Summary of Second Quarter 2026 and Other Recent Significant Events
- Below is a summary of the average daily Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) revenue (see Non-IFRS Measures section below) and duration of contracted voyages and time charters for the Company’s vessels (both in the pools and outside of the pools) thus far in the third quarter of 2026 as of the date hereof (See footnotes to “Other operating data” table below for the definition of daily TCE revenue):
| Pool and Spot Market | Time Charters Out of the Pool | Bareboat Charter Out of the Pool | |||||||||||||
| Average Daily TCE Revenue | Expected Revenue Days (1) | % of Days | Average Daily TCE Revenue | Expected Revenue Days (1) | Average Daily Revenue | Expected Revenue Days (1) | % of Days | ||||||||

(1) Expected Revenue Days are the total number of calendar days in the quarter for each vessel, less the total number of estimated off-hire days during the period associated with repairs or drydockings. Consequently, Expected Revenue Days represent the total number of days the vessel is expected to be available to earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when a vessel is available to earn revenue, yet is not employed, are included in Expected Revenue days. The Company uses Expected Revenue days to show changes in net vessel revenues between periods.
- Below is a summary of the average daily TCE revenue earned by the Company’s vessels during the second quarter of 2026:

Diluted Weighted Number of Shares
The computation of earnings per share is determined by taking into consideration the potentially dilutive shares arising from (i) the Company’s equity incentive plan, and (ii) the Company’s Convertible Notes. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share to the extent they are anti-dilutive.
The impact of the Convertible Notes on earnings or loss per share is computed using the if-converted method. Under this method, the Company first includes the potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan, and then assumes that its Convertible Notes, which were issued during the second quarter of 2026, were converted into common shares during each period. The if-converted method also assumes that the interest and non-cash amortization expense associated with these notes of $7.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were not incurred. Conversion is not assumed if the results of this calculation are anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s basic weighted average number of shares outstanding were 45,730,028 and 46,457,406, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding were 53,539,590 and 51,928,585, respectively, which included the potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan and shares arising from the Company’s Convertible Notes if converted.
Diluted earnings per share for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were calculated under the if-converted method.
