Management Commentary
Dr. Loukas Barmparis, President of the Company,
said: "Key developments of the second quarter, include the
weakening of the chartering market, which we believe is reflective
of economic growth uncertainties, and the delivery of our fourth
newbuild. Our strong liquidity and comfortable leverage enable us
to be flexible with our capital, and at the same time reward our
shareholders with a dividend of five cents per share of common
stock."
Environmental Social Governance - 2022
Sustainability Report
In July 2023, the Company issued its 2022
Sustainability Report describing the progress of its environmental,
social and governance ("ESG") practices and its vision towards a
continual enhancement of its ESG standards. The 2022 Sustainability
Report has been prepared in accordance with the standards provided
in the new Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI") Sustainability
Reporting Guidelines, and the Sustainability Accounting Standards
Board ("SASB") recommendation for maritime transport, alongside
additional indicators that are materially important to us and our
stakeholders. We also support the UN Sustainable Development Goals
and have focused on areas which we believe have the greatest
impact. The report is available for download and can be accessed
from the Company's website using the link:

Dry-dockings
The Company is continuing the environmental
upgrade program of its existing fleet in relation to International
Maritime Organization ("IMO") greenhouse gas ("GHG") emission
regulations. As of July 21, 2023, 14 vessels in total have
been upgraded, with 7 more vessels targeted for upgrade by the end
of 2023. The low friction paint applications that are part of the
environmental upgrades are recorded as operating expenses, while
energy saving devices are capitalized and recorded as capital
expenditures.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company
completed environmental upgrades on six vessels, namely the MVs
Koulitsa 2, Maritsa, Kanaris, Andreas K, Marina and Aghia Sophia,
including exhaust gas cleaning device ("Scrubber") installation on
the Capesize class vessel Aghia Sophia. During the second quarter
of 2023, the Company commenced environmental upgrades, which were
still ongoing as of July 21, 2023, on the MVs Pedhoulas
Commander and Lake Despina, including Scrubber installation on the
Capesize class vessel Lake Despina. During the third quarter of
2023, the Company has scheduled in total environmental upgrades
during dry-dockings on four vessels, with an estimated aggregate
number of 120 down-time days. The Company continues to use biofuels
in certain voyages, targeting a lower carbon factor and lower
environmental impact through the consumption of less fossil
fuel.
Furthermore, the Company has a newbuild program
of 12 vessels in aggregate, of which 10 are Japanese-built and two
Chinese-built, designed to meet the IMO regulations related to the
reduction of GHG and NOx emissions (the ''IMO GHG Phase 3 - NOx
Tier III''). Four of such newbuild vessels have already been
delivered to us. The aggregate capital expenditure of the newbuild
program is approximately $409.6 million, of which $209.3 million
are remaining as of July 21, 2023.

