SHIP News & Events

Seanergy Maritime announced that it has agreed to acquire two scrubber-fitted 181,500 dwt Capesize vessels to be constructed at a first-class shipyard in Japan and has entered into an agreement for the sale of the 2010-built M/V Squireship. The transactions expand the Company's newbuilding program to five vessels totaling approximately $384.0 million and underscore its disciplined fleet renewal strategy, which focuses on reallocating capital from older vessels into modern, fuel-efficient tonnage with attractive delivery positions.

Reports Q4 revenue $49.4M vs. $41.7M last year. Stamatis Tsantanis, CEO stated: "Driven by a strong Capesize market, Seanergy delivered a very strong fourth quarter, marking our fifth consecutive year of profitability. This performance reflects the durability of our pure-play Capesize strategy, disciplined balance sheet management, and our ability to consistently capture market upside. We remain firmly focused on delivering consistent shareholder returns. In 2025, we distributed $0.43 per common share in cash dividends, and with the declaration of the Q4 dividend of $0.20 per common share, we marked our 17th consecutive quarterly dividend. Since launching our dividend program, we have returned $2.64 per common share, or approximately $51.2less than, to our shareholders, underscoring both the strong earnings capacity of our fleet and our disciplined approach to capital allocation. Looking ahead, market fundamentals remain constructive as we move into 2026. Robust iron ore and bauxite trade flows, limited Capesize newbuilding supply, and favorable ton-mile dynamics continue to support earnings visibility. With a high-quality fleet, predominantly index-linked employment, and balanced leverage profile, we believe Seanergy is well positioned to capture meaningful upside in this favorable environment. Our fleet renewal program is progressing as planned and remains a core strategic priority. In recent months, we added two prompt, eco newbuilding orders at leading Chinese shipyards: a scrubber-fitted Capesize sister vessel to the unit previously announced, scheduled for delivery in Q3 2027, and a scrubber-fitted Newcastlemax scheduled for delivery in Q2 2028. The total current newbuilding investment of approximately $226 million reflects our intention to continue pursuing selective and prompt newbuilding opportunities when market conditions and financing terms are favorably aligned. "In parallel, and taking advantage of firm secondhand values, we recently agreed to sell the 2010-built Dukeship through an 18-month bareboat arrangement, crystallizing a solid price and generating positive cash flows through the bareboat period. We continue to actively evaluate opportunities to optimize our fleet through selective acquisitions and targeted disposals, while keeping long-term shareholder value and returns as a top priority. On the commercial front, we secured index-linked renewals for five vessels, maintaining full participation in a strengthening market while selectively utilizing FFAs to manage volatility. This disciplined approach continues to deliver strong commercial performance. For the first quarter of 2026, we estimate a daily TCE of approximately $25,300, representing a 14% premium to the prevailing AV5 BCI year-to-date, based on the current FFA curve, with approximately 77% of available days fixed at an average rate of $24,739. Seanergy enters 2026 from a position of financial strength, operational excellence, and strategic clarity, with a clear path toward continued per-share value creation for our shareholders."

The program, previously set to expire on December 31, 2025, has been extended for a further 12-month period. Under the program, the Company may repurchase up to $25.0 million of its outstanding common shares in the open market. As of today, approximately $20.1 million remains available for repurchases, while the program will remain effective through the period ending December 31, 2026.
