Reflecting On Marine Transportation Stocks’ Q2 Earnings: Pangaea (NASDAQ:PANL)
Earnings results often indicate what direction a company will take in the months ahead. With Q2 behind us, let’s have a look at Pangaea (NASDAQ:PANL) and its peers. The growth of e-commerce and global trade continues to drive demand for shipping services, presenting opportunities for marine transportation companies. While ocean freight is more fuel efficient and therefore cheaper than its air and ground counterparts, it results in slower delivery times, presenting a trade off. To improve transit speeds, the industry continues to invest in digitization to optimize fleets and routes. However, marine transportation companies are still at the whim of economic cycles. Consumer spending, for example, can greatly impact the demand for these companies’ offerings while fuel costs can influence profit margins. Geopolitical tensions can also affect access to trade routes, and if certain countries are banned from using passageways like the Panama Canal, costs can spiral out of control. The 5 marine transportation stocks we track reported a strong Q2. As a group, revenues beat analysts’ consensus estimates by 1.7%. In light of this news, share prices of the companies have held steady as they are up 1.5% on average since the latest earnings results. Established in 1996, Pangaea Logistics (NASDAQ:PANL) specializes in global logistics and transportation services, focusing on the shipment of dry bulk cargoes. Pangaea reported revenues of $187.1 million, up 19.4% year on year. This print fell short of analysts’ expectations by 2.9%. Overall, it was a mixed quarter for the company with a beat of analysts’ EPS estimates. "Our strong execution, fleet positioning and favorable market conditions combined to generate robust year-over-year growth on both our top and bottom line in the second quarter," stated Mads Boye Petersen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions. Pangaea delivered the weakest performance against analyst estimates in the group. Interestingly, the stock is up 4% since reporting and currently trades at $7.62.

Over the past year, investors have been forced to repeatedly answer the same question: what is the market’s biggest risk? The answer has changed several times, and each shift has reshaped market leadership. Late in 2025 and early 2026, artificial intelligence became the market’s primary uncertainty. Investors questioned whether AI would erode software pricing power and weaken competitive moats as AI made it easier to replicate once-differentiated products. By the spring, technology took a back seat to geopolitics. The U.S. conflict with Iran briefly became the market’s dominant narrative, raising concerns about oil prices, inflation, and global growth. But as energy markets remained orderly and fears of a prolonged supply disruption faded, investors quickly turned their focus back to fundamentals.

With that, I would like to turn the call over to Mads. Mads Petersen: Thank you, Stefan, and welcome to those joining us on the call today. We generated strong results in both revenue and profitability during the second quarter. Our financial performance was driven by strong execution across both our owned and chartered-in fleet as well as balanced positioning of our assets to take advantage of stronger overall demand, especially in Asia. Robust markets contributed to a 50% increase in our TCE rates for the second quarter. Notably, our TCE rates averaged 10% above the prevailing market for the Panamax, Supramax and Handysize indices. This premium reflects the benefits of our fleet positioning strategy, the value of our operating platform, long-standing customer relationships and ability to manage a volatile market effectively. We generated significant operating leverage from the favorable market environment with second [ year ] quarter adjusted EBITDA growing by nearly $20 million year-over-year to $35 million. Just as important, these results highlight the value of the business model, which allows us to protect and, in many cases, expand our margins in dynamic market environments. We actively managed volatile fuel markets through hedging and contract terms, while our continued focus on fleet positioning and backhaul trades allowed us to capture arbitrage opportunities. Our balanced approach to fleet deployment, including a greater concentration of vessels in the Pacific region contributed positively and our increased exposure to shorter-term time charters enabled us to benefit from positive developments in our core Atlantic markets. Strong execution across our chartered-in business underscores our ability to translate favorable conditions into positive margins. We continue to grow our onshore logistics platform in the second quarter, commencing operations at the Port of Tampa. Tampa joins our operations at Aransas and Lake Charles, all under multiyear contracts that started operations within the last 12 months. Terminal and stevedore revenue grew 11% year-over-year to approximately $4 million. We continue to expect roughly $3 million of incremental EBITDA from these operations on a full year basis. Specifically, this is recurring revenue business that deepens our integration into customer supply chains beyond ocean freight and it pairs naturally with our Supramax and Handysize fleet. We also advanced our fleet renewal strategy. During the second quarter, we completed the previously announced sale of the 2006-built Bulk Xaymaca for $9.6 million. This follows the sale of the Bulk Freedom late last year, also for $9.6 million. And together, these transactions reflect a consistent approach of monetizing older tonnage at attractive values avoiding the capital and off-hire associated with upcoming dry dockings and steadily improving the efficiency and environmental profile of our fleet. We will continue to selectively and opportunistically invest in modern, high-quality vessels that fit our commercial model, remaining disciplined on price and transacting only when the returns are clear. Looking at the market, demand for dry bulk commodities carried positive momentum through the first half of the year, driven by increased trade in both iron ore and grain compared to last year. That strength was broad-based, supporting earnings not only in the larger Capesize segment, but also across the midsized and smaller classes where we are most active. Minor