Recent developments

  In November 2020, the Company completed the sale of M/V EM Athens for a total of approximately $4.9 million of net proceeds of which $3.75 million was used to repay the outstanding loan of the vessel. Also, in November 2020, the Company made a supplementary payment of $125,000 in common shares for each of the four vessels it acquired in November 2019 pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement. The payment was contingent to certain market indices exceeding an agreed upon level, and as a result, the Company issued a total of approximately 161,000 common shares.

Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas commented:
“Over the second and third quarters of this year we disposed four of our vessels, including the three eldest ones in our fleet, while in November we also sold the M/V EM Athens, a vessel that would have faced a significant drydocking expense later this year. After the above sales, our fleet numbers 14 vessels with an average age of 15.5 years. In parallel, since July, the feeder and intermediate containership markets have been getting stronger every week reaching –and for several size vessels exceeding – the highs observed over the last decade. If the present levels of rates are sustained, we expect that our vessels will generate significant cash flow and earnings, especially, when the present legacy charters are replaced with ones reflecting the levels of the market.

We are cautiously optimistic about the charter rate developments over the next year as we believe the potential return to normality after the pandemic could restore containerized trade to pre-pandemic -or, likely, higher- growth rates. Such a development when combined with the very low expected fleet growth, as the orderbook is at its lowest level of, at least, the last two decades, could support the current level of charter rates and even propel them to higher levels. We believe our current fleet is well positioned in terms of type and size of vessels to take full advantage of such developments.”

Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of Euroseas commented:
“The results of the third quarter of 2020 reflect the increased net revenues compared to the same period of 2019 as we operated an average of 16.52 vessels, versus 13.5 vessels during the same period last year, partly offset by the slightly lower time charter rates our vessels earned in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the corresponding period of 2019. At the same time, total daily vessel operating expenses, including management fees, general and administrative expenses but excluding drydocking costs, during the third quarter of 2020, averaged $6,759 per vessel per day, as compared to $6,388 for the same period of last year and $6,234 per vessel per day for the first nine months of 2020 as compared to $6,348 per vessel per day for the same period of 2019. The increased operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 is mainly due to increased crewing costs for our vessels compared to the same period of 2019, resulting from difficulties in crew rotation due to COVID-19 related restrictions. In that respect, we are pleased to report that we have been able to rotate the crews on all of our vessels; the safety and well-being of our crew and the safety of our vessel operations are our first priority.

Adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter of 2020 was $1.2 million versus $1.6 million in the third quarter of last year, and it reached $9.7 million versus $4.1 million for the respective nine-month periods of 2020 and 2019.

As of September 30, 2020, our outstanding debt (excluding the unamortized loan fees) was $75.5 million versus restricted and unrestricted cash of $4.8 million. As of the same date, our scheduled debt repayments over the next 12 months amounted to about $14.7 million excluding the unamortized loan fees).”

Third Quarter 2020 Results:
For the third quarter of 2020, the Company reported total net revenues of $12.3 million representing a 19.7% increase over total net revenues of $10.3 million during the third quarter of 2019 which was the result of the increased average number of vessels operating in the third quarter of 2020, partly offset by the lower time charter rates our vessels earned in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the corresponding period of 2019. The Company reported net income for the period of $0.2 million and net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.03 million, as compared to a net loss of $0.2 million and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.3 million respectively, for the third quarter of 2019. The results for the third quarter of 2020 include a $0.3 million amortization of below market time charters acquired and a $1.3 million of net gain on sale of vessels. Related party management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $1.4 million compared to $0.9 million for the same period of 2019. The increase is due to the higher average number of vessels operated by the Company in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. Depreciation expense for the third quarter of 2020 was $1.6 million as compared to $1.1 million for the same period of 2019 due to the increased number of vessels operated by the Company.

Vessel operating expenses for the same period of 2020 amounted to $8.2 million as compared to $6.3 million for the same period of 2019. The increased amount is mainly due to the higher number of vessels owned and operated in the three months of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019. Additionally, some of our vessels incurred increased crewing costs in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, resulting from difficulties in crew rotation due to COVID-19 related restrictions.

On average, 16.52 vessels were owned and operated during the third quarter of 2020 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $8,403 per day compared to 13.5 vessels in the same period of 2019 earning on average $8,554 per day. 

Interest and other financing costs for the third quarter of 2020 amounted to $0.9 million compared to $0.8 million for the same period of 2019. This increase is due to the increased amount of debt in the current period compared to the same period of 2019, partly offset by the decreased Libor rates of our bank loans during the period as compared to the same period of last year.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter of 2020 was $1.2 million compared to $1.6 million achieved during the third quarter of 2019.

Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2020 was $0.01 calculated on 5,708,610 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.10 for the third quarter of 2019, calculated on 3,283,551 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding. 

