Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company's Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"We are pleased to report another profitable quarter for Seanergy, despite the challenging macroeconomic and market conditions. Our Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend of $0.025 per share, consistent with our dividend policy and strategy of rewarding shareholders. Over the last four quarters, total cash dividend distributions have been approximately $22.5 million or $0.125 per share, which implies a 25% yield based on our closing price on November 29, 2022. Together with the successful execution of our two previous repurchase plans, we have deployed approximately $49.2 million to securities buybacks and cash dividends since Q4 2021.

"Regarding our financial performance in the third quarter, we have achieved TCE Revenues of $32.1 million, resulting in a daily TCE of $20,614. This represents a 51% premium to the average Baltic Capesize Index ("BCI") earnings during the same period. For the first nine months of 2022 our daily TCE was $20,996, comparing favorably to the average daily BCI of $16,580. For Q1 2023, we also expect significant premium, compared to the relevant quoted forward freight agreements ("FFAs"), as we analyze further in this release. The decision to focus on acquiring premium quality vessels in combination with our commercial strategy and proactive freight hedging activities, have so far been able to mitigate the effects of a slowing dry bulk market. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter and nine months of 2022 amounted to $19.0 million and $53.1 million, respectively, while Net Income for the quarter and nine-month period was approximately $7.1 million and $16.7 million, respectively.

"Concerning our commercial developments, four of our vessels secured new time charter ("T/C") employment or extended their existing agreements since our last update. The time charters are index-linked and all of them were concluded at premiums over the BCI. In addition, we managed to improve the scrubber profit sharing scheme for the scrubber-fitted vessels that were due for renewal. Within the next two quarters several of our scrubber-fitted vessels will start earning a considerably higher share of the scrubber premium, further strengthening our operational revenues.

"On the ESG and energy efficiency front, during the quarter we continued the installation of energy saving devices on an additional vessel. Similar to the rest of our fleet, these improvements will ensure the marketability of this vessel well into the future by keeping pace with the high environmental demands of first-class charterers. We have also continued the biofuel trials with two major clients and are in process of evaluating similar prospects with more of our close charterers.

"On the financing front, we continue our balance sheet optimization initiatives, having concluded $108.3 million in new financings and refinancing in 2022 to-date. In October, we closed a $28.0 million loan facility with a major European lender to refinance the $23.6 million indebtedness secured by two of our vessels on improved pricing terms. Following this refinancing, we have successfully addressed all remaining loan maturities for the current year, while ensuring sufficient liquidity that will allow us to mitigate a softer market environment and to evaluate opportunities to expand and renew our fleet.

"With dry bulk fleet growth at the lowest levels on record, we remain confident in the long-term prospects of the market and are constantly evaluating our options with respect to returning capital to shareholders and accretive vessel acquisitions."
