NEWPORT, R.I., Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 September 30, 2025.

THIRD QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

GAAP net income attributable to Pangaea of $12.2 million, or $0.19 per share
Adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea of $11.2 million, or $0.17 per share
Adjusted EBITDA of $28.9 million
Operating cash flow of $28.6 million
Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") rates earned by Pangaea of $15,559 per day
Pangaea's TCE rates exceeded the average Baltic Panamax, Supramax, and Handysize indices by 10%
Declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share
Entered into a memorandum of agreement in October 2025 to sell the 2005-built Bulk Freedom for $9.6 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Pangaea reported non-GAAP adjusted net income of $11.2 million, or $0.17 net income per share, on total revenue of $168.7 million. Third quarter TCE rates decreased 5% on a year-over-year basis, while total shipping days, which include both voyage and time charter days, increased 22% to 5,872 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 $15,559 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to an average of $16,324 per day for the same period in 2024. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company's average TCE rate exceeded the benchmark average Baltic Panamax, Supramax, and Handysize indices by 10%, supported by Pangaea's long-term contracts of affreightment ("COAs"), specialized fleet, and cargo-focused strategy.

Total Adjusted EBITDA increased by 20.3% to $28.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to the prior-year period. Total Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.1% during the third quarter of 2025, compared to 15.7% during the prior year period. This improvement primarily reflects a 22% increase in shipping days with a 13% decrease in voyage expenses on a per day basis.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $94.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Total debt, including finance lease obligations was $386.3 million. During the three months ending September 30, 2025, the Company repaid $7.2 million in finance leases and $4.1 million in long term debt, and received $18 million from financing obligations related to the successful financings of the Strategic Spirit and Strategic Vision. In addition the Company paid $3.2 million in dividends, and repurchased $1.0 million of its common stock.

The Company's Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share, payable on December 15, 2025, to all shareholders of record as of December 1, 2025.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"We delivered strong results in the third quarter of 2025, with Adjusted EBITDA up 20%, demonstrating the leverage in our model. This growth was supported by solid Arctic trade activity, robust utilization across our niche ice-class fleet, and the stability of our long-term COAs," stated Mark Filanowski, Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions. "Our differentiated business model, expanded fleet, and niche ice-class vessel fleet, drove TCE rates 10% above the market, fueling a strong improvement in profitability year-over-year."

"Dry bulk fundamentals remain stable, with growing demand for the minor bulks we serve, supporting market pricing amid normal seasonality and tariff-related uncertainties," Filanowski added. "Looking ahead, we continue to see a favorable medium-term dry bulk environment, supported by limited vessel supply and regulatory-driven constraints on global capacity. As we enter the fourth quarter, we executed 4,210 shipping days at an average TCE of $17,107 per day, reflecting continued Arctic activity early in the quarter and a return to normal seasonal patterns."

"During the third quarter, we successfully completed the sale of the Strategic Endeavor for $7.7 million and have entered into an agreement to sell the Bulk Freedom for $9.6 million in the fourth quarter, which is expected to generate a gain of approximately $2.7 million. These transactions reflect the continuation of our fleet renewal strategy. In addition to these efforts, we are advancing strategic growth investments across our terminal operations, with new activities underway at Aransas, Pascagoula and Lake Charles, and operations at Tampa on track to launch in early 2026. We remain focused on disciplined capital allocation to maintain balance sheet flexibility and sustain a return of capital to shareholders. At the end of the quarter, our liquidity remained strong with over $94 million in cash, and looking forward we remain committed to continuing a consistent return of capital through quarterly dividends and share repurchases."

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 that drive premium returns measured in time charter equivalent per day.

Leverage integrated shipping and logistics model. Pangaea continues to leverage its integrated shipping and logistics model to deliver value across the supply chain. In addition to operating the world's largest high ice-class dry bulk fleet of Panamax and post-Panamax vessels, the Company provides stevedoring services and maintains robust port and terminal operations capabilities. Following the successful completion of the SSI acquisition in late 2024, Pangaea is focused on integrating the newly acquired handy-size fleet and utilizing these vessels to complement and expand its terminal services and stevedoring operations. This integration strengthens our ability to offer end-to-end solutions and enhances operational flexibility for customers. The Company is also advancing its organic growth initiatives to scale its terminal operations business. Key projects include the expansion at the Port of Tampa and the launch of new operations at the Ports of Aransas, Texas; Lake Charles, Louisiana; and Pascagoula, Mississippi. Operations at Pascagoula have commenced, activities at Aransas and Lake Charles are now underway, and Tampa remains on track for early 2026. These investments position Pangaea to capture growing demand for integrated logistics services and reinforce our commitment to long-term growth.

Continue to drive strong fleet utilization. Pangaea delivered strong fleet utilization during the third quarter, supported by robust demand across key Arctic trade routes. The Company's owned fleet of 40 vessels operated at high efficiency, supplemented by an average of 24 chartered-in vessels to fulfill cargo and COA commitments. Following the successful integration of the recently acquired handy-size fleet, Pangaea remains focused on optimizing utilization across its expanded platform and enhancing flexibility to meet the evolving needs of its customers.

Continue to upgrade fleet, while divesting older, non-core assets. Pangaea continues to execute its disciplined fleet renewal strategy, selectively investing in modern assets to maximize TCE performance, comply with evolving regulatory standards, and meet customer cargo requirements on demand. During the third quarter, the Company completed the sale of Strategic Endeavor for $7.7 million. In October 2025, Pangaea entered into an agreement to sell the Bulk Freedom for $9.6 million. Built in 2005, Bulk Freedom is the oldest vessel in the fleet, and its divestiture underscores our commitment to maintaining a modern, efficient platform. Delivery to the buyer is expected in the fourth quarter of 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.
