For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated Net Revenues of $167.5 million, compared to $110.2 million in the same period of 2023, marking an increase of 52%. Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months was $98.4 million, compared to $53.0 million for the same period of 2023.

The average daily OPEX was $6,976 compared to $6,879 in the respective period of 2023.

Long-term debt (senior loans and other financial liabilities) net of deferred charges stood at $257.6 million, while the book value of the fleet, including an advance for a vessel acquisition, was $488.2 million.




Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:



“We are pleased to announce another strong quarter for Seanergy, underscoring the benefits of our strategic focus on the Capesize segment. Our robust hedging strategy resulted in the Company significantly outperforming the broader Capesize market, even amid seasonal year-end softness. Our fleet-wide daily TCE of $23,179, exceeded the BCI average of $18,300 by 27%, resulting in net income of $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. This strong finish capped off a record-breaking year, during which we achieved net income of $43.5 million, with a full-year daily TCE of $25,063, which is 11% above the BCI average of $22,593.



“Our disciplined commercial strategy and efficient operations allowed us to generate substantially superior results compared to industry peers, validating our exclusive focus on Capesize vessels. Unlike smaller dry bulk segments—where orderbooks have increased substantially—the Capesize orderbook remains at historically low levels, positioning this segment for potential outperformance over the long term.



“Our estimate for Q1 2025 TCE is approximately $13,400 per day, which reflects seasonal Capesize market softness but remains 44% above the year-to-date BCI average of approximately $9,300 per day. Meanwhile, our fixed-rate charters at $22,100 per day continue to significantly outperform spot levels, and with rising forward freight agreements (“FFAs”), we anticipate a stronger market in the second half of 2025.



“In line with our stated growth strategy, we executed targeted fleet expansion while maintaining a healthy balance sheet and rewarding shareholders with strong capital returns. We declared total dividends of $0.76 per share for 2024, representing a robust annualized dividend yield of approximately 11%

3

. In addition, during the fourth quarter, we repurchased 226,826 shares at an average price of $9.44 per share, further enhancing shareholder value.



“Since the second quarter of 2024, we have committed to invest $138.0 million in four high-quality Capesize vessels, bringing our proforma fleet to 21 units, or 3.8 million dwt. This strategic expansion further strengthens our profitability and cash flow generation potential, allowing us to continue capitalizing on the strength of the Capesize market. Importantly, we closed the year with a loan-to-value ratio of approximately 45%, underscoring our financial sustainability and prudent capital management in a volatile macro environment.



“The Capesize market continued to outperform smaller dry bulk segments in 2024, driven by a favorable supply-demand balance. Fleet growth was limited to just 1.7%, while seaborne iron ore, bauxite, and coal shipments increased substantially. Brazilian iron ore exports surged annually by approximately 6%, and Guinea’s bauxite exports grew by over 15%, reinforcing the trend of increasing ton-miles, which directly benefits Capesize companies like ours.



“Looking ahead to 2025, Capesize fleet growth is projected to slow further to 1.4%, setting the stage for an even tighter supply-demand balance. While the start of the year saw seasonal weakness, spot rates and FFAs have risen sharply in recent weeks, pointing to a strengthening market in the months ahead. Vessel values have remained firm, which is a sign of industry confidence in the Capesize sector’s long-term fundamentals.



“We believe that the long-term outlook for Capesize demand is robust, driven by rising Atlantic Basin iron ore and bauxite exports, a historically low orderbook, and tightening environmental regulations that are expected to restrict Capesize supply further. A key catalyst is the long-anticipated Simandou iron ore project in Guinea, which is set to commence exports in 2025 and is expected to significantly boost ton-mile demand further. At the same time, global energy needs continue to surge, particularly in emerging economies, as technology-driven industries such as AI, data centers, and semiconductor manufacturing require significant base-load power. Despite the energy transition, coal remains essential to the global power mix, supporting sustained Capesize demand as Asia ramps up imports.



“As a pure-play Capesize company, Seanergy remains uniquely positioned to capitalize on these long-term market tailwinds and to deliver consistent, superior returns to shareholders.”

(1)   Ownership days are the total number of calendar days in a period during which the vessels in a fleet have been owned or chartered in. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of the Company’s fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that the Company recorded during a period.



(2)   Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. Available days are the number of ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to major repairs, dry-dockings, lay-up or special or intermediate surveys. Operating days include the days that our vessels are in ballast voyages without having finalized agreements for their next employment. The Company’s calculation of operating days may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.



(3)    Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that the vessels are generating revenue and is determined by dividing operating days by ownership days for the relevant period. Fleet Utilization is used to measure a company’s ability to efficiently find suitable employment for its vessels and minimize the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for unforeseen events. We believe it provides additional meaningful information and assists management in making decisions regarding areas where we may be able to improve efficiency and increase revenue and because we believe that it provides useful information to investors regarding the efficiency of our operations.



