EuroDry Ltd. Reports Results for the Year and Quarter Ended December 31, 2024

ATHENS, Greece, Feb. 24, 2025 (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 twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2024. Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights: Total net revenues of $14.5 million.Net loss attributable to controlling shareholders, of $3.3 million or $1.20 loss per share basic and diluted.Adjusted net loss1 attributable to controlling shareholders, for the quarter of $0.7 million, or, $0.25 per share basic and diluted which excludes among other items an impairment charge of $2.8 million on one of our vessels.Adjusted EBITDA1 was $4.8 million.An average of 13.0 vessels were owned and operated during the fourth quarter of 2024 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $12,201 per day.To date, about $5.3 million has been used to repurchase 334,674 shares of the Company, under our share repurchase plan of up to $10 million, announced in August 2022. Recent developments: In November 2024, the Company signed two contracts with Nantong Xiangyu Shipbuilding for the construction of two 63,500 DWT ultramax bulk carriers. Both vessels are geared, eco, and are built to EEDI phase 3 design standard. The two newbuildings are scheduled to be delivered during the second and third quarters of 2027. The total consideration for the two newbuilding contracts is approximately $71.8 million and will be financed with a combination of debt and equity.The Company on January 29, 2025, signed an agreement to sell M/V Tasos, a 75,100 dwt drybulk vessel, built in 2000, for demolition, for approximately $5 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered to its buyers, an unaffiliated third party, until early-March 2025, upon completion of her present charter. As a result of the vessel sale, we expect to record a gain of approximately $2.1million. Full Year 2024 Highlights: Total net revenues of $61.1 million. Net loss attributable to controlling shareholders, of $9.7 million, or $3.54 loss per share basic and diluted.Adjusted net loss1 attributable to controlling shareholders, for the period was $8.2 million or $3.02 adjusted loss per share basic and diluted.Adjusted EBITDA1 was $12.4 million.An average of 13.0 vessels were owned and operated during the twelve months of 2024 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $13,039 per day. Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of EuroDry commented: “During the last couple of months of 2024 and during January and February of 2025, the drybulk market dropped to rates not seen since the early days of the COVID pandemic and touched decade-long lows last seen in 2016. It appears that a combination of low trade volumes due to low demand from China combined with a record low percentage of the fleet tied up in ports more than counterbalanced the low fleet growth during the period. There is some expectation, though, that the various stimuli packages released by the Chinese government during the fourth quarter of 2024 would start showing results in the near future; such stimuli combined with the typical seasonal recovery of the drybulk markets during the second quarter could lead to a noticeable recovery of the charter rates as already indicated by the forward (“FFA”) market. “The low market of the fourth quarter was reflected in our results for the period although our vessels achieved better charters than market averages indicate. And while the low market of January and February 2025 will affect our first quarter results, we expect a recovery of the market in March and during the second quarter of 2025 to return us to profitability as our fleet is positioned to take full advantage of it having passed most drydockings in 2024. At the same time, as prices for vessels have also weakened, we are diligent in searching for potential investment opportunities; and to help finance such opportunities should they arise, we have committed to sell our eldest vessel M/V Tasos, as we recently announced.” Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of EuroDry commented: “In the fourth quarter of 2024 the Company operated an average of 13.0 vessels, versus 12.2 vessels during the same period last year. Our net revenues decreased to $14.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $15.9 million during the same period of last year. Our vessels earned in the fourth quarter of 2024 approximately 16.3% lower time charter equivalent rates compared to the corresponding period of 2023. At the same time, total daily vessel operating expenses, including management fees, general and administrative expenses but excluding drydocking costs, during the fourth quarter of 2024, averaged $7,087 per vessel per day, as compared to $7,340 for the same period of last year and $6,967 per vessel per day for the year 2024 as compared to $7,131 per vessel per day for the same period of 2023. The decreased total vessel operating expenses in the recent periods are attributable to the significantly lower daily general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the same period of 2023 included additional costs incurred in relation to the formation of a partnership with a number of investors represented by NRP Project Finance AS (“NRP Investors”) regarding the ownership of the entities owning M/V Christos K and M/V Maria (the “Partnership”). “Adjusted EBITDA during the fourth quarter of 2024 was $4.8 million versus $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of last year, and $12.4 million versus $14.6 million for the respective twelve-month periods of 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, our outstanding debt (excluding the unamortized loan fees) was $108.2 million versus unrestricted and restricted cash of $11.9 million. As of the same date, our scheduled debt repayments over the next 12 months amounted to about $12.1 million (excluding the unamortized loan fees).” Fourth Quarter 2024 Results:For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company reported total net revenues of $14.5 million representing a 8.8% decrease over total net revenues of $15.