Second Quarter 2017 Results:

• Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $39.3 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 10.1%, compared to revenues of $35.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, mainly due to increased fleet utilization and a slight increase in market rates.
• Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $4.5 million and $14.4 million respectively, compared to $3.7 million and $15.2 million respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The $0.8 million increase in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to higher bunker costs due to increased oil prices. The 5.3% decrease in vessels’ operating expenses compared to the same period of 2016 was mostly due to improved operating efficiency and a 10.6% decrease in store costs.
• Drydocking costs for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The costs for the second quarter of 2017 corresponds to the drydocking of three vessels, while in the same period of 2016 the Company completed the drydocking of four vessels.
• Depreciation for both the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $9.7 million.
• Included in the second quarter 2017 results were net losses from interest rate derivative instruments of $0.1 million. Interest paid on interest rate derivative instruments amounted to $0.1 million.
• The Company recorded an impairment loss of $3.2 million for three of its oldest vessels, two of which have been classified as held for sale, as of June 30, 2017.
• As a result of the above, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported a net loss of $1.7 million, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The weighted average number of shares for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 39.8 million. Loss per share, basic and diluted, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $0.04.

• Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $8.1 million and $29.3 million, respectively, compared to $7.6 million and $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $0.5 million increase in voyage expenses was mainly due to the higher bunker prices prevailing in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. The $0.5 million decrease in vessels’ operating expenses was mainly driven by improved operating efficiency and a decrease in store costs that led to the decline of daily average operating cost by 1.5% compared to the first six months of 2016.
• Drydocking Costs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, representing the costs of 5 and 7 vessels drydocked in the respective periods.

Board Chairman Michael Jolliffe Commented

The second quarter of 2017 was quite encouraging for StealthGas.  In spite of the low seasonal demand, we managed to achieve close to 95% operational utilization, which is the second best, second quarter’s performance marked since the year 2012. Consequently, our revenues were higher than anticipated. In addition to this, we succeeded in decreasing our operating costs. So both these factors contributed to our profitability which, excluding the impairment charges of the quarter, was quite satisfactory and significantly improved compared to the second quarter of 2016. Going forward, we have secured more than 83% of our fleet days in period charters and our market shows positive signs of improvement such as increase in rates, low orderbook and acceleration of the scrapping activity. In addition we succeeded in pushing back the deliveries of our second and third 22,000 cbm semi-ref eco newbuildings to the first quarter of 2018. Last but not least, we sold two of our oldest ships at a hefty premium over scrap showing increased confidence from buyers even for overage ships. Based on all of the above, we remain confident for the quarters to come.

FLEET DATA	Q2 2016		Q2 2017		6M 2016		6M 2017
Average number of vessels (1)	53.0		53.4		52.9		53.2
Period end number of owned vessels in fleet	54		54		54		54
Total calendar days for fleet (2)	5,009		5,045		10,000		9,995
Total voyage days for fleet (3)	4,890		5,018		9,828		9,911
Fleet utilization (4)	97.6	%	99.5	%	98.3	%	99.2	%
Total charter days for fleet (5)	3,821		4,080		7,647		8,318
Total spot market days for fleet (6)	1,069		938		2,181		1,593
Fleet operational utilization (7)	91.2	%	94.9	%	91.2	%	96.1	%

1) Average number of vessels is the number of owned vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.
2) Total calendar days for fleet are the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
3) Total voyage days for fleet reflect the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period net of off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
4) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.
5) Total charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on time or bareboat charters for the relevant period.
6) Total spot market charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on spot market charters for the relevant period.
7) Fleet operational utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels generated revenue, and is determined by dividing voyage days (excluding commercially idle days) by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:

Adjusted net income/(loss) represents net income/(loss) before loss on derivatives excluding net swap interest paid, share based compensation, impairment loss and gain on sale of vessels. EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs including net swap interest paid, interest income and other income and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share based compensation, loss on derivatives, excluding net swap interest paid, impairment loss and gain on sale of vessels. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in the shipping or other industries.  In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income/(loss), you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EPS are included herein because they are a basis, upon which we assess our financial performance. They allow us to present our performance from period to period on a comparable basis and provide additional information on fleet operational results. We also believe that EBITDA represents useful information for investors regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.
