Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“We are pleased to report another profitable quarter for Seanergy, despite the challenging macroeconomic and market conditions. Our Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend of $0.025 per share, consistent with our dividend policy and strategy of rewarding shareholders. Over the last four quarters, total cash dividend distributions have been approximately $22.5 million or $0.125 per share, which implies a 25% yield based on our closing price on November 29, 2022. Together with the successful execution of our two previous repurchase plans, we have deployed approximately $49.2 million to securities buybacks and cash dividends since Q4 2021.
“Regarding our financial performance in the third quarter, we have achieved TCE Revenues of $32.1 million, resulting in a daily TCE of $20,614. This represents a 51% premium to the average Baltic Capesize Index (“BCI”) earnings during the same period. For the first nine months of 2022 our daily TCE was $20,996, comparing favorably to the average daily BCI of $16,580. For Q1 2023, we also expect significant premium, compared to the relevant quoted forward freight agreements (“FFAs”), as we analyze further in this release. The decision to focus on acquiring premium quality vessels in combination with our commercial strategy and proactive freight hedging activities, have so far been able to mitigate the effects of a slowing dry bulk market. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter and nine months of 2022 amounted to $19.0 million and $53.1 million, respectively, while Net Income for the quarter and nine-month period was approximately $7.1 million and $16.7 million, respectively.
“Concerning our commercial developments, four of our vessels secured new time charter (“T/C”) employment or extended their existing agreements since our last update. The time charters are index-linked and all of them were concluded at premiums over the BCI. In addition, we managed to improve the scrubber profit sharing scheme for the scrubber-fitted vessels that were due for renewal. Within the next two quarters several of our scrubber-fitted vessels will start earning a considerably higher share of the scrubber premium, further strengthening our operational revenues.
“On the ESG and energy efficiency front, during the quarter we continued the installation of energy saving devices on an additional vessel. Similar to the rest of our fleet, these improvements will ensure the marketability of this vessel well into the future by keeping pace with the high environmental demands of first-class charterers. We have also continued the biofuel trials with two major clients and are in process of evaluating similar prospects with more of our close charterers.
“On the financing front, we continue our balance sheet optimization initiatives, having concluded $108.3 million in new financings and refinancing in 2022 to-date. In October, we closed a $28.0 million loan facility with a major European lender to refinance the $23.6 million indebtedness secured by two of our vessels on improved pricing terms. Following this refinancing, we have successfully addressed all remaining loan maturities for the current year, while ensuring sufficient liquidity that will allow us to mitigate a softer market environment and to evaluate opportunities to expand and renew our fleet.
“With dry bulk fleet growth at the lowest levels on record, we remain confident in the long-term prospects of the market and are constantly evaluating our options with respect to returning capital to shareholders and accretive vessel acquisitions.”

Fleet Data:

(1) Ownership days are the total number of calendar days in a period during which the vessels in a fleet have been owned or chartered in. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of the Company’s fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that the Company recorded during a period.
(2) Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. Operating days includes the days that our vessels are in ballast voyages without having finalized agreements for their next employment.
(3) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that the vessels are generating revenue and is determined by dividing operating days by ownership days for the relevant period.
(4) TCE rate is defined as the Company’s net revenue less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of the Company’s operating days during the period. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel oil and diesel oil) expenses, canal charges and other commissions. The Company includes the TCE rate, a non-GAAP measure, as it believes it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with net revenues from vessels, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and because it assists the Company’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because the Company believes that it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. The Company’s calculation of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the Company’s net revenues from vessels to the TCE rate.

