Himalaya Shipping Limited Announces its Preliminary Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2023

Hamilton, Bermuda, November 15, 2023

Himalaya Shipping Limited (“Himalaya”, “Himalaya Shipping” or the “Company”) announces preliminary unaudited results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2023

•Successful delivery and commencement of operations of two additional 210,000 dwt Newcastlemax dual fuel newbuildings ordered from New Times Shipyard (“NTS”), resulting in a total delivered fleet of six vessels, with six additional vessels to be delivered in 2024.

•Total operating revenues of $10.2 million, which is an average time charter equivalent (“TCE”) earnings of approximately $22,300 per day, gross1.

•EBITDA2 of $6.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

•Execution of financing on the two delivered vessels by sale leaseback facilities provided by CCB Financial Leasing Company Limited (“CCBFL”) totaling $98.6 million.

•Settlement of installment payments on three of our newbuilding vessels totaling $20.7 million financed by pre-delivery financing with CCBFL.

•LNG bunkering on three vessels since July 2023.

Subsequent events

•Secured time charter agreements for the three remaining uncontracted vessels for 24 months' time charters with an evergreen structure to commence in the first half of 2024. These vessels will earn an index-linked rate, reflecting a significant premium to the Baltic 5TC index (BCI). With this, the Company has secured employment of the entire fleet.

•Extended time charters for six of our vessels by an additional year, until the end of 2026.

Contracted CEO, Herman Billung commented:

“We are very pleased with the reception of our fleet among major commodity, trading and logistics companies. The entire fleet has now been fixed out to four different counterparties, one vessel on fixed time charter and the remaining eleven vessels fixed on index linked charters which will earn on average a premium of 42.25% to the Baltic 5TC index. We are of the opinion that the index linked charters represent one of the highest premiums in our industry. Further, we strongly believe that the recent execution of the extension of time charters on six of our vessels until the end of 2026, is evidence of the strong quality of our fleet and our strong track record for the operations of our ships thus far.

We expect that our simple structure, with index linked charters earning a significant premium, low G&A costs and financing with seven-year fixed bareboat rates, positions us well to deliver solid returns to our shareholders.

We have no intention to invest in new capacity, which will enable us to return most of the cash generated after debt service to our shareholders.”

Total operating revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $10.2 million, a 52% increase compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase is a result of the delivery and subsequent commencement of operation of two additional vessels during the period, Mount Matterhorn and Mount Neblina. The Company achieved an average daily TCE earnings, gross, of $22,300 from all six vessels operating during the quarter.

Vessel operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $3.0 million, a 67% increase compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase is a result of an additional two vessels commencing their operations. The Company achieved an average vessel operating expense per day rate3 of $6,300 and $6,200 for quarters ended September 30 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $1.0 million, a 26% decrease compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily a result of a decrease in Management fees from 2020 Bulkers Management AS.

Depreciation and amortization for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $3.2 million, a 62% increase compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The overall increase is a result of the commencement of depreciation on the additional two vessels delivered during the third quarter.

3 Average vessel operating expense per day is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by the number of calendar days the fleet operated.

Total financial expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $4.9 million, an 84% increase compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This is mainly due to the increase in interest expense as a result of the increase in outstanding debt following the delivery of the two vessels. Upon delivery of the two vessels during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into sale and leaseback financing arrangements with subsidiaries of CCBFL whereby upon delivery, the vessels were sold to special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) owned by CCBFL and leased back to the Company under bareboat charters. In addition, there are fewer qualifying assets following the vessel deliveries, resulting in a smaller proportion of interest expense qualifying for capitalization.

Vessels and equipment increased by $145.5 million or 51% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. During the period, the Company accepted delivery of Mount Matterhorn and Mount Neblina, and upon acceptance, the assets were transferred from newbuildings to vessels and equipment and commenced depreciation.

