Management Commentary
“During the second quarter and for the majority of the first half of the year the market was soft in the industry. In the second quarter the market rates were affected by various seasonal, geopolitical and economic factors. This had rates dip below
Fortunately, the market has picked up since then and day rates have now attained much healthier and comfortable levels. We mostly employ our vessels in the spot market and even our period deals have a spot market exposure through links to the relative vessel indices; this allows us to reap benefits instantly when the market picks up, albeit it could also expose us to risks during market downturns. Additionally, during the quarter, we had some ballasting and repositioning trips.
Earlier in the year we announced the sale of m/v
The Company is always evaluating transactions and ways to expand the fleet and footprint in the market. We are very keen on modern, ‘eco’ and/or scrubber fitted quality vessels which are drawing significant interest and competition from buyers; modern vessel sale candidates are scarce with the price pushed upwards usually. Notwithstanding that the Company is continuously scanning the market for such attractive candidates that may carry a good price.
The Company is regularly evaluating and searching for attractive financing opportunities, we are frequently exploring and trying to negotiate transactions that will be beneficial to the Company as well as to, the expansion and emission reduction strategy of our fleet.
We are constantly trying to develop new financing relationships, expand the spectrum and we are fortunate to have institutions supporting our Company and our cause.
But most importantly we are continuously evaluating various ways to enhance and build up value for our shareholders, the evaluation is always done strategically with our focus on the health of the Company, and its future. We remain committed in our expansion plans, the efficiency and carbon footprint of our fleet and the further enhancement of shareholder value.”

Notes:
(1) Ownership days are the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us.
(2) Available days are the number of ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys.
(3) Operating days are the number of available days less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances but excluding days during which vessels are seeking employment.
(4) We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during the period.
(5) Average number of vessels is measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during a relevant period divided by the number of calendar days in such period.
(6) TCE rates are our voyage revenues less net revenues from our bareboat charters less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our available days during the period which is consistent with industry standards. TCE is a measure not in accordance with IFRS.
(7) We calculate daily vessel operating expenses by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant time period.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest and finance costs net, gains or losses from the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, foreign exchange gains or losses, income taxes, depreciation, depreciation of dry-docking costs, amortization of fair value of time charter acquired, impairment and gains or losses on sale of vessels. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or cash generated from operations, as determined by IFRS, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which we assess our financial performance and because we believe that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness and it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are:
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs; and
- Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss) and net cash generated from operating activities for the periods presented:
