ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 16, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STEALTHGAS INC. (Nasdaq:GASS), a ship-owning company primarily serving the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector of the international shipping industry, announced today its unaudited financial and operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Third Quarter 2011 Results:
- Voyage revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011, amounted to $27.5 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 3.0%, compared to voyage revenues of $26.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
- Voyage and vessels' operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $4.2 million and $8.4 million respectively, compared to $2.8 million and $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of voyage expenses was due primarily to the increased level of fleet operational utilization during the quarter under spot voyage charters. The decrease in operating expenses was due primarily to the lower number of vessels owned during the quarter and the higher number of vessels operating under bareboat charters.
- The net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $6.2 million or $0.30 per share, an increase of $5.2 million, from net income of $1.0 million or $0.05 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
- Included in the third quarter 2011 results are net gains from interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives instruments of $1.1 million as well as gains due to exchange rate movements on foreign currency deposits of $1.5 million. The company also realized a $1.5 million cash loss on interest rate swap arrangements or $0.07 per share. Excluding these items adjusted net income was $2.1 million or $0.10 per share.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $11.0 million. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to Net Income is set forth below.
An average of 36.3 vessels were owned by the Company in the three months ended September 30, 2011, earning an average time-charter equivalent rate of approximately $7,178 per day as compared to 37.7 vessels, earning an average time-charter equivalent rate of $7,040 per day for the same period of 2010.
Nine Months 2011 Results
- Voyage revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, amounted to $89.4 million an increase of $7.0 million, or 8.5%, from voyage revenues of $82.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
- Voyage expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $13.1 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 36.5%, from $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Vessels' operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $28.8 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.7%, from operating expenses of $28.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
- The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $4.1 million or $0.20 per share, a decrease of $2.6 million, from net income of $6.7 million, or $0.31 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
- Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 results are losses incurred on interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives instruments of $2.8 million as well as a loss of $5.7 million on sale of vessels. The company also realized a $4.3 million cash loss on interest rate swap arrangements or $0.21 per share. Excluding these items adjusted net income was $8.2 million or $0.39 per share.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $35.0 million. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to Net Income is set forth below.
An average of 37.8 vessels were owned by the Company in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, earning an average time-charter equivalent rate of approximately $7,550 per day as compared to 38.8 vessels, earning an average time-charter equivalent rate of $7,017 per day for the same period in 2010.
CEO Harry Vafias commented
This quarter, we experienced a softer spot market due to seasonal factors; summer months are typically weaker in terms of LPG trade. But the trend of the last two quarters pointing to a recovery of the LPG market has filtered down to our operating results when comparing to our performance last year. As we enter the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere, we expect to see the market strengthening.
During the quarter, we took delivery of our third 5,000 cubic meters (cbm) newbuilding LPG carrier, the Gas Myth, and with a fleet of 33 LPG carriers we continue to have a leading position in the LPG handysize segment. We now have two more 7,500 cbm vessels to add to our fleet, with scheduled deliveries in January and May 2012, in order to conclude our newbuilding program. We have secured financing for both vessels.
In terms of employment, we concluded two long term charter agreements. The first involving the newbuilding Gas Myth, that has entered into a three year time charter with a European oil company. The second involving an older vessel, the Gas Pasha, that has also entered into a three year time charter with a European gas trader. We believe that interest in long term period charters is a sign of a healthy market. As of today our vessels have secured period employment of about 55% for 2012 and 33% for 2013. We will continue to look for opportunities to enter into long term charter arrangements for our vessels.
Finally, regarding our share repurchase plan, during the third quarter, we made purchases of approximately 550,000 shares. Since the adoption of the plan in 2010, we have repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares.

1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.
2) Total calendar days are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.
3) Total voyage days for fleet reflect the total days the vessels 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 time charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels in our fleet operated on time charters for the relevant period.
6) Total spot market charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels in our fleet 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.
8) Time charter equivalent, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing voyage revenues (net of voyage expenses) by voyage days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract, as well as commissions. TCE is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods.
9) Vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs, is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.
10) Total operating expenses, or TOE, is a measurement of our total expenses associated with operating our vessels. TOE is the sum of vessel operating expenses and general and administrative expenses. Daily TOE is calculated by dividing TOE by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.
Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:
EBITDA represents net income before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before gain/(loss) on sale of assets, gain/(loss) on derivatives excluding swap interest paid and non-cash exchange difference. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are not recognized measurements under US GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in the shipping or other industries.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are included herein because they are a basis upon which we assess our financial performance, assist in comparability of our performance from period to period and provide additional information on fleet operational results. We also use EBITDA to assess our liquidity position and believe it presents useful information to investors regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.
