Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (“Seanergy” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: SHIP), a leading pure-play Capesize shipping company,
announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve
months ended December 31, 2024. Reflecting its strong commitment to
shareholder returns, the Company also declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.10 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2024,
with total cash dividends for 2024 of $0.76 per share.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the
Company generated Net Revenues of $41.7 million, compared to $39.4
million in the fourth quarter of 2023, representing an increase of
6%. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $20.4 million, compared to
$23.9 million in the same period of 2023. Net Income and Adjusted
Net Income for the quarter were $6.6 million and $7.1 million,
respectively, compared to Net Income of $10.8 million and Adjusted
Net Income of $11.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The
daily TCE rate of the fleet for the fourth quarter of 2024 was

For the twelve-month period ended December 31,
2024, the Company generated Net Revenues of $167.5 million,
compared to $110.2 million in the same period of 2023, marking an

same period of 2023. The average daily OPEX was $6,976 compared to
$6,879 in the respective period of 2023.

equity at the end of the fourth quarter was $262.2 million.
Long-term debt (senior loans and other financial liabilities) net
of deferred charges stood at $257.6 million, while the book value
of the fleet, including an advance for a vessel acquisition, was
$488.2 million.
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“We are pleased to announce another strong
quarter for Seanergy, underscoring the benefits of our strategic
focus on the Capesize segment. Our robust hedging strategy resulted
in the Company significantly outperforming the broader Capesize
market, even amid seasonal year-end softness. Our fleet-wide daily
TCE of $23,179, exceeded the BCI average of $18,300 by 27%,
resulting in net income of $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of
2024. This strong finish capped off a record-breaking year, during
which we achieved net income of $43.5 million, with a full-year
daily TCE of $25,063, which is 11% above the BCI average of
$22,593.
“Our disciplined commercial strategy and
efficient operations allowed us to generate substantially superior
results compared to industry peers, validating our exclusive focus
on Capesize vessels. Unlike smaller dry bulk segments—where
orderbooks have increased substantially—the Capesize orderbook
remains at historically low levels, positioning this segment for
potential outperformance over the long term.
“Our estimate for Q1 2025 TCE is approximately
$13,400 per day, which reflects seasonal Capesize market softness
but remains 44% above the year-to-date BCI average of approximately
$9,300 per day. Meanwhile, our fixed-rate charters at $22,100 per
day continue to significantly outperform spot levels, and with
rising forward freight agreements (“FFAs”), we anticipate a
stronger market in the second half of 2025.
“In line with our stated growth strategy, we
executed targeted fleet expansion while maintaining a healthy
balance sheet and rewarding shareholders with strong capital
returns. We declared total dividends of $0.76 per share for 2024,
representing a robust annualized dividend yield of approximately
11%3. In addition, during the fourth quarter, we repurchased
226,826 shares at an average price of $9.44 per share, further
enhancing shareholder value.
“Since the second quarter of 2024, we have
committed to invest $138.0 million in four high-quality Capesize
vessels, bringing our proforma fleet to 21 units, or 3.8 million
dwt. This strategic expansion further strengthens our profitability
and cash flow generation potential, allowing us to continue
capitalizing on the strength of the Capesize market. Importantly,
we closed the year with a loan-to-value ratio of approximately 45%,
underscoring our financial sustainability and prudent capital
management in a volatile macro environment.
“The Capesize market continued to outperform
smaller dry bulk segments in 2024, driven by a favorable
supply-demand balance. Fleet growth was limited to just 1.7%, while
seaborne iron ore, bauxite, and coal shipments increased
substantially. Brazilian iron ore exports surged annually by
approximately 6%, and Guinea’s bauxite exports grew by over 15%,
reinforcing the trend of increasing ton-miles, which directly
benefits Capesize companies like ours.
“Looking ahead to 2025, Capesize fleet growth is
projected to slow further to 1.4%, setting the stage for an even
tighter supply-demand balance. While the start of the year saw
seasonal weakness, spot rates and FFAs have risen sharply in recent
weeks, pointing to a strengthening market in the months ahead.
Vessel values have remained firm, which is a sign of industry
confidence in the Capesize sector’s long-term fundamentals.
“We believe that the long-term outlook for
Capesize demand is robust, driven by rising Atlantic Basin iron ore
and bauxite exports, a historically low orderbook, and tightening
environmental regulations that are expected to restrict Capesize
supply further. A key catalyst is the long-anticipated Simandou
iron ore project in Guinea, which is set to commence exports in
2025 and is expected to significantly boost ton-mile demand
further. At the same time, global energy needs continue to surge,
particularly in emerging economies, as technology-driven industries
such as AI, data centers, and semiconductor manufacturing require
significant base-load power. Despite the energy transition, coal
remains essential to the global power mix, supporting sustained
Capesize demand as Asia ramps up imports.
“As a pure-play Capesize company, Seanergy
remains uniquely positioned to capitalize on these long-term market
tailwinds and to deliver consistent, superior returns to
shareholders.”

