January 2019 Reverse Stock
Split
On January 18, 2019, the Company effected a
one-for-ten reverse stock split. The Company's shareholders
approved the reverse stock split and change in authorized common
shares at the Company's special meeting of shareholders held
on January 15, 2019. Pursuant to this reverse stock split, the
total number of authorized common shares was reduced to 150.0
million shares and common shares outstanding were reduced from
513,975,324 shares to 51,397,470 shares (which reflects adjustments
for fractional share settlements). The par value was not adjusted
as a result of the reverse stock split. All share and per
share information contained in this press release has been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
The Company believes that the increased market
price for its common shares as a result of implementing the reverse
stock split has and will improve the marketability and liquidity of
the Company's common shares and will encourage interest and trading
in the Company's common shares. In addition, the Company believes
that a number of institutional investors and investment funds are
reluctant to invest, and in some cases may be prohibited from
investing, in lower-priced stocks and that brokerage firms are
reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients. By
effecting a reverse stock split, the Company believes it may be
able to raise the market price of its common shares to a level
where its common shares could be viewed more favorably by potential
investors. Other investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing
lower-priced stocks because brokerage commissions, as a percentage
of the total transaction, tend to be higher for lower-priced
stocks. A higher share price after a reverse stock split could
alleviate this concern.
There can be no assurance that the reverse stock
split will achieve any of the desired results.
Declaration of Dividend
On February 13, 2019, the Company's Board of
Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common
share, payable on or about March 28, 2019 to all shareholders of
record as of March 13, 2019 (the record date). As of
February 13, 2019, there were 51,397,470 common shares
outstanding.

("Scrubbers"), which are expected to be installed throughout 2019

investment for these systems, including estimated installation
costs, is expected to be between $2.0 and $2.5 million per vessel
and the Company is currently in discussions with potential lenders

- In December 2018, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend
with respect to the fourth quarter of 2018 on the Company's common
stock of $0.10 per share.
- In October 2018, the Company closed on the previously announced

million lease financing arrangement. This transaction is
described below and was part of the Company's previously announced
refinancing initiatives.
- In October 2018, the Company raised net proceeds
of approximately $319.6 million in an underwritten public
offering of 18.2 million shares of common stock (including 2.0
million shares of common stock issued when the underwriters
partially exercised their overallotment option to purchase
additional shares) at a public offering price
of $18.50 per share. Scorpio Bulkers Inc., or SALT,
and Scorpio Services Holding Limited, or SSH, each a related party,
purchased 5.4 million common shares and 0.5 million common shares,
respectively, at the public offering price.
$157.5 Million Sale and
Leaseback
In July 2018, the Company agreed to sell and
leaseback six MR product tankers (STI San Antonio, STI Benicia, STI
St. Charles, STI Yorkville, STI Mayfair and STI Duchessa) and one
LR2 product tanker (STI Alexis) to an international financial
institution. The borrowing amount under the arrangement was
$157.5 million in aggregate, and these agreements, which have been
accounted for as financing arrangements, closed in October
2018. In September 2018, the Company repaid the outstanding
indebtedness for two vessels consisting of $14.2 million on the HSH
Credit Facility and $13.6 million on the K-Sure Credit Facility, in
advance of the October closing of these transactions. Upon closing,
the remaining proceeds were partially utilized to repay the
outstanding indebtedness of $59.2 million on the 2016 Credit
Facility and the outstanding indebtedness of $25.8 million on the
DVB 2017 Credit Facility for the remaining five vessels.
Each agreement is for a fixed term of seven years,
and the Company has options to purchase the vessels beginning at
the end of the third year of each agreement. The leases bear
interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0% per annum and will be
repaid in equal quarterly principal installments of $0.5 million
per MR and $0.6 million for the LR2. Each agreement also has
a purchase obligation at the end of the seventh year. The
Company is subject to certain additional terms and conditions under
this arrangement, including financial covenants, which are similar
to those set forth in its existing lease financing
arrangements.
$250 Million Securities Repurchase
Program
In May 2015, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized a Securities Repurchase Program to purchase up to an
aggregate of $250 million of the Company's securities which, in
addition to its common shares, currently consist of its (i)
Convertible Notes due 2019, which were issued in June 2014, (ii)
Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2020 (NYSE: SBNA), which were issued in
May 2014, (iii) Senior Notes Due June 2019 (NYSE: SBBC), which were
issued in March 2017, and (iv) Convertible Notes due 2022, which
were issued in May and July 2018.
Since January 2018 through the date of this press
release, the Company has acquired an aggregate of 1,351,265 of its
common shares at an average price of $17.20 per share; the
repurchased shares are being held as treasury shares. There are
51,397,470 shares outstanding as of February 13, 2019.
As of the date hereof, the Company has the
authority to purchase up to an additional $123.8 million of its
securities under its Securities Repurchase Program. The Company may
repurchase its securities in the open market, at times and prices
that are considered to be appropriate by the Company, but is not
obligated under the terms of the Securities Repurchase Program to
repurchase any of its securities.
Diluted Weighted Number of
Shares
Diluted earnings per share is determined using the
if-converted method. Under this method, the Company assumes that
its Convertible Notes due 2019 and Convertible Notes due 2022
(which were issued in June 2014 and May 2018, respectively) were
converted into common shares at the beginning of each period and
the interest and non-cash amortization expense associated with
these notes of $6.0 million and $23.5 million during the three
months and year ended December 31, 2018, respectively, were not
incurred. Conversion is not assumed if the results of this
calculation are anti-dilutive.
For the three months and year ended December 31,
2018, the Company's basic weighted average number of shares was
46,382,795 and 34,824,311, respectively. The weighted average
number of shares, both diluted and under the if-converted method,
were anti-dilutive for the three months and year ended December 31,
2018, respectively, as the Company incurred net losses.
As of the date hereof, the Convertible Notes due
2019 and Convertible Notes due 2022 are not eligible for
conversion.

