EuroDry (NASDAQ:EDRYGet Free Report) released its quarterly earnings data on Wednesday. The company reported $0.12 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.42 by ($0.30), Zacks reports. The firm had revenue of $12.79 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $15.62 million. EuroDry had a negative net margin of 8.16% and a negative return on equity of 6.83%.

Here are the key takeaways from EuroDry’s conference call:

  • EuroDry reported Q1 2026 net revenues of $12.8 million, up 38.9% year over year, with net income of $0.26 million and adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 million. Management said stronger charter rates and improved fleet utilization drove the better results.
  • The company’s fleet performance improved materially, with 100% commercial utilization and 99.7% overall utilization in the quarter. Average TCE rose to $14,416/day versus $7,167/day a year earlier, and the company said rates remain above its cash breakeven level.
  • EuroDry expanded its newbuilding program by ordering two 82,000 dwt Kamsarmax vessels for about $74 million, alongside two Ultramaxes already on order. The company said financing will likely be a mix of debt and equity, with delivery expected in Q1-Q2 2028.
  • Management said the dry bulk market has started 2026 stronger than expected, with spot and one-year charter rates improving and market fundamentals supported by healthy trade flows. They also noted a low global order book and limited fleet growth could support freight rates over the medium term.
  • The company continues to balance share repurchases and fleet investment, having bought back 348,000 shares for $5.6 million under its program. Management also said some older Panamax vessels could become sale candidates later if secondhand prices stay elevated, but no decision has been made yet.
