GNK beets--HURRAY--My dsx will fly as will FROQ1 EPS $1.32 beats est. $1.26
ReplyDelete* Q1 rev $96.7 mln beats est. $93.9 mln
* Secured 60 pct of 2009 available days
April 29 (Reuters) - Dry bulk carrier Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd (GNK.N) posted quarterly results that beat market estimates, as a larger fleet and long-term charter contracts offset weaker freight rates.
For the first quarter, the company earned $41.2 million, or $1.32 a share, compared with $74 million, or $2.56 per share, a year ago.
Revenue rose about 5 percent to $96.7 million.
Quarterly average daily time charter equivalent rate -- a measure of hire rate -- fell 7.5 percent to $33,203 per day.
However, quarterly average number of vessels rose by 4 to 32, helping the company to overcome a fall in freight rates.
"Approximately 60 percent of our fleet's estimated available days locked away on time charters for the remainder of 2009," President Robert Gerald Buchanan said in a statement.
Shares of the company closed at $17.52 Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Sakthi Prasad in Bangalore; Editing by Deepak Kannan)
