Euroseas Ltd. Reports Results for the Third Quarter of 2006


Maroussi, Athens, Greece – November 20, 2006 – Euroseas Ltd. (OTCBB: EUSEF.OB, formerly ESEAF.OB), 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 third quarter of 2006 and nine months ended September 30, 2006.


Third Quarter 2006 Results:

For the third quarter 2006, the Company reported total net revenues of $8.9 million and net income of $5.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2006 was $7.5 million. Please see below for Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to net income. In the third quarter 2005, net revenues were $9.8 million, net income was $5.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $7.1 million.  On average, 7.35 vessels were operated during the second quarter of 2006 compared to 7 vessels in the third quarter 2005.


Earnings per share for the third quarter of 2006 were $0.43, calculated on 12,620,114 weighted average number of shares outstanding during this quarter, compared to earnings per share of $0.52 for the third quarter of 2005 calculated on 10,860,080 weighted average number of shares outstanding during that quarter.  The share count for both periods reflects the 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effected on October 6, 2006.


Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Results:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company reported total net revenues of $28.4 million and net income of $15.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $21.5 million (please see below for Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to net income). In the first nine months ended September 30, 2005, net revenues were $32.2 million, net income was $20.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $24.1 million.  On average, 7.91 vessels were operated during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to 7 vessels in the same period of 2005.


Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $1.23, calculated on 12,506,793 weighted average number of shares outstanding during the nine-month period, compared to earnings per share of $1.99 for the same period in 2005 calculated on 10,273,853 weighted average number of shares outstanding during that period. The share count for both periods reflects the 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effected on October 6, 2006.


Results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 included capital gains of $2.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, from the sale of M/V “John P” in July 2006 and the sale during the nine month period of M/V “Pantelis P” and M/V “John P”, two of the Company’s handysize vessels.


Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas commented: “In the first nine months of 2006, we continued delivering on our strategy of growing our company with accretive acquisitions in the dry segments in which we operate. The acquisition of M/V “Tasman Trader” in April 2006 and the acquisition of M/V “Aristides NP” in September 2006 followed our earlier acquisition of M/V “Artemis” in November 2005 and completed the first phase of expansion and renewal of our fleet utilizing the proceeds of our private placement in August 2005. Despite the falling shipping markets during part of the first year of our company’s operation as a public company (12-month period ended September 30, 2006), we have achieved earnings per share of $1.59 per share, we have increased shareholders’ equity by $0.84 per share, paid out dividends of $0.75 per share and further announced a dividend of $0.21 per share to be paid in December 2006. At the same time, we have repaid $17.6 million of bank debt and decreased the average age of our fleet by approximately 2.5 years. We believe that the improving shipping market conditions will filter down to our bottom line in the ensuing quarters thus further enhancing our results.


The acquisition of M/V “YM Xingang I” in November 2006 initiates a new phase of expansion for Euroseas which we are confident will be equally successful. We are excited with the opportunities this market presents us and hope to be able to fully capitalize on them.”


Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of Euroseas commented: “The results of the third quarter of 2006 represent an improvement over the previous two quarters of 2006 consistent with the improvement of the markets over the same period. The average vessel daily time charter equivalent rate of our fleet during the third quarter of 2006 was $14,536 versus $13,738 during the second quarter and $13,072 during the first quarter of the 2006. The corresponding average earnings of our fleet in 2005 were $16,848 for the third quarter, $18,148 for the second quarter and $20,070 for the first quarter.  Our average daily operating expense per vessel during the nine month period of 2006 (excluding General & Administration expenses) was $4,281 versus $4,058 during the same period in 2005.


Looking into 2007 and after the acquisition of M/V “YM Xingang I” about 56% of our total ship capacity days have been fixed under period charters or are protected from market fluctuations, earning approximately an average of $16,750 per day per vessel. We believe that our contract coverage gives us a solid revenue base for 2007 and provides us with sufficient cash flow to maintain our dividend payout.. Our dividend for the third quarter of 2006 was increased to $0.21 per share.  Since our private placement in August 2005, we have declared total dividends of $ 0.96 per share.”



Fleet Developments:


On September 4, 2006, the Company took delivery of M/V “Aristides NP,” a Panamax drybulk carrier vessel of 69,268 dwt built in 1993. On November 15, 2006, the Company took delivery of M/V “YM Xingang I,” a handysize container ship of 1,599 teu built in 1993.


Following the acquisition of the M/V "Aristides NP" and M/V “YM Xingang I,” Euroseas has a fleet of 9 vessels, including 2 Panamax drybulk carriers, 2 Handysize drybulk carriers, 1 intermediate container ship, 1 Handysize container ship, 2 Feeder containerships and a Handysize multipurpose dry cargo vessel. Euroseas’ 4 drybulk carrier vessels have a total cargo capacity of 207,464 deadweight tons (dwt), its 4 containerships have a cargo capacity of 6,235 teu and its 1 multipurpose vessel has a cargo capacity of 22,568 dwt or 950 teu.


Quarterly Dividend Declaration:

On November 14, 2006, the Company announced the declaration of its fifth consecutive dividend of $0.21 per common share payable on December 15, 2006 to all shareholders of record as of December 8, 2006.  This follows the Company’s dividend announcements of $0.18 per common share on August 15, 2006, of $0.18 per common share on May 12, 2006, of $0.18 per share on February 8, 2006 and of $0.21 per share on November 3, 2005.

Euroseas employs its vessels in the spot and time charter market and through pool arrangements. Presently, our four containerships and our multipurpose vessel are employed under time charters.. Three of our drybulk vessels are under spot charters, while our panamax vessel, M/V “Irini”, is employed in the Baumarine pool that is managed by Klaveness, a major global charterer in the drybulk area, and also participates in three “short” funds (contracts to carry cargo at agreed rates), minimizing its exposure to the spot market (covered at 102% in 2006, 77% for 2007 and 42% for 2008, approximately).


As of today, approximately 56% of our capacity days in 2007 and 41% of our 2008 days are fixed under time charter contracts or protected from market fluctuations.

(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. 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) 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 off-hire days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels were available to generate revenues.


(4) 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 off-hire days associated with scheduled and unscheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days waiting to find employment or other offhire. The shipping industry uses voyage days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.


(5) 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. The shipping industry uses 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.


(6) 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 consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing revenue generated from voyage charters net of voyage expenses by available 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 voyage charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods.


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


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


(9) 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 and general and administrative expenses. Daily TVOE is calculated by dividing TVOE by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation:

Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and gains (or losses) from sale of vessels. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and our 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 we assess our liquidity position and because we believe 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.

About Euroseas Ltd.

Euroseas Ltd. was formed on May 5, 2005 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to consolidate the ship owning interests of the Pittas family of Athens, Greece, which has been in the shipping business over the past 135 years. Euroseas trades on the OTCBB under the ticker EUSEF.OB; until October 5, 2006 it traded under the previous ticker symbol, ESEAF.OB.


Euroseas operates in the dry cargo, drybulk and container shipping markets. Euroseas’ operations are managed by Eurobulk Ltd., an ISO 9001:2000 certified affiliated ship management company, which is responsible for the day-to-day commercial and technical management and operations of the vessels.