Explanation of Variances on the Fourth
Quarter of 2018 Financial Results Compared to the Fourth Quarter of
2017
For the three months ended December 31, 2018,
the Company recorded a net loss of $17.7 million compared to a net
loss of $41.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017.
The following were the significant changes between the two
periods:
- TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is
vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port
charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard
shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare
period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance
irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot
charters, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful
information to investors and management. The following table
depicts TCE revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018
and 2017:

- TCE revenue for the three months ended
December 31, 2018 increased $21.8 million to $167.2 million, from
$145.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. This
increase was the result of an improvement in TCE revenue per day,
which increased to $15,008 per day during the three months ended
December 31, 2018, from $12,805 per day during the three months
ended December 31, 2017. The fourth quarter of 2018,
particularly November and December, reflected a dramatic
improvement in the product tanker market, which had experienced
significant headwinds since the latter half of 2016. The
positive trends developed as a result of a confluence of factors,
including (i) increased U.S. Gulf exports to Latin America, (ii)
the opening of arbitrage windows on several trading routes, (iii)
the reduction of oil prices followed by a reduction in refined
commodities leading to an increase in demand for refined
commodities, (iv) the continued drawdown of global product
inventories thus increasing the need for imports at the points of
consumption, and (v) strength in the crude tanker market earlier in
the quarter resulting in certain product tankers transitioning to
the trading of crude and related cargos. This increase in TCE
revenue per day was partially offset by a reduction of the
Company's fleet to an average of 121.9 operating vessels during the
three months ended December 31, 2018 from an average of 125.5
operating vessels during the three months ended December 31, 2017,
which was the result of the redelivery of 10 time chartered-in
vessels throughout 2018.
- Vessel operating costs for the three
months ended December 31, 2018 decreased $3.6 million to $71.2
million, from $74.8 million for the three months ended December 31,
2017. This decrease was primarily due to take over costs that
the Company incurred for 10 vessels acquired from NPTI that
transitioned technical management during the three months ended
December 31, 2017. These costs included additional crew
severance and repatriation costs along with the costs for new
spares, stores and other supplies. No such costs were
incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2018.This
decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average number
of owned and bareboat chartered-in vessels for the three months
ended December 31, 2018 to 119.0 vessels from 116.7 vessels for the
three months ended December 31, 2017, which is due to the delivery
of two vessels under the Company's newbuilding program during the
first quarter of 2018.
- Charterhire expense for the three
months ended December 31, 2018 decreased $7.3 million to $10.6
million, from $18.0 million for the three months ended December 31,
2017. This decrease was the result of a decrease in the
number of time chartered-in vessels during those periods. The
Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet consisted of an
average of 2.9 time chartered-in vessels and 10.0 bareboat
chartered-in vessels for the three months ended December 31, 2018,
and the Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet consisted of
an average of 8.8 time chartered-in vessels and 10.0 bareboat
chartered-in vessels for the three months ended December 31,
2017. The average daily base rates on the Company's time
chartered-in fleet during the three months ended December 31, 2018
and December 31, 2017 were $13,517 per vessel per day and
$13,681 per vessel per day, respectively. The average daily
base rates for the Company's bareboat chartered-in fleet during the
three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017
were $7,656 per vessel per day and $7,362 per vessel per day,
respectively.
- Depreciation expense for the three
months ended December 31, 2018 increased $1.1 million to $44.6
million, from $43.5 million for the three months ended December 31,
2017. This increase was primarily driven by the delivery of
two MRs under the Company's newbuilding program in January
2018.
- Financial expenses for the three
months ended December 31, 2018 increased $9.5 million to $48.2
million, from $38.6 million for the three months ended December 31,
2017. The increase in financial expenses was primarily a result of
(i) increases in LIBOR rates as compared to the three months ended
December 31, 2017, (ii) an increase in the Company's average debt
to $2.9 billion during the three months ended December 31, 2018
from $2.8 billion during the three months ended December 31, 2017
as a result of the Company's previously announced refinancing
initiatives and (iii) increased borrowing costs associated with the
Company's lease financing arrangements that were entered into
during 2018.

