What a once in a lifetime opportunity! Continues to buy, there is no more fear of exiting the main stock exchange.
The market may not understand the latest press release on earnings. It's down too much today.
In accordance with our dividend policy, and taking into account the above-listed factors, we expect to pay dividends only if during the preceding quarter Quarterly Cash Flow is positive and Quarter-End Excess Cash is also positive. As a general guideline, the amount of any such dividends is expected to be based on a pay-out ratio of the lower of i) Quarterly Cash Flow; and ii) Quarter-End Excess Cash. So long as our end of quarter outstanding debt exceeds our equity market capitalization our pay-out ratio is expected to be 50%. We will consider increasing the pay-out ratio gradually up to a maximum level of 90% that we may achieve when our end of quarter outstanding debt is less than 10% of our equity market capitalization. Quarter-End Excess Cash is defined as actual end of quarter Cash and Cash Equivalents over our Minimum Cash Threshold. Minimum Cash Threshold is defined as the sum of minimum liquidity pursuant to our loan agreements and $1.5 million per vessel. Our bank facilities currently require us to maintain minimum liquidity of $5.0 million.
The dividends are on the way
Crazy valuations . I might buy more after the R/S tomorrow.
Our basic earnings per share for the quarter annualized and compared to our current share price represent a price to earnings ratio of approximately 0.3.

Performance Shipping Inc. Announces New Loan Facility With Alpha Bank S.A. to Partially Finance Acquisition Of Seventh Vessel
November 01 2022 - 09:00AM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
Performance Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ: PSHG), (“we” or the “Company”), a global shipping company specializing in the ownership of tanker vessels, today announced that it has entered into an agreement for a secured term loan facility of up to approximately US$18,250,000 with Alpha Bank S.A. (the “Facility”) through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Proceeds from the Facility will be used to partially finance up to 50% of the purchase price of the previously-announced acquisition of the Company’s seventh tanker vessel, and its first LR2, to be renamed M/T P. Aliki.
The Facility will be repayable in twenty consecutive quarterly installments of US$500,000 each, and a balloon installment of US$8,250,000 payable concurrent with the twentieth quarterly installment. The Facility will be secured by, among other things, a guarantee of the Company and a first priority mortgage over the M/T P. Aliki.
Commenting on the Facility, Andreas Michalopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“As we have already stated, the addition of Alpha Bank as a new lender to our Company demonstrates confidence in Performance Shipping Inc., with a 5-year term loan facility maturing in late 2027 which reduces our cost of debt. We expect to drawdown this Facility upon delivery of our seventh vessel, the M/T P. Aliki.”

Pretty good report!
I bought earlier, the report is very good, the stock is going down because there is an update to the shelf prospectus, but there is really no issue. I also bought PSHG which is much cheaper.
How good is the IMPP report?
We got a big hint from IMPP's quarterly report about the next PSHG report.

Supposedly a turnaround stock. With no more refineries being built that is the thesis.
Common Stock Equity -5,644
BCDO has negative capital
Energy is the hottest sector
Check out BDCO. I don't have it but people I follow do.
In the perfect world yes.
Lers see what they do
Thanks for the head's up!
I added more shares, on Monday a similar company IMPP will publish a good report and this will be a clue to what will happen in PSHG.IMPP with 10 ships trades at a value of 70 million and PSHG with a larger quarterly profit and 8 ships trades at only 16 million.
Need to break 32s.
Strong Buys early - some die hard chatter. I'd enjoy a 7% gain today
Dont these guys have to hold a 1 share to stay listed..? RS coming..?
Tops caught my attention. But no othe shipper moving
We believe our common shares are significantly undervalued, as our current market capitalization represents about 10% of our estimated net asset value.”
WOW

PSHG has preferred shares also. There is a lot of financial engineering that goes
on in maritime shipping. I still have PSHG as my #1 choice. I believe that management is shareholder friendly otherwise I wouldn't like the stock.
TOPS's preferred shares don't bother you? I prefer PSHG
Sailing, making deliveries.....

My thoughts on 3 tiny maritime shipping stocks - ranking
1) PSHG I own, oil market is hot, undervalued, spot market, quicker return
2) GLBS Don't own, undervalued, coal+grain trade, should still have good earnings
3) TOPS Don't own, undervalued, new ships, on charters making it a longer term play
Welcome to maritime shipping!
Market is wound tight....

