Management Commentary
Dr. Loukas Barmparis, President of the Company,
said: "Key highlights of the second quarter, were a very
satisfactory financial performance of $0.40 per share and the
delivery of our first Kamsarmax newbuild. We believe that this
newbuild with the addition of the others we have on order, will
provide us with substantial operational and commercial advantages
coupled with a reduction of CO2 emissions per vessel. We believe,
our strong liquidity and relatively low leverage will enable us to
be flexible with our capital, while still rewarding our
shareholders."
Update on COVID-19, company's actions
and status
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant
impact on the shipping industry and seafarers in general, as port
lockdowns and travel restrictions were imposed globally during 2020
and 2021 and continue in 2022. The Company has worked extensively
to find solutions focusing on effectively managing crew changes
despite such ongoing port lockdowns and travel restrictions. The
Company has also taken measures to protect its seafarers' and shore
employees' health and well-being, keep its vessels sailing with
minimal disruption to their trading ability, service its
charterers, continue vessels' maintenance and dry-dockings and
mitigate and address the risks, effects and impact of COVID-19 on
its operations and financial performance.
There has been a negative effect from the
COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's results of operations and
financial condition during the second quarter of 2022, due to crew
repatriation and related costs of about $0.5 million compared to
pre-COVID-19 period. Certain delays are also expected in relation
to dry-docking durations and schedules due to restrictions imposed
in China. Any future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s results of
operations and financial condition and any long-term impact of the
pandemic on the dry bulk industry, will depend on future
developments, which could impact world trade and global growth.
Conflict in Ukraine
As a result of the conflict between Russia and
Ukraine which commenced in February 2022, the US, the EU, the UK,
Switzerland and others have announced unprecedented levels of
sanctions and other measures against Russia and certain Russian
entities and nationals. We intend on complying with these
requirements and addressing their potential consequences. While we
do not have any Ukrainian or Russian crew, our vessels currently do
not sail in tea and we otherwise conduct limited operations in
Russia and Ukraine, we will continue to monitor the situation to
assess whether the conflict could have any impact on our operations
or financial performance.
At-the-market equity offering
program
In August 2020, the Company filed a prospectus
supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),
under which it could offer and sell shares of its common stock
(“Shares”) from time to time up to aggregate sales proceeds of
$23.5 million through an “at-the-market” equity offering program
(the “ATM Program”). In May 2021, the Company filed a supplement to
its prospectus supplement to increase the capacity under the ATM
Program to allow for sales of Shares for aggregate gross offering
proceeds of up to $100.0 million.
Since September 27, 2021 the Company has not
sold any shares of common stock under the ATM Program. Since the
inception of the ATM Program the Company had sold 19,417,280 shares
of common stock under the ATM Program with aggregate net offering
proceeds to the Company of $71.5 million. Shares of common stock
with aggregate sales proceeds of up to $28.5 million remain
available for sale. Presently, the ATM Program is inactive.
Redemption of Series C Preferred
Shares
On March 30, 2022, the Company issued a notice
of redemption of 1,492,554 Series C Preferred Shares representing
approximately 65% of the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares. The
redemption was completed on April 29, 2022, at a redemption price
of $25.00 per Series C Preferred Share, plus all accumulated and
unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, in the
aggregate amount of $38.1 million. Following this redemption, there
are 804,950 Series C Preferred Shares outstanding.
Common Stock Repurchase
Program
In June 2022, the Company authorized a program
under which it may from time to time in the future purchase up to
5,000,000 shares of its common stock. As of July 22, 2022,
1,000,000 shares of common stock had been repurchased and cancelled
under the repurchase program.
Fleet update
As of July 22, 2022, we had a fleet of 42
vessels, consisting of 12 Panamax, 8 Kamsarmax, 15 Post-Panamax and
7 Capes with an aggregate capacity of 4.2 million dwt and average
age of 10.5 years, having taken delivery of one newbuild Kamsarmax
class and one second-hand Capesize class vessel during the second
quarter of 2022. In addition, during the second quarter of 2022 we
have agreed to acquire one second-hand Capesize class vessel and in
the aggregate we have on order 10 newbuilds.
Newbuild deliveries
In May 2022, the Company acquired the first of
its 11 ultra eco newbuilds on order, the MV Vassos, a Japanese IMO
GHG -EEDI Phase 3, NOx-Tier III, Kamsarmax class vessel. Upon its
delivery MV Vassos was sold to a third party and leased back on a
bareboat charter basis, for a period of 10 years with a purchase
obligation at the end of the 10th year and purchase options after
the third year of the bareboat charter, at predetermined purchase
prices. In view of the repurchase obligation, the Company has
assessed that the transaction be recorded as financing
transaction.
