EuroDry Ltd. was formed on January 8, 2018 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to consolidate the drybulk fleet of Euroseas Ltd. into a separate listed public company. EuroDry was spun-off from Euroseas Ltd. on May 30, 2018; it trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker EDRY. EuroDry operates in the dry cargo, drybulk shipping market. EuroDry’s operations are managed by Eurobulk Ltd., an ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certified affiliated ship management company and Eurobulk (Far East) Ltd. Inc., which are responsible for the day- to-day commercial and technical management and operations of the vessels. EuroDry employs its vessels on spot and period charters and under pool agreements.

Second quarter financial results. Eurodry Ltd. reported an adjusted second-quarter net loss to controlling shareholders of $447.4 thousand or ($0.17) per share compared to an adjusted net loss of $1.3 million or ($0.48) per share during the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $5.0 million compared to $2.5 million during the prior year period. While financial results improved on a year-over-year basis due to higher revenue, driven by an increased average time charter equivalent rate, voyage and drydocking expenses were above our estimates.
Updating estimates. We forecast 2024 EBITDA of $20.7 million and a net loss of ($0.65) per share. The third quarter will be a heavy quarter for drydocking and our revisions are driven primarily by higher drydocking expenses and fewer voyage days. We anticipate the company to post a net loss in the third quarter but finish the year with a strong fourth quarter due, in part, to lighter drydocking activity.
