Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Himalaya Shipping” refers to Himalaya Shipping Ltd. and the terms “Company”, “we”, “Group”, “our” and words of similar import refer to Himalaya Shipping and its consolidated companies. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “$” in this report are to U.S. dollars. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For additional information relating to our operating and financial review and prospects, including definitions of certain terms used herein, please see our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Overview

We are a bulk carrier company with a fleet of 12 Newcastlemax dry bulk vessels in operation each with capacity in the range of 210,000 dwt. Our vessels are equipped with the latest generation dual fuel LNG technology, with fuel-saving devices and exhaust gas cleaning systems or “scrubbers”, which we believe make our vessels more fuel efficient, more cost effective, and environmentally friendly as compared to older dry bulk vessels without similar features.

We expect the dual fuel capability to be a benefit when LNG is economical to use. Two of our vessels, Mount Elbrus and Mount Aconcagua, are currently operating on LNG.

Second Quarter of 2024 and Recent Developments

See below a description of certain developments that have occurred in the second quarter of 2024 and since June 30, 2024:

Delivery of new vessels

We took delivery of three additional newbuilding vessels, Mount Denali, Mount Aconcagua and Mount Emai from New Times Shipyard in the second quarter of 2024 and the time charters with their respective charterers commenced shortly thereafter.

Financing

In conjunction with the delivery of Mount Denali, Mount Aconcagua and Mount Emai between April and June 2024, the sale and leaseback financing arrangements with CCB Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“CCBFL”) closed and we drew down $147.6 million.

From 180 days following the delivery of each newbuilding, each subsidiary under the CCBFL and Jiangsu sale and leaseback arrangement 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, the Company is required to maintain a total minimum cash balance of $3.0 million in the subsidiaries that lease Mount Matterhorn and Mount Neblina, which is included in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 as there are no legal restrictions on the bank account. The required total minimum cash balance increased by $4.6 million to $7.6 million in July 2024. This is due to the total minimum cash balance requirement in the subsidiaries that lease Mount Bandeira, Mount Hua and Mount Elbrus which were delivered in January 2024.

Cash distributions

In the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we paid cash distributions totaling $4.4 million.

3

In June 2024, the Company declared cash distributions of $0.04 per common share for a total of $1.8 million which was paid in July 2024.

In July 2024, we declared and paid cash distributions of $0.05 per common share for a total of $2.2 million, and in August 2024, we declared cash distributions of $0.06 per common share for a total of $2.6 million.

Set forth below is selected financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2023

Net income increased by $10.5 million to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of $1.1 million in the same period in 2023. This is primarily a result of the following:

Total operating revenues:

Time charter revenues increased by $46.6 million. The increase is a result of twelve vessels being in operation by the end of the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, with nine vessels in operation for the full six months ended June 30, 2024 plus an additional three vessels delivered in the second quarter of 2024, compared to four vessels in operation during the six months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the vessels earned an average daily time charter equivalent (“TCE”) earnings, gross of $32,800/day, operating for a total of 1,733 days across the fleet compared to $25,700/day for a total of 330 days in the same period in 2023.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of average TCE earnings, gross (unaudited) to total operating revenues for the periods presented. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

In $ thousands, except average daily TCE earnings and number of days	Six months ended June 30,
	2024	2023	Change	% Change
Total operating revenues	54,783	8,174	46,609	570	%
Add: Address commissions	1,973	302	1,671	553	%
Total operating revenues, gross	56,756	8,476	48,280	570	%
Fleet operational days	1,733	330	1,403	425	%
Average Daily TCE earnings Gross	32,800	25,700	7,100	28	%

5

Vessel operating expenses:

Vessel operating expenses increased by $8.5 million. The increase is a result of twelve vessels being in operation by the end of the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to four vessels in operation during the same period in 2023. Vessel operating expenses include, among others, crew costs, insurance, spares, lube oils and management fees. The average vessel operating expense per day across the fleet was $6,100 and $6,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Average vessel operating expense per day is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by the number of calendar days the fleet operated in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of 1,733 days and 330 days, respectively.

