Team Tankers International Ltd. Announces 2^nd Quarter 2019 Results

2^nd Quarter 2019 results

Team Tankers International Ltd. (OSE: TEAM) reported EBITDA for the 2^nd quarter of $11.8 million, compared with $14.0 million in the 1^st quarter of 2019 (Q2'18: $6.7 million).  Net loss in the 2^nd quarter of 2019 was $17.4 million, compared with a net loss of $7.9 million in the 1^st quarter of 2019 (Q2'18 net income: $4.4 million). The average time charter equivalent rate for the fleet was $11,611 per day this quarter, compared with $12,123 per day in the previous quarter.

Team’s CEO, Hans Feringa, commented “We freed up capital by divesting certain intermediate and older deep sea tonnage, leaving us with a more focused and attractive fleet and additional capital for investment activity. The divested asset prices are at levels well above what is implied by the 2nd quarter traded share price, proving value for our shareholders. We will consider further divestment and investment activity as we position ourselves for 2020, with emphasis on becoming a more focused deep sea shipping company.”

Forward looking statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements. These statements are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including Team Tankers International's management's examination of historical operating trends. Although Team Tankers International believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control, the Company cannot give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or intentions.

Important factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in this report include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions including fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the chemical tanker market, changes in the Company's operating expenses including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by the Company. Neither Team Tankers International nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements.
