Ulrik Andersen, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"Golden Ocean delivered another strong quarter on the back of a firm Panamax market and a high degree of contract coverage for our Capesize fleet secured at attractive
levels last year.
With the anticipated strengthening of the freight market in the second half of the year, we expect to generate significant cash flows. Given our strong balance sheet and
low debt, our capital allocation strategy will continue to focus on returning capital to our shareholders.
Although the global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic faces numerous new challenges, we maintain an optimistic outlook due to healthy forecasted demand growth and an
extremely favorable fleet supply dynamic. Fleet growth is slowing significantly, and new environmental regulations will both reduce effective fleet supply and create a further competitive advantage for Golden Ocean due to our fleet's scale, modernity
and fuel efficiency.”

GOLDEN OCEAN GROUP LIMITED, FIRST QUARTER 2022
Fleet Development & Performance
As of the date of this report, the Company's fleet consists of 94 vessels and newbuildings, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 13.4 million dwt. The Company's
fleet consists of:
|
a.
|
78 vessels owned by the Company (48 Capesize, 28 Panamax and two Ultramax vessels);
|
|
b.
|
Eight Capesize vessels chartered in on long-term leases with profit-sharing arrangements;
|
|
c.
|
One Ultramax vessel chartered in; and
|
|
d.
|
Seven 85,000 dwt Kamsarmax vessels on order.
|
In February 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell three older Panamax vessels, Golden Empress, Golden Enterprise and Golden Endeavour to an unrelated third
party for $52.0 million en-bloc. The vessels were delivered to their new owner in April and May 2022, and the total estimated net cash flows from the sale after repayment of related debt is approximately $30.7 million. The Company expects to record a
gain of approximately $9.6 million from the sale in the second quarter of 2022.
The Company's estimated TCE rates for the second quarter of 2022 are $28,300 per day for 78% of available days for Capesize vessels and $27,500 per day for 77% of
available days for Panamax vessels. These estimates are forward looking statements and are based on time charter contracts entered into by the Company as well as current spot fixtures on the load-to-discharge method, whereby revenue is recognized on
a straight-line basis over the voyage from the commencement of loading to the completion of discharge. The actual TCE rates to be earned will depend on the number of contracted days as well as the number of ballast days at the end of the period when
a vessel is sailing without cargo. According to the load-to-discharge accounting method, the Company will not be able to recognize revenue for any ballast days or uncontracted days at the end of the second quarter of 2022. At the same time, expenses
for uncontracted days cannot be deferred and will be recognized.
The Company has continued to opportunistically secure charter coverage at highly profitable rates. For the third quarter of 2022, the Company has secured 15% of total
days at an average rate of $38,200 per day for Capesize vessels and 33% of total days for Panamax vessels at an average rate of $34,900 per day.
Corporate Development
In January 2022, SwissMarine Pte. Ltd. ("SwissMarine") fully repaid the outstanding shareholder loan of $5.35 million to the Company. (See Note 10, "Related Party Transactions").
In March 2022, the Company's ownership in SwissMarine was diluted from 17.5% to 16.4% as a result of issuance of shares by SwissMarine. The Company received a dividend
of $6.6 million from SwissMarine in the first quarter of 2022.
The Company announced today a cash dividend of $0.50 per share in respect of the first quarter of 2022, which is payable on or about June 8, 2022 to shareholders of
record on June 1, 2022. Shareholders holding the Company’s shares through Euronext VPS may receive this cash dividend later on or about June 10, 2022.
GOLDEN OCEAN GROUP LIMITED, FIRST QUARTER 2022
First Quarter 2022 Results
First quarter 2022 income statements
The Company reported net income of $125.3 million and basic earnings per share of $0.63 (basic) for the first quarter of 2022, compared to net income of $203.8 million
and earnings per share of $1.02 (basic) for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was $149.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $94.2 million from $243.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Operating revenues were $265.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $116.6 million from $381.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Six vessels were in
drydock during the first quarter of 2022 compared to five vessels in drydock during the fourth quarter of 2021 contributing to an increase in off-hire days to 294 days from 201 days in the fourth quarter of 2021. Voyage expenses decreased by $12.7
million to $56.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of a decrease in voyage days in the period and the corresponding decrease in bunker consumption and port costs, which was partially offset by increases in bunker prices.