bulk trades, which are central to our cargo book, likewise grew compared to the prior year. Encouragingly, this momentum continued into the third quarter. Our outlook for the balance of 2026 remain positive. At the market level, we expect moderate fleet growth to be broadly offset by comparable ton-mile demand with the continued disruption and lengthening of trade routes, translating measured cargo volume growth into stronger ton-mile demand, which is what ultimately drives utilization and freight rates. For Pangaea specifically, the second half carries a well-established seasonal tailwind as our high ice class fleet is most active during the Arctic summer trading season, which peaks in the third quarter and tapers through the fourth, typically driving our strongest utilization and earnings from these specialized higher-margin trades. Through today, we have booked 4,873 shipping days at a TCE of $20,258 per day for the third quarter. In summary, our second quarter results highlighted the value of our commercial platform and dynamic fleet positioning. As we enter the second half of the year, our results will further reflect the strategic advantages of our specialized ice-class fleet and long-term contracts, which command a durable premium to the market. Our growing onshore terminal network adds a recurring layer of earnings with a long runway ahead and our modern fleet and strong balance sheet lets us fund growth and return capital at the same time. With fundamentals supportive and our strongest seasonal quarters just beginning, we are focused on converting these advantages into sustained earnings growth and lasting value for shareholders. With that, I'll turn the call over to Gianni to walk through our second quarter financial results. Gianni DelSignore: Thank you, Mads, and welcome to those joining us on the call today. Our second quarter financial results were highlighted by sustained TCE premiums relative to the prevailing market. Second quarter TCE rates were $18,153 per day, a premium of 10% over the average published market rate of $16,502 per day for Panamax, Supramax and Handysize vessels in the period. Our adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $35 million, a year-over-year increase of nearly $20 million, driven by a 50% increase in TCE rates. Our total charter hire expense increased by 24% compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to an increase in market rates to charter-in vessels. Our charter-in cost on a per day basis was approximately $16,816 per day in the second quarter. And through today, we booked 2,200 days at $17,537 per day for the third quarter. Vessel operating expenses were essentially flat year-over-year. On a per day basis, through the second quarter of 2026, vessel operating expenses, including technical management fees, was $6,247 per day, a 2% increase from the prior year. Total general and administrative expenses increased by 25% from $7.2 million to approximately $9 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation expense due to improved results, along with higher compensation costs associated with added headcount across the organization as we grow our business. In total, our reported GAAP net income for the second quarter was $10.2 million or $0.16 per diluted share. Our GAAP net income included a significant unrealized loss resulting from our hedging strategy on bunker fuel exposure. The decline in fuel prices late in the second quarter decreased the fair value of our bunker derivatives. Some of these same derivatives translated into significant unrealized gain during the first quarter as fuel prices increased due to the escalation of the conflict with Iran. The first quarter's unrealized gain and the second quarter's unrealized loss essentially offset each other, leaving us in a neutral position for the year. More importantly, all of our hedges are placed against our own bunker requirements over the course of the year, keeping our fuel cost management aligned with our actual physical consumption. When excluding the impact of the second quarter unrealized loss from derivative instruments as well as other non-GAAP adjustments, our reported adjusted net income was $16.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. Moving on to cash flows. Our strong profitability during the quarter resulted in robust operating cash flow. This, combined with $9.7 million of cash proceeds received from the sale of the Bulk Xaymaca during the quarter drove our unrestricted cash balance to $105 million. At quarter end, we had total debt, including finance lease obligations of approximately $350 million. And to note, our current portion of long-term debt increased to $40 million due to a $24 million balloon payment, which we expect to refinance in the coming months. We are also pleased to announce an increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.10 per share. This increase reflects the strengthening fundamentals and the balance sheet of the business and underscores our commitment to returning capital to shareholders, consistent with the disciplined capital allocation strategy we have always followed. Looking ahead, we will continue to allocate capital with a focus on preserving financial flexibility, supporting the growth of our integrated logistics platform and returning capital to shareholders. We remain focused on investments that enhance the durability of our earnings base, including the expansion of our terminal and port service capabilities and ongoing fleet renewal initiatives that improve efficiency, support customer needs and position us for evolving regulatory requirements. With that, we will now open the line for questions. Operator: [Operator Instructions] Perhaps we might be having some technical difficulty as we reconnect our speakers. And do we have our speakers with us yet? Okay. It does look like we do have our speakers back with us. Are you with us speakers? Gianni DelSignore: Yes, we're back online. Operator: Okay. Okay. Perfect. Just for a moment, and I'm going to get the queue going, I apologize. And we'll start with our first question from Liam Burke with B. Riley Securities. Liam Burke: Mads, you talked about activity in the Pacific region. Is this a new strategy for you? I typically think of your fleet active in the Atlantic with very little activity in Asia. Have you changed your positioning strategy at all? Mads Petersen: No, I don't