CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under these sections. These statements may include words such as “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and observations with respect to future events and financial performance.

Where we express an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected, or implied by those forward-looking statements. The principal factors that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows include, charter market rates, which could decline from historic highs, periods of charter hire, vessel operating expenses and voyage costs, which are incurred primarily in U.S. dollars, depreciation expenses, which are a function of the cost of our vessels, significant vessel improvement costs and our vessels' estimated useful lives, and financing costs related to our indebtedness. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors which could include the following: (i) changes in demand in the drybulk market, including, without limitation, changes in production of, or demand for, commodities and bulk cargoes, generally or in particular regions; (ii) greater than anticipated levels of drybulk vessel newbuilding orders or lower than anticipated rates of drybulk vessel scrapping; (iii) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the drybulk industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international bodies or organizations such as the International Maritime Organization and the European Union (the “EU”) or by individual countries; (iv) actions taken by regulatory authorities, including, without limitation, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”); (v) changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall drybulk tonnage requirements; (vi) changes in the typical seasonal variations in drybulk charter rates; (vii) changes in the cost of other modes of bulk commodity transportation; (viii) changes in general domestic and international political conditions, including the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which may impact our ability to retain and source crew, and in turn, could adversely affect our revenue, expenses, and profitability; (ix) changes in the condition of the Company's vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking costs); (x) significant deterioration in charter hire rates from current levels or the inability of the Company to achieve its cost-cutting measures; (xi) the duration and impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including the availability and effectiveness of vaccines on a widespread basis and the impact of any mutations of the virus; (xii) the relative cost and availability of low and high sulfur fuel oil; (xiii) our ability to realize the economic benefits or recover the cost of the scrubbers we have installed; (xiv) any legal proceedings which we may be involved from time to time; and other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This discussion also includes statistical data regarding world drybulk fleet and order book and fleet age. We generated some of this data internally, and some were obtained from independent industry publications and reports that we believe to be reliable sources. We have not independently verified this data nor sought the consent of any organizations to refer to their reports in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or similar terms). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership, charter and operation of drybulk vessels. The Company’s fleet is comprised of Supramax and Ultramax drybulk carriers, and the Company operates its business in one business segment.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company owned and operated a modern fleet of 52 oceangoing vessels, including 26 Supramax and 26 Ultramax vessels with a combined carrying capacity of 3.14 million deadweight tons (“dwt”) and an average age of approximately 9.9 years. Additionally, the Company charters-in five Ultramax vessels on a long term basis with remaining lease terms of approximately one year each and also charters-in vessels on a short term basis for a period of less than one year.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s charterers did not individually account for more than 10% of the Company’s gross charter revenue during those periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

In March 2021, the Company entered into an at market issuance sales agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC and Fearnley Securities, Inc., as sales agents (each, a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”), to sell shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million, from time to time through an “at-the-market” offering program (the “ATM Offering”). During the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold and issued an aggregate of 581,385 shares at a weighted average sales price of $47.97 per share under the ATM Offering for aggregate net proceeds of $27.1 million after deducting sales agent commissions and other offering costs. The proceeds were used for partial financing of vessel acquisitions and other corporate purposes.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are residual value of vessels, the useful lives of vessels, the value of stock-based compensation, estimated losses on our trade receivables, fair value of Convertible Bond Debt (as defined below) and its equity component, fair value of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and the fair value of derivatives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K. Included herein are certain updates to those policies.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adopting the ASU's guidance, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, the entity will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 under the modified retrospective approach. The Convertible Bond Debt (defined below) will no longer require bifurcation and separate accounting of the equity component. The resulting debt discount will no longer be amortized to interest expense over the life of the bond and thus an adjustment to beginning retained earnings of $8.7 million was recorded within Accumulated deficit reflecting the cumulative impact of adoption. Additionally, a $20.7 million reduction to Additional paid-in capital was recorded to reverse the equity component and an offsetting $12.0 million was recorded within Convertible Bond Debt, net of debt discount and debt issuance costs as a reversal of the debt discount.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

The FASB has issued accounting standards that had not yet become effective as of September 30, 2022 and may impact the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures in future periods. Those standards and their potential impact are discussed below:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 addresses concerns about certain accounting consequences that could result from the anticipated transition away from the use of LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies “to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.” ASU 2020-04 establishes (1) a general contract modification principle that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and (2) certain elective hedge accounting expedients. ASU 2020-04 is optional and effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, (“ASU 2021-01”), which clarifies certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, to apply to derivative instruments that use interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of rate reference reform. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on its debt under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility (as defined below) as it bears interest on outstanding borrowings at LIBOR plus a margin rate. Additionally, the Company is also evaluating the adoption of ASU 2021-01 on its interest rate swaps related to the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

Note 3. Vessels

Vessels and Vessel Improvements

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s owned operating fleet consisted of 52 drybulk vessels.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a contract for the installation of ballast water treatment systems (“BWTS”) on 39 of our owned vessels. The projected cost, including installation, is approximately $0.5 million per BWTS. The Company intends to complete the installations during scheduled drydockings. The Company completed installation of BWTS on 32 vessels and recorded $19.8 million in Vessels and vessel improvements in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.9 million as advances paid toward installation of BWTS on the remaining vessels recorded in Advances for ballast water systems and other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022.

On June 8, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the vessel Cardinal for a total consideration of $15.8 million. The vessel was delivered to the buyer during the third quarter of 2022. The Company recorded a gain of $9.3 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

F-8

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement to acquire a high-specification 2015-built scrubber-fitted Ultramax bulkcarrier for a total consideration of $27.5 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered to the Company in November 2022.

Convertible Bond Debt

On July 29, 2019, the Company issued $114.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Bond Debt”). After deducting debt discount of $1.6 million, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $112.5 million. Additionally, the Company incurred $1.0 million of debt issuance costs relating to this transaction. The Company used the proceeds to partially finance the purchase of six Ultramax vessels and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Bond Debt for $14.2 million in cash and cancelled the repurchased debt. Accordingly, a $4.2 million loss on debt extinguishment was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. As a result of these repurchases, the Company’s weighted average diluted shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by 296,990 shares.

The Convertible Bond Debt bears interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum on the outstanding principal amount thereof, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, which commenced on February 1, 2020. The Convertible Bond Debt may bear additional interest upon certain events, as set forth in the indenture governing the Convertible Bond Debt (the “Indenture”).

The Convertible Bond Debt will mature on August 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted pursuant to its terms. From time to time, the Company may, subject to market conditions and other factors and to the extent permitted by law, opportunistically repurchase the Convertible Bond Debt in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company may not otherwise redeem the Convertible Bond Debt prior to the Maturity Date.

F-9

Each holder has the right to convert any portion of the Convertible Bond Debt, provided such portion is of $1,000 or a multiple thereof, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. As of September 30, 2022, the conversion rate of the Convertible Bond Debt after adjusting for a 1-for-7 reverse stock split effected on September 15, 2020 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and the Company's cash dividends declared through September 30, 2022 is 29.699 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Bond Debt, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $33.67 per share of common stock (subject to further adjustments for future dividends).

Upon conversion of the remaining bonds, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, either cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election, to the holder (subject to shareholder approval requirements in accordance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market).

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, as set forth in the Indenture, each holder may require the Company to repurchase all or part of their Convertible Bond Debt for cash in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple thereof. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Bond Debt to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If, however, the holders instead elect to convert their Convertible Bond Debt in connection with the fundamental change, the Company will be required to increase the conversion rate of the Convertible Bond Debt at a rate determined by a combination of the date the fundamental change occurs and the stock price of the Company's common stock on such date.

The Convertible Bond Debt is the general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company. It ranks: (i) senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Bond Debt; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities of current or future subsidiaries of the Company.

The Indenture also provides for customary events of default. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Bond Debt then outstanding may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Convertible Bond Debt then outstanding to be due and payable.

In accordance with ASC 470, Debt, (“ASC 470”) the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 were to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflected the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The guidance required the initial proceeds received from the sale of convertible debt instruments to be allocated between a liability component and equity component in a manner that reflected the interest expense at the interest rate of similar non-convertible debt that could have been issued by the Company at the time of issuance. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company accounted for the Convertible Bond Debt based on the above guidance and attributed a portion of the proceeds to the equity component. The resulting debt discount was amortized using the effective interest method over the expected life of the Convertible Bond Debt as interest expense. Additionally, the debt discount and issuance costs were allocated based on the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components using the same proportions as the proceeds from the Convertible Bond Debt. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 and made adjustments to account for the cumulative impact of the adoption. See Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, for discussion of the impact of ASU 2020-06 on the accounting for the Convertible Bond Debt and the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption on January 1, 2022.

Share Lending Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Bond Debt, certain persons entered into an arrangement (the “Share Lending Agreement”) to borrow up to 511,840 shares of the Company’s common stock through share lending arrangements from Jefferies LLC (“JCS”), an initial purchaser of the Convertible Bond Debt, which in turn entered into an arrangement to borrow the shares from an entity affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, LP, one of the Company’s shareholders. The number of shares under the Share Lending Agreement have been adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of the 511,840 outstanding loaned shares was $22.1 million based on the closing price of the common stock on September 30, 2022. In connection with the Share Lending Agreement, JCS paid $0.03 million representing a nominal fee per borrowed share, equal to the par value of the Company’s common stock.