(1) The dilutive effect of (i) unvested
shares of restricted stock and (ii) the potentially dilutive
securities relating to the Company's Convertible Notes due 2019 and
Convertible Notes due 2022 were excluded from the computation of
diluted earnings per share for the three months and year ended
December 31, 2018 because their effect would have been
anti-dilutive. Weighted average shares under the if-converted
method (which includes the potential dilutive effect of the
unvested shares of restricted stock, the Convertible Notes due
2019, and the Convertible Notes due 2022) were 53,232,552 and
40,788,217 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018,
respectively.

(1) Accumulated deficit reflects the impact
of the adoption of IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
which is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1,
2018. The standard may be applied retrospectively to each
prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative
effect recognized as of the date of adoption (the "modified
retrospective method"). We have applied the modified retrospective
method upon the date of transition. Accordingly, the
cumulative effect of the application of this standard resulted in a
$3,888 reduction in the opening balance of Accumulated deficit on
January 1, 2018.

(1) See Non-IFRS Measures section below.(2) Freight rates are
commonly measured in the shipping industry in terms of time charter
equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is calculated by
subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges,
from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time charter
equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the period.
Revenue days are the number of days the vessel is owned or
chartered-in less the number of days the vessel is off-hire for
drydock and repairs.(3) Vessel operating costs per day represent
vessel operating costs divided by the number of operating days
during the period. Operating days are the total number of available
days in a period with respect to the owned or bareboat chartered-in
vessels, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and
days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only
applicable to our owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in
vessels, not our time chartered-in vessels.

Non-IFRS Measures
Reconciliation of IFRS Financial
Information to Non-IFRS Financial Information
This press release describes time charter
equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss and
adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance with
IFRS (i.e. "Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are
presented in this press release as we believe that they provide
investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our
lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the
Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance.
These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from,
as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS.
The Company believes that the presentation of time
charter equivalent revenue, adjusted net income or loss with
adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and
adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors or other users of our
financial statements, such as our lenders, because they facilitate
the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Company’s
industry. In addition, the Company believes that time charter
equivalent revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted
earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA
are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that
of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s
definitions of time charter equivalent revenue, adjusted net income
or loss with the adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and
diluted, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by
other companies in the shipping industry or other industries.
Time charter equivalent revenue is reconciled
above in the section entitled 'Explanation of Variances on the
Fourth Quarter of 2018 Financial Results Compared to the Fourth
Quarter of 2017'.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may
constitute forward‐looking statements. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for
forward‐looking statements in order to encourage companies to
provide prospective information about their business.
Forward‐looking statements include statements concerning plans,
objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and
underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than
statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take
advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary
statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The
words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “target,” “project,” “likely,” “may,” “will,” “would,”
“could” and similar expressions identify forward‐looking
statements.
The forward‐looking statements in this press
release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are
based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without
limitation, management’s examination of historical operating
trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data
available from third parties. Although management believes that
these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these
assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are
beyond the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that the
Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or
projections. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically
declines any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly
update or revise any forward‐looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to these important factors, other
important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward‐looking statements include, unforeseen liabilities, future
capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies,
economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses,
future prospects, business and management strategies for the
management, expansion and growth of the Company’s operations, risks
relating to the integration of assets or operations of entities
that it has or may in the future acquire and the possibility that
the anticipated synergies and other benefits of such acquisitions
may not be realized within expected timeframes or at all, the
failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with the
Company, the strength of world economies and currencies, general
market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and
vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity,
changes in the Company’s operating expenses, including bunker
prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for the
Company’s vessels, availability of financing and refinancing,
charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and
comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, 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,
vessels breakdowns and instances of off‐hires, and other factors.
Please see the Company's filings with the SEC for a more complete
discussion of certain of these and other risks and
uncertainties.
