International Seaways Q1 Revenue Hits $325.5M, Dividend Doubled to $4.55
Reports Q1 revenue $325.5M, consensus $274.26M. Lois K. Zabrocky, International Seaways President and CEO commented, "We delivered an excellent first quarter, our strongest since the fourth quarter of 2022, with meaningful contributions from both our crude and product tankers. Following the highest dividend in our history last quarter, we more than doubled our dividend this quarter to $4.55 per share by increasing our payout ratio to 85% of adjusted earnings and including an additional discretionary component that reflects the strength of today's market and the performance we've built over time. With a robust balance sheet, nearly $1 billion of liquidity, and a notably strong start to the second quarter, we remain well positioned to continue delivering attractive returns and creating long-term value for our shareholders."
