NEW YORK ( TheStreet ) -- DryShips ( DRYS ) matched analysts' expectations for fourth-quarter profit, putting an end to a corporate voyage in 2009 that the company's executives likely won't want to experience again. After Thursday's closing bell, the Athens-based shipping concern reported that, excluding a series of one-time charges, it would have earned $65.8 million in the fourth quarter, or 23 cents a share. Revenue came to $193.5 million, which missed the consensus Wall Street target of $215.7 million, according to a survey of analysts by Thompson Reuters. The one-time items totaled $64 million, much of which came from forfeited deposits after the company canceled orders for two vessels from a shipyard. Other charges were related to amortization of revenue, debt costs and stock compensation for employees, and marked-to-market losses on hedging instruments. Taking all that into account, DryShips' true bottom line came to a profit of just $1.4 million, or a penny a share.