Other operating expenses under the Company's revenue sharing agreements were $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of
2021. The decrease was due to settlements made with Capesize Chartering Ltd., or CCL, in the fourth quarter of 2021 following the termination of the CCL pool agreement in August 2021.
The Company achieved an average TCE rate for the fleet of $24,330 per day in the first quarter of 2022 compared to that of $35,256 per day in the fourth quarter of 2021.
No gain from sale of vessels was recorded in the first quarter of 2022. Gain from sale of vessels of $4.9 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to
sale of the Panamax vessel Golden Endurer.
Ship operating expenses amounted to $58.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $57.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. In the first quarter of 2022,
ship operating expenses mainly consisted of $48.6 million in running and other sundry expenses (compared to $49.2 million of running expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021) and $4.9 million in drydocking expenses ($5.1 million in the fourth quarter
of 2021). Running expenses mainly consisted of crew costs, repair and maintenance, spares and insurance. COVID-19 continues to impact the operating cost and efficiency of the fleet, in particular with respect to crewing.
Charter hire expenses were $10.3 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $11.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in charter hire expenses
was mainly the result of lower charter rates partially offset by increased chartered-in days in during the quarter.
Administrative expenses were $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared with $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Depreciation was $32.4 million in the
first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.0 million compared to $33.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 mainly related to fewer calendar days in the quarter.
GOLDEN OCEAN GROUP LIMITED, FIRST QUARTER 2022
Net interest expense was $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, slightly lower than $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a $18.8 million net gain on derivatives, mainly relating to a $16.5 million gain on USD interest rate swaps, as well
as a $2.3 million gain on the Company's bunker and forward freight derivatives.
The Company recorded a gain from associated companies of $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, mainly related to a gain of $12.5 million from its investments in SwissMarine and a $2.0
million gain from its investments in United Freight Carriers LLC and TFG Marine. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an unrealized mark-to-market loss of $0.3 million on shares in Eneti Inc. (NYSE:NETI).

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $115.7 million, including restricted cash balances of $8.4 million. This represented a decrease of
$94.3 million compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2021. During this period, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $123.6 million, which included a negative working capital change of $6.3 million and dividends of $6.6 million
received from SwissMarine.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, total net cash provided by investing activities was $4.0 million and was primarily related to the full repayment of a $5.4
million shareholder loan from SwissMarine. The increase was offset by $1.4 million in payments for the installation of ballast water treatment systems.
Net cash used in financing activities was $221.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. This included $180.4 million in dividend payments, $26.4 million in scheduled debt
repayment, $6.8 million in repayment of debt in connection with the sale of Golden Endeavour and $8.3 million repayment of finance leases.
As of March 31, 2022, the book value of long-term debt was $1,229.9 million, including the current portion of long-term debt of $104.4 million. The book value of finance
lease obligations was $121.5 million, including the current portion of finance lease obligations of $20.1 million. In addition, the Company had $100.0 million in undrawn available capacity under its revolving credit facilities.
The Dry Bulk Market
The first quarter of 2022 was impacted by several expected factors, including a return to normal seasonality that was largely absent in 2021. Additionally, decreased
industrial production in China ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics resulted in the temporary closure of number of factories in certain industrial hubs in an effort to decrease pollution. The start of 2022 also saw the emergence of the Omicron variant
of COVID-19, which spread rapidly and for a brief period of time ushered in a return to conditions seen at the start of the pandemic. In February, Russia launched its initial incursion into Ukraine, having consequences on a global scale, which have
already upended long-standing dry bulk trade routes.
GOLDEN OCEAN GROUP LIMITED, FIRST QUARTER 2022
In the first quarter of 2022, global dry bulk fleet utilization (calculated as total ton-mile demand divided by total available fleet capacity) was 89.5%, a decrease
from 93.0% in the prior quarter, according to Maritime Analytics. Despite the decline, utilization remained firm in a historical and seasonal context. Total seaborne transportation of dry bulk goods was 1,128 mt in the first quarter of 2022,
representing a 7.1% decrease from 1,214 mt in the fourth quarter of 2021 and a 1.0% decrease from 1,139 mt in the first quarter of 2021.
