Management Commentary

 

“We are pleased to sustain our strong performance for the second quarter and the first half of the year. We continue to prosper and take advantage of the excellent TC rates available during the first half year. Our revenue has increased 181% in Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021. Our daily TCE was $22,837 per day in Q2 2022 compared to $11,781 per day in Q2 2021.

 

“Our Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter and first half of 2022 was $13.6 million and $27.4 million respectively an increase of 339% and 523% respectively when compared to the same periods in 2021.

 

“As previously announced, in the second quarter, we completed three new building orders for the acquisition of fuel-efficient Motor Bulk Carriers with reputable shipyards both in Japan and China.

 

“On the Financing front, we have reached an agreement with our current lender to finance our newly acquired vessel M/V Orion Globe (for details please read the relative section) for $18 million and added the vessel in to the current encumbrance scheme with the rest of the group. By doing this our gain was twofold, we have been able to enhance our cash position by $18 million and also succeeded to reduce the applicable margin from 3.75% to 3.35% for the whole CIT loan facility.

 

“Although we have recently seen TC easing back a bit, nearly all the markets are well above trend. We continue to believe that the freight rates will remain healthy for the foreseeable future.”

 

Recent Developments

 

Contract for new building vessels

 

On April 29, 2022, the Company signed a contract for the construction and purchase of one fuel-efficient bulk carrier of about 64,000 dwt. The vessel will be built at Nihon Shipyard Co. in Japan and is scheduled to be delivered during the first half of 2024. The total consideration for the construction of the vessel is approximately $37.5 million, which the Company intends to finance with a combination of debt and equity. In May 2022 the Company paid the 1st instalment of $7.4 million.

 

On May 13, 2022, the Company signed two contracts for the construction and purchase of two fuel-efficient bulk carriers of about 64,000 dwt each. The sister vessels will be built at Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering Co. in China with the first one scheduled to be delivered during the third quarter of 2024 and the second one during the fourth quarter of 2024. The total consideration for the construction of both vessels is approximately $70.3 million, which the Company intends to finance with a combination of debt and equity. In May 2022 the Company paid the 1st instalment of $13.8 million for both vessels under construction.

 

Debt financing

 

In August 2022, the Company reached an agreement with First Citizens Bank & Trust Company (formerly known as CIT Bank N.A.) for a deed of accession, amendment and restatement of the “CIT loan facility” (as referred in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report) by the accession of an additional borrower in order to increase the loan facility from a total of $34.25 million to $52.25 million, by a top up loan amount of $18 million for the purpose of financing vessel M/V Orion Globe and for general corporate and working capital purposes of all the borrowers and Globus. The CIT loan facility (including the new top up loan amount) is now further secured by a first preferred mortgage over the vessel M/V Orion Globe. Furthermore, the benchmark rate was amended from LIBOR to SOFR and the applicable margin from 3.75% to 3.35% for the whole CIT loan facility. The Company also entered into a new swap agreement in order for the additional borrower to enter into hedging transactions (separately from those entered by the other borrowers) with First Citizens Bank & Trust Company (formerly known as CIT Bank N.A.).

 

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Business

 

The spread of the COVID-19 virus, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in 2020 has caused substantial disruptions in the global economy and the shipping industry, as well as significant volatility in the financial markets, the severity and duration of which remains uncertain.

 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold and may continue to have a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial performance and the results of its operations. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. Besides reducing demand for cargo, coronavirus may functionally limit the amount of cargo that the Company and its competitors are able to move because countries worldwide have imposed quarantine checks on arriving vessels, which have caused delays in loading and delivery of cargoes.

 

The Company has evaluated the impact of current economic situation on the recoverability of the carrying amount of its vessels. For the first half of 2022 and 2021 the Company evaluated the carrying amount of its vessels and concluded that no impairment of its vessels should be recorded, or previously recognized impairment should be reversed.

 

Conflicts

 

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which commenced in February 2022, has disrupted supply chains and caused instability and significant volatility in the global economy. Much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict in Ukraine, and it is possible that such instability, uncertainty and resulting volatility could significantly increase the costs of the Company and adversely affect its business, including the ability to secure charters and financing on attractive terms, and as a result, adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. Currently there is no direct effect on the Company’s operations.

 

Earnings Highlights

 

		Three months ended June 30,								Six months ended June 30,
(Expressed in thousands of U.S dollars except for daily rates and per share data)		2022				2021				2022				2021
Revenue			19,142				6,829				37,583				11,996

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). See a later section of this press release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss) and net cash generated from operating activities, which are the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with the GAAP measures.

(2)

The weighted average number of shares for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, was 20,582,301 compared to 9,001,704 shares for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The weighted average number of shares for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, was 20,582,301 compared to 10,774,058 shares for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.

 

Second quarter of the year 2022 compared to the second quarter of the year 2021

Net income for the second quarter of the year 2022 amounted to $11 million or $0.54 basic income per share based on 20,582,301 weighted average number of shares compared to net loss of $23 thousand for the same period last year.

 

Revenue

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, our Revenues reached $19.1 million and $6,8 million, respectively. The 181% increase in Revenues was mainly attributed to the increase in the average time charter rates achieved by our vessels during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Daily Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) for the second quarter of 2022 was $22,837 per vessel per day against $11,781 per vessel per day during the same period in 2021 corresponding to an increase of 94%. Furthermore, the Company operated a fleet of 9 vessels during the 2^nd quarter of 2022 compared to an average of 6.2 vessels for the same period in 2021.

 

First half of the year 2022 compared to the first half of the year 2021

Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, amounted to $23.1 million or $1.12 basic income per share based on 20,582,301 weighted average number of shares, compared to net loss of $0.8 million for the same period last year or $0.09 basic loss per share based on 9,001,704 weighted average number of shares.

 

Revenue

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, our Revenues reached $37.6 million and $12 million, respectively. The 213% increase in Revenues was mainly attributed to the increase in the average time charter rates achieved by our vessels during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Daily Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) for the six-month period of 2022 was $23,238 per vessel per day against $10,859 per vessel per day during the same period in 2021, corresponding to an increase of 114%, which is attributed to the better conditions throughout the bulk market for the first half of 2022. Furthermore, the Company operated a fleet of 9 vessels during the 1^st half of 2022 compared to an average of 6.1 vessels for the same period in 2021.

Notes:

(1)

Ownership days are the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us.

(2)

Available days are the number of ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys.

(3)

Operating days are the number of available days less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances but excluding days during which vessels are seeking employment.

(4)

We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during the period.

(5)

Average number of vessels is measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during a relevant period divided by the number of calendar days in such period.

(6)

TCE rates are our voyage revenues less net revenues from our bareboat charters less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our available days during the period which is consistent with industry standards. TCE is a measure not in accordance with GAAP.

(7)

We calculate daily vessel operating expenses by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant time period.

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest and finance costs net, gains or losses from the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, foreign exchange gains or losses, income taxes, depreciation, depreciation of dry-docking costs, amortization of fair value of time charter acquired, impairment and gains or losses on sale of vessels. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or cash generated from operations, as determined by IFRS, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under IFRS.

  

Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which we assess our financial performance and because we believe that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness and it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are:

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs; and

·

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business.

 

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss) and net cash generated from operating activities for the periods presented:
