C3is Inc. reports fourth quarter and twelve months 2024 financial and operating results

ATHENS, Greece, March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 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 
      $43,000 per day. 
 
   -- All of our vessels are unencumbered. 
 
   -- Fleet operational utilization of 90.2% for the three months ended 
      December 31, 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 $9.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, 
      corresponding to a daily TCE I of $15,665. 
 
   -- Cash balance, including time deposits, of $12.6 million at year end 2024, 
      after total payments for vessel acquisitions of $41 million during the 
      year. 
 
   -- For the full year 2024, daily TCE decreased by 9% as compared to the same 
      period in 2023. 
 
   -- Net Income of $0.1 million, EBITDAi of $2.0 million and Loss per Share, 
      Basic, of $1.57 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. 
 
   -- Net Loss of $2.7 million, EBITDA of $5.0 million and Loss per Share, 
      Basic, of $4.29 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. 
 
   -- Adjusted net incomei of $1.1 million and $8.7 million for the three and 
      twelve months ended December 31, 2024, decreases of 81% for the 3 months' 
      period and 7% for the twelve months' period compared to the 2023 
      equivalent periods. 
 
   -- Adjusted EBITDAi of $16.4 million for the twelve months ended December 
      31, 2024, an increase of 11% as compared to the twelve months ended 
      December 31, 2023. 
 
   -- In 2024 the Company paid $39.5 million, representing the remaining 90% 
      purchase price on the Aframax oil tanker, Afrapearl II, and $1.6 million, 
      representing the 10% purchase price of the Bulk Carrier, Eco Spitfire. 
      The funds used were provided by operations, cash on hand and net proceeds 
      from equity offerings.For accounting purposes, the balance payable on the 
      two vessels had to be recorded as capital due and interest costs, 
      although no interest was charged by the Sellers. The final balances paid 
      remain the same as the originally agreed purchase prices. 
   -- The Company recorded a non-cash adjustment of $11.1 million as "Loss on 
      Warrants" for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, mainly due to 
      the change in the fair value of warrants as at December 31, 2024 as 
      compared to the fair value as of their issuance date during Q1 2024. 
 
   -- In January 2025, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common 
      shares of 1-for-2.5, thus all share amounts have been retrospectively 
      restated. 

(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.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results:

   -- Voyage revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2024 amounted to 
      $9.4 million, a decrease of $4.4 million compared to revenues of $13.8 
      million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to 
      the decrease in charter rates. Total calendar days for our fleet were 368 
      days for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 276 
      days for the same period in 2023. Of the total calendar days in the

      $4.4 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 
      2023. The decrease in voyage expenses was attributed to the decrease in 
      bunkers cost in Q4 2024 and the decrease in brokerage commissions as

      mainly attributed to the increase in the average number of our vessels.

      bunkers cost and port expenses of $2.0 million and $1.3 million, 
      respectively, corresponding to 54% and 35% of total voyage expenses due 
      to the fact that the vessel Afrapearl II operated in the spot market.

CEO Dr. Diamantis Andriotis commented:

For the year 2024, we reported Revenues of $42.3 million -- an increase of 47% from 2023 Revenues of $28.7 million, Voyage Revenues minus Voyage Expenses of $28.2 million -- an increase of 34% from 2023, and an adjusted EBITDA of $16.4 million -- 11% higher than 2023.

We have taken delivery of our fourth vessel this year, bringing our total fleet capacity to 213,464 DWT, an increase of 234% from the Company's inception over a year ago.

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

Our cash balance, including time deposits, at year end 2024 was $12.6 million, after total payments of $41 million for vessel acquisitions during the year.

Shipping is currently navigating a transitional phase, with shifting dynamics influenced by geopolitical factors, environmental regulations, demand patterns and weather-related challenges.

While navigating these most volatile waters, we are closely monitoring the evolving situations and are focused on identifying those components that would maximize our future profits.

Politics will play an important role in shipping in 2025, particularly in the US.

The Trump administration is likely to push an agenda aligned with "drill baby, drill"; this combined with the threat of tariffs on all Chinese built vessels, of which we have none, are two important factors that, if they materialize, could have a significant positive impact on the profitability of our company.

With a clear focus on emerging opportunities, we remain confident that 2025 will be a year that will produce strong financial performance and potential growth prospects.

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 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 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, 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) 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.