(5) Vessel operating expenses include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricants, insurance, maintenance and repairs. Daily Vessel Operating Expenses are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses, excluding pre delivery costs, by ownership days for the relevant time periods. The Company’s calculation of daily vessel operating expenses may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the Company’s vessel operating expenses to daily vessel operating expenses.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") represents the sum of net income / (loss), net interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a period. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, loss on forward freight agreements, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, and the non-recurring gains on spin-off and on sale of vessel, which the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented as we believe that these measures are useful to investors as a widely used means of evaluating operating profitability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted Net income Reconciliation and calculation of Adjusted Net Income Per Share

To derive Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) and Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share from Net Income/(Loss), we exclude non-cash items, as provided in the table above. We believe that Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) and Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period since each such measure eliminates the effects of such non-cash items as gain/(loss) on extinguishment of debt and other items which may vary from year to year, for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In addition, we believe that the presentation of the respective measure provides investors with supplemental data relating to our results of operations, and therefore, with a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than with GAAP measures alone. Our method of computing Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) and Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Fourth Quarter 2022 TCE Guidance:
As of the date hereof, approximately 72% of the Company fleet’s expected operating days in the fourth quarter of 2022 have been fixed at an estimated TCE of approximately $18,500. Assuming that for the remaining operating days of our index-linked T/Cs, the respective vessels’ TCE will be equal to the average Forward Freight Agreement (“FFA”) rate of $11,500 per day (based on the FFA curve of November 28, 2022), our estimated TCE for the third quarter of 2022 will be approximately $16,3003. Our TCE guidance for the fourth quarter of 2022 includes a conversion of index-linked charter to fixed, which was concluded in Q2 2022 as part of our freight hedging strategy. The following table provides the break-down: Operating DaysTCETCE - fixed rate (index-linked conversion)9229,414TCE - fixed rate4929,183TCE – index-linked unhedged1,40314,989Total / Average1,54416,302
________________________
3 This guidance is based on certain assumptions and there can be no assurance that these TCE estimates, or projected utilization will be realized. TCE estimates include certain floating (index) to fixed rate conversions concluded in previous periods. For vessels on index-linked T/Cs, the TCE realized will vary with the underlying index, and for the purposes of this guidance, the TCE assumed for the remaining operating days of the quarter for an index-linked T/C is equal to the average FFA rate of $11,500. Spot estimates are provided using the load-to-discharge method of accounting. Over the duration of the voyage (discharge-to-discharge) there is no difference in the total revenues and costs to be recognized. The rates quoted are for days currently contracted. Increased ballast days at the end of the quarter will reduce the additional revenues that can be booked based on the accounting cut-offs and therefore the resulting TCE will be reduced accordingly.
Third Quarter and Recent Developments:
Dividend Distribution for Q2 2022 and Declaration of Q3 2022 Dividend
On October 11, 2022, the Company paid the previously announced quarterly dividend of $0.025 per share, for the second quarter of 2022.

Update on Stock Purchases by the CEO
In the third quarter to date, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Stamatis Tsantanis, has purchased 49,500 of Seanergy’s common shares.
In November 2022, the Company entered into a time charter agreement with Glencore for the M/V Patriotship. The T/C commenced on November 19, 2022 and will have a term of about 12 to about 18 months. The gross daily rate of the T/C is based at a premium over the BCI and at a scrubber profit sharing scheme. In addition, the T/C provides the option to the owner to convert this charter party to a fixed rate based on the prevailing BCI FFA rate.
In September 2022, the charterer of the M/V Worldship agreed to exercise the optional period extending the T/C for about 12 to about 15 months at a rate based at a premium over the BCI and at a scrubber profit sharing scheme. In addition, the T/C provides the option to the owner to convert this charter party to a fixed rate based on prevailing BCI FFA rate.
In August 2022, the charterer of the M/V Lordship agreed to exercise the optional period extending the T/C for about 11 to about 13 months which includes an improved scrubber profit sharing scheme for Seanergy. The rest of the T/C terms remained the same.
In September 2022, the charterer of the M/V Goodship agreed to exercise the optional period extending the T/C to minimum June 30, 2023 to maximum December 31, 2023.
Danish Ship Finance A/S
On October 10, 2022, the Company entered into a $28.0 million loan facility to refinance the previous facility of $23.6 million secured by the M/Vs Premiership and Fellowship.
