Euroseas Ltd. Reports Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2011
Maroussi, Athens, Greece – May 19, 2011 – Euroseas Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESEA), 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 three month period ended March 31, 2011.
First Quarter 2011 Highlights:
·
Net loss of $0.6 million or $0.02 loss per share basic and diluted on total net revenues of $14.2 million. Excluding the effect of unrealized gain and realized losses on derivatives, unrealized loss on trading securities and amortization of the fair value of charters acquired, the loss for the period would have been $1.3 million, or $0.04 loss per share.
·
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.7 million. Please refer to a subsequent section of the Press Release for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss.
·
An average of 16 vessels were owned and operated during the first quarter of 2011 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $11,088 per day.
·
Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share for the first quarter of 2011 payable on June 10, 2011 to shareholders of record on June 1, 2011. This is the twenty-third consecutive quarterly dividend declared.
Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas commented: “During the first quarter of 2011, we continued executing our strategy of positioning Euroseas to benefit from the market trends.
"Our cautious approach towards the drybulk markets that led to fully cover our drybulk fleet with charters that run well into 2012 appears to have been justified from the market weakness during the first quarter. On the other hand, our containership fleet has started and is expected to continue benefitting from the increasing containership charter rates as the charters of four of our eleven vessels have been already renewed at levels on average about 69% higher than their previous charters and eight more renewals, including two of the previous four vessels, are expected to be renewed during the rest of 2011. As we believe that the containership market will continue strengthening into 2012, our renewal strategy is to pursue charters with average duration of not more than a year. Our Euromar joint venture also contributed to our results with the charters of two of its six containerships renewed at higher levels.
“In parallel to our employment strategy, we continue focusing on identifying accretive vessel investment opportunities. We believe that stronger rates in the containership sector in the near term support higher values for the vessels without reducing investment returns. As we mentioned before, we expect a volatile environment in the drybulk sector as healthy trade demand will be challenged to absorb the expected vessel deliveries. This, in turn, might present us with attractive opportunities for investment.
“In view of the above developments and employment prospects, our Board decided to increase our quarterly dividend to $0.07 per share which represents a yield of about 6.1% on the basis of our stock price on May 18, 2011.”
Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of Euroseas commented: “The results of the first quarter of 2011 reflect the lower level of the charter markets compared to the same quarter of last year and the higher number of vessels we operated. Also, our results were positively influenced by gains on our interest rate and FFA derivative contracts.
Total daily vessel operating expenses, including management fees and general and administration expenses, during the first quarter of 2011 reflect a increase of about 12.1% on a per vessel per day basis compared to the first quarter of 2010. This increase mainly reflects that two of our vessels that were laid-up during the first quarter of 2010 were operating during the first quarter of 2011, thus, incurring higher daily costs; also, the weakness of the US dollar compared to the same period of last year increased certain of our expenses. We believe that we continue to maintain one of the lowest operating cost structures amongst the public shipping companies which is one of our competitive advantages.
As of March 31, 2011, our outstanding debt was about $85.6 million versus restricted and unrestricted cash of about $40 million. We were comfortably in compliance with all our loan covenants.”
First Quarter 2011 Results:
For the first quarter of 2011, the Company reported total net revenues of $14.2 million representing a 3.2% increase over total net revenues of $13.8 million during the first quarter of 2010. The Company reported losses for the period of $0.6 million as compared to net loss of $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2010. The results for the first quarter of 2011 include a $0.5 million net unrealized gain on derivatives and trading securities as compared to $0.7 million net unrealized gain on derivatives and trading securities for the same period of 2010; and, a $0.2 million realized loss on derivatives versus a $4.7 million realized loss in the same period of 2010. Drydocking expenses of $1.5 million during the quarter were higher than the $1.0 million incurred in the first quarter of 2010. Depreciation expense for the first quarter of 2011 was $4.6 million compared to $4.4 million during the same period of 2010. On average, 16 vessels were owned and operated during the first quarter of 2011 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $11,088 per day compared to 15 vessels in the same period of 2010 earning on average $12,404 per day.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 was $3.7 million, a 25.4% decrease from $5.0 million achieved during the first quarter of 2010. Please see below for Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to net loss and cash flow provided by operating activities.
Basic and diluted loss per share for the first quarter of 2011 was $0.02, calculated on 31,002,211 weighted average number of shares outstanding compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.10 for the first quarter of 2010, calculated on 30,849,711 weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Excluding the effect on the earnings for the quarter of the unrealized gain and realized losses on derivatives, unrealized loss on trading securities and amortization of the fair value of time charter contracts acquired, the loss per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 would have been $0.04 per share basic and diluted, compared to the earnings, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 of $0.01 per share basic and diluted. Usually, security analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of earnings per share.

(**) The Company has concluded a Forward Freight Agreement(FFA) option contract on the panamax index for calendar 2011 for a modern panamax. Such a contract serves as an approximate hedge to one of our panamax vessels for 2011 effectively locking in a rate between $16,500 and $23,500.
(***) Charter duration indicates the earliest redelivery date. Generally, charterers have a range of 15 days to 3 months to redeliver the vessels depending on the length of the charter.
Summary Fleet Data:
(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 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 are days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels were available to generate revenues.
(4) 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 scheduled off-hire days including days of vessels laid-up.
(5) Commercial off-hire days. We define commercial off-hire days as days waiting to find 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. The shipping industry uses voyage days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.
(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. 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.
(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 net of operational off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.
(11) 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 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. 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.
(12) Daily vessel operating expenses, which include 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 expense 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 excluding drydocking expenses. 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.
(15) Drydocking expenses, which include expenses during drydockings that would 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.

EBITDA Reconciliation:
Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net earnings / loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, gain / loss on derivatives and amortization of deferred revenue from above or below market time charters acquired. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income / loss 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 financial performance and 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.
