First quarter results. Seanergy reported first-quarter net revenues of $24.2 million, slightly ahead of our estimate of $23.5 million, due to a higher-than-expected time charter equivalent (TCE) rate. Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share (EPS) were $8.0 million and a loss of $0.27, respectively, compared to our estimates of $6.1 million and a loss of $0.38. The better-than-anticipated results are reflective of higher revenues as well as lower costs due to savings in general and administrative expenses.

Updating estimates. We are increasing our 2025 revenue estimates to $142.9 million from $142.5 million. Additionally, we are raising our adjusted EBITDA and EPS estimates to $70.5 million and $0.74, respectively, up from $68.1 million and $0.59. These revisions are reflective of management’s guidance of better-than-expected TCE rates and fewer dry-docking days, resulting in higher operating days and lower expenses.

We are adjusting in response to lower third-quarter shipping rates. Our third-quarter and 2022 revenues estimates for Genco have been modestly reduced to $130.6 million and $535.2 million. Our third-quarter and 2022 EBITDA estimates are now $68.7 million and $258.0 million, down from $70.8 million and $264.3 million. Our third-quarter and 2022 EPS estimates are now $1.21 and $4.52, down from $1.25 and $4.66.

Our rating on the shares of Genco remains Outperform with a $28 price target. Lower shipping rates will adversely affect near-term results but does not change our long-term positive view of the shipping industry and Genco, in specific.
