GLYFADA, Greece, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Maritime Corporation ("United" or the "Company") $(USEA)$, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The Company also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2024.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated Net Revenues of $10.8 million compared to $11.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $5.1 million, compared to $4.6 million for the same period of 2023. Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss for the quarter were $1.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, compared to Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss of $0.7 million and $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") rate of the fleet for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $14,248 per day, compared to $15,874 in the same period of 2023.
For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated Net Revenues of $45.4 million, compared to $36.1 million in the same period of 2023. Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss for the period were $3.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to Net Income of $0.2 million and Adjusted Net Income of $2.8 million in the respective period of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-month period of 2024 was $20.3 million, compared to $18.9 million for the same period of 2023. The TCE rate of the fleet for the twelve-month period of 2024 was $15,719 per day, compared to $15,380 earned in 2023.
Cash and cash-equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2024, stood at $6.8 million. Shareholders' equity at the end of the fourth quarter was $60.1 million, while long-term debt, finance lease liabilities and other financial liabilities, net of deferred finance costs stood at $97.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The book value of our fleet as of December 31, 2024, stood at $153.0 million, including one chartered-in Kamsarmax vessel and one vessel held for sale.
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company's Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
"United achieved significant progress in 2024, successfully executing our strategic plan to build and operate a high-quality dry bulk fleet amid a positive sector outlook. Following our 2023 acquisitions, which were structured either through bareboat-in agreements with favorable purchase options or efficient bridge financing, our focus in 2024 shifted toward securing long-term financing under improved terms to optimize our balance sheet and fleet operations.
"As part of our commitment to maximizing shareholder value, we declared total dividends for 2024 of $0.235 per share and repurchased approximately $0.5 million in shares throughout the year. Considering the performance of the Panamax market in the recent months, our board of directors has approved a reduced dividend of $0.01 per share for the fourth quarter of 2024. At the same time, given our shares' current undervalued market price, we extended our share repurchase program by 12 months, with $1.9 million remaining from an initial $3.0 million authorization. We are actively evaluating opportunities to enhance returns and optimize capital allocation based always on the underlying market conditions.
"We also remain optimistic about our offshore investment, which is progressing in line with expectations. In July 2024, we acquired an equity stake in a newbuilding project for a cutting-edge Energy Construction Vessel, designed to support both the Oil & Gas and renewable energy sectors in a broad range of construction and maintenance projects. The market for such technologically advanced vessels is expected to see strong demand, particularly amid a supply shortage of specialized offshore assets.
"On the fleet development front, we have continued optimizing our fleet composition. In recent months, we acquired a 2016-built Panamax bulk carrier while strategically divesting two older vessels: the 2010-built Kamsarmax M/V Oasea and the 2004-built Capesize M/V Gloriuship which is expected to be delivered to her new owners in the third quarter of 2025. These moves enhance our fleet's efficiency and competitiveness, ensuring that upon completion of the M/V Gloriuship sale, we will operate a younger, more modern fleet that better meets market conditions and charterer requirements. Furthermore, the integration of two additional Panamax vessels into our AI-powered operating platform enhances monitoring, fuel efficiency, and operational optimization. Post-sale of the M/V Gloriuship, our fleet will consist of seven vessels: two Capesize and five Panamax/Kamsarmax bulk carriers.
"In terms of financing, in 2024, we secured two sale-and-leaseback agreements and a new loan facility totaling $48.3 million. These funds were used to refinance a short-term bridge loan and exercise the purchase options for two Panamax vessels. As a result, we have eliminated all near-term debt maturities, ensuring no major obligations until the fourth quarter of 2026, while simplifying our capital structure and reinforcing our financial flexibility.
"Regarding market conditions, our fourth-quarter results were impacted by a seasonal slowdown in coal and iron ore trade, which we view as part of typical seasonality following robust export volumes in the first three quarters of the year. Despite this, the long-term fundamentals of the dry bulk market remain strong, supported by structural shifts in global trade and fleet supply constraints.
"Ongoing discussions on trade tariffs could lead to material shifts in global trade flows, potentially creating alternative shipping routes that would increase ton-mile demand. Additionally, the potential resolution of geopolitical conflicts may lead to the reopening of key trading corridors, facilitating the reconstruction and economic revival of regions previously affected by war. This could generate substantial demand for raw materials, further strengthening the dry bulk shipping sector.
"Given United's fleet composition and strategic positioning, we are well-placed to capitalize on these evolving trade dynamics. As these potential positive macroeconomic and geopolitical developments unfold, our shareholders stand to benefit from enhanced fleet utilization, improving market conditions, and our commitment to financial strength and operational excellence."

