Heidmar (NASDAQ: HMR) doubles 2025 revenue but swings to sizable net loss
Heidmar Maritime Holdings reported strong revenue growth but weaker earnings for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. Fourth quarter revenues rose to $25.1 million from $5.3 million a year earlier, driven by more vessels on short-term spot and time charters, including the PSV ACE Supplier, with eight vessels active versus one in the prior-year quarter.
Despite higher revenues, the company posted a fourth quarter net loss from continuing operations of $4.0 million, or $0.07 per share, as operating lease, charter-in and general and administrative expenses increased. For full year 2025, total revenues nearly doubled to $55.9 million from $28.9 million, while net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders was $8.6 million, or $0.15 per share.
Non‑cash items weighed on results: stock-based compensation reached $5.0 million in 2025 and there was a $3.9 million non‑cash expense for earnout shares. Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was slightly positive at $51 thousand, and adjusted net income from continuing operations was $0.2 million. Management highlighted a managed fleet of about 40 vessels, ongoing fleet additions, and CEO Pankaj Khanna increasing his ownership to approximately 45% of outstanding shares.
Positive
- Total revenues nearly doubled to $55.9 million in 2025 from $28.9 million in 2024, driven by an expanded chartered fleet and contributions from the PSV ACE Supplier.
- Adjusted profitability metrics remained slightly positive, with 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $51 thousand and adjusted net income from continuing operations of $0.2 million despite heavy non‑cash charges.
- CEO insider ownership increased to approximately 45% of outstanding shares through open‑market purchases, signaling strong alignment between management and shareholders.
Negative
- Profitability deteriorated sharply: 2025 net loss from continuing operations was $8.6 million versus a $1.9 million profit in 2024, and total net loss reached $22.6 million including discontinued operations.
- Operating costs and public-company expenses rose materially, with general and administrative expenses increasing to $18.5 million in 2025 from $12.9 million, pressuring margins despite revenue growth.
- Stockholders’ equity declined to $10.7 million at December 31, 2025 from $18.2 million a year earlier, as higher liabilities and losses offset the expansion in total assets.
Insights
Revenue nearly doubled in 2025, but profitability and equity weakened.
Heidmar delivered strong top-line expansion, with 2025 revenues of $55.9 million versus $28.9 million in 2024, driven by a larger chartered fleet and PSV ACE Supplier contributions. However, higher voyage, charter-in and public-company costs eroded margins.
Net loss from continuing operations widened to $8.6 million from a $1.9 million profit, and total net loss reached $22.6 million including discontinued operations. Stock-based compensation of $5.0 million and $3.9 million of earnout fair-value expense turned GAAP results negative, though 2025 Adjusted EBITDA was modestly positive at $51 thousand.
The balance sheet expanded to total assets of $71.2 million, but stockholders’ equity fell to $10.7 million from $18.2 million, reflecting accumulated losses and higher liabilities of $60.5 million. Management emphasizes fleet growth, a roughly 45% insider stake by the CEO, and exposure to elevated tanker freight markets, while acknowledging geopolitical risk in Middle East shipping lanes.

As we look back at events of the fourth quarter of 2025, my thoughts are with the seafarers onboard our own managed ships and those who are either stuck inside the Middle East Gulf or are looking at transiting through war zones. The situation at sea in the Gulf is critical and seems to have no near-term resolution. My thoughts are also with colleagues, customers and friends in the Middle East who must live with constant threat of projectiles that could lead to severe consequences, including injury and loss of life.
The reality of the situation on the ground is that the world has lost 20% of its oil supplies and more critically tanker shipping has lost just over 20.0 million barrels per day of crude oil and petroleum products that moved by sea. This represents approximately 30% of overall oil flows and much of this volume is irreplaceable. While some of the flows have been replaced by pipeline diversions across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea, to Ceyhan and also some flows from the UAE that do not now require the Straits transit, this is a fraction of what was coming through the Straits of Hormuz on a daily basis. The industry hopes that this situation will be resolved in the near term leading to resumption of normalized demand in the near future.
Currently the freight rates for crude tankers that can find cargoes in the Middle East and in other areas have sky rocketed and remain at historical high levels. With our managed fleet of 40 vessels we are in the thick of this and assisting our customers with moving oil as expeditiously as possible.
Against this backdrop, Heidmar’s integrated service offerings is attractive for shipowners and is starting to show its potential. We have added several vessels in Q4 2025 and through Q1 2026 and expect further additions of mainly newbuildings from our partners this year and through the next 2 years.
Further reinforcing this confidence, I increased my personal investment in the company through open market purchases during the period, bringing my total ownership to approximately 45% of the Company’s outstanding shares and aligning my interests closely with those of our shareholders. The Company has also strengthened its governance with the appointment of industry veteran Jagmeet Makkar as an independent director, bringing extensive operational, commercial, and risk management experience to the Board. On March 16, 2026 we announced the resignation of Niovi Iasemidi from the Board as she assumes an important role. We wish her the best in the new endeavour and look forward to collaborating with her for the success of both companies.
