Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2025
NEWPORT, RI - August 7, 2025 - 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, 2025.
SECOND QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

GAAP net loss attributable to Pangaea of $2.7 million, or $0.04 per share
Adjusted net loss attributable to Pangaea of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share
Adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million
Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") rates earned by Pangaea of $12,108 per day
Pangaea’s TCE rates exceeded the average Baltic Panamax, Supramax, and Handysize indices by 17%
Declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share and repurchased 202,822 of common stock
Announced the sale of the 2010 built Strategic Endeavor for $7.7 million in July 2025
Announced the purchase of the remaining 49% equity ownership of Seamar Management for $2.7 million on July 31, 2025

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Pangaea reported non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.02 net loss per share, on total revenue of $156.7 million. Second quarter TCE rates decreased 25% on a year-over-year basis, while total shipping days, which include both voyage and time charter days, increased 51% to 6,222 days. The increase in shipping days relative to the year-ago period was primarily attributable to the acquisition of fifteen handy-sized vessels, which was completed at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.

The TCE earned was $12,108 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to an average of $16,223 per day for the same period in 2024. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s average TCE rate exceeded the benchmark average Baltic Panamax, Supramax, and Handysize indices by 17%, supported by Pangaea’s long-term contracts of affreightment ("COAs"), specialized fleet, and cargo-focused strategy.

Total Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 4.1% to $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the prior-year period. Total Adjusted EBITDA margin was 9.8% during the second quarter of 2025, compared to 12.1% during the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin compared to the prior year period is primarily due to a 31.0% decrease in market shipping rates, which was more than offset by the 51% increase in shipping days.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $59.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Total debt, including finance lease obligations was $379.7 million. During the three months ending June 30, 2025, the Company repaid $7.1 million in finance leases, $4.1 million in long term debt, paid $3.2 million in dividends, and repurchased $1.0 million of its common stock.

During the second quarter, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Strategic Endeavor for $7.7 million. The sale of the vessel was completed on July 21, 2025. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company purchased the remaining 49% equity ownership of Seamar Management, the Company’s technical management operations subsidiary, for $2.7 million. The Company has also begun the process of financing the Strategic Spirit for $9.0 million payable over 7 years to $1 million at SOFR +1.95%, and the Strategic Vision for $9.0 million payable over 5 years to $3.6 million at SOFR+1.95%. The financings are expected to close in August 2025 and September 2025 respectively.

The Company’s Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share, payable on September 15, 2025, to all shareholders of record as of September 2, 2025.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Our focused execution and flexible business model continued to deliver premium TCE returns during the second quarter," stated Mark Filanowski, Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions. "Even as market rates remained pressured by macroeconomic uncertainty, we leveraged our expanded fleet and differentiated chartered-in strategy to navigate the current environment."

“The global trade environment remains highly dynamic, with uncertainty around tariffs and port fees slowing long-term commitments from shippers," Filanowski added. "The second quarter ended with an uptick of market rates from seasonal demand in South America. As we enter the third quarter and the peak of our arctic trade season, we see some signs of stabilization and increased activity, especially in our panamax and supramax segments. Quarter-to-date in the third quarter, we've executed 3,671 shipping days at an average TCE of $14,272 per day, supported by our niche ice class fleet and seasonal summer arctic trade."




“Going forward, Pangaea is focused on disciplined capital deployment” stated Filanowski. “During the quarter, we repurchased over 200,000 shares under our existing authorization, reflecting our continued focus on returning capital to shareholders. In addition, we began the process of financing two of our vessels and completed the opportunistic sale of Strategic Endeavor, consistent with our fleet renewal efforts. On the growth side, we are beginning installation of equipment at our Redwing Terminal in Tampa (Florida), and in the second half of this year we will be starting new terminal operations in the Ports of Aransas (Texas), Lake Charles (Louisiana), and Pascagoula (Mississippi).”

STRATEGIC UPDATE

Pangaea remains committed to developing a leading dry bulk logistics and transportation services company of scale, providing its customers with specialized shipping and supply chain and logistics offerings in commodity and niche markets, which drive premium returns measured in time charter equivalent per day.

Leverage integrated shipping and logistics model. In addition to operating the largest high ice class dry bulk fleet of Panamax and post-Panamax vessels globally, Pangaea also performs stevedoring services, together with port and terminal operations capabilities. Following the completion of the SSI acquisition in late 2024, the Company is focused on the integration of the handy sized fleet and leveraging these vessels to compliment and expand its terminal services and stevedoring operations. The Company is steadily advancing its terminal operations expansion at the Port of Tampa, with completion on track for first half 2026.

Continue to drive strong fleet utilization. In the second quarter, Pangaea's owned fleet of 41 vessels was well utilized on average, despite 167 days of off-hire due to dry dockings. The owned vessel fleet was supplemented with an average of 29 chartered-in vessels to support cargo and COA commitments. Through successful integration of the recently acquired fleet of handy-sized vessels, the Company is focused on improving utilization across it’s fleet and continuing to meet the dynamic demands of its customers.

Continue to upgrade fleet, while divesting older, non-core assets. The Company continues to selectively invest in its fleet with the purpose of maximizing TCE rates, meeting evolving regulatory requirements and supporting client cargo needs on an on-demand basis. During the second quarter, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Strategic Endeavor for $7.7 million. The 2010-built ship was the oldest of the strategic handysize fleet. The vessel was sold and delivered to the buyer on July 21, 2025.

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.

Gross Profit. Gross profit represents total revenue less net transportation and service revenue and less vessel depreciation and amortization.

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 and terminal & stevedore 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 net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairment, loss on sale and leaseback of vessels, share-based compensation, other non-operating income and/or expense and other non-recurring items, if any. 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.