While the Share Lending Agreement does not require cash payment upon return of the shares, physical settlement is required (i.e., the loaned shares must be returned at the end of the arrangement). In view of this share return provision and other contractual undertakings of JCS in the Share Lending Agreement, which have the effect of substantially eliminating the economic dilution

F-10

that otherwise would result from the issuance of borrowed shares, the loaned shares are not considered issued and outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting the Company's basic and diluted weighted average shares or net income per share. If JCS were to file bankruptcy or commence similar administrative, liquidating or restructuring proceedings, the Company will have to consider 511,840 shares lent to JCS as issued and outstanding for the purposes of calculating net income per share.

Global Ultraco Debt Facility

On October 1, 2021, Eagle Bulk Ultraco LLC (“Eagle Ultraco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, along with certain of its vessel-owning subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the “Global Ultraco Debt Facility”) with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (“Credit Agricole”), Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (PUBL), Danish Ship Finance A/S, Nordea Bank ABP, Filial I Norge, DNB Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, and ING Bank N.V., London Branch. The Global Ultraco Debt Facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, which consists of (i) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”) to be used for refinancing the outstanding debt, including accrued interest and commitment fees under the Holdco Revolving Credit Facility, New Ultraco Debt Facility and Norwegian Bond Debt (each as defined in Note 6, Debt, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K) and for general corporate purposes. The Company paid fees of $5.8 million to the Lenders in connection with the transaction.

The Global Ultraco Debt Facility has a maturity date of five years from the date of borrowing on the Term Facility, which is October 1, 2026. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.10% to 2.80% per annum, depending on certain metrics such as the Company's financial leverage ratio and meeting sustainability linked criteria. Repayments of $12.45 million are due quarterly and began on December 15, 2021, with a final balloon payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest due upon maturity. The loan is repayable in whole or in part without premium or penalty prior to the maturity date subject to certain requirements stipulated in the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

The Global Ultraco Debt Facility is secured by 49 of the Company's vessels. The Global Ultraco Debt Facility contains certain standard affirmative and negative covenants along with financial covenants. The financial covenants include: (i) minimum consolidated liquidity based on the greater of (a) $0.6 million per vessel owned directly or indirectly by the Company or (b) 7.5% of the Company's total debt; (ii) debt to capitalization ratio not greater than 0.60:1.00; and (iii) maintaining positive working capital. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

Pursuant to the Global Ultraco Debt Facility, the Company borrowed $350.0 million and together with cash on hand repaid the outstanding debt, accrued interest and commitment fees under the Holdco Revolving Credit Facility and New Ultraco Debt Facility. Concurrently, the Company issued a 10-day call notice to redeem the outstanding bonds under the Norwegian Bond Debt. Additionally, in October 2021, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps for the notional amount of $300.0 million of the Term Facility under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility at a fixed interest rate ranging between 0.83% and 1.06% to hedge the LIBOR-based floating interest rate (see Note 5, Derivative Instruments, for additional details).

Note 5. Derivative Instruments

Interest rate swaps

During October 2021, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps for the notional amount of $300.0 million of the Term Facility under the Credit Agreement for the Global Ultraco Debt Facility at a fixed interest rate ranging between 0.83% and 1.06% to hedge the LIBOR-based floating interest rate.

During 2020, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of its debt under the New Ultraco Debt Facility, excluding any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility as well as any new term loan borrowings from a floating to a fixed-rate basis. In August 2021, the Company cancelled the New Ultraco Debt Facility interest rate swaps. Concurrent with the cancellation, the Company entered into another interest rate swap which was subsequently cancelled on October 1, 2021 upon repayment of the New Ultraco Debt Facility.

The interest rate swaps were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. The Company uses interest rate swaps for the management of interest rate risk exposure, as an interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of the Company’s debt from a floating to a fixed rate. The interest rate swap is an agreement between the Company and counterparties to pay, in the future, a fixed-rate payment in exchange for the counterparties paying the Company a variable payment. The amount of the net payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the interest rate swap and the prevailing market interest rates. The Company may terminate the interest rate swaps prior to their expiration dates, at which point a realized gain or loss may be recognized, or may be amortized over the original life of the interest rate swap if the hedged debt remains outstanding. The value of the Company’s commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the extent to which interest rates move against the rate fixed for each swap.

The Company records the fair value of each interest rate swap as an asset or liability on its balance sheet. The effective portion of the swap is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated income that is currently recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2022 that is expected to be reclassified into the earnings within the next twelve months is $7.7 million. No portion of the cash flow hedges were ineffective during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The effect of the interest rate swaps on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is below:

Forward freight agreements and bunker swaps

The Company trades in forward freight agreements (“FFAs”) and bunker swaps, with the objective of utilizing this market as economic hedging instruments that reduce the risk of specific vessels to changes in the freight market. The Company’s FFAs and bunker swaps have not qualified for hedge accounting treatment. As such, unrealized and realized gains are recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company records the fair value of FFAs and bunker swaps as an asset or liability on its balance sheet. Derivatives are considered to be Level 2 instruments in the fair value hierarchy. For our bunker swaps, the Company may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. Cash collateral related to derivative instruments under its collateral security arrangements is recorded in Collateral on derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements with five applicable banks and financial institutions, which contain netting provisions. In addition to a master agreement with the Company supported by a primary parent guarantee on either side, the Company also has associated credit support agreements in place with two counterparties which, among other things, provide the circumstances under which either party is required to post eligible collateral, when the market value of transactions covered by these agreements exceeds specified thresholds. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of the counterparties.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding bunker swap agreements to purchase 15,800 metric tons of high and low sulfur fuel oil with prices ranging between $486 and $719 that expire on March 31, 2023. The volume represents less than 10% of our estimated consumption on our fleet for the year.

Cash Collateral Disclosures

The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivatives by the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral. The amount of collateral to be posted is defined in the terms of respective master agreements executed

F-15

with counterparties or exchanges and is required when agreed upon threshold limits are exceeded. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company posted cash collateral related to derivative instruments under its collateral security arrangements of $1.2 million and $15.1 million, respectively, which is recorded in Collateral on derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash—the carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for interest-bearing deposits approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature thereof.

Debt—the carrying values approximate fair value for bonds issued under the Convertible Bond Debt, which is traded in the over-the-counter market. The carrying amount of our term loan borrowing under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility approximates its fair value, due to its variable interest rates.

The Company defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 non-derivatives include cash, money-market accounts, restricted cash accounts and collateral on derivatives.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. Our Level 2 non-derivatives include our debt balances under the Convertible Bond Debt and the Global Ultraco Debt Facility. Freight forward agreements, bunker swaps and interest rate swaps are considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company, using the income approach to value the derivatives, uses observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. See Note 5, Derivative Instruments.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and may become involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company evaluates these legal matters on a case-by-case basis to make a determination as to the impact, if any, on its business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In March 2021, the U.S. government began investigating an allegation that one of the Company's vessels may have improperly disposed of ballast water that entered the engine room bilges during a repair. The investigation of this alleged violation of environmental laws is ongoing, and, although at this time we do not believe that this matter will have a material impact on the Company, our financial condition or results of operations, we cannot determine what penalties, if any, will be imposed. We have posted a surety bond as security for any fines, penalties or associated costs that may be issued, and the Company is cooperating fully with the U.S. government in its investigation of this matter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred and recorded $0.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as Other operating expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to this incident, which include legal fees, surety bond expenses, vessel off-hire, crew changes and travel costs.

Note 9. Revenue

Voyage charters

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or “dead” freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a “demurrage” or “despatch” clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, with the amounts recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

Voyage charter contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606 because the Company, as the shipowner, retains control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. These contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch. The amount of revenue earned as demurrage, net of despatch incurred by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $7.8 million and $26.5 million respectively. The amount of revenue earned as demurrage, net of despatch incurred by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $8.6 million and $16.8 million, respectively.

The following table shows the revenues earned from time charters and voyage charters for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

	$	185,313	$	183,393	$	568,406	$	409,816

Contract costs

In a voyage charter contract, the Company bears all voyage related costs such as fuel costs, port charges and canal tolls. These costs are considered contract fulfillment costs because the costs are direct costs related to the performance of the contract and are expected to be recovered. The costs incurred during the period prior to commencement of loading the cargo, primarily bunkers, are deferred as they represent setup costs and are recorded in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as the related performance obligations are satisfied. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of deferred costs which represents bunker expenses and charter-hire expenses incurred prior to commencement of loading.

Note 10. Net Income per Common Share

The computation of basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Diluted net income per share gives effect to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the impact is anti-dilutive. Additionally, the Convertible Bond Debt is not considered a participating security and therefore not included in the computation of Basic net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company determined that it does not overcome the presumption of share settlement of outstanding debt and therefore the Company applied the if-converted method and included the potential shares to be issued upon conversion of Convertible Bond Debt in the calculation of Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 as their effect was dilutive. Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 excluded 17,661 and 8,830 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) related to EPS performance and TSR performance (defined below), respectively, as their effect was anti-dilutive. Additionally, diluted net income per share excluded 7,648 restricted shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as their effect was anti-dilutive. Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 excluded 21,718 warrants and 28,046 restricted shares as their effect was anti-dilutive.

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(In thousands, except share and per share data)	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021

Note 11. Stock Incentive Plans

On December 15, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and the Company registered 764,087 shares of common stock adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, which may be issued under the 2016 Plan. On June 7, 2019, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2016 Plan, which increased the number of shares reserved under the 2016 Plan by an additional 357,142 shares to a maximum of 1,121,229 shares of common stock. On June 14, 2022, the Company's shareholders approved a second amendment and restatement of the 2016 Plan, which increased the number of shares reserved under the 2016 Plan by an additional 300,000 shares to a maximum of 1,421,229 shares of common stock. Any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including any prospective officer or employee) is eligible to be designated to participate in the 2016 Plan. The Company withheld shares related to restricted stock awards that vested in 2022 at the fair market value equivalent to the maximum statutory tax withholding obligation and remitted that amount in cash to the appropriate taxation authorities.

On February 11, 2022, the Company granted 31,781 restricted shares as a Company-wide grant under the 2016 Plan. The aggregate fair value of the grant was $1.7 million based on the closing share price of $52.32 on February 11, 2022. The shares will vest in equal installments on January 2, 2023, January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025. Additionally, on March 11, 2022, the Company granted 7,451 shares of fully vested common stock to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The aggregate fair value of the director grant was $0.5 million based on the closing share price of $65.88 on March 11, 2022. On April 5, 2022, the Company granted 7,468 restricted shares with 2-year cliff vesting to a member of its senior management team. The aggregate fair value of the grant was $0.5 million based on the closing share price of $63.24 on April 5, 2022. The amortization of the above grants was $0.3 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which is included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On March 11, 2022, the Company granted 17,661 shares of time-based RSUs to certain members of its senior management team under the 2016 Plan. The units vest in three equal installments on January 2, 2023, January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025. The aggregate fair value of these units was $1.2 million based on the closing share price of $65.88 on March 11, 2022. The amortization of the above grant was $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which is included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As discussed further below, on March 11, 2022, the Company granted performance-based RSUs to certain members of its senior management team under the 2016 Plan, which are contingent on certain performance criteria. The maximum number of performance-based RSUs that can be earned is 52,982.

17,661 target performance-based RSUs were granted based on earnings per share (“EPS performance”) for the performance period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022 (with targets set forth during the three months ended March 31, 2022). The RSUs will vest in three substantially equal installments (subject to achievement of performance criteria as of December 31, 2022) with the first installment vesting upon certification by the Compensation Committee and the second and third installments on January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025, respectively. The total RSUs eligible to vest ranges from zero to 200% of the target number granted based on the EPS performance. The aggregate grant-date fair value of these RSUs was $1.2 million based on the closing share price of $65.88 on March 11, 2022 and assuming the target number is probable of vesting. The EPS performance is considered to be a performance condition under ASC 718, Share based payment awards, and therefore, the stock-based compensation expense is initially recorded based on the probable outcome that the performance condition will be achieved as of the grant date with subsequent adjustments to the probable outcome over time. The ultimate expense recognized is based on the actual performance outcome at the end of the performance period. As of September 30, 2022, the Company estimated that the target (100%) will be met and recorded $0.2 million and $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

8,830 performance-based RSUs were granted based on relative total shareholder return (“TSR performance”) for the performance period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022 (with targets set forth during the three months ended March 31, 2022). These market-based RSUs will vest in three substantially equal installments (subject to achievement of performance criteria as of December 31, 2022) with the first installment vesting upon certification by the Compensation Committee and the second and third installments on January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025, respectively. The total RSUs eligible to vest ranges from zero to 200% of the target number granted based on the TSR performance. All the vested TSR performance units are subject to a 1-year holding period after vesting. The TSR performance is based on the Company's total shareholder return compared to seven peer companies over the performance period. The TSR performance is calculated based on average daily closing stock price over a 20-trading-day period at each of the beginning and end of the performance period and is adjusted to reflect dividend payments by assuming additional shares are purchased with the dividend payments. The aggregate fair value of the TSR performance

awards, which was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $0.7 million. The assumptions used in the model were risk-free rate of return of 1.05% based on continuously compounded yield on zero-coupon treasury rates as of March 11, 2022; expected volatility of 54.74% based on 1-year historical daily volatility of the closing share prices for the Company; a dividend yield of 12.45%; and 11.41% discount applied for the 1-year holding period using the Finnerty model. Volatility for each of the peer companies as well as the correlation of returns between each of the companies was also determined as inputs into the Monte Carlo model. The Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, stock awards, including RSUs, covering a total of 210,049 and 246,962 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, were outstanding under the 2016 Plan. The vesting terms are generally three years from the grant date, or as described above in the March 11, 2022 RSU and director stock grants or the April 5, 2022 stock grant. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, 24,369 restricted stock awards vested of which 10,034 were cancelled as a settlement for the liability relating to tax withholding. The Company is amortizing the grant date fair value of non-vested stock awards to stock-based compensation expense included in General and administrative expenses.

As of December 31, 2021, 47,568 vested stock options were outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $32.97 to $38.92 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, all 47,568 stock options were exercised. In connection with the exercise, 8,077 shares of common stock were issued and 39,491 stock options were cancelled as a settlement for the liability relating to tax withholding as well as the exercise price owed to the Company.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no unvested options outstanding.

Stock-based compensation expense for all stock awards, units and options included in General and administrative expenses:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(In thousands)	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
Stock awards/Stock Option Plans	$	1,449	$	777	$	4,542	$	2,235

The future compensation cost to be recognized for all the grants for the three months ending December 31, 2022, and the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2024 is expected to be $1.3 million, $2.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and the notes to those financial statements and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which were included in our Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”). For further discussion regarding our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 please refer to Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. Please see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Business Overview

Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) is a U.S. based fully integrated shipowner-operator providing global transportation solutions to a diverse group of customers including miners, producers, traders, and end users. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, with offices in Singapore and Copenhagen, Eagle focuses exclusively on the versatile mid-size drybulk vessel segment and owns one of the largest fleets of Supramax/Ultramax vessels in the world. The Company performs all management services in-house such as strategic, commercial, operational, technical, and administrative services, and employs an active management approach to fleet trading with the objective of optimizing revenue performance and maximizing earnings on a risk-managed basis. Typical cargoes we transport include both major bulk cargoes, such as iron ore, coal and grain, and minor bulk cargoes such as fertilizer, steel products, petcoke, cement, and forest products. As of September 30, 2022, we owned and operated a modern fleet of 52 Supramax/Ultramax dry bulk vessels. We chartered-in five Ultramax vessels which have a remaining lease term of approximately one year each. In addition, the Company charters in third-party vessels on a short to medium term basis.

Our owned fleet totals 52 vessels, with an aggregate carrying capacity of 3.14 million dwt and an average age of 9.9 years as of September 30, 2022.

We carry out the commercial and strategic management of our fleet through our indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Bulk Management LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company, which maintains its principal executive offices in Stamford, Connecticut. We own each of our vessels through separate wholly-owned Marshall Islands limited liability companies.

Corporate Information

We maintain our principal executive offices at 300 First Stamford Place, 5th Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06902. Our telephone number at that address is (203) 276-8100. Our website address is www.eagleships.com. Information contained on or accessible through our website does not constitute part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Strategy

We believe our balance sheet allows us the flexibility to opportunistically make investments in the drybulk segment that will drive shareholder growth. In order to accomplish this, we intend to:

•Maintain a highly efficient and quality fleet in the drybulk segment.

•Maintain a revenue strategy that takes advantage of a rising rate environment and at the same time mitigate risk in a declining rate environment.

•Maintain a cost structure that allows us to be competitive in all economic cycles without sacrificing safety or maintenance.

•Continue to grow our relationships with our charterers and vendors.

•Continue to invest in our on-shore operations and development of processes.

1

Our financial performance is based on the following key elements of our business strategy:

(1)Concentration in one vessel category: Supramax/Ultramax drybulk vessels, which we believe offer certain size, operational and geographical advantages relative to other classes of drybulk vessels, such as Handysize, Panamax and Capesize vessels.

(2)An active owner-operator model where we seek to operate our own fleet and develop contractual relationships directly with cargo interests. These relationships and the related cargo contracts have the dual benefit of providing greater operational efficiencies and act as a balance to the Company’s naturally long position to the market. Notwithstanding the focus on voyage chartering, we consistently monitor the drybulk shipping market and, based on market conditions, will consider taking advantage of long-term time charters at higher rates when appropriate.

(3)Maintain high quality vessels and improve standards of operation through improved standards and procedures, crew training and repair and maintenance procedures.

