The Board of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (the 'Company') is
pleased to announce the unaudited condensed consolidated results of the Company
and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the quarter and nine months ended 30
September 2024.
The Group reported a revenue for the third quarter of 2024 of US$45,585,000,
representing an increase of 127% as compared to US$20,038,000 for the
corresponding quarter in 2023. The Company recorded a consolidated net profit of
US$7,595,000 for the current quarter as compared to a consolidated net loss of
US$8,079,000 for the corresponding quarter in 2023. The consolidated net loss
for last corresponding quarter in 2023 was attributable to the exposure to

reclassification of one Supramax for which the Group entered into a disposal
agreement.
Basic earnings per share for the third quarter was US$0.070 as compared to basic

charter equivalent rates earned by the Group's fleet increased 74% to US$15,290
for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to US$8,796 for the corresponding

Revenue for the first nine months of 2024 reached US$114,724,000, which is a
significant increase compared to US$57,265,000 during the same period in 2023.
This represents a doubling of revenue year-over-year. The Company recorded a
consolidated net profit of US$18,816,000 for the first nine months of 2024
whereas a consolidated net loss of US$27,340,000 was reported in the first nine
months of 2023. Basic earnings per share for the period was US$0.172 as compared
