Key information and management commentary
| · | The Company paid an amount of approximately $35.4 million or
$1.1 per share in August 2024 as a dividend classified as a return of paid-in capital. |
| · | TCE revenue in Q3 2024 decreased by 13%, compared to Q3 2023,
due to a corresponding decrease in TCE rates. |
| · | Voyage expenses for Q3 2024 of $32.0 million, up from $28.4
million in Q3 2023. The 13% increase is attributable to the higher spot exposure and bunker fuel consumption. |
| · | Interest and finance costs for Q3 2024 of $14.2 million, down
from $15.6 million in Q3 2023. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in average indebtedness. Total indebtedness as of September 30,
2024, was $657.3 million, a 7% decrease compared to the prior year. |
| · | The Company recorded a profit of $14.5 million in Q3 2024, compared
to a profit of $19.4 million in Q3 2023. The decrease derives mainly from the lower revenues generated from operations. |
Fleet

fleet was comprised of the following 14 vessels with an average age of 5 years and aggregate capacity of approximately 3.5 million deadweight
tons:

USE AND RECONCILIATION OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE
MEASURES
The Group evaluates its vessels’ operations
and financial results principally by assessing their revenue generation (and not by the type of vessel, employment, customer, or type
of charter). Among others, Daily TCE rate, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Daily Opex, Adjusted Profit/(loss) and Adjusted Earnings/(loss) per
share are used as key performance indicators.
Daily TCE
The Daily Time Charter Equivalent Rate (“TCE
rate”) is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. The TCE rate is not a measure of revenue under generally
accepted accounting principles (i.e., it is a non-GAAP measure) or IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to any measure
of revenue and financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS. We calculate the TCE rate by dividing revenues (time charter
and/or voyage charter revenues), less commission and voyage expenses, by the number of operating days (calendar days less scheduled and
unscheduled aggregate technical off-hire days less off-hire days due to unforeseen circumstances) during that period. Our calculation
of the TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. We define calendar days as the total number of days the vessels
were in our possession for the relevant period. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of our fleet during the relevant period and
affect the amount of expenses that we record during that period. We define operating days as the number of calendar days in a period
less any scheduled or unscheduled days that our vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen technical and commercial circumstances. We and
other companies in the shipping industry use operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period that our vessels generate
revenues. The period a vessel is not being chartered or is unable to perform the services for which it is required under a charter is
“off-hire”.
We use the TCE rate because it provides a means
of comparison between different types of vessel employment and, therefore, assists our decision-making process with regards to the operation
and use of our vessels. We believe the TCE rate provides additional meaningful information to our investors, constituting a comparison
to Revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP and IFRS measure, that also enables our management to evaluate the performance and deployment
of our fleet.
The following table sets forth our computation
of TCE rates, including a reconciliation of revenues to the TCE rates (unaudited) for the periods presented:

Daily Opex
Daily Opex per vessel is an alternative performance
measure that provides meaningful information to our management with regards to our vessels’ efficiency and deployment. Daily Opex
is not a measure under generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., it is a non-GAAP measure) or IFRS and should not be considered
as an alternative to any measure of expenses and financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Our reconciliation of daily
Opex, including management fees, may deviate from that reported by other companies. We believe Daily Opex provides additional meaningful
information in conjunction with Vessel operating expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP and IFRS measure, because it provides meaningful
information to our investors in evaluating our financial performance.
Daily Opex is calculated as vessel operating
expenses and technical management fees divided by calendar days, for the relevant periods.

of daily Opex (unaudited) for the periods presented:

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and
Adjusted Earnings per share
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) is an alternative performance measure, derived directly from the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income by adding back to profit/(loss) depreciation, amortization, interest and finance costs and subtracting interest income. Adjusted
EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before non-recurring items, unrealized losses/(gains) on derivatives, realized losses/(gains) on derivatives,
foreign exchange (gains)/losses, and (gain)/loss from loan modifications. Adjusted profit/(loss) is defined as reported profit/(loss)
before non-recurring items, unrealized losses/(gains) on derivatives, impairment loss, loan modification gain/(loss) and gain/(loss)
on disposal of vessels. Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share is defined as adjusted profit/(loss) divided by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding in the period.
Furthermore, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
profit/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share have certain limitations in use and should not be considered alternatives to reported
profit/(loss), operating profit, cash flows from operations, earnings per share or any other GAAP or IFRS measure of financial performance.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted profit/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share exclude some, but not all, items that affect profit/(loss).
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and
Adjusted Earnings per share are not measures of revenues under generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., they are non-GAAP measures)
or IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of revenue and financial performance presented in accordance with
IFRS. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Earnings per share are used as supplemental financial measures by management
and external users of financial statements to assess our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit
and Adjusted Earnings per share assist our management and our investors by providing useful information that increases the comparability
of our operating performance from period to period and against our previous performance and the operating performance of other companies
in our industry that provide relevant information. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Earnings provide
additional meaningful information in conjunction with revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP and IFRS measure, because they provide
meaningful information in evaluating our financial performance.
Our method of computing EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted profit/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies
and, therefore, might not be comparable with other companies.

Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking
statements”, including as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements provide the Company’s current
expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about the Company’s expectations, beliefs,
plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts or that are not present facts or conditions.
Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“hope,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,”
“project,” “should,” “will” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases,
may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. The Company’s
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including as described
in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, you should not
unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this communication. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the Company’s operating or financial results; the Company’s
liquidity, including its ability to service its indebtedness; competitive factors in the market in which the Company operates; shipping
industry trends, including charter rates, vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand; future, pending or recent acquisitions
and dispositions, business strategy, areas of possible expansion or contraction, and expected capital spending or operating expenses;
risks associated with operations; broader market impacts arising from war (or threatened war) or international hostilities; risks associated
with pandemics (including COVID-19), including effects on demand for oil and other products transported by tankers and the transportation
thereof; and other factors listed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Except to the extent required by law,
the Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements
contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions,
or circumstances on which any statement is based. You should, however, review the factors and risks the Company describes in the reports
it files and furnishes from time to time with the SEC, which can be obtained free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