Fleet update
As of July 21, 2023, we had a fleet of 44
vessels, consisting of 11 Panamax, 7 Kamsarmax, 18 Post-Panamax and
8 Capesize vessels, with an aggregate carrying capacity of 4.5
million dwt and an average age of 10.6 years. Twelve vessels in our
fleet are eco-ships built after 2014, and four vessels are IMO GHG
Phase 3 - NOx Tier III ships built 2022 onwards.
OrderbookAs of July 21, 2023, we had an
orderbook of eight IMO GHG Phase 3 - NOx Tier III Kamsarmax class
newbuilds, with three scheduled deliveries in 2023, three in 2024
and two in the first half of 2025.
Newbuild deliveryIn June 2023, the Company took
delivery of the Post-Panamax class vessel MV Climate Justice, its
fourth IMO GHG Phase 3 - NOx Tier III, Japanese newbuild.
Vessel saleIn March 2023, the Company entered
into an agreement to sell MV Efrossini, a 2012 Japanese-built,
Panamax class vessel to an unaffiliated third party at a gross sale
price of $22.5 million with a forward delivery date and charter her
back at a gross daily charter rate of $16,050 for a period of ten
to fourteen months. The sale was consummated in July 2023.
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 flows, while the vessels we deploy in
the spot market allow us to maintain our flexibility in low charter
market conditions as well as provide an opportunity for a potential
upside in our revenue when charter market conditions improve. The
chartering of our vessels is arranged by our Managers15 without any
management commission. As of July 21, 2023,
we employed, or had contracted to employ, (i) 13 vessels in the
spot time charter market (with up to three months original
duration) and (ii) 32 vessels in the period time charter market
(with original duration in excess of three months). Of the vessels
chartered in the period time charter market, 12 have an original
duration of more than one year, 11 of which have an original
duration of more than two years. As of July 21,
2023, the average remaining charter duration
across our fleet was 0.9 years.
As of July 21, 2023, we had contracted
revenue of approximately $212.3 million, net of commissions, from
our non-cancellable spot and period time charter contracts
excluding the Scrubber benefit. Given the volatility associated
with the Capesize charter market, as of July 21, 2023, all
eight of our Capesize class vessels have been chartered in period
time charters, five of which have remaining charter durations
exceeding one year. As of July 21, 2023, the average remaining
charter duration of our Capesize class vessels was 2.4 years and
the average daily charter hire was $22,178, resulting in a
contracted revenue of approximately $153.4 million net of
commissions, excluding the additional compensation related to the
use of Scrubbers. During the second quarter of 2023, we operated
44.01 vessels, on average earning a TCE of $17,271 compared to
41.04 vessels earning a TCE of $25,050 during the same period in
2022. Our contracted fleet employment profile as of July 21,
2023, is presented in Table 1.

DebtAs of June 30, 2023, our
consolidated debt before deferred financing costs was $453.2
million, including the €100 million - 2.95% p.a. fixed coupon, non
amortizing, unsecured bond issued in February 2022, maturing in
February 2027. As of June 30, 2023, our consolidated leverage16 was
approximately 35% and our weighted average interest rate during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2023 was 5.94% inclusive of the
applicable loan margin. During the three-month period ended June
30, 2023, we made scheduled principal payments of $6.2 million,
voluntary debt prepayments of $10.0 million and drawings of $39.0
million on our revolving facilities. The repayment schedule of our

Management Monaco Inc., and Safe Bulkers Management Limited, each
of which is referred to herein as "our Manager" and collectively
"our Managers".16 Consolidated leverage is a non-GAAP measure and
represents total consolidated liabilities divided by total
consolidated assets. Total consolidated assets are based on the
market value of all vessels, as provided by independent broker
valuers on quarter-end, owned or leased on a finance lease taking
into account their employment, and the book value of all other
assets. This measure assists our management and investors by
increasing the comparability of our leverage from period to
period.17 The fleet scrap value is calculated on the basis of fleet
aggregate light weight tons ("lwt") and market scrap rate of
$557.5/lwt ton (Clarksons data), on June 30, 2023.

War in Ukraine
As a result of the war between Russia and
Ukraine which commenced in February 2022, the US, the EU, the UK,
Switzerland and other countries and territories 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 crews,
our vessels currently do not sail in the Black Sea and we 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.

