June 10, 2025 16:15 ET  | Source: Heidmar ATHENS and NEW YORK, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heidmar Maritime Holdings Corp. (the "Company" or "Heidmar") (NASDAQ: HMR) today reported its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. First Quarter 2025 Highlights Total net revenues of $5.8 million. Net loss attributable to shareholders of $6.0 million or $0.1 per share Adjusted net income(1)attributable to shareholders for the quarter of $875,194 or $0.02 income per share, excluding non-cash expense of $3.9 million relating to the fair value of the earnout shares that will be issued to certain of the Company's shareholders upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the business combination agreement with MGO Global Inc, the non-cash bonus of stock based compensation of $1.5 million and the amortization of Heidmar’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan of $1.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA (1)of $1.2 million. (1)Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders and Adjusted income per share attributable to shareholders are not measurements recognized under US GAAP (GAAP) and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for Heidmar’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” later in this Press Release for the definitions and reconciliation of these measurements to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.   FIRST QUARTER 2025 RESULTS COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2024 The total revenues earned mainly from commissions, management fees and time charter hires were $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, down $2.8 million from $8.6 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the number of vessels under management and the termination of two time-charter syndication agreements. Pankaj Khanna, Chief Executive Officer of Heidmar, commented: "Q1 is the first quarter we are releasing our results after the business acquisition with MGO and the results reflect the accounting treatment of the deal, annual performance bonuses and the long-term equity incentive plan. Excluding these effects, the business environment was quite challenging in the quarter. The uncertainty created by the constant news flow and tariffs led to a decline in freight rates for tankers. With freight rates declining, asset prices have also trended down to varying degrees based on the age of the vessel with older vessels seeing significant decline to the tune of 30-35% as compared to the summer of 2024. The decline in asset values has seen new players entering the market looking for services on technical and commercial management, and we are working closely with some investors to take advantage of this opportunity and close deals. Levels for time chartering (leasing) crude and product tankers for short to medium term charters have also softened and present an opportunity for us to rebuild our Time Charter book. We are actively bidding on some modern vessels for medium term charters and hope to conclude 1-2 ships in the coming months. For the future, we remain committed to our stated strategy of two main lines of business i.e. maritime services for bulk shipping and select specialist sectors, and project development with investors where Heidmar arranges deals to acquire assets with investors where we coinvest and provide commercial, technical, or corporate services. We are working on growth opportunities on both lines of the business and hope to conclude deals within the second half of the year.” Conference Call details: Our management team will host a conference call to discuss our financial results on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET).

EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and the non-cash expense relating to the fair value of the earnout shares, which the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as we believe that these measures are useful to investors as a widely used means of evaluating operating profitability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliation of Net (Loss)/ Income attributable to shareholders to Adjusted Net Income(In U.S. Dollars)  Q1 2025Q1 2024Net (loss) / income(6,033,120)1,726,659Unrealized expense relating to Fair value adjustment of earnout Shares3,917,767 -Stock based compensation2,990,547  -Adjusted net income875,194 1,726,659     Heidmar considers Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders, to represent net loss/ income before non-cash loss on the fair value adjustments of the earnout shares and amortization of stock-based compensation. We have included herein Adjusted fair value of earnout shares and amortization of stock based compensation because we believe they assist 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 unrealized loss on the fair value adjustments of the earnout shares and amortization of stock based compensation which may significantly affect results of operations between periods. Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders and Adjusted income per share attributable to shareholders do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss/ income attributable to shareholders or loss per share attributable to shareholders, as determined by GAAP. The Company's definition of Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders and Adjusted income per share attributable to shareholders may not be the same as that used by other companies in shipping or other industries. Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders and Adjusted income per share attributable to shareholders are not adjusted for all non-cash income and expense items that are reflected in our statement of cash flows.
