Net income declined to $1.7 million from $27.6 million reported in Q2 2024, and net revenues decreased by 16.3% to $65.75 million compared to the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter also fell to $25.9 million from $50.7 million in Q2 2024. The company stated that the decline in revenues was mainly due to a weaker charter market and reduced earnings from scrubber-fitted vessels (ships equipped with devices to reduce emissions).

The average daily Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rate decreased from $18,650 in Q2 2024 to $14,857 in Q2 2025. The company operated an average of 46.75 vessels during the quarter, slightly higher than the 45.43 vessels in Q2 2024. Be that as it may, Safe Bulkers declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share. The dividend will be paid on September 5, 2025, and marks the company’s fifteenth consecutive payout.