Voyage expenses and commission:

Voyage expenses and commission increased by $0.5 million. The increase is a result of twelve vessels being in operation by the end of the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to four vessels in operation during the same period in 2023. Voyage expenses and commission are mainly comprised of brokers’ commissions.

General and administrative expenses:

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million. The increase is primarily a result of an increase in administrative costs necessary to operate as a U.S. listed company following the Company’s U.S. IPO in April 2023, which primarily resulted in increases in Directors and Officers Liability insurance of $0.2 million, director and employee costs of $0.2 million, and management fees from 2020 Bulkers Management AS of $0.3 million.

Depreciation and amortization:

Depreciation and amortization increased by $9.5 million. The increase is a result of the increase in the number of depreciable assets. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had twelve vessels in operation, compared to four vessels in operation as of June 30, 2023.

Total financial expenses, net:

Set forth below is a breakdown of our total financial expenses, net for the periods presented.

	Six months ended June 30,
In $ thousands:	2024	2023	Change	% Change
Interest income	585	258	327	127	%
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized	(20,169)	(2,885)	(17,284)	599	%
Other financial income (expenses), net	6	(325)	331	(102)	%
Total financial expenses, net	(19,578)	(2,952)	(16,626)	563	%

Interest income increased by $0.3 million. The overall increase is a result of an increase in the average cash balance during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, resulting in an increase in interest income.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased by $17.3 million. The increase is mainly due to the increase in outstanding debt from $319.4 million as of June 30, 2023 to $740.8 million as of June 30, 2024 following the delivery of the Company’s vessels. The Company entered into sale and leaseback financing arrangements on vessels, whereby upon delivery, the vessels were sold to special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) and leased back to the Company under bareboat charters. As of June 30, 2024, twelve vessels were operating under bareboat charters, compared to four vessels as of June 30, 2023.

6

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased by $36.7 million to $40.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this measure increases comparability of total business performance from period to period and against the performance of other companies. Set forth below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the periods presented. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

	Six months ended June 30,
In $ thousands:	2024	2023	Change	% Change
Net income (loss)	9,355	(1,138)	10,493	(922)	%
Depreciation and amortization	11,899	2,357	9,542	405	%
Total financial expenses, net	19,578	2,952	16,626	563	%
Income tax	—	—	—	—	%
Adjusted EBITDA	40,832	4,171	36,661	879	%

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We operate in a capital-intensive industry and have financed our purchase of newbuildings through a combination of equity capital, and sale and leaseback financing. Since the delivery of the six vessels in 2023 and the delivery of the remaining six vessels in 2024, we have financed our working capital requirements from cash generated from operations and equity offerings.

Our ability to generate adequate cash flows on a short and medium-term basis depends substantially on the trading performance of our vessels. Periodic adjustments to the supply of and demand for dry bulk vessels cause the industry to be cyclical in nature.

We expect continued volatility in dry bulk market rates for our vessels in the foreseeable future with corresponding effects on our short and medium-term liquidity.

Our short-term, medium-term and long-term liquidity requirements relate to funding working capital requirements and lease payments under our sale and leaseback agreements. In addition, our sale and leaseback agreements contain debt incurrence covenants which could limit our ability to raise debt financing to meet liquidity or other capital requirements.

Sources of short-term liquidity include cash, payments from customers under charters, and amounts available under our $10 million Revolving Credit Facility with Drew Holdings Limited, under which drawings are permitted until December 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.9 million. Our cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in U.S. dollars.

Borrowing Activities

As of June 30, 2024, we had principal debt outstanding of $740.8 million, of which $12.9 million and $13.2 million are payable in the remaining six months of 2024 and the first half of 2025, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all our covenants under our financing arrangements. See Note 13 - Debt in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

CCB Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“CCBFL”) – Sale and leaseback financing arrangements

7

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company drew $196.9 million on the financing to pay scheduled delivery installment on the “Mount Elbrus”, “Mount Denali”, “Mount Aconcagua” and “Mount Emai”.

After 180 days following the delivery of each newbuilding, each subsidiary under the CCBFL sale and leaseback arrangement 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, the Company is required to maintain a total minimum cash balance of $3.0 million in the subsidiaries that lease “Mount Matterhorn” and “Mount Neblina,” which is included in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 as there are no legal restrictions on the bank account.

