CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under these sections. These statements may include words such as “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and observations with respect to future events and financial performance.

Where we express an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by those forward-looking statements. The principal factors that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows include ~~charter~~ market freight rates, which ~~could decline from historic highs,~~fluctuate based on various economic and market conditions, periods of charter hire, vessel operating expenses and voyage costs, which are incurred primarily in U.S. dollars, depreciation expenses, which are a function of the ~~cost~~purchase price of our vessels ~~significant vessel improvement costs~~ and our ~~vessels'~~vessels’ estimated useful lives and scrap value, general and administrative expenses, and financing costs related to our indebtedness. ~~Our~~The accuracy of the Company’s assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual ~~results may differ materially from those anticipated in these~~experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors which could include the following: (i) changes in demand in the drybulk market, including, without limitation, changes in production of, or demand for, commodities and bulk cargoes, generally or in particular regions; (ii) greater than anticipated levels of drybulk vessel newbuilding orders or lower than anticipated rates of drybulk vessel scrapping; (iii) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the drybulk industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international bodies or organizations such as the International Maritime Organization and the European Union (the “EU”) or by individual countries; (iv) actions taken by regulatory authorities, including, without limitation, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”); (v) changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall drybulk tonnage requirements; (vi) changes in the typical seasonal variations in drybulk charter rates; (vii) changes in the cost of other modes of bulk commodity transportation; (viii) changes in general domestic and international political conditions, including the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which may impact our ability to retain and source crew, and in turn, could adversely affect our revenue, expenses, and profitability; (ix) changes in the condition of the Company's vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking costs); (x) significant deterioration in charter hire rates from current levels or the inability of the Company to achieve its cost-cutting measures; (xi) the duration and impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, including the availability and effectiveness of vaccines on a widespread basis and the impact of any mutations of the virus; (xii) the relative cost and availability of low and high sulfur fuel oil; (xiii) our ability to realize the economic benefits or recover the cost of the scrubbers we have installed; (xiv) any legal proceedings which we may be involved from time to time; and other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This discussion also includes statistical data regarding world drybulk fleet and order book and fleet age. We generated some of this data internally, and some were obtained from independent industry publications and reports that we believewill prove to be ~~reliable sources. We have~~correct, does not ~~independently verified this data nor sought the consent of~~undertake any ~~organizations~~duty to ~~refer to their reports in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim~~update them and disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors which could include the following: (i) volatility of freight rates driven by changes in demand for seaborne transportation of drybulk commodities and in supply of drybulk shipping capacity; (ii) changes in drybulk carrier capacity driven by levels of newbuilding orders, scrapping rates or fleet utilization; (iii) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the drybulk industry, including, without limitation, regulations of the International Maritime Organization and the European Union (the “EU”), requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency and other governmental and quasi-governmental agencies; (iv) changes in U.S., United Kingdom, United Nations and EU economic sanctions and trade embargo laws and regulations as well as equivalent economic sanctions laws of other relevant jurisdictions; (v) actions taken by regulatory authorities including, without limitation, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”); (vi) changes in the typical seasonal variations in drybulk freight rates; (vii) changes in national and international economic and political conditions including, without limitation, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the current economic and political environment in China and the environment in historically high-risk geographic areas such as the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Guinea and the Gulf of Aden; (viii) changes in the condition of the Company’s vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking costs); (ix) the duration and impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and measures implemented by governments of various countries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; (x) volatility of the cost of fuel; (xi) volatility of costs of labor and materials needed to operate our business due to inflation; (xii) any legal proceedings which we may be involved from time to time; and (xiii) other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

We have based these statements on assumptions and analyses formed by applying our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. The Company’s future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Risks and uncertainties are further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed within the SEC on March 10, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).

EAGLE BULK SHIPPING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or similar terms). All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars and are presented in thousands, on a rounded basis, using actual amounts, except for per share amounts and unless otherwise noted. Minor differences in totals or percentages may exist due to rounding.

The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership, charter and operation of drybulk vessels. The Company’s fleet is comprised of Supramax and Ultramax drybulk carriers, and the Company operates its business in 1one business segment.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company owned and operated a modern fleet of 53 ~~oceangoing~~ocean-going vessels, including 2725 Supramax and 2628 Ultramax vessels with a combined carrying capacity of ~~3.19~~3.21 million deadweight tons ~~("dwt"~~(“dwt”) and an average age of approximately ~~9.5~~10.4 years. Additionally, the Company ~~charters-in 4~~chartered-in five Ultramax vessels on a ~~long term~~long-term basis, with remaining lease ~~term of approximately one year each and~~terms ranging from five months to 13 months. The Company also charters-in third-party vessels on a ~~short term basis for a period less than one year.~~short-term basis.