Newbuildings decreased by $34.9 million or 24% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is a result of the transfer from newbuildings to vessels and equipment upon delivery of the additional two vessels amounting to $148.7 million, offset by capitalization of expenditures including milestone payments and supervision costs of $111.9 million and capitalized interest of $1.9 million. The Company has drawn $119.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 on the sale leaseback financing arrangements to fund these installments.

Liquidity and Cash Flows for the quarter ended September 30, 2023

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents was $12.8 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $24.2 million as of June 30, 2023.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $127.6 million, primarily consisting of $103.1 million for the final installment payments for the two vessels delivered (of which $98.6 million was financed by the sale and leaseback arrangement with CCBFL), and $20.7 million for installment payments on the newbuilding vessels under construction, which was fully financed by CCBFL. The remaining amount includes costs in preparation of the vessels for delivery.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $114.5 million as a result of a $98.6 million draw down from the sale and leaseback financing arrangements to pay scheduled delivery installments for the additional two vessels, and $20.7 million from pre-delivery financing to pay scheduled pre-delivery installments for newbuildings under construction, offset by repayments on the sale and leaseback financing of $2.4 million and financing charges of $2.4 million.

Financing and corporate development

The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $15.1 million as of October 31, 2023 and $15.0 million available to drawdown under the revolving credit facility with Drew Holdings Ltd.

The Company also has a maximum of $316.2 million available to draw down under existing sale and leaseback financing agreements with CCBFL and Jiangsu Financial Leasing Co. Ltd. for pre-delivery and delivery financing of the remaining six newbuildings to be delivered in 2024. Remaining installment payments to NTS are $331.5 million, which include costs for scrubbers installation.

Newbuilding program

Two vessels were delivered from NTS in the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The remaining six vessels are scheduled to be delivered as follows:

(numbers in $ million)
Vessel name	Target delivery date	Price*	Remaining installments	Current committed financing
Mount Bandeira	January 2024	72.1	51.6	49.3
Mount Hua	January 2024	72.1	51.6	49.3
Mount Elbrus	January 2024	72.6	51.9	49.3
Mount Denali	May 2024	72.6	58.8	56.1
Mount Aconcagua	June 2024	72.6	58.8	56.1
Mount Emai	June 2024	72.6	58.8	56.1
Total		434.6	331.5	316.2

*Amounts net of address commissions

The newbuilding program is progressing slightly ahead of schedule.

In August 2022, the Company decided to install scrubbers on the entire fleet of twelve vessels that were under construction at NTS in China. The installation was done by the shipyard on the six vessels that have been already delivered within the previously agreed delivery schedule (and will be done on our six remaining newbuild vessels prior to delivery) at attractive prices and payment terms.

With the installation of scrubbers, the vessels have, or will have, the ability to be fueled with LNG, Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (LSFO) or High Sulfur Fuel Oil (HSFO). This offers significant increased flexibility for our customers and has been valuable in employment discussions, with some customers already choosing to bunker LNG as discussed above.

The remaining installments under the Newbuilding program are substantially covered by sale leaseback financing arrangements which offers both pre- and post- delivery financing.

Commercial update

In the third quarter of 2023 the Company achieved average time charter equivalent earnings of approximately $22,300 per day, gross.

Also, in the third quarter of 2023, the Company’s five vessels trading on index-linked time charters earned approximately $20,500 per day, gross, including average daily scrubber and LNG benefits of approximately $1,500 per day. The Company’s vessel trading on fixed time charter earned approximately $29,800 per day, gross.

The Baltic 5TC Capesize Index averaged US$13,407 per day in the third quarter of 2023.

The Company achieved average time charter equivalent earnings for October 2023 of approximately $35,400, per day, gross. The Baltic 5TC Capesize Index averaged $25,557 per day in the same period.

Market commentary

The Baltic 5TC Capesize index rates averaged US$14,082 year to date, down from US$16,551 during the same period in 2022. Following a normal seasonally weak first quarter, the Capesize market recovered during the second quarter and remained relatively flat throughout the third quarter of 2023, before posting significant gains so far in the fourth quarter of 2023 with average rates of US$24,015 quarter to date.