Going Concern Assumption

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this report contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures, Average TCE Earnings, Gross and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enables comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.

The non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not uniformly defined by all companies and may not be comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Measure	Closest Equivalent to GAAP Measure	Definition	Rationale for Presentation of this non-GAAP Measure
Average TCE Earnings, Gross	Total operating revenues	Time charter revenues and voyage charter revenues, add back address commission, and divided by operational days.	Provides additional meaningful information for investors to analyze our fleets’ daily income performance.
Adjusted EBITDA	Net income (loss)	Net income (loss) adjusted for: depreciation of vessels and equipment; total financial expenses, net; and income tax expense.	Increases the comparability of total business performance from period to period and against the performance of other companies by removing the impact of depreciation, financing and tax items.

We believe average TCE revenues provide additional meaningful information for investors to analyze our fleets’ daily income performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA improves the comparability of period-to-period results and is representative of our underlying performance, although Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations, including not reflecting our cash requirements for taxes, working capital or debt service.

Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

Note 1 - General Information

Himalaya Shipping Ltd. was incorporated in Bermuda on March 17, 2021. We are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker HSHP and the Euronext Expand, operated by the Oslo Stock Exchange, under the ticker HSHP. Himalaya Shipping Ltd. was founded for the purpose of owning high-quality Newcastlemax dry bulk vessels, each with capacity in the range of 210,000 dead weight tonnes (“dwt”) which are equipped with the latest generation dual fuel LNG technology. As of June 30, 2024, we have a total of twelve vessels in operation. The Company has entered into sale and leaseback financing arrangements for its vessels which are described in Note 13.

As used herein, and unless otherwise required by the context, the term “Himalaya Shipping” refers to Himalaya Shipping Ltd. and the terms “Company”, “we”, “Group”, “our” and words of similar import refer to Himalaya Shipping and its consolidated companies. The use herein of such terms as “group”, “organization”, “we”, “us”, “our” and “its” or references to specific entities, is not intended to be a precise description of corporate relationships.

Going Concern

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $21.9 million. In addition, the Company has $10.0 million available to drawdown under the Drew revolving credit facility.

We believe that we will have sufficient resources to satisfy our obligations in the ordinary course of business for the 12-month period from the date these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. We have performed stress testing with respect to our forecasted cash positions under various scenarios, and accordingly we believe we will meet our obligations as and when they fall due.

Note 2 - Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required under U.S. GAAP in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 27, 2024. The Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet data for December 31, 2023 was derived from our audited annual financial statements. The amounts are presented in thousands of United States dollars ("U.S. dollar" or "$"), unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and in management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2024, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are consistent with those followed in preparation of our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 3 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Adoption of new accounting standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 (Topic 280 Segment Reporting): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures requiring disclosure of incremental segment information for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses, such as:

1.On an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM);

2.On an annual and interim basis, other segment items by reportable segment with a description of its composition;

3.All annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets required by Topic 280 in interim periods;

4.One or more additional measures of segment profit if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and making decisions on how to allocate resources. However, the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the public entity’s consolidated financial statements should be at least one of the reported segment profit or loss measures (or the single reported measure, if only one is disclosed);

5.The title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and making decisions about how to allocate resources;

6.For an entity with a single reportable segment, all the disclosures required by the amendments and all existing segment disclosures under Topic 280.

ASU 2023-07 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update are required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. There was no impact resulting from these amendments on our unaudited consolidated financial statements and no material impact on our related disclosures as presented in this interim set of accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet adopted

The following table provides a brief description of other recent accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted as of June 30, 2024:

Himalaya Shipping Ltd.