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ the ~~Company’s~~Company had no charterers ~~did not~~which individually ~~account~~accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s gross charter ~~revenue during those periods.~~revenue.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and ~~footnotes~~notes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s ~~2021~~2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March ~~14, 2022~~10, 2023 (the ~~"Form 10-K"~~“Annual Report”).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

In March 2021, the Company entered into an at market issuance sales agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC and Fearnley Securities, Inc., as sales agents (each, a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”), to sell shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million, from time to time through an “at-the-market” offering program (the “ATM Offering”). During the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold and issued an aggregate of 581,385 shares at a weighted average sales price of $47.97 per share under the ATM Offering for aggregate net proceeds of $27.1 million after deducting sales agent commissions and other offering costs. The proceeds were used for partial financing of vessel acquisitions and other corporate purposes.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. ~~Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant~~Significant estimates include fair values of long-lived assets (primarily vessels and ~~assumptions~~operating lease right-of-use assets), impairment of ~~the Company are residual value of~~long-lived assets (primarily vessels ~~the useful lives of vessels, the value of~~and operating lease right-of-use assets), stock-based compensation ~~estimated losses on our trade receivables, fair value of~~and financial instruments (primarily derivative instruments and Convertible Bond Debt (as defined ~~below)~~herein)), residual values of vessels, useful lives of vessels and ~~its equity component, fair value of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and the fair value of derivatives.~~estimated losses on accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. ~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements~~

Significant Accounting Policies

and Pronouncements

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the ~~Notes~~notes to the ~~Consolidated Financial Statements~~consolidated financial statements included in the ~~Form 10-K.~~Annual Report. Included herein are certain updates to those policies.

Vessels and Vessel Improvements, At Cost

Vessels are stated at cost, which consists of the contract price, and other direct costs relating to acquiring and placing the vessels in service. Major vessel improvements, such as scrubbers and ballast water treatment systems (“BWTS”), are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the vessels. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the vessels based on the cost of the vessels reduced by the estimated scrap value of the vessels as discussed below. The Company estimates the useful life of the Company's vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard to the original owner.

F-6

Effective January 1, 2023, we increased our estimated vessel scrap value from $300 per light weight ton (“lwt”) to $400 per lwt. This change was driven by increases in 15-year average scrap price trends sourced from a third-party data provider as well as similar increases by certain of our industry peer companies. The change in the estimated scrap value will result in a decrease in depreciation expense over the remaining life of our vessel assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net income increased by $1.0 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share as a result of the change in this estimate. We expect depreciation to decrease by approximately $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 solely as a result of the prospective change in this estimate.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~August~~March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~("FASB"~~(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ~~("ASU"~~(“ASU”) ~~2020-06,~~ ~~Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity~~, (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adopting the ASU's guidance, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, the entity will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815, ~~Derivatives and Hedging~~, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 under the modified retrospective approach. The Convertible Bond Debt (defined below) will no longer require bifurcation and separate accounting of the equity component. The resulting debt discount will no longer be amortized to interest expense over the life of the bond and thus an adjustment to beginning retained earnings of $8.7 million was recorded within Accumulated deficit reflecting the cumulative impact of adoption. Additionally, a $20.7 million reduction to Additional paid-in capital was recorded to reverse the equity component and an offsetting $12.0 million was recorded within Long-term debt as a reversal of the debt discount.

~~Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective~~

The FASB has issued accounting standards that had not yet become effective as of March 31, 2022 and may impact the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures in future periods. Those standards and their potential impact are discussed below:

~~In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU~~ 2020-04, ~~Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848):~~ Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 ~~addresses concerns about certain accounting consequences that could result from the anticipated transition away from the use of LIBOR~~provides optional expedients and ~~other interbank offered rates~~exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to ~~alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies “to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have~~ contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.” ASU 2020-04 establishes (1) a general contract modification principle that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and (2) certain elective hedge accounting expedients. ASU 2020-04 is optional and effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, ~~2022.~~2024 (as extended by ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848). In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848):, Scope~~, ("~~ (“ASU ~~2021-01"~~2021-01”), which clarifies certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, to apply to derivative instruments that use interest ~~rate~~rates for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate ~~reference reform~~reform. The Company ~~is currently evaluating~~has not yet modified any contracts under the ~~adoption~~expedients or exceptions allowed by ASU 2020-04 or ASU 2021-01. If and when a contract modification within the scope of ASU 2020-04 occurs, it is not expected to have a material impact on its debt under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility (as defined below) as it bears interest on outstanding borrowings at LIBOR plus a margin rate. Additionally, the Company is also evaluating the adoption of ASU 2021-01 on its interest rate swaps related to the Global Ultraco Debt Facility.

