total net revenues of $14.8 million. Excluding the effect of unrealized
loss on derivatives, unrealized gain on trading securities and amortization
of the fair value of charters acquired, the net income for the period would
have been $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share basic and diluted.
-- Adjusted EBITDA was $5.8 million. Please refer to a subsequent section
of the Press Release for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income.
-- An average of 16 vessels were owned and operated during the second
quarter of 2009 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $13,062
per day.
-- Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share for the second
quarter of 2009 payable on September 4, 2009 to shareholders of record on
August 27, 2009. This is the sixteenth consecutive quarterly dividend
declared.
First Half 2009 Highlights:
-- Net loss of $1.5 million or $0.05 loss per share basic and diluted on
total net revenues of $30.2 million. Excluding the effect of unrealized
loss on derivatives, unrealized gain on trading securities and amortization
of the fair value of charters acquired, the net income for the period would
have been $2.4 million, or $0.08 per share basic and diluted.
-- Adjusted EBITDA was $12.0 million. Please refer to a subsequent
section of the Press Release for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net
income.
-- An average of 15.85 vessels were owned and operated during the first
half of 2009, earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $12,875
per day.
-- Declared two quarterly dividends for a total of $0.20 per share during
the first half of 2009.
Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas, commented: "The first half
of 2009 presented us with a mix of opportunities and challenges: it has
proven to be a very difficult chartering environment for our container
fleet, but, at the same time, it gave us the opportunity to expand and
renew our bulker fleet by purchasing three younger panamax bulkers at
attractive prices. We continue evaluating further investment opportunities
in drybulk vessels and containerships as we see unique opportunities
potentially emerging in both subsectors.
"As we have stated before, we expect to face a difficult and volatile
market environment well into 2010. Thus, we have covered 100% of our
drybulk fleet for 2009 and 75% for 2010 via either time charter contracts
or Freight Forward Agreement ("FFA") contracts. Our containership coverage
is currently 57% for the remaining of 2009 and 22% for 2010. We have
started seeing some signs that the container market as well may have passed
its trough, especially, in the case of containerships below 2,000 teu, like
ours. The number of smaller containerships being laid up has decreased and
there is more enquiry for such ships than for larger vessels, most likely
due to a better balance between supply and demand: the fleet supply side
reflects a significantly lower orderbook and more scrapping due to the
older age profile, and, the demand side reflects a relative increased
activity as shipment sizes tend to reduce in periods of austerity, thus
favoring smaller vessels, and intra-regional trade is faring better
compared to trade across the oceans.
"Our Board reconfirmed its intention to continue paying healthy dividends
to our shareholders throughout the market cycle without compromising our
expansion program. In that respect, we have maintained our quarterly
dividend at $0.10 per share which represents a yield of about 7.6% on the
basis of our stock price on July 31, 2009."
Tasos Aslidis, Chief Financial Officer of Euroseas, commented: "The results
of the second quarter of 2009 reflect the lower level of the charter
markets compared to the same period a year ago. Our results were
negatively influenced by non-cash losses mainly on FFA contracts despite
some non-cash gains on interest rate swaps.
"Total daily vessel operating expenses, including management fees and
general and administrative expenses, during the second quarter of 2009
reflect a decreased by about 19% on a per vessel per day basis compared to
the second quarter of 2008. Part of this decrease (about 8%) is due to the
fact that three of our vessels were laid-up during the second quarter of
2009 and, thus, incurred significantly lower daily costs, but, a
significant part (about 11%) is associated with the success of our
manager's cost reduction and optimization plan launched in mid-2008. Cost
control remains a key component of our strategy.
"As of June 30, 2009, our net debt position was close to zero with our
outstanding debt at $69.5 million versus restricted and unrestricted cash
of about $68.4 million. As of the same date, our scheduled debt repayments
over the next 12 months amounted to about $12.3 million a number low enough
to provide us with significant operational cash flow comfort. I would like
to repeat that we continue to enjoy our bankers' support and have been able
to finance all three of our vessel purchases this year with about 50% debt
as further evidenced by the $13 million loan we about to conclude to partly
finance M/V 'Pantelis,' a vessel that we purchased last month."
Second Quarter 2009 Results:
For the second quarter of 2009, the Company reported total net revenues of
$14.8 million representing a 56.9% decrease over total net revenues of
$34.5 million during the second quarter of 2008. The Company reported a net
loss for the period of $5.4 million as compared to net income of $15.6
million for the second quarter of 2008. The results for the second quarter
of 2009 include a $6.3 million net unrealized loss on derivatives and
trading securities as compared to $0.2 million unrealized gain on trading
securities for the same period of 2008. Depreciation expenses for the
second quarter of 2009 were $4.8 million compared to $7.5 million during
the same period of 2008. The decline was due to a change in estimates (see
below) and the sale of M/V Nikolaos P and M/V Ioanna P, which contributed
$2.0 million to the depreciation expenses in the second quarter of 2008,
partly balanced by the depreciation of two vessels purchased in 2009. On
average, 16 vessels were owned and operated during the second quarter of
2009 earning an average time charter equivalent rate of $13,062 per day
compared to 15.44 vessels in the same period of 2008 earning on average
$25,918 per day. Three of the Company's containerships were laid-up
throughout the second quarter of 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2009 was $5.8 million, a 71.9%
decrease from $20.7 million achieved during the second quarter of 2008.
Please see below for Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to net income and cash
flow provided by operating activities.
Basic and diluted loss per share for the second quarter of 2009 was $0.18,
calculated on 30,575,611 weighted average number of shares outstanding,
compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.51 for the second
quarter of 2008, calculated on 30,428,810 and 30,554,537 weighted average
number of shares outstanding, respectively.
