Insights

Financial Analyst

Pyxis Tankers delivered mixed Q4 2024 results that reveal significant pressure on its core shipping operations while demonstrating disciplined financial management. The company reported $12.0 million in quarterly revenues, down 9.2% year-over-year, with a much sharper 33.6% decline in time charter equivalent revenues to $7.9 million. Adjusted net income fell dramatically to just $0.3 million ($0.03 per share) from $21.6 million in Q4 2023, though this comparison is skewed by previous year's vessel sale gain.

The operational metrics tell a concerning story about market conditions. MR tanker daily rates dropped 27.6% to $22,084 while dry-bulk carrier rates fell 31.6% to $11,582. Both segments also experienced lower utilization rates (MR tankers at 89.5% vs. 97.7% prior year; dry-bulk at 77.9% vs. 95.7%), indicating broader market weakness beyond Pyxis's control.

Despite quarterly challenges, the company's full-year 2024 performance showed resilience with revenues increasing 13.4% to $51.5 million and net income of $12.9 million. Management completed two significant shareholder-friendly initiatives: redemption of all preferred shares, eliminating potential dilution of 1.8 million common shares, and completion of a $3.0 million share repurchase program at favorable prices.

The outlook for 2025 appears challenging with vessel supply growth potentially outpacing demand in both the product tanker and dry-bulk markets. However, management has positioned the company to potentially capitalize on declining vessel prices through disciplined capital allocation while maintaining financial flexibility through strong banking relationships and continued debt reduction.

This quarter marks an inflection point for Pyxis, demonstrating their ability to generate profits despite deteriorating market conditions while simultaneously strengthening their capital structure. The strategic financial moves should better position the company for the challenging environment ahead, though investors should closely monitor charter rates and utilization metrics in coming quarters as indicators of market direction.

Shipping Industry Specialist

Pyxis Tankers' Q4 2024 results reveal substantial market deterioration in both the product tanker and dry-bulk sectors. The 27.6% decline in MR tanker daily rates to $22,084 and 31.6% drop in dry-bulk rates to $11,582 represent significant industry-wide pressures rather than company-specific issues. These rate declines, coupled with lower fleet utilization (MRs at 89.5% vs prior year's 97.7%), directly translated to weaker financial performance.

The company's revenue mix is particularly telling - with 79% of MR employment in the volatile spot market during Q4. This strategic choice increased voyage-related costs by 219% year-over-year as shipowners bear these expenses in spot arrangements. The resulting squeeze on margins is evident in the sharp contraction of adjusted EBITDA to $3.3 million from $7.7 million in Q4 2023.

Looking at supply fundamentals, the current MR orderbook of 282 vessels (16.3% of global fleet) presents a concerning picture for 2025, with management projecting approximately 5% net fleet growth. While potential scrapping of 277 older vessels (16% of fleet being 20+ years old) could provide some relief, supply growth will likely outpace demand absent significant geopolitical disruptions. The dry-bulk outlook appears even more challenging with supply growth explicitly expected to exceed demand growth.

Pyxis has positioned itself for this challenging environment through strategic fleet optimization. Their three modern eco-efficient MRs provide operational advantages in a weakening market, while the addition of two 2015-built scrubber-fitted Kamsarmax bulk carriers in 2024 reflects calculated diversification. The planned installation of "advanced, fuel-saving devices" on vessels undergoing special surveys demonstrates appropriate focus on operational efficiency amid market headwinds.

The industry landscape for 2025 will likely be defined by this supply-demand imbalance, with potential support coming from ton-mile effects (Middle East tensions, Russian trade disruptions) and IMF-projected global GDP growth of 3.3%. For Pyxis specifically, their disciplined approach to capital allocation and strengthened balance sheet positions them well for potential countercyclical acquisitions as asset values continue declining - a classic industry pattern that benefits well-capitalized operators during market downturns.

Maroussi, Greece, March 13, 2025 – Pyxis Tankers Inc. (Nasdaq Cap Mkts: PXS), (the “Company” or “Pyxis Tankers”), an international shipping company, today announced unaudited results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, our revenues, net were $12.0 million. For the same period, our time charter equivalent (“TCE”) revenues were $7.9 million, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 33.6%, over the comparable period in 2023. Our Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter, 2024 was $0.3 million with Adjusted income per common share of $0.03 basic and diluted. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2024, was $3.3 million, a decrease of $4.5 million over the comparable period in 2023.

