Recent Company History

Over the last year, STEALTHGAS has reported a series of strong earnings, highlighted by record 2024 net income of $69.9M and robust quarterly profits through 2025. The company consistently emphasized debt reduction, cash build-up, and high contracted coverage of fleet days. Earlier 2025 earnings showed rising revenues but some moderation in net income versus 2024 records. Today’s full-year 2025 update, with solid profitability but slightly lower earnings than 2024, fits this narrative of high, but normalizing, performance after a record year.

Key Terms

ebitda, adjusted ebitda, adjusted net income, adjusted eps, +3 more
7 terms
ebitda financial
"EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $17.3 million."
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.
adjusted ebitda financial
"Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income are set forth below."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
adjusted net income financial
"Adjusted net income, was $13.3 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS of $0.36..."
Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.
adjusted eps financial
"Adjusted net income, was $13.3 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS of $0.36..."
Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted eps) is a measure of a company's profit per share that has been modified to exclude certain one-time or unusual items, such as costs from restructuring or asset sales. It provides a clearer picture of the company’s core performance by removing events that may distort the usual earnings. Investors use adjusted eps to better understand a company's ongoing profitability and compare it more accurately over time.
non-gaap financial
"EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
time charter technical
"A three year time charter extension for its 2014 built LPG carrier Eco Corsair..."
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
"increase in bunkers costs and port expenses as a result of the increase in spot market days..."
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.

ATHENS, Greece, March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STEALTHGAS INC. (NASDAQ: GASS), a ship-owning company serving the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector of the international shipping industry, announced today its unaudited financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • In 2025 the Company maintained its high profitability reporting Net Income of $60.6 million and EPS of $1.64.

  • Repaid all debt obligations in our fully owned fleet, making $85.9 million in debt repayments during the twelve months of 2025 and $350 million since December 2022. Currently, all the vessels in the fully owned fleet are unencumbered.

  • The Company further strengthened its liquidity with cash and cash equivalents of $99.1 million as of December 31, 2025.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results1:

  • Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $39.4 million compared to revenues of $43.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, based on an average of 28.4 vessels and 27.6 vessels owned by the Company, respectively. The decrease in revenue is mainly attributable to the loss of revenue from our vessel Eco Wizard due to the incident that occurred in July 2025 and rendered it inoperable, which was mitigated by the increase in the number of vessels in our fleet.
  • Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, were $5.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively, compared to $3.2 million and $13.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $2.7 million increase in voyage expenses was mainly due to an increase in bunkers costs and port expenses as a result of the increase in spot market days for the fleet.
  • General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $2.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The change is mainly attributed to the decrease in stock-based compensation expense.
  • Depreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was $5.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The $1.2 million decrease is mainly related to the two vessels that had been classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025, whereas no vessels were classified as held for sale during the same period last year.
  • Gain on sale of vessels for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $0.7 million compared to nil for the same period last year. The gain is attributed to the sale of one vessel during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
  • Interest and finance costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $0.01 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The $1.39 million decrease from the same period of last year is primarily due to continued debt prepayments.
  • Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The decrease of $0.2 million is mainly attributed to the decrease in rates of time deposits.
  • Equity earnings in joint ventures for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was a gain of $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The $0.6 million increase was primarily due to higher revenues due to better market conditions.
  • As a result of the above, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported net income of $12.8 million, compared to net income of $14.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The weighted average number of shares outstanding, basic, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 36.1 million and 35.3 million, respectively.
  • Earnings per share, basic, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $0.34 compared to earnings per share, basic, of $0.38 for the same period of last year.
  • Adjusted net income, was $13.3 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS of $0.36 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to Adjusted net income of $16.4 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS of $0.44 for the same period of last year.
  • EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $17.3 million. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income are set forth below.
  • An average of 28.4 vessels were owned by the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 27.6 vessels for the same period of 2024.

