  • Time Charter Equivalent rates increased 4% year-over-year to $16,324 per day
  • Operating cash flow of $28.5 million in Q3
  • Fleet expansion with two new vessel acquisitions
  • Strategic merger agreement to add 15 vessels, expanding fleet by 60%
  • Maintained quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share
Negative
  • Total Adjusted EBITDA decreased 14.2% year-over-year to $23.9 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 15.6% from 20.6% year-over-year
  • Higher voyage expenses and increased charter hire costs impacting margins

Insights

Q3 2024 shows mixed performance with notable strategic developments. Revenue increased to $153.1 million, while net income declined to $5.1 million ($0.11 per share). Key positives include 4% YoY growth in TCE rates and shipping days, with TCE rates outperforming market indices by 19%.

The planned merger with MTM's 15 vessels will expand fleet capacity by 60%, potentially driving significant EBITDA growth. However, margins compressed with Adjusted EBITDA margin falling to 15.6% from 20.6% YoY due to higher voyage and charter costs.

Balance sheet remains solid with $93.1 million cash, though net debt/EBITDA stands at 2.5x. The $0.10 quarterly dividend signals confidence in cash flow generation.

The strategic expansion through vessel acquisitions and the MTM merger positions PANL well in specialized shipping segments. The company's ice-class fleet leadership and integrated logistics model create competitive advantages, evidenced by the 19% TCE premium over market rates.

The acquisition of Bulk Patience and Bulk Brenton modernizes the fleet, while gaining full control of the ice-class joint venture strengthens their niche market position. The expansion into handymax vessels through MTM merger will provide greater operational flexibility and market coverage.

The focus on port infrastructure development, particularly in Tampa, demonstrates commitment to vertical integration. This asset-light, cargo-centric approach should provide resilience through market cycles.

NEWPORT, R.I., Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. ("Pangaea" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: PANL), a global provider of comprehensive maritime logistics solutions, announced today its results for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

  • Net income attributable to Pangaea of $5.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea of $11.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share
  • Operating cash flow of $28.5 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $23.9 million
  • Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") rates earned by Pangaea of $16,324 per day
  • Pangaea's TCE rates exceeded the average Baltic Panamax and Supramax indices by 19%
  • Ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA of 2.5x
  • Expanded owned vessel fleet to 26 with the acquisitions of the Bulk Brenton and Bulk Patience in third quarter

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Pangaea reported non-GAAP adjusted net income of $11.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, on total revenue of $153.1 million. Third quarter TCE rates increased 4% on a year-over-year basis, while total shipping days, which include both voyage and time charter days, increased 4% to 4,805 days, when compared to the year-ago period.

The TCE earned was $16,324 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to an average of $15,748 per day for the same period in 2023. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company's average TCE rate exceeded the benchmark average Baltic Panamax and Supramax indices by 19%, supported by Pangaea's long-term contracts of affreightment ("COAs"), specialized fleet, and cargo-focused strategy.

Total Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 14.2% to $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to the prior-year period. Total Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.6% during the third quarter of 2024, compared to 20.6% during the prior year period. This decrease is primarily due to higher voyage expenses and increased charter hire costs, which offset the benefits of higher market rates.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $93.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. Total debt, including finance lease obligations was $292.8 million. At the end of the third quarter 2024, the ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA was 2.5x, which was flat compared to the prior year period. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repaid net $3.3 million of finance leases in conjunction with a refinancing, $3.4 million of long-term debt and received proceeds amounting to $46.6 million from secured long-term debt, and paid $4.5 million in cash dividends.

On November 8, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, to be paid on December 13, 2024, to all shareholders of record as of November 29, 2024.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Strategically, this has been a historic year for Pangaea, one in which we've continued to advance our value creation strategy through a combination of targeted fleet expansion, strong operational execution, and accretive inorganic growth," stated Mark Filanowski, Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions.  "In September, we entered into a definitive agreement to  merge 15 dry bulk handy-size vessels into our own dry bulk fleet in an all-stock transaction with M. T. Maritime ("MTM"). The transaction, which is expected to close by year-end 2024, will increase the size of our owned fleet by more than 60% and will drive meaningful annual EBITDA for Pangaea.  In a separate transaction, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in our post-panamax ice class 1A joint venture, further solidifying our position in this premium niche market segment. We also purchased two modern supramaxes to support our base businesses".

