Positive
  • Total net revenues increased by 68.6% to $17.4 million for Q2 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased to $5.0 million for Q2 2024.
  • Fleet utilization improved to 99.0% for Q2 and 98.5% for H1 2024.
  • Share repurchase program extended, with $5.0 million used to repurchase 313,318 shares.
Negative
  • Net loss of $0.41 million for Q2 2024.
  • Adjusted net loss of $0.45 million for Q2 2024.
  • Net loss of $2.2 million for H1 2024.
  • Adjusted net loss of $3.7 million for H1 2024.

EuroDry's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. While total net revenues increased by 68.6% year-over-year to $17.4 million, the company still reported a net loss of $0.41 million. The increased revenue was driven by higher charter rates and an expanded fleet, with average daily rates rising from $12,179 to $14,427.

Key concerns include:

  • Rising interest expenses due to increased debt and higher benchmark rates
  • Scheduled debt repayments of $13.8 million over the next 12 months
  • Ongoing vessel dry-docking expenses impacting profitability

However, the company's share repurchase program and focus on short-term or index-linked charters suggest management's confidence in future market improvements. The drybulk market outlook remains uncertain, with geopolitical tensions and a growing orderbook offset by potential interest rate cuts and Chinese economic stimulus.

EuroDry's strategy of positioning its fleet for potential rate increases through short-term and index-linked charters is prudent given the volatile market conditions. The company's fleet utilization improved to 99.0% in Q2 2024, up from 93.3% in Q2 2023, indicating efficient operations.

However, the increasing orderbook in the drybulk sector is a concern. While new orders won't impact supply before 2027, it could pressure rates in the medium term. The company's focus on eco-friendly vessels (like Kamsarmax and Ultramax) is positive, as these typically command premium rates.

The publication of EuroDry's 2023 Sustainability Report demonstrates a commitment to ESG principles, which may become increasingly important for securing charters and financing in the future. The extension of the share repurchase program suggests management believes the stock is undervalued relative to net asset value.

EuroDry's performance is closely tied to global economic trends, particularly in China. The potential for interest rate cuts in late 2024 could stimulate economic activity and boost demand for drybulk shipping. However, this optimism is tempered by several factors:

  • Ongoing geopolitical tensions that could disrupt trade flows
  • Uncertainty around China's economic recovery and domestic investment levels
  • Potential protectionist measures that could negatively impact trade growth

The company's average time charter equivalent rate of $14,427 per day in Q2 2024 shows improvement but remains vulnerable to market fluctuations. The low supply growth in the drybulk sector provides some buffer against demand uncertainties, but EuroDry's profitability will largely depend on global economic resilience and trade patterns in the coming quarters.

Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of EuroDry commented:
“During the second quarter of 2024, the drybulk market fluctuated at levels 5-10% higher than the previous quarter showing some signs of seasonal slowdown by the end of June. Earnings for eco-Kamsarmax vessels averaged about $17,800 during the second quarter and around $15,900 in July while earnings for eco-Ultramax vessels averaged $3-4,000 thousand dollars per day higher than Kamsarmaxes throughout 2024. Our fleet, which includes five older Panamaxes that typically trade at 3-4,000/day below eco-Kamsarmax vessels, earned a blended rate of $14,427/day as a result of some legacy charters. Our results for the quarter were influenced by various scheduled drydockings.

“Overall, the market environment remains volatile with increased geopolitical uncertainty and an increasing orderbook. Still though, any new orders placed will not affect the supply of vessels before 2027 at the earliest. Thus, in the near and medium term, the market fundamentals remain unchanged with a low supply growth providing support for any increases in demand to be converted to higher rates for our ships. Global economic growth is the main driver for the drybulk trade demand, and especially, economic developments in China. The expected interest rates cuts in the remaining of 2024 should contribute to higher economic activity in that respect as well as measures taken by the Chinese government to address domestic investment. On the opposite side, any protectionist measures taken would negatively influence trade growth.

“Our strategy remains to position our fleet to take advantage of any rate increases having the majority of our fleet employed in short term or index-linked charters. At the same time, we are evaluating fleet renewal and investment opportunities. We are also continuing our share repurchase program as our shares continue to trade significantly below our net asset value. Last but not least, I am pleased to announce the publication of our 2023 Sustainability Report which summarizes our progress in and underlines our commitment to the environmental, social responsibility and governance aspects of our business.”

Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of EuroDry commented: “The net revenues of the second quarter of 2024 increased significantly compared to the second quarter of 2023 as a result of the increased time charter equivalent rates our vessels earned and the increased average number of vessels operated during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The time charter equivalent rates for the second quarter of 2024 were higher by 18.5% on average compared to the time charter equivalent rates our vessels earned in the second quarter of 2023.

“Daily vessel operating expenses, including management fees, but excluding dry-docking costs, averaged $6,396 per vessel per day during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $6,780 per vessel per day for the same quarter of last year, and $6,289 per vessel per day for the first half of 2024 as compared to $6,424 per vessel per day for the same period of 2023. General and administrative expenses averaged $666 per vessel per day during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $876 per vessel per day for the same quarter of last year, and $675 per vessel per day for the first half of 2024 as compared to $882 per vessel per day for the same period of 2023. This decrease is explained by the allocation of General and administrative expenses of approximately the same levels in the respective three-month and six-month periods, to an increased number of vessels in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024.

“Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2024 was $5.0 million versus $2.5 million in the second quarter of last year.

“As of June 30, 2024, our outstanding debt (excluding the unamortized loan fees) was $98.1 million, while unrestricted and restricted cash was $9.5 million. As of the same date, our scheduled debt repayments including balloon payments over the next 12 months amounted to about $13.8 million.”