Convertible Bond Debt

On July 29, 2019, the Company issued $114.1 million in aggregate principal amount of ~~5.00%~~5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Bond Debt”). After deducting debt discount of $1.6 million, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $112.5 million. Additionally, the Company incurred $1.0 million of debt issuance costs relating to this transaction. The Company used the proceeds to partially finance the purchase of 6six Ultramax vessels and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

The Convertible Bond Debt bears interest at a rate of ~~5.00%~~5.0% per annum on the outstanding principal amount thereof, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, ~~commencing~~which commenced on February 1, 2020. The Convertible Bond Debt may bear additional interest upon certain events, as set forth in the indenture governing the Convertible Bond Debt (the ~~"Indenture"~~“Indenture”).

The Convertible Bond Debt will mature on August 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted pursuant to its terms. From time to time, the Company may, subject to market conditions and other factors and to the extent permitted by law, opportunistically repurchase the Convertible Bond Debt in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company may not otherwise redeem the Convertible Bond Debt prior to the Maturity Date.

Each holder has the right to convert any portion of the Convertible Bond Debt, provided such portion is of $1,000 or a multiple thereof, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The conversion rate of the Convertible Bond Debt after adjusting for a 1-for-7 reverse stock split effected on September 15, 2020 (the ~~"Reverse~~“Reverse Stock ~~Split"~~Split”) and the Company's ~~payments of~~ cash dividends ~~of $2.00 per share and $2.05 per share on November 24, 2021 (to shareholders of record as of November 15, 2021) and on~~declared through March ~~25, 2022 (to shareholders of record as of March 15, 2022), respectively,~~31, 2023 is ~~27.606~~31.0670 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Bond Debt, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately ~~$36.22~~$32.19 per share of ~~its~~ common stock (subject to further adjustments for future dividends).

Upon conversion of the remaining bonds, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, either cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election, to the holder (subject to shareholder approval requirements in accordance with the listing standards of the ~~Nasdaq Global Select Market)~~New York Stock Exchange).

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, as set forth in the Indenture, each holder may require the Company to repurchase all or part of their Convertible Bond Debt for cash in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple thereof. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Bond Debt to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If, however, the holders instead elect to convert their Convertible Bond Debt in

~~F-8~~

connection with the fundamental change, the Company will be required to increase the conversion rate of the Convertible Bond Debt at a rate determined by a combination of the date the fundamental change occurs and the stock price of the Company's common stock on such date.

F-8

The Convertible Bond Debt is ~~the~~a general, unsecured senior ~~obligations~~obligation of the Company. It ranks: (i) senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Bond Debt; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities of current or future subsidiaries of the Company.

The Indenture also provides for customary events of default. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Bond Debt then outstanding may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Convertible Bond Debt then outstanding to be due and payable.

The guidance required the initial proceeds received from the sale of convertible debt instruments to be allocated between a liability component and equity component in a manner that reflected the interest expense at the interest rate of similar non-convertible debt that could have been issued by the Company at the time of issuance. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company accounted formodified retrospective approach, the Convertible Bond Debt ~~based on the above guidance~~no longer required bifurcation and ~~attributed~~separate accounting of its conversion feature that was previously separately accounted for as an equity component.

Share Lending Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Bond Debt, certain persons entered into an arrangement (the ~~"Share~~“Share Lending ~~Agreement"~~Agreement”) to borrow up to 511,840 shares of the Company’s common stock through share lending arrangements from Jefferies LLC (“JCS”), an initial purchaser of the Convertible Bond ~~Debt, which in turn~~Debt. In connection with the foregoing, the Company entered into an ~~arrangement~~agreement with an affiliate of JCS to ~~borrow the~~lend up to 511,840 newly issued shares ~~from an entity affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, LP, one~~ of the Company’s ~~shareholders.~~common stock. The number of shares loaned under the Share Lending Agreement have been adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the fair value of the 511,840 outstanding loaned shares was ~~$34.9~~$23.3 million based on the closing price of the common stock on March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. In connection with the Share Lending Agreement, JCS paid $0.03 million representing a nominal fee per borrowed share, equal to the par value of the Company’s common stock.

While the Share Lending Agreement does not require cash payment upon return of the shares, physical settlement is required (i.e., the loaned shares must be returned at the end of the arrangement). In view of this share return provision and other contractual undertakings of JCS in the ~~share lending agreement,~~Share Lending Agreement, which have the effect of substantially eliminating the economic dilution that otherwise would result from the issuance of borrowed shares, the loaned shares are not considered issued and outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting the Company's basic and diluted weighted average shares or ~~earnings~~net income per share. If JCS were to file bankruptcy or commence similar administrative, liquidating or restructuring proceedings, the Company will have to consider 511,840 shares lent to JCS as issued and outstanding for the purposes of calculating ~~earnings~~net income per share.