On October 20, 2024, the Company fully redeemed all the remaining outstanding 303,171 shares of its 7.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares”) for $7.6 million. Upon redemption, all outstanding Preferred Shares were cancelled by the Company, cash dividends in respect of these shares were no longer payable and the right to convert the Preferred Shares into an aggregate of 1,353,442 common shares was extinguished. The Preferred Shares also ceased trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, where they were previously listed under the ticker symbol “PXSAP.”

As the fair value of the Preferred Shares redemption was greater than the carrying amount, a retained earnings reduction of $2.7 million was recognized as a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders in the fourth quarter for the full PXSAP redemption. Consequently, in the fourth quarter, 2024, the Νet loss attributable to common shareholders was $2.4 million or $0.23 basic and diluted loss per share.  Please see “Non-GAAP Measures and Definitions” below, including “Adjusted net income”, which reflects the effect from the full redemption of our Preferred Shares.

Our CEO, Valentios Valentis, commented “Profitable last quarter amid deteriorating market conditions”

We reported our fourth fiscal quarter, 2024 results with Revenues, net of $12.0 million and Adjusted net income of $0.3 million for the period.

During this recent quarter, the product tanker sector experienced decelerating chartering activity due to softening global demand for transportation fuels, seasonal refinery maintenance and moderating inventories of various refined petroleum products. In the quarter ended December 31, 2024, our MR2 tankers, or MRs, generated an average TCE rate of $22,084 per day. Since the beginning of 2025, the product tanker environment has remained volatile. As of March 13, 2025 our MRs were booked at an average estimated TCE of $25,079 per day, with 85% of our MR available days booked in the quarter ending March 31, 2025. Our fleet of three modern eco-efficient MRs is currently employed under short-term time charters for two vessels and on spot voyage for one tanker.

On the dry-bulk side, chartering conditions have remained disappointing due to soft demand for certain commodities and the declining growth of the Chinese economy. In the quarter ended December 31, 2024, our three mid-sized bulkers generated an average TCE rate of $11,582 per day. As of March 13, 2025, our bulkers were booked at an average estimated TCE of $15,028 per day, with 78% of available days booked in the quarter ending March 31, 2025. All of our dry-bulk carriers are currently employed under short-term time charters, with the exception of one vessel undergoing its special survey.

Optimistic view with challenges ahead – Stable demand but, growing vessel supply

For the remainder of 2025, we expect the chartering environment for both product tankers and the dry-bulk market to remain challenging. While stable global demand for seaborne cargoes of a broad range of refined petroleum products and dry-bulk commodities is expected to continue, vessel supply is anticipated to increase due to scheduled deliveries of newbuilds. However, the supply growth is projected to remain relatively manageable for this year. Historically, demand growth for many refined products and dry-bulk commodities has been reasonably correlated to global GDP growth. The IMF recently estimated that global economies will grow annually by 3.3% in both 2025 and 2026. According to Drewry, as of February 28, 2025, the MR orderbook stood at 282 tankers, or 16.3% of global fleet, but 277 MRs, or 16%, are 20 years of age or more. Net supply growth for MR2 of approximately 5% this year is a fair estimate in our opinion. On the dry-bulk side, fleet growth for 2025 is expected to outpace demand growth. However, potential scrapping and slow-steaming of a large number of older bulkers could help mitigate some of the pressure on chartering conditions.  Overall fundamental cargo demand is further supported by the ton-mile effects stemming from the continued hostilities of the Russian-Ukrainian war and tensions in the Middle East, as well as resurgence of piracy off the east coast of Somalia. While the possibility of lasting peace and the prospect of softening monetary policies by many central banks promote some optimism, the growing complexity within our sectors, coupled with the uncertainty surrounding macro-economic conditions and global events, including the impact of tariffs and other trade restrictions, necessitate continued prudent management.

