Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2024

•Successful delivery and commencement of operations of the remaining three 210,000 dwt Newcastlemax dual fuel newbuildings in the second quarter of 2024, ordered from New Times Shipyard, resulting in a total delivered fleet of 12 vessels.

•Total operating revenues of $31.2 million, which is an average time charter equivalent (“TCE”) earnings of approximately $34,600 per day, gross1. Average Baltic 5TC Capesize Index was $23,482 per day.

•Net income of $6.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 of $24.0 million for the second quarter of 2024.

•Conversion of index linked charters on Mount Blanc and Mount Neblina to fixed charters from May 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024 at an average rate of $37,275 per day. The vessels will continue to earn scrubber premium according to the terms of their existing time charter agreements.

•Draw down of financing on the three delivered vessels by sale leaseback facilities provided by CCB Financial Leasing Company Limited (“CCBFL”), totaling $147.6 million.

•Declaration and payment of cash distributions for March and April 2024 of $0.03 and $0.04 per common share, respectively.

•Declaration of cash distributions for May 2024 of $0.04 per common share, which was paid in July 2024.

Subsequent events

•Conversion of index linked charters on Mount Blanc and Mount Neblina to fixed charters from July 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024 at an average of $35,000 per day. The vessels will continue to earn scrubber premium according to the terms of their existing time charter agreements.

•Declaration of cash distributions for June and July 2024 of $0.05 and $0.06 per common share, respectively.

Contracted CEO, Herman Billung commented:

“All of our 12 ships have been successfully delivered from New Times Shipyard and are now generating revenue. We are pleased with the performance of the fleet and the relationship we are experiencing with our four reputable counterparties. Out of our 12 vessels, 10 are exposed to the spot market earning on average a premium of 42.25% to the Baltic 5TC (BCI) index.

In the first half of 2024, the Baltic 5TC Capesize index averaged $23,482 per day compared to $12,249 in the same period last year. This represents the second strongest first half we have witnessed in a decade, only behind 2021, and reflects a well-balanced market and a solid fundamental for an upward cycle that potentially could last for years to come.

The Company has continued its strategy with paying monthly distributions to its shareholders. With limited need for capital investments, we expect that a sizeable amount of free cash-flow can be paid to the shareholders. On August 8, 2024, we declared cash distributions of $0.06 per share, and if our positive market outlook materializes, there may be an upside on these payments.”

Total operating revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were $31.2 million, a $7.6 million increase compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase is a result of the delivery and commencement of operations of three additional vessels during the second quarter of 2024, Mount Denali, Mount Aconcagua and Mount Emai. The average gross TCE earnings increased from $30,600/day in the first quarter of 2024 to $34,600/day in the second quarter of 2024.

Vessel operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $5.6 million, a $0.7 million increase compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase is a result of the commencement of operations of the three additional vessels during the quarter. The Company achieved an average vessel operating cost per day rate3 of $6,000 for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $6,200 in the first quarter of 2024.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $1.3 million, a $0.2 million decrease compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease is primarily a result of lower management fees to 2020 Bulkers compared to the first quarter of 2024, when payment of yearly bonuses to contracted employees occurred.

Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 2024 were $6.5 million, a $1.0 million increase compared to the first quarter of 2024. The overall increase is a result of the commencement of depreciation on the additional three vessels delivered during the current quarter.

3Average vessel operating cost per day is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by the number of calendar days in the quarter.

Total financial expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $10.7 million, a $1.7 million increase compared to the first quarter of 2024. This is mainly due to the increase in interest expense as a result of the increase in outstanding debt following the delivery of three vessels in the second quarter of 2024. Upon delivery of the three remaining vessels, the Company closed its sale and leaseback financing arrangements with subsidiaries of CCBFL whereby upon delivery, the vessels were sold to special purpose vehicles owned by CCBFL and leased back to the Company under bareboat charters. In addition, we had fewer assets qualifying for interest capitalization following the vessel deliveries, resulting in a smaller proportion of interest expense qualifying for capitalization.

Vessels and equipment as of June 30, 2024 was $867.7 million, a $220.1 million increase compared to $647.7 million as of March 31, 2024. During the period, the Company took delivery of Mount Denali, Mount Aconcagua and Mount Emai, and upon delivery, total value of the newbuildings upon completion of $226.8 million were transferred from newbuildings to vessels and equipment and commenced depreciation.

Newbuildings as of June 30, 2024 was $nil, a $67.1 million decrease compared to $67.1 million as of March 31, 2024. During the quarter, expenditures including milestone payments of $159.0 million and interest of $0.7 million were capitalized. Upon delivery of the last three vessels, total value of newbuildings amounting to $226.8 million was transferred to vessels and equipment,

Total debt as of June 30, 2024 was $725.5 million, a $142.2 million increase compared to $583.3 million as of March 31, 2024. The overall increase is primarily due to the draw down of $147.6 million from CCBFL on the delivery of Mount Denali, Mount Aconcagua and Mount Emai, offset by repayments of $4.9 million on the sale and leaseback arrangements and movement in deferred finance costs of $0.5 million.

Cash Flows for the second quarter of 2024

Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.6 million, compared to $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase is primarily a result of the increase in operating profit in the current quarter due to an increase in the number of operating vessels and operating days.

Net cash used in investing activities was $159.4 million, primarily consisting of $155.7 million for the final installment payments on the delivery of the three vessels (of which $147.7 million was financed by the sale and leaseback arrangements with CCBFL). The remaining amount includes costs of preparation of the vessels for delivery.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $138.0 million primarily consisting of $147.7 million drawn down from the sale and leaseback financing arrangements to pay scheduled delivery installments for the additional three vessels delivered in the second quarter, offset by repayments on the sale and leaseback financings of $4.9 million, deferred financing costs of $0.4 million and payments of cash distributions of $4.4 million.

Liquidity and financing

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $21.9 million as of June 30, 2024 and $10.0 million available to drawdown under the revolving credit facility with Drew Holdings Ltd (the “Drew Facility”).

After 180 days following the delivery of each newbuilding, each subsidiary under the sale and leaseback arrangements with CCBFL and Jiangsu Financial Leasing Co. Ltd (“Jiangsu”) is required to maintain a minimum cash balance equivalent to the bareboat hire payable within the next three months which amounts to approximately $1.5 million per vessel. As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents include $3.0 million which the Company is required to maintain as minimum cash balance under the sale and leaseback arrangements with CCBFL and Jiangsu. In July 2024, the total minimum cash balance required under the sale and leaseback arrangements increased to $7.6 million following the delivery of three vessels in January 2024. This is expected to increase to $9.1 million in October 2024 and further to $12.3 million in December 2024 for all eight vessels under sale and leaseback arrangements with CCBFL and Jiangsu.

The remaining newbuildings were delivered in June 2024 and there are no further installments payable to New Times Shipyard.

All the vessels have been financed by Chinese leasing houses at a fixed bareboat rate with a maturity of seven years from the delivery of each vessel. This gives the Company a fixed financing cost for the delivered vessels until maturity of the lease.

Since February 2024, the Company has declared and paid monthly cash distributions to our shareholders. It is the Company’s intention to pay a regular dividend in support of our main objective which is to return most of the cash generated after debt service to our shareholders. Any dividends will be at the sole discretion of the Board and will depend upon earnings, market prospects, capital expenditure requirements, available liquidity and distributable reserves, covenants in our debt instruments and other relevant factors. The timing and amount of dividends, if any, is at the discretion of the Board and there is no assurance that the Board will declare dividends in the future or as to the amount or timing of any dividends.

Commercial update

In the second quarter of 2024 the Company achieved average gross TCE earnings of approximately $34,600 per day, gross, including average daily scrubber and LNG benefits of approximately $2,400 per day.

In addition, in the second quarter of 2024, the Company’s vessels trading on index linked time charters earned approximately $35,600 per day, gross, including average daily scrubber and LNG benefits. Following the conversion of the index linked charters to fixed rate time charters, the Company’s vessels trading on fixed rate time charters earned approximately $33,200 per day, gross, including average daily scrubber and LNG benefits.

The Baltic 5TC Capesize Index averaged $22,665 per day in the second quarter of 2024.

Fleet status

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company agreed to convert its index linked charters to fixed rate time charters for Mount Bandeira and Mount Hua from February 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, and for Mount Etna from April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

In April 2024, the Company agreed to convert its index linked charters to fixed rate time charters for Mount Blanc and Mount Neblina from May 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024. The Company also further agreed to convert the index linked charters to fixed charter rates for these two vessels from July 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024.

Market commentary

The Baltic 5TC Capesize index as of August 8, 2024 stands at $20,396 having averaged $23,645 year to date, an increase from $12,496 during the same period in 2023.

Following unseasonably strong Capesize demand (measured in tonne miles) in the first quarter of 2024, demand has somewhat slowed from a 9.7% year-on-year increase to a 5.5% year-on-year increase in the second quarter of 2024. Overall, Capesize demand during the first half of 2024 increased by 7.4% compared to the same period last year.