Lynn had it right (she may have been a stock trader). lol

No idea about the warrants. Don't have them.
Today above . 40 cents. How about the .45 warrants?
Money can be made in the shipping sector. This is where the small investor can get an edge. If not from capital appreciation then from dividends. Highly cyclical, highly volatile, a traders paradise indeed

Here's a gift for you guys. GLBS, a small dry bulker. I can't buy because it would be a wash sale violation. I estimate a 3-4 bagger from here. It made a move last couple of days. Enjoy the rides up!

Revenue was $31.5 million ($30.5 million net of voyage expenses) for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $16.7 million ($11.3 million net of voyage expenses) for the same period in 2022. This increase was attributable to the increased time-charter equivalent rates (TCE rates) achieved during the quarter. Fleetwide, the average time charter equivalent (a non-GAAP financial measure) rate for the second quarter of 2023 was $41,868, compared with an average rate of $24,921 for the same period in 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $22.1 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2022.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $34.1 million, compared to a net income of $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $22.5 million, and resulted in earnings per share, basic and diluted, of $2.43 and $1.00, respectively. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2022, amounted to $7.8 million, and resulted in a loss per common share, basic and diluted, of $27.29. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, has been adjusted by aggregate non-cash items of $10.6 million and $9.3 million respectively, as per US GAAP accounting standards, which do not affect the Company's operating cash flows, EBITDA or performance overall.
Commenting on the results of the second quarter of 2023, Andreas Michalopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“During the second quarter of 2023, tanker market fundamentals remained firm and our Company achieved a fleetwide average time charter equivalent rate of $41,868 per day. As a result, we generated record revenues of $31.5 million and record net income of $18.4 million during the quarter, representing increases of 88% and 375%, respectively, from the equivalent quarter in 2022. Our cash balance at the end of the quarter was approximately $70.7 million, corresponding to a 78% increase from the 2022 year-end cash balance and representing a multiple of 7.4x our current market capitalization. Our basic earnings per share for the quarter and the first six months ended June 30, 2023 were $1.53 and $2.43, respectively, compared to our closing share price on July 26, 2023 of $0.84.
“We believe that the solid tanker market environment will be sustainable through 2023 and beyond. Our fleet deployment during the previous fiscal year has well positioned our Company to capitalize on the firm freight rate environment through the operation of our renewed and expanded fleet, currently consisting of eight younger and high specification Aframax tankers. Specifically, five of our tankers currently operate under time charter contracts with first-class charterers, earning gross charter rates ranging from $23,000 to $45,000 per day and resulting in aggregate fixed revenues of approximately $52.3 million for the remainder of their charter periods. Our remaining vessels operate under pool arrangements with reputable counterparties. This strategy supplements our already secured revenue backlog and enhances our current profitability by capitalizing on the robust Aframax spot rates. To further solidify our market position, in the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a contract for the purchase of a newbuild LNG-ready LR2 Aframax tanker with a 2025 delivery date. This decision reflects the Company’s confidence in sustainable market fundamentals and higher asset values going forward.
“Despite what we consider to be strong market conditions in the sector, we believe that the value of our common shares remains extremely low when compared with our earnings and cash on hand. As previously announced, in response to our recent share price development, we have put in place a $2.0 million share buyback program, pursuant to which we have already repurchased 1,806,916 shares of common stock to date at an average price of $0.83 per share, of which approximately 1.7 million shares were repurchased during the second quarter. As we strongly believe that the program is in the best interests of both our Company and our shareholders, we will continue to take advantage of our strong balance sheet to invest opportunistically in our common stock through share buybacks under appropriate market conditions.”
Commenting on the charter, Andreas Michalopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“Following the recent announcement of our record financial results and net income of $15.7 million during the 2023 first quarter, we are pleased to announce the new time charter contract for our LR2 Aframax tanker, M/T P. Aliki. This contract commenced immediately after the expiration of the previous charter agreement with Trafigura Maritime Logistics Pte Ltd at a gross daily charter rate of $45,000.
“With a fixed floor daily rate of $45,000, this new contract boosts our fleet-wide revenue backlog to approximately $54 million, based on the minimum duration of each charter. In addition, it provides the opportunity to further enhance our current profitability by capitalizing on the robust Aframax spot charter rates, thanks to our partnership with the Charterer and the 50% share of the vessel’s earnings above the floor. With a term of 4 to 5.5 months, the M/T P. Aliki will be strategically positioned for new employment during the seasonally strong fall period. This contract reflects our solid relationships with reputable and creditworthy counterparties, such as ST Shipping & Transport Pte Ltd., which currently employs three of our tankers.”

