Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. Reports Record Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2022

NEWPORT, RI - May 10, 2022 - 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 March 31, 2022.

1st Quarter Highlights

•Net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. was $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $5.9 million for the same period of 2021.

◦Non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. was $15.7 million, as compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

◦Adjusted Earnings per share of $0.35, as compared to $0.09 for the same period of 2021.

•Diluted net income per share was $0.45 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to diluted net income per share of $0.13 for the same period of 2021.

•Pangaea's TCE rates were $26,472 per day for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $16,524 per day for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

•Adjusted EBITDA was $31.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $12.1 million for the same period of 2021.

•At the end of the quarter, Pangaea had $69.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.

•The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per common share, to be paid on June 15, 2022, to all shareholders of record as of June 1, 2022.

Mark Filanowski, Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions, commented:

“Improving dry bulk market fundamentals resulted in another strong quarter to start 2022 for Pangaea. We were well positioned entering the year after timely expansion of our fleet in 2021, and an early winter ice season seeing greater demand. We aim to extract as much value out of this market as possible and we remain opportunistic in our approach. With the larger owned fleet, and values of older tonnage continuing to appreciate, we announced the sale of the 1999-built Bulk Pangaea for $8.8 million, with the sale expected to close in June. For the first quarter, we generated adjusted EBITDA of $31.3 million and net income of $20.2 million. We achieved TCE rates of $26,472 per day which was a 17% premium over the prevailing market for the quarter.

In response to sanctions against Russia, we have replaced the technical ship managers on our ice class fleet, and we refocused some commercial efforts from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific and North Atlantic basins as new trade routes developed in response. What geopolitical events and macro-economic factors have in store for future shipping markets is up for debate, but we remain ready to adjust our business model to capitalize on new opportunities from these disruptions, as always. With parts of our owned fleet dedicated to long term industrial contract business, our ships well balanced around the globe, and our chartered-in fleet on short term commitments, we feel we have never been in a stronger position as we turn our attention to our summer Arctic shipping ice season.

We are also focused, more and more, on our ports and terminals businesses, especially in areas of tremendous growth. In Sabine, Texas, we are attracting new breakbulk business in green energy systems, and in Brayton Point, Massachusetts we are focusing on wind energy projects and contracts. We are moving infrastructure commodities in US Gulf ports and terminals, and we are working on projects related to infrastructure commodities with partners in the Northeast United States. The complementary services we offer are gaining appreciation of new and established customers. We have created a separate team within Pangaea to operate this part of our business, and we are pleased to have attracted a seasoned veteran of this part of our industry, Brent Mahana, to help spearhead our efforts with cargo and customers.”

Results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Total revenue was $191.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $125.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The 53% increase in revenues was mainly attributed to the increase in the average TCE rates achieved by our vessels during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) was $26,472 per day for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to an average of $16,524 per day for the same period in 2021. The average supramax and panamax market index rates for the first quarter of 2022 were $22,637 per day. The Company's achieved TCE rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 outperformed the average of the Baltic panamax and supramax market indexes and exceeded the average market rates by approximately 17% due to its long-term contracts of affreightment, ("COAs"), its specialized fleet and its cargo-focused strategy.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were $69.9 million as of March 31, 2022, compared with $56.2 million on December 31, 2021.

On March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $92.4 million and $72.2 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $32.1 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $18.2 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $5.5 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of a Panamax vessel which was delivered in February 2022.

Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.1 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $5.9 million for the same period of 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company received $15.0 million in proceeds from finance leases. The Company repaid $3.4 million of long term debt, $3.8 million of finance leases. The Company also paid $2.3 million of cash dividends.

Subsequent Events

On April 20, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the m/v Bulk Pangaea for $8.6 million after brokerage commissions. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million, and recorded the carrying amount of the vessel as vessels held for sale in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022.

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. 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, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairment, loss on sale and leaseback of vessels, share-based compensation and other non-operating income and/or expense, 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.
