«Το δεύτερο τρίμηνο του 2025 αποτέλεσε περίοδο εξέλιξης, καθώς συνεχίσαμε να οικοδομούμε πάνω στην ουσιαστική πρόοδο που σημειώθηκε το προηγούμενο τρίμηνο προς την επίτευξη των στρατηγικών μας στόχων. Παρόλο που δεν έχουμε έκθεση στην βραχυχρόνια αγορά πλοίων μεταφοράς υγροποιημένου φυσικού αερίου (LNG), η ανοδική πορεία των βραχυπρόθεσμων και spot ναυλαγορών αποτελεί ενθαρρυντικό γεγονός. Αυτό το θετικό περιβάλλον τιμών, σε συνδυασμό με την συνεχιζόμενη απόσυρση παλαιότερων πλοίων LNG, υποδεικνύει το αυξανόμενο οικονομικό κόστος και τις ρυθμιστικές πιέσεις που αντιμετωπίζουν τα πλοία παλαιότερης τεχνολογίας. Αναμένουμε ότι αυτή η τάση εξορθολογισμού θα συνεχιστεί, ενισχύοντας τη μακροπρόθεσμη αξία του στόλου τελευταίας γενιάς που διαθέτουμε.»
«Όσον αφορά στις μελλοντικές εξελίξεις, η αναπτυξιακή μας πορεία βασίζεται στην προγραμματισμένη παράδοση 16 νέων πλοίων μεταφοράς αερίων —συμπεριλαμβανομένων έξι πλοίων τελευταίας γενιάς μεταφοράς LNG και δέκα πλοίων κατάλληλων για μεταφορά υγραερίου, αμμωνίας και υγροποιημένου διοξειδίου του άνθρακα (LCO₂)— τα επόμενα τρία χρόνια. Είμαστε ικανοποιημένοι με την εξασφάλιση χρηματοδότησης με ευνοϊκούς όρους για δύο από τα πλοία μας υπό κατασκευή, γεγονός που ενισχύει σημαντικά τη σταθερότητα του επενδυτικού μας σχεδίου. Παράλληλα, βρισκόμαστε σε συνεχή διαπραγμάτευση με πιθανούς ναυλωτές για τα διαθέσιμα προς ναύλωση πλοία μας και συνεχίζουμε να εδραιώνουμε την παρουσία της Εταιρείας ως μια κορυφαία, εισηγμένη στις ΗΠΑ εταιρεία, που εξειδικεύεται στη μεταφορά LNG και στις σύγχρονες λύσεις μεταφοράς υγροποιημένων αερίων.»
ATHENS, Greece,(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –
Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp. (the “Company,” “CCEC”, “we” or “us”) (NASDAQ: CCEC), an international owner of ocean-going vessels, today released its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Key Quarterly Highlights • Announced dividend of $0.15 for the second quarter of 2025 • Secured financing for two of our vessels under construction The Company announced in November 2023 its decision to shift its strategic focus towards the transportation of various forms of gas to industrial customers, including liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) and emerging new commodities in connection with the energy transition. As a result, the Company agreed to acquire 11 newbuild LNG carriers (“LNG/Cs”) (the “Newbuild LNG/C Vessels”) and in June 2024, the Company further expanded its gas-focused portfolio with the acquisition of 10 gas carriers, including four LCO2/multi gas and six LPG-ammonia carriers (the “Gas Fleet”). Since December 2023, the Company has also completed the sale of 12 container vessels. In view of this strategic shift, we present our financial results on a continuing operations basis, except for where reference is made to discontinued operations. Financial results from continuing operations include revenues, expenses and cash flows arising from our 15 vessels currently in-the-water, including 12 latest generation LNG/Cs and three 13,000 twenty equivalent unit (“TEU”) Neo-Panamax container vessels. Financial results from discontinued operations include revenues, expenses and cash flows arising from the 12 container vessels we have sold following the announcement of our strategic shift in November 2023. Please refer to Appendix A Discontinued Operations. 2 Key Financial Highlights (continuing operations) Three-month period ended June 30, 2025 2024 Increase/ (Decrease) Revenues $104.2 million $82.1 million 27% Expenses $47.6 million $40.0 million 19% Interest expense and finance cost $28.9 million $30.7 million (6%) Net Income $29.9 million $12.3 million 143% Average number of vessels1 15.0 12.7 18% Management Commentary Mr. Jerry Kalogiratos, Chief Executive Officer of CCEC, commented: “The second quarter of 2025 marked a period of consolidation, as we continued to build upon the significant progress achieved in the prior quarter toward our strategic objectives. While we have no exposure to the spot LNG market, it is encouraging to see short-term and spot charter rates trending upward. This positive pricing environment, combined with the continued retirement of older LNG carriers, underscores the growing economic cost and regulatory pressures on legacy tonnage. We anticipate this rationalization trend to persist, further reinforcing the long-term value of our latest generation fleet.” “Looking ahead, our growth trajectory is underpinned by the scheduled delivery of 16 gas carriers—including six latest-generation LNG carriers and ten LPG, ammonia, and LCO₂-capable vessels—over the next three years. We are pleased to have secured financing for two of our newbuilds on attractive terms, significantly de-risking our capital plan. Concurrently, we remain in active discussions with potential charterers for our open vessels and continue to position the Company as a leading U.S.