Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. International Seaways, which belongs to the Zacks Transportation - Shipping industry, posted revenues of $195.64 million for the quarter ended June 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.36%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $257.41 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. International Seaways shares have added about 20.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.1%. What's Next for International Seaways? While International Seaways has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for International Seaways was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.94 on $186.61 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.24 on $765.69 million in revenues for the current fiscal year. Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well.

International Seaways Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--International Seaways, Inc. (NYSE: INSW) (the 'Company,' 'Seaways,' or 'INSW'), one of the largest tanker companies worldwide providing energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products, today reported results for the second quarter 2025. HIGHLIGHTS & RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Quarterly Results: Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $62 million, or $1.25 per diluted share. Adjusted net income (1), defined as net income excluding special items, for the second quarter of 2025 was $50 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, which excludes a gain on vessel sales in connection with the fleet optimization described below. Adjusted EBITDA (1) for the second quarter or 2025 was $102 million. Fleet Optimization Program: Sold or agreed to sell six vessels with an average age of 17.5 years. Two 2007-built MRs were sold at the end of the second quarter for proceeds of $28 million, net of fees and commissions. The remaining four vessels, three 2008-built MRs and one 2006-built LR1, are expected to deliver during the third quarter for proceeds of approximately $57 million. Agreed to purchase 2020-built scrubber-fitted VLCC for $119 million, delivering during the fourth quarter. Healthy Balance Sheet: Total liquidity was approximately $709 million as of June 30, 2025, including cash of $149 million and $560 million undrawn revolving credit capacity. Repaid $36 million in outstanding revolving credit facilities. Net loan-to-value remained low at approximately 14% as of June 30, 2025. Secured a $240 million financing commitment for our LR1 newbuildings through a Korean export agency-backed structure with DNB Bank and K-SURE. Closing is expected in August 2025, subject to finalization of documentation. Funds to be drawn at each vessel's delivery. The structure includes two tranches, combining for a 20-year amortization profile and a blended margin of 125 basis points over a 12-year stated maturity. Returns to Shareholders: Paid a combined $0.60 per share in regular and supplemental dividends in June 2025. Declared a combined dividend of $0.77 per share to be paid in September 2025, representing 75% of adjusted net income (1). 23 rd consecutive quarterly dividend and 4th consecutive quarter with a payout ratio of at least 75%. Lois K. Zabrocky, International Seaways President and CEO commented, 'We continue to make meaningful progress in executing our disciplined capital allocation strategy by selling six of our oldest vessels and purchasing modern tonnage, strengthening our balance sheet and returning cash to shareholders. Since instituting our supplemental dividends in the fourth quarter of 2022, Seaways dividends aggregate to $15.25 per share, including our June declared dividend, which equates to an annualized yield of nearly 14% on our market capitalization over that period. Our balance sheet has the strength to withstand the volatility of the tanker markets, and combined with our enhanced scale through pool employment, the Company is well positioned to continue executing on fleet renewal and delivering long-term value to shareholders.' Ms. Zabrocky continued, 'While the current geopolitical environment continues to create uncertainty for the global economy and tanker markets, we expect oil demand to continue to grow in the near term, supported by production growth from both the Americas and OPEC+. Oil inventories and strategic reserves remain well below their historical levels. We expect these factors to create regional imbalances, growing distances between production, processing and end-user consumption, that support demand for seaborne transportation. Tanker supply may decline as the vessels delivering into the fleet is only 30% of the vessels expected to be removed from the compliant trade.' Jeff Pribor, the Company's CFO stated, 'Seaways continues to deliver on its commitment to balanced capital allocation. During the quarter, we sold two older vessels, realizing annualized returns of nearly 50% since acquiring them in 2021. Over the past year, we have returned 75% or more of our adjusted net income to shareholders through dividends. We also secured attractive financing for our LR1 newbuildings that begin delivering in the third quarter. Importantly, we maintain our financial strength and flexibility, with over $560 million of undrawn revolving capacity, to support our growth platform and enable us to navigate through the tanker cycle. With over $700 million in total liquidity, we are positioned to capitalize on strategic opportunities that enhance our fleet while optimizing returns to shareholders.' SECOND QUARTER 2025 RESULTS Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $62 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $145 million, or $2.91 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in results was primarily driven by lower TCE revenues (1) from spot earnings of approximately $13,000 per day across the total fleet and lower gains on vessel sales. Shipping revenues for the second quarter were $196 million, compared to $257 million for the second quarter of 2024. Consolidated TCE revenues (1) for the second quarter were $189 million, compared to $252 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA (1) for the second quarter was $102 million, compared to $167 million for the second quarter of 2024. Crude Tankers Shipping revenues for the Crude Tankers segment were $104 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $125 