Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. reported solid fourth quarter 2025 results, with total revenue of $183.9 million and GAAP net income of $11.9 million, or $0.19 per share. Adjusted net income was $10.1 million, or $0.16 per share, and adjusted EBITDA reached $28.7 million, up 23% year over year.

The company’s time charter equivalent rate was $17,773 per day, 19% above benchmark Baltic indices, supported by its specialized fleet and long-term contracts.

Insights

Maritime equity analyst

Q4 shows stronger earnings, cash generation and above-market TCE, but full-year profit declined.

Pangaea Logistics delivered Q4 2025 revenue of $183.9 million, with GAAP net income of $11.9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $28.7 million, up 23% year over year. TCE of $17,773 per day exceeded Baltic indices by 19%, highlighting the benefit of long-term contracts and its niche ice-class fleet.

Full-year net income fell to $20.2 million from $31.8 million even as adjusted EBITDA rose to $88.0 million, suggesting higher depreciation, interest and operating costs after fleet expansion. Year-end cash of $103.1 million versus total debt and finance leases of $375.6 million implies moderate leverage and capacity to keep investing while returning capital.

The company maintained a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share and repurchased $1.0 million of stock in Q4, alongside asset-rotation moves such as selling Bulk Freedom and agreeing to sell Bulk Xaymaca for $9.6 million. Management also pointed to new terminal operations in U.S. Gulf ports and a constructive dry bulk outlook, framing 2026 as a period to leverage its integrated shipping-logistics model and fleet renewal strategy.

Fourth quarter TCE rates increased 11% on a year-over-year basis, while total shipping days, which include both voyage and time charter days, increased 26% to 6,025 days.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“We delivered strong fourth quarter results, supported by solid Arctic trade activity, robust utilization across our niche ice class fleet, and the stability of our long term COAs,” said Mads Boye Petersen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions. “As we entered 2026 and completed a smooth leadership transition, I want to thank Mark Filanowski for his many years of leadership and support during the transition. Our results reflect the strength and continuity of Pangaea’s differentiated operating model and expanded fleet, driving TCE rates 19% above the market and meaningfully improving year over year profitability for the quarter”

“Dry bulk fundamentals remain healthy as we enter the seasonally softer first quarter, supported by a constructive market backdrop. We are positioning our fleet to maximize TCE premiums, and thus far in the first quarter of 2026 have executed 5,920 shipping days at an average TCE of $14,917 per day, reflecting a stronger than expected first quarter” Petersen added. “Looking ahead, we continue to see a favorable medium‑term environment, underpinned by constrained vessel supply and positive market sentiment.”

"We remain committed to disciplined, returns‑focused capital allocation, including sustainable return of capital, organic growth investment and ongoing fleet renewal,” continued Petersen. “Most recently, we entered an agreement to sell the Bulk Xaymaca for $9.6 million, with delivery expected in the second quarter of 2026. We also commenced operations in Lake Charles under a multi‑year contract and are advancing strategic investments across our terminal network, with new activities underway at Port Everglades and Tampa operations set to launch in second half of 2026.”

“As we move into 2026, our strategic direction remains unchanged, and we will continue executing the proven operating model that differentiates Pangaea,” concluded Petersen. “With over $100 million in cash at year‑end, we maintain strong liquidity to support balance sheet flexibility, capital returns, and disciplined investment. We remain committed to delivering consistent shareholder returns."

STRATEGIC UPDATE

Pangaea remains committed to developing a leading dry bulk logistics and transportation services company of scale, providing its customers with specialized shipping and supply chain and logistics offerings in commodity and niche markets that drive premium returns measured in time charter equivalent per day.

Leverage integrated shipping and logistics model. Pangaea continues to leverage its integrated shipping and logistics model to deliver value across the supply chain. In addition to operating the world’s largest high ice-class dry bulk fleet of Panamax and post-Panamax vessels, the Company provides stevedoring services and maintains robust port and terminal operations capabilities. The Company is advancing organic growth initiatives to scale its terminal operations business. Key projects include the expansion at the Port of Tampa and the launch of new operations at the Ports of Aransas, Texas; Lake Charles, Louisiana; and Pascagoula, Mississippi. As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, operations have commenced at Pascagoula, Lake Charles and Aransas, while Tampa operations are on track to begin early in the second half of 2026. These investments position Pangaea to capture growing demand for integrated logistics services and reinforce our commitment to long-term growth.

Continue to drive strong fleet utilization. Pangaea delivered strong fleet utilization during the fourth quarter, supported by robust demand across key Arctic trade routes. The Company’s owned fleet of 39 vessels operated at high efficiency, supplemented by an average of 2,439 chartered-in vessels to fulfill cargo and COA commitments. Following the successful integration of the recently acquired handy-size fleet, Pangaea remains focused on optimizing utilization across its expanded platform and enhancing flexibility to meet the evolving needs of its customers.

Continue to upgrade fleet, while divesting older, non-core assets. Pangaea continues to execute its disciplined fleet renewal strategy, selectively investing in modern assets to maximize TCE performance, comply with evolving regulatory standards, and meet customer cargo requirements on demand. During the fourth quarter, the Company completed the sale of the Bulk Freedom for $9.6 million. In February 2026, Pangaea entered into an agreement to sell the Bulk Xaymaca for $9.6 million. Built in 2006, the sale of the Bulk Xaymaca underscores our commitment to maintaining a modern, efficient platform. Delivery to the buyer is expected in the second quarter of 2026.

This is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use non-GAAP financial measures for internal financial and operational decision making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of the performance and results of operations of our core business. Our management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our core business by excluding charges that are not incurred in the normal course of business. Non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal planning and comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity. We believe certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance and operational results of our core business.

Adjusted gross profit. Adjusted gross profit is defined as GAAP gross profit excluding transportation and service depreciation and amortization. Management believes this measure provides investors with additional insight into the operating performance of the Company’s shipping operations by excluding non-cash depreciation expenses associated with the Company’s vessels. Adjusted gross profit is not a measure recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, operating income or net income. The Company’s definition of adjusted gross profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairment, loss on sale and leaseback of vessels, share-based compensation, other non-operating income and/or expense and other non-recurring items, if any. Earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Adjusted earnings per share represents net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. plus, when applicable, loss on sale of vessel, loss on sale and leaseback of vessel, loss on impairment of vessel, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, and certain non-recurring charges, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock.

There are limitations related to the use of net revenue versus income from operations, adjusted EBITDA versus income from operations, and adjusted EPS versus EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP. In particular, Pangaea’s definition of adjusted EBITDA used here are not comparable to EBITDA.

The table set forth above provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented during the period to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
