Analysis

The stock moved -8.8% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite ongoing profitability would fit PSHG’s history of mixed earnings responses, where some strong quarters saw selling pressure and the average move was -0.45%. Markets could focus on lower Q4 net income, softer TCE versus 2024 and added debt from the $50 million tap issue. Geopolitical tensions around the Persian Gulf and long-dated newbuild commitments might further amplify downside risk perceptions.

Pattern Detected

Earnings releases have produced mixed reactions: some strong quarters sold off, while others with softer metrics traded higher, yielding a small average move of -0.45% around past earnings.

Recent Company History

Across the last five earnings events from Nov 2024 through Nov 2025, Performance Shipping reported profitable quarters with varying year-on-year comparisons. Earlier periods highlighted strong cash balances, growing revenue backlogs, and newbuild/acquisition activity, especially in Suezmax and LR2 segments. More recent results showed net income pressure versus 2024 but continued fleet expansion and long-term charter coverage. Today’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 release fits into this narrative of active fleet renewal, higher secured backlog and ongoing profitability.

-0.5%
Average Historical Move earnings

Over the last 5 earnings releases, PSHG’s average next‑day move was -0.45%, reflecting generally modest but directionally mixed reactions to financial updates.

Recent earnings history shows PSHG staying profitable while transitioning its fleet: moving from primarily Aframax tonnage toward LR2 and Suezmax exposure, expanding secured revenue backlog, and using vessel sales and bond financing to fund growth. Today’s Q4/FY 2025 results extend that progression with higher annual net income, new long-term charters, and continued investment in modern tankers.

Key Terms

time charter equivalent (tce), tce rate, time-charter, floating storage, +4 more
8 terms
time charter equivalent (tce) technical
"We generated revenues of $84.2 million, with a daily time charter equivalent (TCE) rate..."
Time charter equivalent (TCE) is a standardized measure of a ship’s daily revenue after deducting the variable costs of a voyage, such as fuel and port fees, so different routes, charter types and ship sizes can be compared on an apples-to-apples basis. Investors use TCE to judge how much operating cash a vessel or fleet is effectively earning per day — like comparing take-home pay after expenses for different jobs — which helps assess profitability and cash flow quality.
tce rate technical
"Fleetwide, the average TCE rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $32,221..."
TCE rate (Time Charter Equivalent rate) measures the average daily revenue a cargo ship earns on a voyage after deducting voyage-specific costs such as fuel, port fees and canal tolls; it is reported as a dollar amount per day. Investors use it to compare operating performance and profitability across ships and contracts — like comparing cars by miles-per-gallon — and to assess revenue trends, cash flow and fleet valuation for shipping companies.
time-charter technical
"Upon delivery in December 2025, both vessels commenced three-year time-charter contracts..."
A time-charter is a contract in which a shipowner rents a vessel to a charterer for a set period, with the owner providing the crew and maintaining the ship while the charterer directs where and how it operates. Think of it like leasing a truck with a driver for a few months: the renter controls the work and earns revenue from cargo moves, while the owner gets steady payments. For investors, time-charters give predictable cash flow, reduce short-term exposure to volatile spot rates, and affect a shipping company’s revenue stability and asset utilization.
floating storage technical
"The number of tankers used for floating storage (excluding dedicated storage) stood at 119..."
Floating storage is the practice of keeping a commodity, typically oil or gas, on a ship or barge instead of in onshore tanks when storage on land is full or when traders expect higher prices later. Think of it like parking goods in a rented trailer on water until it’s worth more to sell; this affects market signals about supply and demand, shipping costs, and short-term inventory levels that investors use to judge price pressure and trading strategies.
non-gaap financial
"TCE is a non-GAAP measure. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure..."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
warrants financial
"the following common share purchase warrants were outstanding as of such date..."
Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.
convertible cumulative perpetual preferred stock financial
"50,726 shares of its Series B Convertible Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock..."
A convertible cumulative perpetual preferred stock is a hybrid security that pays regular fixed dividends like a bond but is legally equity; missed dividends accumulate and must be paid later, and the shares have no fixed maturity date. Investors can convert these shares into common stock under set terms, offering potential upside but also possible dilution for existing shareholders. It matters because it combines steady income, long-term capital tie-up, and conversion-driven changes to ownership and risk.
deadweight (dwt) technical
"Tanker fleet supply was 709.92 million dwt, up 0.4% from 707.3 million dwt..."
Deadweight (dwt) is the maximum weight a vessel can safely carry, including cargo, fuel, water, crew, and supplies, measured in metric tonnes. Think of it like a truck’s payload limit: it sets how much revenue-generating cargo a ship can transport and determines operational range and fuel needs. For investors, dwt helps compare fleet capacity, potential freight income, and how a ship’s size affects charter rates and cost efficiency.