think it's a result of that. But of course, we want to grow in that region. And I think just as a result of our larger fleet and larger scale, we need to take advantage of the opportunities we see out there. And I also -- earlier in the year, we saw positive momentum. So we may be positioned a little bit more on our ships out there than we've had in the past. So it's a dynamic business, and we'll go wherever we feel we get the best returns. So it's a combination, I would say. Liam Burke: Okay. Great. Gianni, you talked about a balloon payment due this year. You have plenty of cash. How do you balance refinancing versus just taking your cash balance, paying it down? And I'll throw in the question of raising the dividend. And how do you balance everything? Gianni DelSignore: Yes, it's what we look at all the time, Liam. And what we're seeing as far as margins on debt facilities, we're really seeing competitive rates on margins. The market seems to be reacting and there's a lot of opportunities for some well-priced debt. So we're looking at it. The balloon payment I referenced it's in a joint venture. It's our Nordic Bulk Holding Company joint venture with Glencore. So we will look at that with our partners and decide what to do. But our expectation looking at that one specifically is to roll it out and refinance it. Cash is -- shipping, it's volatile. We look at opportunities. We want to be opportunistic. So if we can keep some cash and look at different vessel opportunities as they present themselves and be a little bit more nimble, that's -- I think that's how we think about our capital going forward is really being opportunistic when we see something in the market. Operator: [Operator Instructions] We'll take our next with Poe Fratt with AG Partners. Charles Fratt: I'd like to follow up on the comment about the Pacific trade or Pacific region. Are there any particular cargoes that are driving that? And then secondly, can you highlight whether that has continued to enter the third quarter? Or sort of how you look at that over the second half of the year? Mads Petersen: I wouldn't say that it's a specific cargo that sort of drives that growth in earnings. And I do see that we have -- the markets have rebalanced a bit in terms of the Atlantic trading up and the Pacific maybe flattening a little bit. So I'm not envisioning sort of in the short term a huge change to how we employ the ship. It was, I think, more of an opportunistic look at where we could get the best returns in the short term, mainly because the Pacific seems to be a little bit more disrupted from the activities in the Strait of Hormuz than the Atlantic. So we saw an opportunity there. Charles Fratt: Great. And then when you look at your owned fleet, you just sold one. What are you seeing opportunities on either side of the equation to either sell assets or buy assets? Can you just give me an idea of what the tone of the S&P market looks like to you right now? Mads Petersen: I think it's absolutely firm. Values are high, and we take advantage of that when we are looking at the older ships in our fleet that is coming up against some of the fourth or the fifth special survey and take advantage of that liquid market for ships in that age group. On the other side of it, we are always looking at ships from the secondhand market to add to the fleet. But we are quite determined to only pursue the assets that are attractive to us from a specification and price point. And in the meantime, we can, in the short term, at least substitute with a little bit more activity in the charter-in part of the business. Charles Fratt: Okay. And then can you just Mads if wouldn't mind highlighting your drydocking activity over the next 12 months, the second half of the year and into the first half of '27? Gianni DelSignore: Poe, I can run through that. It's -- for the second half of the year, we have about 9 more dry dockings to go. And we're estimating about $14 million of costs associated with that. And then next year, we have a little bit of a lighter year compared to 2025 and 2026. So really, it's the second half of this year, maybe early next year, where we have those 9 dry dockings and about $14 million of costs associated. Operator: And at this time, we have no further questions. So I'd like to turn it back to our speakers for any closing comments. Mads Petersen: Once again, thank you for joining our call. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [email protected]. And a member of our team will follow up with you. This concludes our call today. Operator: We'd like to thank everybody for joining this conference today. We appreciate your time and participation, and you may now disconnect.

The 5 Most Interesting Analyst Questions From Pangaea’s Q2 Earnings Call
Pangaea Logistics’ second quarter was marked by a mix of operational strength and market disappointment, as the company missed Wall Street’s revenue expectations but delivered higher-than-expected non-GAAP profit and adjusted EBITDA. The negative market reaction centered on the revenue shortfall, despite management attributing performance to effective fleet positioning and a premium on charter rates—particularly in the Pacific region. CEO Mads Petersen noted a more dynamic deployment strategy, emphasizing the company’s ability to secure rates 10% above market averages through a combination of asset flexibility and strong customer relationships. Management also highlighted the value of its onshore logistics platform, with new terminal operations contributing recurring revenue. Is now the time to buy PANL?

Charles Fratt (AG Partners) requested details on upcoming dry dockings and associated costs. DelSignore stated that nine dry dockings are planned for the second half, with estimated costs of $14 million, followed by a lighter schedule next year. In the coming quarters, our analyst team will be evaluating (1) utilization and rate premiums for Pangaea’s ice-class fleet during the Arctic trading season, (2) the pace and profitability of terminal revenue growth—especially from the recently launched Tampa operations, and (3) the effectiveness of fleet renewal efforts, including sales of older vessels and selective new acquisitions. We will also monitor the company’s ability to maintain margin discipline amid market volatility and regulatory changes. Pangaea currently trades at $7.44, up from $7.33 just before the earnings.

