ATHENS, Greece and NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heidmar Maritime Holdings Corp. (the "Company" or "Heidmar") (NASDAQ: HMR) today reported its results for the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2025.
Second Quarter 2025 Highlights
- Total net revenue of $9.6 million, up 23% from $7.8 million in Q2 2024.
- Net loss attributable to shareholders from continuing operations of $0.1 million or $0.002 per share.
- Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million, which excludes $0.6 million in non-cash stock-based compensation.
- Cash and cash equivalents of $11.3 million as of June 30, 2025
Adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders is not a measurement recognized under US GAAP (GAAP) and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for Heidmar's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" later in this Press Release for the definitions and reconciliation of this measurement to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
SECOND QUARTER 2025 RESULTS COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2024
Total revenue, earned mainly from commissions, management fees and time charter hire, was $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $1.8 million is mainly attributable to the time charter revenue generated from the Platform Supply Vessel ("PSV") ACE Supplier, which commenced operations on its charter in April 2025.
FIRST HALF 2025 RESULTS COMPARED TO FIRST HALF 2024
Total revenue, earned mainly from commissions, management fees and time charter hire, was $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, down $1.2 million from $16.4 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the number of vessels under management and the termination of two time-charter syndication agreements, partially offset by increased revenues from the PSV ACE Supplier.
Key quarterly highlights:
- On June 30, 2025, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") to acquire from a related party the C/V A. Obelix, a 1,702 TEU feeder container vessel that was built in 2008 at Wadan/Aker Yards, Wismar Germany. The C/V A. Obelix will be delivered with an approximate 2.5 year time charter. The aggregate purchase price is $25.25 million, which is supported by seller and debt financing. Delivery is expected during September 2025 and is subject to customary closing conditions. The charter is expected to generate approximately $17.0 million to $20.0 million in total EBITDA over the course of the charter.
- In July 2025, the Company secured a term loan facility of an amount up to $12.4 million with a financial institution to partially fund the acquisition of the C/V A. Obelix. The expected financing amount shall not exceed the lower of 50% of the vessel's purchase price or 75% of the vessel's charter-free market value. The term of the loan is 6.5 years, bears interest at a margin over SOFR and will be repayable in 20 quarterly instalments.
- The Company expects to draw on the Seller's Credit for around $11.0 million to fund the remainder of the vessel's cost. The Seller's Credit is a short-term 12-month facility at a fixed interest rate.
- Following a strategic review, the Company decided to sell the non-core and loss-making flagpole business run under Americana Liberty LLC to its former management. On June 27, 2025, we completed the disposal of our subsidiary Americana Liberty LLC that was inherited as part of the business combination with MGO Global Inc. The total consideration amounted to $0.45 million and comprised 37,128 of our common shares received at closing, $0.19 million in cash to be received on June 30, 2026 and the same by March 31, 2027. The sale resulted in a loss from discontinued operations of $13.6 million that includes the impairment of goodwill of $11.1 million that was recognized in the first quarter of 2025. Financial results from discontinued operations include revenues, expenses and cash flows arising from Americana Liberty LLC.
- On June 6, 2025, the Company entered into a common share purchase agreement and a registration rights agreement (collectively the "Purchase Agreement") with B. Riley Principal Capital II LLC ("BRPC II"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to sell to BRPC II up to $20.0 million worth of our common shares in one or more transactions from time to time. BRPC II is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). During the month of July 2025, the Company issued and sold 85,492 shares at an average per share price of $1.54 gross, generating proceeds of $127,000.
- The PSV ACE supplier, commenced operations on its charter in April 2025 and is on a five year employment contract. This resulted in the recognition of a right of use ("ROU") asset and ROU liability in the Balance sheet. The ROU liability is partly recognized as current and partly as long term in the balance sheet. The PSV Ace Supplier generates revenue which is recognized as "Time charter revenue" and the relevant expense is recorded in "Operating lease expenses" in the statement of operations.
Management Commentary
Pankaj Khanna, Chief Executive Officer of Heidmar, commented:
"We are going through some unprecedented times as policy decisions and geopolitics are causing significant market uncertainty. While this has resulted in a pause in investments in certain sectors it has created opportunities in shipping with oil tankers and containers seeing near-term benefits. Increase in OPEC+ production month after month is driving unseasonal strength in tanker freight rates during Q3. While the inefficiencies generated by tariffs, shifting manufacturing and the continued closure of the Red Sea is leading to stronger container vessel earnings. Even bulk carriers have benefitted from a short-term squeeze, and rates have improved somewhat.
Q2 2025 marked a pivotal moment for Heidmar, as the Company agreed to acquire its first vessel as a public company, the C/V A. Obelix, a feeder container ship secured under a multi-year time charter. This marks the formal activation of Heidmar's project development business, a cornerstone of our strategy to offer end-to-end solutions for institutional and private investors seeking exposure to shipping. We have been working on the financing of the deal and I am pleased to report the finalization of a 6.5 year term loan facility at a competitive margin for a first-time owner of ships.
This strategic development occurred alongside the commencement of operations of the PSV Ace Supplier and the continued buildout of Heidmar's technical and corporate management capabilities, allowing Heidmar to provide a seamless, high-compliance operating model from vessel sourcing to daily technical and commercial management operations, corporate and financial administration. The platform now enables the Company to serve a wide range of clients, from shipping companies to large funds and family offices, across multiple vessel classes and transaction types.
Our reported results were primarily impacted by non-cash and non-operational accounting items, mainly tied to post-merger adjustments and non-recurring restructuring charges. Excluding these effects, Heidmar's core business remained operationally sound, with adjusted performance metrics close to breakeven and supported by stable revenue generation.
Looking ahead, Heidmar remains focused on scaling our two primary business lines maritime services and project development, including the purchase of a container vessel, and is actively evaluating new vessel investment opportunities across multiple segments to drive long-term value creation."

Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation:
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") represent net (loss)/income from continuing operations before interest and finance costs/(income), net, depreciation and amortization and income taxes, if any, during a period. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and the non-cash expense relating to the fair value of the earnout shares, which the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as we believe that these measures are useful to investors as a widely used means of evaluating operating profitability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Heidmar considers Adjusted net income from continuing operations to represent net (loss)/income before certain non-cash items, including the loss on the fair value of the earnout shares and amortization of stock-based compensation. We have included adjustments for these items because we believe they assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of the Company's fundamental performance from period to period by excluding the potentially disparate effects these items may have from period-to-period. Adjusted net income from continuing operations per share attributable to shareholders equals Adjusted net income from continuing operations per share attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted net income from continuing operations does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss)/ income from continuing operations, as determined by GAAP. The Company's definition of Adjusted net income from continuing operations may not be the same as that used by other companies in shipping or other industries. Adjusted net income from continuing operations is not adjusted for all non-cash income and expense items that are reflected in our statement of cash flows.