We continuously evaluate potential transactions that we believe will be accretive to earnings, enhance shareholder value or are in the best interests of the Company, including without limitation, business combinations, the acquisition of vessels or related businesses, repayment or refinancing of existing debt, the issuance of new securities, share and debt repurchases or other transactions.

Business Outlook

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, widespread, rapidly evolving, and unpredictable impacts on global society, economies, financial markets, and business practices. Governments have implemented measures in an effort to contain the virus, such as social distancing, mask and vaccine mandates, travel restrictions, COVID testing guidelines and quarantine regulations.

Some of our vessels experienced delays in drydocking as well as an increase in related drydocking costs as a result of protocols regarding COVID-19, as well as limitations in labor. We also experienced loss of revenues due to a number of off-hire days relating to crew changes and quarantine restrictions as a number of our crew members tested positive for COVID-19. Our vessel operating expenses, specifically crew change costs, COVID testing and quarantine related costs, continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19.

Global economic activity levels as well as the demand for dry bulk cargoes may be negatively impacted by COVID-19. We have instituted measures to reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19 for our crew members on our vessels as well as our onshore offices in Stamford, Connecticut, Singapore, and Copenhagen. However, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy on a prolonged basis, or if related vaccine availability or efficacy materially decreases, the drybulk market rate environment and our vessel values may deteriorate and our operations and cash flows may be negatively impacted.

The impact of recent developments in Ukraine

In February 2022, as a result of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, economic sanctions were imposed by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and a number of other countries on Russian financial institutions, businesses and individuals, as well as certain regions within the Donbas region of Ukraine. This conflict has become a multi-month war and humanitarian crisis. While it is difficult to estimate the impact of the war and current or future sanctions on the Company’s business and financial position, these events and related sanctions could adversely impact the Company’s operations. In the near term, we have seen, and expect to continue to see, increased volatility in the region due to these geopolitical events. The Black Sea region is a major export market for grains with the Ukraine and Russia exporting a combined 15% of the global seaborne grain trade. In addition, the volatility of market prices for fuel have increased as a result of related supply disruptions from the war in Ukraine. While uncertainty remains with respect to the ultimate impact of the war, we have seen, and anticipate continuing to see, significant changes in trade flows. A reduction or stoppage of grain out of the Black Sea or cargoes from Russia has, and will continue to, negatively impact the markets in those areas. In addition, increased volatility in fuel prices may increase or decrease the Company’s operations and liquidity. At the same time, we have seen an increase in ton miles as end users find alternative sources for cargo. For more information regarding the risks relating to economic sanctions as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as well as the impact on retaining and sourcing our crew, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K.

Fleet Management

The management of our fleet includes the following functions:

•Strategic management. We locate and obtain financing and insurance for the purchase and sale of vessels.

•Commercial management. We obtain employment for our vessels and manage our relationships with charterers.

•Technical management. We have established an in-house technical management function to perform day-to-day operations and maintenance of our vessels.

Commercial and Strategic Management

We carry out the commercial and strategic management of our fleet through our indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Bulk Management LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company, which maintains its principal executive offices in Stamford, Connecticut. We also have offices in Singapore and Copenhagen, Denmark, through which we provide round the clock management services to our owned and chartered-in fleet. We currently have 95 shore-based personnel, including our senior management team and our office staff, who either directly or through these subsidiaries, provide the following services:

•commercial operations and technical supervision;

•safety monitoring;

•vessel acquisition; and

•financial, accounting and information technology services.

Technical Management

Technical management includes managing day-to-day vessel operations, performing general vessel maintenance, ensuring regulatory and classification society compliance, supervising the maintenance and general efficiency of vessels, arranging our hire of qualified officers and crew, arranging and supervising drydocking and repairs, purchasing supplies, spare parts and new equipment for vessels, appointing supervisors and technical consultants, and providing technical support.

Value of Assets and Cash Requirements

The replacement costs of comparable new vessels may be above or below the book value of our fleet. The market value of our fleet may be below book value when market conditions are weak and exceed book value when markets conditions are strong. Customary with industry practice, we may consider asset redeployment, which at times may include the sale of vessels at less than their book value. The Company’s results of operations and cash flow may be significantly affected by future charter markets.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC, which apply to interim financial statements. The preparation of those financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues, expenses and warrants and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments of uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. As the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, they do not include all of the information on critical accounting policies normally included in consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, a detailed description of these critical accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022. There have been no material changes from the “Critical Accounting Policies” previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at

the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are the residual value of vessels, the useful lives of vessels, the value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of operating lease right-of-use assets, and the fair value of derivatives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022:

Fleet Data

We believe that the measures for analyzing future trends in our results of operations consist of the following:

    

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
Ownership Days	4,831		4,697		14,424		13,407
Chartered-in Days	1,000		563		3,102		1,718
Available Days	5,588		4,931		16,701		14,403
Operating Days	5,574		4,908		16,662		14,308
Fleet Utilization (%)	99.7	%	99.5	%	99.8	%	99.3	%

In order to understand our discussion of our results of operations, it is important to understand the meaning of the following terms used in our analysis and the factors that influence our results of operations.

•Ownership days: We define ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during a period.

•Chartered-in days: We define chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which the Company chartered-in vessels.

•Available days: We define available days as the number of our ownership days and chartered-in days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to vessel familiarization upon acquisition, repairs, vessel upgrades or special surveys and other reasons which prevent the vessel from performing under the relevant charter party such as surveys, medical events, stowaway disembarkation, etc. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed drydock for eight vessels.

•Operating days: We define operating days as the number of our available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

•Fleet utilization: We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning. Our fleet continues to perform at very high utilization rates.

TCE (Non-GAAP Measure)

Shipping revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by a company and the trades in which those vessels operate. In the drybulk sector of the shipping industry, rates for the transportation of drybulk cargoes such as ores, grains, steel, fertilizers, and similar commodities, are determined by market forces such as the supply and demand for such commodities, the distance that cargoes must be transported, and the number of vessels expected to be available at the time such cargoes need to be transported. The demand for shipments is significantly affected by the state of the global economy and the conditions of certain geographical areas. The number of vessels is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally because of scrapping. 

4

The mix of charters between spot or voyage charters and mid-term time charters also affects revenues. Because the mix between voyage charters and time charters significantly affects shipping revenues and voyage expenses, vessel revenues are benchmarked based on time charter equivalent (“TCE”), which is a non-GAAP measure.

TCE is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the shipping industry primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charter hire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charter hire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts. The Company defines TCE as revenues, net less voyage expenses and charter hire expenses, adjusted for realized gains(losses) on FFAs and bunker swaps, the subtotal of which is divided by the number of owned available days. Owned available days is the number of our ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to vessel familiarization upon acquisition, repairs, vessel upgrades or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. TCE provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with Revenues, net, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their performance. The Company’s calculation of TCE may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. The Company calculates relative performance by comparing TCE against the Baltic Supramax Index (“BSI”) adjusted for commissions and fleet makeup.

The following table represents the reconciliation of TCE, a non-GAAP measure, from Revenues, net as recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Net income

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $77.2 million, or basic and diluted income of $5.94 per share and $4.77 per share, respectively. In the comparable quarter of 2021, the Company reported net income of $78.3 million, or basic and diluted income of $6.12 per share and $4.92 per share, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $224.7 million, or basic and diluted income of $17.31 per share and $13.86 per share, respectively. In the comparable period of 2021, the Company reported net income of $97.4 million, or basic and diluted income of $7.96 per share and $6.34 per share, respectively.

Revenues

Our revenues are derived from time and voyage charters. Net time and voyage charter revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $185.3 million compared with $183.4 million recorded in the comparable quarter in 2021. Net time and

5

voyage charter revenues increased $21.8 million due to an increase in available days driven by an increase in owned days and chartered-in days, partially offset by a decrease of $19.9 million due to lower charter rates.

Net time and voyage charter revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $568.4 million and $409.8 million, respectively. Net time and voyage charter revenues increased $80.4 million due to higher charter rates and increased $78.2 million due to an increase in available days driven by increases in owned days and chartered-in days.

Voyage expenses

To the extent that we employ our vessels on voyage charters, we will incur expenses that include bunkers, port charges, canal tolls and cargo handling operations, as these expenses are borne by the vessel owner on voyage charters. As is common in the shipping industry, we pay commissions ranging from 1.25% to 5.50% to unaffiliated ship brokers associated with the charterers, depending on the number of brokers involved with arranging the charter. Bunkers, port charges, and canal tolls primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters because these expenses are for the vessel owner's account.

Voyage expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $40.8 million and $30.3 million, respectively. Voyage expenses increased primarily due to an increase in bunker consumption expense of $10.1 million driven by an increase in bunker fuel prices.

Voyage expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $120.7 million and $81.4 million, respectively. Voyage expenses increased primarily due to an increase in bunker consumption expense of $29.1 million driven by an increase in bunker fuel prices, an increase in port expenses of $8.5 million driven by an increase in fuel surcharges and cost inflation and an increase in broker commissions of $1.7 million driven by an increase in related revenues.