Excluding the effect on the earnings for the quarter of the unrealized loss
on derivatives, unrealized gain on trading securities and amortization of
the fair value of time charter contracts acquired, the earnings per share
for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 would have been $0.02 per share basic
and diluted, and, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 would have been $0.43
per share basic and diluted. Usually, security analysts do not include the
above items in their published estimates of earnings per share.
First Half 2009 Results:
For the first half of 2009, the Company reported total net revenues of
$30.2 million representing a 55.2% decrease over total net revenues of
$67.3 million during the first half of 2008. The Company reported a net
loss for the period of $1.5 million as compared to net income of $29.3
million for the first half of 2008. The results for the first half of 2009
include a $4.5 million net unrealized loss on derivatives and trading
securities as compared to $0.2 million unrealized gain on trading
securities for the same period of 2008. Depreciation expenses for the first
half of 2009 were $9.3 million compared to $14.8 million during the same
period of 2008. The decline was due to a change in estimates (see below)
and the sale of M/V Nikolaos P and M/V Ioanna P, which contributed $4.0
million to the depreciation expenses in the first half of 2008, partly
balanced by the depreciation of two of the vessels purchased in 2009 that
contributed to the depreciation expense for the first half. On average,
15.85 vessels were owned and operated during the first half of 2009 earning
an average time charter equivalent rate of $12,875 per day compared to
15.22 vessels in the same period of 2008 earning on average $25,824 per
day. One of the Company's vessels was laid up during the entire first half
of 2009 and two more vessels for the second quarter of 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2009 was $12.0 million, a 69.6%
decrease from $39.4 million achieved during the first half of 2008. Please
see below for Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to net income and cash flow
provided by operating activities.
Basic and diluted loss per share for the first half of 2009 was $0.05,
calculated on 30,575,611 weighted average number of shares outstanding,
compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.96 basic and diluted
per share for the first half of 2008, calculated on 30,375,182 and
30,501,654 weighted average number of shares outstanding, respectively.
Excluding the effect on the earnings for the first half of 2009 of the
unrealized loss on derivatives, unrealized gain on trading securities and
amortization of the fair value of time charter contracts acquired, the
earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 would have
been $0.08 per share basic and diluted, and, for the same period in 2008
would have been $0.81 per share basic and diluted. Usually, security
analysts do not include the above items in their published estimates of
earnings per share.
Change in accounting principle and change in estimates:
Beginning with the first quarter of 2009, the Company changed its
accounting policy of drydocking costs from the deferral method, under which
the Company amortized drydocking costs over the estimated period of benefit
between drydockings, to the direct expense method, under which the Company
expenses all drydocking costs as incurred. The Company believes that the
direct expense method is preferable as it eliminates the significant amount
of time and subjectivity involved in determining which costs and activities
related to drydocking qualify for the deferral method. When the accounting
principle was retrospectively applied, net income for the three-month and
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $0.1 and $1.6
million, respectively.
The Company reflected this change as a change in accounting principle from
an accepted accounting principle to a preferable accounting principle in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The new accounting principle will
be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in earnings releases
and filings.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company also changed its estimates
of the scrap price and useful life of its containerships to better reflect
the present market environment, industry practice and intended use. The
effect of these changes increased net income for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2009 by $1.6 and $3.3 million, respectively.

------- ------- ------- -------
(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
calendar days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided
by the number of calendar days in that period.
(2) Calendar days. We define calendar days as the total number of days in a
period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession
including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or
special or intermediate surveys or days of vessels in lay-up. Calendar days
are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the
amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during that
period.
(3) The scheduled off-hire days including vessels laid-up are days
associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate
surveys or days of vessels in lay-up. The shipping industry uses available
days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels were
available to generate revenues.
(4) Available days. We define available days as the total number of days in
a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession net of
scheduled off-hire days including days of vessels laid-up.
(5) Commercial off-hire days. We define commercial off-hire days as days
waiting to find employment.
(6) Operational off-hire days. We define operational off-hire days as days
associated with unscheduled repairs or other off-hire time related to the
operation of the vessels,
(7) Voyage days. We define voyage days as the total number of days in a
period during which each vessel in our fleet was in our possession net of
commercial and operational off-hire days. The shipping industry uses voyage
days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels
actually generate revenues.
(8) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the
number of our voyage days during a period by the number of our available
days during that period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to
measure a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its
vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for
reasons such as unscheduled repairs or days waiting to find employment.
(9) Fleet utilization, commercial. We calculate commercial fleet
utilization by dividing our available days net of commercial off-hire days
during a period by our available days during that period.
(10) Fleet utilization, operational. We calculate operational fleet
utilization by dividing our available net of operational off-hire days
during a period by our available days during that period.
(11) 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 revenue generated from voyage charters net of voyage expenses by
available 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 voyage charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under
which the vessels may be employed between the periods.
(12) Daily vessel operating expenses, which includes crew costs,
provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance
and repairs and management fees are calculated by dividing vessel operating
expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period.
(13) Daily general and administrative expense is calculated by dividing
general and administrative expense by fleet calendar days for the relevant
time period.
(14) Total vessel operating expenses, or TVOE, is a measure of our total
expenses associated with operating our vessels. TVOE is the sum of vessel
operating expenses and general and administrative expenses. Daily TVOE is
calculated by dividing TVOE by fleet calendar days for the relevant time
period.

EBITDA Reconciliation:
Euroseas Ltd. considers Adjusted EBITDA to represent net earnings before
interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, gain in derivatives and
amortization of deferred revenues from above or below market time charters
acquired. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered
as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined
by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP,
and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that
reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it
is a basis upon which we assess our financial performance and liquidity
position and because we believe that it presents useful information to
investors regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur
indebtedness. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the
same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries.
