NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECENT EVENTS

Organization and General

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “Pangaea” “we” or “our”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership, chartering and operation of drybulk vessels. The Company is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda as an exempted company on April 29, 2014.

At June 30, 2023, the Company owns three Panamax, two Ultramax Ice Class 1C, one Ultramax and nine Supramax drybulk vessels. The Company owns two-thirds of Nordic Bulk Holding Company Ltd. ("NBHC") which owns a fleet of six Panamax Ice Class 1A drybulk vessels. The Company owns 50% of Nordic Bulk Partners LLC. ("NBP") which owns a fleet of four Post Panamax Ice Class 1A drybulk vessels. The Company also has a 50% interest in the owner of a deck barge. On June 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of port and terminal operation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

As of January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 amends the current financial instrument impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The adoption of the accounting standard did not have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the percentage completion of spot voyages, the establishment of the allowance for credit losses and the estimate of salvage value used in determining vessel depreciation expense. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Leases

Time charter in contracts

The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the charter hire payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is reflected as advance hire in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. As allowed by a practical expedient under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), the Company made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less, to forego recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on its balance sheet. For the quarter ending June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any time charter in contracts with terms greater than 12 months, as such charter hire expense presented on the consolidated statements of income are lease expenses for chartered in contracts less than 12 months.

Time charter out contracts

Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreed rate per day. The charterer has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The Company determined that all time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of ASC 842 because: (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset; (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights; and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had three vessel chartered to customers under time charters that contained a lease. These three leases varied in original length from 31 days to 68 days. The lease payments due under these arrangements totaled approximately $1,497,000 and each of the time charters were due to be completed in 41 days or less.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had one vessel chartered to a customer under time charter that contained a lease. This lease's duration was 28 days. At June 30, 2022, lease payments due under this arrangement totaled approximately 125,000 and the time charter was due to be completed in 4 days.

The Company does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

Office leases

The Company has four non-cancelable office and office equipment leases. The resulting lease assets and liabilities are not material.

Revenue Recognition

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" or "despatch" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, with the amounts recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

The voyage contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers because the Company, as the shipowner, retains control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch.

During time charter agreements, the Company is paid to provide transportation services on a per day basis for a specified period of time. Revenues from time charters are earned and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter, the charterers have substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. As such, the Company has identified that time charter agreements contain a lease in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue is not earned when vessels are offhire.

In a stevedore service contract, the Company is paid to provide cargo handling services on a per unit basis for a specified quantity of cargo. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a rate per unit of cargo handled. The contract may contain minimum quantities. Revenues from stevedore service contracts are earned and recognized on a per unit basis as completed over the performance period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” which clarified that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition due to reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848," which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief under Topic 848. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Long-lived Assets Impairment Considerations

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. If indicators of impairment are present, we perform an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be derived from the related long-lived assets. Our assessment is made at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets. The asset groups established by the Company are defined by vessel size and major characteristic or trade.

The Company concluded that no triggering event had occurred during the second quarter of 2023, which would require impairment testing. However, during the first quarter of 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred related to the sale of a vessel, as its carrying value exceeded its fair value. On January 18, 2023, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the m/v Bulk Newport for $8.9 million in net consideration after brokerage commissions. As a result, we recorded a loss on sale of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The Company performed an impairment analysis on each asset group and concluded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were higher than their carrying amounts and as such, no additional loss on impairment was recognized.

The Company concluded that no triggering event had occurred during the second quarter of 2022, which would require impairment testing. However, during the first quarter of 2022, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred related to the sale of a vessel, as the carrying value exceeded its fair value. On April 20, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the m/v Bulk Pangaea for $8.6 million in net consideration after brokerage commissions. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company performed an impairment analysis on each asset group and concluded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were higher than their carrying amounts and as such, no additional loss on impairment was recognized.

NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Forward freight agreements

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and, when appropriate, hedges identified economic risk with appropriate derivative instruments, specifically forward freight agreements (FFAs). These economic hedges do not usually qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis.

Fuel swap contracts

The Company continuously monitors the market volatility associated with bunker prices and seeks to reduce the risk of such volatility through a bunker hedging program. The Company enters into fuel swap contracts that are not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis.

Interest rate cap

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s forward freight agreements and fuel swap contracts are based on market prices obtained from an independent third-party valuation specialist based on published indices. Such quotes represent the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. The interest rate caps contracts are valued using analysis obtained from independent third party valuation specialists based on market observable inputs, representing Level 2 assets.

