Performance Shipping (NASDAQ: PSHG) lifts 2025 net income to $50M

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Performance Shipping Inc. reported net income of $7.6M for Q4 2025, down from $9.7M a year earlier, as higher operating, depreciation and finance costs offset revenue growth. Q4 revenue rose to $26.2M from $21.7M, helped by more ownership days after adding the newbuild tankers P. Massport and P. Tokyo.

For full-year 2025, net income increased to $50.0M from $43.7M, with basic EPS of $3.87. Revenue for 2025 was $84.2M, slightly below $87.4M in 2024, while the average TCE rate eased to $31,246 from $32,954. Fleet utilization remained high at 98.6%.

The company highlighted a revenue backlog of about $350M, with fixed charter coverage of roughly 88% for 2026 and 72% for 2027, supported by new Suezmax and LR2 charters. Year-end 2025 cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $49.3M, and long-term debt stood at $222.3M. Management also warned that recent military conflict involving Iran and potential disruption of the Strait of Hormuz could significantly affect tanker shipping; one vessel is currently operating in the Persian Gulf.

Positive

• Stronger profitability and contracted revenue base: Full-year 2025 net income rose to $49.973M from $43.73M, while the company reports a revenue backlog of about $350M with fixed charter coverage of roughly 88% for 2026 and 72% for 2027.

Negative

• Heightened geopolitical and leverage risk: Long-term debt increased to $222.3M from $47.5M, and management flags that recent conflict involving Iran and possible disruption of the Strait of Hormuz could significantly impact tanker operations, with one vessel currently in the Persian Gulf.

Insights

Shipping equity analyst

Stronger 2025 earnings with big backlog, but rising geopolitical and leverage risks.

Performance Shipping grew full-year net income to $49.973M from $43.73M despite slightly lower revenue. Profitability benefited from a gain on a vessel sale and sustained high utilization, while average TCE softened only modestly to $31,246.

The company is leaning into a fleet renewal and growth strategy, adding modern Aframax and Suezmax vessels on multi‑year charters at daily rates of $31,000 and $36,500. This underpins a revenue backlog of about $350M with 88% coverage for 2026 and 72% for 2027, but has driven long‑term debt up to $222.3M from $47.5M.

Management emphasizes a strong cash position of $49.3M at year‑end 2025, projected to rise to roughly $135M after a bond tap and an expected vessel sale. However, the supplemental discussion of strikes involving Iran, potential disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, and one vessel operating in the Persian Gulf underscores elevated operational and route‑disruption risk for 2026 and beyond.

PERFORMANCE SHIPPING INC. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER

AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

ATHENS, GREECE, March 4, 2026 – Performance Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ: PSHG) (“we” or the “Company”), a global shipping company specializing in the ownership of tanker vessels, today reported net income of $7.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net income of $9.7 million for the same period in 2024. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $0.57 and $0.19, respectively.

Revenue was $26.2 million ($24.6 million net of voyage expenses) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $21.7 million ($19.8 million net of voyage expenses) for the same period in 2024. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in ownership days following the delivery of the newbuilding vessels P. Massport and P. Tokyo in July and September 2025, respectively. Fleetwide, the average TCE rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $32,221, compared with an average rate of $32,652 for the same period in 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.7 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $12.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $50.0 million, compared to a net income of $43.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $3.87 and $1.28, respectively, while earnings per common share, basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $3.39 and $1.11, respectively.

Commenting on the results of the fourth quarter of 2025, Andreas Michalopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:

“Fiscal year 2025 represented another solid year for our Company. We generated revenues of $84.2 million, with a daily time charter equivalent (TCE) rate of $31,246, modestly below the strong results of 2024, when revenues reached $87.4 million and the TCE rate was $32,954. We nevertheless continued to deliver robust profitability, with net income rising to $50.0 million, supported in part by a gain from a vessel sale. These results demonstrate the strength of our operations and our ability to pursue opportunities in a profitable tanker market.

1

“Looking ahead, we believe 2026 is expected to be another firm year for the tanker market, supported by solid growth in seaborne trade of oil and refined petroleum products, increased exports from the Middle East and Latin America, firm Chinese demand, and continued trade sanctions. These market dynamics are expected to be sufficiently strong to absorb moderate fleet growth. As of the beginning of the year, we had a robust revenue backlog of approximately $350 million, with fixed charter coverage of approximately 88% for 2026 and 72% for 2027, providing significant cash flow visibility. Given the favorable charter rate environment, we are confident that the three vessels becoming available for employment later this year will secure attractive charter arrangements.

“At the same time, we continue to execute our fleet renewal and expansion strategy, enhancing both the commercial competitiveness and operational efficiency of our fleet. The delivery of our two 2019-built Suezmax tankers in December 2025, both operating under three-year charters at $36,500 per day, along with the delivery of our third LR2 Aframax newbuilding in January 2026 currently operating under a five-year charter at $31,000 per day, represent significant milestones for our strategy. Pro forma these additions and the opportunistic sale of our oldest vessel, M/T P. Sophia in mid-2026, our average fleet age will decline to nine years. The construction of our first LR1, expected to be delivered in early 2027, will further enhance our fleet quality. In addition, our recently signed shipbuilding contracts with China Shipbuilding Trading Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. for two 158,000 DWT Suezmax tankers will expand our presence in the Suezmax segment which we believe benefits from constructive medium and long-term market fundamentals, further supporting our long-term growth.

“Our balance sheet remains strong, supported by $49.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of year-end 2025. Following the successful completion of our bond tap issue in January 2026 and pro forma the expected gross proceeds from the M/T P. Sophia sale, our cash position is projected to increase to approximately $135 million. We remain committed to executing our fleet expansion strategy, while continuing to maintain prudent capital allocation and disciplined leverage management.”

