Euroseas Ltd. Reports Results for the Six-Month Period and Quarter Ended June 30, 2014



Maroussi, Athens, Greece – August 7, 2014 – Euroseas Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESEA), an owner and operator of drybulk and container carrier vessels and provider of seaborne transportation for drybulk and containerized cargoes, announced today its results for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014 as well as certain fleet updates.

·

Net loss of $5.0 million; net loss available to common shareholders of $5.4 million or $0.09 loss per share basic and diluted. Total net revenues of $9.6 million. Adjusted net loss available to common shareholders1 for the period remained the same at $0.09 per share basic and diluted.


·

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $(1.6) million.


·

An average of 14.4 vessels were owned and operated during the second quarter of 2014 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $7,373 per day.


·

The Company declared its second dividend of $0.4 million on its Series B Preferred shares; the dividend was paid in-kind by issuing additional Series B Preferred Shares.


1 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net loss, Adjusted net loss available to common shareholders and Adjusted loss per share available to common shareholders are not recognized measurements under GAAP. Refer to a subsequent section of the Press Release for the definitions and reconciliation of these measurements to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.



First Half 2014 Highlights:


·

Net loss of $7.2 million; net loss available to common shareholders of $7.9 million or $0.15 loss per share basic and diluted. Total net revenues of $19.1 million.  Adjusted net loss per share available to common shareholders1 for the period was $0.15.


·

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $(0.6) million.


·

An average of 14.2 vessels were owned and operated during the first half of 2014 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $7,585 per day.



Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas commented: “During the first half and during the month of July of 2014, the drybulk market weakened significantly against expectations widely held in the industry while the containership market remained static at low levels. Despite these developments, we continue to believe that both markets will show a gradual improvement over the rest of 2014 and during 2015. Our fleet continues to have a high exposure to the spot market and our chartering strategy remains to pursue short term charters of 3-12 months when possible. We are thus well positioned to take advantage of an improving market.”


Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of Euroseas commented: “The results of the second quarter of 2014 reflect the depressed level of the containership and drybulk markets compared to the same quarter of 2013, despite the better commercial utilization rate of the vessels.


“Total daily vessel operating expenses, including management fees, general and administrative expenses but excluding drydocking costs, averaged $6,449 per vessel per day during the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $6,115 per vessel per day for the same quarter of last year, and $6,398 per vessel per day for the first half of 2014 as compared to $6,192 per vessel per day for the same period of 2013, reflecting a 5.5% and 3.3% increase, respectively. As always, we want to emphasize that cost control remains a key component of our strategy.


“On the financing front, we were able to secure financing for our recent acquisition of M/V Eirini P as well as refinance the balloon payment of loan of M/V Eleni P. As of June 30, 2014, our outstanding debt was $59.4 million versus restricted and unrestricted cash of about $46.4 million. As of the same date, our scheduled debt repayments over the next 12 months amounted to about $14.6 million, inclusive of about $4.9 million of balloon repayments which may be refinanced. All our debt covenants are satisfied.”


Second Quarter 2014 Results:

For the second quarter of 2014, the Company reported total net revenues of $9.6 million representing a 0.7% increase over total net revenues of $9.6 million during the second quarter of 2013.

(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of calendar days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.


(2) Calendar days. We define calendar days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during that period.


(3) The scheduled off-hire days including vessels laid-up are days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up. We use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels were available to generate revenues.


(4) Available days. We define available days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession net of scheduled off-hire days including days of vessels laid-up.


(5) Commercial off-hire days. We define commercial off-hire days as days waiting to find employment.   


(6) Operational off-hire days. We define operational off-hire days as days associated with unscheduled repairs or other off-hire time related to the operation of the vessels,


(7) Voyage days. We define voyage days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession net of commercial and operational off-hire days. We use voyage days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.


(8) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our voyage days during a period by the number of our available days during that period. We use fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons such as unscheduled repairs or days waiting to find employment.


(9) Fleet utilization, commercial. We calculate commercial fleet utilization by dividing our available days net of commercial off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.


(10) Fleet utilization, operational. We calculate operational fleet utilization by dividing our available net of operational off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.


(11) Time charter equivalent, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of calculating TCE is determined by dividing revenue generated from voyage charters net of voyage expenses by voyage days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of 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. TCE is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyage charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods.


(12) Daily vessel operating expenses, which includes crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs and management fees are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. Drydocking expenses are reported separately.


(13) Daily general and administrative expense is calculated by dividing general and administrative expense by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.


(14) Total vessel operating expenses, or TVOE, is a measure of our total expenses associated with operating our vessels. TVOE is the sum of vessel operating expenses excluding drydocking expenses and general and administrative expenses. Daily TVOE is calculated by dividing TVOE by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.


(15) Drydocking expenses, which include expenses during drydockings that would have been capitalized and amortized under the deferral method divided by the fleet calendar days for the relevant period. Drydocking expenses could vary substantially from period to period depending on how many vessels underwent drydocking during the period.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation: 
Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net earnings / (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, gain / loss in derivatives and loss on sale of vessel. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income /(loss) or cash flow from operations, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and the Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its financial performance and liquidity position and because the Company believes that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per share Reconciliation:

Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted Net Loss to represent net loss before gain / loss in derivatives and loss on sale of vessel. Adjusted Net loss and Adjusted Net loss per share is included herein because we believe it assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of the Company’s fundamental performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods  of gain / loss on derivatives and loss on sale of vessel, which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods.


 Adjusted Net loss and Adjusted Net loss per share do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or loss per share, as determined by U.S. GAAP, The Company’s definition of Adjusted Net loss and Adjusted Net loss per share may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries
