Financials – Income Statement Q3 2016 & Q3 2015

7

- Revenue decreased by c. 4% in spite of the net addition of one vessel. Decrease in

revenues is attributed to poor freight rates, weak seasonal demand and one of our

product tankers switching to bareboat from time in the second half of Q3 16’.

- 22% decrease in Voyage Costs mainly driven by higher time charter days and lower

utilization in the spot market.

- Running costs up by 9%, primarily as a result of :

- net addition of one vessel

- two vessels coming off bareboat

- EBITDA in the order of $ 11.2 mm mainly as a result of:

- Low market rates that led to lower than anticipated revenues

- Weak spot market mostly due to seasonal factors.

- High drydocking costs as three vessels were drydocked during this quarter.

Key Comments

(Note: * Assuming no BB charters)

*

*

*

- Operational utilization at 88.1% an outcome of the weak

seasonal demand and increased idle time for our spot fleet.

- Adjusted Time charter equivalent is lower by c. 7.5% in Q3 16’

compared to Q3 15’, reflecting the declining trend of market

rates.

- Daily operational expenses marked a decrease of 2%

- Almost 32% decrease in Daily G&A as a result of cost

management and lower equity stock compensation costs

Financials – Break Even and Fleet Analysis

10

❷ Financials

• Average TCE follows the trend of the market. As evident from

the table below that presents the average TCE decline of our

segment against rates in the beginning of 2015, rates are lower

by approximately 13.0%.

• As a general trend, our breakeven has more or less stabilized in

the past quarters at satisfactory levels.

• However the soft market has considerably reduced our average

TCE.

Daily Breakeven Analysis ($)

Fleet Contribution Analysis

• Indeed period charter contracts remain our strongest revenue

stream even during poor market conditions.

• The weak spot market is reflected in the low contribution to

our net revenues.