~~Interest rate swaps~~

~~During October 2021, the~~The Company ~~entered into 4~~uses interest rate swaps ~~for the notional amount of $300.0 million of the Term Facility under the Credit Agreement for the Global Ultraco Debt Facility at a fixed~~to manage its exposure to interest rate ~~ranging between 0.83% and 1.06% to hedge the LIBOR-based floating interest rate.~~

~~During 2020,~~risk on its debt. Generally, the Company ~~entered~~enters into ~~a series of~~ interest rate ~~swap agreements to~~swaps with the objective of effectively ~~convert a portion of its~~converting debt ~~under the New Ultraco Debt Facility, excluding any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility as well as any new term loan borrowings~~ from a ~~floating~~floating-rate to a fixed-rate ~~basis. In August 2021,~~obligation. As of March 31, 2023, the Company cancelled the New Ultraco Debt Facility interest rate swaps. Concurrent with the cancellation, the Company entered into another interest rate swap which was subsequently cancelled on October 1, 2021 upon repayment of the New Ultraco Debt Facility.

~~The~~Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps were designated as hedging instruments and qualified as cash flow hedges. The Company uses interest rate swaps for the management of interest rate risk exposure, as an interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of the Company’s debt from a floating to a fixed rate. The interest rate swap is an agreement between the Company and counterparties to pay, in the future, a fixed-rate payment in exchange for the counterparties paying the Company a variable payment. The amount of the net payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the interest rate swap and the prevailing market interest rates. The Company may terminate the interest rate swaps prior to their expiration dates, at which point a realized gain or loss may be recognized, or may be amortized over the original life of the interest rate swap if the hedged debt remains outstanding. The value of the Company’s commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the extent to which interest rates move against the rate fixed for each swap.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash—~~the carrying amounts~~Carrying values reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets ~~for interest-bearing deposits~~ approximate ~~their~~ fair value due to ~~the~~their highly liquid and short-term ~~nature thereof.~~nature.

Collateral on derivatives—Carrying values reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Derivative assets and liabilities—The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities, which include interest rate swaps, FFAs and bunker swaps, are estimated using observable inputs for similar instruments as of the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact.

Long-term Debt—~~the carrying values approximates~~The fair ~~values for bonds issued under the~~value of Convertible Bond Debt, which is traded in the over-the-counter market, is estimated based on ~~NASDAQ.~~quoted prices in markets that are not active on identical instruments. The carrying amount of ~~our term loan borrowing~~the Term Facility under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility approximates its fair value, due to its variable interest rates.

The carrying values of other financial assets and liabilities (primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses) approximate their fair value due to their relative short-term nature.

The Company defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ~~Our Level 1 non-derivatives include cash, money-market accounts, restricted cash accounts and collateral on derivatives.~~

•

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, ~~or inputs~~quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are observable. Our Level 2 non-derivatives include our debt balances under the Convertible Bond Debt and the Global Ultraco Debt Facility. Freight forward agreements, bunker swaps and interest rate swaps are considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company, using the income approach to value the derivatives, usesnot active or other observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. See Note 5, Derivative Instruments.inputs.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and may become involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its ~~business.~~business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Generally, we expect that such claims would be covered by insurance, subject to customary deductibles. The Company evaluates these legal matters on a case-by-case basis to make a determination as to the impact, if any, on its business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Certain routine commercial claims have been asserted against the Company that relate to contractual disputes with certain of our charterers. The nature of these disputes involve disagreements over losses claimed by charterers during or as a result of the performance of certain voyage charters, including but not limited to delays in the performance of the charters and off-hire during the charters. The related legal proceedings are at various stages of resolution.

In March 2021, the U.S. government began investigating an allegation that one of the ~~Company's~~Company’s vessels may have improperly disposed of ballast water that entered the engine room bilges during a repair. The investigation of this alleged violation of environmental laws is ongoing, and although at this time we do not believe that this matter will have a material impact on the Company, our financial condition or results of operations, we cannot determine what penalties, if any, will be imposed. We have posted a surety bond as security for any potential fines, penalties or associated costs that may be ~~issued,~~incurred, and the Company is cooperating fully with the U.S. government in its investigation of this matter. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred and recorded $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, as Other operating expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to this incident, which include legal fees, surety bond expenses, vessel off-hire, crew changes and travel costs.