Capesize trade growth has been relatively strong with ton-miles sailed on Capesize vessels up 3.7% year on year to date. The increase in ton-miles was somewhat offset by a significant drop in congestion for the Capesize fleet during the third quarter. Since the peak in May 2022, the share of the Capesize vessels in port has dropped from a peak of 34% to around 25% today, which is around the lowest levels seen since 2016.

The 3.7% increase in Capesize ton-miles year to date is mainly driven by a 30% growth in the Bauxite trade, while the iron ore trade has increased by 3.2% so far this year. The iron ore trade is driven by a 6.3% increase in Brazilian export volumes while Australian export volumes are up 1.6% year on year. For the coal trade, ton-miles are down 3.1% compared to 2022. Global crude steel production for the period January to September 2023 was flat compared to the same period in 2022. Globally, excluding China, steel production is down 3%, while Chinese steel production increased 2.4%. Chinese iron ore imports from January to October were up 6% year on year.

Despite higher imports, Chinese port inventories currently stand at 105 million tons, compared to 119 million tons a year ago and remain very close to their 2016 low.

Fleet growth is expected to be moderate in the coming years with expected Capesize deliveries of 1.2 million dwt (or 0.3% of existing fleet) for the remainder of 2023, 8.0 million dwt (or 2.0%) in 2024 and 7.0 million dwt (or 1.75%) in 2025. The total order book for vessels of the size of 100.000 dwt and bigger stands at 99 units through 2027, a very modest total amount, which represents 5.2% of the dwt of the existing fleet. Because of the high order levels of container vessels, Chinese yards are believed to have very limited capacity for ordering of large drybulk vessels before 2027, giving good visibility for limited supply growth in the coming years. New ordering is expected to remain subdued in part driven by uncertainties relating to the optimal propulsion systems to meet the shipping industry’s ambitions for de-carbonization.

Potential upside to the future development in the Capesize market from current levels, relate to a potential restocking of China’s low iron ore inventories, as well as a normalization of congestion from the current low levels. Key downside risks to the Capesize market include a continued economic slowdown, driven by interest rates, tight monetary conditions due to inflationary pressure, as well as heightened geopolitical tensions. Continued weakness in the Chinese property sector also represents an ongoing risk to Chinese steel demand.

The global Capesize fleet stands at 394 million dwt as of November 1, 2023, up from 384 million dwt in November 2022. The current order book for Capesize dry bulk vessels currently stands at 5.1% of the existing fleet, down from 6.1% in November 2022. 5.75 million dwt has been ordered in 2023 so far, compared to 8 million dwt ordered during the same period in 2022. 1.2 million dwt has been scrapped so far in 2023, compared to 2 million dwt during the same period in 2022.

Operational update

In the quarter ended September 30, 2023, two additional vessels were delivered from NTS slightly ahead of their original scheduled delivery dates and commenced their charters shortly thereafter. Following the delivery of these vessels, our fleet had 476 operational days with nine unplanned offhire days in the quarter ended September 30, 2023. In October 2023, there were only a few hours of unplanned offhire for the whole month. The vessels operated at approximately $6,300 per day in vessel operating expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2023, which is in line with the budget.

Outlook

Management has a positive market outlook for the coming years. The Capesize order book stands at a 30-year low. 15% of the fleet will be more than 20 years old before 2029. Another 50% of the fleet will be more than 20 years old by 2032. Given that it is difficult to add significant new Capesize dry bulk capacity before 2027, coupled with the current low order book, supply/demand balance should improve in the next few years. Stricter environmental regulations will also have an impact on the aging fleet, thus, we believe the outlook for the industry is strong. We are transitioning into a fully operational fleet with the delivery of our six remaining newbuild vessels through the first half of 2024, with a strategy to deliver profitable returns to shareholders through monthly dividends.