After declining by 6.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the prior quarter, Chinese steel production rebounded by 8.4% in the first quarter of 2022. This
increase occurred despite steel production declining in February 2022 to levels not seen since the start of the pandemic and the continued strain of China’s “zero COVID” policy. Looking forward, many analysts expect China to increase public
infrastructure spending to support its economy. In the meantime, Indian steel production has been consistently increasing as the Indian government targets to double steel production capacity by 2030.
With respect to the war in Ukraine, it should be noted that Russia and Ukraine combined account for approximately 10% of global steel trade and supply approximately 30%
of Europe’s steel imports. Steel buyers will need to find alternative supplies to substitute for steel and semi-finished products sourced from Russia and Ukraine, which will likely stimulate seaborne trade routes. Indian steel exports, in particular,
are expected to reach record levels in 2022.
Chinese iron ore imports declined by 5.1% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter and 5.4% compared to the first quarter of 2021 as industrial
production was curtailed ahead of and during the Winter Olympics. Brazilian iron ore exports declined by 20.6% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 as weather disruptions impacted logistics and mining activities. This
trend reversed in March when export volumes exceeded two-year averages. Despite lower demand for iron ore for steel production and production halts in Brazil, Chinese iron ore imports exceeded average quarterly import levels for the three years prior
to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, implying a higher baseline level of demand.
Seaborne transportation of coal decreased by 12.7% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter and 3.6% compared to the first quarter of 2021, led by a
steep drop in thermal coal volumes as the winter in the Northern hemisphere came to an end. Coking coal volumes were unchanged compared to the prior quarter and increased by 10.5% compared to the first quarter of 2021.
Thermal coal volumes decreased by 15.4% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2021, both China and India
sought to replenish depleted inventories and mitigate the impact of widespread power shortages. In India, domestic power production failed to meet internal targets and most power stations entered the monsoon season with shortages. Notably, Indian
thermal coal inventories, which were severely depleted at the start of the fourth quarter of 2021, remain 43% below inventory levels at the same time last year. While coal is not favored by developed economies for power generation, it has been a
critical part of the energy mix for emerging economies and is the source of greater than 70% of total Chinese electricity output and greater than 75% during the winter months. According to Maritime Analytics, thermal coal demand is forecast to
increase at a growth rate of 2.0% and 2.6% in 2022 and 2023.
GOLDEN OCEAN GROUP LIMITED, FIRST QUARTER 2022
Transportation of essential agribulks, which represented 12.6% of total seaborne volumes in the first quarter of 2022, decreased by 4.9% compared to the fourth quarter
of 2021 and increased by 1.0% compared to the first quarter of 2021. The war in Ukraine has impacted various agribulks as Ukraine accounts for 10% of total wheat exports and 14% of total corn exports. This is expected to have a positive impact on
ton-mile demand in the short term as exports increase from the Americas. Other minor bulks decreased by 5.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and increased by 3.8% compared to the first quarter of 2021.
The global fleet of dry bulk vessels amounted to 952.2 million dwt at the end of the first quarter of 2022, absorbing a net increase of 7.3 million dwt in the quarter,
compared to 6.6 million dwt in the fourth quarter of 2020 and 9.5 million dwt in the first quarter of 2021. Newbuilding ordering levels were very low in the first quarter of 2022, with only 2.1 million dwt of vessels ordered, the lowest quarterly
amount since 2016. The orderbook as a percentage of the global fleet stood at 6.8% at quarter-end, a decrease from 7.3% recorded in March 31, 2021 and from an average of 27.5% over the last 20 years. The orderbook is presently at the lowest level in
30 years.
Strategy and Outlook
The Company maintains a constructive market outlook based on both expectations of steady global growth, and equally importantly, supply-side dynamics that have not been
observed for decades.
