STEALTHGAS INC. (NASDAQ: GASS), a ship-owning company primarily
serving the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector of the
international shipping industry, announced today its unaudited
financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and twelve
months ended December 31, 2020.
OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL
HIGHLIGHTS1
- Fleet utilization of 98.5% with 60 days of technical off hire
mainly as a result of two drydockings completed within Q4
2020.
- Fleet operational utilization of 93.6% mainly due to a number
of our ships having a presence in the spot market - equivalent to
28.7% of calendar days.
- Fleet calendar days, down by 2% quarter over quarter to 3,873 –
the decrease attributable mostly to our strategic fleet
contraction.
- About 50% of fleet days secured on period charters for the
remainder of 2021 (74% for Q1 21’), with total fleet employment
days for all subsequent periods (up until June 2024), generating
approximately $81 million in contracted revenues. Including the JV
time charters, total secured revenues amount to $92 million.
- Delivery of a 11,000 cbm newbuilding LPG vessel, the Eco
Blizzard, on February 5, 2021 - thus completing our capital
expenditure schedule.
- Sale of our oldest vessel the Gas Pasha (1995 built) on
December 7, 2020 for further trading.
- Following our recent S&P activity, our average LPG fleet
age (including our JV vessels) is 9 years.
- Voyage revenues of $37.3 million in Q4 ’20, an increase of $2.1
million compared to Q4 ’19 mostly due to a 50% reduction of
bareboat activity where generated revenue is inherently lower and
an increase of time charter revenues stemming from our larger LPG
vessels.
- Net loss of $0.7 million in Q4 20’ corresponding to a net loss
per share of $0.02 compared to net income of $0.5 million in Q4 ’19
corresponding to an EPS of $0.01.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $13.7 million in Q4 20’ compared to $15.1
million in Q4 ’19.
- Low gearing, as debt to assets stands at 37.3%, and quarter-
over- quarter reduction in finance costs by $1.4 million.
- Total cash, including restricted cash, of $53.0 million as
of December 31, 2020 – increased compared to the previous quarter
end following the post-delivery financing of the LPG newbuilding
Eco Alice.
- Adjusted net income of $1.1 million for Q4 20’ corresponding to
an Adjusted EPS of $0.03 while for the year 2020 our Adjusted net
income was $16.9 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS of $0.44
- a good performance given difficult market conditions.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures. Refer
to the reconciliation of these measures to the most directly
comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP set forth
later in this release.
Fourth Quarter 2020
Results:
- Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2020 amounted
to $37.3 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 6.0%, compared to
revenues of $35.2 million for the three months ended December 31,
2019, following an increase of our time charter revenue stemming
from our 22,000 semi–refrigerated LPG vessels and our aframax
tanker, an increase of our freight revenues, along with the 50%
reduction of bareboat activity.
- Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the three
months ended December 31, 2020 were $5.3 million and $14.7 million,
respectively, compared to $4.1 million and $12.6 million,
respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The
$1.2 million increase in voyage expenses is attributed to the 82.5%
increase in spot days. Due to our increased spot activity we
witnessed this quarter a sharp increase of both port expenses and
bunker costs. The 16.7% increase in vessels’ operating expenses
compared to the same period of 2019, is a result of six less
vessels on bareboat, which vessels are now operating either on time
charter or in the spot market along with an increase of crew costs
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Drydocking costs for the three months ended December 31, 2020
and 2019 were $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Drydocking expenses during the fourth quarter of 2020 relate to the
drydocking of two vessels compared to the drydocking of one vessel
in the same period of last year.
- Depreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and
2019 was $9.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively.
- Impairment loss for the three months ended December 31, 2020
was $0.7 million and related to one of our oldest vessels. The
impairment loss for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was
$1.0 million and related to two vessels.
- Net loss on sale of vessels for the three months ended December
31, 2020 was $1.1 million and relates to the sale of two of our
oldest LPG vessels.
- Interest and finance costs for the three months ended December
31, 2020 and 2019 were $3.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively.
The $1.4 million decrease from the same period of last year is
mostly due to the decline of LIBOR rates and the decrease of our
indebtedness.
- Equity (loss)/gain in joint ventures for the three months ended
December 31, 2020 and 2019 was a loss of $0.5 million and a gain of
$0.2 million, respectively. The $0.7 million decrease from the same
period of last year, is mainly due to the operating losses stemming
from the three secondhand (2010 built) 35,000 cbm medium gas
carriers which operate under a joint venture arrangement since Q1
’20, as two of these vessels completed their drydocking within the
fourth quarter of 2020.
- As a result of the above, for the three months ended December
31, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $0.7 million, compared
to net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended December
31, 2019. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the
three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 37.9 million and
39.7 million, respectively. This decrease in the number of shares
is a result of our share buyback program and the tender offer that
was completed in April 2020.
- Loss per share, basic and diluted, for the three months ended
December 31, 2020 amounted to $0.02 compared to earnings per share
of $0.01 for the same period of last year.
- Adjusted net income was $1.1 million or $0.03 per share for the
three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to adjusted net
income of $1.5 million or $0.04 per share for the same period of
last year.
- EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2020 amounted to
$11.8 million. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA to Net (Loss)/Income are set forth below.
- An average of 42.1 vessels were owned by the Company during the
three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to 41.0 vessels for
the same period of 2019.
Twelve Months 2020 Results:
- Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 amounted
to $145.0 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 0.5%, compared
to revenues of $144.3 million for the twelve months ended December
31, 2019, due to higher revenues stemming from our time charter
contracts along with a reduction of our bareboat activity,
partially offset by the reduction of our fleet calendar days by
6.3% and the significant reduction in the calendar days of our
charter-in vessels.
- Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2020 were $14.1 million and $53.3
million, respectively, compared to $17.0 million and $49.6 million
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. The $2.9 million
decrease in voyage expenses is mostly attributed to the 18.7%
reduction in bunker costs due to low prevailing oil prices. The
$3.7 million increase in vessels’ operating expenses is mostly due
to fewer vessels on bareboat and increased crew costs faced due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Drydocking costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020
and 2019 were $3.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The
costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 mainly related
to the drydocking of seven vessels, while the costs for the same
period of last year related to the docking survey of one small LPG
and the drydocking of two LPG vessels.
- General and Administrative expenses for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2020 amounted to $2.3 million compared to $3.7 million
for the same period of last year. This decrease is mainly
attributed to the fact that for the twelve months ended December
31, 2019 share based compensation expense was incurred, which was
not the case for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 since
all the shares awarded under our equity compensation plan vested in
August 2019.
- Depreciation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, was
$37.5 million, a $0.2 million decrease from $37.7 million for the
same period of last year, due to the decrease in the average number
of our vessels.
- Impairment loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020
was $3.9 million and related to four of our oldest vessels. The
impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1.0
million and related to two vessels.
- Interest and finance costs for the twelve months ended December
31, 2020 and 2019 were $14.1 million and $21.0 million,
respectively. The $6.9 million decrease from the same period of
last year is mostly due to the decline of LIBOR rates in 2020,
along with the decrease of our indebtedness.
- Equity gain in joint ventures for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $2.7 million and $0.5 million,
respectively. The $2.2 million increase from the same period of
last year is mainly due to the profitability of the three
secondhand (2010 built) 35,000 cbm medium gas carriers which
operated under a joint venture arrangement since Q1 ‘20.
- As a result of the above, the Company reported net income for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 of $12.0 million,
compared to net income of $2.1 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2019. The weighted average number of shares
outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 38.4 million and
39.8 million, respectively. Earnings per share for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2020 amounted to $0.31 compared to
earnings per share of $0.05 for the same period of last year.
- Adjusted net income was $16.9 million, or $0.44 per share, for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 compared to adjusted net
income of $4.3 million, or $0.11 per share, for the same period of
last year.
- EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 amounted
to $63.4 million. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income are set forth below.
- An average of 41.6 vessels were owned by the Company during the
twelve months ended December 31, 2020, compared to 42.6 vessels for
the same period of 2019.
- As of December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents amounted to
$38.2 million and total debt amounted to $351.8 million. During the
twelve months ended December 31, 2020 debt repayments amounted to
$41.8 million.

Board Chairman Michael Jolliffe
Commented
The year 2020 will always be remembered globally
for precarious reasons and the shipping world was not spared. With
regards to the segment we operate in, LPG demand marked a decline
and rates for the majority of the sub-segments we operate in were
soft- particularly during the second half of 2020. The tanker
market was affected as well as, currently, rates are at very low
levels in the shipping cycle. On top of that, we were hit with the
bankruptcy of one of our charterers which had to redeliver four of
our ships earlier than was agreed.
Nevertheless, with an Adjusted Net Income of
almost $17 million, corresponding to an Adjusted EPS of $0.44
generated in 2020, we feel positive for 2021.
Looking ahead, we recognize that market
turbulence due to the COVID-19 pandemic might last – possibly even
throughout the whole of 2021. However, we can leverage upon our
strengths including our solid cash base and balance sheet, our low
gearing and the significant operating leverage we have, as
including our JV vessels we operate a fleet of 50 ships.
As our shares trade at low levels, we strongly
believe that this is an opportunity for potential investors as we
have a long standing record of a sturdy and prudent company with a
strong position in the segment in which we operate in.

1) Average number of vessels is the number of
owned vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period,
as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was a part
of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar
days in that period. 2) Total calendar days for fleet are the total
days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the
relevant period including off-hire days associated with major
repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys. 3) Total
voyage days for fleet reflect the total days the vessels we
operated were in our possession for the relevant period net of
off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special
or intermediate surveys. 4) Fleet utilization is the percentage of
time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage
days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar
days for the relevant period. 5) Total charter days for fleet are
the number of voyage days the vessels operated on time or bareboat
charters for the relevant period. 6) Total spot market charter days
for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on
spot market charters for the relevant period. 7) Fleet operational
utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels generated
revenue, and is determined by dividing voyage days (excluding
commercially idle days) by fleet calendar days for the relevant
period.
Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income,
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:
Adjusted net income represents net income/(loss)
before (gain)/loss on derivatives excluding swap interest
received/(paid), net loss on sale of vessels, gain on
deconsolidation of subsidiaries, impairment loss and share based
compensation. EBITDA represents net income/(loss) before interest
and finance costs, interest income and depreciation. Adjusted
EBITDA represents net income/(loss) before interest and finance
costs, interest income, depreciation, share based compensation,
impairment loss, (gain)/loss on derivatives, net loss on sale of
vessels and gain on deconsolidation of subsidiaries.
Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted net income
divided by the weighted average number of shares. EBITDA, adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not recognized
measurements under U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable
to that reported by other companies in the shipping or other
industries. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and
Adjusted EPS, you should be aware that in the future we may incur
expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments
in this presentation.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and
adjusted EPS are included herein because they are a basis, upon
which we assess our financial performance. They allow us to present
our performance from period to period on a comparable basis and
provide investors with a means of better evaluating and
understanding our operating performance.