ATHENS, Greece, March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Performance Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ: PSHG) (“we” or the “Company”), a global shipping company specializing in the ownership of tanker vessels, today reported net income of $7.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net income of $9.7 million for the same period in 2024. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $0.57 and $0.19, respectively.

Revenue was $26.2 million ($24.6 million net of voyage expenses) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $21.7 million ($19.8 million net of voyage expenses) for the same period in 2024. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in ownership days following the delivery of the newbuilding vessels P. Massport and P. Tokyo in July and September 2025, respectively. Fleetwide, the average TCE rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $32,221, compared with an average rate of $32,652 for the same period in 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.7 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $12.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $50.0 million, compared to a net income of $43.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $3.87 and $1.28, respectively, while earnings per common share, basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $3.39 and $1.11, respectively.

Commenting on the results of the fourth quarter of 2025, Andreas Michalopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:

“Fiscal year 2025 represented another solid year for our Company. We generated revenues of $84.2 million, with a daily time charter equivalent (TCE) rate of $31,246, modestly below the strong results of 2024, when revenues reached $87.4 million and the TCE rate was $32,954. We nevertheless continued to deliver robust profitability, with net income rising to $50.0 million, supported in part by a gain from a vessel sale. These results demonstrate the strength of our operations and our ability to pursue opportunities in a profitable tanker market.

“Looking ahead, we believe 2026 is expected to be another firm year for the tanker market, supported by solid growth in seaborne trade of oil and refined petroleum products, increased exports from the Middle East and Latin America, firm Chinese demand, and continued trade sanctions. These market dynamics are expected to be sufficiently strong to absorb moderate fleet growth. As of the beginning of the year, we had a robust revenue backlog of approximately $350 million, with fixed charter coverage of approximately 88% for 2026 and 72% for 2027, providing significant cash flow visibility. Given the favorable charter rate environment, we are confident that the three vessels becoming available for employment later this year will secure attractive charter arrangements.

“At the same time, we continue to execute our fleet renewal and expansion strategy, enhancing both the commercial competitiveness and operational efficiency of our fleet. The delivery of our two 2019-built Suezmax tankers in December 2025, both operating under three-year charters at $36,500 per day, along with the delivery of our third LR2 Aframax newbuilding in January 2026 currently operating under a five-year charter at $31,000 per day, represent significant milestones for our strategy. Pro forma these additions and the opportunistic sale of our oldest vessel, M/T P. Sophia in mid-2026, our average fleet age will decline to nine years. The construction of our first LR1, expected to be delivered in early 2027, will further enhance our fleet quality. In addition, our recently signed shipbuilding contracts with China Shipbuilding Trading Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. for two 158,000 DWT Suezmax tankers will expand our presence in the Suezmax segment which we believe benefits from constructive medium and long-term market fundamentals, further supporting our long-term growth.