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	Asset Derivative					Liability Derivative
Derivative instruments	Balance Sheet Location	06/30/2023		12/31/2022		Balance Sheet Location	6/30/2023		12/31/2022

(1) The fair value measurements were all categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) These fair value measurements were all categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in order of priority are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 fair value measurements include cash, money-market accounts and restricted cash accounts.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Long-term Contracts Accounted for as Operating Leases

The Company leases office space for its Copenhagen operations. The lease expires in December 2025, at which time the lease continues on a month to month basis with a non-cancelable period of six months.

The Company leases office space for its Singapore operations. In July 2023, the Company renewed its lease for a two year period. At June 30, 2023, the remaining lease term is twenty-six months.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized approximately $52,000 as lease expense for office leases in General and Administrative Expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized approximately $104,000 as lease expense for these office leases in General and Administrative Expenses.

Legal Proceedings and Claims

The Company is subject to certain asserted claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company intends to vigorously assert its rights and defend itself in any litigation that may arise from such claims. While the ultimate outcome of these matters could affect the results of operations of any one year, and while there can be no assurance with respect thereto, management believes that after final disposition, any financial impact to the Company would not be material to its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 10 - OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

In September 2019, the Company entered into an LLC agreement for the formation of NBP, that, at inception is owned 75% by the Company and 25% by an independent third party. NBP was established for the purpose of constructing and owning four new-build ice class post panamax vessels. The third party contributed additional funding which increased their ownership of NBP to 50% at the time of delivery of the new-build ice class post panamax vessels. The agreement contains both put and call option provisions. Accordingly, the Company may be obligated, pursuant to the put option, or entitled to, pursuant to the call option, to purchase the third party's interest in NBP beginning anytime after September 2026. The put option and call option are at fixed prices which are not significantly different from each other, starting at $4.0 million per vessel on the fourth anniversary from completion and delivery of each vessel and declining to $3.7 million per vessel on or after the seventh anniversary from completion and delivery of each vessel. If neither put nor call option is exercised, the Company is obligated to purchase the vessels from NBP at a fixed price. Pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company has recorded the third party's interest in NBP as a Long term liabilities - Other. The Company took delivery of Nordic Nuluujaak, Nordic Qinngua, Nordic Sanngijuq and Nordic Siku in 2021. Earnings attributable to the third party’s interest in NBP are recorded in Income attributable to Non-controlling interest recorded as long-term liability.

The Company paid off the $7.5 million note payable in relation to the acquisition of an additional one-third equity interest in NBHC in September of 2022. NBHC continues to be a consolidated entity in the Company’s consolidated financial statements pursuant to ASC 810-10. The portion of NBHC not owned by the Company will continue to be recognized as non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts

The Company uses a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts when analyzing its performance.

These include revenue recognition, deferred revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, vessels and depreciation and long-lived assets impairment considerations, as defined above as well as the following:

Voyage Revenue. Voyage revenue is derived from voyage charters which involve the carriage of cargo from a load port to a discharge port, which is predetermined in each voyage contract. Gross revenue is calculated by multiplying the agreed rate per ton of cargo by the number of tons loaded. The Company directs how and for what purpose the vessel is used and therefore, these voyage contracts do not contain leases.

Charter Revenue. Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreed rate per day. These time-charter arrangements contain leases because the lessee has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The operating lease component and the vessel operating expense non-lease component of a time-charter contract are reported as a single component.

Terminal & Stevedore Revenue. Terminal & Stevedore revenue is derived from inbound and outbound cargo handling services at ports which the Company operates in. Gross revenue is earned typically based on a per-unit rate for volumes handled.

Voyage Expenses. The Company incurs expenses for voyage charters, including bunkers (fuel), port charges, canal tolls, brokerage commissions and cargo handling operations, which are expensed as incurred.

Charter Expenses. The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the charter hire payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is reflected as advance hire in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. The Company does not record a right-of-use asset or lease liability for any arrangement less than one year.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses represent the cost to operate the Company’s owned vessels. Vessel operating expenses include crew hire and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes, other miscellaneous expenses, and technical management fees. These expenses are recognized as incurred. Technical management services include day-to-day vessel operations, performing general vessel maintenance, ensuring regulatory and classification society compliance, arranging the hire of crew, and purchasing stores, supplies, and spare parts.

Terminal & Stevedore Expenses. Terminal & Stevedore expenses represent the cost to provide the Company's cargo handling services. Terminal & Stevedore expenses include direct labor and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance of shore based equipment, trucking, and other direct miscellaneous expenses.

