Teekay Corporation reported profitable third quarter results, which were again driven by the performance of its main consolidated subsidiary, Teekay Tankers. In recent months, TK has executed significant share buybacks and increased its stake in Teekay Tankers. The company also announced a new $40 million share repurchase program. In addition, a $1 special cash dividend will be distributed to common shareholders next month.
In recent months, seasonality has impacted dirty tanker rates. Besides that, China's crude imports declined. On the other hand, tanker supply fundamentals are still favorable. Teekay Tankers reported $52.4 million operating income for 3Q24, a 35% lower figure than 3Q23. 3Q24 net income is $58.8 million, and 3Q24 EPS is $1.69/share. The balance sheet is TNK's strength. The company has 3.1% Total Debt to Equity and 8.9% Total Liabilities to Total Assets.
Teekay Corporation Ltd. (NYSE:TK ) Q3 2024 Earnings Conference Call October 31, 2024 11:00 AM ET Company Participants Kenneth Hvid - President & Chief Executive Officer Brody Speers - Chief Financial Officer Conference Call Participants Jon Chappell - Evercore Omar Nokta - Jefferies Ken Hoexter - Bank of America Operator Welcome to the Teekay Group Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Results Conference Call.
Teekay Tankers stock dropped 12% after Q2-2024 results, but financial health remains strong. Q2-2024 revenues dropped by 20% due to decreasing tanker spot day rates. Teekay Tankers benefits from historically high spot rates and a favorable market outlook despite risks from fleet age and oil demand fluctuations.
In recent months, shares of Teekay Corporation have performed worse than its main consolidated subsidiary Teekay Tankers, thus resulting in a widened discount to net asset value. While tanker stocks have been under pressure as of late, industry prospects remain solid. With the discount to net asset value now above the long-standing 10% to 20% range, I would expect the company to resume share repurchases soon.
