Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2020
NEWPORT, RI - August 12, 2020 - 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, 2020.
2nd Quarter Highlights

Net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. was $3.0 million for three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $4.0 million of net income for the same period of 2019.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. of $3.7 million as compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Net income per share was $0.07 for three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to earnings per share of $0.09 for the same period of 2019.
Pangaea's TCE rates were $10,733 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $12,933 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The market average for the second quarter of 2020 was approximately $5,548, giving the Company an overall average premium over market rates of approximately $5,185 or 93%.
Adjusted EBITDA of $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Total revenue decreased to $70.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $83.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to a decrease in market hire and freight rates.
At the end of the quarter, Pangaea had $49.5 million in cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents.

Ed Coll, Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions, commented:

"Our strong second quarter results outperformed in a challenging dry bulk market that tested historic lows in April and May. Adhering to our strategy in turbulent markets, we limited our exposure by adjusting our fleet composition, redelivering chartered vessels back to their owners over the last several months and replacing them when needed at lower cost. Second quarter 2020 operating income of $6.1 million, before non-cash impairment charges, is a remarkable turnaround from our first quarter of 2020 operating loss of $2.3 million. Our achieved TCE rate of $10,733 per day represented an outperformance of $5,548, or 93% premium over the average market rates.
Mr. Coll added, "Looking forward we move into our seasonally strong summer ice season in a strong position. Although the market has recovered somewhat since June, we are watching global economic output and the disruptions caused by COVID-19, from changes to our working environment to rotating crews aboard our vessels. We sincerely empathize with the hardships our people and their familiars are facing, ashore and aboard our vessels. Our results are encouraging, but we expect, and will prepare for, continued uncertainty and turbulence in our markets over the next few quarters."
Results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
Total revenue was $70.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $83.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The 15% decrease in revenues was mainly attributed to the decrease in the average time charter rates achieved by our vessels during the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) was $10,733 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to an average of $12,933 per day for the same period in 2019. However, the achieved premium over the average market increased by $5,185 per day or 93% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The total number of shipping days remained relatively consistent with a 1% increase to 3,600 days in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 3,562 for the same period in 2019, predominantly due to the increase in voyage days.
Liquidity and Cash Flows
Cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents were $49.5 million as of June 30, 2020, compared with $53.1 million on December 31, 2019.
At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had working capital of $37.3 million and $37.1 million, respectively. Operating cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was a net inflow of $6.9 million as compared to a net inflow of $19.6 million during the same period of 2019.
Investing cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was a net inflow of $5.8 million as compared to a net outflow of $33.5 million during the same period of 2019. Financing cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was a net outflow of $16.2 million as compared to net inflow of $1.5 million during the same period of 2019. The Company sold two vessels and paid off a lease obligation during the six months ended June 30, 2020.



Subsequent Event
On June 29, 2020, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement to sell the Bulk Beothuk, a 2002-built Supramax vessel, to a third party for $4.6 million less a broker commission payable to a third party. The vessel was delivered to its new owner on August 4, 2020.

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 transportation and service revenue. Net transportation and service revenue represents total revenue less the total direct costs of transportation and services, which includes charter hire, voyage and vessel operating expenses. Net transportation and service revenue is included because it is used by management and certain investors to measure performance by comparison to other logistic service providers. Net transportation and service 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 transportation and service 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, stock-based compensation 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 of vessel, loss on sale and leaseback of vessel, loss on impairment of vessel, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, 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 during the period to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
