Time Charter Coverage Update
Pursuant to its time chartering strategy, the Company mainly employs vessels under fixed rate time charters for periods ranging from one to five years.
Assuming all charter counter parties fully perform under the terms of the charters, all exercisable optional periods under the charter parties are exercised and including our newbuilding vessels, the Company has secured under such contracts 94%, 73% and 35% of its fleet capacity in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
Management Commentary
Commenting on the results, Michael Bodouroglou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Paragon Shipping, stated, "We are pleased to announce our results for the full year 2011, which turned out to be a challenging one for the shipping industry. For 2011, our EBITDA was negative $242.0 million, while we reported net loss of $283.3 million. The main item that impacted our results was a non-cash impairment loss of $277.3 million, related to the write down to market value of the carrying amounts of seven of the Company's vessels. After adjusting for non-cash items, the Company reported adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year of 2011 of $54.1 million, while our adjusted net income was $15.6 million, or 26 cents per share. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company reported adjusted EBITDA of $9.3 million and adjusted net income of $0.8 million, or 1 cent per share.
Mr. Bodouroglou continued, "Despite the continued decline in the chartering market, we managed to successfully re-charter our vessels that were redelivered, for sufficient durations in order to enhance our cash flow visibility during this challenging period. Currently we have fixed the majority of our revenue days in 2012 and 2013 and we believe we are sufficiently protected from any further deterioration in the market. Moreover, in the second quarter of 2011, Box Ships Inc., a former subsidiary of Paragon, successfully completed its IPO. Paragon currently owns 21.1% of Box Ship's shares, and therefore continues to benefit from diversified income. In addition, we utilized part of the cash received from the sale of four vessels during 2011 to repay debt and took the opportunity to amend several of our loan agreements, reducing our repayments for the coming quarters and softening the respective covenants."
Mr. Bodouroglou concluded, "Overall, during 2011, we exploited every opportunity to prepare ourselves for the deteriorating market conditions while at the same time preserving the Company's liquidity to the extent possible. That way we not only safeguard the Company, but also ensure that we remain in a strong position to take advantage of any opportunity that may develop."
Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results:
Gross time charter revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $17.0 million, compared to $28.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company reported net loss of $272.2 million, or $4.52 per basic and diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2011, calculated on 58,665,317 weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding for the period and reflecting the impact of the non-cash items discussed below. For the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company reported net income of $2.3 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, calculated on 50,796,008 weighted average number of basic and diluted shares.
Excluding all non-cash items described below, adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $0.8 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $4.1 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010.
EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2011 was negative $262.9 million, compared to positive $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2011 was calculated by adding to net loss of $272.2 million, net interest expense and depreciation that, in the aggregate, amounted to $9.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding all non-cash items described below, was $9.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $15.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.
The Company operated an average of 10.3 vessels during the fourth quarter of 2011, earning a TCE rate of $16,965 per day, compared to an average of 13.1 vessels during the fourth quarter of 2010, earning an average TCE rate of $23,053 per day.
Total adjusted operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 equaled $7.6 million, or approximately $8,036 per day, including vessel operating expenses, management fees, general and administrative expenses and drydocking costs, but excluding $1.1 million of share-based compensation for the period. For the fourth quarter of 2010, total adjusted operating expenses were $10.8 million, or approximately $8,921 per day, including the same items as mentioned above, but excluding $3.4 million of share-based compensation.
Currently, the Company owns approximately 21.1% of the outstanding common stock of Box Ships Inc. (NYSE:TEU), or Box Ships, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which successfully completed its initial public offering in April 2011. The investment in Box Ships, an affiliate, is accounted for under the equity method and is separately reflected on Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded income of $1.2 million, representing its share of Box Ships' net income for the period. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we received a cash amount of $1.0 million representing dividend distributions from Box Ships.
