Analysis

The stock is surging +28.1% following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with the substantial profitability reported for Q4 and full-year 2025, including net income of $10.5 million and EBITDA of $17 million. However, the stock traded 98.84% below its 52-week high and far under its $44.51 200-day MA, reminding investors of prior dilution, reverse splits and volatility patterns that can challenge the durability of sharp moves.

Key Terms

ebitda, reverse stock split, warrants, time charter, +1 more
5 terms
ebitda financial
"Net Income of $5.2 million, EBITDA1 of $6.7 million and Earnings per Share"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
reverse stock split regulatory
"On January 26, 2026, we effected a Reverse Stock Split of 1-for-20"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
warrants financial
"Gain on Warrants for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $2.5 million"
Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.
time charter technical
"handysize dry bulk carriers are on time charters of short-term durations"
A time charter is an agreement where a ship owner rents out their vessel to a customer for a set period, during which the customer has control over the ship’s use and operation. This arrangement matters to investors because it provides a steady income stream for the ship owner and indicates ongoing demand for shipping services, reflecting the health of global trade and transportation markets.
spot market technical
"our Aframax tanker operates in the spot market, currently achieving voyage charter rates"
The spot market is where assets—like stocks, commodities, or currencies—are exchanged for immediate delivery and payment at the current market price. It matters to investors because spot prices reflect real-time supply and demand, guide short-term trading decisions, and serve as the baseline for contracts and valuations; think of it as buying an item at the store right now instead of ordering it for later.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results:

  • Voyage revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $10.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million compared to revenues of $9.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the increase in the average TCE rates of our vessels and the decrease in idle days. Total calendar days for our fleet were 368 days for both three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Of the total calendar days in the fourth quarter of 2025, 258, or 70.1% were time charter days, as compared to 252, or 68.5% for the same period in 2024. Our fleet operational utilization was 93.5% and 90.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
  • Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $3.4 million and $2.1 million respectively, compared to $3.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in voyage expenses by $0.3 million is mainly attributable to lower bunker consumption resulting from a decline in bunkers prices. The decrease in vessels’ operating expenses is attributed to the decrease in maintenance expenses. Voyage expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 included bunkers cost and port expenses of $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, corresponding to 50% and 35% of total voyage expenses, since our tanker, the Afrapearl II, operated primarily in the spot market. Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 mainly included crew expenses of $1.3 million, corresponding to 62% of total operating expenses, spares and consumables costs of $0.5 million, corresponding to 24% of total vessel operating expenses, and maintenance expenses of $0.2 million, representing works and repairs on the vessels, corresponding to 10% of total vessel operating expenses.

  • General and Administrative costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.5 million for each period.
  • Interest and finance costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.002 million and $0.3 million, respectively. This decrease is related to the reduced accrued interest expense – related party, in connection with the $53.3 million, part of the acquisition prices of our Aframax tanker, the Afrapearl II - which was completely repaid in July 2024 - and our bulk carrier, the Eco Spitfire, which was completely repaid in April 2025.
  • Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.1 million for each period.
  • Gain (loss) on warrants for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $2.5 million whereas loss on warrants for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $0.8 million.

Twelve months 2025 Results:

  • Voyage revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $34.8 million, a decrease of $7.5 million compared to revenues of $42.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the increased idle days during the year compared to the prior year, as well as the dry docking days of our Aframax tanker in Q3 2025. Total calendar days for our fleet were 1,460 days for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 1,334 days for the same period in 2024. Of the total calendar days in the twelve months of 2025, 953 or 65.3%, were time charter days, as compared to 864 or 64.8% for the same period in 2024.

The decrease in voyage expenses by $1.3 million is mainly attributable to the Afrapearl II, which in the third quarter of 2025 spent extended periods commercially idle in port and in dry dock, during which no voyages were undertaken and bunker consumption and port expenses were therefore significantly lower, as well as to the overall decrease in bunker prices. The increase in vessels’ operating expenses is attributed to the increase in the average number of our vessels. Voyage expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 mainly included bunker costs of $6.4 million, corresponding to 50% of total voyage expenses, and port expenses of $4.9 million, corresponding to 38% of total voyage expenses, since our tanker, the Afrapearl II, operated primarily in the spot market. Operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 mainly included crew expenses of $4.7 million, corresponding to 51% of total operating expenses, spares and consumables costs of $2.1 million, corresponding to 23%, and maintenance expenses of $1.1 million, representing works and repairs on the vessels, corresponding to 12% of total vessel operating expenses.
  • Drydocking costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.9 million and nil, respectively. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, our Aframax tanker underwent drydocking, whereas during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, no vessel underwent drydocking.
  • Depreciation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $6.5 million, a $0.3 million increase from $6.2 million for the same period of last year, due to the increase in the average number of our vessels.
  • Management fees for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.6 million for each period.
  • General and Administrative costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $2.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The $0.6 million decrease is mainly related to the expenses allocated to warrants issued as part of the two public offerings that occurred in 2024 and classified as liabilities, whereas no similar cost occurred in 2025.
  • Interest and finance costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The $2.1 million decrease is related to the reduced accrued interest expense – related party, in connection with the $53.3 million, part of the acquisition prices of our Aframax tanker, the Afrapearl II - which was completely repaid in July 2024 - and our bulk carrier, the Eco Spitfire, which was completely repaid in April 2025.
  • Interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.3 million and $1.0 million respectively. The decrease of $0.7 million is due to the reduction in the amount of time deposits held by the Company during the year, following the settlement of the outstanding balance due on the bulk carrier, the Eco Spitfire.
  • Gain on warrants for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $9.2 million as compared with the loss on warrants of $11.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and related to the net fair value changes on our Class B-1 and B-2 Warrants and Class C-1 and C-2 warrants and were classified as liabilities.
  • Net Income of $10.5 million and related EPS, basic, of $46.50 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Diluted Earnings Per Share were $3.98 for the twelve months of 2025, compared to a Diluted Loss Per Share of $351.58 for the twelve months of 2024.

  • Adjusted EBITDA1 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $8.2 million and $16.4 million, respectively.

  • An average of 4.0 vessels were owned by the Company during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 3.6 vessels for the same period of 2024.

CEO Dr. Diamantis Andriotis commented:

"During the year ended December 2025, our Company delivered strong financial results, reporting a Net Income of $10.5 million - an increase of 481% from 2024, and an EBITDA of $17 million - an increase of 244% from 2024, a result of our fleet expansion strategy and operational efficiency.

"We ended the year with $14.9 million in cash, despite repaying the remaining $15.1 million balance on the Eco Spitfire.

"In August 2025, we successfully completed the dry-docking of our Aframax tanker, the Afrapearl II.

"Our strong liquidity and fully unencumbered fleet further reinforce our balance sheet strength.

"While geopolitical developments and climate-related disruptions continue to create volatility, elevated freight rates, resilient oil demand and shifting trade patterns support a constructive market outlook. Global seaborne trade is expected to grow further, driven by population growth, geopolitics, sanctions and steady biofuel demand, pointing to another firm year in 2026.

"With the announced acquisition of two product tankers, scheduled for delivery between the first and third quarters of 2026, we are positioning the Company for its next phase of growth. These additions will expand our fleet capacity by 387% from inception, enabling us to fully capitalize on the strong market fundamentals ahead."

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:

Adjusted net income represents net income/(loss) before loss/(gain) 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/(gain) on warrants and share based compensation.

Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted net income/(loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EPS are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss) 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/(loss) 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/(loss) 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. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our 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.
