Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results


NEW YORK, NY, August 8, 2012-- Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (Nasdaq: EGLE) today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

For the Second Quarter:

·  
Net reported loss of $23.1 million or $1.46 per share (based on a weighted average of 15,880,392 diluted shares outstanding for the quarter), compared to net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.09 per share, for the comparable quarter in 2011.
·  
Net revenues of $48.5 million, compared to $76.4 million for the comparable quarter in 2011. Gross time charter and freight revenues of $50.5million, compared to $81.1 million for the comparable quarter in 2011.
·  
EBITDA, as adjusted for exceptional items under the terms of the Company's credit agreement, was $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared with $28.8 million for the second quarter of 2011.
·  
Fleet utilization rate of 99.5%.
·  
All references to common stock and per share data have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect a 1 for 4 reverse stock split on May 22, 2012.
·  
On June 20, 2012, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to its credit facility agreement.
 
Sophocles N. Zoullas, Chairman and CEO, commented, "Eagle Bulk's second quarter results reflect ongoing instability and weakness in the dry bulk market, with the Baltic Index declining approximately 40% this year alone.  Our successfully amended credit agreement represents an important achievement in this environment, as we aligned our balance sheet with the realities of the current market without compromising our competitiveness when the market does recover.
 
"Going forward, we will continue pursuit of a strategy that maximizes revenue upside through a flexible, opportunistic chartering strategy, a diversified cargo mix that stabilizes earnings, and operational excellence and efficiency."
 
Amended Credit Agreement

On June 20, 2012, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Fourth Amended") to its existing credit facility, dated as of October 19, 2007. Highlights of the agreement include the following:
·      
Permanently waives any purported defaults or events of defaults.
·      
$1,129,478,741 presently outstanding under the existing revolver will convert into a term loan, with a maturity set to December 31, 2015. Subject to certain conditions, the amendment provides an option to the Company to extend the maturity date an additional 18 months to June 30, 2017.
·      
Eagle Bulk will have access to a liquidity facility in the aggregate amount of $20,000,000.
·      
The amendment requires no fixed repayments of principal until maturity, and is subject to a quarterly sweep of cash in excess of $20,000,000.
·      
All amounts presently outstanding under the existing credit agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus a cash margin of 3.50% and a payment-in-kind ("PIK") margin of 2.50%. This aggregate margin can be reduced if Company leverage is lowered.
·      
Replaces all existing financial covenants and substitutes them with covenants that phase-in over the next three years.
·      
Permits within certain parameters for the purchase or sale of vessels and management of third party vessels.

·      
Company issued 3,148,584 warrants convertible on a cashless basis into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 (the "Warrant Shares"), at a strike price of $0.01 per share of common stock.  One-third of the warrants are exercisable immediately, the next third of the warrants are exercisable when the price of the Company's common stock reaches $10.00 per share and the last third of the warrants are exercisable when the price of the Company's common stock reaches $12.00 per share. Unexercised warrants will expire on June 20, 2022.

Additional detail about the amendment can be found in the Company's 8-K Disclosure Statement, a copy of which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2012, and is available at www.sec.gov.

Results of Operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

For the second quarter of 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $23,106,239 or $1.46 per share, based on a weighted average of 15,880,392 diluted shares outstanding. In the comparable second quarter of 2011, the Company reported net loss of $1,438,278 or $0.09 per share, based on a weighted average of 15,642,830 diluted shares outstanding.

The Company's revenues were earned from time and voyage charters. Gross time and voyage charter revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $50,537,281, compared with $81,135,090 recorded in the comparable quarter in 2011. The decrease in gross revenues is attributable primarily to lower charter rates and a decrease in voyage charter revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Gross revenues recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, include an amount of $1,205,276 and $1,271,810, respectively, relating to the non-cash amortization of fair value below contract value of time charters acquired. Brokerage commissions incurred on revenues earned in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $2,000,048 and $4,729,702, respectively. Net revenues during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were $48,537,233 and $76,405,388, respectively.

Total operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2012were $59,605,359compared with $66,123,996 recorded in the second quarter of 2011. The Company operated 45 vessels in the second quarter of 2012 compared with 41vessels in the corresponding quarter in 2011. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a reduction in chartered-in days and lower voyage expenses offset by the increase in operating a larger fleet size which includes increases in vessels crew cost, insurances and vessel depreciation expense. The increase in General and Administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the increase in allowance for bad debts.

EBITDA, adjusted for exceptional items under the terms of the Company's credit agreement, decreased by 65% to $9,969,683 for the second quarter of 2012, compared with $28,804,803 for the second quarter of 2011. (Please see below for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss).

Results of Operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported net loss of $40,539,768 or $2.56 per share, based on a weighted average of 15,815,594 diluted shares outstanding. In the comparable period of 2011, the Company reported net loss of $7,248,559 or $0.46 per share, based on a weighted average of 15,641,477 diluted shares outstanding.

