| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $877.9M | -57.9% | -0.4% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $364.6M | +14.0% | +2.8% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +57.3% | +114.4% | -0.0% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +51.7% | +133.1% | +2.5% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +41.5% | +170.5% | +3.2% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $472.3M | +83.6% | -1103.8% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +53.8% | +335.8% | -1107.9% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 72.6% | -22.4% | -2.3% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.73x | +24.2% | -17.9% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $3.9B | -25.0% | +2.1% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |

During the first quarter of the year, the company generated net income of about $75 million. Total liquidity amounted to about $645 million. Executing on our strategy of renewing the fleet and securing long-term cash flows from high-quality counterparties, we have ordered a total of 16 new buildings from first-class Chinese shipyards. 12 of the ships are 9,200 TEUs and four are 3,100 TEUs capacity. The vessels are expected to be delivered between the fourth quarter of 2027 and the second quarter of 2030. Upon delivery, all ships will commence long-term charters with COSCO shipping of 15 and 8 years for the 12 9,000 TEU ships and the four 3,100 TEU vessels, respectively. We are pleased to expand our value and long-lasting relationship with COSCO through the completion of our latest 16 newbuilding transaction. Incremental contracted revenues for the new charters amount to about $2.8 billion. The acquisitions will be funded with equity and debt. Pre and post-delivery financing for a tenure of up to 15 years has been arranged for all 16 ships with 2 leading Chinese financial institutions. In addition to the above, we have agreed to acquire 2 secondhand 5,600 TEU vessels built in 2001. The acquisitions are expected to be completed in Q4 '26, upon which each vessels shall commence a 42-month time charter with a leading liner operator. As a consequence, total contracted revenues have reached $6.2 billion with a remaining time charter duration of 6.1 years. In light of the above, management is pleased to recommend to the Board of Directors to increase the quarterly dividend per share from $0.115 to $0.125 while rewarding our shareholders as a result of increased cash flows, profitability and visibility, the payment of that dividend is not expected to affect our capacity to continue growing on a healthy basis in a volatile market environment. Moving now to the slide presentation. On the first slide, you can see our first quarter results. Adjusted net income for the quarter was $76 million or $0.63 per share. Net income for the quarter was $75 million or $0.62 per share. Our liquidity stands at about $640 million. Management has announced the intention to recommend a dividend increase to the Board.
