Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of EuroDry commented: "During the third quarter of 2024, the average earnings for Kamsarmax/Panamax and Ultramax vessels declined, with these declines continuing through October and early November. Although fleet growth during 2024 has been modest by recent historical standards, demand for vessels has weakened, especially, during the second half of the year due partly to the reversal of certain short term factors like Panama Canal throughput constraints but more importantly due to weak demand from China. China's economic growth and the resulting demand for drybulk trade is one of the key factors affecting the drybulk market and one of the main challenges the latter faces. The recent announcement of additional stimulus by China could change the near and medium term prospects of the Chinese economy but its final effect remains to be seen. Still, the biggest source of optimism in the market comes from the supply side which is expected to grow very modestly over the next couple of years.

"In the third quarter of 2024, we exploited the weakness of the market during the summer to early drydock two of our ships to improve their commercial prospects. In addition, two more of our vessels underwent their scheduled drydock. Consequently, our quarterly results were influenced by both the weakness of the market and the cost of the drydockings and related offhire days. With those drydockings completed, our fleet is better positioned to benefit from potential market increases in 2025.

"At the same time, we continue exploring investment opportunities in secondhand or newbuilding projects, especially, as recent market declines resulted in lower vessel values. In this context, we also increased our "firepower" through loan refinancings securing about $16 million in extra liquidity. As always, our focus remains to identify and undertake accretive investment opportunities to generate returns for our shareholders."

Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of EuroDry commented: "Comparing our results for the third quarter of 2024 with the same period of 2023, our net revenues increased by about $4.7 million, due to the increased number of vessels as compared to the third quarter of 2023. The time charter equivalent rates for the period were higher by 8% on average compared to the time charter equivalent rates our vessels earned in the third quarter of 2023. Operating expenses, including management fees, increased from $6,003 per vessel per day in the third quarter of 2023 to $6,147 in the third quarter of 2024, while General and Administrative expenses averaged $704 per vessel per day during the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $677 per vessel per day for the same quarter of last year partly due to higher (non-cash) cost of the Company's stock incentive plan and certain administrative expenses for the entities owning the M/V Christos K and M/V Maria represented by NRP Project Finance AS ("NRP investors") (the "Partnership").

"Adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter of 2024 was $0.5 million compared to $3.1 million achieved for the third quarter of last year. As of September 30, 2024, our outstanding debt (excluding the unamortized loan fees) was $94.6 million while unrestricted and restricted cash was $7.6 million. As of the same date, our scheduled debt repayments including balloon payments over the next 12 months amounted to about $11.1 million (excluding the unamortized loan fees) and all our loan covenants are satisfied."

Third Quarter 2024 Results:
For the third quarter of 2024, the Company reported total net revenues of $14.7 million representing a 47.0% increase over total net revenues of $10.0 million during the third quarter of 2023, which was primarily the result of the increased average number of vessels operating in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the corresponding period of 2023 and the increased charter rates earned. On average, 13.0 vessels were owned and operated during the third quarter of 2024 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $13,105 per day compared to 10.0 vessels in the same period of 2023 earning on average $12,126 per day.

For the third quarter of 2024, voyage expenses, net amounted to $1.5 million and mainly relate to vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during operational off-hire time. For the third quarter of 2023, a gain on bunkers resulted in positive voyage expenses of $0.1 million.

Vessel operating expenses increased to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $4.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase is attributable to the increased number of vessels operating in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023.

Depreciation expense for the third quarter of 2024 amounted to $3.5 million, compared to $2.6 million for the same period of 2023. This increase is again due to the higher number of vessels operating in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023.

General and administrative expenses increased to $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2023. This increase is mainly attributable to the increased cost of our stock incentive plan in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Related party management fees for the period were $1.1 million compared to $0.8 million for the same period of 2023, again due to the increased number of vessels owned and operated in the third quarter of 2024, as well as due to the adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2024, increasing it from 775 Euros to 810 Euros and the unfavorable movement of the euro/dollar exchange rate.

During the third quarter of 2024, four of our vessels completed their special survey with drydocking for a total cost of $4.5 million. During the third quarter of 2023, one of our vessels completed her special survey with drydocking, for a total cost of $0.8 million.

Interest and other financing costs for the third quarter of 2024 amounted to $2.0 million compared to $1.6 million for the same period of 2023. Interest expense during the third quarter of 2024 was higher mainly due to the increased amount of debt of our loans during the period as compared to the same period of last year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a $0.3 million unrealized loss and a $0.05 million realized gain on one interest rate swap contract. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a $0.14 million unrealized gain and a $0.05 million realized gain on one interest rate swap contract. Interest income for the third quarter of 2024 amounted to $0.02 million compared to $0.4 million interest income for the same period of 2023. The decrease in interest income is attributable to lower cash balances maintained during the third quarter of 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023.

The Company reported net loss for the period of $5.2 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $4.2 million, as compared to a net loss and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $0.5 million for the same period of 2023. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 represents the loss attributable to the 39% ownership of the Partnership.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $0.5 million compared to $3.1 million achieved during the third quarter of 2023.

Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to the Company for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.53 calculated on 2,729,603 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, compared to loss per share of $0.19 calculated on 2,758,013 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2023.

Excluding the effect on the loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the quarter of the unrealized loss on derivatives, the adjusted loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 would have been $1.42 per share basic and diluted, compared to adjusted loss of $0.24 per share basic and diluted, respectively for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Usually, security analysts do not include the above item in their published estimates of earnings per share.

First Nine Months 2024 Results:

For the first nine months of 2024, the Company reported total net revenues of $46.6 million representing a 47.0% increase over total net revenues of $31.7 million during the first nine months of 2023, which was mainly the result of the increased number of vessels operated during the nine-month period of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 and the increased charter rates earned. On average, 13.0 vessels were owned and operated during the first nine months of 2024 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $13,339 per day compared to 10.0 vessels in the same period of 2023 earning on average $11,644 per day.

For the nine months of 2024, voyage expenses, net, were $5.2 million and relate to vessels repositioning between charters and expenses during operational off-hire time. For the nine months of 2023 voyage expenses, net, were $3.4 million and mainly relate to expenses incurred by one of our vessels while employed under a voyage charter and expenses during the detention of one of our vessels in Corpus Christi.

Vessel operating expenses were $19.1 million for the nine months of 2024 as compared to $14.8 million for the same period of 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased number of vessels operating in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the corresponding period of 2023.

Depreciation expense for the first nine months of 2024 was $10.4 million compared to $7.7 million during the same period of 2023, mainly due to the higher number of vessels operating in the same period.

Related party management fees for the first nine months of 2024 were increased to $3.2 million from $2.3 million for the same period of 2023 as a result of an adjustment for inflation in the daily vessel management fee, effective from January 1, 2024, increasing the daily vessel management fee from 775 Euros to 810 Euros and the increased number of vessels operating partly offset by the favorable movement of the euro/dollar exchange rate during the period.

General and administrative expenses increased to $2.4 million during the first nine months of 2024 as compared to $2.2 million in the same period of last year. This increase is mainly attributable to the increased cost of our stock incentive plan.

Finally, during the nine months period of 2023, we recorded a provision of $0.5 million for anticipated costs related to the detention of one of our vessels in Corpus Christi presented as other operating loss.

In the first nine months of 2024, seven of our vessels completed their special survey with drydocking for a total cost of $8.2 million. During the same period of 2023, three of our vessels completed their special survey with drydocking for a total cost of $2.9 million.

Interest and other financing costs for the first nine months of 2024 amounted to $6.0 million compared to $4.4 million for the same period of 2023. This increase is mainly due to the increased amount of debt in the current period as well as the increase in the benchmark rates of our loans compared to the same period of 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a $0.1 million unrealized loss and a $0.2 million realized gain on one interest rate swap as well as a $1.3 million unrealized gain and $1.0 million realized loss on FFA contracts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a $1.6 million unrealized loss and a $1.9 million realized gain on four interest rate swaps, three of which were terminated early in the first quarter of 2023, as well as a $2.5 million realized gain on FFA contracts.

Interest income for the first nine months of 2024 amounted to $0.1 million compared to $0.7 million interest income for the same period of 2023. The decrease of interest income is attributable to lower cash balances maintained during the first nine months of 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023.

The Company reported net loss for the period of $7.4 million and a net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $6.4 million, as compared to net loss and net loss attributable to controlling shareholders of $3.3 million, for the first nine months of 2023. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2024 represents the loss attributable to the 39% ownership of the entities owning the M/V Christos K and M/V Maria represented by NRP Project Finance AS ("NRP investors") (the "Partnership").

Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2024 was $7.6 million compared to $8.0 million achieved during the first nine months of 2023.

Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to the Company for the first nine months of 2024 was $2.34, calculated on 2,724,521 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding compared to loss per share of $1.17, calculated on 2,773,916 basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Excluding the effect on the net loss attributable to controlling shareholders for the first nine months of the year of the unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives, the adjusted loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, would have been $2.77 per share basic and diluted, compared to adjusted loss of $0.57 per share basic and diluted, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. As previously mentioned, usually, security analysts do not include the above item 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 provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with voyage revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because we believe that it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. 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) We calculate daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs and related party management fees 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 expenses are calculated by us 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. We compute TVOE as 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) Daily drydocking expenses are calculated by us by dividing drydocking expenses by the fleet calendar days for the relevant period. Drydocking expenses include expenses during drydockings that would have been capitalized and amortized under the deferral method. 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 loss before interest and other financing costs, income taxes, depreciation, unrealized loss / (gain) on Forward Freight Agreement derivatives ("FFAs") and (gain)/loss on interest rate swap derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, 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, unrealized loss / (gain) on FFAs, (gain)/loss 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 loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share Reconciliation:

EuroDry Ltd. considers Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders to represent net loss before unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives, which includes FFAs and interest rate swaps. Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share are included herein because we believe they assist 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, which may significantly affect results of operations between periods. Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss attributable to controlling shareholders or loss per share, as determined by GAAP. The Company's definition of Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries. Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling shareholders and Adjusted loss per share are not adjusted for all non-cash income and expense items that are reflected in our statement of cash flows.