The Company's revenues were earned from time and voyage charters. Gross revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012were $105,360,411, compared with $171,518,078 recorded in the comparable period in 2011. The decrease in gross revenues is attributable to lower time charter rates and a decrease in voyage revenues in the period, offset marginally by operating a larger fleet. Gross revenues recorded in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, include an amount of $2,434,040 and $2,566,329, respectively, relating to the non-cash amortization of fair value below contract value of time charters acquired. Brokerage commissions incurred on revenues earned in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $4,206,778 and $8,419,914, respectively. Net revenues during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, decreased 38% to $101,153,633 from $163,098,163 in the comparable period in 2011.

Total operating expenses were $119,723,715 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to $148,398,858 recorded in the same period of 2011. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a reduction in chartered-in days and lower voyage expenses offset by the increase in operating a larger fleet size which includes increases in vessels crew cost, insurances and vessel depreciation expense.  The decrease in General and Administrative expenses is primarily attributable to lower allowance for bad debts being booked in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011.

EBITDA, adjusted for exceptional items under the terms of the Company's credit agreement, decreased by 55% to $23,783,682 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $52,932,372 for the same period in 2011. (Please see below for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, was $1,463,360, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $26,445,490 during the corresponding six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower rates on charter renewals and from the operation of a larger fleet offset by a reduction in charter hire expenses and related voyages expenses.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the six-month period ended 2012, was $309,866, compared with net cash used in investing activities of $101,725,929 during the corresponding six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Investing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, related primarily to making progress payments and incurring related vessel construction expenses for the newbuilding vessels.

Net cash used in financing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $6,773,199 and $2,710,177, respectively. The increase was primarily due to additional expenses incurred related to the amendment and restatement of the Company's credit agreement.
 
 
As of June 30, 2012, our cash balance was $17,148,510, compared to a cash balance of $25,075,203 at December 31, 2011.  Also recorded in Restricted Cash is an amount of $291,891, of which $276,056 collateralizes letters of credit relating to our office leases.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA represents operating earnings before extraordinary items, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income taxes, if any. EBITDA is included because it is used by certain investors to measure a company's financial performance. EBITDA is not an item recognized by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA is presented to provide additional information with respect to the Company's ability to satisfy its obligations including debt service, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Our term loan agreement require us to comply with financial covenants based on debt and interest ratio with  extraordinary or exceptional items, interest, taxes, non-cash compensation, depreciation and amortization (Credit Agreement EBITDA). Therefore, we believe that this non-U.S. GAAP measure is important for our investors as it reflects our ability to meet our covenants.

Capital Expenditures and Drydocking

Our capital expenditures relate to the purchase of vessels and capital improvements to our vessels which are expected to enhance the revenue earning capabilities and safety of these vessels.

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, the Company's other major capital expenditures include funding the Company's maintenance program of regularly scheduled drydocking necessary to preserve the quality of our vessels as well as to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Although the Company has some flexibility regarding the timing of its dry docking, the costs are relatively predictable. Management anticipates that vessels are to be drydocked every two and a half years. Funding of these requirements is anticipated to be met with cash from operations. We anticipate that this process of recertification will require us to reposition these vessels from a discharge port to shipyard facilities, which will reduce our available days and operating days during that period.

Drydocking costs incurred are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next drydocking for those vessels are scheduled to occur. One vessel was drydocked in the three months ended June 30, 2012. The following table represents certain information about the estimated costs for anticipated vessel drydockings in the next four quarters, along with the anticipated off-hire days:

The date range provided represents the earliest and latest date on which the charterer may redeliver the vessel to the Company upon the termination of the charter. The time charter hire rates presented are gross daily charter rates before brokerage commissions, ranging from 0.625% to 6.25%, to third party ship brokers.
 
(2)
The charter rate does not include any shortfall between the vessels' actual daily earnings and the $17,000 per day for which KLC is responsible.
Revenue from KLC will be recognized when collectability is assured. In addition, through December 2015, we are entitled to100% of the profits on earnings between $17,000 to $21,000 per day and a 50% profit share on earnings above $17,000 per day from January 2016 to December 2018.
 
(3)
Upon conclusion of the previous charter, the vessel will commence a short-term charter for up to six months.
 
(4)
Index, an average of the trailing Baltic Supramax Index.
 
(5)
The charterer has an option to extend the charter by two periods of 11 to 13 months each.

Glossary of Terms:

Ownership days:  The Company defines ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in its fleet has been owned. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that is recorded during a period.

Chartered-in under operating lease days: The Company defines chartered-in under operating lease days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which the Company chartered-in vessels.
Available days:  The Company defines available days as the number of ownership days less the aggregate number of days that its vessels are off-hire due to vessel familiarization upon acquisition, scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and the aggregate amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

Operating days:  The Company defines operating days as the number of its available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

Fleet utilization: The Company calculates fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning. Our fleet continues to perform at very high utilization rates.

Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in our vessel operating expenses, including dry-docking and insurance costs, or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.

Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in our vessel operating expenses, including dry-docking and insurance costs, or actions taken by regulatory authorities, ability of our counterparties to perform their obligations under sales agreements, charter contracts, and other agreements on a timely basis, potential liability from future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists. Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