Vessel operating expenses, including technical management fees, were $6,247 per day through the second quarter, up 2% from the prior year. General and administrative expenses increased 25% to approximately $9 million, primarily reflecting higher incentive compensation and added headcount. → 3 Dividend Champion Utilities for a Market That Can't Sit Still Del Signore said GAAP earnings included an unrealized loss on bunker fuel derivatives after fuel prices declined late in the quarter. He said those losses largely offset unrealized gains recorded during the first quarter, when fuel prices increased amid an escalation in the conflict with Iran. Management said the hedges are tied to the company’s expected bunker fuel requirements and physical consumption. The company continued to expand its onshore logistics platform during the quarter, beginning operations at the Port of Tampa. Tampa joins recently launched operations at Port Aransas and Lake Charles, each operating under multiyear contracts that began within the past 12 months. → Is Wingstop's Growth Story Losing Steam? Terminal and stevedore revenue increased 11% year over year to about $4 million. Petersen said Pangaea continues to expect approximately $3 million in incremental EBITDA from the operations on a full-year basis. The terminal network provides recurring revenue and expands the company’s role in customers’ supply chains beyond ocean freight, management said. Pangaea also completed the sale of the 2006-built Bulk Xaymaca for $9.6 million during the quarter. The transaction followed the late-2025 sale of the Bulk Freedom, also for $9.6 million. Petersen said the asset sales reflect the company’s approach of selling older vessels before upcoming drydockings while improving the efficiency and environmental profile of its fleet. Management said vessel values remain firm and that it will continue to consider secondhand vessel acquisitions selectively, focusing on assets that meet its specifications and return requirements. Petersen said the company can also use chartered-in tonnage to supplement its fleet in the near term. Petersen said the company increased its Pacific exposure earlier in the year after seeing favorable market momentum and opportunities for returns. He characterized the shift as opportunistic rather than a fundamental change in Pangaea’s deployment strategy. “It’s a dynamic business, and we’ll go wherever we feel we get the best return,” Petersen said. He added that the Pacific appeared more disrupted by activity in the Strait of Hormuz than the Atlantic, creating an opportunity for the company. Management said dry bulk commodity demand remained positive in the first half, supported by higher iron ore and grain trade as well as growth in minor bulk trades. Pangaea expects moderate fleet growth to be broadly offset by comparable growth in ton-mile demand, including from longer and disrupted trade routes. For the third quarter, Pangaea had booked 4,873 shipping days at a TCE rate of $20,258 per day as of the call. Its Arctic summer trading season, when its high ice-class fleet is most active, generally peaks in the third quarter and tapers through the fourth quarter. The company also had booked 2,200 charter-in days for the third quarter at approximately $17,537 per day. Strong operating cash flow and $9.7 million of proceeds from the Bulk Xaymaca sale increased unrestricted cash to $105 million at quarter-end. Total debt, including finance lease obligations, was approximately $350 million. The current portion of long-term debt increased to $40 million, including a $24 million balloon payment that management expects to refinance in coming months. Del Signore said the payment is associated with Nordic Bulk Holding, the company’s joint venture with Glencore, and that Pangaea expects to evaluate refinancing with its partner. Pangaea increased its quarterly dividend to $0.10 per share. Del Signore said the company intends to preserve financial flexibility while supporting terminal expansion, fleet renewal and shareholder returns.

The company intends to grow in the region as fleet scale increases, though markets have recently begun rebalancing back toward the Atlantic. Management intends to refinance the upcoming $24 million balloon payment rather than using cash, citing competitive rates and well-priced debt availability. Maintaining a high cash balance ($105 million) is prioritized to remain nimble and opportunistic for secondhand vessel acquisitions. The S&P market is described as 'absolutely firm' with high asset values, prompting the sale of older ships facing expensive special surveys. Management is substituting owned-fleet growth with increased charter-in activity while waiting for attractive price points on modern secondhand tonnage.

Today's call is being recorded and will be available for replay beginning at 11:00 A.M. Eastern. The recording can be accessed by dialing 800-925-9941 for domestic or 402-220-5395 for international. All lines are currently muted, and after the prepared remarks, there will be a live question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during the Q&A segment, please press star one on your phone. If your question has been answered, you may remove yourself from the queue at any time by pressing star two. We do ask that you please pick up your handsets for optimal sound quality.
It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to Stefan Neely with Vallum Advisors. Please go ahead.
Thank you, operator, and welcome to the Pangaea Logistics Solutions Second Quarter 2026 Results Conference Call. Leading the call with me today are CEO, Mads Petersen, and Chief Financial Officer, Gianni Del Signore. Today's discussion contains forward-looking statements about future business and financial expectations. Actual results may differ significantly from those projected in today's forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties, including the risks described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update our forward-looking statements. At the conclusion of our prepared remarks, we will open the line for questions. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Mads.
