Tim Chang's questions to TEEKAY TANKERS (TNK) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Tim Chang, on behalf of Bank of America, inquired if the anticipated tanker rate uplift from OPEC+ production increases would primarily materialize in Q4 2025 due to Q3 seasonality. He also asked for an explanation of the significant increase in 'other revenue' and its expected run rate.
Answer
Christian Waldegrave, Director of Research, confirmed that increased oil volumes from the Middle East, Guyana, and Brazil, combined with winter seasonality and geopolitical factors, are expected to support stronger rates in the latter part of the year. CFO Brody Speers explained that 'other revenue' was elevated by a one-time $6 million charge related to an expired FPSO contract, which is not expected to recur.
