Insights
The reported financial results indicate a significant decline in Net Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, with a shift from a substantial Net Income in the previous year to a Net Loss in the current quarter. The reduction of the Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rate year-over-year reflects market volatility and potential challenges in the shipping industry. The dividend declaration, despite the loss, suggests a strategy to maintain shareholder confidence and could impact the company's cash reserves. The share buyback program could be an attempt to stabilize the stock price and deliver value to shareholders.
Investors should consider the company's long-term debt and financial liabilities in relation to its cash position and shareholders' equity. The strategic focus on the dry bulk sector and the acquisition of new vessels indicate a long-term growth plan, which could lead to increased capacity and potential market share gains. However, the industry's cyclical nature and the current economic climate could pose risks to this strategy.
The dry bulk shipping market is known for its volatility, influenced by global economic conditions, trade flows and commodity demand. The company's transition to larger dry bulk vessels and the timing of acquisitions might capitalize on the reported strong market conditions in the first quarter. The fleet expansion without dilutive equity offerings indicates a conservative financial approach, preserving shareholder value.
However, the decrease in TCE rates and the company's performance compared to the previous year raise concerns about the sustainability of dividends and the effectiveness of the hedging strategy. Investors should monitor industry trends, shipping rates and the company's operational efficiency moving forward.
The shipping industry is closely tied to macroeconomic indicators, such as global GDP growth, trade volumes and commodity prices. The financial results may reflect broader economic headwinds, including potential slowdowns in international trade or shifts in supply and demand for commodities. The company's proactive measures, such as refinancing to increase liquidity and strategic vessel acquisitions, are aimed at navigating these challenges.
The decision to pay dividends and execute share buybacks in a loss-making quarter could be seen as a commitment to shareholder returns, but it also raises questions about the prioritization of capital allocation. The anticipated TCE rate for the first quarter of 2024 could provide insights into the near-term revenue expectations and market conditions.

GLYFADA, Greece, Feb. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Maritime Corporation (“United” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: USEA), announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The Company also declared a quarterly cash dividend of

Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“Our strategic priority for 2023 was to regrow our fleet by reinvesting the proceeds from our first, successful investment cycle, this time focusing on the dry bulk sector. The total investment was
“With regards to our investment strategy, we are pleased with the timing of our transition towards larger sizes of dry bulk vessels, as we are currently witnessing the strongest first quarter for the dry bulk market of the past decade. Looking to further grow and renew our fleet, we recently agreed to enter into an 18-month bareboat charter-in agreement for a 2016-built Japanese Kamsarmax, that will be delivered to our fleet later this year, with a purchase option for the Company at the end of the charter.
“Most importantly, our shareholders’ reward program continued uninterrupted in 2023, through buybacks of common shares and payments of regular cash dividends. The total amount of cash dividends declared in the last 15 months is
“For the first quarter of 2024, we estimate our daily net TCE rate will average approximately
“Looking ahead, our outlook for the dry bulk market remains constructive based on limited new Capesize deliveries and continuing strong dry bulk commodity demand across the board, while disruptions involving low Panama Canal water levels and tensions in the Red Sea have reduced vessel availability, especially in the Panamax segment. The healthy dry bulk market seen so far in the first quarter seems to be sustainable through the rest of the year, making us optimistic about our financial performance in 2024 with a fleet that will consist of three Capesize, three Kamsarmax and three Panamax vessels.”

(1) Ownership days are the total number of calendar days in a period during which the vessels in a fleet have been owned or chartered. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of the Company’s fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that the Company recorded during a period.
(2) Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. Operating days include the days that our vessels are on ballast voyages without having finalized agreements for their next employment.
(3) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that the vessels are generating revenue and is determined by dividing operating days by ownership days for the relevant period.
(4) TCE rate is defined as the Company’s net revenue less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of the Company’s operating days during the period. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel oil and diesel oil) expenses, canal charges and other commissions. The Company includes the TCE rate, a non-GAAP measure, as it believes it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with net revenues from vessels, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and because it assists the Company’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because the Company believes that it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. The Company’s calculation of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the Company’s net revenues from vessels to the TCE rate.

(5) Vessel operating expenses include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricants, insurance, maintenance and repairs. Daily Vessel Operating Expenses are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses, excluding pre-delivery costs of acquired vessels, by ownership days for the relevant time periods. The Company’s calculation of daily vessel operating expenses may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the Company’s vessel operating expenses to daily vessel operating expenses.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) represents the sum of net income, net interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a period. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, which the Company believes is not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented as we believe that these measures are useful to investors as a widely used means of evaluating operating profitability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

| Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, diluted | 8,771,308 | 9,565,410 | 8,359,487 | 7,299,561 | |
To derive Adjusted Net (loss) / Income and Adjusted (loss) / Earnings Per Share, both non-GAAP measures, from Net (loss) / Income, we exclude certain non-cash items, as provided in the table above. We believe that Adjusted Net (loss) / Income and Adjusted (loss) / Earnings Per Share assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period since each such measure eliminates the effects of such non-cash items as stock-based compensation, gain on extinguishment of debt and other items which may vary from year to year, for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In addition, we believe that the presentation of the respective measures provides investors with supplemental data relating to our results of operations, and therefore, with a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than with GAAP measures alone. Our method of computing Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