The International Monetary Fund ("IMF") forecasts global GDP to grow by 3.6% in each of 2022 and 2023. As with prior revisions, the IMF cited rising energy prices and
supply chain disruptions that have resulted in higher and more broad-based inflation than anticipated as key risks to global GDP growth. Growth forecasts for the emerging and developing Asian economies have also been marginally reduced to 5.4% and
5.9% for 2022 and 2023, respectively. The revised forecasts remain high by historical standards and should support steady dry bulk commodity demand. Notably, India's GDP is forecast to grow by 8.2% and 6.9% in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Even with
lowered growth forecasts, global ton-mile demand is forecast to increase by 2.1% and 2.7% in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Based on these forecasts, it is expected that a sustained period of firm freight rates will follow, particularly if fleet inefficiency does not reduce dramatically.
Setting aside the potential for continued fleet inefficiency due to supply chain and logistical issues and protocols related to COVID-19, the introduction of the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index, or EEXI, by the International Maritime
Organization is expected to have a significant effect on fleet efficiency. Commencing in 2023, all vessels in the global fleet will be required to meet new energy efficiency standards. It is anticipated that most vessels built prior to 2014 will have
limited options to meet the EEXI standards aside from reducing their sailing speeds, with the further potential early retirement of vessels that are not able to meet the new standards.
The status of the orderbook, which is at a 30-year low as a percentage of the operating fleet is also highly supportive of expectations for positive supply dynamics.
After growing by 3.8% in 2020 and by approximately 4.2% per year on average over the last decade, the global dry bulk fleet is forecast to grow by 3.6% in 2022 and just 2.2% in 2023, well below organic replacement levels. Depending on the impact of
the EEXI standards, fleet growth may slow even further as greater than 17% of the vessels in the global fleet are 15 years of age or older and may no longer be commercially viable.
GOLDEN OCEAN GROUP LIMITED, FIRST QUARTER 2022
Thus far in 2022, just 0.7 million dwt of new Capesize and Panamax vessels have been ordered, representing less than one-tenth of one percent of the global fleet as of
the start of the year. An increase in steel prices and limited yard capacity, have combined to drive newbuilding prices sharply higher. Newbuilding prices for Capesize and Panamax vessels are at levels not seen since 2009. The Company does not
anticipate a dramatic surge in newbuilding orders given the recent sharp rise in newbuilding prices, scarcity of competitive financing, and, importantly, increased ordering of highly complex next-generation vessels in other shipping segments that
have placed capacity limits on shipyards globally.
Throughout 2021, the Company actively grew and renewed its fleet, disposing of several older vessels and acquiring or placing orders for 25 modern vessels. The Company
is the largest listed owner of large size dry bulk vessels, with an average age of approximately 6.4 years, including newbuildings. In addition to increasing the Company’s cash generation potential by virtue of a larger fleet, the Company's actions
were intended to ensure that its fleet will remain highly competitive for years to come. Furthermore, the Company has embraced decarbonization as a core strategic pillar and is carefully considering all potential efforts to further reduce its
emissions. The Company believes technological advancements play a key role in energy efficiency and emission control, both in terms of engine technology and data handling, and the Company optimizes vessel routing and speed in order to increase voyage
efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, among other actions.
In the short term, the Company is closely monitoring macro-economic factors as well as impacts of the war in Ukraine on dry bulk trades. The Company believes it is
well-positioned in the near term, with highly profitable charter coverage for most of its available days in the second quarter of 2022 and approximately 21% of its available days in the third quarter of 2022. The Company’s active, dynamic chartering
strategy should help to insulate it from near-term market disruptions.
With a best-in-class fleet focused exclusively on large vessel classes, Golden Ocean is well-positioned to generate significant cash flow and create value for our
shareholders. The Board of Directors remains committed to returning value to its shareholders through dividends. While the amount and timing of any future dividend payments will be based on Company’s results, investment opportunities and the
prevailing market conditions, it is the Company’s intent to distribute a significant portion of its earnings in line with the Company’s current strong market expectations.

arrangement with TFG Marine. As of March 31, 2022, there is no exposure under this guarantee. In addition, should TFG Marine be required to provide a parent company guarantee to its bunker suppliers or finance providers then for any guarantee that is
provided by the Trafigura group and becomes payable, the Company shall pay an amount equal to its equity proportion of that amount payable. The maximum liability under this guarantee is $4.0 million. There are no amounts payable under this guarantee
as of March 31, 2022.