Thank you, Stefan, and welcome to those joining us on the call today. We generated strong results in both revenue and profitability during the second quarter. Our financial performance was driven by strong execution across both our owned and chartered in fleet, as well as balanced positioning of our assets to take advantage of stronger overall demand, especially in Asia. Robust markets contributed to a 50% increase in our TCE rates for the second quarter. Notably, our TCE rates averaged 10% above the prevailing market for the Panamax, Supramax, and Handysize indices. This premium reflects the benefits of our fleet positioning strategy, the value of our operating platform, long-standing customer relationships, and ability to manage a volatile market effectively. We generated significant operating leverage from the favorable market environment, with second quarter adjusted EBITDA growing by nearly $20 million year-over-year to $35 million.
Just as important, these results highlight the value of the business model, which allows us to protect and in many cases expand our margins in dynamic market environments. We actively managed volatile fuel markets through hedging and contract terms, while our continued focus on fleet positioning and backhaul trades allowed us to capture arbitrage opportunities. A balanced approach to fleet deployment, including a greater concentration of vessels in the Pacific region, contributed positively. Our increased exposure to shorter term time charters enabled us to benefit from positive developments in our core Atlantic markets. Strong execution across our charter-in business underscores our ability to translate favorable conditions into positive margins. We continue to grow our onshore logistics platform in the second quarter, commencing operations at the Port of Tampa. Tampa joins our operations at Port Aransas and Lake Charles, all under multi-year contract that started operations within the last 12 months.
Terminal and stevedore revenue grew 11% year over year to approximately $4 million. We continue to expect roughly $3 million of incremental EBITDA from these operations on a full year basis. Specifically, this is recurring revenue business that deepens our integration into customer supply chains beyond ocean freight, and it pairs naturally with our Supramax and Handysize fleet. We also advanced our fleet renewal strategy. During the second quarter, we completed the previously announced sale of the 2006-built Bulk Xaymaca for $9.6 million. This follows the sale of the Bulk Freedom late last year, also for $9.6 million, and together these transactions reflect a consistent approach of monetizing older tonnages at attractive values, avoiding the capital and off-hire associated with upcoming drydockings, and steadily improving the efficiency and environmental profile of our fleet.
We will continue to selectively and opportunistically invest in modern, high-quality vessels that fit our commercial model, remaining disciplined on price and transacting only when the returns are clear. Looking at the market, demand for bulk commodities carried positive momentum through the first half of the year, driven by increased trade in both iron ore and grain compared to last year. That strength was broad-based, supporting earnings not only in the larger Capesize segment, but also across the midsize and smaller classes where we are most active. Minor bulk trades, which are central to our cargo book, likewise grew compared to the prior year. Encouragingly, this momentum continued into the third quarter. Our outlook for the balance of 2026 remains positive.
At the market level, we expect moderate fleet growth to be broadly offset by comparable ton mile demand, with the continued disruption and lengthening of trade routes translating massive cargo volume growth into stronger ton mile demand, which is what ultimately drives utilization and freight rates. For Pangaea specifically, the second half carries a well-established seasonal tailwind as our high ice class fleet is most active during the Arctic summer trading season, which peaks in the third quarter and tapers through the fourth, typically driving our strongest utilization and earnings from these specialized higher margin trades. Through today, we have booked 4,873 shipping days at a TCE of $20,258 per day for the third quarter. In summary, our second quarter results highlighted the value of our commercial platform and dynamic fleet positioning.
As we enter the second half of the year, our results will further reflect the strategic advantages of our specialized ice class fleet and long-term contract, which commands a durable premium to the market. Our growing onshore terminal network has a recurring layup earnings with a long runway ahead, and our modern fleet and strong balance sheet lets us fund growth and return capital at the same time. With fundamentals supportive and our strongest seasonal quarters just beginning, we are focused on converting these advantages into sustained earnings growth and lasting value for shareholders. With that, I'll turn the call over to Gianni to walk through our second quarter financial results.
Thank you, Mads, and welcome to those joining us on the call today. Our second quarter financial results were highlighted by sustained TCE premiums relative to the prevailing market. Second quarter TCE rates were $18,153 per day, a premium of 10% over the average published market rate of $16,502 per day for Panamax, Supramax, and Handysize vessels in the period. Our adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $35 million, a year-over-year increase of nearly $20 million, driven by a 50% increase in TCE rates. Our total charter hire expense increased by 24% compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to an increase in market rates to charter in vessels. Our charter-in cost on a per-day basis was approximately $16,816 per day in the second quarter. Through today, we've booked 2,200 days at $17,537 per day for the third quarter.
Vessel operating expenses were essentially flat year-over-year. On a per-day basis through the second quarter of 2026, vessel operating expenses, including technical management fees, was $6,247 per day, a 2% increase from the prior year. Total general and administrative expenses increased by 25%, from $7.2 million to approximately $9 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation expense due to improved results, along with higher compensation costs associated with added headcount across the organization as we grow our business. In total, our reported GAAP net income for the second quarter was $10.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. Our GAAP net income included a significant unrealized loss resulting from our hedging strategy on bunker fuel exposure. The decline in fuel prices late in the second quarter decreased the fair value of our bunker derivatives.