Second-hand acquisitions
In April 2022, the Company agreed to purchase
the MV Michalis H, a 2012-built, Chinese, dry-bulk, 180,400 dwt,
Capesize class vessel for $30.0 million before commissions. The
vessel was delivered to the Company in May 2022, and the purchase
was funded from the cash reserves of the Company.
In May 2022, the Company agreed to purchase a
2012-built, Chinese, dry-bulk, 176,000 dwt, Capesize class vessel,
to be named MV Aghia Sofia, for $31.75 million before commissions.
The vessel is expected to be delivered to the Company in August
2022, upon completion of its scheduled dry docking by its current
owners, which includes ballast water treatment installation,
sandblasting and painting of cargo holds and environmental
upgrading with ultra-low friction paints, as per our requirements.
The vessel's purchase will also be funded from the cash reserves of
the Company.
Newbuild orders
As of July 22, 2022, the orderbook of the
Company, having been increased by two newbuilds in May 2022,
consisted in the aggregate of 10 ultra eco, dry-bulk newbuilds, of
which seven were Kamsarmax class vessels and three were
Post-Panamax class vessels, with scheduled deliveries of one in
July 2022 (the Post-Panamax class MV Climate Respect), five in
2023, three in 2024 and one in 2025. All newbuilds on the Company's
orderbook are designed to meet the Phase 3 requirements of Energy
Efficiency Design Index related to the reduction of green house gas
emissions (''GHG -EEDI Phase 3'') as adopted by the International
Maritime Organization, ("IMO") and also comply with the latest NOx
emissions regulation, NOx-Tier III (IMO, MARPOL Annex VI, reg.
13).
Chartering our fleet
Our vessels are used to transport bulk cargoes,
particularly coal, grain and iron ore, along worldwide shipping
routes. We intend to employ our vessels on both period time
charters and spot time charters, according to our assessment of
market conditions. Our customers represent some of the world’s
largest consumers of marine drybulk transportation services. The
vessels we deploy on period time charters provide us with visible
and relatively stable cash flow, while the vessels we deploy in the
spot market allow us to maintain our flexibility in low charter
market conditions and provide an opportunity for a potential upside
in our revenue when charter market conditions improve. The
chartering of our vessels is managed by our Managers15 without
management commission. The average total chartering commission
including 3rd party brokers was approximately 4% during the second
quarter of 2022; lower than the standard industry average of 5%, as
a result of our Managers' relations forged over the years with our
Managers' counterparts.
As of July 22, 2022, we
employed, or had contracted to employ, 9 vessels in the spot time
charter market (with up to 3 months original duration) and 33
vessels in the period time charter (with original duration in
excess of 3 months), 12 of which have original duration of more
than 1 year, and 11 have original duration of more than 2 years. As
of July 22, 2022, the average remaining
charter duration across our fleet was 1.1 years.
In May 2022, the Company entered into a
long-term period time charter for the Capesize class vessel MV
Pelopidas, with forward delivery date in June 2022, for duration of
3 years at a gross daily charter rate of $25,250 plus compensation
for the use of the exhaust gas cleaning device ("Scrubber"). The
charter agreement also grants the charterer an option to extend the
period time charter for an additional year at the same gross daily
charter rate. This employment is anticipated to generate
approximately US$27.6 million of gross revenue from charter hire
and about $5.4 million from scrubber use assuming a $220 spread per
metric ton, for the minimum scheduled 3 year period of the time
charter.
In June 2022, the Company entered into a
long-term period time charter for the Capesize class vessel MV
Michalis H, with forward delivery date in September 2022, for a
minimum duration of 3 years at a gross daily charter rate of
$23,000 plus compensation for the use of the Scrubber. The charter
agreement also grants the charterer an option to extend the period
time charter for an additional year at the same gross daily charter
rate. This employment is anticipated to generate approximately
US$25.2 million of gross revenue from charter hire for the minimum
duration of 3 years and about $5.4 million from scrubber use
assuming a $220 spread per metric ton, for the minimum scheduled 3
year period of the time charter.
During the second quarter of 2022, we operated
41.04 vessels on average earning a TCE of $25,050 compared to 41.49
vessels earning a TCE of $21,098 during the same period in 2021.

Dry-dockings
The Company continues the retrofit of its
vessels with BWTS having installed such systems on 40 out of 42
existing vessels as of July 22, 2022. Furthermore, the Company
has installed Scrubbers on 18 out of 42 existing vessels as of July
22, 2022 and has agreed five additional Scrubber installations, for
four of its existing Capesize class vessels and for the second-hand
Capesize class vessel expected to be delivered in August 2022.
