What are the key risks highlighted by management—such as regulatory, environmental, or geopolitical factors—that could influence future results?

Based on the excerpt that was provided in the news release, no specific risk factors were enumerated by International Seaways’ management. The portion of the release that is visible contains only the headline financial results (net income, adjusted net income, etc.) and a brief “highlights & recent developments” section; it does not include the customary discussion of risks that typically appears later in an earnings release (e.g., regulatory, environmental, or geopolitical considerations).

Therefore, from the information supplied we cannot point to any particular regulatory, environmental, or geopolitical risks that management highlighted as influences on future results. If you need those details, you would have to consult the full earnings release (often attached as a PDF or included in the “Management Discussion and Analysis” section of the filing) where the company normally outlines:

• Regulatory risk – potential changes in maritime, safety, or emissions regulations;
• Environmental risk – exposure to oil‑spill liability, stricter environmental standards, or requirements for low‑sulfur fuel;
• Geopolitical risk – exposure to sanctions, trade restrictions, or disruptions in key shipping regions (e.g., the Middle East, the Red Sea, or the Strait of Hormuz).

These are the types of factors that most tanker operators cite, but they are not explicitly mentioned in the portion of the International Seaways Q2 2025 results you provided. To obtain a comprehensive list of the company‑identified risks, you would need to review the complete earnings release or the accompanying Form 10‑Q/10‑K filing.