Fleet Data. The Company believes that the measures for analyzing future trends in its results of operations consist of the following:

Shipping days. The Company defines shipping days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which its owned or chartered-in vessels are performing either a voyage charter (voyage days) or a time charter (time charter days).

Daily vessel operating expenses. The Company defines daily vessel operating expenses as vessel operating expenses divided by ownership days for the period. Vessel operating expenses include crew hire and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes, other miscellaneous expenses, and technical management fees.

Chartered in days. The Company defines chartered in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which it chartered in vessels from third party vessel owners.

Time Charter Equivalent ‘‘TCE’’ rates. The Company defines TCE rates as total revenues less voyage expenses divided by the length of the voyage, which is consistent with industry standards. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in per-day amounts.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairment, loss on sale and leaseback of vessels, share-based compensation, other non-operating income and/or expense, and other non-recurring items, if any. Adjusted EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors to measure operating performance and is also reviewed periodically as a measure of financial performance by Pangaea's Board of Directors. Adjusted EBITDA is not an item recognized by the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other indicator of a company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. Pangaea’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may not be comparable to the definition of EBITDA used by other companies.

(2)Shipping days are defined as the aggregate number of days in a period during which its owned or chartered-in vessels are performing either a voyage charter (voyage days) or time charter (time charter days).

The reconciliation of gross profit to net transportation and service revenue and net income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

(3) Net transportation and service revenue represents total revenue less the total direct costs of transportation and services, which includes charter hire, voyage and vessel operating expenses and terminal & stevedore expenses. Net transportation and service revenue is included because it is used by management and certain investors to measure performance by comparison to other logistic service providers. Net transportation and service revenue is not an item recognized by the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other indicator of a company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. Pangaea’s definition of net transportation and service revenue used here may not be comparable to an operating measure used by other companies.

(4) Gross profit represents total revenue less cost of transportation and service revenue less vessel depreciation.

Business Overview

The dry bulk transportation and logistics industry is known for its cyclicality and volatility, which can be attributed to fluctuations in vessel supply and demand for the transportation of dry bulk commodities. Despite the dry bulk freight market reaching decade high levels in 2021 and maintaining strong performance in the first half of 2022, there was a decrease in freight demand in the third quarter of 2022, leading to a slowdown that persisted through the first quarter of 2023 before rebounding in the second quarter. The Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”), a measure of dry bulk market performance, averaged 1,215 for the second quarter of 2023, up approximately 19% from the prior quarter, and compared to an average of 2,403 for the same quarter of 2022. The average published market rates for Supramax and Panamax vessels, reflecting the composition of the company's fleet, also decreased approximately 60%, from an average of $26,075 in the second quarter of 2022 to $10,431 in the same period of 2023. As a result of the industry's volatility, we have experienced fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results in the past, and we expect to continue experiencing such fluctuations in the future due to various factors, including cargo demand, vessel supply, competition, and seasonality.

Effect of Inflation

High inflation in the United States and in many of the global economies where the Company operates is beginning to impact vessel operating costs, including crew travel, transportation of equipment and spares, and drydocking costs. We expect crew payroll expenses to stabilize over the near and medium term, however other inflated cost changes may make our vessel daily operating costs higher. Increases in the cost of fuel consumed on voyages are usually absorbed by cargo market rates passed on to customers or covered by fuel cost pass through under the terms of long-term contracts. Because interest rates on a large portion of the Company’s long-term debt, and finance leases is fixed or capped, the impact of higher interest rates on the Company’s earnings is limited.

Quarterly TCE Performance

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company's TCE rates were down 43% to $15,558 from $27,139 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company's achieved TCE rates improved from the previous quarter as the overall dry bulk market rates improved for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Company's achieved TCE rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 outperformed the average of the Baltic panamax and supramax market indexes and exceeded the average market rates by approximately 49% due to its long-term contracts of affreightment, ("COAs"), its specialized fleet and its cargo-focused strategy.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Revenues

Pangaea’s revenues are derived predominately from voyage, time charters and terminal and stevedore revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $118.1 million, compared to $195.5 million for the same period in 2022, a 40% decrease. The decrease in revenues was primarily driven by lower average TCE rates earned as discussed above as well as a decrease in total shipping days, which went down by 14% to 4,056 in the three months ended June 30, 2023, in comparison to 4,703 for the same period in 2022. However, this decrease was partially offset by an increase in terminal and stevedore revenue resulting from the company's acquisition of port and terminal operations in June 2023.

