International Seaways, Inc. Segments Disclosure
NOTE 4 — BUSINESS AND SEGMENT REPORTING:
The Company is engaged primarily in the ocean transportation of crude oil and petroleum products in the international market through the ownership and operation of a diversified fleet of vessels. The shipping industry has many distinct market segments based, in large part, on the size and design configuration of vessels required and, in some cases, on the flag of registry. Rates in each market segment are determined by a variety of factors affecting the supply and demand for vessels to move cargoes in the trades for which they are suited. Tankers are not bound to specific ports or schedules and therefore can respond to market opportunities by moving between trades and geographical areas. The Company charters its vessels to commercial shippers and foreign governments and governmental agencies primarily on voyage charters and on time charters.
The Company has two reportable segments: Crude Tankers and Product Carriers. The Crude Tankers segment aggregates the Company’s VLCC, Suezmax, Aframax, and Lightering operating segments. The Product Carriers segment aggregates LR2, LR1, and MR operating segments. The accounting policies followed by the reportable segments are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), evaluates segment performance based on adjusted income from vessel operations, which for segment reporting is defined as income from vessel operations before general and administrative expenses, other operating expenses, third-party debt modification fees, and gain on disposal of vessels and other property, net of impairments. These and other centrally managed items such as interest expense, net and taxes, are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by management. In making resource allocation decisions, the CODM reviews budget-to-actual variances of TCE revenues and vessel expenses (as these are quantitatively the primary drivers of each segment’s adjusted income from vessel operations), short-term and long-term market trends, current and projected vessel values and forecasts.
Information about the Company’s reportable segments as of and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025 follows:

Time charter equivalent revenues | $ | 819,614 | $ | 933,103 | $ | 1,055,519 | |||

Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses time charter equivalent 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.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
