CEO Dr. Diamantis Andriotis commented:
Following the completion of the first six months of operations for 2024, C3is has reported an Adjusted Net Income of $7.3 million, an adjusted EBITDA of
$11.3 million, and an adjusted EPS of $1.68.
We have taken delivery of our fourth vessel this year, bringing our total fleet capacity to 213,464 DWT,
an increase of 234% from the Companys inception, a little over a year ago.
We have more than doubled our fleet without the need for any bank debt.
In July 2024 we paid off the remaining balance of $38.7 million due on our Aframax tanker, without resorting to bank financings.
Shipping business is at a major turning point with a plethora of risks and opportunities, which are poised to shape market dynamics.
These are mainly the decline in global demand for bulk cargo such as iron ore and coal, the increase in transportation of grain and minor bulk cargo, the de-carbonization of customer value chains, the impact of market fluctuations and geopolitical risks.
We are confident
that we have established foundations that are adaptable to this changing environment, thereby enhancing our fundamental ability to both further develop existing core businesses, and explore new growth businesses.
Looking ahead, we believe that earnings momentum will remain generally favorable, prompting our continued focus on our fleet growth strategy. We will continue
to strive to produce both improved financial performance, attractive returns and growth prospects for our shareholders