Vessel operating expenses

Vessel operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $33.1 million compared to $28.1 million in the comparable quarter in 2021. Vessel operating expenses increased primarily due to an increase in repair costs of $3.1 million driven by discretionary upgrades and certain unscheduled necessary repairs, and an increase in crewing costs of $2.1 million driven by crew changes and expenses related to COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine. The ownership days for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 4,831 and 4,697, respectively.

Vessel operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $88.2 million and $73.3 million, respectively. Vessel operating expenses increased primarily due to an increase in crewing costs of $7.8 million driven by crew changes and expenses related to COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, an increase in the cost of lubes, stores and spares of $3.1 million driven by cost inflation and an increase in repair costs of $2.4 million driven by discretionary upgrades and certain unscheduled necessary repairs. The ownership days for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 14,424 and 13,407, respectively.

Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores and related inventory, tonnage taxes, pre-operating costs associated with the delivery of acquired vessels, including providing the newly acquired vessels with initial provisions and stores, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, may cause the operating expenses of our vessels to increase, including, for instance, developments relating to market prices for crew, insurance and petroleum-based lubricants and supplies.

Charter hire expenses

The charter hire expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $19.8 million compared to $10.7 million in the comparable quarter in 2021. Charter hire expenses increased $8.3 million primarily due to an increase in chartered-in days and increased $0.7 million due to an increase in charter hire rates due to improvement in the charter hire market. The total chartered-in days for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were 1,000 compared to 563 for the comparable quarter in the prior year. Between 2017 and 2021, the Company entered into a series of agreements to charter five Ultramax vessels on a long term basis. The minimum chartered-in periods ranged between one and four years with an option to extend the duration between three and 24 months. All five vessels were chartered-in as of September 30, 2022.

6

The charter hire expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $63.8 million and $25.4 million, respectively. Charter hire expenses increased $20.4 million primarily due to an increase in chartered-in days and increased $18.0 million due to an increase in charter hire rates due to improvement in the charter hire market. The total chartered-in days for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 3,102 and 1,718, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $15.4 million and $13.6 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2022 includes $11.9 million of vessel and other fixed assets depreciation and $3.5 million of deferred drydock costs amortization. Comparable amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $11.4 million of vessel and other fixed assets depreciation and $2.2 million of deferred drydock costs amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million due to the impact of thirteen drydocks completed since the third quarter of 2021 and increased $0.5 million due to an increase in the cost base of our owned fleet due to the capitalization of BWTS on our vessels and the acquisition of three vessels in the second half of 2021, offset in part by the sale of one vessel in the third quarter of 2022.

Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $45.2 million and $39.2 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes $35.5 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and $9.7 million of deferred drydock costs amortization. Comparable amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $33.0 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and $6.2 million of deferred drydock costs amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $3.5 million due to the impact of 13 drydocks completed since the third quarter of 2021 and increased $2.6 million due to an increase in the cost base of our owned fleet due to the acquisition of nine vessels in 2021 and the capitalization of BWTS on our vessels, offset in part by the sale of one vessel in the third quarter of 2021 and the sale of one vessel in the third quarter of 2022.

Depreciation is based on the cost of the vessel less its estimated residual value. We estimate the useful life of our vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard to the original owner. Furthermore, we estimate the residual values of our vessels to be $300 per lightweight ton, which we believe is common in the drybulk shipping industry. Drydocking relates to our regularly scheduled maintenance program necessary to preserve the quality of our vessels as well as to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Management anticipates that vessels are to be drydocked every two and a half years for vessels older than 15 years and every five years for vessels younger than 15 years, accordingly, these expenses are deferred and amortized over these respective periods.

General and administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses include onshore vessel administration related expenses, such as legal and professional expenses, administrative and other expenses including payroll and expenses relating to our executive officers and office staff, office rent and expenses, directors’ fees, and directors and officers insurance. General and administrative expenses also include stock-based compensation expenses. 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $9.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses include stock-based compensation of $1.4 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million due to higher stock-based compensation expense and increased $0.5 million due to an increase in compensation and benefits.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $29.6 million and $23.6 million, respectively. These general and administrative expenses include stock-based compensation of $4.5 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million due to higher stock-based compensation expense, increased $1.7 million due to an increase in compensation and benefits, and increased $1.0 million due to higher professional fees.

Other operating expense

Other operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $2.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Other operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily comprised of costs associated with a corporate transaction that did not materialize. Other operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily comprised of costs incurred relating to a 2021 U.S. government investigation into an allegation that one of our vessels may have improperly disposed of ballast water that entered the engine room bilges during a repair. The Company posted a surety

7

bond as security for any fines and penalties. Other operating expense consists of expenses incurred relating to this incident, which include legal fees, surety bond expenses, vessel offhire, crew changes and travel costs.

Other operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $2.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Other operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily comprised of costs associated with a corporate transaction that did not materialize. Other operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily comprised of costs incurred relating to a 2021 U.S. government investigation into an allegation that one of our vessels may have improperly disposed of ballast water that entered the engine room bilges during a repair. The Company posted a surety bond as security for any fines and penalties. Other operating expense consists of expenses incurred relating to this incident, which include legal fees, surety bond expenses, vessel offhire, crew changes and travel costs.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $4.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively. Interest expense decreased $1.4 million due to lower effective interest rates and decreased $1.4 million due to lower outstanding principal balances, each as a result of the refinancing of the Company’s debt in the fourth quarter of 2021 and decreased $1.4 million due to lower amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs primarily as a result of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2020-06.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $13.0 million and $25.6 million, respectively. Interest expense decreased $4.6 million due to lower outstanding principal balances and decreased $4.4 million due to lower effective interest rates, each as a result of the refinancing of the Company’s debt in the fourth quarter of 2021 and decreased $3.8 million due to lower amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs primarily as a result of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2020-06.

The Company entered into interest rate swaps in October 2021 to fix the interest rate exposure on the Global Ultraco Debt Facility term loan. As a result of these swaps, which average 87 basis points, the Company’s interest rate exposure is fully fixed insulating the Company from the rising interest rate environment.

Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense. These financing costs relate to costs associated with our various outstanding debt facilities. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the amortization of debt issuance costs was $0.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the amortization of debt issuance costs was $1.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes $1.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of amortization of the equity component of the Convertible Bond Debt. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 under the modified retrospective approach and therefore, as of January 1, 2022, the Convertible Bond Debt no longer requires bifurcation and separate accounting of an equity component. Refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Realized and unrealized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments, net

Realized and unrealized gain on derivative instruments, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $11.3 million compared to a realized and unrealized loss on derivative instruments, net of $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The $11.3 million gain is primarily related to $14.3 million in gains earned on our freight forward agreements as a result of the decrease in charter hire rates during the third quarter, offset by $3.0 million in bunker swap losses for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had $9.4 million in losses on our freight forward agreements due to the sharp increase in charter hire rates during the third quarter of 2021, offset by $0.4 million in bunker swap gains.

Realized and unrealized gain on derivative instruments, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $13.3 million compared to a realized and unrealized loss on derivative instruments, net of $45.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $13.3 million gain is primarily attributable to $9.4 million in gains earned on our freight forward agreements as a result of the decrease in charter hire rates during 2022 and $3.9 million in bunker swap gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the comparable period in the prior year, the Company had $47.9 million in losses on our freight forward agreements due to the sharp increase in charter hire rates in 2021, offset by $2.3 million in bunker swap gains. Refer to Note 5, Derivative Instruments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Loss on debt extinguishment

Loss on debt extinguishment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $4.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Bond Debt for $14.2 million in cash and cancelled the repurchased debt. Accordingly, a $4.2 million loss on debt extinguishment was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Effects of Inflation

The Company believes that its business benefits during periods of elevated inflation and positive demand growth, as higher charter rates, and net revenues, more than offset increases in costs relating to vessel operating expenses, drydocking, and general and administrative.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	Nine Months Ended
(In thousands)	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	242,491	$	120,915
Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities	4,090		(106,767)
Net cash (used in)/provided by financing activities	(135,198)		22,648
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	111,383		36,796
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period	86,222		88,849
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period	$	197,605	$	125,645

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $242.5 million and $120.9 million, respectively. The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities resulted primarily from the increase in revenues due to higher charter hire rates.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $4.1 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $106.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received proceeds from the sale of one vessel for net proceeds of $14.9 million. The proceeds were offset by cash paid totaling $5.7 million for the purchase of ballast water treatment systems on our fleet and the Company paid $4.1 million as an advance for the purchase of one vessel to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022. Additionally, the Company paid $0.8 million for vessel improvements and $0.3 million for other fixed assets. Refer to Note 3, Vessels, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $135.2 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $22.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repaid $37.4 million of the Global Ultraco Debt Facility. The Company also paid $81.6 million in dividends, $14.2 million to repurchase a portion of our Convertible Bond Debt, and $2.4 million to settle net share equity awards.

Our principal sources of funds are operating cash flows, long-term bank borrowings and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our principal use of funds is capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, fund working capital requirements and repay interest and principal on our outstanding loan facilities.