The increase in revenue is attributable to the increased number of vessels in our fleet and improved market conditions, despite the loss of revenue from our vessel Eco Wizard.
  • Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, were $22.5 million and $53.9 million, respectively, compared to $11.7 million and $49.8 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The $10.8 million increase in voyage expenses was mainly due to an increase in port expenses and in bunkers costs as a result of the increase in spot market days for the fleet. The $4.1 million increase in vessels’ operating expenses was mainly due to increase in crew, maintenance repairs and spares expenses partly in conjunction with the higher number of vessels in the fleet.
  • Drydocking costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $3.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Drydocking expenses for twelve months ended December 31, 2025 mainly relate to the completion of four vessels’ drydocking, compared to the same period of last year which included the completion of seven vessel’s drydocking.

  • Impairment loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was $0.5 million and nil, respectively. As a result of the agreed sale terms for the vessels Gas Cerberus, which was delivered in June 2025, a non-cash impairment loss of $0.5 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Gain on sale of vessels for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, was $0.5 million compared to gain of $0.05 million for the same period last year. The gain is attributed to the sale of two vessels during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the gain from the sale of two vessels during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, which had been classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023.
  • Interest and finance costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $2.2 million and $9.1 million, respectively. The $6.9 million decrease from the same period of last year is primarily due to continued debt prepayments.

Fleet Update Since Previous Announcement

The Company announced the conclusion of the following chartering arrangements (of three or more months duration):  

  • A three year time charter extension for its 2014 built LPG carrier Eco Corsair, until Feb 2029.
  • A four months time charter for its 2017 built LPG carrier Eco Frost, until Mar 2026.
  • A three months time charter extension for its 2008 built LPG carrier Gas Defiance, until Mar 2026.
  • A three months time charter for its 2015 built LPG carrier Eco Lucidity, until Mar 2026.
  • A three months time charter extension for its 2018 built LPG carrier Eco Arctic, until Apr 2026.

As of March 2026, the Company has total contracted revenues of approximately $104 million (excluding the JV vessel). For the remainder of 2026 the Company has circa 48% of fleet days secured under period contracts and contracted revenues of approximately $66 million (excluding the JV vessel).

The previously announced sale of the vessel Eco Invictus is expected to be concluded within the first quarter of 2026. In addition, in December 2025, the Company entered into a new agreement with a third party for the sale of the 2015-built vessel Eco Universe with expected delivery in April 2025. Both vessels under sale are debt free with the gross proceeds from these sales of circa $29 million further strengthening the cash position.

The vessel Eco Wizard is currently at a port in Latvia where further assessments are being conducted following damage caused during the July incident. The Company anticipates to be indemnified for the loss of the vessel in accordance with the insured value and applicable war risk coverage, subject to final adjustment and agreement with underwriters.

CEO Harry Vafias Commented

StealthGas generated $60.6 million in profits for the whole of 2025, a very successful year, the fourth in a row, of strong profitability and $12.7 million for the fourth quarter despite having one of our most profitable vessels out of action since July 2025. It was to put it mildly a turbulent year for the markets as we had anticipated. Trade in LPG over this period continued to grow with its ups and downs, showing resilience in the face of geopolitical tensions, driven primarily by US exports while medium-term fundamentals remain robust. In line with our strategic objectives during 2025 the Company became debt-free after having paid down $350 million in debt obligations over the last 3 years, ending the year with $99 million cash and currently having $110 million cash. In December the Company entered into another agreement to sell one smaller vessel in the fleet as we are looking to take advantage of firm prices to divest some of the older assets and eventually modernize and move the fleet into larger sized vessels as the opportunities arise.

3) Total voyage days for fleet reflect the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period net of off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
4) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.
5) Total charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on time or bareboat charters for the relevant period.
6) Total spot market charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on spot market charters for the relevant period.
7) Fleet operational utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels generated revenue, and is determined by dividing voyage days excluding commercially idle days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.

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

Adjusted net income represents net income before loss/gain on derivatives excluding swap interest paid/received, impairment loss, net gain/loss on sale of vessels and share based compensation. EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, impairment loss, net gain/loss on sale of vessels, share based compensation and loss/gain on derivatives.

Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of shares.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income 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.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income 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 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.