Components of revenue are as follows:

Voyage revenues decreased by 36% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $110.5 million compared to $173.2 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in voyage revenues was primarily due to lower average TCE rates earned and a lower number of voyage days which decreased 10% to 3,577 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 3,963 for the same period in 2022.

Charter revenues decreased to $7.1 million from $22.4 million, or 68%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in charter revenues was due to a decrease in time charter days which were down 35% to 479 in the first quarter of 2023 from 740 for the same quarter in 2022 and decreased charter hire rates earned. The optionality of our chartering strategy allows the Company to selectively release excess ship days, if any, into the market under time charter arrangements.

Terminal & Stevedore revenues increased to $0.5 million, a 100% increase for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the company's acquisition of port and terminal operations in June 2023.

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses were $54.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $67.9 million for the same period in 2022, a decrease of approximately 20%. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in bunker consumption partially offset by an increase port costs. Total costs of bunkers consumed decreased by 32.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The reduction in bunker expenses was primarily attributable to the decrease in voyage days and a decrease in the market price. Although the number of voyage days reduced, port expenses increased by 5% compared to the prior year due to the increase in canal fees.

Charter Hire Expenses

Charter hire expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $29.1 million, compared to $65.7 million for the same period in 2022, a 56% decrease. The decrease in charter hire expenses was primarily due to a decrease in market rates to charter-in vessels. The average published market rates for Supramax and Panamax vessels decreased approximately 60% from an average of $26,075 in the second quarter of 2022 to $10,431 in the same period of 2023. Chartered-in days decreased 23% from 2,501 days in the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 1,915 days for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Company's flexible charter-in strategy allows it to supplement its owned fleet with short term chartered-in tonnage at prevailing market prices, when needed, to meet cargo demand.

Vessel Operating Expenses

Vessel operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $13.2 million, compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of approximately 2%. The ownership days for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 2,200 and 2,269, respectively, down 3%. Excluding technical management fees, vessel operating expenses on a per day basis were $5,517 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $5,198 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Technical management fees were approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The increase in vessel operating expenses was mainly attributable to an increase in crew expenses due to an increase in crewing costs and crew changes. The Company continues to face general inflationary pressures particularly impacting the cost of lubes, stores and spares.

Terminal & Stevedore Expenses

Terminal & Stevedore expenses increased to $0.4 million, a 100% increase for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the company's acquisition of port and terminal operations in June 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $5.9 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in compensation costs, and the Company's acquisition of port and terminal operation in June of 2023 which added approximately $0.5 million non-recurring acquisition costs. However this was partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation cost recognized in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and bunker prices, and when appropriate, actively hedges identified economic risk that may impact the operating income of long-term cargo contracts and forward bookings with forward freight agreements and bunkers swaps. The utilization of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company's reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis as the Company marks these positions to market at the balance sheet date while settlement of the position and execution of the physical transaction may occur at a future date. The Company recognized a mark to market loss on bunker swaps of approximately $0.7 million and on forward freight agreements (FFAs) of approximately $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023. The fair value gain on interest rate derivative amounted to approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. These gains and losses resulted from changes in the fair value of the derivatives at the respective balance sheet dates.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Revenues

Pangaea’s revenues are derived predominately from voyage, time charters and terminal and stevedore revenue. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $231.8 million, compared to $387.3 million for the same period in 2022, a 40% decrease. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower average TCE rates and a 15% reduction in total shipping days, which amounted to 8,014 in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 9,482 for the same period in 2022.

Components of revenue are as follows:

Voyage revenues decreased by 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $218.4 million compared to $349.5 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in voyage revenues was primarily due to lower average TCE rates and a 14% decrease in the number of voyage days, which amounted to 6,969 in six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 8,139 for the same period in 2022.

Charter revenues decreased to $12.8 million from $37.8 million, or 66%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in charter revenues was due to a decrease in time charter days, which were down 22% to 1,045 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 1,343 in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The time charter revenue per day was $12,286 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $28,131 for the same period of 2022. The optionality of our chartering strategy allows the Company to selectively release excess ship days, if any, into the market under time charter arrangements.

Terminal & Stevedore revenue increased to $0.5 million, a 100% increase for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the company's acquisition of port and terminal operations in June 2023.

Voyage expenses were $111.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $133.2 million for the same period in 2022, a decrease of 16%. The decrease was mainly attributable to decreased bunker costs, port expenses and canal fees. Bunkers, port charges, and canal fees increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters. The number of voyage days decreased by 14% to 6,969 days in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 8,139 days for the same period in 2022. Total costs of bunkers consumed decreased by 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to decreasing market prices for bunkers. Port expenses decreased 8% compared to the prior year.

