Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2018
Company delivers earnings of $0.14 per share in the past three months and
$0.52 per share in the past twelve months
NEWPORT, RI - August 7, 2018 - Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. (“Pangaea” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PANL), a global provider of comprehensive maritime logistics solutions, announced today its results for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
2nd Quarter 2018 Highlights
• | $13.7 million Adjusted EBITDA(1) |
• | Net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. of $5.8 million or $0.14 per share |
• | Pangaea's average TCE rates increased 21% to $13,728 and the average premium over market rates was approximately $2,951 |
• | Cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents of $52.4 million |
Results for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
For the second quarter of 2018, the Company reported net income of $5.8 million, compared to net loss of $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. The drybulk market fundamentals improved considerably in the second quarter as compared to the same period of 2017, which meant a dramatic improvement in net revenue(2) to $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared with $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Charter hire and voyage expenses were lower, as a percentage of revenue, than in the comparable quarter.
“The pace of our shipping operations really picked up in the second quarter”, said Ed Coll, Pangaea’s Chief Executive Officer. “The average fleet employed in our business increased to about 47 ships during the quarter, and our overall time charter returns averaged $13,728 per day for the most recent quarter, a significant premium to market indexes. Our balance sheet improved as well, not only because of our profitable operations, but also because of our relationships with a range of financing sources who refinance maturing loans at favorable terms. Regarding cash flow, the sale/charterback transaction on the m/v Bulk Trident provided approximately $10 million in cash, and the planned sale/charterback of the m/v Bulk PODS, which was delivered on August 1, 2018, will return the cash purchase price of approximately $14 million. Collectively, these strong fundamentals position us to capitalize on the beginning of a good market cycle as we enter expansion mode.”
Coll also commented on the recent ten-year contract the Company has signed with Baffinland Iron Mines to carry high-ferrous iron ore from Baffin Island to Europe on its ice class ships. “This valuable relationship, started three years ago at the commencement of shipments of iron ore from Baffin Island, has proven to be an integral part of the Baffinland operation, and an anchor to our ice business in the summer months in the Arctic Circle. With continued development of the mining operations, we think there is room for both Baffinland and Pangaea to grow their businesses, and we look forward to working together for a long time, in mutually beneficial ways.”
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and represents income or loss from operations before depreciation and amortization, loss on sale and leaseback of vessel and, when applicable, loss on impairment of vessels and certain non-recurring items. See Reconciliation of Income from Operations to Adjusted EBITDA.
(2) Net revenue represents total revenue less the total direct costs of transportation and services, which includes charter hire, voyage and vessel operating expenses.
The average TCE rate of $13,728 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2018, was up from $11,333 per day for the same period in 2017. Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $96.8 million, compared to $91.4 million for the same period in 2017. The total number of shipping days decreased 8% to 4,283 in the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 4,661 for the same period in 2017, largely due to the completion of the Charleston project. The decrease in total shipping days was offset by the large increase in TCE rates.
Liquidity and Cash Flows
Cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents were $52.4 million as of June 30, 2018, compared with $38.5 million on December 31, 2017.
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had working capital of $29.2 million and $13.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $20.8 million, compared to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $2.8 million and $47.7 million, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities was $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 while net cash provided by financing activities was $44.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. These changes reflect the Company’s investment in and purchase of new vessels in 2017, including the m/v Bulk Destiny, which was financed under a sale and leaseback arrangement; and the m/v Bulk Endurance which was financed under a commercial loan facility while the current period includes only the sale and leaseback of the m/v Bulk Trident..

INFORMATION ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release discusses non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net revenue and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. This is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use non-GAAP financial measures for internal financial and operational decision making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of the performance and results of operations of our core business. Our management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our core business by excluding charges that are not incurred in the normal course of business. Non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal planning and comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity. We believe certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance and operational results of our core business.
Net revenue. Net revenue represents total revenue less the total direct costs of transportation and services, which includes charter hire, voyage and vessel operating expenses. Net revenue is included because it is used by management and certain investors to measure performance by comparison to other logistic service providers. Net revenue is not an item recognized by the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other indicator of a company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. Pangaea’s definition of net revenue used here may not be comparable to an operating measure used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA represents income or loss from operations before depreciation, amortization and, when applicable, loss on sale and leaseback of vessel, loss on impairment of vessels and certain non-recurring charges. Earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Adjusted earnings per share represents net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. plus, when applicable, loss on sale and leaseback of vessel, loss on impairment of vessel and certain non-recurring charges, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock.
There are limitations related to the use of net revenue versus income from operations, adjusted EBITDA versus income from operations, and adjusted EPS versus EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP. In particular, Pangaea’s definition of adjusted EBITDA used here are not comparable to EBITDA.
The table set forth above provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