-listed platform dedicated to LNG and broader gas shipping solutions.” Overview of Second Quarter 2025 Results Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $29.9 million, compared with net income of $12.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. 1 Average number of vessels is measured by aggregating the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during the period and dividing such aggregate number by the number of calendar days in the period. 3 Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $104.2 million, compared to $82.1 million during the second quarter of 2024. The increase in revenue was attributable to the delivery of three Newbuild LNG/C Vessels during the second quarter of 2024. The average number of vessels in our fleet increased to 15.0 from 12.7 in the same quarter of last year. Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, were $47.6 million, compared to $40.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. Total vessel operating expenses during the second quarter of 2025 amounted to $17.4 million, compared to $15.3 million during the second quarter of 2024. The increase in vessel operating expenses was mainly due to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet. Total expenses for the second quarter of 2025 also include vessel depreciation and amortization of $24.2 million, compared to $19.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in depreciation and amortization during the second quarter of 2025 was attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 amounted to $3.9 million, up from $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, on the back of higher costs incurred in connection with our equity compensation incentive plan. Total other expenses, net for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, were $26.6 million compared to $29.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. Total other expenses, net include interest expense and finance cost of $28.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $30.7 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in interest expense and finance cost was mainly attributable to the decrease in the weighted average interest rate charged on our debt, partly set off by the increase in our average indebtedness compared to the second quarter of 2024. Company Capitalization As of June 30, 2025, total cash amounted to $357.2 million. Total cash includes restricted cash of $21.5 million, which represents the minimum liquidity requirement under our financing arrangements. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s total shareholders’ equity amounted to $1,438.9 million, an increase of $95.9 million compared to $1,343.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase for the six months to June 30, 2025 reflects net income (including net income from discontinued operations) of $110.5 million, amortization associated with the equity incentive plan of $2.9 million, net proceeds of $0.2 million under the Company’s ATM Program (as defined below) and other comprehensive income of $0.2 million relating to the net effect of the cross-currency swap agreement we designated as an accounting hedge, partly offset by distributions declared and paid during the period in a total amount of $17.8 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s total debt was $2,564.7 million before deferred financing costs, reflecting a decrease of $33.6 million compared to $2,598.3 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease is attributable to the scheduled principal payments for the period of $66.1 million, partly offset by a $32.5 million increase in the U.S. Dollar equivalent, as of June 30, 2025, of the euro-denominated bonds issued by CPLP Shipping Holdings Plc in July 2022 and October 2021. 4 As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average margin on our floating debt amounting to $2,035.6 million was 1.7% over SOFR and the weighted average interest rate on our fixed rate debt amounting to $529.1 million was 4.4%. Under-Construction Fleet Update The Company’s under-construction fleet includes six latest generation LNG/Cs (comprising the remaining Newbuild LNG/C Vessels that have not yet been delivered to the Company) and the Gas Fleet. The following table sets out the Company’s schedule of expected capex payments for its under-construction fleet as of June 30, 2025
