Insights

Imperial Petroleum's Q2 2024 results show a mixed financial picture. While net income increased to $19.5 million (up $2.8 million from Q1), revenues decreased by 20.3% year-over-year to $47.0 million. This decline was primarily due to reduced voyage days and lower tanker market rates, particularly for suezmax tankers.

The company's strong cash position of $129.8 million as of June 30, 2024, coupled with zero debt, provides significant financial flexibility. However, the undervaluation concern raised by the CEO, with market capitalization below cash levels, suggests potential investor skepticism or market inefficiencies.

The acquisition of the Neptulus handysize drybulk carrier indicates a strategic move to diversify the fleet. Overall, while profitability remains solid, the year-over-year revenue decline and market undervaluation warrant close monitoring for long-term performance trends.

The tanker market shows signs of volatility and regional disparities. Imperial Petroleum's strategic positioning of product tankers west of Suez proved beneficial, highlighting the importance of fleet deployment decisions in maximizing profitability. The 25% year-to-date decline in daily suezmax freight rates indicates broader market pressures in this segment.

The company's fleet utilization of 80.9% in Q2 2024, while stable quarter-over-quarter, represents an improvement from 75.4% in Q2 2023. This suggests effective operational management amid challenging market conditions. The focus on spot market activity (79.5% of fleet calendar days) allows for flexibility but also exposes the company to short-term market fluctuations.

The addition of the Neptulus to the fleet and the diverse vessel types (MR product tankers, Suezmax tankers and Handysize drybulk carriers) indicate a strategy to balance market exposure across different shipping segments, potentially mitigating risks associated with individual market volatility.

(NASDAQ: IMPP, the “Company”), a ship-owning company providing petroleum products, crude oil and dry bulk seaborne transportation services, announced today its unaudited financial and operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Results:

  • Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $47.0 million, a decrease of $12.0 million, or 20.3%, compared to revenues of $59.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in voyage days by 11.7% (122 days) attributed mainly to the decrease of our average fleet by 1.5 vessels and a decrease of tanker market rates particularly for the suezmax tankers when compared to the same period of last year.
  • Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $17.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively, compared to $19.3 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $2.2 million decrease in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to a decline in our daily port expenses by approximately $2,200 due to decreased transit through Suez Canal, partially offset by an increase in our daily bunker costs by approximately $800. The $0.5 million decrease in vessels’ operating expenses was primarily due to the decrease of our fleet by an average of 1.5 vessels.
  • Drydocking costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were nil and $0.7 million, respectively. During three months ended June 30, 2023 one of our Handysize drybulk carriers the Eco Glorieuse underwent drydocking.
  • General and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $1.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
  • Depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $4.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The change is attributable to the decrease in the average number of our vessels.
  • Other operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.9 million and related to the collection of a claim in in connection with repairs undertaken in prior years.
  • Net loss on sale of vessel for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.6 million and related to the sale of the Aframax tanker Gstaad Grace II to a third party.
  • Impairment loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 stood at $9.0 million, and related to the spin-off of two of our drybulk carriers to C3is Inc. The decline of drybulk vessels’ fair values, at the time of the spin off, compared to one year before when these vessels were acquired resulted in the incurrence of the impairment loss.
  • Interest and finance costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0.006 million and $0.5 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 the Company repaid all of its outstanding debt whereas there is no debt during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The $0.5 million charges for the three months ended June 30, 2023 relate mainly to the full amortization of loan related charges following the repayment of the Company’s outstanding debt.
  • Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $2.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The increase is mainly attributed to the $0.8 million of accrued interest income – related party for the three months ended June 30, 2024 in connection with the $38.7 million of the sale price of the Aframax tanker Afrapearl II (ex. Stealth Berana) which was collected in July 2024.
  • As a result of the above, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $19.5 million, compared to net income of $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Dividends paid on Series A Preferred Shares amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, basic, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 28.0 million. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $0.64 and $0.56, respectively, compared to earnings per share, basic and diluted, of $0.91 and $0.73, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
  • Adjusted net income1 was $22.2 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS1, basic of $0.73 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an Adjusted net income of $26.6 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS, basic, of $1.46 for the same period of last year.
  • EBITDA1 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $21.8 million, while Adjusted EBITDA1 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $24.4 million. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income are set forth below.
  • An average of 10.3 vessels were owned by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 11.8 vessels for the same period of 2023.

Six Months 2024 Results:

  • Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $88.2 million, a decrease of $36.3 million, or 29.2%, compared to revenues of $124.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a year to date decline of daily suezmax freight rates by almost 25%.
  • Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $30.6 million and $12.5 million, respectively, compared to $36.1 million and $13.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $5.5 million decrease in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to decreased port expenses by approximately $3.0 million due to decreased transit through Suez Canal and decreased voyage commissions by approximately $1.1 in conjunction with lower freight rates. The $1.4 million decrease in vessels’ operating expenses was primarily due to the decrease in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
  • Drydocking costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. This decrease is due to the fact that during the six months ended June 30, 2024 one tanker vessel underwent drydocking while in the same period of last year two of our Handysize drybulk carriers underwent drydocking.
  • General and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. This change is mainly attributed to the increase in stock-based compensation costs, partly offset by a reduction in reporting expenses due to the spin-off of C3is Inc. which was completed in June 2023.
  • Depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $8.2 million, a $0.5 million decrease from $8.7 million for the same period of last year, due to the decrease in the average number of our vessels.

  • Net loss on sale of vessel for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.6 million and related to the sale of the Aframax tanker Gstaad Grace II to a third party.
  • Impairment loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2023 stood at $9.0 million, and related to the spin-off of two of four drybulk carriers to C3is Inc. The decline of drybulk vessels’ fair values, at the time of the spin off, compared to one year before when these vessels were acquired resulted in the incurrence of impairment loss.
  • Interest and finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0.008 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The $1.8 million of costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 relate mainly to $1.3 million of interest charges incurred up to the full repayment of all outstanding loans concluded in April 2023 along with the full amortization of $0.5 million of loan related charges following the repayment of the Company’s outstanding debt.
  • Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $3.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The increase is mainly attributed to 1.5mil of accrued interest income – related party for the six months ended June 30, 2024 in connection with the $38.7 million of the sale price of the Aframax tanker Afrapearl II (ex. Stealth Berana) which was receivable by July 2024.
  • As a result of the above, the Company reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $36.2 million, compared to a net income of $52.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

CEO Harry Vafias Commented

In Q2 24 we managed to turn a typically weak seasonal period to our second most profitable quarter thus far, as we generated a net profit of $19.5 million. Our excellent performance was mostly leveraged by our product tankers that were strategically situated West of Suez where market for these vessels remained tight. We enjoy recurring profitable quarters a very strong cash base which currently stands close to $190 million and as we repeatedly stress, zero leverage. This gives us plenty of flexibility to grow further. We remain significantly undervalued as our market capitalization is even lower than our cash but are confident that gradually we will see an appreciation to our share price, driven by our recurring strong results.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:

Adjusted net income represents net income before impairment loss, net loss on sale of vessel and share based compensation. EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, impairment loss, net loss on sale of vessel 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.
