ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (“Seanergy” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SHIP), a leading pure-play Capesize shipping company, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, and announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share—marking the 15^th consecutive quarterly dividend under its capital return policy.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company generated Net Revenues of $37.5 million, compared to $43.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $18.3 million, compared to $28.0 million in the same period of 2024. Net Income and Adjusted Net Income for the quarter were $2.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, compared to Net Income of $14.1 million and Adjusted Net Income of $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The Company’s fleet achieved a daily Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) of $19,807 for the second quarter of 2025, which represents a 6% premium over the average BCI of $18,681 for the same period.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company generated Net Revenues of $61.7 million, compared to $81.4 million in the same period of 2024. Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss for the six months were $4.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, compared to Net Income of $24.3 million and Adjusted Net Income of $27.6 million in the respective period of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months was $26.3 million, compared to $51.2 million for the same period of 2024. The daily TCE rate of the fleet for the first six-month period of 2025 was $16,679, compared to $25,365 in the same period of 2024. The average daily OPEX was $6,937 compared to $6,999 of the respective period of 2024.

Cash and cash-equivalents and restricted cash, as of June 30, 2025, stood at $25.4 million. Shareholders’ equity at the end of the second quarter was $257.7 million. Long-term debt (senior loans and other financial liabilities) net of deferred charges stood at $307.7 million, while the book value of the fleet, including a chartered-in vessel, was $539.9 million.

Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:

“Despite a volatile start to 2025, Seanergy returned to profitability in the second quarter, thanks to a stronger Capesize market and our strategic hedging activities. With a fleet of 21 Capesize vessels and a modest loan-to-value ratio of approximately 50%, we are well-positioned to capitalize on favorable market fundamentals. Our board of directors has declared a discretionary dividend of $0.05 per share under our dividend policy, our 15^th consecutive quarterly distribution, reflecting our healthy balance sheet and the positive market direction. We are optimistic about enhancing shareholder rewards in the seasonally stronger second half of the year.

“Turning to our commercial performance for the quarter, our daily time charter equivalent of $19,807 outperformed the Baltic Capesize Index by around 6%. Our strategy enabled us to take advantage of the abrupt upward move in the Capesize market in June, while maintaining downside protection through hedging part of our index-linked exposure. For the third quarter, we have already fixed about 62% of our days at a rate of $22,375, with a projected total fleet TCE of $23,081. For the second half of the year, seven of our 21 vessels will earn an average fixed rate of approximately $22,400, providing clear earnings visibility amidst an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, while our open exposure positions us to benefit from potential upside in what remains a constructive Capesize market.

“Concerning our financing activities, we have completed $110.6 million total financings and refinancings year-to-date, including a $22.5 million sale and leaseback transaction for the M/V Blueship. We now have no further debt maturities in 2025. This, along with our prudent approach on leverage and liquidity, ensures we can generate sustainable cash flows, return value to shareholders, and retain flexibility for future growth.

“The Capesize market showed meaningful improvement in the second quarter of the year, with the Baltic Capesize Index averaging approximately $18,700 per day, up from about $13,000 in the first quarter. This was driven mainly by a 16% rise in combined iron ore exports from Australia and Brazil, following the seasonally weak first quarter. West African Bauxite exports continued their strong momentum, rising approximately 33% year-over-year in the first half of 2025. This growth trend is expected to continue through year-end, supported by the increasing demand of the commodity.

“On the supply side, the Capesize orderbook remains at historically low levels at around 8% of the existing fleet, while approximately 7% of the fleet is 20 years or older. With tightening environmental regulations rendering older tonnage less competitive, we expect net fleet growth to remain modest in the coming years. Taken together with the trend of rising Atlantic Basin mineral exports, market fundamentals point to a favorable balance and continued resilience in Capesize charter rates, even amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.

“Looking forward we believe that our fleet composition, healthy balance sheet and favorable mix of index-linked and fixed-rate charters position Seanergy well in this market environment.”

Fleet Data:

(U.S. Dollars in thousands)

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except operating days and TCE rate)

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except ownership days and Daily Vessel Operating Expenses)

Net income / (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation:

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)

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, loss on forward freight agreements, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, and gain on FX forwards (“Other, net” in statement of operations), which the Company believes are 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. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. 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.

Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) Reconciliation and calculation of Adjusted Earnings Per Share

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data)

To derive Adjusted Earnings / (Loss) Per Share, a non-GAAP financial measure, from Net Income, we adjust for dividends and undistributed earnings to non-vested participating securities and exclude non-cash items, as provided in the table above. We believe that Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings / (Loss) 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 loss on extinguishment of debt, stock based compensation, gain on FX forwards 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 measure 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 / (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings / (Loss) Per Share may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Third Quarter 2025 TCE Rate Guidance:

As of the date hereof, approximately 62% of the Company fleet’s expected operating days in the third quarter of 2025 have been fixed at an estimated TCE rate of approximately $22,375. Assuming that for the remaining operating days of our index-linked time charters, the respective vessels’ TCE rate will be equal to $24,763 (based on the FFA curve as of July 25, 2025), our estimated TCE rate for the third quarter of 2025 will be approximately $23,081³. The following table provides the breakdown of index-linked charters and fixed-rate charters in the third quarter of 2025:

Second Quarter and Recent Developments:

Dividend Distribution for Q1 2025 and Declaration of Q2 2025 Dividend

On July 10, 2025, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share for the first quarter of 2025 to all shareholders of record as of June 27, 2025.

The Company has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share for the second quarter of 2025 payable on or about October 10, 2025, to all shareholders of record as of September 29, 2025.

Commercial Updates

M/V Honorship – New T/C agreement

In June 2025, the M/V Honorship commenced a new T/C employment with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (“NYK”), for a duration of minimum 12 to about 15 months. The gross daily hire is based on the 5 T/C routes of the BCI plus a fixed premium amount, while the Company has the option to convert the daily hire from index-linked to fixed for a minimum period of 2 months to a maximum of 12 months based on the prevailing Capesize FFA curve.

M/V Dukeship – Time-charter trip

In June 2025, the M/V Dukeship commenced a Pacific round voyage, earning a premium over the average of the Baltic C10 Index Route for the duration of the trip.

_______________
_{³ This guidance is based on certain assumptions and the Company cannot provide assurance that these TCE rate estimates, or projected utilization rates will be realized. TCE estimates include certain floating (index) to fixed rate conversions concluded in previous periods. For vessels on index-linked T/Cs, the TCE rate realized will vary with the underlying index, and for the purposes of this guidance, the TCE rate assumed for the remaining operating days of the quarter for an index-linked T/C is equal to $24,763 (based on the FFA curve as of July 25, 2025). Spot estimates are provided using the load-to-discharge method of accounting. The rates quoted are for days currently contracted. Increased ballast days at the end of the quarter will reduce the additional revenues that can be booked based on the accounting cut-offs and therefore the resulting TCE rate will be reduced accordingly.}

Financing Updates

M/V Dukeship - Alpha Bank Facility agreement

The Company has agreed to enter into a supplemental agreement to reduce the annual interest rate from 2.90% to 2.40% per annum and replace SOFR with Term SOFR as the reference rate of the loan; the interest rate reduction has retroactive effect from June 2025. In addition, the Company will have the option to pledge cash in the form of time deposits, up to the aggregate amount of the loan outstanding at that time. For the part of the loan equal to the pledged amount, the margin will be reduced to 0.75% per annum for the term of the pledged time deposit, which as per the agreement shall coincide with an interest period of the facility. The supplemental agreement is subject to completion of definitive documentation.

M/V Blueship – Kowa Kaiun Sale and Leaseback agreement

The Company is in the process of finalizing a $22.5 million sale and leaseback agreement for the M/V Blueship with an affiliate of Kowa Kaiun Co. Ltd. to finance the purchase obligation of the M/V Blueship under her existing bareboat charter. The agreement will become effective upon the delivery of the M/V Blueship to the lessor which is expected around August 25, 2025. The Company will sell and charter back the vessel on a bareboat basis for a five-year period and will have continuous options to repurchase the vessel at any time following the second anniversary of the delivery at predetermined prices as set forth in the agreement. The charterhire principal will amortize in a daily bareboat rate of $8,806 payable monthly in advance, bearing an interest rate of 3-month term SOFR plus 2.40% per annum.
