May 28, 2026 – Athens, Greece – Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (“Seanergy” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SHIP), a leading pure-play Capesize owner and operator, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, and announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share. This represents Seanergy’s 18^th consecutive quarterly dividend under its capital return policy, underscoring the Company’s commitment to disciplined capital allocation and consistent shareholder returns.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company generated Net Revenues of $42.9 million, compared to $24.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net Income and Adjusted Net Income for the quarter were $9.7 million and $13.4 million, respectively, compared to Net Loss of $6.8 million and Adjusted Net Loss of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter were $23.6 million and $28.1 million, respectively, compared to $6.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively, for the same period of 2025. The fleet achieved a daily Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) of $24,219 for the first quarter of 2026, representing a 6% premium over the average Baltic Capesize Index - 180 (“BCI-180”) of $22,902 for the same period.

Cash and cash-equivalents and restricted cash, as of March 31, 2026, stood at $68.8 million. Stockholders’ equity at the end of the first quarter was $289.3 million. Long-term debt (senior loans and other financial liabilities) net of deferred charges stood at $319.7 million, while the book value of the fleet was $530.5 million, including instalments paid for vessels under construction.

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

“Seanergy delivered a very strong first quarter, with Adjusted EPS of $0.63 and Adjusted EBITDA of $28.1 million, up 251% year-over-year, demonstrating the earnings power of our pure-play Capesize platform, despite the seasonally weakest period of the year. Reflecting on this performance and our disciplined capital return policy, we are pleased to declare our 18^th consecutive quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, bringing cumulative distributions to $2.84 per share since program inception.

“We have meaningfully advanced our fleet renewal program, contracting three additional newbuilding vessels at leading shipyards in China and Japan, and agreeing to sell one of our older Capesize vessels at firm secondhand pricing. Since launch, the program now comprises six modern eco-design newbuildings and three older vessel disposals, a significant upgrade to fleet quality, efficiency and long-term earnings capacity. To date, Seanergy has advanced approximately $69 million from internal funds toward our newbuilding program, while financing for four vessels has already been agreed at attractive terms.

“Our newbuilding strategy combines disciplined growth with risk management. Based on advanced discussions with leading charterers, we expect these vessels to secure multi-year time charters with downside protection above cash breakeven, complemented by profit-sharing mechanisms preserving meaningful upside exposure. The combination of attractive early delivery dates in a tight global newbuilding market, competitive financing, and selective disposals represents capital allocation positioned to deliver compelling long-term returns.

³   Blended Q2 TCE estimated on approx. 83% of Q2 available days already fixed and FFA rates as of May 26, 2026.

“The Capesize market has started 2026 on a strong footing, supported by resilient Chinese iron ore demand, continued growth in bauxite trades, rising West African iron ore exports, and healthy coal volumes. The energy security issues raised by the Middle East crisis and the expectations of strong El Nino weather pattern are expected to further support ton mile demand for the rest of the year. At the same time, effective fleet supply remains constrained due to limited new deliveries, slower sailing speeds, and an aging Capesize fleet. While macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties remain, we remain encouraged by the underlying strength in ton-mile demand and the medium-term supply backdrop.

“With a modernizing fleet, disciplined risk management and a clear capital allocation strategy, we believe Seanergy is optimally positioned to continue creating value for shareholders heading into a structurally supportive 2027-2029 market window.”

Company Fleet:

Fleet Data:

(U.S. Dollars in thousands)

(2)

Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. Available days are the number of ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to major repairs, dry-dockings, lay-up or special or intermediate surveys. Operating days include the days that our vessels are in ballast voyages without having finalized agreements for their next employment. The Company’s calculation of operating days may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

(3)

Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that the vessels are generating revenue and is determined by dividing operating days by ownership days for the relevant period. Fleet Utilization is used to measure a company’s ability to efficiently find suitable employment for its vessels and minimize the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for unforeseen events. We believe it provides additional meaningful information and assists management in making decisions regarding areas where we may be able to improve efficiency and increase revenue and because we believe that it provides useful information to investors regarding the efficiency of our operations. The Company’s calculation of fleet utilization may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

(4)

TCE rate is defined as the Company’s net vessel revenue less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of the Company’s operating days during the period. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel oil and diesel oil) expenses, canal charges and other commissions. The Company includes the TCE rate, which is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP, as it believes it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with net revenues from vessels, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and because it assists the Company’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because the Company believes that it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. The Company’s calculation of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the Company’s net revenues from vessels to the TCE rate.

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except operating days and TCE rate)

		Q1 2026				Q1 2025
Vessel revenue, net			42,446				23,676

Daily Vessel Operating Expenses		$	7,181			$	6,629

Net income / (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation:

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") represents the sum of net income / (loss), net interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, loss on forward freight agreements, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, and loss / (gain) on FX derivatives (“Other, net” in statement of operations), which the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented 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.

Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) Reconciliation and calculation of Adjusted Earnings / (Loss) Per Share

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data)

			Q1 2026				Q1 2025
	Net income / (loss)			9,651				(6,829	)
	Stock based compensation			2,582				1,539
	Loss on extinguishment of debt (non-cash)			1,053				18
	Loss / (gain) on FX derivatives			133				(180	)
	Adjusted net income / (loss)			13,419				(5,452	)
	Dividends to non-vested participating securities			(68	)			(34	)
	Undistributed earnings to non-vested participating securities			(85	)			-
	Adjusted net income / (loss)  – common shareholders			13,266				(5,486	)
	Adjusted earnings / (loss)  per common share, basic and diluted			0.63				(0.27	)
	Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, basic and diluted			20,930,586				20,156,636

To derive Adjusted Earnings / (loss) Per Share, a non-GAAP financial measure, from Net Income / (loss), we adjust for dividends and undistributed earnings to non-vested participating securities and exclude non-cash items, as provided in the table above. We believe that Adjusted Net Income / (loss) and Adjusted Earnings / (loss) Per Share assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period since each such measure eliminates the effects of such non-cash items as loss on extinguishment of debt, stock based compensation, loss / (gain) on FX derivatives and other items which may vary from year to year, for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In addition, we believe that the presentation of the respective measure provides investors with supplemental data relating to our results of operations, and therefore, with a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business  than with GAAP measures alone. Our method of computing Adjusted Net Income / (loss) and Adjusted Earnings / (loss) Per Share may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Second Quarter 2026 TCE Rate Guidance:

As of the date hereof, approximately 83% of the Company fleet’s expected operating days in the second quarter of 2026 have been fixed at an estimated TCE rate of approximately $29,725. Assuming that for the remaining operating days of our index-linked time charters, the BCI-180 rate will be equal to $39,611 (based on the FFA curve as of May 26, 2026), our estimated TCE rate for the second quarter of 2026 will be approximately $31,430⁴. The following table provides the breakdown of index-linked charters and fixed-rate charters in the second quarter of 2026:

First Quarter and Recent Developments:

On April 10, 2026, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2025 to all shareholders of record as of March 27, 2026.

In February 2026, the Company entered into a ten-year bareboat charter agreement with an unaffiliated third party for a Japanese newbuilding 181,500 dwt scrubber-fitted Capesize vessel, to be built in Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., with delivery expected in the first quarter of 2029. Following the fifth anniversary of the bareboat charter, the Company will have continuous options to purchase the vessel at any time during the bareboat charter period at predetermined prices, as set forth in the agreement.

The new vessel will be built incorporating the latest technological advancements and eco-friendly design features, resulting in enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions in line with the Company’s ongoing fleet renewal and decarbonization strategy.

Newbuilding Contract for a Third Capesize Vessel at Hengli Shipyard

In April 2026, the Company entered into an agreement with Hengli Shipbuilding (Dalian) Co., Ltd. and Hengli Shipbuilding (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. for the construction of a 181,500 dwt scrubber-fitted newbuilding Capesize vessel. The contract price is approximately $77.9 million, with delivery expected in the fourth quarter of 2027. The purchase price will be paid in five installments, linked to the vessel’s construction milestones, with 45% of the purchase price payable over the next 13 months and the remaining 55% upon delivery of the vessel.

The new vessel will be built incorporating the latest technological advancements and eco-friendly design features, resulting in enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions in line with the Company’s ongoing fleet renewal and decarbonization strategy.

To date, the Company has already paid $68.6 million for its newbuilding program while maintaining a strong liquidity position.

Sale of M/V Squireship

In March 2026, the Company agreed main terms to sell the M/V Squireship to United Maritime Corporation (“United”), a related party, for an aggregate purchase price of $29.5 million. The sale is subject to entering into final documentation between the parties, with delivery expected in June 2026. A special committee of disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors negotiated the terms and approved the agreement.

The transaction is expected to generate net cash proceeds of approximately $13.4 million, supporting the Company’s ongoing newbuilding program, while reducing Seanergy’s average fleet age. The vessel sale is expected to result in an accounting profit of around $4.7 million, which will be recorded in Seanergy’s second quarter financial results. The transaction allows the Company to monetize the M/V Squireship at an attractive market valuation. Following delivery, Seanergy will continue to provide technical and commercial management services to the vessel, facilitating the continuation of the vessel’s existing commercial employment.

M/V Iconship – New T/C agreement

In March 2026, the M/V Iconship commenced a new T/C agreement with Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K Line”) for a period of about 12 to about 15 months.

M/V Meiship – New T/C agreement

In May 2026, the M/V Meiship commenced a new T/C agreement with Glencore Freight Pte. Ltd (“Glencore”) for a period of about 20 to about 24 months. The daily hire is based on the 5 T/C routes of the BCI, with an option for the Company to fix the rate for 1 to 9 months based on the prevailing Capesize FFA curve.

M/V Honorship – Time charter extension

In May 2026, the charterer of the M/V Honorship agreed to extend the time charter agreement in direct continuation from the previous agreement. The extension period will commence in October 2026, for a duration of minimum 17 to about 20 months. The daily hire is based on the 5 T/C routes of the BCI along with a fixed daily premium.

M/V Lordship & Newbuilding Capesize vessel – Huarong Sale and Leaseback agreements

In May 2026, the Company agreed to enter into a $60.5 million sale and leaseback agreement with an entity affiliated with China Huarong Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Huarong”) to partially finance the acquisition of one of the newbuilding Capesize vessels being built at Hengli shipyard, which will also provide pre-delivery financing for certain installments under the shipbuilding contract. Upon delivery, the vessel will be sold and chartered back to the Company for a period of 7 years. The Company will have continuous purchase options at predetermined prices, commencing one year after the charter commencement date and a purchase obligation at the expiry date. The charterhire principal will amortize in 28 quarterly installments of $0.7 million along with a purchase obligation of $42.0 million at the expiry of the bareboat charter.

The Company will sell and charter back the vessel on a bareboat basis for a period of 6 years and will have continuous options to repurchase the vessel at predetermined prices, commencing one year after the charter commencement date and a purchase obligation at the expiry date. The charterhire principal will amortize in 24 quarterly installments of $0.7 million along with a purchase obligation of $5.3 million at the expiry of the bareboat charter.