Charter Hire Expenses

Charter hire expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $51.7 million, compared to $143.4 million for the same period in 2022, a 64% decrease. The decrease in charter hire expenses was primarily due to a decrease in market rates to charter-in vessels and a decrease in the number of chartered-in days from 5,165 days in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to 3,693 days for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company's flexible charter-in strategy allows it to supplement its owned fleet with short term chartered-in tonnage at prevailing market prices, when needed, to meet cargo demand.

Vessel Operating Expenses

Vessel operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $26.8 million, compared to $26.1 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of approximately 3%, despite a slight decrease in ownership days compared to first half of 2022. The ownership days for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 4,422 and 4,472, respectively. Excluding technical management fees, vessel operating expenses on a per day basis were $5,575 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $5,270 for the same period in 2022. Technical management fees were approximately $2.2 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in vessel operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in crew expenses due to an increase in crewing costs and crew changes. The Company continues to face general inflationary pressures particularly impacting the cost of lubes, stores and spares.

Terminal & Stevedore Expenses

Terminal expenses increased to $0.4 million, a 100% increase for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the Company's acquisition of port and terminal operations in June 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $11.6 million and $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in compensation costs, and the Company's acquisition of port and terminal operation in June of 2023 which added approximately $0.5 million non-recurring acquisition costs. However this was partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation cost recognized in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Unrealized (loss) gain on derivative instruments

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and bunker prices, and when appropriate, actively hedges identified economic risk that may impact the operating income of long-term cargo contracts and forward bookings with forward freight agreements and bunkers swaps. The utilization of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company's reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis as the Company marks these positions to market at the balance sheet date while settlement of the position and execution of the physical transaction may occur at a future date. The Company recognized mark to market loss on bunker swaps of approximately $0.5 million and loss on forward freight agreements (FFAs) of approximately $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The fair value gain on interest rate derivatives was approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. These gains and losses resulted from changes in the fair value of the derivatives at the respective balance sheet dates.

Significant accounting estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are the estimated fair value used in determining the estimated future cash flows used in its impairment analysis, the estimated salvage value used in determining depreciation expense, the estimated on the percentage completion of spot voyages and the allowances for doubtful accounts.

Long-lived Assets Impairment Considerations

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred related to the sale of a vessel, as the carrying value exceeded its fair value. On January 18, 2023, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the m/v Bulk Newport for $8.9 million in net consideration after brokerage commissions. As a result, we recorded a loss on sale of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The Company performed an impairment analysis on each asset group and concluded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were higher than their carrying amounts and as such, no additional loss on impairment was recognized.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred related to the sale of a vessel, as the carrying value exceeded its fair value. On April 20, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the m/v Bulk Pangaea for $8.6 million in net consideration after brokerage commissions. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company performed an impairment analysis on each asset group and concluded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were higher than their carrying amounts and as such, no additional loss on impairment was recognized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has historically financed its capital requirements with cash flow from operations, the issuance of common stock, proceeds from non-controlling interests, and proceeds from long-term debt and finance lease financing arrangements. The Company has used its capital primarily to fund operations, vessel acquisitions, and the repayment of debt and the associated interest expense. The Company may consider debt or additional equity financing alternatives from time to time. However, if market conditions deteriorate, the Company may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms or at all. As a result, the Company may be unable to pursue opportunities to expand its business.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had working capital of $76.2 million and $130.3 million, respectively. The reduction in working capital was mainly attributed to (i) $34 million of cash acquisitions, including the m/v Bulk Prudence and the port and terminal operation in June of 2023 and (ii) $19.6 million reclassifications of long-term debt to current portion of long-term debt.

Cash Flows:

The table below summarizes our primary sources and uses of cash for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. We have derived these summarized statements of cash flows from the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Amounts in the table below have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Accordingly, certain amounts may not appear to recalculate due to the effect of rounding.