Furthermore, the Company is pursuing a vessel
upgrade program during dry-dockings, in the amount of about $2.2
million for 2022, which involves environmental upgrades including
application of low friction paints and installation of energy
saving devices. The upgrades on the MV Efrossini, MV Pedhoulas
Rose, MV Venus Horizon and MV Pelopidas were completed during the
first half of 2022, and we expect to implement such upgrades during
the remainder of this year in the vessels MV Katerina and MV
Sophia.
The Company has scheduled three dry-dockings for
the second half of calendar year 2022, with an estimated aggregate
number of 57 down-time days during the third quarter 2022 and 35
down-time days during the fourth quarter 2022.

Management Discussion of Second Quarter
2022 Results
During the second quarter of 2022, we operated
in an improved charter market environment compared to the same
period of 2021, with lower interest expenses and increased revenues
which also include earnings from Scrubber fitted vessels. During
the second quarter of 2022, we had a TCE of $25,050 compared to a
TCE of $21,098 during the same period in 2021. The net income for
the second quarter of 2022 reached $50.3 million compared to net
income of $32.4 million during the same period in 2021. In more
detail, the change in net income resulted from the following main
factors:
Net revenues: Net revenues increased by 12% to
$91.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $81.6
million for the same period in 2021, mainly due to the increased
TCE rate as a result of the improved market, assisted by the
additional revenues earned by our Scrubber fitted vessels.
Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating
expenses marginally increased by 1% to $18.6 million for the second
quarter of 2022 compared to $18.4 million for the same period in
2021. Certain detailed information for the costs included in the
vessel operating expenses are subsequently provided: (i) dry
docking expense decreased to $0.9 million related to three
partially completed drydockings during the second quarter of 2022,
compared to $1.2 million related to two fully and one partially
completed dry dockings for the same period of 2021, (ii) spare
parts decreased to $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2022,
compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2021, (iii) crew
repatriation and related costs decreased to $1.1 million for the
second quarter of 2022 compared to $1.3 million for the same period
in 2021, as a result of gradual easing of travelling restrictions,
(iv) repairs and maintenance marginally increased to $1.3 million
compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2021, (v) insurance
cost marginally increased to $1.1 million for the second quarter of
2022 compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2021 and (vi)
lubricants cost increased to $1.4 million for the second quarter of
2022, compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2021 due to
lubricants cost appreciation. The Company expenses dry-docking and
pre-delivery costs as incurred, which costs may vary from period to
period. Excluding dry-docking and pre-delivery costs of $1.2
million and $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021,
respectively, vessel operating expenses increased by 2% to $17.4
million during the second quarter of 2022 in comparison to $17.1
million during the same quarter of 2021. Dry-docking expense is
related to the number of dry-dockings in each period and
pre-delivery expenses are related to the number of vessel
deliveries and second hand acquisitions in each period. Other
shipping companies may defer and amortize dry-docking expense and
many do not include dry-docking expenses within vessel operating
expenses costs but present these separately.
Depreciation: Depreciation expense decreased by
$0.8 million, or 6% to $12.2 million for the second quarter of
2022, compared to $13.0 million for the same period in 2021, mainly
as a result of changing the estimate of vessels' residual value,
from a scrap rate of $182 per light weight ton to $375 per light
weight ton, effective January 1, 2022. The basic and diluted net
earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 would
have been $0.38 per share and $0.38 per share, respectively, if
there was no change in the estimated scrap value, representing a
$0.02 and $0.02 change to the basic and diluted net earnings per
share, respectively.
Interest expense: Interest expense decreased to
$3.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $4.1 million
for the same period in 2021, as a result of the reduction of the
outstanding loans.
(Loss)/Gain on derivatives: Loss on derivatives
amounted to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to
a loss of $2.3 million for the same period in 2021, as a result of
the termination of all outstanding interest rate derivative
contracts during the first quarter of 2022.
Daily vessel operating expenses: Daily vessel
operating expenses, calculated by dividing vessel operating
expenses by the ownership days of the relevant period, increased by
2% to $4,981 for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $4,874 for
the same period in 2021. Daily vessel operating expenses excluding
dry-docking and pre-delivery expenses increased by 2% to $4,648 for
the second quarter of 2022 compared to $4,539 for the same period
in 2021.
Daily general and administrative expenses17:
Daily general and administrative expenses, which include management
fees payable to our Managers and daily company administrations
expenses, decreased by 7% to $1,382 for the second quarter of 2022,
compared to $1,488 for the same period in 2021, as a result of the
weakening of the Euro / U.S. Dollar exchange rate during the 2nd
quarter of 2022.
