Revenues fell on lower shipping rates in line with expectations. Seanergy reported 2023-1Q revenues of $18.03m versus $29.7m last year but above our $17.4m projection. The average TCE rate for the quarter was $11,005/d versus $19,357/d causing the decline. Seanergy continues to receive above-market pricing due to its modern fleet and use of scrubbers. Management noted that TCE rates have risen above $18,000 allowing it to lock-in or extend ship rates. Seanergy has fixed approximately 75% of 2023-2Q available shipping days and estimates an average TCE of $18,870 based on forward rates.
Bottom line results reflect lower revenues. Seanergy reported 2023-1Q adjusted EBITDA of $3.9m versus $16.7m. Results were above our projection of $0.0m. Better-than-expected results reflect slightly higher revenues combined with slightly lower depreciation and financing costs. Seanergy reported 2023-1Q adjusted net income of ($0.3m) or ($0.02) per share. However, the company did not exclude an $8.1m gain on sale. Excluding the gain, adjusted net income would have been ($8.4m) or ($0.47) per share versus our ($12.4m) or ($0.69) per share estimate.