~~Time charter-in contracts~~

~~The Company has time charter-in contracts for Ultramax vessels which are greater than 12 months as of the lease commencement date. A description of each of these contracts is below:~~

~~(i) The Company entered into an agreement effective April 28, 2017, to charter-in a 61,400 dwt, 2013 built Japanese vessel for approximately four years with options for~~ ~~two~~ additional years. The hire rate for the first four years is $12,800 per day and the hire rate for the first optional year is $13,800 per day and $14,300 per day for the second optional year. In addition, the Company’s fair value below contract value of time charters acquired of $1.8 million as of December 31, 2018, which related to the unamortized value of a prior charter with the same counterparty that had been recorded at the time of the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy, was offset against the corresponding right of use asset on this lease as of January 1, 2019. On July 8, 2021, the Company exercised its option to extend the charter for another year at a hire rate of $13,800 per day. The Company has increased the lease liability and the corresponding right-of-use asset by $5.0 million to reflect the extended lease term in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021. The discount rate utilized in the measurement of lease liability and the corresponding right-of-use asset based on the Company's implied credit rating and the yield curve for debt as of July 8, 2021 was 1.36%.

(ii) On May 4, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to charter-in a 61,425 dwt 2013 built Ultramax vessel for three years with an option for an additional two years. The hire rate for the first three years is $12,700 per day and $13,750 per day for the first year option and $14,750 per day for the second year option. The Company took delivery of the vessel in the third quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company decided to extend the lease term to its maximum redelivery date allowed under the charter party. Additionally, on June 28, 2021, the Company exercised its option to extend the charter for another year until October 19, 2022 at a hire rate of $13,750 per day. The Company has increased the lease liability and the corresponding right-of-use asset by $5.8 million to reflect the extended lease term in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as

We have not been involved in any legal proceedings, other than as disclosed above, which we believe may have, or have had, a significant effect on our business, financial position, results of ~~September 30, 2021. The discount rate utilized~~operations or liquidity, nor are we aware of any proceedings that are pending or threatened, other than as described above, which we believe may have a significant effect on our business, financial position and results of operations or liquidity. However, these proceedings, even if lacking merit, could result in the ~~measurement~~expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

In accordance with US GAAP, the Company accrues for contingent liabilities when it is probable that such a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates its outstanding legal proceedings each quarter to assess its contingent liabilities and adjusts such liabilities, as appropriate, based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel. The Company incurred no costs associated with contingent liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and incurred $0.1 million in costs associated with contingent liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022. There is no assurance that the Company’s contingent liabilities will not need to be adjusted in the future.

Note 9. Revenue

Voyage charters

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or ~~"dead"~~“dead” freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a ~~"demurrage"~~“demurrage” or ~~"despatch"~~“despatch” clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any potential delays ~~that exceed~~exceeding the ~~agreed to~~allowed laytime at the ports visited ~~with the amounts~~which is recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime ~~which is~~ known as despatch, ~~and results~~resulting in a reduction ofin revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

The voyage contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue Recognition, because the Company, as the shipowner, retains the control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch. The amount of revenue earned as demurrage, ornet of despatch ~~paid by the Company~~incurred, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1.6 million and ~~2021 was~~ $11.7 million, ~~and $3.9 million,~~ respectively.

As discussed further below, on March 11, 2022, the Company granted performance-based RSUs to certain members of its senior management team under the 2016 Plan, which are contingent on certain performance criteria. The maximum number of performance-based RSUs that ~~can be earned is 52,982.~~

17,661 target performance-based RSUs were granted based on earnings per share ("EPS performance") for the performance period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022 (with targets set forthvested during the three months ended March 31, ~~2022). The RSUs will vest in~~ ~~three~~ substantially equal installments (subject to achievement of performance criteria as of December 31, 2022) with the first installment vesting upon certification by the Compensation Committee and the second and third installments on January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025, respectively. The total RSUs eligible to vest ranges from zero to 200% of the target number granted based on the EPS performance. The aggregate grant-date fair value of these RSUs is $1.2 million based on the closing2023 were net share ~~price of $65.88 on March 11, 2022 and assuming the target number is probable of vesting. The EPS performance is considered to be a performance condition under ASC 718,~~ ~~Share based payment awards,~~ and therefore, the stock-based compensation expense is initially recorded based on the probable outcome that the performance condition will be achieved as of the grant date with subsequent adjustments to the probable outcome over time. The ultimate expense recognized is based on the actual performance outcome at the end of the performance period. As of March 31, 2022, the Company estimated that the target (100%) will be met and recorded a de minimus amount of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in General and administrative expenses in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations forsettled. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2022.~~

