C3is reports Q1 results: $5.5M adjusted net income
C3is Inc. files a Prospectus Supplement to its Form F-1 to incorporate a Form 6-K and to disclose unaudited Q1 2026 results.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
C3is Inc. files a Prospectus Supplement to its Form F-1 to incorporate a Form 6-K and to disclose unaudited Q1 2026 results. The Company reported $5.5 million of Adjusted Net Income (a 358% year-over-year rise), $6.9 million of Adjusted EBITDA, and revenues of $11.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
The supplement also states 541,088 common shares outstanding as of May 15, 2026, a cash balance of $27 million, no outstanding bank debt, and delivery of one newly acquired product tanker in early Q2 with a second expected in Q3 2026.
Insights
Q1 earnings and TCE indicate improved shipping-market earnings across tankers and dry bulk.
The Company reported a $11.6 million revenue quarter and a Time Charter Equivalent rate of $32,173 per day for Q1 2026, up from $16,202 in Q1 2025, reflecting stronger spot freight rates.
Key dependencies include the timing of the second MR tanker delivery (Q3 2026) and counterparty/route risks cited in the release (geopolitical and charterer performance). Subsequent quarterly filings will show whether elevated spot rates persist.
Non-GAAP measures drive headline gains; users should reconcile to GAAP net income.
The press release emphasizes Adjusted Net Income of $5.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $6.9 million, both non-GAAP measures explained in the supplement and reconciled to GAAP net income of $3.2 million. The gain/(loss) on warrants materially affected GAAP comparatives.
Watch the company’s reconciliations and any future audited adjustments; cash and time-deposit movements are large and linked to vessel acquisitions and financing activity.
