Safe Bulkers SB Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

Safe Bulkers reported Q4 2025 adjusted EPS of $0.14 and declared a $0.05 dividend. The company maintains strong liquidity of $385 million and $178 million in contracted revenue, with a focus on a young, high-quality fleet (80% Japanese-built). However, rising vessel operating expenses (up 13% YoY), declining coal demand, and weak charter market appetite for long-term contracts present headwinds. Management expects supply-demand equilibrium in 2026 but faces uncertainty from Chinese import volumes and trade tensions.

The company maintains operational resilience but faces near-term market challenges.