Fourth Quarter 2011 Non-cash Items
The Company's results for the three months ended December 31, 2011 included the following non-cash items:
- Depreciation expense of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, associated with below market time charters attached to vessels acquired, which increased the Company's depreciation expense (amortized over the remaining useful life of the vessel).
- Loss on sale of vessel of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, related to the sale of M/V Crystal Seas to an unrelated party.
- Impairment loss of $271.6 million, or $4.51 per basic and diluted share, relating to the write down to fair value of the carrying amount of six of the Company's vessels; the M/V Coral Seas, the M/V Golden Seas, the M/V Diamond Seas, the M/V Pearl Seas, the M/V Sapphire Seas and the M/V Friendly Seas to fair values.
- An unrealized gain from interest rate swaps of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share.
- Non-cash expenses of $1.1 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, relating to the amortization of the compensation cost recognized for non-vested share awards issued to the Company's executive officers, directors and employees.
In total, these non-cash items decreased net income by $273.0 million, or $4.53 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Discussion with Bank Lender
We are currently in discussion with one of our bank lenders since, as of December 31, 2011, we were not in compliance with the security cover ratio and the working capital requirement covenant, which requires $1.0 million working capital, contained in the respective agreement. As a result, we may be required to prepay indebtedness in the amount of $2.5 million or provide additional collateral to our lender in the form of cash or other property in the total amount of $2.8 million in order to eliminate the shortfall and comply with the security cover ratio covenant. A similar breach as at September 30, 2011 had been cured by the Company depositing $3.75 million as additional security. We are currently in discussions with our lender regarding our request to waive the respective covenants, including the working capital covenant, and amend the credit facility in order to be in a position to secure alternative refinancing before the loan becomes due in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of calendar days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in the period. |
|
(2) |
Available days for the fleet are the total calendar days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days for major repairs, drydocks or special or intermediate surveys. |
|
(3) |
Calendar days are the total days we possessed the vessels in our fleet for the relevant period including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys. |
|
(4) |
Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating available days and is determined by dividing available days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period. |
|
(5) |
Time charter equivalent or TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing Net Revenue generated from charters less voyage expenses by available days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage. TCE is a non-GAAP standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyage charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. |
|
For the time charter equivalent adjusted, other non-cash items relating to the below market time charters attached to vessels acquired, which are amortized over the remaining period of the time charter as an increase to net revenue, have been excluded. The Company excluded amortization of below market acquired time charters because the Company believes that these adjustments provide additional information on the fleet operational results. |
||
(6) |
Daily vessel operating expenses, which includes crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs, is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. |
|
(7) |
Daily drydocking expenses are calculated by dividing drydocking expenses by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. |
|
(8) |
Daily management fees charged by a related party adjusted are calculated by dividing management fees charged by a related party, excluding share based compensation to the management company, by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. |
|
(9) |
Daily general and administrative expenses adjusted are calculated by dividing general and administrative expenses, excluding non-cash expenses relating to the amortization of the share based compensation cost for non-vested share awards, by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. |
|
(10) |
Total vessel operating expenses, or TVOE, is a measurement of our total expenses associated with operating our vessels. TVOE is the sum of vessel operating expenses, drydocking expenses, management fees and general and administrative expenses. Daily TVOE adjusted is calculated by dividing TVOE, excluding non-cash expenses relating to the amortization of the share based compensation cost for non-vested share awards and share based compensation to the management company, by fleet calendar days for the relevant time period. |

Paragon Shipping Inc. considers EBITDA to represent net income plus net interest expense and depreciation and amortization. The Company's management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not items recognized by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator of a Company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. The Company's definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as that used by other companies in the shipping or other industries. The Company believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because the shipping industry is capital intensive and may involve significant financing costs. The Company excluded non-cash items to derive the adjusted net income and the adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes that these adjustments provide additional information on the fleet operational results. |

(2) |
Excludes a portion of depreciation charged on purchase price adjustment allocated to vessel cost for vessels acquired with below market charters. |