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash was $197.6 million, compared to $86.2 million at December 31, 2021. The Company had restricted cash of $2.6 million and $0.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

9

In addition, as of September 30, 2022, we had $100.0 million in an undrawn revolver facility available under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s debt consisted of the Global Ultraco Debt Facility of $250.2 million, net of $7.2 million of debt issuance costs, and the Convertible Bond Debt of $104.1 million, net of $0.7 million of debt discount and issuance costs. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

During September 2022, the Company repurchased $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Bond Debt for $14.2 million in cash and cancelled the repurchased debt. The related amount of Convertible Bond Debt was not converted by the holders and no common shares were issued as a result of the repurchase transactions. The related amount of Convertible Bond Debt would have converted into 296,990 common shares (assuming the conversion occurred as of September 30, 2022). From time to time, the Company may, subject to market condition and other factors and to the extent permitted by law, opportunistically repurchase the Convertible Bond Debt in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

We believe that our current financial resources, improved charter hire rates for the balance of the year and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our ongoing business needs and other obligations over the next twelve months. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on many factors beyond our control including, among other things, the general charter rate environment.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures relate to the purchase of vessels and capital improvements to our vessels, which are expected to enhance the revenue earning capabilities and safety of the vessels.

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, the other major capital expenditures include funding the Company’s program of regularly scheduled drydocking, which is necessary to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Although the Company has some flexibility regarding the timing of its drydocking, the costs are relatively predictable. The Company anticipates that vessels will be drydocked every five years for vessels younger than 15 years and every two and a half years for vessels older than 15 years. We anticipate that we will fund these costs with cash from operations and that these drydocks will require us to reposition these vessels from a discharge port to shipyard facilities, which will reduce our available days and operating days during that period.

Drydocking costs incurred are deferred and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period through the date of the next scheduled drydocking for those vessels. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, eight of our vessels completed drydock and we incurred drydocking expenditures of $18.5 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, six of our vessels completed drydock and we incurred drydocking expenditures of $10.7 million.

The following table represents certain information about the estimated costs for anticipated vessel drydockings, ballast water treatment systems, and scrubber installations in the next four quarters, along with the anticipated off-hire days:

		Projected Costs (1) (in millions)
Quarter Ending	Off-hire Days(2)	BWTS		Drydocks		Vessel Upgrades(3)
December 31, 2022	177	$	0.3	$	1.5	$	—
March 31, 2023	233	$	0.1	$	5.4	$	0.4
June 30, 2023	186	$	0.7	$	3.8	$	0.4
September 30, 2023	193	$	0.7	$	4.0	$	0.4

(1) Actual costs will vary based on various factors, including where the drydockings are performed.

(2) Actual duration of off-hire days will vary based on the age and condition of the vessel, yard schedules and other factors.

(3) Vessel upgrades represents capex relating to items such as high-spec low friction hull paint which improves fuel efficiency and reduces fuel costs, NeoPanama Canal chock fittings enabling vessels to carry additional cargo through the new Panama Canal locks, as well as other retrofitted fuel-saving devices. Vessel upgrades are discretionary in nature and evaluated on a business case-by-case basis.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and General Information

Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or similar terms). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership, charter and operation of drybulk vessels. The Company’s fleet is comprised of Supramax and Ultramax drybulk carriers, and the Company operates its business in one business segment.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company owned and operated a modern fleet of 52 oceangoing vessels, including 26 Supramax and 26 Ultramax vessels with a combined carrying capacity of 3.14 million deadweight tons (“dwt”) and an average age of approximately 9.9 years. Additionally, the Company charters-in five Ultramax vessels on a long term basis with remaining lease terms of approximately one year each and also charters-in vessels on a short term basis for a period of less than one year.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s charterers did not individually account for more than 10% of the Company’s gross charter revenue during those periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

In March 2021, the Company entered into an at market issuance sales agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC and Fearnley Securities, Inc., as sales agents (each, a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”), to sell shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million, from time to time through an “at-the-market” offering program (the “ATM Offering”). During the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold and issued an aggregate of 581,385 shares at a weighted average sales price of $47.97 per share under the ATM Offering for aggregate net proceeds of $27.1 million after deducting sales agent commissions and other offering costs. The proceeds were used for partial financing of vessel acquisitions and other corporate purposes.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are residual value of vessels, the useful lives of vessels, the value of stock-based compensation, estimated losses on our trade receivables, fair value of Convertible Bond Debt (as defined below) and its equity component, fair value of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and the fair value of derivatives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K. Included herein are certain updates to those policies.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adopting the ASU's guidance, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, the entity will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 under the modified retrospective approach. The Convertible Bond Debt (defined below) will no longer require bifurcation and separate accounting of the equity component. The resulting debt discount will no longer be amortized to interest expense over the life of the bond and thus an adjustment to beginning retained earnings of $8.7 million was recorded within Accumulated deficit reflecting the cumulative impact of adoption. Additionally, a $20.7 million reduction to Additional paid-in capital was recorded to reverse the equity component and an offsetting $12.0 million was recorded within Convertible Bond Debt, net of debt discount and debt issuance costs as a reversal of the debt discount.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

The FASB has issued accounting standards that had not yet become effective as of September 30, 2022 and may impact the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures in future periods. Those standards and their potential impact are discussed below:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 addresses concerns about certain accounting consequences that could result from the anticipated transition away from the use of LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies “to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.” ASU 2020-04 establishes (1) a general contract modification principle that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and (2) certain elective hedge accounting expedients. ASU 2020-04 is optional and effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, (“ASU 2021-01”), which clarifies certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, to apply to derivative instruments that use interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of rate reference reform. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on its debt under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility (as defined below) as it bears interest on outstanding borrowings at LIBOR plus a margin rate. Additionally, the Company is also evaluating the adoption of ASU 2021-01 on its interest rate swaps related to the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

Vessels and Vessel Improvements

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s owned operating fleet consisted of 52 drybulk vessels.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a contract for the installation of ballast water treatment systems (“BWTS”) on 39 of our owned vessels. The projected cost, including installation, is approximately $0.5 million per BWTS. The Company intends to complete the installations during scheduled drydockings. The Company completed installation of BWTS on 32 vessels and recorded $19.8 million in Vessels and vessel improvements in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.9 million as advances paid toward installation of BWTS on the remaining vessels recorded in Advances for ballast water systems and other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022.

On June 8, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the vessel Cardinal for a total consideration of $15.8 million. The vessel was delivered to the buyer during the third quarter of 2022. The Company recorded a gain of $9.3 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement to acquire a high-specification 2015-built scrubber-fitted Ultramax bulkcarrier for a total consideration of $27.5 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered to the Company in November 2022.

Convertible Bond Debt

On July 29, 2019, the Company issued $114.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Bond Debt”). After deducting debt discount of $1.6 million, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $112.5 million. Additionally, the Company incurred $1.0 million of debt issuance costs relating to this transaction. The Company used the proceeds to partially finance the purchase of six Ultramax vessels and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Bond Debt for $14.2 million in cash and cancelled the repurchased debt. Accordingly, a $4.2 million loss on debt extinguishment was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. As a result of these repurchases, the Company’s weighted average diluted shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by 296,990 shares.

The Convertible Bond Debt bears interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum on the outstanding principal amount thereof, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, which commenced on February 1, 2020. The Convertible Bond Debt may bear additional interest upon certain events, as set forth in the indenture governing the Convertible Bond Debt (the “Indenture”).

The Convertible Bond Debt will mature on August 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted pursuant to its terms. From time to time, the Company may, subject to market conditions and other factors and to the extent permitted by law, opportunistically repurchase the Convertible Bond Debt in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company may not otherwise redeem the Convertible Bond Debt prior to the Maturity Date.

Each holder has the right to convert any portion of the Convertible Bond Debt, provided such portion is of $1,000 or a multiple thereof, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. As of September 30, 2022, the conversion rate of the Convertible Bond Debt after adjusting for a 1-for-7 reverse stock split effected on September 15, 2020 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and the Company's cash dividends declared through September 30, 2022 is 29.699 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Bond Debt, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $33.67 per share of common stock (subject to further adjustments for future dividends).

Upon conversion of the remaining bonds, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, either cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election, to the holder (subject to shareholder approval requirements in accordance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market).

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, as set forth in the Indenture, each holder may require the Company to repurchase all or part of their Convertible Bond Debt for cash in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple thereof. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Bond Debt to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If, however, the holders instead elect to convert their Convertible Bond Debt in connection with the fundamental change, the Company will be required to increase the conversion rate of the Convertible Bond Debt at a rate determined by a combination of the date the fundamental change occurs and the stock price of the Company's common stock on such date.

The Convertible Bond Debt is the general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company. It ranks: (i) senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Bond Debt; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities of current or future subsidiaries of the Company.

The Indenture also provides for customary events of default. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Bond Debt then outstanding may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Convertible Bond Debt then outstanding to be due and payable.

