August 6, 2024 – Athens, Greece – Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (“Seanergy” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SHIP), announced today its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share for the second quarter of 2024 and announced an updated dividend policy targeting the distribution of approximately 50% of operating cash flow after debt service.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company generated Net Revenues of $43.1 million, compared to $28.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 52%. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $28.0 million, 78% higher than $15.7 million in the same period of 2023. Net Income and Adjusted Net Income for the quarter were $14.1 million and $16.0 million, respectively, compared to Net Income of $0.7 million and Adjusted Net Income of $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. The daily TCE rate of the fleet for the second quarter of 2024 was $26,636, compared to $18,708 in the same period of 2023.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company generated Net Revenues of $81.4 million, compared to $46.4 million in the same period of 2023, marking an increase of 75%. Net Income and Adjusted Net Income for the six months were $24.3 million and $27.6 million, respectively, compared to Net Loss of $3.5 million and Adjusted Net Income of $2.9 million in the respective period of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months was $51.2 million, compared to $19.6 million for the same period of 2023. The daily TCE rate of the fleet for the first six-month period of 2024 was $25,365, compared to $14,756 in the same period of 2023. The average daily OPEX was $6,999 compared to $6,921 of the respective period of 2023.
Cash and cash-equivalents and restricted cash, as of June 30, 2024, stood at $38.2 million. Shareholders’ equity at the end of the second quarter was $254.7 million. Long-term debt (senior loans, finance lease liability and other financial liabilities) net of deferred charges stood at $247.6 million, while the book value of the fleet, including a chartered-in vessel and the advance for vessel acquisition, was $466.3 million.
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“Seanergy generated record profitability in the second quarter and first half of 2024 as a result of the execution of our successful strategy to position the Company as a leading dry bulk operator with a pure-play Capesize fleet. The Capesize sector continued to perform more strongly than the other dry bulk asset classes, and Seanergy overperformed the Capesize index both in the second quarter and in the first half of the year. The daily TCE of our fleet was $26,636, representing a premium of about 18% compared to the $22,600 average of the Baltic Capesize Index for the period. Our active hedging plan was a main driver of this outperformance.
“Consistent with our proven strategy of returning capital to shareholders while balancing fleet growth and maintaining a strong balance sheet, our board of directors has adopted an updated dividend policy which further increases our focus on returning capital to our shareholders. Under our updated dividend policy, which targets distribution of approximately 50% of our operating cash flow after debt service, our quarterly dividend increases to $0.25 per share for the second quarter of 2024. Additionally, we resumed our stock repurchases and I have also purchased, in the open market, common shares and call options to purchase Seanergy stock in the coming quarters. Based on our strong and visible cash flow generation, we expect to be able to continue returning significant capital to our shareholders in the coming quarters.
“In terms of fleet updates, in 2024 to date, we have agreed to acquire two Capesize vessels which are, on average, younger than our current fleet. In June, we took delivery of the 2013-built M/V Iconship, with the vessel immediately commencing employment on an index linked time-charter with an earliest expiry date in March 2026. Furthermore, we expect to take delivery of a 2012 built Capesize, that will be renamed M/V Kaizenship, within the third quarter. Following these additions, our fleet will consist of 19 Capesize vessels, up from 17 at the start of 2024. We are pleased with the steady growth we are delivering, while also increasing dividend payments and stock repurchases.
“Moreover, during the quarter we entered a new $58.3 million financing agreement for the recently delivered M/V Iconship. We also refinanced a previous sale and leaseback facility secured by two of our vessels at a lower interest rate. On a net debt basis our loan-to-value ratio at the end of the quarter stood comfortably below 40%, highlighting the continued strength of our balance sheet.
“Regarding our guidance for the third quarter of 2024, we have fixed approximately 42% of our available days at an average gross rate of $29,500 which compares favorably with the performance of the BCI to date. Based on current FFA levels, our TCE is estimated to be approximately equal to $25,500. Lastly, for the second half of the year we have fixed 39% of our fleet’s days at a gross rate of $29,300.
“Concluding with our views on the market, Capesize earnings under the BCI have averaged about $24,000 year to date, at the traditionally weakest half of the year. This points to the strength of the market, which is based on the very low vessel ordering during the previous years. It is encouraging to note that the Capesize orderbook stands at a very low level by historical standards, especially when considering the need for fleet renewal necessitated by the stringent regulations aimed at limiting CO2 emissions. As regards vessel demand, China iron ore and coal imports have risen by 7% and 12% respectively year to date, while the 8% rise in Brazilian iron ore exports has added considerable ton miles. Additionally, steadily growing West African Bauxite exports have contributed to Atlantic Basin cargo flows and kept Capesize demand at high levels. Lastly, taking a longer-term view, we are encouraged by the development of new projects that are expected to add further to ton-mile demand.
“Seanergy is well positioned to continue performing strongly amidst the favorable Capesize market fundamentals, and we will remain focused on delivering high shareholder returns while opportunistically growing our fleet.”

(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.

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.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) represents the sum of net income / (loss), 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 Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, both non-GAAP financial measures, 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 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.
Third Quarter 2024 TCE Rate Guidance:
As of the date hereof, approximately 67% of the Company fleet’s expected operating days in the third quarter of 2024 have been fixed at an estimated TCE rate of approximately $27,243. Assuming that for the remaining operating days of our index-linked time charters, the respective vessels’ TCE rate will be equal to the average Forward Freight Agreement (“FFA”) rate of $22,977 per day (based on the FFA curve as of July 29, 2024), our estimated TCE rate for the third quarter of 2024 will be approximately $25,5134. The following table provides the breakdown of index-linked charters and fixed-rate charters in the third quarter of 2024:

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 $22,977 based on the curve of July 29, 2024. 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.

Vessel Transactions and Commercial Updates
M/V Iconship – Delivery and New T/C agreement
In June 2024, the Company announced the delivery of the M/V Iconship, a 181,392 dwt Capesize bulk carrier, built in 2013 in Japan. At the same time, M/V Iconship commenced its T/C employment with Costamare Bulkers Inc. (“Costamare”), for a duration of minimum 21 months to about 24 months. The daily hire is based at a premium over the BCI. The Company has the option to convert the daily hire from index-linked to fixed for a period of 2 to 12 months based on prevailing Capesize FFA curve. The acquisition of the vessel has been financed with cash on hand and proceeds from the AVIC Sale & leaseback agreement mentioned below.

M/V Lordship - New T/C agreement
In June 2024, the M/V Lordship was fixed on a T/C with Costamare. Following the completion of the vessel’s scheduled drydocking, on July 31, 2024, the T/C commenced for a period of minimum January 1, 2026 to maximum May 31, 2026. The daily hire will be 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.

M/V Dukeship – Time charter extension
In July 2024, the charterer of the M/V Dukeship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period commenced on July 24, 2024 for a duration of minimum June 30, 2025 up to maximum September 30, 2025. All main terms of the time charter remain materially the same.

M/V Fellowship – Time charter extension
In July 2024, the charterer of the M/V Fellowship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct continuation from the current agreement. The extension period will commence within October 2024 for a duration of minimum 20 months to about 24 months. All main terms of the time charter remain materially the same.

M/V Geniuship – Time charter extension
In June 2024, the charterer of the M/V Geniuship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period commenced on July 19, 2024, for a duration of minimum June 2025 up to maximum September 2025. 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.

M/V Honorship – Time charter extension
In May 2024, the charterer of the M/V Honorship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period commenced on May 30, 2024, for a duration of minimum March 16, 2025 to maximum July 15, 2025. 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 Iconship, Hellasship, Patriotship – AVIC Sale & leaseback agreement
The Company entered into three separate sale and leaseback agreements of $58.3 million in aggregate with AVIC International Leasing Co. to refinance the existing debt of the M/Vs Hellasship and Patriotship, and to partially finance the acquisition of the M/V Iconship. The vessels have been sold and chartered back on a bareboat basis for a five-year period commencing on each delivery date. The Company has continuous options to repurchase the vessels at predetermined prices at any time of the bareboat charter. At the end of the bareboat period, Seanergy has the obligation to purchase the vessels for an aggregate amount of approximately $31.5 million. Each financing bears interest of 3-month term SOFR plus 2.55% per annum and the interest rate is approximately 120 bps lower than the rate of the refinanced sale and leaseback agreements. The aggregate charterhire principal for the three vessels will amortize through four quarterly installments of approximately $2.1 million, followed by sixteen quarterly installments of approximately $1.2 million.