	For the six months ended
(In millions)	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022
Net cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities:
Net income adjusted for non-cash items	$	23.1	$	64.5

Investing activities	(23.7)		(10.2)
Financing activities	(34.0)		(13.1)
Net change	$	(44.1)	$	46.0

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $13.6 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $69.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The cash flows from operating activities decreased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the decrease in income from operations, and timing of customer receipts and supplier payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $23.7 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $10.2 million for the same period in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company (i) paid $27.0 million for the purchase of one vessel and other vessel improvements, (ii) paid $7.2 million for net, cash acquisition of a port and terminal operation. These uses of cash were partially offset by $8.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of one vessel. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid $18.5 million to purchase one vessel and other vessel improvements, these uses of cash were partially offset by $8.4 million from the sale of one vessel.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $34.0 million and $13.1 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repaid $9.1 million of long-term debt and $8.1 million of finance leases. The Company also paid $9.1 million in cash dividends to its shareholders and $7.5 million in cash dividends to non-controlling interest holders. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid $9.0 million of long term debt and $7.8 million of finance leases. The Company also paid $5.6 million in cash dividends to its shareholders and $5.0 million in cash dividends to non-controlling interest holders. These uses of cash were partially offset by $15.0 million proceeds from finance leases.

The Company has demonstrated its unique ability to adapt to changing market conditions by maintaining a nimble chartered-in profile to meet its cargo commitments. We believe, given our current cash holdings, if drybulk shipping rates do not decline significantly from current levels, our capital resources, including cash anticipated to be generated within the year, are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s capital expenditures relate to the purchase of vessels and interests in vessels, capital improvements to its vessels which are expected to enhance the revenue earning capabilities and safety of these vessels, as well as port & terminal operations. The Company’s owned or partially owned and controlled fleet at June 30, 2023 includes: nine Panamax drybulk carriers (six of which are Ice-Class 1A); eight Supramax drybulk carriers, three Ultramax drybulk carriers (Two of which are Ice-Class IC), and four Post Panamax Ice Class 1A drybulk vessels.

In addition to vessel acquisitions that the Company may undertake in future periods, its other major capital expenditures include funding its program of regularly scheduled drydockings necessary to make improvements to its vessels, as well as to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Funding expenses associated with these requirements will be met with cash from operations. The Company anticipates that this process of recertification will require it to reposition these vessels from a discharge port to shipyard facilities, which will reduce the Company’s available days and operating days during that period. The Company capitalized drydocking costs totaling approximately $3.4 million and $4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company expensed drydocking costs of approximately $90,000 and $4,000, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The lease expires in December 2025, at which time the lease continues on a month to month basis with a non-cancelable period of six months. The Company leases office space for its Singapore operations. In July 2023, the Company renewed its lease for a two year period. At June 30, 2023, the remaining lease term is twenty-six months. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized approximately $52,000 as lease expense for office leases in General and Administrative Expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized approximately $104,000 as lease expense for these office leases in General and Administrative Expenses. Legal Proceedings and Claims The Company is subject to certain asserted claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company intends to vigorously assert its rights and defend itself in any litigation that may arise from such claims. While the ultimate outcome of these matters could affect the results of operations of any one year, and while there can be no assurance with respect thereto, management believes that after final disposition, any financial impact to the Company would not be material to its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Time charter in contracts The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the charter hire payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is reflected as advance hire in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. As allowed by a practical expedient under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), the Company made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less, to forego recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on its balance sheet. For the quarter ending June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any time charter in contracts with terms greater than 12 months, as such charter hire expense presented on the consolidated statements of income are lease expenses for chartered in contracts less than 12 months. Time charter out contracts Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreed rate per day. The charterer has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The Company determined that all time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of ASC 842 because: (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset; (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights; and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use. At June 30, 2023, the Company had three vessel chartered to customers under time charters that contained a lease. These three leases varied in original length from 31 days to 68 days. The lease payments due under these arrangements totaled approximately $1,497,000 and each of the time charters were due to be completed in 41 days or less. At June 30, 2022, the Company had one vessel chartered to a customer under time charter that contained a lease. This lease's duration was 28 days. At June 30, 2022, lease payments due under this arrangement totaled approximately 125,000 and the time charter was due to be completed in 4 days. The Company does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases. Office leases The Company has four non-cancelable office and office equipment leases. The resulting lease assets and liabilities are not material. Revenue Recognition In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" or "despatch" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, with the amounts recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge. The voyage contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers because the Company, as the shipowner, retains control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch. During time charter agreements, the Company is paid to provide transportation services on a per day basis for a specified period of time. Revenues from time charters are earned and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter, the charterers have substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. As such, the Company has identified that time charter agreements contain a lease in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue is not earned when vessels are offhire. In a stevedore service contract, the Company is paid to provide cargo handling services on a per unit basis for a specified quantity of cargo. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a rate per unit of cargo handled. The contract may contain minimum quantities. Revenues from stevedore service contracts are earned and recognized on a per unit basis as completed over the performance period. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” which clarified that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition due to reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848," which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief under Topic 848. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
