| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 20 | Earnings date notice | Neutral | -0.1% | Announced timing and access details for Q4 2025 results call. |

Operationally positive news often saw modest positive moves, but one strong earnings/dividend release was followed by a notable selloff, indicating occasional divergence between fundamentals and price.
Over the past few months, Euroseas has consistently reported strong results and chartering progress. The Q3 2025 release on Nov 18, 2025 showed robust earnings and a $0.70 dividend, plus multi‑year forward charters, yet the stock fell 9.41%. Earlier, new 3‑year feeder charters and the EM Spetses extension supported visibility into 2028 with small positive price reactions. Today’s full‑year 2025 results and higher dividend continue this theme of solid profitability and expanding contracted revenue.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement details a very profitable Q4 2025 and full year 2025, with net income of $40.5M for the quarter and $137.0M for the year, plus Adjusted EBITDA of $155.9M.

Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas commented:
“We are pleased to report a very profitable fourth quarter with our earnings per share for the quarter being one of the highest ever. During the fourth quarter of 2025 and in January and February 2026 to date, containership charter rates maintain their high levels for one more time. Container freight rates were a bit more volatile reflecting mostly seasonal trends. The strength of the charter market is evidenced by our most recent fixture for our M/V EM Spetses, a 19-year old, 1700 teu containership, that we announced recently.
“Our entire fleet is chartered at very profitable rates with our charter coverage for 2026 being about
“Against this positive and quite protected situation for Euroseas, the overall containership market has to deal with a couple of challenges, mainly, the absorption of the high orderbook in the large containership segments and the eventual resumption of traffic through the Suez Canal which would reduce the demand for tonnage given the shorter distances required to travel. However, we would like to note that there is a stark difference between large containerships and the segments we operate, feeders and intermediate size vessels, as the latter not only face much lower orderbook levels but also have a large percentage of vessels over 20 years of age. Thus, we believe that it is very likely for the supply of feeders and intermediate containerships to contract, benefiting owners of modern vessels like us. Needless to say, the geo-political, economic and trade-related factors, like the renewed focus on US tariffs imposed, influence the volume of containerized trade and, consequently, demand for vessels, adding to the overall uncertainty in the markets.
“Nevertheless, given our strong balance sheet, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of any developments in the markets, and we continuously evaluate and pursue accretive investment opportunities in both the secondhand and newbuilding sectors. At the same time, our balance sheet and contracted revenues backlog provide us with sufficient comfort to increase the rewards to our shareholders by increasing our dividend by
Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of Euroseas, commented: “Our net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 are increased by approximately

(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted the Company’s fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of calendar days each vessel was a part of the Company’s fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.
(2) Calendar days. We define calendar days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up, or vessels that were committed for sale or suffered unrepaired damages. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during that period.
(3) The scheduled off-hire days including vessels laid-up, vessels committed for sale or vessels that suffered unrepaired damages, are days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up, or vessels that were committed for sale or suffered unrepaired damages.
(4) Available days. We define available days as the Calendar days in a period net of scheduled off-hire days as defined above. We use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels were available to generate revenues.
(5) Commercial off-hire days. We define commercial off-hire days as days a vessel is idle without employment.
(6) Operational off-hire days. We define operational off-hire days as days associated with unscheduled repairs or other off-hire time related to the operation of the vessels.
(7) Voyage days. We define voyage days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession net of commercial and operational off-hire days. We use voyage days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues or are sailing for repositioning purposes.
(8) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our voyage days during a period by the number of our available days during that period. We use fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons such as unscheduled repairs or days waiting to find employment.
(9) Fleet utilization, commercial. We calculate commercial fleet utilization by dividing our available days net of commercial off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.
(10) Fleet utilization, operational. We calculate operational fleet utilization by dividing our available days net of operational off-hire days during a period by our available days during that period.
(11) Average time charter equivalent rate, or average TCE, is a measure of the average daily net revenue performance of our vessels. Our method of calculating average TCE is determined by dividing time charter revenue and voyage charter revenue, if any, net of voyage expenses by voyage days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract, or are related to repositioning the vessel for the next charter or are paid by the Company under a voyage charter contract. Average TCE, which is a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with time charter revenue and voyage charter revenue (if any), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because we believe that it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. Average TCE is 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 voyage charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Our definition of average TCE may not be comparable to that used by other companies in the shipping industry.
(12) We calculate daily vessel operating expenses, which includes crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs and related party management fees by dividing vessel operating expenses and related party management fees by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. Drydocking expenses are reported separately.
(13) Daily general and administrative expenses are calculated by us by dividing general and administrative expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.
(14) Total vessel operating expenses, or TVOE, is a measure of our total expenses associated with operating our vessels. We compute TVOE as the sum of vessel operating expenses, related party management fees and general and administrative expenses; drydocking expenses are not included. Daily TVOE is calculated by dividing TVOE by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.
(15) Daily drydocking expenses are calculated by us by dividing drydocking expenses by the fleet calendar days for the relevant period. Drydocking expenses include expenses during drydockings that would have been capitalized and amortized under the deferral method. Drydocking expenses could vary substantially from period to period depending on how many vessels underwent drydocking during the period. The Company expenses drydocking expenses as incurred.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation:
Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net income before interest and other financing costs, income taxes, vessel depreciation, impairment loss, (gain) / loss on interest rate swap derivative, net, gain on sale of vessels, and amortization of fair value of below market time charters acquired. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its financial performance and liquidity position and because the Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of financial costs, (gain) / loss on interest rate swap, gain on sale of vessels, vessel depreciation and amortization of below market time charters acquired. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share Reconciliation:
Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted net income to represent net income before unrealized (gain) / loss on derivative, gain on sale of vessels, amortization of below market time charters acquired, impairment loss and vessel depreciation on the portion of the consideration of vessels acquired with attached time charters allocated to below market time charters. Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share are included herein because we believe they assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of the Company's fundamental performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of the aforementioned items, which may significantly affect results of operations between periods.
Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or earnings per share, as determined by GAAP. The Company's definition of Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries. Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share are not adjusted for all noncash income and expense items that are reflected in our statement of cash flows.