“Our balance sheet remains strong, supported by $49.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of year-end 2025. Following the successful completion of our bond tap issue in January 2026 and pro forma the expected gross proceeds from the M/T P. Sophia sale, our cash position is projected to increase to approximately $135 million. We remain committed to executing our fleet expansion strategy, while continuing to maintain prudent capital allocation and disciplined leverage management.”

Tanker Market Update for the Fourth Quarter of 2025:

  • Tanker fleet supply was 709.92 million dwt, up 0.4% from 707.3 million dwt from the previous quarter and up 2.1% from Q4 2024 levels of 695.3 million dwt.
  • Tanker demand has entered 2026 on firm footing, supported by elevated export volumes following increased oil production, strong Middle East and Latin America exports, resilient Chinese import demand, and shifting Venezuelan flows. In parallel, mainstream tonnage has been increasingly utilized, while ongoing geopolitical uncertainty further underpins demand conditions. As a result, in 2026 and 2027, seaborne oil trade in tonne-miles is expected to grow by approximately 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively.
  • Tanker fleet supply in deadweight terms is estimated to grow by 4.2% in 2026 and by 5.5% in 2027.
  • Newbuilding tanker contracting was 22.2 million dwt in the fourth quarter, resulting in a tanker orderbook-to-fleet ratio of 17.8%.
  • Daily spot charter rates for Aframax tankers averaged $61,382, up 61.1% from the previous quarter average of $38,107 and up 58.4% from Q4 2024 average of $38,746.
  • The value of a 10-year-old Aframax tanker at the end of the fourth quarter was $55.0 million, up 10.0% from $50.0 million in the previous quarter, and up 5.8% from $52.0 million in Q4 2024.
  • Daily spot charter rates for Suezmax tankers averaged $77,370, up 50.6% from the previous quarter average of $51,385 and up 80.1% from Q4 2024 average of $42,948.

Supplemental Information

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, killing Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei. In retaliation, Iranian missiles and drones targeted Israel and a number of countries that host US military bases—including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia—and Hezbollah fired projectiles at Israel. While there is significant uncertainty about the duration of the war in Iran, the White House has stated that it may be a protracted engagement. These events have destabilized the region and may lead to significant disruptions across all sectors of the shipping industry. Further, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway essential to the shipment of crude oil and refined petroleum, may experience prolonged disruption. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned vessels to avoid the passage. Increased electronic interference may affect navigational and tracking systems, which would heighten the risk of vessel collisions. One of our vessels, the M/T P. Aliki, chartered to Pakistan National Shipping Corporation, is currently operating within the Persian Gulf. Although it is impossible to predict exactly how this conflict will affect the tanker industry, it is very likely that a prolonged war will have significant impacts across the sector.

___________________

(1) Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire. The specific calculation counts as on-hire the days of the ballast leg of the spot voyages, as long as a charter party is in place. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.
   
(2) Time charter equivalent rates, or TCE rates, are defined as revenue (voyage, time charter and pool revenue), less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel) expenses, canal charges and commissions. TCE is a non-GAAP measure. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage (spot) charters, time charters and bareboat charters).
   
(3) Daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance and vessel registry, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the costs of spares and consumable stores, lubricant costs, tonnage taxes, regulatory fees, environmental costs, lay-up expenses and other miscellaneous expenses, are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant period.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the strength of world economies, fluctuations in currencies and interest rates, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the tanker shipping industry, changes in the supply of vessels, changes in worldwide oil production and consumption and storage, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, crew costs, drydocking and insurance costs, our future operating or financial results, availability of financing and refinancing including with respect to vessels we agree to acquire, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, the length and severity of epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19, and their impact on the demand for seaborne transportation of petroleum and other types of products, general domestic and international political conditions or events, including “trade wars”, armed conflicts including the war in Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas and between Israel and the US and Iran, the imposition of new international sanctions, acts by terrorists or acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels, potential disruption of shipping routes due to political events, armed conflict, accidents or labor disputes, vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other important factors. Please see our filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