million for the second quarter of 2024. TCE revenues (1) were $99 million for the second quarter, compared to $121 million for the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was attributable to average spot earnings of the VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax sectors of approximately $39,300, $36,800 and $30,700 per day, respectively, compared with approximately $46,400, $45,000 and $31,500 per day, respectively, during the second quarter of 2024. Product Carriers Shipping revenues for the Product Carriers segment were $92 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $132 million for the second quarter of 2024. TCE revenues (1) were $90 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $131 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable average spot earnings in the LR1 and MR classes of approximately $32,800 and $18,900 per day, respectively, compared with approximately $53,000, and $35,000 per day, respectively in the second quarter of 2024. FLEET OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM During the second quarter of 2025, the Company sold two 2007-built vessels for net proceeds of approximately $28 million. In the third quarter, another four vessels are expected to be sold for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $57 million. In August 2025, the Company agreed to purchase a 2020-built, scrubber-fitted VLCC for $119 million that is expected to deliver during the fourth quarter of 2025. The vessel purchase is expected to be funded by proceeds from vessel sales and available liquidity. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company concluded a vessel swap to exchange two of our oldest VLCCs and $3 million in cash for three 2015-built MRs through a series of individual vessel sales and purchase agreements with the same counterparty. Due to the timing of the transactions, the Company received net proceeds during the first quarter of 2025 of $50 million and paid $53 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. As of July 1, 2025, the Company has 14 vessels on time charter agreements with an average duration of 1.7 years and total future contracted revenues through expiry of approximately $261 million, excluding any applicable profit share. The Company has contracts to build six scrubber-fitted, dual-fuel (LNG) ready, LR1 vessels in Korea with K Shipbuilding Co, Ltd at a total price of approximately $359 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has approximately $300 million in remaining construction commitments, which are expected to be paid through a combination of long-term financing and available liquidity. The vessels are contracted to be delivered beginning in the third quarter of 2025 through the third quarter of 2026. These vessels are expected to deliver into our niche Panamax International Pool, which has consistently outperformed the market. BALANCE SHEET ENHANCEMENTS In the first half of 2025, the Company repaid $117 million on its revolving credit facilities, composed of $69 million, primarily borrowed for timing differences in connection with the vessel swap and $48 million to offset capacity reductions in our revolving credit facilities. During July 2025, the Company repaid $27 million outstanding on its revolving credit facilities. In April 2025, the Company tendered an irrevocable notice of its intention to exercise purchase options on its sale leaseback arrangements with Ocean Yield Lease Financing, secured by six VLCCs. The aggregate outstanding will be $258 million at the time of payment in November 2025. While the Company is exploring financing alternatives, it can draw on its $560 million in available revolving credit facilities to fully fund those purchase options. In accordance with applicable accounting guidelines, the Company is required to classify the outstanding balance of the Ocean Yield Lease Financing at June 30, 2025, net of unamortized deferred financing charges, aggregating $267 million, within the current portion of debt. RETURNING CASH TO SHAREHOLDERS In June 2025, the Company paid a combined dividend of $0.60 per share of common stock, composed of a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock and a supplemental dividend of $0.48 per share. On August 5, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors declared a combined dividend of $0.77 per share of common stock, composed of a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock and a supplemental dividend of $0.65 per share of common stock. Both dividends will be paid on September 24, 2025, to shareholders with a record date at the close of business on September 10, 2025.

(1) Includes bareboat charters, but excludes vessels chartered in where the duration of the charter was one year or less at inception. Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Information The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the following non-GAAP measures may provide certain investors with additional information that will better enable them to evaluate the Company's performance. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide supplemental information, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income Adjusted net income consists of net income adjusted for the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. This measure does not represent or substitute net income or any other financial item that is determined in accordance with GAAP. While adjusted net income is frequently used as a measure of operating results and performance, it may not be necessarily comparable with other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, to adjusted net income: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as a measure of operating results and performance, neither of them is necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles net income as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) Revenues Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses TCE revenues, which represents shipping revenues less voyage expenses, as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time charter. Time charter equivalent revenues, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with shipping revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Reconciliation of TCE revenues of the segments to shipping revenues as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations follow:
