Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of EuroDry commented:
“We are very pleased to report another quarter with very good earnings, one of the highest since the inception of the EuroDry. It is notable though that in the latter part of the second quarter of 2022, and during the month of July, the drybulk market started reflecting the volatility and uncertainties present in the broader economic and geopolitical environment registering charter rate declines of nearly 40% as compared to their late May levels, though still well into profitable range. During the third quarter, we will also have 3 drydockings and we therefore expect our profitability to be reduced but still remain significant.
“On the global scene, high energy prices, mainly due to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, resulted in high inflation which came on top of inflationary pressures that were building up as a result of the COVID-fighting stimuli. This, in turn, magnified the reaction of the central banks to fight it by raising interest rates, thus, increasing the chances of a broad economic recession which would affect the demand for drybulk trade. In addition to this, the continuing COVID pandemic and its regional flare-ups prompted some countries, mainly China, to impose regional lock-downs that also negatively affected drybulk demand. The good news for the sector continue to come from the supply side where the orderbook remains at about 7% of the fleet near its lowest level ever. The resulting reduced vessel deliveries over the next 2-3 years should allow the market to quickly recover as long as demand uncertainties subside and average economic growth resumes.
“Within this environment, we continue to look for ways to add value to our shareholders. With our stock trading at a very steep discount to our net asset value, our Board of Directors considers that buying our own stock represents a very attractive investment for us and has authorized a share repurchase program. At the same time, we are positioning ourselves liquidity-wise to capitalize on more traditional investment opportunities and acquire vessels consistent with our investment criteria should such opportunities appear.”
Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of EuroDry commented:
“The net revenues of the second quarter of 2022 increased significantly compared to the second quarter of 2021 as a result of the increased average number of vessels owned and operated during the quarter compared to the same period of last year. In addition, the time charter equivalent rates our vessels earned during the second quarter of 2022 were higher by 3.9% on average compared to the time charter equivalent rates our vessels earned in the second quarter of 2021.
“Total daily vessel operating expenses, including management fees, general and administrative expenses but excluding drydocking costs, averaged $6,562 per vessel per day during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $6,467 per vessel per day for the same quarter of last year, and $6,584 per vessel per day for the first half of 2022 as compared to $6,518 per vessel per day for the same period of 2021. This increase is mainly due to increased crewing costs and insurances in 2022 compared to 2021.
“Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2022 was $13.7 million versus $9.2 million in the second quarter of last year. As of June 30, 2022, our outstanding debt (excluding the unamortized loan fees) was $71.8 million, while unrestricted and restricted cash was $8.5 million. As of the same date, our scheduled debt repayments including balloon payments over the next 12 months amounted to about $23.2 million (excluding the unamortized loan fees) and all our loan covenants are satisfied.”
Second Quarter 2022 Results:
For the second quarter of 2022, the Company reported total net revenues of $21.0 million representing a 48.9% increase over total net revenues of $14.1 million during the second quarter of 2021 which was the result of the slightly higher time charter rates our vessels earned during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, and the increase in the average number of vessels owned and operated in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The Company reported net income and net income attributable to common shareholders for the period of $10.6 million, as compared to net income of $2.2 million and net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.9 million, for the same period of 2021.
The results for the second quarter of 2022 include an unrealized gain of $0.2 million on five interest rate swap contracts and an unrealized gain of $0.5 million on forward freight agreement (“FFA”) contracts as compared to an unrealized gain of $0.03 million on three interest rate swap contracts and an unrealized loss of $3.1 million on FFA contracts during the second quarter of 2021.
For the second quarter of 2022, voyage expenses, net amounted $0.1 million, relating to voyage expenses incurred during the commercial off hire period and repositioning of M/V “Pantelis P.” In the same period of 2021, a gain on bunkers resulted in positive voyage expenses of $0.1 million. Vessel operating expenses were $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels owned and operated in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. Depreciation expenses for the second quarter of 2022 amounted to $2.9 million, as compared to $1.8 million for the same period of 2021. This increase is due to the higher number of vessels operating in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021. General and administrative expenses were slightly higher at $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. This increase is mainly attributable to the increased cost of our stock incentive plan. During the second quarter of 2022, one of our vessels completed its special survey, for a total cost of $0.8 million, while there were no vessels undergoing drydocking during the second quarter of 2021.
Interest and other financing costs for the second quarter of 2022 amounted to $0.8 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period of 2021. Interest expense during the second quarter of 2022 was higher mainly due to the increased amount of debt during the period as compared to the same period of last year.
On average, 10.79 vessels were owned and operated during the second quarter of 2022 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $23,490 per day, compared to 7.37 vessels in the same period of 2021 earning on average $22,614 per day.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 was $13.7 million compared to $9.2 million achieved during the second quarter of 2021.
Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2022 were $3.66 calculated on 2,898,557 basic, and $3.61 calculated on 2,942,123 diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to $0.83 calculated on 2,353,364 basic, and $0.81 calculated on 2,401,192 diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2021.
Excluding the effect on the income attributable to common shareholders of the unrealized gain on derivatives, the adjusted earnings attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 would have been $3.43 and $3.38 per share basic and diluted, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, excluding the unrealized loss on derivatives and the loss on debt extinguishment, the adjusted earnings attributable to common shareholders would have been $2.81 and $2.76 per share basic and diluted, respectively. Usually, security analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of earnings per share.
First Half 2022 Results:
For the first half of 2022, the Company reported total net revenues of $39.3 million representing a 73.2% increase over total net revenues of $22.7 million during the first half of 2021, which was the result of the higher time charter rates our vessels earned during the first half of 2022 and the increased average number of vessels owned and operated compared to the same period of 2021. The Company reported net income and net income attributable to common shareholders for the period of $21.1 million, as compared to net income of $3.1 million and net income attributable to common shareholders of $2.4 million, for the first half of 2021.
For the first half of 2022, a gain on bunkers resulted in positive voyage expenses of $0.9 million, as compared to positive voyage expenses of $0.4 million in the same period of 2021. Vessel operating expenses were $9.2 million for the first half of 2022 as compared to $6.2 million for the first half of 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels owned and operated in the first half of 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. Depreciation expenses for the first half of 2022 were $5.3 million compared to $3.4 million during the same period of 2021, mainly due to the higher number of vessels operating in the same period. General and administrative expenses were higher during the first half of 2022 at $1.4 million as compared to $1.1 million for the same period of last year. This increase is mainly attributable to the increased cost of our stock incentive plan. During the first half of 2022 two of our vessels completed their special survey with drydocking for a total cost of $1.7 million, while in the first half of 2021 there were no vessels undergoing drydocking.
Interest and other financing costs for the first half of 2022 amounted to $1.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period of 2021. This increase is mainly due to the increased amount of debt in the current period compared to the same period of 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a $1.0 million gain on five interest rate swaps and a $0.5 million unrealized gain on FFA contracts entered into during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to a $0.1 million gain on three interest rate swaps and a $4.1 million unrealized loss and $1.3 million realized loss on FFA contracts entered into during the second quarter of 2021.
On average, 10.17 vessels were owned and operated during the first half of 2022 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $24,025 per day compared to 7.19 vessels in the same period of 2021 earning on average $18,879 per day.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2022 was $26.4 million compared to $13.2 million achieved during the first half of 2021.
Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders for the first half of 2022 was $7.35, calculated on 2,872,966 basic and $7.25, calculated on 2,911,737 diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.03, calculated on 2,322,588 basic and $1.01, calculated on 2,364,879 diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Excluding the effect on the earnings attributable to common shareholders for the first half of the year of the unrealized gain on derivatives, the adjusted earnings attributable to common shareholders for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, would have been $6.77 and $6.68 per share basic and diluted, respectively. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, excluding the unrealized loss on derivatives and the loss on debt extinguishment, the adjusted earnings attributable to common shareholders would have been, compared to earnings of $3.40 per share basic and $3.33, respectively. As previously mentioned, usually, security analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of earnings per share.

(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted the Company’s fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of calendar days each vessel was a part of the Company’s 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 owned by us 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.
(4) Available days. We define available days as the total number of Calendar days in a period net of scheduled off-hire days incl. laid up. We use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels were available to generate revenues.
(5) Commercial off-hire days. We define commercial off-hire days as days a vessel is idle without 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. We use voyage days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues or are sailing for repositioning purposes.
(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. We use 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 days net of operational off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.
(11) Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily net revenue performance of our vessels. Our method of calculating TCE is determined by dividing time charter revenue and voyage charter revenue 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, or are related to repositioning the vessel for the next charter. 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, pool agreements and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Our definition of TCE may not be comparable to that used by other companies in the shipping industry.
(12) Daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs and related party management fees are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses and related party management fees 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 expenses 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. TVOE is the sum of vessel operating expenses, related party management fees and general and administrative expenses; drydocking expenses are not included. Daily TVOE is calculated by dividing TVOE by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.
(15) Drydocking expenses include expenses during drydockings that would have 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. The Company expenses drydocking expenses as incurred.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation:
EuroDry Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, loss on debt extinguishment, unrealized loss / (gain) on Forward Freight Agreement derivatives (“FFAs”) and loss / (gain) on interest rate swap derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its financial performance because the Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, financial costs, loss on debt extinguishment, unrealized loss / (gain) on FFAs, loss / (gain) on interest rate swap derivatives, and depreciation. The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share Reconciliation:
EuroDry Ltd. considers Adjusted net income to represent net income before unrealized (gain)/ loss on derivatives, which includes FFAs and interest rate swaps, and loss on debt extinguishment. Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share is included herein because we believe it assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of the Company’s fundamental performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives and loss on debt extinguishment, which may significantly affect results of operations between periods. Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or earnings per share, as determined by GAAP. The Company’s definition of Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.
