Net Financing Cash Flow
Net cash flow used for financing activities decreased by $29.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to:

•a decrease of $35.5 million in cash outflows primarily due to a decrease in prepayments and scheduled repayments on our finance lease obligations resulting from the repurchase of eight Suezmax tankers under their previous sale-leaseback financing agreements in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the repurchase of one Suezmax tanker and eight Aframax / LR2 tankers in the first quarter of 2023; and

•an increase of $2.8 million in cash inflows due to proceeds received upon the exercise of stock options during the first quarter of 2024;

partially offset by:

•an increase of $8.6 million in cash outflows due to cash dividends on our common shares paid during the first quarter of 2024.

Net Investing Cash Flow
Net cash flow provided by investing activities increased by $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of cash inflows resulting from net proceeds received from the sale of one Aframax / LR2 tanker during the first quarter of 2024.

Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, net operating cash flow, our undrawn credit facility, and capital raised through financing transactions. The primary objectives of our cash management policy are to preserve capital, to ensure that cash investments can be sold readily and efficiently, and to provide an appropriate return. The nature and extent of amounts that can be borrowed under our 2023 Revolver are described in "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 5 - Long-Term Debt" of this report.

For information on our dividend policy and share repurchase program, please see "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" in "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Our total consolidated liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and undrawn credit facility, increased by $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $687.1 million as at December 31, 2023 to $691.5 million as at March 31, 2024. The increase during the three
20

months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily a result of the following events or changes during the first quarter of 2024: $129.7 million of net operating cash inflow during the first quarter of 2024; $23.4 million received from the sale of one Aframax / LR2 tanker and $2.8 million of proceeds received upon the exercise of stock options; partially offset by a $137.0 million payment for the repurchase of eight Suezmax tankers that were previously under sale-leaseback arrangements; $8.6 million of cash dividends paid on our common shares; $5.2 million of scheduled repayments of obligations related to finance leases and $0.4 million of expenditures for capital upgrades for vessels and equipment.

We anticipate that our liquidity at March 31, 2024, combined with cash we expect to generate during the 12 months following the date of this report, will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the one-year period following the date of this report.

Our 2023 Revolver matures in May 2029, and there was no amount outstanding under the facility as at March 31, 2024. Our ability to refinance our 2023 Revolver will depend upon, among other things, the estimated market value of our vessels, our financial condition and the condition of credit markets at such time. In addition, as at March 31, 2024, we did not have any capital commitments related to the acquisition of new or second-hand vessels. However, approximately 50% of our fleet is currently aged 15 years and older, and we may need to begin the process of fleet renewal in the coming years. We expect that any fleet renewal expenditures will be funded using the undrawn revolving credit facility, cash on hand and new financing arrangements, including bank borrowings, finance leases and, potentially, the issuance of debt and equity securities.

Other risks and uncertainties related to our liquidity include changes to income tax legislation or the resolution of uncertain tax positions relating to freight tax liabilities as outlined in "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 15 - Income Tax Recovery (Expense)" of this report, which could have a significant financial impact on our business, which we cannot predict with certainty at this time. In addition, as at March 31, 2024, the High-Q joint venture had a loan outstanding with a financial institution with a balance of $19.7 million, and we guarantee 50% of the outstanding loan balance. Finally, existing or future climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases could have a significant financial and operational impact on our business, which we cannot predict with certainty at this time. Such regulatory measures could increase our costs related to operating and maintaining our vessels and require us to install new emission controls, acquire allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions, or administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. The inclusion of the maritime industry in the EU ETS as of January 1, 2024, requires us to acquire allowances related to our greenhouse gas emissions as outlined in "Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 1 – Basis of Presentation”, “Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 4 – Intangible Assets” and “Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 7 – Obligation Related to EU ETS” of this report. In addition, increased regulation of greenhouse gases may, in the long-term, lead to reduced demand for oil and reduced demand for our services.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties are discussed in "Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to these estimates and assumptions in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE

Net Revenues

Net revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure. Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, we use “net revenues” (defined as 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) as a measure of equating revenues generated from voyage charters to revenues generated from time charters, which assists us in making operating decisions about the deployment of our vessels and their performance. Since under time charters the charterer pays the voyage expenses, whereas under voyage charters, the ship-owner pays these expenses, we include voyage expenses in net revenues. Some voyage expenses are fixed, and the remainder can be estimated. If we, as the ship owner, pay the voyage expenses, we typically pass the approximate amount of these expenses on to our customers by charging higher rates to them. As a result, although revenues from different types of contracts may vary, the
21

net revenues are comparable across the different types of contracts. We principally use net revenues because it provides more meaningful information to us than income from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Net revenues is also widely used by investors and analysts in the shipping industry for comparing financial performance between companies and to industry averages. The following table reconciles net revenues with income from operations.