Some of these same derivatives translated into significant unrealized gain during the first quarter as fuel prices increased due to the escalation of the conflict with Iran. The first quarter's unrealized gain and the second quarter's unrealized loss essentially offset each other, leaving us in a neutral position for the year. More importantly, all of our hedges are placed against our own bunker requirements over the course of the year, keeping our fuel cost management aligned with our actual physical consumption. When excluding the impact of the second quarter unrealized loss from derivative instruments, as well as other non-GAAP adjustments, our reported adjusted net income was $16.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. Moving on to cash flows. Our strong profitability during the quarter resulted in robust operating cash flow.
This, combined with $9.7 million of cash proceeds received from the sale of the Bulk Xaymaca during the quarter, drove our unrestricted cash balance to $105 million. At quarter end, we had total debt, including finance lease obligations, of approximately $350 million. To note, our current portion of long-term debt increased to $40 million due to a $24 million balloon payment, which we expect to refinance in the coming months. We are also pleased to announce an increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.10 per share. This increase reflects the strengthening fundamentals and the balance sheet of the business and underscores our commitment to returning capital to shareholders, consistent with the disciplined capital allocation strategy we have always followed. Looking ahead, we will continue to allocate capital with a focus on preserving financial flexibility, supporting the growth of our integrated logistics platform, and returning capital to shareholders.
We remain focused on investments that enhance the durability of our earnings base, including the expansion of our terminal and port service capabilities and ongoing fleet renewal initiatives that improve efficiency, support customer needs, and position us for evolving regulatory requirements. With that, we will now open the line for questions.
Thank you. As a reminder, at this time, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your touchtone telephone. If at any point you find your question has been answered, you may remove yourself from the queue by pressing star two. Again, it is star one to ask a question, and we're going to be pausing briefly for questions to queue. Okay, and we'll start with our first question from Liam Burke with B. Riley Securities.
Thank you. Good morning, Mads. Good morning, Gianni.
Morning.
Mads, you talked about activity in the Pacific region. Is this a new strategy for you? I typically think of your fleet active in the Atlantic, with very little activity in Asia. Have you changed your positioning strategy at all?
No, I don't think it's a result of that, but of course, we want to grow it in that region. I think just as a result of our larger fleet and larger scale, we need to take advantage of the opportunities we see out there. Also, early in the year, we saw positive momentum. So we maybe positioned a little bit more of our ships out there than we've had in the past. It's a dynamic business, and we'll go wherever we feel we get the best return. So it's a combination, I would say.
Okay, great. Gianni, you talked about a balloon payment due this year. You have plenty of cash. How do you balance refinancing versus just taking your cash balance, paying it down? I'll throw in the question of raising the dividend, and how do you balance everything?
Yeah, it's what we look at all the time, Liam, and what we're seeing as far as margins on debt facilities, we're really seeing competitive rates on margins. The market seems to be reacting, and there's a lot of opportunities for some well-priced debt. So we're looking at it. The balloon payment I referenced, it's in a joint venture. It's our Nordic Bulk Holding company joint venture with Glencore. So we will look at that with our partners and decide what to do. But our expectation, looking at that one specifically, is to roll it out and refinance it. Cash is shipping, it's volatile. We look at opportunities. We want to be opportunistic.
If we can keep some cash and look at different vessel opportunities as they present themselves and be a little bit more nimble, I think that's how we think about our capital going forward, is really being opportunistic when we see something in the market.
Great. Thank you, Mads. Thank you, Gianni.
Yep.
Again, that is star one if you would like to ask a question. Again, at any time your question's been answered, you may remove yourself from the queue by pressing star two. We'll take our next question with Poe Fratt with AG Partners. Please go ahead.
Yeah, good morning. I'd like to follow up on the comment about the Pacific trade or Pacific region. Are there any particular cargoes that are driving that? Then secondly, can you highlight whether that has continued into the third quarter or sort of how you look at that over the second half of the year?
I wouldn't say that it's a specific cargo that sort of drives that growth in earnings. I do see that the markets have rebalanced a bit in terms of the Atlantic trading off and the Pacific maybe flattening a little bit. I'm not envisioning, sort of in the short term, a huge change to how we employ the ship. It was, I think, more of an opportunistic look at where we could get the best returns in the short term, mainly because the Pacific seemed to be a little bit more disrupted from the activities in the Strait of Hormuz than the Atlantic. We saw an opportunity there.
Great. Thank you, Mads. When you look at your own fleet, you know, you just sold one, are you seeing opportunities on either side of the equation to either sell assets or buy assets? Can you just give me an idea of what the tone of the S&P market looks like to you right now?
I think it's absolutely firm. Values are high, and we take advantage of that when we are looking at the older ships in our fleet that are coming up against some of the default of the fifth special survey and take advantage of that liquid market for our ships in that age group. On the other side of it, we are always looking at ships from the second market to add to the fleet. But we are quite determined to only pursue the assets that are attractive to us from a specification and price point, and in the meantime, we can, in the short term at least, substitute with a little bit more activity in the charter-in part of the business.
Okay. Can you just, Mads, if you wouldn't mind highlighting your dry docking activity over the next 12 months, second half of the year into the first half of 2027?