(1) Ownership days are the
total number of calendar days in a period during which the vessels
in a fleet have been owned or chartered in. Ownership days are an
indicator of the size of the Company’s fleet over a period and
affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that
the Company recorded during a period.
(2) Operating days are the
number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of
days that the vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances.
Available days are the number of ownership days less the aggregate
number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to major repairs,
dry-dockings, lay-up or special or intermediate surveys. Operating
days include the days that our vessels are in ballast voyages
without having finalized agreements for their next employment. The
Company’s calculation of operating days may not be comparable to
that reported by other companies.
(3) Fleet utilization is the
percentage of time that the vessels are generating revenue and is
determined by dividing operating days by ownership days for the
relevant period. Fleet Utilization is used to measure a company’s
ability to efficiently find suitable employment for its vessels and
minimize the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for
unforeseen events. We believe it provides additional meaningful
information and assists management in making decisions regarding
areas where we may be able to improve efficiency and increase
revenue and because we believe that it provides useful information
to investors regarding the efficiency of our operations.
(4) TCE rate is defined as the
Company’s net revenue less voyage expenses during a period divided
by the number of the Company’s operating days during the period.
Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel oil and diesel
oil) expenses, canal charges and other commissions. The Company
includes the TCE rate, which is not a recognized measure under U.S.
GAAP, as it believes it provides additional meaningful information
in conjunction with net revenues from vessels, the most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and because it assists the Company’s
management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of
our vessels and because the Company believes that it provides
useful information to investors regarding our financial
performance. The Company’s calculation of TCE rate may not be
comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table
reconciles the Company’s net revenues from vessels to the TCE
rate.

(5) Vessel operating expenses
include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricants,
insurance, maintenance and repairs. Daily Vessel Operating Expenses
are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses, excluding pre
delivery costs, by ownership days for the relevant time periods.
The Company’s calculation of daily vessel operating expenses may
not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The

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 the
non-recurring gain on sale of vessels, net, 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.

To derive Adjusted Earnings 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 and Adjusted Earnings
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 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 and Adjusted Earnings Per Share may not
necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled captions of
other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
First Quarter 2025 TCE Rate Guidance:
As of the date hereof, approximately 85% of the
Company fleet’s expected operating days in the first quarter of
2025 have been fixed at an estimated TCE rate of approximately
$12,471. Assuming that for the remaining operating days of our
index-linked time charters, the respective vessels’ TCE rate will
be equal to the average FFA rate of $18,733 per day (based on the
FFA curve as of March 3, 2025), our estimated TCE rate for the
first quarter of 2025 will be approximately $13,3634. The following
table provides the breakdown of index-linked charters and
fixed-rate charters in the first quarter of 2025:
|
Operating Days |
TCE |
TCE - fixed rate (incl. FFA conversions) |

