Insights
C3is's financial results reveal a company in transformation with mixed performance metrics. Revenue grew 47% to $42.3 million for FY2024 while Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $16.4 million. However, the company reported a net loss of $2.7 million with a basic loss per share of $4.29 for the full year.
The company's fleet expansion strategy has been aggressive yet prudent from a financial leverage perspective. They've grown fleet capacity by 234% since inception without taking on bank debt, maintaining $12.6 million in cash after $41 million in vessel acquisition payments. All vessels remain unencumbered, providing financial flexibility.
Q4 results show deterioration with revenues dropping to $9.4 million from $13.8 million in Q4 2023, primarily due to lower charter rates. This resulted in Q4 adjusted net income declining 81% year-over-year. The 9% decrease in daily TCE for the full year signals pressure on core operational efficiency.
Accounting complexities included an $11.1 million non-cash adjustment for warrant valuation, significantly impacting reported results. The gap between adjusted metrics and GAAP figures highlights the volatile nature of the company's financial instruments.
With a fleet utilization of 99.5% for 2024, C3is is operationally sound, though the tanker's spot market exposure creates earnings volatility. The current $43,000 per day spot rate for their Aframax tanker is providing a positive revenue stream, potentially offsetting weakness in the dry bulk segment.
C3is has strategically positioned its fleet with handysize dry bulk carriers on short-term charters for steady cash flow while leveraging its Aframax tanker in the spot market to capture current strong rates of $43,000 per day. This balanced approach provides some insulation against sector-specific volatility.
The company's fleet expansion to 213,464 DWT demonstrates significant scale growth, but the declining daily TCE indicates broader market rate pressures. The 90.2% fleet operational utilization in Q4 reflects the commercial idle days inherent in spot market operations, as vessels between spot charters experience more downtime than time-chartered vessels.
The cost structure reveals the operational reality of spot market trading, with bunker costs representing 49% and port expenses 33% of voyage expenses for 2024. These substantial costs reduce the net benefit of higher spot rates, explaining part of the profitability compression despite revenue growth.
Management's outlook highlighting shipping's "transitional phase" acknowledges the current market uncertainty. Their reference to potential positive impacts from a new U.S. administration's energy policies and possible tariffs on Chinese-built vessels (noting their fleet contains none) indicates strategic positioning for potential regulatory changes.
The unencumbered status of all vessels provides both operational flexibility and future financing potential. The company's ability to grow without bank debt while maintaining substantial cash reserves positions them well for potential counter-cyclical opportunities if market conditions deteriorate, though their spot market exposure creates earnings volatility that investors should monitor closely.

Shipping is currently navigating a transitional phase, with shifting dynamics influenced by geopolitical factors, environmental regulations, demand patterns and weather-related challenges.
While navigating these most volatile waters, we are closely monitoring the evolving situations and are focused on identifying those components that would maximize our future profits.
Politics will play an important role in shipping in 2025, particularly in the US.
The Trump administration is likely to push an agenda aligned with “drill baby, drill”; this combined with the threat of tariffs on all Chinese built vessels, of which we have none, are two important factors that, if they materialize, could have a significant positive impact on the profitability of our company.
With a clear focus on emerging opportunities, we remain confident that 2025 will be a year that will produce strong financial performance and potential growth prospects.

2) Total calendar days for fleet are the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period including off-hire days associated with repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
3) Total voyage days for fleet reflect the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period net of off-hire days associated with repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
4) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.
5) Total charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on time charters for the relevant period.
6) Total spot market charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on spot market charters for the relevant period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:
Adjusted net income represents net income/(loss) before loss on warrants and share based compensation. EBITDA represents net income/(loss) before interest and finance costs, interest income and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income/(loss) before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, loss on warrants and share based compensation.
Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of shares. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in the shipping or other industries. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are included herein because they are a basis, upon which we and our investors assess our financial performance. They allow us to present our performance from period to period on a comparable basis and provide investors with a means of better evaluating and understanding our operating performance.

Reconciliation of TCE:
Time Charter Equivalent rate or “TCE” rate is determined by dividing voyage revenue net of voyage expenses by voyage days for the relevant time period. TCE is a non-GAAP measure which provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with voyage revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Time charter equivalent revenues assisting the Company’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. TCE is also 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 charters or time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. TCE assists our investors to assess our financial performance from period to period on a comparable basis and provide investors with a means of better evaluating and understanding our operating performance.