Demand in the second quarter of 2024 was driven by strong shipments of iron ore and bauxite, with volumes increasing by 20.9mt and 4.1mt year-on-year, respectively.

This was partially offset by the decrease in coal shipments, with volumes falling by 11.4mt or 11.8% year-on-year. The impact in tonne-miles was more modest with a decline of 7.2% which was due to the increase in front haul volumes, particularly from Colombia to the buyers in the Pacific basin led by China, which saw imports from Colombia rising from practically zero in the second quarter of 2023 to 3.8mt in the second quarter of 2024. However, that was offset by the significant decrease in exports out of Australia, Russia and the United States.

Overall, Capesize shipments were up by 16.4mt or by 3.3% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year.

Although still minimal compared to iron ore and bauxite, manganese ore shipments from West Africa have been growing rapidly in recent quarters, contributing to Capesize demand in the Atlantic. During the first half of 2024, Capesize manganese ore shipments increased by 1.6mt or by 73% year-on-year. While it is small in volume, tonne-mile effect was significant, with manganese trades accounting for over 4% of the growth in Capesize tonne-miles in the second quarter of 2024.

Imports to China continue to drive the Capesize market. Chinese imports in Capesize tonnage were up by just over 40mt in the second quarter of 2024, but import volumes in the rest of the world were down by 8.3mt.

Growth in vessel supply for large bulk carriers is still expected to be moderate in the coming years with expected Capesize deliveries of 2.2 million dwt (or 0.6 % of existing fleet) for the remainder of 2024, 7.3 million dwt in 2025 (or 1.8 % of existing fleet), 8.2 million dwt for 2026 (or 2.1% of existing fleet) and 11.6 million dwt (or 2.9% of existing fleet) after 2026.

Following a few recent domestic Chinese orders for Newcastlemax vessels, available newbuilding berths with delivery before the second half of 2028 are expected to be limited. Current newbuilding costs for a dual-fuel Newcastlemax in China are believed to be approximately $95 million.

We see potential upside to the future development in the Capesize market from current levels in the event of continued strong exports of iron ore and bauxite from Brazil and West Africa. The Simandou project in Guinea is reported to be advancing at a good pace, with the first shipment expected in 2025 with the 30-month ramp-up to 60 million tonnes per annum for phase 1, and an additional 60 million tonnes per annum for phase 2. In addition, Vale is targeting 50 million tonnes per annum increase in capacity by 2026 from Vargem Grande, Capanema and S11D mine.

In addition, we could see increased coal imports following new restrictions being put in place for Chinese domestic coal miners starting May 1, 2024.

Key downside risks to the Capesize market include a continued economic slowdown in China, as well as heightened geopolitical tensions. Continued weakness in the Chinese property sector also represents an ongoing risk to Chinese steel demand.

Capesize fleet development

The global Capesize fleet stands at 399 million dwt as of August 1, 2024, up from 391 million dwt in August 2023. The current orderbook for Capesize dry bulk vessels currently stands at 7.2% of the existing fleet, up from 5.3% in 2023.

9.8 million dwt has been ordered so far in 2024, compared to 3.2 million dwt during the same period in 2023. 0.53 million dwt has been scrapped so far in 2024, compared to 0.85 million dwt during the same period in 2023.

Operational update

In the second quarter of 2024, our fleet had 935 operational days, and a utilization rate of 99.9% of our delivered vessels.

Outlook

Less than 120 large bulk carriers are due for delivery prior to 2028 and we expect a significant number of vessels to be due for dry docking in the next couple of years. For comparison, more than 675 Capesize vessels which were delivered between 2010 and 2012 are due for their third special survey in the coming years, which potentially also implies steel renewals. According to Clarksons, more than 52% of the fleet will be older than 15 years by 2027.

The demand volume growth is expected to be moderate, but sourcing of raw materials in the Atlantic basin with demand in the Far East is expected to continue to support longer sailing distances. The potential 160 mt per year incremental iron ore supply from Guinea and Brazil could, if all ending up in China and displacing domestically produced iron ore, mean demand for approximately 250 incremental Capesize equivalent ships.

Himalaya Shipping has one of the most modern Newcastlemax fleets in the world. The dual fuel LNG capability means that when a vessel is running on LNG, the CO2 emissions are more than halved compared to a standard Capesize index ship. Our modern fleet should be well positioned to take advantage of the regulatory challenges facing a majority of the Capesize fleet.

We believe that Himalaya’s structure, with index linked charters earning on average a 42.25% premium to the Baltic 5TC (BCI) index, low G&A costs and financing with seven-year fixed bareboat rates, positions us well to continue delivering solid returns to our shareholders in the coming years in what we believe will be an improving spot market.