(1) The latest redelivery dates do not include any additional
optional periods.
(2) "T/C" refers to a time charter agreement. Under these
index-linked T/Cs, the Company has the option to convert
the index-linked rate to fixed for a period of minimum
two months, based on the prevailing FFA Rates for
the selected period, and has done so for certain vessels
as part of its freight hedging strategy, as described
below under "First Quarter 2025 TCE Rate Guidance".
(3) The vessel is expected to be delivered to her new
owners within the third quarter of 2025.
(4) The vessel is technically and commercially operated
by the Company on the basis of an 18-month bareboat
charter-in contract with the owners of the vessel,
including a purchase option at the end of the bareboat

-------------------------------- ------- ------- -------- --------
(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. 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.
Operating days include the days that our vessels are
on ballast voyages without having finalized agreements
for their next employment.
(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.
(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, a
non-GAAP measure, 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.

TCE rate $14,248 $15,874 $15,719 $15,380
(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 of acquired vessels, 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 following
table reconciles the Company's vessel operating expenses
to daily vessel operating expenses.

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, impairment loss, loss on extinguishment of debt and loss on equity method investment, 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. 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 (loss) / income and Adjusted Net (loss) / income Per Share, both non-GAAP measures, from Net (loss) / income, we exclude certain non-cash items, as provided in the table above. We believe that Adjusted Net (loss) / income and Adjusted Net (loss) / income 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 stock-based compensation, impairment loss, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on equity method investment 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 measures 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 (loss) / income and Adjusted Net (loss) / income 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 94% of the Company fleet's expected operating days in the fourth quarter of 2024 have been fixed at an estimated TCE rate of approximately $10,480. Assuming that for the remaining operating days of our index-linked T/Cs, the respective vessels' TCE rate will be equal to an average Forward Freight Agreement ("FFA") rate of $21,392 for Capesize and $111,557 for Kamsarmax per day (based on the FFA curve of March 14, 2025), our estimated TCE for the first quarter of 2025 is approximately $10,299(2) . Our TCE rate guidance for the first quarter of 2025 includes the already performed conversions of index-linked charters to fixed for the period.
The following table provides the breakdown of index-linked charters and fixed-rate charters in the first quarter of 2025:
Operating Days TCE Rate
---------------------------------------------- -------------- --------
TCE - fixed rate (index-linked conversions) 31 $11,260
---------------------------------------------- -------------- --------
TCE - fixed rate 180 $13,390
---------------------------------------------- -------------- --------
TCE -- index-linked 483 $8,968
---------------------------------------------- -------------- --------
Total / Average 694 $10,299
---------------------------------------------- -------------- --------
________________
(2) 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 an average FFA rate of $21,392 for Capesize and $11,557 for Kamsarmax per day (based on the FFA curve of March 14, 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 the previously announced quarterly dividend of $0.075 per common share, for the third quarter of 2024, to all shareholders of record as of December 27, 2024.
The Company also declared a cash dividend of $0.01 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.
Extension of the Existing Share Repurchase Program
The program, previously set to expire on December 31, 2024, has been extended for a further 12-month period. Under the program, the Company may repurchase up to $3.0 million of its outstanding common shares in the open market. As of today, approximately $1.9 million remains available for repurchases, while the program will remain effective through the period ending December 31, 2025.
Vessel transactions and commercial updates
Sale of M/V Gloriuship
The Company has entered into a definitive agreement with an unaffiliated third party for the sale of its oldest Capesize vessel, the 171,314 dwt M/V Gloriuship, built in 2004. The vessel is expected to be delivered to her new owners by mid-July 2025, following her acquisition by the Company under her existing sale and leaseback agreement. The aggregate net sale price is approximately $15.0 million, and the transaction is subject to customary closing procedures.
Integration of M/V Synthesea into the DeepSea AI Platform
The integration of M/V Synthesea into our partnership with DeepSea equips the vessel with AI-driven solutions for real-time monitoring and optimization of energy consumption, fuel usage, and performance.