Concluded major financial initiatives to enhance shareholder value – common stock buyback program completed & convertible preferred stock fully redeemed to avert potential dilution

At the end of January 2025 we fully utilized our prior authorized expanded $3.0 million common share repurchase program. Since summer 2023, we have acquired over 730,000 common shares in the open market at an average cost of $4.03 per share, excluding commissions. As of the date of this report, we have no ability under our common share repurchase program to purchase any additional common shares. During 2024, we also redeemed all of the outstanding Preferred Shares, which eliminated potential shareholder dilution of approximately 1.8 million common shares. This financial milestone also removed the associated monthly cash dividends, while simultaneously strengthening the trading profile and market perception of our common shares.

With an aggregate investment of $13.1 million in equity repurchases, we have effectively preserved shareholder value by preventing dilution of more than 2.5 million common shares, representing 19.4% of diluted shares, safeguarding the long-term interests of our shareholders.

Potential acquisition opportunities on the horizon as our fleet becomes “greener”

In the second half of 2024, ship values started to decline, creating what we believe will be compelling opportunities in the near future to expand our fleet of mid-sized, modern eco-efficient vessels in both in the product tanker and dry-bulk sectors. In light of this market shift, we expect to maintain our disciplined approach to capital allocation, until more attractive situations materialize which may further enable us to enhance shareholder value. Our strong financial position and deep banking relationships, provides us with the flexibility to pursue acquisition opportunities when these arise. In the near-term, we expect to continue to utilize our operating cash flow to further enhance balance sheet liquidity, repay scheduled debt and complete our high-quality maintenance program. Lastly, this spring, two of our vessels will undergo scheduled special surveys, which will include the installation of advanced, fuel-saving devices to further improve their environmental efficiency.”

The weighted average number of basic shares remained at 10.6 million in the most recent period versus the fourth quarter, 2023. The average MR daily TCE rate during the fourth quarter of 2024 was $22,084 or 27.6% lower than the $30,484 MR daily TCE rate for the same period in 2023, due to increased unfixed days of 29 in the most recent period from four days in 2023. The dry-bulk carriers had an average daily TCE rate of $11,582 for the fourth quarter of 2024 or 31.6% lower than the $16,932 daily TCE rate in the same period in 2023 due to poor market conditions. The revenue mix of the MRs for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 21% under short-term time charters and 79% from spot market employment, while the bulkers were only hired for short-term time charters. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $4.5 million to $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 from $7.7 million for the same period in 2023.

Results for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024

Amounts relating to variations in period–on–period comparisons shown in this section are derived from the unaudited consolidated financials presented below.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Results for the Three Months ended December 31, 2023 and 2024

Amounts relating to variations in period–on–period comparisons shown in this section are derived from the interim consolidated financials presented below (Amounts are presented in million U.S. dollars, rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand, except as otherwise noted).

Revenues, net: Revenues, net of $12.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, represented a decrease of $1.2 million, or 9.2%, from $13.2 million in the comparable period of 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2024, our average daily TCE rate for our MR fleet was $22,084, a $8,400 per day decrease from $30,484 for the same period in 2023. This decline in Revenues, net was the result of operating one less MR, softer charter rates as well as lower utilization of 89.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024 in comparison to the 97.7% in the same period of 2023. Also, in the most recent quarter, our dry-bulk average daily TCE rate was $11,582, a $5,350 per day decrease from $16,932 for the same period in 2023. This decrease was the result of lower dry-bulk charter rates and utilization of 77.9% in comparison to the 95.7% in the same period, 2023. Total fleet ownership days in the fourth quarter of 2024 were 552 for an average 6.0 vessels compared with 443 days for an average 4.8 vessels for the same period of 2023. This increase was due to the acquisition of the two Kamsarmax dry-bulk vessels earlier in 2024, counterbalanced by the sale of “Pyxis Epsilon” in December 2023.

Voyage related costs and commissions: Voyage related costs and commissions of $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, represented an increase of $2.8 million, or 219%, from $1.3 million in the same period of 2023, primarily as a result of higher spot employment for our MRs from 96 days, including the unfixed days, in the fourth quarter in 2023 to 195 days in the same period of 2024 and the lower utilization in bulkers. Under spot charters, all voyage expenses are typically borne by us rather than the charterer and an increase in spot employment results in increased voyage related costs.

Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses of $3.5 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, represented an increase of $0.3 million, or 11.0%, from $3.1 million in the same period of 2023, reflecting the expansion of our fleet from the dry-bulk acquisitions. Vessel ownership days for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, was 552 days compared to 443 for the same period, 2023.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses of $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 represented an increase of $0.1 million, or 18.0%, from $0.6 million in the same period of 2023, reflecting increased professionals’ fees and inflationary cost pressures. Also administrative fees due to Maritime have been adjusted by 3.5% to reflect the 2023 inflation rate in Greece.

Management fees: For the three months ended December 31, 2024, management fees charged from our tanker ship manager, Pyxis Maritime Corp. (“Maritime”), our dry-bulk ship manager Konkar Shipping Agencies S.A. (“Konkar Agencies”), both affiliated entities with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Valentis, and from International Tanker Management Ltd. (“ITM”), the technical manager of our MRs, remained in the same level of $0.5 million compared to the 2023 same period.

Amortization of special survey costs: Amortization of special survey costs of $0.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, remained flat compared to the same period of 2023.

Depreciation: Depreciation of $1.9 million for the quarter that ended December 31, 2024, represented an increase of $0.4 million, or 22.7% compared to $1.6 million in 2023 and reflected additional depreciation for the acquired bulkers “Konkar Ormi”, “Konkar Asteri” and “Konkar Venture” partially offset by depreciation ceasing of the sold tanker “Pyxis Epsilon”.

Gain from the sale of vessels, net: During the quarter that ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a gain of $17.1 million from the sale of the “Pyxis Epsilon”, which was delivered to her new owners on December 15, 2023.

Interest and finance costs, net: Interest and finance costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, were $1.6 million remained flat compared to the same period of 2023. This was attributed to higher average debt levels which were offset by lower SOFR referenced interest rates paid on all the floating rate bank debt as well as amendments for two of our loan agreements for the “Pyxis Lamda” and the “Pyxis Theta” to include reduced interest rate margins.

Interest income: Interest income of $0.5 million received during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, increased slightly compared to same period in 2023, due to larger average balances of short-term time deposits during the most recent period offset by lower interest rates.

Loss/(Gain) assumed by non-controlling interest: Loss assumed by the non-controlling interest for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, of $0.2 million compared to gain assumed by the non-controlling interest for the fourth quarter of 2023 of $0.1 million represented $0.2 million decrease attributable to the Non-Controlling Interest (the “NCI”) in the joint ventures for the dry-bulk carriers “Konkar Ormi” and “Konkar Venture”.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Results for the Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024
Amounts relating to variations in period–on–period comparisons shown in this section are derived from the consolidated financials presented below (Amounts are presented in million U.S. dollars, rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand, except as otherwise noted).

Revenues, net: Revenues, net of $51.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, represented an increase of $6.1 million, or 13.4%, from $45.5 million in the comparable period of 2023. In the year ended December 31, 2024, our MR average daily TCE rate was $29,289, a $2,656 per day or 10% increase from $26,633 per day in 2023 primarily due to the higher demurrage revenue. Also, in the year ended December 31, 2024, our dry-bulk average daily TCE rate of $15,353 remained in the same level compared to daily TCE rate of $15,323 for the prior year. However, as the year progressed, we experienced declining dry-bulk charter rates and utilization. In 2024, our bulker utilization was 82.9% as compared to 80.7% in 2023. Total fleet ownership days in the year ended December 31, 2024 was 1,971 for an average 5.4 vessels compared with 1,634 days for an average 4.5 vessels for the same period of 2023. This increase was due to the dry-bulk vessel acquisitions of the “Konkar Ormi” in September 2023, the “Konkar Asteri” in February 2024 and the “Konkar Venture” in June 2024, counterbalanced by the MR sales of the “Pyxis Malou” in March 2023 and the “Pyxis Epsilon” in December 2023.

Voyage related costs and commissions: Voyage related costs and commissions of $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, represented an increase of $3.2 million, or 50.0%, from $6.4 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily a result of higher spot employment for our fleet from 402 days, including the unfixed days, in the year ended in December 31, 2023 to 621 days in 2024. Under spot charters, all voyage expenses are typically borne by us rather than the charterer and an increase in spot employment results in increased voyage related costs.

Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses of $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, represented a $1.7 million or 15.0% increase compared to $11.6 million in 2023. This increase was mainly attributed to 337 additional ownership days to 1,971 days for the year ended December 31, 2024 from 1,634 days in 2023, due to the fleet expansion of the dry-bulk carriers, partially offset by the MR sales of the “Pyxis Malou” in March 2023 and the “Pyxis Epsilon” in December 2023.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, represented a decrease of $0.5 million or 13.1%, from $3.4 million in 2023, mainly due to the performance bonus of $0.6 million paid in the previous year to Maritime. The General and administrative expenses also include a non-cash charge of the common shares granted under the Company’s existing Employee Incentive Program (the “EIP”) of $63 thousand and $171 thousand in fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively. In November 2024 our Board of Directors approved the issuance of a total of 72,500 restricted common shares under the existing EIP to employees, board members and Company’s affiliates. In May 2023 the Board of Directors approved the issuance of a total of 55,000 restricted common shares, under the EIP to a similar group of recipients, of which 20,000 vested during the fourth quarter of 2024. In addition, administrative fees due to Maritime were increased by 3.5% to reflect the 2023 inflation rate in Greece.

Management fees: For the year ended December 31, 2024, management fees paid to Maritime, ITM and Konkar Agencies of $1.7 million in the aggregate, represented an increase of $0.2 million or 12.9% compared to $1.5 million in 2023. The increase was the result of the three dry-bulk carrier acquisitions partially offset by the two MR sales. Also, ship management fees due to Maritime for 2024 were adjusted by 3.5% to reflect the inflationary effects in Greece from the prior year.  

Amortization of special survey costs: Amortization of special survey costs of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, remained flat compared to 2023.

Depreciation: Depreciation of $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, represented an increase of $1.4 million, or 25.5% compared to $5.5 million in 2023 reflecting the additional depreciation for the recently acquired bulkers “Konkar Ormi”, “Konkar Asteri” and “Konkar Venture” partially offset by depreciation ceasing for the sold tankers “Pyxis Malou” and “Pyxis Epsilon” in 2023.

Gain from the sale of vessels, net: During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded total gains of $25.1 million, including an $8.0 million gain from the sale of the “Pyxis Malou”, which occurred in the first quarter of 2023, and $17.1 million gain from the sale of the “Pyxis Epsilon”, which occurred in December 2023.
                                                                                                                                                                       
Loss from debt extinguishment: During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a loss from debt extinguishment of $0.4 million reflecting the write-off of the remaining unamortized balance of deferred financing costs, which were associated with the loan repayments of the sold vessels “Pyxis Malou” and “Pyxis Epsilon” and the debt refinancing of the “Pyxis Karteria”.

Interest and finance costs, net: Interest and finance costs, net, for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $6.5 million, compared to $5.8 million in the comparable period in 2023, an increase of $0.7 million, or 11.9%. This increase was primarily attributable to a higher average debt level, partially offset by the lower SOFR indexed rates paid on all the floating rate bank debt. Moreover, on July 30, 2024, we agreed with an existing bank to refinance the debt of one of our subsidiaries, the Seventhone Corp. The amended loan agreement provides a five year amortizing bank loan, due July 2029, with similar quarterly repayments, priced at SOFR plus 2.40% (reduced from 3.35%) and secured by, among other things, the vessel “Pyxis Theta”. In addition, the same lender agreed to reduce the interest margin from 3.15% to 2.40% applicable to our subsidiary’s Eleventhone Corp. (“Pyxis Lamda”) credit facility which matures in December 2026. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of these two separate loans aggregated $25.8 million, and the average reduction in interest margin was 85 basis points. In addition to scheduled loan amortization, we prepaid the $6.0 million 7.5% Promissory Note in full during the first quarter of 2023. In March, 2023, we completed the debt refinancing of the “Pyxis Karteria”, our 2013 built vessel, with a $15.5 million five year secured loan from a new lender. The loan is priced at SOFR plus 2.7%.

Interest income: Interest income from time deposits, $2.3 million received during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2023, represented an increase of $1.1 million or 86.5% due to larger average balances of short-term time deposits offset by lower interest rates.

Loss assumed by non-controlling interest: Loss assumed by non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.4 million, a $0.2 million or 79.6% increase compared to $0.2 million for 2023. This represents the 40% share of the loss which is attributable to the NCI in the two single ship dry-bulk joint ventures.