"With our added scale, we expect to expand our logistics operations at both new and existing ports of operation, consistent with our integrated shipping and logistics model," continued Filanowski. "Our asset-lite, cargo-centric model leverages a combination of owned and chartered-in vessels, consistent with our long-term strategy. Given fluctuations in global dry bulk capacity and demand, we believe our model provides superior durability, cost efficiency and scalability through the cycle, with an emphasis on profitable growth".

"The third quarter is a seasonally active period of the year across our Arctic trades," continued Filanowski.  "We optimized our ice class fleet during the quarter and we delivered a year-over-year increase in both total shipping days and TCE/day rate. While market rates declined as the quarter progressed, our reported TCE exceeds prevailing market indices by 19% in the period, given our strategic focus on premium rate trade routes".

"Through today, we have performed 3,378 shipping days generating a TCE of $16,629/day," continued Mark Filanowski. "We look forward to having the MTM transaction closed by year end, subject to the approval of our shareholders, positioning Pangaea to deliver an expanded portfolio of services across a growing customer base in the year ahead."

STRATEGIC UPDATE

Pangaea remains committed to developing a leading dry bulk logistics and transportation services company of scale, providing its customers with specialized shipping and supply chain and logistics offerings in commodity and niche markets, which drive premium returns measured in time charter equivalent per day.

Leverage integrated shipping and logistics model. In addition to operating the largest high ice class dry bulk fleet of Panamax and post-Panamax vessels globally, Pangaea also performs stevedoring services, together with port and terminal operations capabilities. The Company is focused on deploying capital to support continued organic growth of its port and terminal operations. During the third quarter the Company continued to advance its ongoing expansion of its terminal operations in the Port of Tampa, which is on track to be complete in the second half of 2025. Furthermore, the Company's proposed merger of its dry bulk fleet with the dry bulk fleet of MTM would enhance its ability to service customers in proximity to its port and terminal operations.

Continue to drive strong fleet utilization.  In the third quarter, Pangaea's 26 owned vessels were fully utilized and supplemented with an average of 27 chartered-in vessels to support cargo and COA commitments. During the quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of two new vessels, which will expand the owned vessel fleet to 26. In addition to the two newly acquired vessels, the Company proposed merger with the dry bulk fleet of MTM will expand the Company's capabilities into the Handymax segment, further enabling Pangaea to dynamically meet the evolving needs of its customers while maximizing its owned fleet utilization.

Continue to upgrade fleet, while divesting older, non-core assets. During the quarter, the Company took delivery of the 2016-built Bulk Patience and Bulk Brenton. In addition, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to merge its Dry Bulk fleet with the fleet of MTM, adding another 15 vessels to its owned vessel fleet.  Going forward, the Company will continue to opportunistically invest in its fleet with the purpose of maximizing TCE rates, meeting evolving regulatory requirements and supporting client cargo needs on an on-demand basis.

INFORMATION ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. As used herein, "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release discusses non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net revenue and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. This is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use non-GAAP financial measures for internal financial and operational decision making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of the performance and results of operations of our core business. Our management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our core business by excluding charges that are not incurred in the normal course of business. Non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal planning and comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity. We believe certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance and operational results of our core business.

Gross Profit. Gross profit represents total revenue less net transportation and service revenue and less vessel depreciation and amortization.

Net transportation and service revenue. Net transportation and service revenue represents total revenue less the total direct costs of transportation and services, which includes charter hire, voyage and vessel operating expenses and terminal & stevedore expenses. Net transportation and service revenue is included because it is used by management and certain investors to measure performance by comparison to other logistic service providers. Net transportation and service revenue is not an item recognized by the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other indicator of a company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. Pangaea's definition of net transportation and service revenue used here may not be comparable to an operating measure used by other companies. 

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairment, loss on sale and leaseback of vessels, share-based compensation, other non-operating income and/or expense and other non-recurring items, if any. Earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Adjusted earnings per share represents net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. plus, when applicable, loss on sale of vessel, loss on sale and leaseback of vessel, loss on impairment of vessel, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, and certain non-recurring charges, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock.

There are limitations related to the use of net revenue versus income from operations, adjusted EBITDA versus income from operations, and adjusted EPS versus EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP. In particular, Pangaea's definition of adjusted EBITDA used here are not comparable to EBITDA.

The table set forth above provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented during the period to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
