NEWPORT, R.I., Aug. 7,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 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."
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.
(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.
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.

Company recorded a $2.4 million
adjustment to decrease retained earnings at the beginning of 2018,
which reflects the cumulative impact of adopting this standard.

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.