Condensed Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Standard	Description	Date of adoption	Expected Effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2023-6 Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative	The amendments represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Topics. Amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations.	The date on which SEC removes related disclosure or two years later	Under evaluation
ASU 2023-9 Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures	The amendments improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring annual disclosure of (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation; and (2) additional information for reconciling items if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% .of the resulting amount by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. An entity is also required to provide the nature, effect and underlying causes of the reconciling items, and the judgment used in categorizing them, if not otherwise evident. The amendments also improve the comparability and effectiveness of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with SEC Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application—General Notes to Financial Statements: Income Tax Expense, and (2) removing disclosures that are no longer considered relevant or cost beneficial.	January 1, 2025	Under evaluation
ASU 2024-02 Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements.	The amendments remove references to various Concepts Statements that were either (i) extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance, or (ii) used in prior statements to provide guidance in certain topics.	January 1, 2025	Under evaluation

The FASB have issued further updates not included above as we do not believe that these are applicable to the Company

Note 4 - Segment

Our chief operating decision maker, or the CODM, being our Board of Directors, measures performance based on our overall return to shareholders based on consolidated net income. The CODM does not review a measure of operating result at a lower level than the consolidated Group and we only have one reportable segment.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

Bermuda

Himalaya Shipping Ltd. is incorporated in Bermuda. Under current Bermuda law, the Company is not required to pay taxes in Bermuda on either income or capital gains. Himalaya Shipping Ltd. has received written assurance from the Minister of Finance in Bermuda that, in the event of any such taxes being imposed, the Company will be exempted from taxation until March 31, 2035.

19

Himalaya Shipping Ltd.

Condensed Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act (the “CIT Act”). Entities subject to tax under the CIT Act are the Bermuda constituent entities of multi-national groups. A multi-national group is defined under the CIT Act as a group with entities in more than one jurisdiction with consolidated revenues of at least €750 million for two out of the last four fiscal years. If Bermuda constituent entities of a multi-national group are subject to tax under the CIT Act, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, Bermuda will impose a 15% corporate income tax, as determined in accordance with and subject to the adjustments set out in the CIT Act (including in respect of foreign tax credits applicable to the Bermuda constituent entities).

While we have a tax-exempt status in Bermuda until March 31, 2035, Bermuda specifically provided that the CIT Act applies notwithstanding any assurance given pursuant to the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 (the “EUTP Act”). Based on a number of operational, economic and regulatory assumptions, we do not expect to have consolidated revenue sufficient for us to fall within scope of the CIT Act in the near future. We will monitor the developments on the Bermuda internal regulations with regards to the CIT Act implementation. To the extent our consolidated revenue is sufficient for us to be within the CIT Act thresholds, we may be subject to taxation in Bermuda.

Liberia

The vessel owning companies are not subject to tax on international shipping income.

United Kingdom

Taxable income in the United Kingdom is generated by our UK subsidiary. The statutory tax rate in the United Kingdom as of June 30, 2024 was 25%.

Note 6 - Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive impact of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments which are 735,000 share options outstanding as at June 30, 2024 is shown as follows:

(in $ thousands except share and per share data)	Three months ended June 30, 2024	Three months ended June 30, 2023	Six months ended June 30, 2024	Six months ended June 30, 2023
Basic earnings (loss) per share	0.16	(0.03)	0.21	(0.03)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	0.16	(0.03)	0.21	(0.03)
Net income (loss)	6,863	(1,115)	9,355	(1,138)
Issued common shares at the end of the period	43,900,000	40,782,857	43,900,000	40,782,857
Weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period, basic	43,900,000	40,123,516	43,900,000	36,160,205
Dilutive impact of share options	17,309	—	8,654	—
Weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period, diluted	43,917,309	40,123,516	43,908,654	36,160,205

Diluted EPS excludes the potential effect of the assumed conversion of 620,000 share options outstanding as at June 30, 2023 as these were anti-dilutive.

In February 2022, the Company entered into sale and leaseback arrangements with AVIC for the first four newbuildings “Mount Norefjell”, “Mount Ita”, “Mount Etna”, and “Mount Blanc” which have been delivered from New Times Shipyard. Pursuant to the lease financing, Himalaya Shipping received pre-delivery financing at a fixed interest rate of 5% per annum for the third and fourth pre-delivery installments ($6.8 million paid for each of the third and fourth installments). As security for the pre-delivery financing, the Company entered into an agreement to assign in favor of AVIC the first four newbuilding contracts and the related refund guarantees, as well as a parent company guarantee from the Company, share pledges over the related subsidiaries, and account pledges over the related subsidiaries’ bank accounts. Upon delivery of the relevant vessels from New Times Shipyard, the vessels were sold to companies owned and designated by AVIC. The vessels were delivered in 2023 and chartered back on seven-year bareboat charters which include purchase options each year from year 3 until the end of the bareboat period. The first purchase option in year 3 is at a price of $56.9 million and then declines to $47.2 million after year 7.