Yeah, Poe, I can run through that. For the second half of the year, we have about nine more dry dockings to go, and we're estimating about $14 million of cost associated with that. Next year, we have a little bit of a lighter year compared to 2025 and 2026. So really, it's the second half of this year, maybe early next year, where we have those nine dry dockings and about $14 million of cost associated.
Great. Thank you so much.
Yep. Thanks, Poe.
Thank you. At this time, we have no further questions, so I'd like to turn it back to our speakers for any closing comments.

Pangaea (NASDAQ:PANL) Reports Sales Below Analyst Estimates In Q2 CY2026 Earnings
Pangaea Logistics (NASDAQ:PANL) fell short of the market’s revenue expectations in Q2 CY2026, but sales rose 19.4% year on year to $187.1 million. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.26 per share was 10.6% above analysts’ consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Pangaea? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $187.1 million vs analyst estimates of $192.8 million (19.4% year-on-year growth, 2.9% miss) Adjusted EPS: $0.26 vs analyst estimates of $0.24 (10.6% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $35.01 million vs analyst estimates of $33.96 million (18.7% margin, 3.1% beat) Operating Margin: 11.4%, up from 2.3% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 12%, up from 8.5% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $485.4 million "Our strong execution, fleet positioning and favorable market conditions combined to generate robust year-over-year growth on both our top and bottom line in the second quarter," stated Mads Boye Petersen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions. Established in 1996, Pangaea Logistics (NASDAQ:PANL) specializes in global logistics and transportation services, focusing on the shipment of dry bulk cargoes. A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Thankfully, Pangaea’s 7.8% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was decent. Its growth was slightly above the average industrials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers. We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within industrials, a half-decade historical view may miss cycles, industry trends, or a company capitalizing on catalysts such as a new contract win or a successful product line. Pangaea’s annualized revenue growth of 18.7% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand recently accelerated. This quarter, Pangaea’s revenue grew by 19.4% year on year to $187.1 million but fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 6.5% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last two years.

This projection is underwhelming and indicates its products and services will face some demand challenges. ONE MORE THING: The $21 AI Application Stock Wall Street Forgot. While Wall Street obsesses over who’s building AI, one company is already using it to print money. And nobody’s paying attention. AI chip stocks trade at ridiculous valuations. This company processes a trillion consumer signals monthly using AI and trades at a third of the price. The gap won’t last. The institutions will figure it out. You need to see this first. Read the FREE Report Before They Notice. Operating margin is one of the best measures of profitability because it tells us how much money a company takes home after procuring and manufacturing its products, marketing and selling those products, and most importantly, keeping them relevant through research and development. Pangaea has managed its cost base well over the last five years. It demonstrated solid profitability for an industrials business, producing an average operating margin of 10.4%. This result was particularly impressive because of its low gross margin, which is mostly a factor of what it sells and takes huge shifts to move meaningfully. Companies have more control over their operating margins, and it’s a show of well-managed operations if they’re high when gross margins are low. Analyzing the trend in its profitability, Pangaea’s operating margin decreased by 4.9 percentage points over the last five years. This raises questions about the company’s expense base because its revenue growth should have given it leverage on its fixed costs, resulting in better economies of scale and profitability. In Q2, Pangaea generated an operating margin profit margin of 11.4%, up 9.1 percentage points year on year. The increase was driven by stronger leverage on its cost of sales (not higher efficiency with its operating expenses), as indicated by its larger rise in gross margin. Revenue trends explain a company’s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth — for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions. Pangaea’s full-year EPS dropped 132%, or 23.4% annually, over the last four years. We tend to steer our readers away from companies with falling revenue and EPS, where diminishing earnings could imply changing secular trends and preferences. If the tide turns unexpectedly, Pangaea’s low margin of safety could leave its stock price susceptible to large downswings. Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a more recent period because it can provide insight into an emerging theme or development for the business. Sadly for Pangaea, its EPS declined by 1.4% annually over the last two years while its revenue grew by 18.7%. This tells us the company became less profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded. Diving into the nuances of Pangaea’s earnings can give us a better understanding of its performance. A two-year view shows Pangaea has diluted its shareholders, growing its share count by 41.3%. This dilution overshadowed its increased operational efficiency and has led to lower per share earnings. In Q2, Pangaea reported adjusted EPS of $0.26, up from negative $0.02 in the same quarter last year. This print easily cleared analysts’ estimates, and shareholders should be content with the results. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Pangaea’s full-year EPS to grow 27.9% from $0.70 to $0.90. It was good to see Pangaea beat analysts’ EPS expectations this quarter. We were also happy its EBITDA outperformed Wall Street’s estimates. On the other hand, its revenue missed. Overall, this was a weaker quarter. The stock traded down 4% to $7.07 immediately after reporting. Is Pangaea an attractive investment opportunity at the current price? If you’re making that decision, you should consider the bigger picture of valuation, business qualities, as well as the latest earnings. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it’s free.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY "Our strong execution, fleet positioning and favorable market conditions combined to generate robust year-over-year growth on both our top and bottom line in the second quarter," stated Mads Boye Petersen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions. "Our performance reflects our focus on the positioning of our fleet to enable us to capitalize on back haul opportunities and expand our presence in the Pacific market. While shipping days were down compared to the prior year period, we generated an increase in TCE rates of 50% year-over-year and outperformed market rates by 10%. In our Atlantic markets, we increased our exposure to shorter-term time charters and executed well with our chartered-in business by taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities and efficiently trade our owned vessels, which further enhanced our second quarter financial results." "Demand for dry bulk shipping has been strong through the first half of the year," Petersen noted. "Chinese iron ore imports and the transport of grains from the Atlantic to Asia have been key factors underpinning market fundamentals thus far in 2026. These favorable dynamics have continued into the third quarter, and quarter-to-date we have executed 4,873 shipping days at an average TCE of $20,258 per day, as we enter our premium summer ice class season." "Our strong second quarter profitability drove increased cash flow during the second quarter, which enhanced our liquidity position. Our financial flexibility enables us to take a balanced, returns-focused approach to capital," continued Petersen. "We continue to prioritize sustainable returns of capital and selective organic growth investments, all with the objective of enhancing long-term shareholder value. During the quarter, we advanced our port expansion strategy with the start-up of operations at Port Tampa Bay, Florida." "Looking ahead, we are focused on maintaining commercial discipline, efficient execution across our platform and continuing to grow our integrated logistics capabilities," concluded Petersen. "With a dynamic operating model, a strong liquidity position and a clear capital allocation strategy, we believe Pangaea is well positioned to navigate changing market conditions while continuing to create value for shareholders." STRATEGIC UPDATE Pangaea remains committed to developing a leading dry bulk logistics and transportation services company of scale, providing its customers with specialized shipping and supply chain and logistics offerings in commodity and niche markets that drive premium returns measured in time charter equivalent per day. Growing our combined shipping and logistics model. Pangaea continues to grow its integrated shipping and logistics model to deliver increased value across the dry bulk supply chain. In addition to operating a specialized fleet of dry bulk vessels, the Company provides stevedoring services and maintains port and terminal operations capabilities that complement its core shipping platform. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company continued to advance its organic growth strategy by scaling its port and terminal operations with the start-up of new operations at Port Tampa Bay, Florida. This investment is designed to expand the Company's logistics activities, strengthen customer relationships and support long-term growth through a broader service offering. Continue to drive strong fleet utilization. Pangaea delivered strong fleet utilization during the second quarter, supported by strategic fleet positioning to capitalize on back haul opportunities as well as on a favorable demand environment in the Pacific. The Company's owned fleet of 38 vessels operated at high efficiency, supplemented by an average of 26 chartered-in vessels to fulfill cargo and COA commitments. Following the successful integration of the recently acquired handy-size fleet, Pangaea remains focused on optimizing utilization across its expanded platform and enhancing flexibility to meet the evolving needs of its customers. Continue to upgrade fleet, while divesting older, non-core assets. Pangaea continues to execute its disciplined fleet renewal strategy, selectively investing in modern assets to support TCE performance, comply with evolving regulatory standards and meet customer cargo requirements. In February 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the 2006-built Bulk Xaymaca for $9.6 million, a transaction that was completed in the second quarter of 2026. These actions reflect Pangaea's continued commitment to maintaining a modern, efficient fleet and divesting older, non-core assets. SECOND QUARTER 2026 CONFERENCE CALL The Company's management team will host a conference call to discuss the Company's financial results on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time (ET). Accompanying presentation materials will be available in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at https://www.pangaeals.com/investors/. To participate in the live teleconference: To listen to a replay of the teleconference, which will be available through August 18, 2026: INFORMATION ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. As used herein, "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release discusses non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net revenue and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. This is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures for internal financial and operational decision making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of the performance and results of operations of our core business. Our management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our core business by excluding charges that are not incurred in the normal course of business. Non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal planning and comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity. We believe certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance and operational results of our core business. Adjusted gross profit. Adjusted gross profit is defined as GAAP gross profit excluding transportation and service depreciation and amortization. Management believes this measure provides investors with additional insight into the operating performance of the Company's shipping, terminal and stevedoring operations by excluding non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses associated with vessels and terminal and stevedoring assets. Adjusted gross profit is not a measure recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to gross profit, operating income or net income. The Company's definition of adjusted gross profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, adjusted for interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and, when applicable, certain items that management does not consider indicative of core operating performance, including vessel impairment charges, share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, gains or losses on vessel sale or sale and leaseback transactions, and other non-operating or non-recurring items. Earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Adjusted earnings per share represents net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd., adjusted when applicable for items such as vessel impairment charges, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, gains or losses on vessel sale or sale and leaseback transactions, and certain non-recurring items, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. The table above provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(NASDAQ: PANL) and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Pangaea" or the "Company") provides seaborne drybulk logistics and transportation services as well as terminal and stevedoring services.