In accordance with ASC 470, Debt, (“ASC 470”) the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 were to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflected the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The guidance required the initial proceeds received from the sale of convertible debt instruments to be allocated between a liability component and equity component in a manner that reflected the interest expense at the interest rate of similar non-convertible debt that could have been issued by the Company at the time of issuance. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company accounted for the Convertible Bond Debt based on the above guidance and attributed a portion of the proceeds to the equity component. The resulting debt discount was amortized using the effective interest method over the expected life of the Convertible Bond Debt as interest expense. Additionally, the debt discount and issuance costs were allocated based on the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components using the same proportions as the proceeds from the Convertible Bond Debt. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 and made adjustments to account for the cumulative impact of the adoption. See Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, for discussion of the impact of ASU 2020-06 on the accounting for the Convertible Bond Debt and the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption on January 1, 2022.

Share Lending Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Bond Debt, certain persons entered into an arrangement (the “Share Lending Agreement”) to borrow up to 511,840 shares of the Company’s common stock through share lending arrangements from Jefferies LLC (“JCS”), an initial purchaser of the Convertible Bond Debt, which in turn entered into an arrangement to borrow the shares from an entity affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, LP, one of the Company’s shareholders. The number of shares under the Share Lending Agreement have been adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of the 511,840 outstanding loaned shares was $22.1 million based on the closing price of the common stock on September 30, 2022. In connection with the Share Lending Agreement, JCS paid $0.03 million representing a nominal fee per borrowed share, equal to the par value of the Company’s common stock.

While the Share Lending Agreement does not require cash payment upon return of the shares, physical settlement is required (i.e., the loaned shares must be returned at the end of the arrangement). In view of this share return provision and other contractual undertakings of JCS in the Share Lending Agreement, which have the effect of substantially eliminating the economic dilution

that otherwise would result from the issuance of borrowed shares, the loaned shares are not considered issued and outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting the Company's basic and diluted weighted average shares or net income per share. If JCS were to file bankruptcy or commence similar administrative, liquidating or restructuring proceedings, the Company will have to consider 511,840 shares lent to JCS as issued and outstanding for the purposes of calculating net income per share.

Global Ultraco Debt Facility

On October 1, 2021, Eagle Bulk Ultraco LLC (“Eagle Ultraco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, along with certain of its vessel-owning subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the “Global Ultraco Debt Facility”) with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (“Credit Agricole”), Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (PUBL), Danish Ship Finance A/S, Nordea Bank ABP, Filial I Norge, DNB Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, and ING Bank N.V., London Branch. The Global Ultraco Debt Facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, which consists of (i) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”) to be used for refinancing the outstanding debt, including accrued interest and commitment fees under the Holdco Revolving Credit Facility, New Ultraco Debt Facility and Norwegian Bond Debt (each as defined in Note 6, Debt, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K) and for general corporate purposes. The Company paid fees of $5.8 million to the Lenders in connection with the transaction.

The Global Ultraco Debt Facility has a maturity date of five years from the date of borrowing on the Term Facility, which is October 1, 2026. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.10% to 2.80% per annum, depending on certain metrics such as the Company's financial leverage ratio and meeting sustainability linked criteria. Repayments of $12.45 million are due quarterly and began on December 15, 2021, with a final balloon payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest due upon maturity. The loan is repayable in whole or in part without premium or penalty prior to the maturity date subject to certain requirements stipulated in the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

The Global Ultraco Debt Facility is secured by 49 of the Company's vessels. The Global Ultraco Debt Facility contains certain standard affirmative and negative covenants along with financial covenants. The financial covenants include: (i) minimum consolidated liquidity based on the greater of (a) $0.6 million per vessel owned directly or indirectly by the Company or (b) 7.5% of the Company's total debt; (ii) debt to capitalization ratio not greater than 0.60:1.00; and (iii) maintaining positive working capital. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

Pursuant to the Global Ultraco Debt Facility, the Company borrowed $350.0 million and together with cash on hand repaid the outstanding debt, accrued interest and commitment fees under the Holdco Revolving Credit Facility and New Ultraco Debt Facility. Concurrently, the Company issued a 10-day call notice to redeem the outstanding bonds under the Norwegian Bond Debt. Additionally, in October 2021, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps for the notional amount of $300.0 million of the Term Facility under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility at a fixed interest rate ranging between 0.83% and 1.06% to hedge the LIBOR-based floating interest rate (see Note 5, Derivative Instruments, for additional details).

Interest rate swaps

During October 2021, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps for the notional amount of $300.0 million of the Term Facility under the Credit Agreement for the Global Ultraco Debt Facility at a fixed interest rate ranging between 0.83% and 1.06% to hedge the LIBOR-based floating interest rate.

During 2020, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of its debt under the New Ultraco Debt Facility, excluding any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility as well as any new term loan borrowings from a floating to a fixed-rate basis. In August 2021, the Company cancelled the New Ultraco Debt Facility interest rate swaps. Concurrent with the cancellation, the Company entered into another interest rate swap which was subsequently cancelled on October 1, 2021 upon repayment of the New Ultraco Debt Facility.

The interest rate swaps were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. The Company uses interest rate swaps for the management of interest rate risk exposure, as an interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of the Company’s debt from a floating to a fixed rate. The interest rate swap is an agreement between the Company and counterparties to pay, in the future, a fixed-rate payment in exchange for the counterparties paying the Company a variable payment. The amount of the net payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the interest rate swap and the prevailing market interest rates. The Company may terminate the interest rate swaps prior to their expiration dates, at which point a realized gain or loss may be recognized, or may be amortized over the original life of the interest rate swap if the hedged debt remains outstanding. The value of the Company’s commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the extent to which interest rates move against the rate fixed for each swap.

Forward freight agreements and bunker swaps

The Company trades in forward freight agreements (“FFAs”) and bunker swaps, with the objective of utilizing this market as economic hedging instruments that reduce the risk of specific vessels to changes in the freight market. The Company’s FFAs and bunker swaps have not qualified for hedge accounting treatment. As such, unrealized and realized gains are recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company records the fair value of FFAs and bunker swaps as an asset or liability on its balance sheet. Derivatives are considered to be Level 2 instruments in the fair value hierarchy. For our bunker swaps, the Company may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. Cash collateral related to derivative instruments under its collateral security arrangements is recorded in Collateral on derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements with five applicable banks and financial institutions, which contain netting provisions. In addition to a master agreement with the Company supported by a primary parent guarantee on either side, the Company also has associated credit support agreements in place with two counterparties which, among other things, provide the circumstances under which either party is required to post eligible collateral, when the market value of transactions covered by these agreements exceeds specified thresholds. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of the counterparties.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding bunker swap agreements to purchase 15,800 metric tons of high and low sulfur fuel oil with prices ranging between $486 and $719 that expire on March 31, 2023. The volume represents less than 10% of our estimated consumption on our fleet for the year.

The following table shows our open positions on FFAs as of September 30, 2022:

FFA Period	Number of Days Hedged	Average FFA Contract Price
Quarter ending December 31, 2022 - Sell Positions	2,010	$	21,981

Year ending December 31, 2023 - Sell Positions	720	$	14,525
Year ending December 31, 2023 - Buy Positions	(855)	$	14,308

The Company will realize a gain or loss on these FFAs based on the price differential between the average daily Baltic Supramax Index (“BSI”) rate and the FFA contract price. The gains or losses are recorded in Realized and unrealized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cash Collateral Disclosures

The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivatives by the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral. The amount of collateral to be posted is defined in the terms of respective master agreements executed

with counterparties or exchanges and is required when agreed upon threshold limits are exceeded. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company posted cash collateral related to derivative instruments under its collateral security arrangements of $1.2 million and $15.1 million, respectively, which is recorded in Collateral on derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash—the carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for interest-bearing deposits approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature thereof.

Debt—the carrying values approximate fair value for bonds issued under the Convertible Bond Debt, which is traded in the over-the-counter market. The carrying amount of our term loan borrowing under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility approximates its fair value, due to its variable interest rates.

The Company defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 non-derivatives include cash, money-market accounts, restricted cash accounts and collateral on derivatives.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. Our Level 2 non-derivatives include our debt balances under the Convertible Bond Debt and the Global Ultraco Debt Facility. Freight forward agreements, bunker swaps and interest rate swaps are considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company, using the income approach to value the derivatives, uses observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. See Note 5, Derivative Instruments.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and may become involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company evaluates these legal matters on a case-by-case basis to make a determination as to the impact, if any, on its business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In March 2021, the U.S. government began investigating an allegation that one of the Company's vessels may have improperly disposed of ballast water that entered the engine room bilges during a repair. The investigation of this alleged violation of environmental laws is ongoing, and, although at this time we do not believe that this matter will have a material impact on the Company, our financial condition or results of operations, we cannot determine what penalties, if any, will be imposed. We have posted a surety bond as security for any fines, penalties or associated costs that may be issued, and the Company is cooperating fully with the U.S. government in its investigation of this matter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred and recorded $0.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as Other operating expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to this incident, which include legal fees, surety bond expenses, vessel off-hire, crew changes and travel costs.

