T.S. Lines Limited Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Strong rebound in profitability and revenue (2024 revenue up 53.29% YoY; net profit margin improved to 27.29%), supported by a very strong balance sheet (85.05% equity ratio, low 0.08 debt-to-equity, 18.53% ROE). Offsetting this, free cash flow turned negative in 2024 and total assets declined from 2022–2024, indicating cash/asset utilization risks.

Income Statement

The company showed a strong revenue growth from 2023 to 2024, with a 53.29% increase, and turned its gross profit from a negative in 2023 to a positive in 2024. The gross profit margin for 2024 was 23.51%, indicating improved cost management. The net profit margin also improved significantly from 2.37% in 2023 to 27.29% in 2024. However, the EBIT margin shows a volatile history and was relatively stable at 25.73% for 2024. This indicates a recovery from previous financial challenges but still requires close monitoring of margins.

Balance Sheet

T.S. Lines Limited maintains a strong equity position with an equity ratio of 85.05% in 2024, indicating financial stability. The debt-to-equity ratio is low at 0.08, suggesting limited leverage and low financial risk. Return on Equity (ROE) for 2024 was robust at 18.53%, showing effective use of equity to generate profits. However, the overall decrease in total assets from 2022 to 2024 suggests potential asset management issues that need attention.

Cash Flow

The free cash flow turned negative in 2024, indicating potential cash management challenges. Operating cash flow to net income ratio was healthy at 1.31 in 2024, showing strong cash generation relative to net income. However, free cash flow to net income ratio was negative, highlighting concerns about capital expenditures impacting cash flow. Overall, while cash flows from operations remain strong, the negative free cash flow indicates areas needing improvement in cash management.

T.S. Lines Sells Container Vessel TS SHENZHEN to Connected Party, Books Disposal Gain and Agrees Short-Term Charter

T.S. Lines Limited has agreed to sell its container vessel TS SHENZHEN, owned by a wholly owned subsidiary and registered in the Marshall Islands, to a company controlled by its controlling shareholders’ family for US$23 million, representing a premium over the vessel’s net asset value of about US$15.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and implying an expected disposal gain of roughly US$7.3 million, subject to final audit. The company has also entered into a short-term charter arrangement under which another wholly owned subsidiary will charter the same vessel from January 24 to March 31, 2026, with both the disposal and chartering classified as connected transactions under Hong Kong listing rules—requiring disclosure but largely exempt from shareholder approval—which underscores governance considerations while providing the group with immediate capital and short-term operational continuity.