~~8,830 performance-based RSUs~~2023, 30 thousand shares were granted based on relative total shareholder return ("TSR performance") for the performance period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022 (with targets set forth during the three months ended March 31, 2022). These market-based RSUs will vest in ~~three~~ ~~substantially equal installments (subject to achievement of performance criteria as of December 31, 2022) with the first installment vesting upon certification~~withheld by the ~~Compensation Committee~~Company and ~~the second and third installments on January 2, 2024 and January 2, 2025, respectively. The total RSUs eligible~~$1.7 million was paid to vest ranges from 0 to 200% of the target number granted based on the TSR performance. All the vested TSR performance units are subject to a 1-year holding period after vesting. The TSR performance is based on the Company's total shareholder return compared to 7 peer companies over the performance period. The TSR performance is calculated based on average daily closing stock price over a 20-trading-day period at each of the beginning and end of the performance period and is adjusted to reflect dividend payments by assuming additional shares are purchased with the dividend payments. The aggregate fair value of the TSR performance awards, which was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $0.7 million. The assumptions used in the model were risk-free rate of return of 1.05% based on continuously compounded yield on zero-coupon treasury rates as of March 11, 2022; expected volatility of 54.74% based on 1-year historical daily volatility of the closing share pricestaxing authorities for the Company; a dividend yield of 12.45%; and 11.41% discount applied for the 1-year holding period using the Finnerty model. Volatility for each of the peer companies as well as the correlation of returns between each of the companies was also determined as inputs into the Monte Carlo model. The Company recorded a de minimus amount of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in General and administrative expenses in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.employee tax obligations.

As of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021, stock awards, including RSUs, covering a total of 231,894 and 246,962 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, are~~2022, there were no vested or unvested options outstanding under the 2016 Plan.

Business Overview

Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) is a ~~U.S. based~~U.S.-based, fully integrated shipowner-operator, providing global transportation solutions to a diverse group of customers including miners, producers, traders and end users. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, with offices in Singapore and Copenhagen, ~~Eagle~~the Company focuses exclusively on the versatile ~~mid-size~~midsize drybulk vessel segment and owns one of the largest fleets of Supramax/Ultramax vessels in the world. The Company performs all management services in-house ~~such as strategic,~~(strategic, commercial, operational, technical, and ~~administrative services,~~administrative) and employs an active management approach to fleet trading with the objective of optimizing revenue performance and maximizing earnings on a risk-managed basis. Typical cargoes we transport include both major bulk cargoes, such as iron ore, coal and grain and minor bulk cargoes such as fertilizer, steel products, petcoke, cement, and forest products. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we owned and operated a modern fleet of 53 Supramax/Ultramax dry bulk vessels. WeIn addition, as of March 31, 2023, the Company chartered-in ~~four~~five Ultramax vessels ~~which have~~on a long-term basis (the average remaining lease term ~~of approximately~~for these vessels is less than one year, ~~each.~~excluding renewal options available to the Company).

Business Strategy

•

~~We believe our balance sheet allows us~~Focus on the ~~flexibility to opportunistically make investments in the~~most versatile drybulk vessel segment ~~that will drive shareholder growth. In order to accomplish this, we intend to:~~

•~~Maintain a highly efficient~~We focus on owning and ~~quality fleet in~~operating vessels within the ~~drybulk~~midsize Supramax/Ultramax segment.

•~~Maintain a revenue strategy that takes advantage of a rising rate environment and at the same time mitigate risk in a declining rate environment.~~

•~~Maintain a cost structure that allows us~~ We consider this vessel segment to be ~~competitive in all economic cycles without sacrificing safety or maintenance.~~

•~~Continue~~the most versatile amongst the various drybulk asset classes due to ~~grow our relationships with our charterers~~the optimal size and ~~vendors.~~

•~~Continue to invest in our on-shore operations and development~~specifications of ~~processes.~~

~~Our financial performance is based~~Supramax/Ultramax ships, which allows us to carry the most diversified cargo mix when compared to other sizes of drybulk carriers. With a size ranging from 50,000 to 65,000 dwt and a length of approximately 200 meters, Supramax/Ultramax vessels are able to accommodate large cargo quantities and call on the ~~following key elements~~majority of ~~our business strategy:~~

~~(1)Concentration in one vessel category:~~ports around the globe. In addition, these vessels are equipped with onboard cranes and grabs, giving them the ability to load and discharge cargoes without the need for shore-based port equipment/infrastructure. We believe the versatility and flexibility of Supramax/Ultramax ~~drybulk~~ vessels ~~which we believe offer certain size, operational and geographical advantages relative to other classes of drybulk vessels, such as Handysize, Panamax and Capesize vessels.~~provide for improved risk-adjusted returns throughout the cycles.

~~(2)~~•AnEmploy an active ~~owner-operator model where we seek to operate our own~~management strategy for fleet and develop contractual relationships directly with cargo interests. These relationships and the related cargo contracts have the dual benefit of providing greater operational efficiencies and act as a balance to the Company’s naturally long position to the market. Notwithstanding the focus on voyage chartering, we consistently monitor the drybulk shipping market and, based on market conditions, will consider taking advantage of long-term time charters at higher rates when appropriate.