(4)   TCE rate is defined as the Company’s net revenue less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of the Company’s operating days during the period. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel oil and diesel oil) expenses, canal charges and other commissions. The Company includes the TCE rate, which is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP, as it believes it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with net revenues from vessels, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and because it assists the Company’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because the Company believes that it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. The Company’s calculation of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the Company’s net revenues from vessels to the TCE rate.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") represents the sum of net income, net interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a period. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, loss on forward freight agreements, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, and the non-recurring gain on sale of vessels, net, which the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations.



EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented 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.

To derive Adjusted Earnings Per Share, a non-GAAP financial measure, from Net Income, we adjust for dividends and undistributed earnings to non-vested participating securities and exclude non-cash items, as provided in the table above. We believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period since each such measure eliminates the effects of such non-cash items as loss on extinguishment of debt, stock based compensation and other items which may vary from year to year, for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In addition, we believe that the presentation of the respective measure provides investors with supplemental data relating to our results of operations, and therefore, with a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than with GAAP measures alone. Our method of computing Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.




First Quarter 2025 TCE Rate Guidance:



As of the date hereof, approximately 85% of the Company fleet’s expected operating days in the first quarter of 2025 have been fixed at an estimated TCE rate of approximately $12,471. Assuming that for the remaining operating days of our index-linked time charters, the respective vessels’ TCE rate will be equal to the average FFA rate of $18,733 per day (based on the FFA curve as of March 3, 2025), our estimated TCE rate for the first quarter of 2025 will be approximately $13,363

For vessels on index-linked T/Cs, the TCE rate realized will vary with the underlying index, and for the purposes of this guidance, the TCE rate assumed for the remaining operating days of the quarter for an index-linked T/C is equal to the average FFA rate of $18,733 based on the curve of March 3, 2025. Spot estimates are provided using the load-to-discharge method of accounting. The rates quoted are for days currently contracted. Increased ballast days at the end of the quarter will reduce the additional revenues that can be booked based on the accounting cut-offs and therefore the resulting TCE rate will be reduced accordingly.

In January 2025, the Company entered into a six-month bareboat charter agreement with an unaffiliated third party for a 2011-built Capesize dry bulk vessel of 178,459 dwt built at Mitsui SB. The vessel was renamed M/V Blueship and delivered to Seanergy on February 25, 2025. The bareboat charter agreement required a downpayment of $8.0 million and includes a daily charter rate of $9,750 over the period of the bareboat charter and a purchase obligation of $22.5 million at the end of the bareboat charter.

Meanwhile, the M/V Meiship commenced its T/C employment with Costamare Bulkers Inc. (“Costamare”), for a duration of about 12 to 15 months. The gross daily rate of the time charter agreement is based on a fixed rate and includes a profit-sharing scheme based on the BCI.

The daily hire is based on the 5 T/C routes of the BCI, while the Company has the option to convert the daily hire from index-linked to fixed for a minimum period of 2 months to a maximum of 12 months based on the prevailing Capesize FFA curve. The Company will also receive the majority of the benefit from the scrubber profit-sharing scheme based on the price difference between high-sulfur and low-sulfur fuel.




M/V Patriotship – Time charter extension



In December 2024, the charterer of the M/V Patriotship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period will commence on April 1, 2025, for a duration of minimum October 1, 2025, to maximum March 31, 2026. All main terms of the time charter remain materially the same.

M/V Premiership – Time charter extension



In December 2024, the charterer of the M/V Premiership agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period will commence on May 28, 2025, for a duration of minimum March 1, 2027, to maximum May 30, 2027. The Company will receive the majority of the benefit from the scrubber profit-sharing scheme based on the price difference between high-sulfur and low-sulfur fuel while all other main terms of the time charter remain materially the same.




M/V Squireship – Time charter extension



In December 2024, the charterer of the M/V Squireship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period will commence on June 18, 2025, for a duration of minimum March 1, 2027, to maximum May 30, 2027. The Company will receive the majority of the benefit from the scrubber profit-sharing scheme based on the price difference between high-sulfur and low-sulfur fuel while all other main terms of the time charter remain materially the same.




M/V Hellasship – Time charter extension



In January 2025, the charterer of the M/V Hellasship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period commenced on January 8, 2025, for a duration of minimum 15 months to maximum 18 months. The daily hire is based at a revised premium over the BCI, while all other main terms of the time charter remain materially the same.





Financing Updates





M/Vs Worldship, Honorship & Meiship - Piraeus Bank Facility agreement



In February 2025, the Company entered into a $53.6 million sustainability-linked senior credit facility to partially finance the acquisition of the M/V Meiship and to refinance the existing $24.0 million indebtedness of the M/Vs Worldship and Honorship with the same lender, at improved terms. The facility has a term of five years, while the interest rate is 2.05% plus term SOFR per annum, 55 bps lower than the rate of the refinanced agreement, and can be further reduced based on certain emission reduction thresholds. The facility amortizes through 20 quarterly instalments of approximately $1.5 million and a $24.6 million balloon payment at maturity.
