IMPERIAL PETROLEUM INC. Reports Q1 26 results, SECOND BEST QUARTERLY results in its history

May 22 2026 - 9:20AM


IMPERIAL PETROLEUM INC. (NASDAQ: IMPP; the “Company”), a ship-owning company providing petroleum products, crude oil and dry bulk seaborne transportation services, announced today its unaudited financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Fleet operational utilization of 88.7% in Q1 26’ compared to 91.8% in Q4 25’ and 83.8% in Q1 25’.

Approximately 59% of total fleet calendar days in Q1 26’ were dedicated to time charter activity while approximately 39% to spot activity.

Delivery of the dry bulk carrier, Eco Crossfire, on April 3, 2026 which increased our fleet on the water to 21 vessels; the remaining four contracted dry bulk carriers and one tanker are scheduled to be delivered by end of Q3 26’ bringing our total fleet to 26 ships.

In Q1 26’ Imperial Petroleum marked its second- best quarterly performance.

Revenues of $61.7 million in Q1 26’ compared to $51.1 million in Q4 25’ and $32.1 million in Q1 25’, representing a 20.7% increase and a 92.2% increase, respectively.

Impressive increase of our operating income to $26.5 million in Q1 26’, marking a $12.8 million or 93.4% increase compared to Q4 25’ and a $18.7 million or 239.7% increase compared to Q1 25’.

Net income generation of $28.0 million in Q1 26’- the second best in our history- compared to $15.0 million in Q4 25’, and $11.3 million in Q1 25’, representing a 86.7% and 147.8% increase, respectively.

Basic EPS of $0.60 in Q1 26’.

EBITDA1 of $34.4 million for Q1 26’.

Continued enhancement of our liquidity through efficient vessel operations; cash and cash equivalents including time deposits of $212.6 million as of March 31, 2026 compared to $179.1 million as of December 31, 2025.

Under the $10 million stock repurchase program, the Company has repurchased up to May 21, 2026 a total of 855,769 common shares for an aggregate amount of $3.8 million.

CEO Harry Vafias Commented

We are extremely pleased with our first quarter 2026 results. With a net income of $28 million, corresponding to a basic EPS of $0.60 per share, we generated the second-best quarterly profitability in the Company’s history. Geopolitical tensions persist, creating turbulence across global markets and the shipping industry in particular. The ongoing Middle East conflict has driven tanker market rates to peak levels, while dry bulk market rates have also firmed.

In this environment, we successfully capitalized upon our sizeable fleet. Our expansion strategy continues to deliver strong results, and we believe that our active share repurchase program will help our share price better reflect the Company’s true underlying value — a fleet of 21 vessels on the water with 5 more to be delivered shortly, ample liquidity in excess of $220 million, a consistently profitable track record, and a completely debt-free balance sheet.

Enactment of a $10 million share repurchase program; Under this scheme the Company has repurchased to date a total of 251,625 common shares for an aggregate amount of $0.9 million.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results:

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $51.1 million, an increase of $24.9 million, or 95.0%, compared to revenues of $26.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the increase of our fleet by an average of 8.0 vessels along with the strengthening of spot market rates for suezmax tankers.

Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $16.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively, compared to $8.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $8.1 million increase in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to increased port expenses due to higher number of transits through the Suez Canal and increased bunkers consumption, primarily resulting from ballast voyages of the newly acquired dry bulk carriers. The $4.6 million increase in vessels’ operating expenses is primarily due to the increased size of our fleet by an average of 8.0 vessels.

Drydocking costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were nil and $0.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no vessel underwent drydocking whereas in the three months ended December 31, 2024 charges related to a drydocking which took place at the end of the third quarter of 2024.

General and administrative costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. This increase is mainly attributed to the increase in stock-based compensation costs.

Depreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $7.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively. This increase is attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.

Management fees for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. This increase is attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.

Interest and finance costs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.004 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The $0.3 million of costs for the three months ended December 31, 2024 relate mainly to the accrued interest expense – related party, in connection with the $14.0 million, part of the acquisition price of our bulk carrier, Neptulus, which was fully repaid in May 2025.

Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $1.3 million as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $1.0 million decrease is mainly attributed to a lower amount of funds placed under time deposits along with a decrease in time deposit rates.

Foreign exchange loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $0.2 million as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $3.1 million decrease is mainly attributed to movements in the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate during the quarters. Specifically, the euro appreciated slightly between September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, compared to a depreciation during the same period in 2024. Moreover, the Company held lower euro-denominated amounts of funds compared to the prior period.

As a result of the above, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported net income of $15.0 million, compared to net income of $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Dividends paid on Series A Preferred Shares amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, basic, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was 38.1 million. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $0.37 and $0.35, respectively, compared to earnings per share, basic and diluted, of $0.10 and $0.10, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Adjusted net income1 was $15.8 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS1, basic, of $0.39 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to an Adjusted net income of $4.6 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS, basic, of $0.12 for the same period of last year.

EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $21.3 million, while Adjusted EBITDA1 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $22.1 million.

An average of 19.0 vessels were owned by the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 11.0 vessels for the same period of 2024.

Twelve months 2025 Results:

Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $161.0 million, an increase of $13.5 million, or 9.2%, compared to revenues of $147.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the increase in the average number of vessels following the expansion of our drybulk fleet.

Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were $49.4 million and $37.7 million, respectively, compared to $52.0 million and $26.4 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The $2.6 million decrease in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to a decrease in spot days by 24.1% as a result of a rise in time charter activity. The $11.3 million increase in vessels’ operating expenses was primarily due to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.

Drydocking costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.7 million. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, one suezmax tanker and one supramax drybulk carrier underwent drydocking while in the same period of last year two tanker vessels underwent drydocking.

General and administrative costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $4.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively. This change is mainly attributed to the decrease in stock-based compensation costs.

Depreciation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $25.9 million, a $8.9 million increase from $17.0 million for the same period of last year, due to the increase in the average number of our vessels.

Other operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $0.9 million and related to the accrued income of an insurance claim in connection with dry-docking repairs undertaken in prior years, that is expected to be collected within 2025. Other operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $1.9 million and related to the collection of an insurance claim in connection with repairs undertaken in prior years.

Interest and finance costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $2.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The $2.3 million of costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 relate mainly to accrued interest expense – related party in connection with our last nine vessel acquisitions for which purchase agreement allowed vessels for repayment to take place within one year from purchase agreement. For accounting purposes, the outstanding balances payable on these nine vessels had to be allocated between principal and imputed interest up until vessel repayment, although no interest was contractually charged by the sellers. The final balances repaid in full within the twelve months of 2025, remained the same as the originally agreed purchase prices. The $0.4 million of costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 relate mainly to the accrued interest expense – related party, in connection with the $14.0 million, part of the acquisition price of our bulk carrier, Neptulus, which was fully repaid in May 2025.

Interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $7.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributed to the $1.6 million of accrued interest income – related party for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, in connection with the $38.7 million of the sale price of the Aframax tanker Afrapearl II (ex. Stealth Berana). The balance was collected in July 2024, thus the balance for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was nil.

Foreign exchange (loss)/gain for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was a gain of $4.4 million as compared to a loss of $2.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The $4.4 million foreign exchange gain for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, is mainly attributed to favourable exchange rate movements, reflecting an appreciation of the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate, compared to a depreciation during the same period in 2024.

As a result of the above, the Company reported net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 of $50.0 million, compared to a net income of $50.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The weighted average number of shares outstanding, basic, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was 34.5 million. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $1.35 and $1.29, respectively compared to earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $1.54 and $1.40, respectively.

Adjusted Net Income was $53.2 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS, basic of $1.44 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to adjusted net income of $55.1 million, or $1.70 Adjusted EPS, basic, for the same period of last year.

EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $71.0 million while Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $74.2 million. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income are set forth below.

An average of 16.0 vessels were owned by the Company during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 10.4 vessels for the same period of 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents including time deposits amounted to $179.1 million and total debt amounted to nil.

I suggest you go back and read the previous posts. Harry Vafias is Chairman and CEO. Also owns sister public companies, GASS and CISS. Lot of intercompany deals with more of his private companies so there is a skim factor and management fees.
Loves to do secondaries and reverse splits on dumb American investors. Every once in awhile will run the stock under guise of adding ships and deferring payments for a year only to eventually drop a private placement on shareholders,which he needs in order to purchase the ships.
Typical Greek shipping company.
All imo based upon last few years results.

Earnings were soft and revenues declined quarter over quarter due to weakness in rates. Cash is $207 million but they need to pay $14 mil in May for one vessel and if memory serves me correctly they have contracted to acquire seven Japanese built drybulk carriers, aggregating approximately 443,000 dwt, which are expected to be delivered to us between January 2025 and May 2025.


Price hit 2.55 this morning before recovering. Me thinks this would be low water point for the stock. But who knows with Greek shippers!

Right back down near the 2.80 support level that it has bounced off twice in recent months. Usually third time is the charm to break below. We shall see. Shipping stocks have been hammered for awhile with lower contract prices. They are still making money but market is looking 3-6 months ahead.

Very likely company has been buying shares from the mid

I'm wonder how many folks added to their positions when the stock broke below 3 just because it was an opportunity to "buy shares in the 2's" and maybe will start rethinking that purchase. Lest you forget the stock was 1.70 about a year ago.   Have shareholders felt all the pain downward so far?  It better hold $2.82 as I think that is the last remaining support level before it free falls to $2.50, then $2.10.