~~(3)Maintain high quality vessels and improve standards of operation through improved standards and procedures, crew training and repair and maintenance procedures.~~trading

We ~~continuously evaluate potential transactions that we believe will be accretive to~~employ an active management strategy for fleet employment with the objective of optimizing revenue performance and maximizing earnings ~~enhance shareholder value or are~~on a risk-managed basis. Through the execution of various commercial strategies employed across our global trading desks in the ~~best interests of~~United States, Europe and Asia, the Company has been able to achieve optimal TCE (as defined herein) results and outperform the relevant market index on a consistent basis.

•Execute on fleet renewal and growth

Since 2016, and through the date of this Quarterly Report, we have executed on a comprehensive fleet renewal program totaling 58 vessel transactions. We have acquired 33 modern vessels and sold 25 of our oldest and least-efficient vessels. We believe these transactions have vastly improved our fleet makeup, enabling us to generate incremental revenue on a per ship basis; we have been able to maintain our fleet age profile at an optimized level, increase our cargo-carrying capacity per ship and improve our fleet emissions profile (as measured by fuel consumption per dwt).

•Perform technical management in-house

We perform all technical management services relating to vessel maintenance, vessel repairs and crewing.

•Implement a prudent approach to balance sheet management

We believe the long-term success of our Company is contingent on maintaining a prudent approach to balance sheet management, including ~~without limitation, business combinations,~~working capital optimization, diversifying capital sources, lowering cost of capital, limiting interest rate exposure and optimizing the ~~acquisition of vessels or related businesses, repayment or refinancing of existing~~ debt profile.

•Emphasize Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) factors

We published our first comprehensive ESG Sustainability Report in 2020. The document was prepared in accordance with the ~~issuance of new securities, share repurchases or other transactions.~~Marine Transportation Framework, established by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. Our reports are available for download on our company website.

Business Outlook

~~COVID-19~~

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) declared COVID-19, to be a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, widespread, rapidly evolving, and unpredictable impacts on global society, economies, financial markets, and business practices. Governments have implemented measures such as social distancing, mask and vaccine mandates, travel restrictions, COVID testing guidelines and quarantine regulations.

The gross BSI continued to increase in the first quarter of 2022 and averaged $25,156/day, up 51% as compared to the first quarter of 2021. Although rates were higher resulting in an improvement in profitability, some of our vessels experienced delays in drydocking as well as an increase in related drydocking costs as a result of protocols regarding COVID 19, as well as limitations in labor. We also experienced loss of revenues due to a number of off-hire days relating to crew changes and quarantine restrictions as a number of our crew members tested positive for COVID-19. Our vessel operating expenses specifically crew change costs, COVID testing and quarantine related costs continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19.

While the BSI is at $30,054 per day as of May 4, 2022, the economic activity levels as well as the demand for dry bulk cargoes may be negatively impacted by COVID-19. We have instituted measures to reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19 for our crew members on our vessels as well as our onshore offices in Stamford, Connecticut, Singapore, and Copenhagen. However, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy on a prolonged basis, or if the vaccine is not available on a widespread basis, the rate environment in the drybulk market and our vessel values may deteriorate and our operations and cash flows may be negatively impacted.

The impact of recent developments in Ukraine

~~In February 2022, as~~As a result of the ~~invasion of~~conflict between Russia and Ukraine, ~~by Russia, economic sanctions were imposed by~~ the ~~United States, the European Union, the~~U.S., EU and United Kingdom, ~~and a number of~~together with numerous other countries, have imposed significant sanctions on ~~Russian financial institutions, businesses~~persons and ~~individuals,~~entities associated with Russia and Belarus, as well as comprehensive sanctions on certain ~~regions~~areas within the Donbas region of ~~Ukraine.~~Ukraine, and such sanctions apply to entities owned or controlled by such designated persons or entities. This conflict has become a multi-year war and humanitarian crisis. While it is difficult to estimate the impact of this conflict and current or future sanctions on the Company’s business and financial position, these events and related sanctions could adversely impact the Company’s operations. In the near term, we have seen, and expect to continue to see, increased volatility in both Russian and Ukrainian exports in the Black Sea region, as well as Russian exports in the Baltic and Far East regions due to these geopolitical events. ~~The Black Sea region is a major export~~In addition, the volatility of market prices for grains with the Ukraine and Russia exporting a combined 15% of the global seaborne grain trade. While uncertainty remains with respect to the ultimate impact of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, we have seen, and anticipate continuing to see, significant changes in trade flows. A reduction or stoppage of grain out of the Black Sea or cargoes from Russiafuel has and will continue to, negatively impact the markets in those areas. At the same time, it is possible for us to see an increase in ton miles as end users find alternative sources for cargo.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine may also impact our ability to continue to source and retain crew ~~see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors"~~from these countries. In response to this risk, we have established and may expand relationships with manning agencies outside of Russia and Ukraine, including in Asia. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur increased operating expenses related to Russian and Ukrainian crew procurement, travel costs to repatriate Russian and Ukrainian crew members on board our ~~Form 10-K.~~

vessels and to expatriate crew members sourced from other regions. In response to this risk, the Company recruited one new third-party manning

~~Fleet Management~~agency during 2022 and another during 2023 in order to diversify our crew nationality exposure and increase our sourcing from the Philippines.

