Exhibit 99.1
 
OceanFreight Inc. Reports Financial Results
for the Second Quarter of 2011


August 23 , 2011 , Athens, Greece. OceanFreight Inc. (NASDAQ: OCNF), a global provider of marine transportation services, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.


Financial Highlights

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 the Company reported a Net Loss of $1 million or $0.16 basic and diluted loss per share. Included in these results is a loss of $2.0 million associated with the sale of M/T Olinda.

Excluding this item, Net Income for the second quarter of 2011 would amount to $1 million or $0.16 cents basic and diluted earnings per share.

Recent Developments

On July 20, 2011, we received notice from the Nasdaq Stock market that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and the noncompliance matter is now closed.

On July 26, 2011, we entered into a definitive agreement for DryShips Inc. to acquire the outstanding shares of the Company for a consideration per share of $19.85, consisting of $11.25 in cash and 0.52326 of a share of common stock of Ocean Rig UDW Inc. or $8.6 based on the last traded price as of July 25, 2011 of $16.44. Ocean Rig UDW Inc. is a global provider of offshore ultra deepwater drilling services that is 78% owned by DryShips. Under the terms of the transaction, the Ocean Rig shares are to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market upon the closing of the merger.

Prof. John Liveris, the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, commented:

"The highlight of the most recent developments is OceanFreight's merger with DryShips. This merger enables our shareholders to realize the value created from the significant repositioning of the company's fleet and employment profile. This value unfortunately was not reflected in our stock price. Additionally, we are pleased to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in Ocean Rig, a growing company in the ultra deep water drilling sector. We believe that OceanFreight's four-year journey in the public markets has reached a worthy homeport."

Second Quarter 2011 Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, Voyage Revenues amounted to $15.0 million and Operating Income amounted to $0.7 million. Net Loss amounted to $1 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA (*) for the second  quarter of 2011 was $7.7 million.

An average of 6.6 vessels were owned and operated during the second quarter of 2011, earning an average Time Charter Equivalent, or TCE rate, of $24,352 per day.

(*) Please see later in this release for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities.

(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 days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.
(2) Total voyage days for fleet are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period net of off-hire.
(3) Calendar days are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period including off-hire days.
(4) Time charter equivalent rate, 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 consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing gross revenues (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, as well as commissions. 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 charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods.
(5) 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.


The following table reflects the calculation of our TCE daily rates for the periods then ended:

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

OceanFreight Inc. considers EBITDA to represent net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes loss on sale of vessels and impairment on vessels. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. GAAP and our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is included in this earnings release because it is a basis upon which we assess our liquidity position, because it is used by our lenders as a measure of our compliance with certain loan covenants and because we believe that it presents useful information to investors regarding our ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.

The following table reconciles Net cash provided by operating activities to EBITDA as adjusted for the effect of the loss from the sale of vessels and impairment loss:

Forward-Looking Statement

Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.

The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although OceanFreight Inc. believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, OceanFreight Inc. cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.


 
 

 

Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in OceanFreight Inc.'s operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.

Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by OceanFreight Inc. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
