TEN, Ltd (TEN) (NYSE: TEN) (the “Company”) today reported results
(unaudited) for the six months and the second quarter ended June
30, 2024.
FIRST HALF 2024 SUMMARY
RESULTSIn the first half of 2024, TEN’s fleet generated
$416 million in gross revenues and $179 million in operating
profits which included capital gains of $49 million.
The resulting net income for the first half of
2024 reached $130.4 million or $3.96 per share.
The average Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) per
ship per day for the 2024 first half was a solid $33,830.
Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest,
Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) for the first half of 2024
reached $214 million.
Depreciation and amortization combined were at
$77 million, an increase of $6.6 million from last year’s first
half.
Vessel operating expenses experienced a modest
increase to $98 million, reflecting the higher number of vessels
and larger vessel sizes in the fleet.
Interest and finance costs for the 2024 first
six months were at $55.2 million, as a result of new loans for the
acquisition of five modern vessels during that period as well as
the delivery of four modern dual-fuel LNG powered new-buildings
during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of
2024.
Total operating expenses per ship per day,
despite persisting inflationary pressures, remained almost
identical to 2023 first half levels at $9,367.
At the end of June 2024, TEN’s cash position
reached $476 million, almost $100 million higher from year-end
2023.
Q2 2024 SUMMARY RESULTSWith
three vessels undergoing scheduled dry dockings and special
surveys, fleet utilization dropped to 92% and gross revenues
reached $214 million.
Operating income, which included $32 million of
capital gains in the second quarter of 2024 were at $103 million
resulted in a net income of $76.4 million for the same period.
Average TCE per ship per day in the 2024 second
quarter, which was impacted by vessel repositionings, reached
$34,235 leading to an adjusted EBITDA of $113 million for the same
period.
Fleet operating expenses were modestly higher
from the 2023 second quarter levels, reaching $49.7 million in the
2024 second quarter again reflecting the larger sizes of vessels in
the fleet. Despite that, and largely due to efficient vessel
management, operating expenses per ship per day for the second
quarter of 2024 dropped to $9,347 from $9,492 in the 2023
equivalent period.
Depreciation and amortization during the second
quarter of 2024 was in line with the increased number of vessels in
the fleet at $39.5 million.
Interest and finance costs for the second
quarter of 2024 reached $30.0 million reflecting the aforementioned
loans and continued elevated global interest rates.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS TEN, during
the summer of 2024, triggered the repurchase of two sister vessels,
the 2006-built suezmaxes Alaska and Archangel, by exercising,
in-the-money, purchase options. With the termination of this
leasing arrangement, TEN generated approximately $5.0 million in
forward hire savings. These two vessels continue to operate in the
fleet, unencumbered, and are currently on charter to significant
oil concerns at attractive rates.
NAVAL ACADEMYOn 7th September
2024, TST, our technical managers, inaugurated a non-profit private
naval academy on the seafaring island of Chios. This will result to
more than 100 students graduating on an annual basis with an
exceptionally high standard, technologically advanced and
environmentally friendly workforce for TEN’s ever-growing, modern,
innovative fleet going forward. We expect this to provide us with a
competitive advantage in running safe and efficient vessels for our
clients.
CORPORATE AFFAIRS - DIVIDENDTEN
is pleased to announce that it will distribute to common
shareholders a second semi-annual dividend of $0.90 per share
following the $0.60 per share paid in July, bringing the total
dividend for 2024 operations to $1.50, representing a 50% increase
over the amount distributed for 2023 operations. Dividend date to
be announced.
Since the Company’s NYSE listing in 2002, TEN
has consistently demonstrated its commitment to enhancing
shareholder value, having distributed well over $820 million in
common and preferred share dividends.
CORPORATE STRATEGYThe
underlying market fundamentals continue to be favorable as the
newbuilding orderbook is well in check, spurred by ongoing debates
on alternative fuels, and global oil demand on the increase. The
various geopolitical events around the globe continue unabated with
freight rates and asset prices on solid ground. The recent
incidents in the Red Sea have also added an additional layer of
complexity to the geopolitical landscape, causing most vessels,
particularly product tankers, enroute to Europe, to divert their
trip via the Cape of Good Hope. Such diversions have caused an
inevitable increase in ton-mile demand and further reduction in
vessel supply, assisting charter rates to remain elevated.
On top of this, the recent announcement from
OPEC+ to unwind approximately 2.2 million bpd of voluntary
production cuts is expected to provide an added boost to seaborne
trade and, ultimately, tanker demand.
In this environment, TEN has embarked on a
dynamic growth and renewal program and has acquired/contracted 21
fuel efficient environmentally friendlier vessels to adhere to the
increasing transportation needs of its blue-chip clientele.
With a solid balance sheet, $2.0 billion in
minimum contracted revenues and a fleet generating healthy cash
flows, TEN continues to expand in the sectors it operates. The
increasing appetite for longer-term contracts from new and
particularly existing clients is being effectively met by the
Company’s current vessels in the water and those under
construction.
“We are pleased to report another profitable
quarter which despite being impacted by various repositioning
voyages and three drydockings, allowed TEN to reward its
shareholders with a dividend payment 50% higher than the one paid
for 2023 operations,” Mr. George Saroglou, President & COO of
TEN, commented. “With a fleet continuing to reap the rewards of the
solid tanker market and receiving encouraging signs from our
clients for attractive long-term business, we remain confident that
we will continue to generate healthy cash flows and reward
shareholders in order to elevate TEN in the forefront of their
investment consideration,” Mr. Saroglou concluded.

| The Company reports
its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that
certain non-GAAP measures used within the financial community may
provide users of this financial information additional meaningful
comparisons between current results and results in prior operating
periods as well as comparisons between the performance of Shipping
Companies. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures
in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in
evaluating the Company’s performance. We are using the following
Non-GAAP measures: |
| (i) TCE which
represents voyage revenue less voyage expenses is divided by the
number of operating days less 99 days lost for the second quarter
