The earnings call presented a mixed outlook. While the company showed a significant increase in full-year net profit and declared a dividend, quarterly financial metrics such as revenue, EBITDA, and operating expenses showed declines. The strategic fleet management initiatives and positive market outlook provide optimism, but the increased costs and reduced quarterly performance indicate challenges.
Company Guidance
During the Golden Ocean Group Limited Q4 2024 earnings call, Interim CEO and CFO Peder Simonsen provided detailed guidance and metrics on the company's financial performance and strategic outlook. The company reported an adjusted EBITDA of $69.9 million for Q4, a decrease from $124.4 million in Q3, and a net income of $39 million, translating to earnings per share of $0.20. Full-year 2024 net profit surged to $223.2 million from $112.3 million in 2023. The fleet-wide net TCE rate was $20,800 per day, with Capesize and Panamax vessels achieving rates of $24,700 and $14,800 per day, respectively. Drydocking costs rose to $34.3 million for thirteen vessels, compared to $9.7 million for five vessels in Q3. The company declared a $0.15 per share dividend for Q4 and executed a purchase option for eight Capesize vessels for $112 million, partially financed by a $90 million credit facility, which will reduce cash breakeven by $1,000 per day. For Q1 2025, Golden Ocean secured TCE rates of $15,100 for 77% of Capesize days and $9,900 for 81% of Panamax days. The company anticipates a stronger market in the second half of 2025, supported by favorable drydocking timing and robust demand in emerging economies.