Earnings were just ok. Utilization was only 65%, as Harry "forgot" to tell his investors that one ship was idle all quarter due to a "minor" repair.

Even with close to $200 mil cash, that amount will go way down with upcoming purchase of 8 vessels for around $130 mil and the softening of spot rates in the tanker market.

No mention of stock buybacks in conference call.

This stock will likely go under $3.   Doesn't matter if P/E is under 2.  Currently a value trap in an industry known for deceiving investors.

I sold 5k IMPP in the $3.70s and CISS I dumped a month or two ago.

No time for either one of those anymore

Expect to see a washout of this stock below $3.50 as long time holders start to bail.   Institutional holder Hudson Bay has already reduced holdings to zero. 

Almost feels like Harry is thinking about doing another offering to raise even more cash. Perhaps at $3?

MM’s tried a head fake this morning pushing price up to $3.80 where it was met with significant selling.

Me thinks the 200 DMA of $3.64 is in jeopardy of falling.

The classic short squeeze spike and reversal. If stock doesn’t hold 4, then likely to test 3.80 again, perhaps even $3.50.

Realization that new ship purchases are for lower daily rate vessels and thus potentially lower margins.

Looking good from the lower left to the upper right.  All eyes are on that upper trend line $4.45/$4.50 resistance

What I find interesting is the amount of sellers in the $3.80 -$4.30 range. If the future looks so bright why all the selling? Perhaps it’s just nervous retail looking for the next hot sector. Less than 8% institutional holding.

The real play here should be the company buying back its own stock. The real fear is that if it happens, the company will do another offering at higher prices because it just can’t help itself.

Decent volume today at least.

Looking forward to the chart continuing to make a series of higher lows as institutions begin to take notice

Clearly this isn't retail

Analyst Tate Sullivan of Maxim Group maintained a Buy rating on Imperial Petroleum, Inc. (IMPP – Research Report), retaining the price target of $8.00.
Tate Sullivan has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors involving Imperial Petroleum, Inc.’s strategic acquisition and favorable market dynamics. The analyst has raised estimates following the company’s announcement of acquiring seven dry bulk ships, which aligns closely with its cash and equivalents balance, signifying a strong liquidity position. Furthermore, Imperial Petroleum’s advantageous payment terms for the ships and the anticipated interest income prior to payment underscore the company’s financial prudence. Sullivan also acknowledges the company’s robust cash flow projections and absence of debt, reducing the likelihood of requiring additional capital.

Additionally, Tate Sullivan’s optimism is reflected in the increased revenue and earnings per share (EPS) forecasts for 2025, suggesting substantial year-over-year growth. This is despite a conservative adjustment in time charter equivalent (TCE) rates for some vessels. The analyst also factors in the broader market outlook, including global economic growth projections and sector-specific trends that could boost tanker rates, as well as limited supply growth due to the extended lead time for new ship deliveries. These combined elements contribute to Sullivan’s conviction in maintaining a Buy rating and an $8.00 price target, representing significant upside from the current trading level based on the forecasted book value per share.

If today’s charts are accurate , there was a third test (and bounce) off the $3.80 mark. Of course the question is “why so much selling of a company that is supposedly generating so much cash”?

With HV it feels very much like doing transactions with a used car dealer. He buys $10 million ships from himself and sells them at a premium to IMPP shareholders for $13 million.

This creates the discount to NAV.

Took 155k shares to bring it to the $3.80 level but only 15k shares to bring it back to $3.93 where it has been churning for the last 15 minutes.

Need to watch for a second test of $3.80. Shareholders think the stock is cheap but the intercompany games that HV plays is the real driver of why analysts are hesitant about recommending this company.

I think Harry’s goal all along is to use the cash to build his fleet, which means buying more tankers from his own family, allowing him to repeat/rinse skimming broker fees off the top and delaying payment for one year.

It’s worked for him (and his family) in the past, not so much for shareholders. Buyback of stock is not in the cards just yet.

At some point when the fleet gets above 25-30 ships, this may be a good investment. Also at some point older ships will be sold to CISS at a premium causing more dilution for that ticket until HV creates yet another public company that CISS can sell ships to.

All assuming that ship spot market prices per day remain stable.

Heavy selling going on this morning in the first 15 minutes….about 1/2 of it avg daily trading volume so far.

3.83 prints as I’m typing. Still expect it to fall below $3.50.

Will see what the rest of the day looks like.

Retracements down to the sub $4 level really test the patience of most - especially on low volume.  

Guess Harry Vafias doesn't consider $IMPP's share price low enough to perform share buy-backs.

One would think that a man with his such elevated level of narcissism would want to boast about the performance of the underlying stock of Imperial Petroleum, surpassing the $5 level in heading into double digits 

Quite perplexing to say the least