Voyage charters

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or “dead” freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a “demurrage” or “despatch” clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, with the amounts recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

Voyage charter contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606 because the Company, as the shipowner, retains control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. These contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch. The amount of revenue earned as demurrage, net of despatch incurred by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $7.8 million and $26.5 million respectively. The amount of revenue earned as demurrage, net of despatch incurred by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $8.6 million and $16.8 million, respectively.

The following table shows the revenues earned from time charters and voyage charters for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

	$	185,313	$	183,393	$	568,406	$	409,816

Contract costs

In a voyage charter contract, the Company bears all voyage related costs such as fuel costs, port charges and canal tolls. These costs are considered contract fulfillment costs because the costs are direct costs related to the performance of the contract and are expected to be recovered. The costs incurred during the period prior to commencement of loading the cargo, primarily bunkers, are deferred as they represent setup costs and are recorded in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as the related performance obligations are satisfied. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of deferred costs which represents bunker expenses and charter-hire expenses incurred prior to commencement of loading.

Net income per Common Share

Net Income per Common Share

The computation of basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Diluted net income per share gives effect to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the impact is anti-dilutive. Additionally, the Convertible Bond Debt is not considered a participating security and therefore not included in the computation of Basic net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company determined that it does not overcome the presumption of share settlement of outstanding debt and therefore the Company applied the if-converted method and included the potential shares to be issued upon conversion of Convertible Bond Debt in the calculation of Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 as their effect was dilutive. Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 excluded 17,661 and 8,830 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) related to EPS performance and TSR performance (defined below), respectively, as their effect was anti-dilutive. Additionally, diluted net income per share excluded 7,648 restricted shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as their effect was anti-dilutive. Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 excluded 21,718 warrants and 28,046 restricted shares as their effect was anti-dilutive.

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

Stock Incentive Plans

On December 15, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and the Company registered 764,087 shares of common stock adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, which may be issued under the 2016 Plan. On June 7, 2019, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2016 Plan, which increased the number of shares reserved under the 2016 Plan by an additional 357,142 shares to a maximum of 1,121,229 shares of common stock. On June 14, 2022, the Company's shareholders approved a second amendment and restatement of the 2016 Plan, which increased the number of shares reserved under the 2016 Plan by an additional 300,000 shares to a maximum of 1,421,229 shares of common stock. Any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including any prospective officer or employee) is eligible to be designated to participate in the 2016 Plan. The Company withheld shares related to restricted stock awards that vested in 2022 at the fair market value equivalent to the maximum statutory tax withholding obligation and remitted that amount in cash to the appropriate taxation authorities.

On February 11, 2022, the Company granted 31,781 restricted shares as a Company-wide grant under the 2016 Plan. The aggregate fair value of the grant was $1.7 million based on the closing share price of $52.32 on February 11, 2022. The shares will vest in equal installments on January 2, 2023, January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025. Additionally, on March 11, 2022, the Company granted 7,451 shares of fully vested common stock to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The aggregate fair value of the director grant was $0.5 million based on the closing share price of $65.88 on March 11, 2022. On April 5, 2022, the Company granted 7,468 restricted shares with 2-year cliff vesting to a member of its senior management team. The aggregate fair value of the grant was $0.5 million based on the closing share price of $63.24 on April 5, 2022. The amortization of the above grants was $0.3 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which is included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On March 11, 2022, the Company granted 17,661 shares of time-based RSUs to certain members of its senior management team under the 2016 Plan. The units vest in three equal installments on January 2, 2023, January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025. The aggregate fair value of these units was $1.2 million based on the closing share price of $65.88 on March 11, 2022. The amortization of the above grant was $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which is included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As discussed further below, on March 11, 2022, the Company granted performance-based RSUs to certain members of its senior management team under the 2016 Plan, which are contingent on certain performance criteria. The maximum number of performance-based RSUs that can be earned is 52,982.

17,661 target performance-based RSUs were granted based on earnings per share (“EPS performance”) for the performance period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022 (with targets set forth during the three months ended March 31, 2022). The RSUs will vest in three substantially equal installments (subject to achievement of performance criteria as of December 31, 2022) with the first installment vesting upon certification by the Compensation Committee and the second and third installments on January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025, respectively. The total RSUs eligible to vest ranges from zero to 200% of the target number granted based on the EPS performance. The aggregate grant-date fair value of these RSUs was $1.2 million based on the closing share price of $65.88 on March 11, 2022 and assuming the target number is probable of vesting. The EPS performance is considered to be a performance condition under ASC 718, Share based payment awards, and therefore, the stock-based compensation expense is initially recorded based on the probable outcome that the performance condition will be achieved as of the grant date with subsequent adjustments to the probable outcome over time. The ultimate expense recognized is based on the actual performance outcome at the end of the performance period. As of September 30, 2022, the Company estimated that the target (100%) will be met and recorded $0.2 million and $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

8,830 performance-based RSUs were granted based on relative total shareholder return (“TSR performance”) for the performance period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022 (with targets set forth during the three months ended March 31, 2022). These market-based RSUs will vest in three substantially equal installments (subject to achievement of performance criteria as of December 31, 2022) with the first installment vesting upon certification by the Compensation Committee and the second and third installments on January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025, respectively. The total RSUs eligible to vest ranges from zero to 200% of the target number granted based on the TSR performance. All the vested TSR performance units are subject to a 1-year holding period after vesting. The TSR performance is based on the Company's total shareholder return compared to seven peer companies over the performance period. The TSR performance is calculated based on average daily closing stock price over a 20-trading-day period at each of the beginning and end of the performance period and is adjusted to reflect dividend payments by assuming additional shares are purchased with the dividend payments. The aggregate fair value of the TSR performance

awards, which was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $0.7 million. The assumptions used in the model were risk-free rate of return of 1.05% based on continuously compounded yield on zero-coupon treasury rates as of March 11, 2022; expected volatility of 54.74% based on 1-year historical daily volatility of the closing share prices for the Company; a dividend yield of 12.45%; and 11.41% discount applied for the 1-year holding period using the Finnerty model. Volatility for each of the peer companies as well as the correlation of returns between each of the companies was also determined as inputs into the Monte Carlo model. The Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, stock awards, including RSUs, covering a total of 210,049 and 246,962 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, were outstanding under the 2016 Plan. The vesting terms are generally three years from the grant date, or as described above in the March 11, 2022 RSU and director stock grants or the April 5, 2022 stock grant. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, 24,369 restricted stock awards vested of which 10,034 were cancelled as a settlement for the liability relating to tax withholding. The Company is amortizing the grant date fair value of non-vested stock awards to stock-based compensation expense included in General and administrative expenses.

As of December 31, 2021, 47,568 vested stock options were outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $32.97 to $38.92 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, all 47,568 stock options were exercised. In connection with the exercise, 8,077 shares of common stock were issued and 39,491 stock options were cancelled as a settlement for the liability relating to tax withholding as well as the exercise price owed to the Company.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no unvested options outstanding.

Stock-based compensation expense for all stock awards, units and options included in General and administrative expenses:

Basis of Presentation and General Information (Policies)

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are residual value of vessels, the useful lives of vessels, the value of stock-based compensation, estimated losses on our trade receivables, fair value of Convertible Bond Debt (as defined below) and its equity component, fair value of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and the fair value of derivatives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adopting the ASU's guidance, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, the entity will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 under the modified retrospective approach. The Convertible Bond Debt (defined below) will no longer require bifurcation and separate accounting of the equity component. The resulting debt discount will no longer be amortized to interest expense over the life of the bond and thus an adjustment to beginning retained earnings of $8.7 million was recorded within Accumulated deficit reflecting the cumulative impact of adoption. Additionally, a $20.7 million reduction to Additional paid-in capital was recorded to reverse the equity component and an offsetting $12.0 million was recorded within Convertible Bond Debt, net of debt discount and debt issuance costs as a reversal of the debt discount.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

The FASB has issued accounting standards that had not yet become effective as of September 30, 2022 and may impact the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures in future periods. Those standards and their potential impact are discussed below:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 addresses concerns about certain accounting consequences that could result from the anticipated transition away from the use of LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies “to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.” ASU 2020-04 establishes (1) a general contract modification principle that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and (2) certain elective hedge accounting expedients. ASU 2020-04 is optional and effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, (“ASU 2021-01”), which clarifies certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, to apply to derivative instruments that use interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of rate reference reform. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on its debt under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility (as defined below) as it bears interest on outstanding borrowings at LIBOR plus a margin rate. Additionally, the Company is also evaluating the adoption of ASU 2021-01 on its interest rate swaps related to the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

Fair Value Measurements

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash—the carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for interest-bearing deposits approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature thereof.

Debt—the carrying values approximate fair value for bonds issued under the Convertible Bond Debt, which is traded in the over-the-counter market. The carrying amount of our term loan borrowing under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility approximates its fair value, due to its variable interest rates.

The Company defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 non-derivatives include cash, money-market accounts, restricted cash accounts and collateral on derivatives.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. Our Level 2 non-derivatives include our debt balances under the Convertible Bond Debt and the Global Ultraco Debt Facility. Freight forward agreements, bunker swaps and interest rate swaps are considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company, using the income approach to value the derivatives, uses observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. See Note 5, Derivative Instruments.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).