Second Quarter 2024 Results:
For the second quarter of 2024, the Company reported total net revenues of $17.4 million representing a 68.6% increase over total net revenues of $10.3 million during the second quarter of 2023 which was the result of the higher time charter rates our vessels earned and the increased average number of vessels operated during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. On average, 13.0 vessels were owned and operated during the second quarter of 2024 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $14,427 per day compared to 10.0 vessels in the same period of 2023 earning on average $12,179 per day.

For the second quarter of 2024, voyage expenses, net amounted to $2.2 million and mainly relate to vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during operational off-hire time, as compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2023. Vessel operating expenses increased to $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $5.4 million in the same period of 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased number of vessels operating in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023.

Depreciation expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $3.5 million compared to $2.6 million for the same period of 2023 as a result of the higher number of vessels owned and operated in the second quarter of 2024.

Related party management fees for the period were $1.0 million compared to $0.8 million for the same period of 2023, again due to the increased number of vessels owned and operated in the second quarter of 2024, as well as due to the adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2024, increasing it from 775 Euros to 810 Euros and the unfavorable movement of the euro/dollar exchange rate.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2024 was at $0.8 million remaining at the same levels as compared to the second quarter of 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded a provision of $0.5 million related to the detention of one of our vessels as other operating loss. In the same period of 2024, the Company did not have any such costs.

During the second quarter of 2024, one vessel completed its special survey and another two entered into dry-dock in order complete their special survey, for a total cost of $1.9 million, while there were two vessels that completed their special survey, during the second quarter of 2023 for a cost of $1.6 million.

Interest and other financing costs for the second quarter of 2024 amounted to $2.0 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period of 2023. Interest expense during the second quarter of 2024 was higher mainly due to the increased amount of debt and the increased benchmark rates of our loans during the period as compared to the same period of last year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a $0.04 million unrealized gain and a $0.05 million realized gain on one interest rate swap. The results for the second quarter of 2023 include an unrealized gain of $0.23 million and a realized gain of $0.03 million on an interest rate swap contract and an unrealized loss of $0.08 million and a realized gain of $2.28 million on forward freight agreement (“FFA”) contracts.

The Company reported net loss for the period of $0.3 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $0.4 million, as compared to a net loss and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $1.2 million for the same period of 2023. The net gain attributable to the non-controlling interest of $0.08 million in the second quarter of 2024 represents the gain attributable to the 39% ownership of the entities owning the M/V Christos K and M/V Maria represented by NRP Project Finance AS (“NRP investors”) (the “Partnership”).

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $5.0 million compared to $2.5 million achieved during the second quarter of 2023.

Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to the Company for the second quarter of 2024 was $0.15 calculated on 2,710,413 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to loss per share of $0.43 calculated on 2,761,182 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2023.

Excluding the effect on the loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the quarter of the unrealized gain on derivatives, the adjusted loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 would have been $0.17 per share basic and diluted, compared to adjusted loss of $0.48 per share basic and diluted, respectively for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Usually, security analysts do not include the above item in their published estimates of earnings per share.

First Half 2024 Results:
For the first half of 2024, the Company reported total net revenues of $31.9 million representing a 46.9% increase over total net revenues of $21.7 million during the first half of 2023, which was the result of the increased time charter rates our vessels earned and the increased average numbers of vessels operated during the first half of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. On average, 13.0 vessels were owned and operated during the first half of 2024 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $13,452 per day compared to 10.0 vessels in the same period of 2023 earning on average $11,393 per day.

Vessel operating expenses were $12.8 million for the first half of 2024 as compared to $10.1 million for the first half of 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased number of vessels operating in the first half of 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023.

Depreciation expense for the first half of 2024 was $6.9 million compared to $5.1 million during the same period of 2023, mainly due to the higher number of vessels operating in the same period.

Related party management fees for the first half of 2024 were slightly increased to $2.1 million from $1.5 million for the same period of 2023 due to the increased amounts of vessels operating in 2024 and the adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2024, increasing it from 775 Euros to 810 Euros, and the unfavorable movement of the euro/dollar exchange rate during the period.

General and administrative expenses for the first half of 2024, remained at the same levels of $1.6 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2023.

During the first half of 2024 three of our vessels completed their special survey with drydocking and another two entered dry-docks in order to complete their special surveys, for a total cost of $3.7 million. During the first half of 2023 two of our vessels completed their special survey with drydocking for a total cost of $2.1 million.

Interest and other financing costs for the first half of 2024 amounted to $4.1 million compared to $2.9 million for the same period of 2023. This increase is mainly due to the increased amount of debt in the current period as well as the increase in the benchmark rates of our loans compared to the same period of 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a $0.1 million realized gain and a $0.2 million unrealized gain on one interest rate swap and a $0.3 million gain on FFA contracts.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2024 was $7.1 million compared to $4.8 million achieved during the first half of 2023.

Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to the Company for the first half of 2024 was $0.81, calculated on 2,721,952 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding compared to loss per share of $0.98, calculated on 2,782,000 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Excluding the effect on the net loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the first half of the year of the unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives, the adjusted loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, would have been $1.35 per share basic and diluted, compared to adjusted loss of $0.33 per share basic and diluted, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. As previously mentioned, usually, security analysts do not include the above item 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 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 voyage revenues, 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 are calculated 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 expense is 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 is 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 divided. 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 loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, unrealized loss / (gain) on Forward Freight Agreement derivatives (“FFAs”) and gain on interest rate swap derivatives. 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, gain on interest rate swap derivatives, and depreciation. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.

EuroDry Ltd. considers Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders, to represent net loss before unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives, which includes FFAs and interest rate swaps. Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share is included herein 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 (gain) / loss on derivatives, which may significantly affect results of operations between periods. Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or loss per share, as determined by GAAP.