Update on Recent Developments

During the fourth quarter of 2025 and through March 3, 2026, the Company achieved several key milestones:

• Acquired two 2019-built, modern eco-design Suezmax tankers, M/T P. Beverly Hills and M/T P. Bel Air, for $75.4 million each, net of brokerage commissions. Upon delivery in December 2025, both vessels commenced three-year time-charter contracts with Repsol Trading SA at $36,500 per day per vessel.

• Entered into a two-year time-charter contract with SeaRiver Maritime, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil Corporation, for the M/T P. Long Beach at $30,500 per day.

• Completed a $50 million tap issuance, priced at 103% of par value, under the Company’s 9.875% Nordic bonds due July 2029.

• Took delivery of the third newbuild LR2 Aframax tanker, M/T P. Marseille, in January 2026. Upon delivery, the vessel commenced its five-year time-charter contract with Clearlake Shipping Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Gunvor Group, at a rate of $31,000 per day.

• Secured a three-year time-charter contract for M/T P. Monterey with PBF Holding Company LLC, a subsidiary of PBF Energy Inc., at $31,000 per day.

• Entered into an agreement to sell the oldest vessel in the fleet, M/T P. Sophia, for $35.65 million, with delivery expected in mid-2026.

• Entered into two shipbuilding contracts with China Shipbuilding Trading Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. for the construction of two 158,000 DWT newbuilding Suezmax tanker vessels. The vessels are expected to be delivered in October 2028 and May 2029, respectively, at a contract price of $81.5 million per vessel.

Tanker Market Update for the Fourth Quarter of 2025:

• Tanker fleet supply was 709.92 million dwt, up 0.4% from 707.3 million dwt from the previous quarter and up 2.1% from Q4 2024 levels of 695.3 million dwt.

• Tanker demand has entered 2026 on firm footing, supported by elevated export volumes following increased oil production, strong Middle East and Latin America exports, resilient Chinese import demand, and shifting Venezuelan flows. In parallel, mainstream tonnage has been increasingly utilized, while ongoing geopolitical uncertainty further underpins demand conditions. As a result, in 2026 and 2027, seaborne oil trade in tonne-miles is expected to grow by approximately 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively.

• Tanker fleet supply in deadweight terms is estimated to grow by 4.2% in 2026 and by 5.5% in 2027.

• Newbuilding tanker contracting was 22.2 million dwt in the fourth quarter, resulting in a tanker orderbook-to-fleet ratio of 17.8%.

• Daily spot charter rates for Aframax tankers averaged $61,382, up 61.1% from the previous quarter average of $38,107 and up 58.4% from Q4 2024 average of $38,746.

• The value of a 10-year-old Aframax tanker at the end of the fourth quarter was $55.0 million, up 10.0% from $50.0 million in the previous quarter, and up 5.8% from $52.0 million in Q4 2024.

• Daily spot charter rates for Suezmax tankers averaged $77,370, up 50.6% from the previous quarter average of $51,385 and up 80.1% from Q4 2024 average of $42,948.

• The value of a 10-year-old Suezmax tanker at the end of the fourth quarter was $64.0 million, up 4.9% from $61.0 million in the previous quarter, and up 6.7% from $60.0 million in Q4 2024.

• The number of tankers used for floating storage (excluding dedicated storage) stood at 119 (14.4 million dwt) in the fourth quarter, down 4.8% from 125 (14.4 million dwt) at the end of the previous quarter and up 56.6% from 76 (10.1 million dwt) in Q4 2024.

• Global oil consumption was 104.3 million bpd, down 0.1% from the previous quarter level of 104.5 million bpd, and up 1.0% from Q4 2024 levels of 103.2 million bpd.

• Global oil production was 108.3 million bpd, up 0.3% from the previous quarter level of 108.0 million bpd and up 4.2% from Q4 2024 levels of 103.9 million bpd.

• OECD commercial inventories were 2,883 million barrels, up 0.9% from the previous quarter level of 2,858 million barrels, and up 5.1% from Q4 2024 levels of 2,743 million barrels.

The above market outlook update is based on information, data, and estimates derived from industry sources. There can be no assurances that such trends will continue or that anticipated developments in tanker demand, fleet supply or other market indicators will materialize. While we believe the market and industry information included in this release to be generally reliable, we have not independently verified any third-party information or verified that more recent information is not available.

Supplemental Information

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, killing Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei. In retaliation, Iranian missiles and drones targeted Israel and a number of countries that host US military bases—including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia—and Hezbollah fired projectiles at Israel. While there is significant uncertainty about the duration of the war in Iran, the White House has stated that it may be a protracted engagement. These events have destabilized the region and may lead to significant disruptions across all sectors of the shipping industry. Further, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway essential to the shipment of crude oil and refined petroleum, may experience prolonged disruption. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned vessels to avoid the passage. Increased electronic interference may affect navigational and tracking systems, which would heighten the risk of vessel collisions. One of our vessels, the M/T P. Aliki, chartered to Pakistan National Shipping Corporation, is currently operating within the Persian Gulf. Although it is impossible to predict exactly how this conflict will affect the tanker industry, it is very likely that a prolonged war will have significant impacts across the sector.

(1) Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire. The specific calculation counts as on-hire the days of the ballast leg of the spot voyages, as long as a charter party is in place. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

(2) Time charter equivalent rates, or TCE rates, are defined as revenue (voyage, time charter and pool revenue), less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel) expenses, canal charges and commissions. TCE is a non-GAAP measure. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage (spot) charters, time charters and bareboat charters).

(3) Daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance and vessel registry, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the costs of spares and consumable stores, lubricant costs, tonnage taxes, regulatory fees, environmental costs, lay-up expenses and other miscellaneous expenses, are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant period.
