Maroussi, Greece, November 15, 2021 – Pyxis Tankers Inc. (NASDAQ Cap Mkts: PXS) (the “Company” or “Pyxis Tankers”), an international pure play product tanker company, today announced its unaudited results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021.
Summary
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, our Revenues, net were
Valentios Valentis, our Chairman and CEO commented:
“The chartering environment for product tankers in the third quarter of 2021 continued to be depressed, primarily due to a poor spot market. The period market, albeit more stable than the spot market, also encountered a further decline in activity. In the third quarter of 2021, the average TCE for our medium range tankers (“MRs”) was
Greater demand for refined petroleum products, especially from Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) economies recovering from COVID-19, have helped reduce global inventories to levels at or below 5-year averages. According to the IEA, in September oil inventories within the OECD fell to their lowest level since 2015. Overall, global oil demand is forecasted to increase by 5.5 million barrels/day in 2021 and a further 3.3 million barrels in 2022 to 99.6 mb/d, slightly above pre-COVID-19 levels. Additionally, refined products tanker ton-mile demand could be bolstered by geographic dislocations taking place in the global refinery industry as new capacity is being added in the Middle East and Asia, while refinery capacity is being reduced or constrained in the US, Europe and Australia. Continued high refinery utilization and improving transportation activities are positive signs for tanker rates. For example, global gasoline demand is now
While we maintain a positive outlook about the long-term prospects of the product tanker sector and the expanding global economic recovery, we are guarded about the impact of potential new COVID variants. Improving global GDP growth and expanding personal and commercial mobility should increase demand for seaborne transportation of a broad range of petroleum products. The International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) recently updated its global growth forecast to
Based on our optimistic view of the tanker market, we have decided to further expand our fleet. In July 2021 we acquired a 2013 built eco-efficient MR which we named the “Pyxis Karteria” and on November 15, 2021, we signed a Memorandum of Agreement to acquire from an affiliated company, the “Pyxis Lamda”, a 2017-built 50,296 dwt. eco-efficient MR that was constructed at SPP Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (“SPP”) in South Korea, for
We believe that these acquisitions (including the acquisition of Pyxis Karteria earlier this year) of quality modern tonnage will set us on a path towards future growth and optimally position the Company to participate in the expected recovery of our sector.”

Non-GAAP Measures and Definitions
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) represents the sum of net income / (loss), interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a period. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before certain non-operating or non-recurring charges, such as vessel impairment charges, gain from debt extinguishment and stock compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors with means of evaluating and understanding how our management evaluates operating performance. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect:
- our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
- cash requirements necessary to service interest and principal payments on our funded debt.
In addition, these non-GAAP measures do not have standardized meanings and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The following table reconciles net loss, as reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

Daily TCE is a shipping industry performance measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Daily TCE is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We utilize daily TCE because we believe it is a meaningful measure to compare period-to-period changes in our performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e. spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which our vessels may be employed between the periods. Our management also utilizes daily TCE to assist them in making decisions regarding employment of the vessels. We calculate daily TCE by dividing Revenues, net after deducting Voyage related costs and commissions, by operating days for the relevant period. Voyage related costs and commissions primarily consist of brokerage commissions, 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.
Vessel operating expenses (“Opex”) per day are our vessel operating expenses for a vessel, which primarily consist of crew wages and related costs, insurance, lube oils, communications, spares and consumables, tonnage taxes as well as repairs and maintenance, divided by the ownership days in the applicable period.
We calculate utilization (“Utilization”) by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during the same period. We use fleet utilization to measure our efficiency in finding suitable employment for our vessels and minimizing the amount of days that our vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings or vessel positioning. Ownership days are the total number of days in a period during which we owned each of the vessels in our fleet. Available days are the number of ownership days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings and the aggregate number of days that we spent positioning our vessels during the respective period for such repairs, upgrades and surveys. Operating days are the number of available days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire or out of service due to any reason, including technical breakdowns and unforeseen circumstances.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and daily TCE are not recognized measures under U.S. GAAP and should not be regarded as substitutes for Revenues, net and Net income. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and daily TCE does not imply, and should not be construed as an inference, that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

About Pyxis Tankers Inc.
We own a modern fleet of six tankers, including the recent delivery of the Pyxis Karteria, engaged in seaborne transportation of refined petroleum products and other bulk liquids. We are focused on growing our fleet of medium range product tankers, which provide operational flexibility and enhanced earnings potential due to their “eco” features and modifications. Pyxis Tankers is positioned to opportunistically expand and maximize the value of its fleet due to competitive cost structure, strong customer relationships and an experienced management team, whose interests are aligned with those of its shareholders.