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. This was the result of the lower time charter rates our vessels earned in the fourth quarter of 2024, partly offset by the higher average number of vessels operated compared to the same period of 2023. On average, 13.0 vessels were owned and operated during the fourth quarter of 2024 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $12,201 per day compared to 12.2 vessels in the same period of 2023 earning on average $14,570 per day. For the fourth quarter of 2024, voyage expenses, net amounted to $0.9 million and mainly relate to vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during operational off-hire time. For the same period of 2023 voyage expenses net amounted to $0.6 million. Vessel operating expenses were $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to $6.1 million for the same period of 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased number of vessels operating in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. Depreciation expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 amounted to $3.5 million, as compared to $3.2 million for the same period of 2023. This increase is again due to the higher number of vessels operating in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $0.8 million compared to $1.2 million of the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease is mainly attributable to an additional cost of $0.44 million that was incurred during the last quarter of 2023 in relation to the formation of the Partnership. Related party management fees for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased to $1.1 million from $1.0 million for the same period of 2023 as a result of an adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2024, increasing the daily vessel management fee from 775 Euros to 810 Euros, as well as the increased number of vessels operating in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023, partly offset by the favorable movement of the euro/dollar exchange rate. During the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023, none of our vessels underwent drydocking. The total cost for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023 of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, relates to drydocking expenses incurred in relation to upcoming drydockings. In the fourth quarter of 2024 the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.8 million. The impairment was booked to reduce the carrying amount of a drybulk vessel (M/V “Santa Cruz”) to its estimated market value, since based on the Company’s impairment test results it was determined that its carrying amount was not recoverable. No such cost existed in the fourth quarter of 2023. Interest and other financing costs for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased to $1.9 million as compared to $2.0 million for the same period of 2023. Interest expense during the fourth quarter of 2024 was slightly lower mainly due to the slightly decreased benchmark rates of our loans, partly offset by the increased average debt during the period as compared to the same period of last year. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain on an interest rate swap of $0.25 million, as compared to a loss on an interest rate swap of $0.25 million and a loss on forward freight agreement (“FFA”) contracts of $1.3 million for the same period of 2023. Interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 amounted to $0.03 million compared to $0.16 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in interest income is attributable to lower cash balances maintained during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The Company reported a net loss for the period of $3.1 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the period of $3.3 million, as compared to a net loss of $0.03 million and a net income attributable to controlling shareholders of $0.3 million for the same period of 2023. The net income attributable to the non-controlling interest of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 represents the income attributable to the 39% ownership of the Partnership. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $4.8 million compared to $6.6 million achieved during the fourth quarter of 2023. Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $1.20 calculated on 2,737,162 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to earnings per share of $0.13, calculated on 2,731,088 basic and 2,760,685 diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding the effect on the net loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the quarter of the unrealized loss / (gain) on derivatives and the impairment loss on a vessel, the adjusted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 would have been $0.25 basic and diluted, compared to adjusted earnings of $0.71 and $0.70 per share basic and diluted, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Usually, security analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of earnings per share. Full Year 2024 Results:For the full year of 2024, the Company reported total net revenues of $61.1 million representing a 28.3% increase over total net revenues of $47.6 million during the twelve months of 2023, as a result of the increased number of vessels operated during the year and the slightly higher time charter equivalent rates earned by our vessels in the twelve months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. On average, 13.0 vessels were owned and operated during the twelve months of 2024 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $13,039 per day compared to 10.6 vessels in the same period of 2023 earning on average $12,528 per day. For the twelve months of 2024, voyage expenses, net, were $6.1 million and mainly relate to vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during operational off-hire time. For the same period of 2023, voyage expenses, net, were $4.0 million and mainly relate to expenses incurred by one of our vessels while employed under a voyage charter, vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during the detention of one of our vessels in Corpus Christi. Vessel operating expenses were $25.7 million for the twelve months of 2024 as compared to $20.8 million for the same period of 