In May 2022, the Company signed a loan agreement for a $275 million credit facility with a group of leading shipping banks to refinance debt secured by 14 Capesize
vessels. The new financing has an interest rate of SOFR plus 190 basis points, which basis the historical spread between LIBOR and SOFR reference rates corresponds to a LIBOR based credit margin of around 165 bps. The financing is repayable according
to a 20-year age adjusted repayment profile and will reduce the daily cash break even rate by approximately $1,500 in respect of the vessels secured under the new facility and by $400 for the full Capesize fleet.
On May 19, 2022, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.50 per share in respect of the first quarter of 2022, which is payable on or about June 8, 2022 to
shareholders of record on June 1, 2022. Investors holding shares through Euronext VPS may receive the dividend payment in respect of such shares later, on or about June 10, 2022.
GOLDEN OCEAN GROUP LIMITED, FIRST QUARTER 2022
(A) Reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before Interest Taxes Depreciation and
Amortization)
EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to
exclude the items set forth in the table below, which represent certain non-cash other items that the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by analysts in the
shipping industry as common performance measures to compare results across peers. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not items recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered in
isolation or used as alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activity or any other indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity required by GAAP.
The Company’s presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is intended to supplement investors’ understanding of the Company’s operating performance by providing
information regarding the Company’s ongoing performance that exclude items the Company believes do not directly affect the Company’s core operations and enhancing the comparability of the Company’s ongoing performance across periods. The Company’s
management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be useful to investors because such performance measures provide information regarding the profitability of the Company’s core operations and facilitate comparison of the Company’s operating
performance to the operating performance of its peers. Additionally, the Company’s management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures when reviewing the Company’s operating performance. While the Company believes these measures are useful to
investors, the definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA used by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA in addition to EBITDA because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of additional non-cash and other items not associated with the
ongoing performance of the Company’s core operations. To derive adjusted EBITDA, the Company has excluded certain gains/losses such as those related to sale of vessels, sale of investments in associates, bargain purchase gain arising on
consolidation, impairments on vessels, right of use assets and marketable securities, mark to market of derivatives and other financial items that it believes further reduce the comparability of the ongoing performance of the Company’s core
operations across periods.

(B) Reconciliation of Total Operating Revenues to Time Charter Equivalent Income and Time Charter Equivalent Rate
(i) Time Charter Equivalent Revenue:
Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Company uses TCE income as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue
generated from a time charter. The Company defines TCE income as operating revenues less voyage expenses and commission plus amortization of favorable charter party contracts (being the fair value above market of acquired time charter agreements upon
the completion of the merger with Knightsbridge Shipping Limited). Under time charter agreements, voyage costs, such as bunker fuel, canal and port charges and commissions are borne and paid by the charterer whereas under voyage charter agreements,
voyage costs are borne and paid by the owner. TCE income is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot
charters and time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Time charter equivalent income, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with operating revenues, the most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP measure, because it assists management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of the Company's vessels and in evaluating their financial performance, regardless of whether a vessel has been employed on a time
charter or a voyage charter.

(ii) Time Charter Equivalent Rate:
Time charter equivalent rate ("TCE rate") represents the weighted average daily TCE income of the Company's entire operating fleet.
TCE rate is a measure of the average daily income performance. The Company's method of calculating TCE rate for each vessel type is determined by dividing TCE income by
onhire days during a reporting period. Onhire days are calculated on a vessel by vessel basis and represent the net of available days and offhire days for each vessel (owned or chartered in) in the Company's possession during a reporting period.
Available days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel (owned or chartered in) is in the Company's possession during such period. By definition, available days for an owned vessel equal the calendar days during a
reporting period, unless the vessel is delivered by the yard during the relevant period whereas available days for a chartered-in vessel equal the tenure in days of the underlying time charter agreement, pro-rated to the relevant reporting period if
such tenure overlaps more than one reporting period. Offhire days for a vessel during a reporting period is the number of days the vessel is in the Company's possession during such period but is not operational as a result of unscheduled repairs,
scheduled dry docking or special or intermediate surveys and lay-ups, if any.