Under the Plan, the Company may repurchase up to US$2.0 million of its outstanding common shares, representing approximately 21% of the market capitalization of its outstanding common shares as of the close of trading on April 3, 2023.
Andreas Michalopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“Rising interest rates, global economic uncertainty and the recent banking crisis have impacted capital markets and near-term sentiment. Following the recent share price development, we find it in our shareholders’ interest that the Company has the flexibility to repurchase our common stock as part of its capital allocation strategy. Given the strength of our balance sheet and our constructive long-term tanker market outlook, we will continue to invest opportunistically, including through share buybacks under appropriate conditions.”
The Company may repurchase common shares pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Any repurchases pursuant to the Plan will be made at management’s discretion at prices considered to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, applicable securities laws and the Company’s financial performance. The Plan may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The Plan does not obligate the Company to purchase any of its shares under the Plan. The Board of Directors’ authorization of the Plan is effective immediately and expires on March 31, 2024.
About the Company
Performance Shipping Inc. is a global provider of shipping transportation services through its ownership of tanker vessels. The Company employs its fleet on spot voyages, through pool arrangements and on time charters.
Revenue from continuing and discontinued operations was $27.8 million ($25.0 million net of voyage expenses) for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $9.6 million ($5.4 million net of voyage expenses) for the same period in 2021. This increase was attributable to the increased time-charter equivalent rates (TCE rates) achieved during the quarter. Fleetwide, the average time charter equivalent rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $40,469, compared with an average rate of $13,370 for the same period in 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2022, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing and discontinued operations was $23.7 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Net income from continuing and discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $36.3 million, compared to a net loss from continuing and discontinued operations of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net income from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $12.0 million, and resulted in earnings per share, basic and diluted, of $6.49 and $3.02, respectively. Net loss from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $9.7 million and resulted in a loss per common share of $28.97.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company issued and sold 140,379 shares of its common stock under its ATM Agreement with Virtu Americas LLC, with an average price per share of $3.59, raising gross proceeds of approximately $0.5 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 4,187,588 common shares issued and outstanding.
Commenting on the results of the fourth quarter of 2022, Andreas Michalopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“During the fourth quarter of 2022, tanker market fundamentals continued to improve, supported by new trade patterns emerging in response to continuing sanctions on Russian crude oil exports and shifts in the location of new refinery capacity leading to longer haul tanker voyages. We took advantage of the firm tanker charter rate environment, resulting in fleetwide average time charter equivalent rates of $40,469 and $29,579 per day during the fourth quarter and twelve months of 2022, respectively. As a result, we generated annual revenues of $75.2 million and annual net income from continuing operations of $36.3 million, a 106% and a 474% increase from the previous fiscal year, respectively. Our net income from continuing operations during the fourth quarter alone was $23.8 million, indicating the tightening tanker market conditions during the fourth quarter. Our cash balance at the end of the year was approximately $40 million representing 3.2x our current market capitalization. Our basic earnings per share for the last fiscal year compared to our current share price represent a price-to-earnings ratio of approximately 0.4x.
“We believe that the tanker market developments since the beginning of 2022 are sustainable through 2023 and beyond. During 2022 we expanded and renewed our fleet with timely acquisitions at values significantly below current levels and now own eight younger high-specification Aframax tankers with an average age of 12.1 years. Five of our tankers currently operate under time charter contracts with first-class charterers, earning gross charter rates ranging from $23,000 to $45,000 per day. Our secured revenue backlog of approximately $85 million is supplemented by the operation of our remaining vessels under pool arrangements with reputable counterparties earning healthy voyage charter rates, indicative of the solid freight rate environment.”

______________
(1) Discontinued Operations refer to our container vessels segment that we disposed of in 2020.
(2) Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire. The specific calculation counts as on-hire the days of the ballast leg of the spot voyages, as long as a charter party is in place. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.
(3) Time charter equivalent rates, or TCE rates, are defined as revenue (voyage, time charter and pool revenue), less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel) expenses, canal charges and commissions. TCE is a non-GAAP measure. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage (spot) charters, time charters and bareboat charters).
(4) Daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance and vessel registry, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the costs of spares and consumable stores, lubricant costs, tonnage taxes, regulatory fees, environmental costs, lay-up expenses and other miscellaneous expenses, are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant period.