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased number of vessels operating in 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. Depreciation expense for the year 2024 was $13.9 million compared to $11.0 million during the same period of 2023, again, mainly due to the higher number of vessels operating in the same period. Related party management fees for the year of 2024 were increased to $4.2 million from $3.3 million for the same period of 2023 as a result of an adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2024, increasing the daily vessel management fee from 775 Euros to 810 Euros and the increased number of vessels operated. General and administrative expenses during the twelve months of 2024 were $3.3 million compared to $3.5 million during the same period in 2023. The decrease is attributable to an additional cost of $0.44 million that was incurred during the last quarter of 2023 in relation to the formation of the Partnership, partly offset by the increased cost of our stock incentive plan in 2024. During the twelve months of 2023, we recorded a provision of $0.5 million for anticipated costs related to the detention of one of our vessels in Corpus Christi presented as other operating loss. In 2023, we wrote-off certain trade receivables by recording a bad debt expense of $0.1 million. In 2024, we had no bad debt expense. In the twelve months of 2024, seven of our vessels completed their special survey with drydocking for a total cost of $8.5 million. In the twelve months of 2023, three of our vessels completed their special or intermediate survey with drydocking and one vessel passed her intermediate survey in water (in lieu of drydock), for a total cost of $3.4 million. Interest and other financing costs for the twelve months of 2024 amounted to $8.0 million compared to $6.5 million for the same period of 2023. Interest expense for the twelve months of 2024 was higher due to the increased average debt as compared to the same period of last year. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a $0.1 million unrealized gain and a $0.2 million realized gain on one interest rate swap, as well as a 1.3 million unrealized gain and a $1.0 million realized loss on FFA contracts as compared to a $1.9 million unrealized loss and a $1.9 million realized gain on interest rate swaps, as well as a 1.3 million unrealized loss and a $2.5 million realized gain on FFA contracts for the same period of 2023. Interest income for 2024 amounted to $0.1 million compared to $0.9 million interest income for the same period of 2023. The decrease of interest income is attributable to lower cash balances maintained during the twelve months of 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The Company reported a net loss for the period of $10.6 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $9.7 million, as compared to a net loss of $3.3 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $2.9 million, for the same period of 2023. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $0.9 million in 2024 represents the loss attributable to the 39% ownership of the Partnership. Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months of 2024 was $12.4 million compared to $14.6 million achieved during the twelve months of 2023. Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders for the twelve months of 2024 was $3.54, calculated on 2,727,698 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to basic and diluted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders for the twelve months of 2023 of $1.05, calculated on 2,763,121 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding. Excluding the effect on the net loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the year of the unrealized loss / (gain) on derivatives and the impairment loss on a vessel, the adjusted loss per share attributable to controlling shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2024 would have been $3.02 basic and diluted, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.12 basic and diluted for the same period of 2023. As previously mentioned, usually, security analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of earnings per share.

(2) Calendar days. We define calendar days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was owned by us 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 Calendar days in a period 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 rate, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily net revenue performance of our vessels. Our method of calculating TCE is determined by dividing time charter revenue and voyage charter revenue 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 provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with time charter revenue and voyage charter revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because we believe that it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. 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, pool agreements 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) We calculate daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs and related party management fees by dividing vessel operating expenses and related party management fees by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. Drydocking expenses are reported separately. (13) Daily general and administrative expenses are calculated by us by dividing general and administrative expenses 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. We compute TVOE as the sum of vessel operating expenses, related party management fees and 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) Daily drydocking expenses are calculated by us by dividing drydocking expenses by the fleet calendar days for the relevant period. Drydocking expenses include expenses during drydockings that would have been capitalized and amortized under the deferral method. 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 does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its financial performance because the Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, financial costs, unrealized loss / (gain) on FFAs, loss / (gain) on interest rate swap derivatives, depreciation and impairment loss.