Excluding the effect on the loss attributable to common shareholders for the quarter of the amortization of below market time charters acquired, the net gain on sale of vessels and the unrealized loss on derivative, the adjusted loss attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 would have been $0.26 per share basic and diluted compared to an adjusted loss of $0.15 per share basic and diluted for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Usually, security analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of earnings per share.

Nine Months 2020 Results:
For the first nine months of 2020, the Company reported total net revenues of $41.3 million representing a 54.5% increase over total net revenues of $26.7 million during the first nine months of 2019, as a result of the increased average number of vessels combined with the higher time charter rates our vessels earned in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the corresponding period of 2019. The Company reported net income for the period of $3.5 million and net income attributable to common shareholders of $2.9 million, as compared to a net loss of $0.9 million and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.5 million, respectively, for the first nine months of 2019. The results for the first nine months of 2020 include a $1.3 million net gain on sale of vessels, $1.5 million of amortization of below market time charters acquired, a $0.1 loss on write down of vessel held for sale and $0.6 million of unrealized loss on derivative. The results for the first nine months of 2019 include $0.2 million of amortization of below market time charters acquired and $0.04 million of unrealized gain on derivative. Related party management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $4.0 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period of 2019. The increase is due to the higher average number of vessels operated by the Company in the first nine months of 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. Depreciation expense for the first nine months of 2020 was $5.0 million compared to $2.7 million during the same period of 2019.

Vessel operating expenses for the same period of 2020 amounted to $24.7 million as compared to $16.1 million for the same period of 2019. The increased amount is mainly due to the higher number of vessels owned and operated in the nine months of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019.

Drydocking expenses amounted to $0.4 million for the nine months of 2020 (one vessel passed its intermediate survey in-water and two vessels their special survey in-water), compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2019 where one of our vessels completed her special survey with drydock, another one completed her intermediate survey in-water and one vessel entered into drydock that was completed in the fourth quarter of 2019.

On average, 18.17 vessels were owned and operated during the first nine months of 2020 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $9,171 per day compared to 11.83 vessels in the same period of 2019 earning on average $8,638 per day. 

Interest and other financing costs for the first nine months of 2020 amounted to $3.3 million compared to $2.3 million for the same period of 2019. This increase is due to the increased amount of debt in the current period compared to the same period of 2019, partly offset by the decreased Libor rates of our bank loans during the period as compared to the same period of last year. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first nine months of 2020 was $9.7 million compared to $4.1 million during the first nine months of 2019. 

Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2020 were $0.52, calculated on 5,621,159 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $1.19 for the first nine months of 2019, calculated on 2,129,233 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding. 

Excluding the effect on the income attributable to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2020 of the unrealized loss on derivative, the net gain on sale of vessels, the loss on write down of vessel held for sale and the amortization of the below market time charters acquired, the adjusted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 would have been $0.15, compared to an adjusted loss of $1.30 per share basic and diluted for the same period in 2019. As mentioned above, usually, security analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of earnings per share.

(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted the Company’s fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of calendar days each vessel was a part of the Company’s 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, vessels committed for sale or vessels that suffered unrepaired damages, are days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up, or of vessels that were committed for sale or suffered unrepaired damages.

(4) Available days. We define available days as the Calendar days in a period net of scheduled off-hire days as defined above. We use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels were available to generate revenues.

(5) Commercial off-hire days. We define commercial off-hire days as days a vessel is idle without 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 or are sailing for repositioning purposes.

(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 days net of operational off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.

(11) Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE rate, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of our vessels. Our method of calculating TCE is determined by dividing time charter revenue and voyage charter revenue 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, or are related to repositioning the vessel for the next charter. 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. Our definition of TCE may not be comparable to that used by other companies in the shipping industry.

(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 expenses 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, management fees and general and administrative expenses; drydocking expenses are not included. Daily TVOE is calculated by dividing TVOE by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.

(15) Drydocking expenses 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. The Company expenses drydocking expenses as incurred.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation:
Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net income / (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, loss on interest rate swap, net gain on sale of vessels, loss on write down of vessel held for sale and amortization of below market time charters acquired. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income / (loss), as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its financial performance because the Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, financial costs, net gain on sale of vessels, loss on write down of vessel held for sale, amortization of below market time charters acquired and loss on interest rate swap, and depreciation. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.

Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted net (loss) / income to represent net (loss) / income before unrealized loss / (gain) on derivative, net gain on sale of vessels, loss on write down of vessel held for sale and amortization of below market time charters acquired. Adjusted net (loss) / income and Adjusted (loss) / earnings 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 unrealized loss / (gain) on derivative, net gain on sale of vessels, loss on write down of vessel held for sale and amortization of below market time charters acquired, which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods.

Adjusted net (loss) / income and Adjusted (loss) / earnings per share do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) / income or (loss) / earnings per share, as determined by GAAP. The Company's definition of Adjusted net (loss) / income and Adjusted (loss) / earnings per share may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.
