Management Commentary
Commenting on the results, Michael Bodouroglou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Paragon Shipping, stated, "The third quarter of 2013 was transformative for Paragon as we switched our focus to growth and execution of our strategy so we can take full advantage of the improvements we are seeing in the drybulk market."
Mr. Bodouroglou continued, "During the quarter, we successfully completed a $34.5 million equity offering, and acquired two Eco-Design Ultramax newbuilding drybulk carriers that are expected to be delivered in 2014. In addition, Box Ships proceeded with the full repayment of the outstanding balance of the loan provided by the Company in October, which further improves our liquidity and cash position."
Mr. Bodouroglou concluded, "During the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, we have witnessed significant strength in the drybulk market, starting with the Capes in August, and followed by Panamaxes in late September. We believe that the worst is behind us, although we expect that going forward the market will continue to be volatile. Overall, we are better positioned to capture the anticipated upcoming recovery of the drybulk market with a significantly lower cost structure and efficient operations."
Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Gross charter revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $14.1 million, compared to $13.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. The Company reported a net loss of $7.5 million, or $0.65 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013, calculated based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding for the period of 11,307,194 and reflecting the impact of the non-cash items discussed below. For the third quarter of 2012, the Company reported net loss of $18.8 million, or $3.08 per basic and diluted share, calculated based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted shares of 5,960,610.
Excluding all non-cash items described below, the adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $0.4 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $0.01 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012.
EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 was negative $1.4 million, compared to negative $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2012. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 was calculated by adding the net loss of $7.5 million to net interest expense, including interest expense from interest rate swaps, and depreciation that in the aggregate amounted to $6.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding all non-cash items described below, was $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2012.
The Company operated an average of 13.0 vessels during the third quarter of 2013, earning an average TCE rate of $9,274 per day, compared to an average of 12.0 vessels during the third quarter of 2012, earning an average TCE rate of $11,574 per day.
Total adjusted operating expenses for the third quarter of 2013 equaled $7.8 million, or approximately $6,510 per vessel per day, which include vessel operating expenses, management fees, general and administrative expenses and dry-docking costs, and exclude share-based compensation for the period of $0.9 million. For the third quarter of 2012, total adjusted operating expenses were $7.5 million, or approximately $6,832 per vessel per day, which include the items mentioned above, and exclude share-based compensation of $0.8 million.
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a $2.3 million gain from vessel early redelivery, mainly representing the total cash compensation, net of commissions, received due to the early termination of the M/V Coral Seas and M/V Deep Seas time charter agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned approximately 13.8% of the outstanding common stock of Box Ships Inc. (NYSE:TEU) ("Box Ships"), a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which successfully completed its initial public offering in April 2011. The investment in Box Ships is accounted for under the equity method and is separately reflected on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded income of $0.3 million, representing its share of Box Ships' net income for the period, compared to $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2012. In the third quarter of 2013, we received a cash amount of $0.4 million, representing dividend distributions from Box Ships, compared to $0.9 million received in the third quarter of 2012.
As of September 30, 2013, the difference between the fair value and the book value of the Company's investment in Box Ships was considered as other than temporary. Therefore, the investment was impaired and the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2013, which is presented as "Loss on investment in affiliate" in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss at the end of this release.
As of September 30, 2013, the change in the fair value of the 65,896 shares of Korea Line Corporation ("KLC"), which the Company received as part of the settlement agreement entered into with KLC in September 2011 and pursuant to the amended KLC rehabilitation plan that was approved by the Seoul Central District Court on March 28, 2013, was considered as other than temporary, and therefore the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Third Quarter 2013 Non-cash Items
The Company's results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 included the following non-cash items:
- Loss on investment in affiliate of $5.4 million, or $0.46 per basic and diluted share.
- Loss on marketable securities of $1.0 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share.
- An unrealized gain on interest rate swaps of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share.

