Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2016

Pangaea announces positive earnings and cash flow

NEWPORT, RI - August 15, 2016 - Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. (“Pangaea” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PANL), a global provider of comprehensive maritime logistics solutions, announced today its results for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Second Quarter Highlights

Net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. was $0.1 million, compared to net income of $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2015

Pro forma adjusted earnings per common share¹ of $0.004 for 2016 compared to pro forma adjusted earnings per common share of $0.15 in the second quarter of 2015

Adjusted EBITDA² decreased to $4.3 million for 2016, compared with $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2015

Cash flow from operations was $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared with $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015

At the end of the second quarter, Pangaea had $32.4 million in cash and cash equivalents

General and administrative expenses decreased 25% to $2.9 million from $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Edward Coll, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions, commented, “This quarter saw us continue to use our unique business model, coupled with rigorous expense management, to remain profitable in the face of a very difficult shipping market. Despite the ongoing challenges presented by the declining growth in demand for the cargoes we carry, combined with too many ships on the water, we have maintained a healthy balance sheet and generated positive cash flow from our operations. This is a testament to both our strategy and our world class team.”

Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $0.1 million, or $0.004 per common share compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $0.15 per common share for the same period of 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The change was primarily attributable to the continued weakness in the drybulk shipping market and to the reduction in the TCE rate attributable to the amended COA that employs three of the Company's vessels on a continuous basis. Pangaea’s strategy of relying on COAs and minimizing risks associated with falling market rates by chartering vessels into our fleet only as necessary to perform under the COAs and firm contracts has continued to serve the Company well. This flexible fleet strategy reduces the risk of idle time in an environment with limited profitable fronthaul employment.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 declined 13% to $57.0 million from $65.1 million in 2015. This decline in total revenue was primarily attributable to the weak market.

¹ Earnings per share represents total earnings allocated to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Pro forma adjusted earnings per share represents adjusted total earnings allocated to common stock divided by the weighted average number of shares. See Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted Earnings Per Share.

² Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and represents operating earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-operating income and/or expense, if any. See Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted Earnings Per Share.

Mr. Coll noted, "Although rates have improved slightly from earlier this year the market continues to be very challenged. While we are optimistic that the market has bottomed and begun to rationalize, the timing of a recovery remains impossible to predict. Beyond the already difficult dry bulk market fundamentals, macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty and shocks such as Brexit continue to be headwinds. However, thanks to our financial strength, unique expertise in less-commoditized trades and deep relationships with customers, financial sponsors, and other stakeholders, we have been able to continue to selectively grow our business. We are confident these steps will not only produce results in the near-term, but will also be rewarded even more richly in the long-term when the cycle turns.”

Cash and cash equivalents were $32.4 million as of June 30, 2016, compared with $37.5 million on December 31, 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $10.0 million, compared to $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release discusses non-GAAP financial measures, including (1) non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and (2) non-GAAP pro forma adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”). These are considered non-GAAP financial measures 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 these 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 these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our core business by excluding non-cash losses on impairment of vessels and non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal planning and comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity. We believe these 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.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd., Adjusted EBITDA, and pro forma adjusted EPS. Adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. represents net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus non-cash losses on impairment of vessels and non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and loss on impairment of vessels. Earnings per share represents total earnings allocated to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

There are limitations related to the use of non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd., adjusted EBITDA, and pro forma adjusted EPS versus net income, income from operations, and EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP. In particular, Pangaea’s definition of adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd., adjusted EBITDA, and pro forma adjusted EPS used here is not comparable to net income, EBITDA, and EPS. Management provides specific information in order to reconcile the GAAP or non-GAAP measure to adjusted net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd., adjusted EBITDA, and pro forma adjusted EPS.

The table set forth above provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charter hire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charter hire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in per-day amounts. $- $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $3,000,000 $4,000,000 $5,000,000 $6,000,000 $7,000,000 $8,000,000 $9,000,000 Q3-15 Q4-15 Q1-16 Q2-16 Adjusted EBITDA (1) $- $2,000 $4,000 $6,000 $8,000 $10,000 $12,000 $14,000 Q3-15 Q4-15 Q1-16 Q2-16 TCE (2) $(6,000,000) $(5,000,000) $(4,000,000) $(3,000,000) $(2,000,000) $(1,000,000) $- $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $3,000,000 $4,000,000 Q3-15 Q4-15 Q1-16 Q2-16 Net Income