Liquidity, Debt and Capital Structure

Our total funded debt, net of deferred financing costs, at December 31, 2024 of $84.5 million. Pursuant to our loan agreements, as of December 31, 2024, we were required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $1.35 million. Total cash and cash equivalents, including the minimum liquidity classified as restricted cash and cash that has been classified as a short-term investment in time deposits, aggregated to $39.6 million as of December 31, 2024.

(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)			December 31,
			2023		2024
Total funded debt, net of deferred financing costs		$	60,950	$	84,524

On December 31, 2024, our weighted average interest rate on our total funded debt for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was 7.77% and on the same date the weighted average interest margin was 2.38%. At that date, we had short-term interest-bearing investments of $17.0 million. Our next loan maturity is scheduled for December, 2026 with a balloon principal payment of $12.2 million due on the 2017 built “Pyxis Lamda”. 

In October 2024, 460 Preferred Shares were converted which resulted in the issuance of 2,053 common shares. In addition, 1,474 non-tradeable underwriter’s warrants were exercised which resulted in the issuance of 1,403 of our publicly traded warrants (Nasdaq Cap Mkts: PXSAW).

On October 20, 2024, we redeemed all of our remaining 303,171 Preferred Shares at the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share along with the payment of a final cash dividend, accrued till the redemption date. Upon redemption, all outstanding Preferred Shares were cancelled by the Company, monthly cash dividends with respect to these shares were no longer payable and the right to convert the outstanding Preferred Shares into 1,353,442 common shares was extinguished. The Preferred Shares also ceased trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, where they were previously listed under the ticker symbol “PXSAP.” The difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the Preferred Shares, which aggregated $2.7 million, was recognized as a reduction of the retained earnings by a deemed dividend and has been reflected in the calculations of income per common share, basic for 2024.

In November 2024, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of a total of 72,500 restricted common shares under the existing EIP to certain employees, board members and Company affiliates. The restricted shares have a vesting period of 12 months through November 2025.

Under our authorized expanded common share buy-back program of $3.0 million, during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 160,690 PXS common shares at an average price of $4.09 per share, excluding brokerage commissions, or $657 thousand in total. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased a total of 331,558 common shares at an average price of $4.39 per share, excluding brokerage commissions, utilizing $1.46 million, excluding brokerage commissions, under this share re-purchase program which expires in May 2025.

On December 31, 2024, we had a total of 10,553,399 common shares issued and outstanding of which Mr. Valentis beneficially owned 56.9%, and 1,592,465 warrants (NASDAQ Cap Mkts: PXSAW), which have an exercise price of $5.60, (excluding 2,000 and 2,683 Preferred Shares purchase warrants which have an exercise price of $24.92 and $25.00 per share, respectively and non-tradeable underwriter’s common stock purchase warrants of which 107,143 and 1,986 have exercise prices of $8.75 and $5.60, respectively).

Subsequent Events

After the year ended December 31, 2024, and as of January 30, 2025 we have repurchased an additional 67,534 PXS common shares at an average price of $3.91 per share, excluding brokerage commissions, or an incremental $264 thousand under the share buy-back program.

On January 30, 2025, we fully utilized the remaining amount under our prior authorized $3.0 million common share repurchase program. Since summer 2023, we have acquired a total of 730,683 common shares in the open market at an average cost of $4.03 per share, excluding commissions. As of the date of this report, we have no ability under our common share repurchase program to purchase any additional common shares. After the completion of these additional open market purchases, as of January 30, 2025, we had 10,485,865 common shares outstanding of which 57.3% were beneficially owned by Mr. Valentis.

Non-GAAP Measures and Definitions

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) represent the sum of net income, 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 interest income, loss from debt extinguishment, loss or gain from financial derivative instrument and loss or gain from sales of vessels. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted income per common share 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 income, as reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Net Income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted net income excludes the non-recurring effect of the full redemption of Preferred Shares. The earnings are adjusted to exclude $2.7 million which was recognized as a reduction in the retained earnings by a deemed dividend. The following table reconciles Net income attributable to common shareholders and Adjusted net income.

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 the 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 minimize the number 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.
