Shareholders' Rights Offering
The Company's board of directors has determined that the record date for the previously announced rights offering will be August 14, 2015. Subject to receiving timely approval of the registration statement that the Company has filed with the SEC in connection with the rights offering, the Company expects to begin the rights offering and mail the pertinent information to its shareholders on August 24, 2015. The rights offering will be made pursuant to a prospectus, which will contain all of the terms of the offering as well as instructions on the exercise process.
Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas commented: "We were pleased to see a recovery of the containership market during the second quarter of this year, which allowed us to re-charter several of our containerships at levels that generate positive cash flows. Furthermore, late in the quarter and during the month of July, drybulk rates also improved. While the near term supply/demand balance is challenging, especially, for the drybulk market, these rate increases took place at periods with traditionally seasonally low rates and may be an indication of a better overall rate environment. We have adjusted our chartering strategy to take advantage of charter opportunities and charter a couple of our vessels for one year periods. At the same time we are pursuing our strategy to expand and renew our drybulk fleet by taking delivery of our four bulkers currently under construction. We have decided to proceed with a shareholders' rights offering to raise between $10-20m to ensure that we have access to sufficient equity and debt to finance the remaining portion of our newbuilding program, even under a poor market scenario. As always maintaining a strong balance sheet even at adverse periods remains our priority and the rights offering which provides our existing shareholders including our family the opportunity to participate in setting the foundations for the company's further growth was deemed as the best way to reward shareholder loyalty."
Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of Euroseas commented: "The results of the second quarter of 2015 reflect the still low but improved levels of the containership and drybulk markets compared to the same quarter of 2014.
"Total daily vessel operating expenses, including management fees, general and administrative expenses but excluding drydocking costs, averaged $6,145 per vessel per day during the second quarter of 2015 as compared to $6,449 per vessel per day for the same quarter of last year, and $6,342 per vessel per day for the first half of 2015 as compared to $6,398 per vessel per day for the same period of 2014, reflecting a 4.7% and 0.9% decline, respectively. As always, we want to emphasize that cost control remains a key component of our strategy.
"As of June 30, 2015, our outstanding debt was $49.8 million versus restricted and unrestricted cash of about $21.2 million. As of the same date, our scheduled debt repayments over the next 12 months amount to about $18.6 million, inclusive of about $8.8 million of balloon repayments which may be refinanced. All our debt covenants are satisfied."
Second Quarter 2015 Results: For the second quarter of 2015, the Company reported total net revenues of $9.4 million representing a 2.8% decrease over total net revenues of $9.6 million during the second quarter of 2014. The Company reported net loss for the period of $3.3 million and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $3.7 million, as compared to net loss of $5.0 million and $5.4 million respectively, for the second quarter of 2014. The results for the second quarter of 2015 include a $0.1 million unrealized gain on derivatives, a $0.1 million realized loss on derivatives, as compared to $0.2 million unrealized gain on derivatives, a $0.2 million realized loss on derivatives for the same period of 2014. Drydocking expenses amounted to $0.4 million during the second quarter of the year 2015 as three vessels underwent in-water surveys (in lieu of drydock) compared to three vessels that underwent drydocking during the second quarter of 2014 for a total amount of $1.3 million. Depreciation expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $2.9 million compared to $3.0 million during the same period of 2014. On average, 15.0 vessels were owned and operated during the second quarter of 2015 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $7,127 per day compared to 14.4 vessels in the same period of 2014 earning on average $7,373 per day.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 was $(0.1) million compared to $(1.6) million achieved during the second quarter of 2014. Please see below for Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to net loss and cash flow provided by operating activities.
Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2015 was $0.64(2) calculated on 5,784,025(2) basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.95(2) for the second quarter of 2014, calculated on 5,688,812(2) basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Excluding the effect, on the loss attributable to common shareholders, for the quarter of the unrealized gain on derivatives and the realized loss on derivatives, the adjusted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 would have been $0.65(2) per share basic and diluted compared to net loss of $0.94(2) per share basic and diluted for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of calendar days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.
(2) Calendar days. We define calendar days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during that period.
(3) The scheduled off-hire days including vessels laid-up are days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up.
(4) Available days. We define available days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession net of scheduled off-hire days including days of vessels laid-up. We use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels were available to generate revenues.
(5) Commercial off-hire days. We define commercial off-hire days as days waiting to find employment.
(6) Operational off-hire days. We define operational off-hire days as days associated with unscheduled repairs or other off-hire time related to the operation of the vessels.
(7) Voyage days. We define voyage days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession net of commercial and operational off-hire days. We use voyage days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.
(8) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our voyage days during a period by the number of our available days during that period. We use fleet utilization to measure a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons such as unscheduled repairs or days waiting to find employment.
(9) Fleet utilization, commercial. We calculate commercial fleet utilization by dividing our available days net of commercial off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.
(10) Fleet utilization, operational. We calculate operational fleet utilization by dividing our available net of operational off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.
(11) Time charter equivalent, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of calculating TCE is determined by dividing revenue generated from voyage charters net of voyage expenses by voyage days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract. TCE is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyage charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods.
(12) Daily vessel operating expenses, which includes crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs and management fees are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. Drydocking expenses are reported separately.
(13) Daily general and administrative expense is calculated by dividing general and administrative expense by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.
(14) Total vessel operating expenses, or TVOE, is a measure of our total expenses associated with operating our vessels. TVOE is the sum of vessel operating expenses excluding drydocking expenses and general and administrative expenses. Daily TVOE is calculated by dividing TVOE by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.
(15) Drydocking expenses, which include expenses during drydockings that would have been capitalized and amortized under the deferral method divided by the fleet calendar days for the relevant period. Drydocking expenses could vary substantially from period to period depending on how many vessels underwent drydocking during the period.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation: Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net earnings / (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, gain / loss in derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income /(loss) or cash flow from operations, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and the Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its financial performance and liquidity position and because the Company believes that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.

"Adjusted net loss" and "Adjusted net loss per share" Reconciliation:
Euroseas Ltd. considers "Adjusted net loss" to represent net loss before gain / loss on derivatives. "Adjusted net loss" and "Adjusted net loss per share" is included herein because we believe it assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of the Company's fundamental performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of gain / loss on derivatives, which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods.
"Adjusted Net loss" and "Adjusted net loss per share" do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or loss per share, as determined by U.S. GAAP, The Company's definition of "Adjusted net loss" and "Adjusted net loss per share" may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.
