Ownership days are the total number of calendar days in a period during which the vessels in a fleet have been owned or chartered in. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of the Company’s fleet over a
period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that the Company recorded during a period.
|
(2) |
Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. Available days are the number of ownership days less the aggregate number of days
that our vessels are off-hire due to major repairs, dry-dockings, lay-up or special or intermediate surveys. Operating days include the days that our vessels are in ballast voyages without having finalized agreements for their next
employment. The Company’s calculation of operating days may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
|
(3) |
Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that the vessels are generating revenue and is determined by dividing operating days by ownership days for the relevant period.
|
(4) |
TCE rate is defined as the Company’s net revenue less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of the Company’s operating days during the period. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel oil and diesel oil) expenses,
canal charges and other commissions. The Company includes the TCE rate, which is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP, as it believes it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with
net revenues from vessels, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and because it assists the Company’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because the Company believes that it provides
useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. The Company’s calculation of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the Company’s net revenues from vessels to
the TCE rate.

Vessel operating expenses include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricants, insurance, maintenance and repairs. Daily Vessel Operating Expenses are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses, excluding pre delivery
costs, by ownership days for the relevant time periods. The Company’s calculation of daily vessel operating expenses may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the Company’s vessel operating
expenses to daily vessel operating expenses.

Assuming that for our remaining operating days the average of the BCI will be equal to the average Capesize Forward Freight Agreement (“FFA”) rate of $15,700 per day (based on the FFA curve as of November 7, 2023), our estimated TCE rate
for the fourth quarter of 2023 will be approximately $19,480 (“1st scenario” mentioned in the table below).
|
• |
Assuming that for our remaining operating days the BCI will be equal to the average spot rate incurred from the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2023 at $23,700 per day, our estimated TCE rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 will be
approximately $22,800 (“2nd scenario” mentioned in the table below).