Management Discussion of
Second Quarter
2023 Results
During the second quarter of 2023, we operated
in a gradually weakening charter market environment compared to the
same period in 2022, with decreased revenues due to lower hires,
decreased earnings from Scrubber fitted vessels, increased
operating expenses, and higher interest expenses due to increasing
interest rates. During the second quarter of 2023, we operated
44.01 vessels on average earning an average TCE of $17,271 compared
to 41.04 vessels earning an average TCE of $25,050 during the same
period in 2022. The Company's net income for the second quarter of
2023 was $15.4 million compared to net income of $50.3 million
during the same period in 2022. The main factors driving the change
in net income are as follows:
Net revenues: Net revenues decreased by 23% to
$70.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $91.6
million for the same period in 2022. This is primarily due to lower
revenues from hires and decreased revenues earned by our Scrubber
fitted vessels.
Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating
expenses increased by 39% to $25.9 million for the second quarter
of 2023 compared to $18.6 million for the same period in 2022
mainly due to: (i) dry docking expenses which increased to $4.9
million related to four fully completed and four partially
completed drydockings during the second quarter of 2023 including
additional costs for low-friction paints as part of environmental
upgrades which are expensed, compared to $0.9 million related to
three partially completed drydockings for the same period of 2022,
(ii) spare parts increase to $3.1 million for the second quarter of
2023, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2022, mainly
as a result of the increased average number of vessels during the
second quarter of 2023 and the increased number of dry-dockings,
(iii) crew wages increase to $8.8 million for the second quarter of
2023, compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 2022, mainly
due to the increased average number of vessels during the second
quarter of 2023, and (iv) stores and provisions expenses increase
to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $2.1
million for the same period in 2022, mainly as a result of the
increased average number of vessels during the second quarter of
2023.The Company expenses dry-docking and pre-delivery costs as
incurred, which costs may vary from period to period. Excluding
dry-docking costs and pre-delivery expenses of $5.0 million and
$1.2 million for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively,
vessel operating expenses increased by 20% to $20.9 million during
the second quarter of 2023 in comparison to $17.4 million during
the same quarter of 2022. 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, while many do not include dry-docking
expenses within vessel operating expenses costs but present these
separately.
Depreciation: Depreciation expense increased by
$1.0 million, or 8% to $13.2 million for the second quarter of
2023, compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 2022, mainly
due to the increased number of vessels during the second quarter of
2023.
Interest expense: Interest expense increased to
$5.7 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $3.5 million
for the same period in 2022. This change is mainly due to the
increased weighted average interest rate of 5.94% during the second
quarter of 2023, compared to 2.93% for the same period in 2022, as
a result of the higher USD rates environment.
Daily vessel operating expenses: Daily vessel
operating expenses, calculated by dividing vessel operating
expenses by the ownership days of the relevant period, increased by
30% to $6,477 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $4,981 for
the same period in 2022 mainly due increased number of dry-dockings
and environmental upgrades. Daily vessel operating expenses
excluding dry-docking and predelivery expenses increased by 12% to
$5,224 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $4,648 for the
same period in 2022 mainly due to increased average number of
vessels operated and the inflationary environment.
Daily general and administrative expenses18:
Daily general and administrative expenses, which include management
fees payable to our Managers and daily company administration
expenses, increased by 4% to $1,435 for the second quarter of 2023,
compared to $1,382 for the same period in 2022, as a result of
increased public company expenses during the second quarter of
2023.
Balance sheet
Assets held for sale/Liabilities directly
associated with assets held for sale: As of June 30, 2023, we had
classified the assets and liabilities directly associated with the
vessel MV Efrossini as assets held for sale and presented them on
the balance sheet separately under (a) current assets in the amount
of $17.9 million, which represented the net book value of the
vessel and her inventories, and (b) liabilities directly associated
with assets held for sale of $2.3 million, representing the 10%
deposit on the sale price collected upon signing the agreement for
the sale of the vessel.

- EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net income
and Adjusted earnings per share are non-US GAAP financial
measurements.- EBITDA represents Net income before interest, income
tax expense, depreciation and amortization.- Adjusted EBITDA
represents EBITDA before gain on sale of assets, gain/(loss) on
derivatives and gain/(loss) on foreign currency.- Adjusted Net
income represents Net income before gain on sale of assets,
gain/(loss) on derivatives and gain/(loss) on foreign currency.-
Adjusted earnings per share represents Adjusted Net income less
preferred dividend divided by the weighted average number of
shares.- EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted
earnings 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 and Adjusted earnings
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 and Adjusted earnings 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 and Adjusted earnings 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 and Adjusted earnings 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.

(1) For existing vessels, the year represents
the year built. For any newbuilds, the date shown reflects the
expected delivery dates.(2) Quoted charter rates are the recognized
daily gross charter rates. For charter parties with variable rates
among periods or consecutive charter parties with the same

applicable. In the case of a charter agreement that provides for
additional payments, namely ballast bonus to compensate for vessel
repositioning, the gross daily charter rate presented has been
adjusted to reflect estimated vessel repositioning expenses. Gross
charter rates are inclusive of commissions. Net charter rates are
charter rates after the payment of commissions. In the case of

a pro rata basis over the duration of the voyage from load to
discharge port less related voyage expenses. (3) Commissions
