This document contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or
strategies regarding the future and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or

"potential“, "predict“, "project“, "should“, "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These
statements are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in
the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although management believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company’s control, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations,
beliefs or projections. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: changes in shipping industry trends, including charter rates, vessel
values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand; changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns; changes in the supply of or demand for dry bulk commodities, including dry bulk commodities carried
by sea, generally or in particular regions; changes in the number of new buildings under construction in the dry bulk shipping industry; changes in the useful lives and the value of the Company’s vessels and the
related impact on the Company’s compliance with loan covenants; the aging of the Company’s fleet and increases in operating costs; the Company’s ability to achieve successful utilization of its expanded fleet;
changes in the Company’s ability to complete acquisitions or dispositions; risks related to the Company’s business strategy, areas of possible expansion or expected capital spending or operating expenses;
changes to the Company’s financial condition and liquidity, including its ability to pay amounts that it owes and obtain additional financing to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate
activities; changes in the availability of crew, number of off-hire days, classification survey requirements and insurance costs for the vessels in the Company’s fleet; changes in the Company’s ability to leverage the
relationships and reputation in the dry bulk shipping industry of its managers; changes in the Company’s relationships with its contract counterparties, including the failure of any of its contract counterparties to
comply with their agreements with the Company; loss of our customers, charters or vessels; damage to the Company’s vessels; potential liability from future litigation and incidents involving the Company’s vessels;
the Company’s future operating or financial results; the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; acts of terrorism and other hostilities; changes in global and regional economic and political conditions; risks
associated with operations outside the United States; changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, particularly with respect to the dry bulk shipping industry; and other
factors listed from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC, including its most recent annual report on Form 20-F. These factors could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those
expressed in any of the forward-looking statements. Consequently, there can be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated in this document will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that
they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. Given these uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required
by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's
expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

Financials Summary
19
1. 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.
2. Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rate is defined as our net revenue less
voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our operating
days during the period. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel
oil and diesel oil) expenses, canal charges and other commissions. We
include TCE rate, a non-GAAP measure, as we believe it provides additional
meaningful information in conjunction with net revenues from vessels, the
most directly comparable US GAAP measure, and because it assists our
management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our
vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Our calculation of TCE
rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
3. Net of commissions
4. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
represents the sum of net income/(loss), interest and finance costs, interest
income, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a
period. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss represent EBITDA and Net
Loss respectively, adjusted to exclude the gain on debt refinancing that the
Company believes is not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core
operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adj. Net Loss are not recognized
measurements under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be
considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial
measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-
GAAP measures do not have standardized meanings, and are therefore
unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies. See the Appendix for full EBITDA, Adj. EBITDA and Adj. Net
Loss reconciliation.

Favorable supply side fundamentals
▪ Low secondhand prices compared to newbuilding prices have resulted in low levels of vessel contracting, as prospective returns
on new orders remain less attractive
▪ During the last 5 years, the ratio of second-hand acquisition values to NB contract prices peaked in January 2014 at 0.93x, or
39% higher than December 2018 levels of 0.67x
▪ Low ordering is expected to continue due to limited berths at quality yards, lack in available finance and competing fleet capex
demand
▪ Secondhand vessels continue to offer prospective returns superior to those on newbuildings
