EuroDry Ltd. Reports Results for the Nine-Month Period and Quarter Ended September 30, 2018
MAROUSSI, ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EuroDry Ltd. (NASDAQ: EDRY, the “Company” or “EuroDry”), an owner and operator of drybulk vessels and provider of seaborne transportation for drybulk cargoes, announced today its results for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2018. Euroseas Ltd. (“Euroseas” or “Former Parent Company”) contributed to the Company its drybulk fleet of six vessels, one Ultramax and two Kamsarmax vessels built between 2016 and 2018, and three Japanese-built Panamax vessels built between 2000 and 2004 (the “Spin-off”). The Company was spun-off from Euroseas Ltd. on May 30, 2018. The results below refer to the above fleet for the periods presented.
Third Quarter 2018 Highlights:
- Total net revenues of $6.8 million. Net income of $1.7 million; net earnings attributable to common shareholders (after a $0.2 million dividend on Series B Preferred Shares) of $1.4 million or $0.63 earnings per share basic and diluted. Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders1 for the period was $1.4 million or $0.62 per share basic and diluted.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 was $3.8 million.
- An average of 6.0 vessels were owned and operated during the third quarter of 2018 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $13,839 per day.
- The Company declared its second dividend of $0.2 million on its Series B Preferred Shares; the dividend was paid in-kind by issuing additional Series B Preferred Shares.
1Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share are not recognized measurements under US GAAP (GAAP) and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for EuroDry’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Refer to a subsequent section of the Press Release for the definitions and reconciliation of these measurements to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Recent Developments
The Company recently announced that it signed a memorandum of agreement to acquire M/V Star of Nippon (to be renamed M/V Starlight), a panamax size drybulk carrier of 75,845 dwt built in 2004 in Japan. The vessel is expected to be delivered to the Company by the end of November 2018. The Company expects to finance the acquisition with funds on hand and debt which it is in the process of arranging; additionally, as previously announced, the Company is in the customary documentation phase to complete the refinancing of certain of its Panamax vessels.
Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of EuroDry commented: “Since EuroDry started operating as a separately listed public company in May 2018, we have focused on positioning the Company to capitalize on market opportunities. By refinancing certain of our debt, we have raised the required funds to pursue selected vessel acquisitions like the recently announced M/V Star of Nippon.
We expect that the drybulk markets could offer opportunities for realizing significant returns in the medium term as the fleet supply is expected to grow only modestly in the next 2-3 years leaving the focus on trade demand developments, which partly depend on geopolitical factors. With the effects of the implementation of the emissions and ballast water treatment regulations over the next two years possibly further squeezing vessel supply, a solid trade demand growth could create a very rewarding market environment for vessel owners.
“At the same time, EuroDry’s stock continues to trade at a significant discount to its NAV. This discount, we believe, will start shrinking as the performance of EuroDry is appreciated by the public markets and our fleet grows, either through single vessel acquisitions like the recent one or by exploiting our public platform to consolidate other fleets, thus offering additional returns to our shareholders.”
Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of EuroDry commented: “The results of the third quarter of 2018 reflect the improved rates most of our vessels earned as a result of the recovering state of the drybulk market. Comparing our results for the third quarter of 2018 with the same period of 2017, our net revenues increased by about $1.5 million and we also incurred significantly lower voyage expenses. Operating expenses, including management fees and general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.9 million as compared to the third quarter of 2017. This was mainly due to the operation of 6.0 vessels during the third quarter of 2018 versus 5.0 vessels during the same period of last year; on a per-vessel-per-day basis, operating expenses, including management fees and general and administrative expenses increased by 15.4% during the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 which was primarily attributable to higher general and administrative expenses per-vessel-per-day due to the operation of the Company as a separate public company following the completion of the Spin-off. We believe that we maintain one of the lowest operating cost structures amongst the public shipping companies which is one of our competitive advantages.
“Adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter of 2018 was $3.8 compared to $2.3 million achieved for the third quarter of last year. Finally, as of September 30, 2018, our outstanding debt (excluding the unamortized loan fees) is about $51.8 million versus restricted and unrestricted cash of about $5.1 million.”
Third Quarter 2018 Results:
For the third quarter of 2018, the Company reported total net revenues of $6.8 million representing a 27.2% increase over total net revenues of $5.3 million during the third quarter of 2017 which was the result of the increased average number of vessels and the increase in the average time charter equivalent rate our vessels earned due to increase in dry bulk market rates. The Company reported net income for the period of $1.7 million and net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.4 million, as compared to net income and net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.7 million for the same period of 2017. Depreciation expenses for the third quarter of 2018 amounted to $1.4 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2017. Increased general and administrative expenses reflected mainly the operation of the Company as a separate public company following the completion of the Spin-off.
Interest and other financing costs for the third quarter of 2018 amounted to $0.8 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period of 2017. Interest during the third quarter of 2018 was higher due to higher debt and higher Libor during the period as compared to the same period of last year.
On average, 6.0 vessels were owned and operated during the third quarter of 2018 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $13,839 per day compared to 5.0 vessels in the same period of 2017 earning on average $11,109 per day.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2018 was $3.8 million compared to $2.3 million achieved during the third quarter of 2017.
Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2018 was $0.63 calculated on 2,236,785 basic and 2,238,442 diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.29 for the third quarter of 2017, calculated on 2,218,734 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Excluding the effect on the earnings attributable to common shareholders for the quarter of the gain / loss on derivatives, the adjusted earnings attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 would have been $0.62 per share basic and diluted compared to adjusted earnings of $0.29 per share basic and diluted for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Usually, security analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of earnings per share.

(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted the Company’s fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of calendar days each vessel was a part of the Company’s 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 incl. 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 a vessel is idle without 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 or are sailing for repositioning purposes.
(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 days 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 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, or are related to repositioning the vessel for the next charter. 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. Our definition of TCE may not be comparable to that used by other companies in the shipping industry.
(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 other 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, management fees and other general and administrative expenses; drydocking expenses are not included. 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. The Company expenses drydocking expenses as incurred.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation:EuroDry Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net income / (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and gain / loss on derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income / (loss), as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

EuroDry Ltd. considers “Adjusted net income / (loss)” to represent net income / (loss) before gain / loss on derivatives. “Adjusted net income / (loss)” and “Adjusted earnings / (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 income / (loss)” and “Adjusted earnings / (loss) per share” do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income / (loss) or earnings / (loss) per share, as determined by GAAP.
