C3is Inc. reports third quarter and nine months 2024 financial and operating results

Athens, Greece, November 18, 2024 – C3is Inc. (Nasdaq: CISS) (the “Company”), a ship-owning company providing dry bulk and tanker seaborne transportation services, announced today its unaudited financial and operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

•

Our handysize dry bulk carriers are on time charters of short term durations, producing steady cash flows, while our Aframax tanker operates in the spot market, currently achieving voyage charter rates of around $48,000 per day.

 

•

All our handysize dry bulk carriers and our Aframax tanker are unencumbered.

 

•

Fleet operational utilization of 90.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, mainly due to the commercial idle days of the vessel that operated in the spot market, as our vessels that operated under time charter employment had few commercial idle days.

 

•

Revenues of $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, corresponding to a daily TCEI of $13,084.

 

•

24% increase in daily TCE for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

•

Net Income of $5.1 million, EBITDAi of $7.0 million and Basic EPS of $0.69 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

•

Net Loss of $2.9 million, EBITDA of $3.0 million and Basic Loss per Share of $1.60 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

•

Adjusted net incomei of $0.3 million and $7.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, a decrease of 91% for the 3 months’ period and an increase of 106% for the nine months’ period compared to the 2023 equivalent period.

 

•

Adjusted EBITDAi of $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 92% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

•

In July 2024, the Company paid off the remaining 90% purchase price on the Aframax oil tanker, amounting to $39.5 million, using cash provided by operations, cash on hand and net proceeds from equity offerings.

 

•

The Company recorded a non-cash adjustment of $10.4 million as “Loss on Warrants” for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which mainly arose due to the change in the fair value of warrants as at September 30, 2024 as compared to the fair value as of their issuance date during Q1 2024.

 

i	TCE, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income 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.

In April 2024 we paid off $1.62 million, representing the 10% balance due on the Eco Spitfire, and during the third quarter of 2024, we paid off the remaining balance of $39.5 million due on our Aframax tanker.

We have more than trebled our fleet capacity without incurring any bank debt.

Our strategy of expansion has continuously been bearing fruits, as proven by the results of every single quarter since the Company’s inception.

We will continue to aim at achieving sustainable growth despite the current challenges of macro and micro conditions.

The results of the US elections will have significant implications on the global shipping industry.

The proposed policies of 10% tariff on all U.S. imports and 60% tariff on Chinese products are poised to re-shape trade dynamics, thus affecting shipping.

The industry also faces added uncertainty around the current geopolitical situation, with two major conflicts having a significant impact on shipping markets, combined with the outcome of environmental regulations.

We will closely monitor these evolving situations and maintain an agile and effective control of our business, focusing on maximizing our results.

We will continue to address industry challenges, and will maintain our strategy to provide safe global transportation services in parallel with producing excellent financial performance, attractive returns and growth prospects for our shareholders.

Conference Call details:

FLEET DATA		Q3 2023				Q3 2024				9M 2023				9M 2024
Average number of vessels (1)			2.86				4.00				2.29				3.53
Period end number of owned vessels in fleet			3				4				3				4
Total calendar days for fleet (2)			263				368				625				966
Total voyage days for fleet (3)			262				368				624				962
Fleet utilization (4)			99.6	%			100.0	%			99.8	%			99.6	%
Total charter days for fleet (5)			180				245				506				612

Fleet operational utilization (7)			98.5	%			90.2	%			93.6	%			90.3	%

 

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 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 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 warrants 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, gain/(loss) on warrants and share based compensation.

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 and our investors 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.

Reconciliation of TCE:

Time Charter Equivalent rate or “TCE” rate is determined by dividing voyage revenue net of voyage expenses by voyage days for the relevant time period. TCE is a non-GAAP measure which provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with voyage revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Time charter equivalent revenues assisting the Company’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. TCE is also 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 charters or time charters, but not bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. TCE assists our investors to assess our financial performance from period to period on a comparable basis and provide investors with a means of better evaluating and understanding our operating performance.