In the aggregate, these non-cash items decreased the Company's earnings by $7.1 million, which represents a $0.61 decrease in earnings per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $7.3 million, compared to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was calculated by adding the net loss of $11.0 million to net interest expense, including interest expense from interest rate swaps, and depreciation that in the aggregate amounted to $18.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding all non-cash items described below, was $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received a cash amount of $1.6 million, representing dividend distributions from Box Ships, compared to $3.0 million received in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $0.4 million relating to the dilution effect from the Company's non-participation in the public offering by Box Ships of 4,000,000 of Box Ships' common shares, which was completed on March 18, 2013. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, the difference between the fair value and the book value of the Company's investment in Box Ships was considered to be other than temporary and therefore, the investment was impaired and the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $5.4 million.

Pursuant to the amended KLC rehabilitation plan, in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a gain from marketable securities of $3.1 million, representing the fair value of 58,483 additional KLC shares issued to the Company, based on the closing price of KLC shares as of May 9, 2013, the date of issuance. As of September 30, 2013, the change in the fair value of the 65,896 shares of KLC owned by the Company was considered as other than temporary, and therefore the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Time Charter Coverage Update
Pursuant to our chartering strategy, we will continue to employ our vessels on short-term time charters or voyage charters, which generally last for periods of ten days to four months, to be in a position to take advantage of any strengthening of the spot market when the charter market recovers.
Assuming all charter counterparties fully perform under the terms of the charters, based on the earliest redelivery dates and including our newbuilding vessels, we have secured employment for 61% and 5% of our fleet capacity for the remainder of 2013 and full year 2014, respectively.
Follow-On Public Offering
On September 27, 2013, the Company closed a public offering of 6,000,000 of its Class A common shares at $5.75 per share, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters to purchase up to 782,609 additional common shares. The gross proceeds from the offering before the underwriting discount and other offering expenses payable by the Company amounted to approximately $34.5 million (including $4.5 million from the exercise of the over-allotment option). The net proceeds from the offering after the underwriting discount and other offering expenses amounted to $31.9 million.
Newbuilding Program
Following the completion of the Company's previously-announced public offering of 6,000,000 common shares, on October 3, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of two Ultramax newbuilding drybulk carriers from Allseas Marine S.A., a ship management company which is wholly-owned by the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Michael Bodouroglou, and which provides commercial and technical management services for the Company's fleet. The Ultramax newbuildings have a carrying capacity of 63,500 dwt each, and are currently under construction at Yangzhou Dayang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., member of Sinopacific Shipbuilding Group, with scheduled delivery on May 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014, respectively.
The acquisition cost of these two newbuildings is $26.5 million per vessel, or $53.0 million in the aggregate. In October 2013, the Company paid an amount of $8.1 million per vessel, and the balance of the contract price, or $18.4 million per vessel, will be payable upon the delivery of each vessel.
Loan Agreement with Box Ships (May 27, 2011)
On October 18, 2013, Box Ships proceeded with the full repayment of the outstanding balance of the loan provided by the Company, plus accrued interest, that in the aggregate amounted to $6.1 million.

(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 days in the period. |
(2) |
Calendar days for the fleet are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period. |
(3) |
Available days for the fleet are the total calendar days for the relevant period less any off-hire days associated with scheduled dry-dockings or special or intermediate surveys. |
(4) |
Operating days for the fleet are the total available days for the relevant period less any off-hire days due to any reason, other than scheduled dry-dockings or special or intermediate surveys, including unforeseen circumstances. Any idle days relating to the days a vessel remains unemployed are included in operating days. |
(5) |
Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were able to generate revenues and is determined by dividing operating days by fleet available days for the relevant period. |
(6) |
Time charter equivalent ("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 Net Revenue generated from charters less voyage expenses by operating days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses consist of all costs that are unique to a particular voyage, primarily including port expenses, canal dues, war risk insurances and fuel costs, net of gains or losses from the sale of bunkers to charterers. TCE is a non-GAAP 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. |
(7) |
Daily vessel operating expenses, which includes 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. |
(8) |
Daily dry-docking expenses are calculated by dividing dry-docking expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. |

The Company considers EBITDA to represent Net Income / (Loss) plus net interest expense, including interest expense from interest rate swaps, and depreciation and amortization. The Company's management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not items recognized by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net Income / (Loss), Operating Income / (Loss) or any other indicator of a Company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. The Company's definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries. The Company believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because the shipping industry is capital intensive and may involve significant financing costs. The Company excluded non-cash items to derive the Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) and the Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes that these adjustments provide additional information on the fleet operational results. |