$21,623 |

Total / Average |
1,766 |
$13,363 |
_______________________________4 This guidance
is based on certain assumptions and there can be no assurance that
these TCE rate estimates, or projected utilization 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 the average FFA rate of $18,733 based
on the curve of March 3, 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.
Fourth Quarter and Recent Developments:
Dividend Distribution for Q3 2024 and
Declaration of Q4 2024 Dividend
On January 10, 2025, the Company paid a
quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share for the third quarter of 2024
to all shareholders of record as of December 27, 2024.
Pursuant to its dividend policy, the Company has
declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share for
the fourth quarter of 2024 payable on or about April 10, 2025, to
all shareholders of record as of March 27, 2025.
Buyback of Common Shares
Since our last update in the Company’s earnings
release for the third quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased
115,000 common shares in open market transactions at an average
price of $8.52 per share for an aggregate consideration of $1.0
million pursuant to the $25.0 million share repurchase program
commenced in December 2023. Since the beginning of the share
buyback program, the Company has repurchased 532,411 common shares,
at an average price of $9.29 per share for a total amount of $4.9
million. All the abovementioned shares were cancelled and removed
from our share capital as of the date of this release. As of March
3, 2025, the Company had 20,374,165 common shares issued and
outstanding.
Open Market purchases of stock options
and common shares by Seanergy’s CEO
The Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive
Officer, Mr. Stamatis Tsantanis, currently holds 100 call option
contracts, allowing the purchase of up to 10,000 common shares of

Vessel Transactions and Commercial
Updates
M/V Blueship – Bareboat Agreement and
New T/C agreement
In January 2025, the Company entered into a
six-month bareboat charter agreement with an unaffiliated third
party for a 2011-built Capesize dry bulk vessel of 178,459 dwt
built at Mitsui SB. The vessel was renamed M/V Blueship and
delivered to Seanergy on February 25, 2025. The bareboat charter
agreement required a downpayment of $8.0 million and includes a
daily charter rate of $9,750 over the period of the bareboat
charter and a purchase obligation of $22.5 million at the end of
the bareboat charter.
M/V Meiship – Delivery and New T/C
agreement

of a 207,851 dwt Newcastlemax bulk carrier, built in 2013 at
Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., Saijo Shipyard, which was renamed
M/V Meiship. Meanwhile, the M/V Meiship commenced its T/C
employment with Costamare Bulkers Inc. (“Costamare”), for a
duration of about 12 to 15 months. The gross daily rate of the time
charter agreement is based on a fixed rate and includes a
profit-sharing scheme based on the BCI. The acquisition of the
vessel has been financed with cash on hand and proceeds from the
Piraeus Bank Facility agreement mentioned below.
M/V Partnership – New T/C
agreement
In November 2024, the M/V Partnership commenced
a new T/C agreement with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (“NYK”) for
a period of minimum 15 months to maximum 18 months. The daily hire
is based on the 5 T/C routes of the BCI, 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. The Company will also receive the
majority of the benefit from the scrubber profit-sharing scheme
based on the price difference between high-sulfur and low-sulfur
fuel.

extension
In December 2024, the charterer of the M/V
Patriotship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct
continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period will

remain materially the same.

materially the same.

same.

same.
M/V Hellasship – Time charter
extension
In January 2025, the charterer of the M/V
Hellasship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct
continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period
commenced on January 8, 2025, for a duration of minimum 15 months
to maximum 18 months. The daily hire is based at a revised premium
over the BCI, while all other main terms of the time charter remain
materially the same.
Financing Updates
M/Vs Worldship, Honorship & Meiship
- Piraeus Bank Facility agreement
In February 2025, the Company entered into a
$53.6 million sustainability-linked senior credit facility to
partially finance the acquisition of the M/V Meiship and to
refinance the existing $24.0 million indebtedness of the M/Vs
Worldship and Honorship with the same lender, at improved terms.
The facility has a term of five years, while the interest rate is
2.05% plus term SOFR per annum, 55 bps lower than the rate of the
refinanced agreement, and can be further reduced based on certain
emission reduction thresholds. The facility amortizes through 20
quarterly instalments of approximately $1.5 million and a $24.6
million balloon payment at maturity.