Balance sheet
Right-of-use asset/Lease Liability: As of June
30, 2022, we had classified the asset and liability directly
associated with the acquisition of the vessel Stelios Y: as (a)
Right-of-use asset and presented it on the balance sheet separately
under Fixed assets in the amount of $31.2 million, which represents
(i) the advance payments and additional purchase costs paid for the
vessel and (ii) the future payments under the 12-month period
bareboat charter that commenced in November 2021 net of accumulated
depreciation of $1.0 million, and as (b) Current Lease liabilities
of $19.6 million, representing the outstanding balance of the
present value of the lease payments of the above mentioned 12-month
bareboat charter.

- EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net
income/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share are not
recognized measurements under USGAAP.- EBITDA represents Net
income/(loss) before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization.- Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before impairment
and loss on vessels held for sale, gain/(loss) on sale of assets,
gain/(loss) on derivatives, early redelivery income/(cost), other
operating expenses and gain/(loss) on foreign currency.- Adjusted
Net income/(loss) represents Net income/(loss) before impairment
and loss on vessels held for sale, gain/(loss) on sale of assets,
gain/(loss) on derivatives, early redelivery income/(cost),other
operating expenses and gain/(loss) on foreign currency.- Adjusted
earnings/(loss) per share represents Adjusted Net income/(loss)
less preferred dividend and mezzanine equity measurement divided by
the weighted average number of shares.- EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Net income/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share
are used as supplemental financial measures by management and
external users of financial statements, such as investors, to
assess our financial and operating performance. The Company
believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist our
management and investors by increasing the comparability of our
performance from period to period. The Company believes that
including these supplemental financial measures assists our
management and investors in (i) understanding and analyzing the
results of our operating and business performance, (ii) selecting
between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (iii)
monitoring our financial and operational performance in assessing
whether to continue investing in us. The Company believes that
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net income/(loss) and Adjusted
earnings/(loss) per share are useful in evaluating the Company’s
operating performance from period to period because the calculation
of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financings, income
taxes and the accounting effects of capital expenditures and
acquisitions, the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net
Income/(loss) generally further eliminates from EBITDA and Net
Income/(loss) respectively the effects from impairment and loss on
vessels held for sale, gain/(loss) on sale of assets, gain/(loss)
on derivatives, early redelivery income/(cost), other operating
expenses and gain/(loss) on foreign currency, items which may vary
from year to year and for different companies for reasons unrelated
to overall operating performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
Net income/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share have
limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in
isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results
as reported under US GAAP. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Net income/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share,
are frequently used as measures of operating results and
performance, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly
titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of
calculation. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net
income/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share, you should be
aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as
or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our
presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net income/(loss) and
Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share should not be construed as an
inference that our future results will be unaffected by the
excluded items.

_____________
(1) Ownership days represent the aggregate
number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet
has been owned by us. (2) Available days represent the total number
of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was in
our possession, net of off-hire days associated with scheduled
maintenance, which includes major repairs, drydockings, vessel
upgrades or special or intermediate surveys. (3) Average number of
vessels in the period is calculated by dividing ownership days in
the period by the number of days in that period. (4) Time charter
equivalent rate, or TCE rate, represents our charter revenues less
commissions and voyage expenses during a period divided by the
number of available days during such period. TCE rate is a standard
shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare
daily earnings generated by vessels on period time charters and
spot time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on
voyage charters, because charter rates for vessels on voyage
charters are generally not expressed in per day amounts, while
charter rates for vessels on period time charters and spot time
charters generally are expressed in such amounts. We have only
rarely employed our vessels on voyage charters and, as a result,
generally our TCE rates approximate our time charter rates. (5)
Daily vessel operating expenses are calculated by dividing vessel
operating expenses for the relevant period by ownership days for
such period. Vessel operating expenses include crewing, insurance,
lubricants, spare parts, provisions, stores, repairs, maintenance
including dry-docking, statutory and classification expenses and
other miscellaneous items. (6) Daily vessel operating expenses
excluding dry-docking and pre-delivery expenses are calculated by
dividing vessel operating expenses excluding dry-docking and
pre-delivery expenses for the relevant period by ownership days for
such period. Dry-docking expenses include costs of shipyard, paints
and agent expenses and pre-delivery expenses include initially
supplied spare parts, stores, provisions and other miscellaneous
items provided to a newbuild acquisition prior to their operation.
(7) Daily general and administrative expenses are calculated by
dividing general and administrative expenses for the relevant
period by ownership days for such period. Daily general and
administrative expenses include daily management fees payable to
our Managers and daily company administration expenses.
