ATHENS, Greece, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. ("Seanergy" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SHIP), a leading pure-play Capesize owner and operator, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per common share. This marks Seanergy's 19(th) consecutive quarterly dividend under its capital return policy and reflects the Company's strong earnings generation and disciplined approach to capital allocation.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company generated Net Revenues of $55.7 million, compared to $37.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Net Income and Adjusted Net Income for the quarter increased to $26.2 million and $28.5 million, respectively, compared to $2.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in the prior-year period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached $39.3 million and $41.5 million, respectively, compared to $17.4 million and $18.3 million, respectively, for the same period of 2025. The fleet achieved a daily TCE of $32,355 for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 63% year-over-year increase.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Seanergy generated Net Revenues of $97.8 million, Net Income of $35.9 million and Adjusted Net Income of $42.0 million, compared to Net Revenues of $61.7 million, a Net Loss of $4.0 million and Adjusted Net Loss of $1.7 million in the first half of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 165% to $69.6 million, while Adjusted EPS reached $1.96, compared to an adjusted loss per share of $0.09 in the prior-year period. Fleet TCE increased by 69% to $28,244 per day.
Cash and cash-equivalents and restricted cash, as of June 30, 2026, stood at $59.5 million. Long-term debt (senior loans and other financial liabilities) net of deferred charges amounted to $294.9 million, compared with a fleet book value of $542.3 million, including advances paid for vessels under construction and a vessel under sales-type lease, resulting in a fleet loan-to-book value ratio of approximately 55%. Stockholders' equity increased by $31.7 million, or 11% to $313.1 million, over the six-month period.
______________________________
(3 Blended Q3 TCE estimated on approx. 71% of Q3 available days already fixed and FFA rates as of July 28, 2026.)
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company's Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
"Seanergy delivered record results in the second quarter with Net Income of $26.2 million and Adjusted EPS of $1.32, bringing first-half Adjusted EPS to $1.96, and underscoring the strong earnings power and operating leverage of our pure-play Capesize platform."
"Building on our solid performance, we continued to execute on our disciplined capital return policy. Our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, our 19th consecutive distribution, bringing cumulative dividends to $3.19 per share, or approximately $63.2 million in aggregate. In total, we have returned $108.4 million to shareholders since program inception, through dividends and the repurchases of shares, warrants and convertible notes."
"We further advanced our fleet renewal strategy by agreeing to acquire two additional high-quality Japanese Capesize vessels for an aggregate consideration of approximately $130 million. These transactions consist of a scrubber-fitted newbuilding and a modern 2022-built vessel, both expected to join our fleet in 2029. These acquisitions lock in modern, fuel-efficient tonnage and scarce 2029 delivery slots ahead of an anticipated tightening in Capesize supply."
"Our fleet renewal and growth program now comprises eight modern vessels, including seven newbuildings and one 2022-built Capesize, and represents an aggregate investment of approximately $591 million. Four of the eight vessels are scheduled to deliver in 2027, accelerating fleet renewal and earnings contribution from 2027 onward. We continue to execute selectively, pairing scarce delivery slots with disposals of older tonnage at firm valuations, while maintaining a disciplined balance sheet."
"We have also secured multi-year employment for our three Chinese-built 2027 newbuildings with leading global counterparties, at floor rates covering expected cash breakeven plus a premium index-linked formula and profit sharing above an upper threshold. This approach materially de-risks the first phase of the program from day one of delivery while maintaining the upside potential central to our investment thesis."
"Our successful issuance of a EUR100 million unsecured corporate bond in Greece diversifies our capital base and complements our existing secured financings. Its five-year non-amortizing structure provides non-dilutive, long-term capital precisely matched to the construction phase of our program, before the new vessels begin generating revenues."
"The Capesize market continued to perform strongly during the second quarter, supported by record quarterly China iron ore imports and continued growth in bauxite trade against low fleet supply growth. Looking ahead, the market outlook remains constructive: a low orderbook against a rapidly ageing fleet, strong iron ore export growth, and resilient coal and bauxite volumes. In this context, we have fixed about 55% of our ownership days for the second half of the year at a daily rate of $30,800, providing significant earnings visibility while preserving meaningful index-linked exposure in a strong Capesize market. Additionally, based on the current FFA curve, our estimated 3Q 2026 daily TCE of approximately $31,000 further reinforces our positive earnings outlook and our ability to continue generating attractive returns in the quarters ahead."
"Our strategic direction remains clear: deliver consistent shareholder distributions, invest strategically in modern tonnage, and preserve financial flexibility. We believe this balanced approach positions Seanergy to create meaningful long-term shareholder value."

-------------------------- ------- ------- ------- -------
(1 ) Ownership days are the total number of calendar days
in a period during which the vessels in a fleet have
been owned or chartered in. Ownership days are an
indicator of the size of the Company's fleet over
a period and affect both the amount of revenues and
the amount of expenses that the Company recorded during
a period.
(2 ) Operating days are the number of available days in
a period less the aggregate number of days that the
vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances.
Available days are the number of ownership days less
the aggregate number of days that our vessels are
off-hire due to major repairs, dry-dockings, lay-up
or special or intermediate surveys. Operating days
include the days that our vessels are in ballast voyages
without having finalized agreements for their next
employment. The Company's calculation of operating
days may not be comparable to that reported by other
companies.
(3 ) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that the
vessels are generating revenue and is determined by
dividing operating days by ownership days for the
relevant period. Fleet Utilization is used to measure
a company's ability to efficiently find suitable employment
for its vessels and minimize the number of days that
its vessels are off-hire for unforeseen events. We
believe it provides additional meaningful information
and assists management in making decisions regarding
areas where we may be able to improve efficiency and
increase revenue and because we believe that it provides
useful information to investors regarding the efficiency
of our operations. The Company's calculation of fleet
utilization may not be comparable to that reported
by other companies.
(4 ) TCE rate is defined as the Company's net vessel revenue
less voyage expenses during a period divided by the
number of the Company's operating days during the
period. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker
(fuel oil and diesel oil) expenses, canal charges
and other commissions. The Company includes the TCE
rate, which is not a recognized measure under U.S.
GAAP, as it believes it provides additional meaningful
information in conjunction with net revenues from
vessels, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure,
and because it assists the Company's management in
making decisions regarding the deployment and use
of our vessels and because the Company believes that
it provides useful information to investors regarding
our financial performance. The Company's calculation
of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported
by other companies. The following table reconciles
the Company's net revenues from vessels to the TCE
rate.

(5 ) Vessel operating expenses include crew costs, provisions,
deck and engine stores, lubricants, insurance, maintenance

by dividing vessel operating expenses, excluding pre
delivery costs, by ownership days for the relevant
time periods. The Company's calculation of daily vessel
operating expenses may not be comparable to that reported
by other companies. The following table reconciles

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") represents the sum of net income / (loss), net interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, (gain) / loss on forward freight agreements, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, and (gain) / loss on FX derivatives. which the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented as we believe that these measures are useful to investors as a widely used means of evaluating operating profitability from period to period. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

To derive Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings / (loss) Per Share, a non-GAAP financial measure, from Net Income / (loss), we adjust for dividends and undistributed earnings to non-vested participating securities and exclude non-cash items, as provided in the table above. We believe that Adjusted Net Income / (loss) and Adjusted Earnings / (loss) Per Share assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period since each such measure eliminates the effects of such non-cash items as loss on extinguishment of debt, stock based compensation, (gain) / loss on FX derivatives and other items which may vary from year to year, for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In addition, we believe that the presentation of the respective measure provides investors with supplemental data relating to our results of operations, and therefore, with a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than with GAAP measures alone. Our method of computing Adjusted Net Income / (loss) and Adjusted Earnings / (loss) Per Share may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
Third Quarter 2026 TCE Rate Guidance:
As of the date hereof, approximately 71% of the Company fleet's expected operating days in the third quarter of 2026 have been fixed at an estimated TCE rate of approximately $30,112. Assuming that for the remaining operating days of our index-linked time charters, the BCI-180 rate will be equal to $33,980 (based on the FFA curve as of July 28, 2026), our estimated TCE rate for the third quarter of 2026 will be approximately $30,998(4) . The following table provides the breakdown of index-linked charters and fixed-rate charters in the third quarter of 2026:
Operating Days TCE
------------------------------------------- -------------- -------
TCE - fixed rate (incl. FFA conversions) 920 $28,468
------------------------------------------- -------------- -------
TCE -- index-linked 718 $34,236
------------------------------------------- -------------- -------
Total / Average 1,638 $30,998
------------------------------------------- -------------- -------
______________________________
4 This guidance is based on certain assumptions and the Company cannot provide assurance that these TCE rate estimates, or projected utilization rates will be realized. TCE estimates include certain floating (index) to fixed rate conversions concluded in previous periods. For vessels on index-linked T/Cs, the TCE rate realized will vary with the underlying index, and for the purposes of this guidance, the BCI 5TC 180 rate assumed for the remaining operating days of the quarter for an index-linked T/C is equal to $33,980 (based on the FFA curve as of July 28, 2026). Spot estimates are provided using the load-to-discharge method of accounting. The rates quoted are for days currently contracted. Increased ballast days at the end of the quarter will reduce the additional revenues that can be booked based on the accounting cut-offs and therefore the resulting TCE rate will be reduced accordingly.
Second Quarter and Recent Developments:
Dividend Distribution for Q1 2026 and Declaration of Q2 2026 Dividend
On July 10, 2026, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share for the first quarter of 2026 to all shareholders of record as of June 29, 2026.
The Company has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per common share for the second quarter of 2026 payable on or about October 9, 2026, to all shareholders of record as of September 25, 2026.
Vessel Improvements - Environmental Investments - Dry-Dockings
The Company is renewing its fleet through the addition of advanced eco-design newbuildings and modern secondhand tonnage, while selectively divesting older vessels. The seven newbuildings under the Company's fleet renewal and growth program are designed to meet International Maritime Organization requirements for Phase 3 greenhouse gas emissions reduction ("IMO GHG Phase 3") and Tier III nitrogen oxide emissions ("IMO NOx Tier III") and are scrubber-fitted.
In parallel, the Company continues to implement the environmental upgrade program across its existing fleet, having invested approximately $37.3 million since 2024 in environmental upgrades, vessel improvements and dry-dockings.
Together, the fleet renewal and environmental upgrade initiatives are expected to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Having completed the majority of the scheduled upgrades in prior quarters, the Company expects approximately 50 off-hire days for the remainder of 2026 in connection with scheduled dry-dockings, vessel repairs and environmental upgrades.
Fleet Update
Acquisition of Two Japanese-Built Capesize Vessels for 2029 Delivery
The Company has entered into an agreement with unaffiliated third parties to acquire two Japanese Capesize vessels for aggregate consideration of approximately $130.0 million.
The acquisitions comprise:
-- a 181,000 dwt scrubber-fitted Capesize newbuilding, expected to be
delivered between the first and second quarters of 2029; and
-- a 182,162 dwt Capesize vessel built in 2022, with forward delivery
expected between the fourth quarter of 2028 and the second quarter of
2029.
The Company has already paid a deposit of 5% of the purchase price for the Capesize newbuilding. The remaining balance of the purchase price shall be payable as follows: 35% in three instalments by November 2028, and the remaining 60% upon delivery of the vessel. Concerning the 2022-built Capesize vessel, the agreement involves a 10% advance payment, while the remaining 90% of the purchase price will be payable upon the vessel's delivery.
The newbuilding vessel will incorporate advanced eco-design features, intended to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Together, the two acquisitions will add modern high-quality tonnage at a delivery point, which is aligned with the next phase of the Company's fleet renewal strategy and expected requirements.
To date, the Company has already paid $72.6 million for its newbuilding and fleet renewal program while maintaining a strong liquidity position.
Sale of M/V Squireship
In June 2026, the Company delivered to United Maritime Corporation, a related party, the 170,018 dwt M/V Squireship, built in 2010. The gross sale price was approximately $29.5 million, generating net proceeds of about $13.8 million. Seanergy continues to provide technical and management services to the vessel, facilitating the continuation of the vessel's existing commercial employment.
Commercial Updates
Long-Term Time Charters for Three 2027-Delivery Newbuildings
In July 2026, the Company entered into multi-year time charter agreements for three scrubber-fitted Capesize newbuildings scheduled for delivery between the second and fourth quarters of 2027.
Two of our vessels to be delivered in 2027, to be named M/V Primeship and M/V Chrysship, have each been chartered for a period of five years to a leading European operator, with three optional extension periods of minimum 10 to maximum 14 months each. The third vessel, a 181,000 dwt Capesize vessel scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2027 has been chartered for four years to a major mining company, with two optional extension periods of about 11 to about 13 months. The charters are expected to commence upon the respective delivery of each vessel.
The agreements provide for average floor rates of approximately $23,100 per day, designed to cover the vessels' estimated cash breakeven levels. Above the floor, hire is calculated at a significant premium over the BCI-180 up to an average upper threshold of approximately $29,750 per day. Above the upper threshold, incremental earnings based on the same premium over the BCI-180 are shared equally between Seanergy and the respective charterer.
M/V Kaizenship -- New Time Charter agreement
In July 2026, the Company entered into a new time charter agreement with Oldendorff Carriers GmbH & Co. KG ("Oldendorff") for the M/V Kaizenship, for a period of about 18 to about 28 months. The new time charter agreement with Oldendorff is expected to commence in August 2026. The daily hire is based on the 5 T/C routes of the BCI, with an option for the Company to fix the rate for 1 to 16 months based on the prevailing Capesize FFA curve.
M/V Blueship -- New Time Charter agreement
In June 2026, the Company entered into a new time charter agreement with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha ("NYK") for the M/V Blueship, for a period of about minimum 14 to about maximum 17 months. The new time charter agreement with NYK is expected to commence in November 2026, in direct continuation of the maximum period of the current charter. The daily hire is based on the 5 T/C routes of the BCI along with a fixed daily premium, with an option for the Company to fix the rate for 2 to 12 months based on the prevailing Capesize FFA curve.
M/V Fellowship -- Time Charter Extension
In July 2026, the existing charterer exercised its option to extend the time charter agreement for the M/V Fellowship until a minimum of January 2028 and a maximum of March 2028, with the extension commencing immediately upon the expiration of the current charter period.
M/V Friendship -- Time Charter Extension
In June 2026, the existing charterer of the vessel exercised its option to extend the time charter agreement for M/V Friendship by six months beyond the current minimum/maximum charter period, in direct continuation from the previous agreement.
Financing Updates
Successful Completion of EUR100 Million Five-Year Unsecured Corporate Bond Offering
In July 2026, Seanergy successfully completed a EUR100 million unsecured bond offering to investors in Greece (ATHEX: SHIPB1). The bonds were admitted to trading on the Fixed Income Securities Segment of Euronext Athens Holding S.A. on July 13, 2026.
The bonds were issued at par, mature in July 2031 and carry a coupon of 4.90% per annum, payable semi-annually. The five-year bullet structure involves no scheduled principal amortization before maturity, preserving liquidity during the construction phase of the Company's newbuilding program.
Newbuilding Capesize vessel -- Sale and Leaseback agreement
The Company has agreed to enter into a $60.0 million sale and leaseback agreement to partially finance the acquisition of the Capesize vessel scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2027. The agreement also provides pre-delivery financing for certain instalments under the shipbuilding contract. Upon delivery, the vessel will be sold and chartered back for a period of 84 months. The Company will have continuous purchase options at predetermined prices as set forth in the agreement, commencing two years after the charter commencement date. The charterhire principal will amortize in 28 quarterly instalments of $0.7 million along with a purchase option of $40.0 million at the expiry of the bareboat charter. The pre-delivery financing amounts will accrue interest, payable quarterly in arrears.