In February 2023, the sale and leaseback agreements for the first four newbuildings were amended whereby AVIC agreed to finance 90% of the sixth installments on the newbuilding contracts or $2.2 million for each vessel relating to the cost of installing scrubbers on each vessel. This is repayable in advance in 12 quarterly installments of $180,000 for each vessel, together with interest calculated as: a) LIBOR plus a margin of 4.5% for the period until June 30, 2023; and b) Overnight SOFR plus a margin of 4.5% and credit adjustment spread of 0.26161% from July 1, 2023.

Under the relevant financing agreements, payment of dividends or making of other distributions from each relevant subsidiary to the Company will only be allowed if immediately following such payment or distribution there will be maintained in the bank account an amount no less than the higher of (a) $3.6 million and (b) the aggregate of the bareboat rate under the facility and the operating expenses for the vessel that are payable within the next six months.

The fixed price purchase options and a cash penalty of $25.0 million per vessel for not exercising any of the purchase options under the sale and leaseback transaction results in a failed sale and leaseback and the transaction is accounted for as a financing transaction.

In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has drawn $200.0 million on the financing to pay scheduled delivery installments for the first four newbuildings. The carrying value of Vessels and equipment financed by AVIC is $277.2 million as of June 30, 2024.

As security for the pre-delivery financing, the Company entered into an agreement to assign in favor of CCBFL the relevant newbuilding contracts and the related refund guarantees, as well as a parent company guarantee from the Company, share pledges over the related subsidiaries, and account pledges over the related subsidiaries’ bank accounts. Upon delivery of the relevant vessels from New Times Shipyard, the vessels were sold to companies owned and designated by CCBFL. The financing amount for each of the vessels is the lower of 90% of the newbuilding contract price and $63.0 million.

Note 14 - Financial Instruments

We recognize our fair value estimates using a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on reliability of inputs used to determine fair values as follows:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

		June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
(in $ thousands)	Hierarchy	Fair Value	Carrying Value	Fair Value	Carrying Value
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents (1)	Level 1	21,946	21,946	25,553	25,553
Liabilities
Current portion of long-term debt (2)(3)	Level 2	26,119	26,119	21,234	21,234
Long-term debt (2)(3)	Level 2	715,151	714,673	429,037	432,374

(1) All demand and time deposits and highly liquid, low risk investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered equivalent to cash. Thus, carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

(2) Fair value of current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt have been corroborated using discounted cash flow model and market interest rate as of June 30, 2024.

(3) Our debt obligations are recorded at amortized cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts presented in the table are gross of deferred finance charges amounting to $15.3 million and $14.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, funding to vessel managers, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 because of their near term maturity and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

There have been no transfers between different levels in the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

The Company has entered into a corporate support agreement with Magni whereby Magni is compensated for its services to the Group since the inception of the Company, and for its key role in identifying and pursuing business opportunities for the Group (the “Corporate Support Agreement”). As Magni indirectly held a controlling interest at the time the Corporate Support Agreement was entered into, the Company has treated the Corporate Support Agreement as a related party agreement. Pursuant to the Corporate Support Agreement, Magni continued to support the Company’s business development through assisting with the pre-financing and post-financing of the Company’s newbuilding program, in finding employment for the vessels, in recruiting suitable individuals to the Company’s organization and with general high-level administrative support. The parties agreed in 2021 that compensation in the amount of $2.7 million which was to be paid by the Company to Magni in four equal tranches.

The tranches were split equally on each of the first four newbuildings delivered from New Times Shipyard in 2023, so that $0.674 million was payable on each such delivery. Such amount equals the address commission received on the first four vessels, which was agreed with the yard before the project opened to external investors.