For more information regarding the risks relating to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including economic sanctions levied as a result of it, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Annual Report. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine may impact our ability to retain and source crew, and in turn, could materially and adversely affect our operating results.

~~The management of our fleet includes the following functions:~~

•~~Strategic management. We locate and obtain financing and insurance for the purchase and sale of vessels.~~

•~~Commercial management. We obtain employment for our vessels and manage our relationships with charterers.~~

•~~Technical management. We have established an in-house technical management function to perform day-to-day operations and maintenance of our vessels.~~

~~Commercial and Strategic Management~~Operations

We carry out the commercial, technical and strategic management of our fleet through our ~~indirectly~~ wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Bulk Management LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company, which maintains its principal executive offices in Stamford, Connecticut. We also ~~have~~maintain offices in ~~Singapore~~Copenhagen (Denmark) and ~~Copenhagen, Denmark,~~Singapore.

The two central aspects to the operation of our fleet include:

•Commercial operations, which involve chartering and operating a vessel; and

•Technical operations, which involve maintaining, crewing and repairing a vessel.

Each of the Company’s vessels serve the same type of customer, have similar operation and maintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment, and are subject to similar economic characteristics. Based on this, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment which is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk vessels.

Commercial Management

We perform the commercial management of our fleet, including obtaining employment for our vessels and maintaining relationships with the charterers of our vessels. We have three offices across the globe located in the U.S., Europe and Asia, which allows for 24-hour market coverage. We believe that due to our management team’s experience in operating drybulk vessels, we have access to a broad range of charterers and can employ our fleet efficiently in diverse market conditions allowing us to achieve high utilization rates.

Being an active owner-operator means effectively seeking to operate our own vessels when possible, as compared with time chartering them to other operators, all with a view toward achieving higher-than-market net charter hire income. In doing so, we believe we can take advantage of rapidly changing market conditions and obtain better operational efficiencies from our fleet.

Technical Management

We have established in-house technical management capabilities, through which we provide ~~round the clock~~technical management services to all vessels in our ~~owned and chartered-in~~ fleet. ~~We currently have 91 shore-based personnel, including our senior management team and our office staff, who either directly or through these subsidiaries, provide the following services:~~

•~~commercial operations and technical supervision;~~

•~~safety monitoring;~~

•~~vessel acquisition; and~~

•~~financial, accounting and information technology services.~~

~~Technical Management~~

Technical management includes managing day-to-day operation of the vessel ~~operations,~~and machinery; performing general ~~vessel maintenance,~~maintenance; ensuring regulatory and classification society ~~compliance,~~compliance; supervising the ~~maintenance and~~ general efficiency of ~~vessels,~~the vessel; arranging ~~our~~the hire of qualified officers and ~~crew,~~crew; planning, arranging and supervising drydocking and ~~repairs,~~repairs; purchasing supplies, spare parts, lubes and new ~~equipment for vessels,~~equipment; and appointing supervisors and technical ~~consultants, and providing technical support.~~consultants.

Value of Assets and Cash Requirements

The replacement costs of comparable new vessels may be above or below the book value of our fleet. The market value of our fleet may be below book value when market conditions are weak and exceed book value when markets ~~conditions~~ are strong. ~~Customary~~In common with ~~industry practice,~~other shipowners, we may consider asset redeployment which at times may include the sale of vessels at less than their book value. ~~The Company’s results of operations and cash flow may be significantly affected by future charter markets.~~

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited interim ~~unaudited~~ condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. ~~GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC, which apply to interim financial statements.~~GAAP” or “GAAP”). The preparation of ~~those~~the financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues ~~expenses~~ and ~~warrants~~expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Significant estimates include fair values of long-lived assets (primarily vessels and operating lease right-of-use assets), impairment of long-lived assets (primarily vessels and operating lease right-of-use assets), stock-based compensation and financial instruments (primarily derivative instruments and Convertible Bond Debt (as defined herein)), residual values of vessels, useful lives of vessels and estimated losses on accounts receivable. Actual results ~~may~~could differ from ~~these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.~~those estimates.

Accordingly, a ~~detailed~~ description of ~~these~~our critical accounting policies, which can be found in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report, should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s ~~Annual Report~~Quarterly Reports on Form ~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022.~~10-Q. There have been no material changes from the “Critical Accounting Policies” ~~previously~~ disclosed in ~~our~~the Annual Report, ~~on Form 10-K~~except as follows.

Effective January 1, 2023, we increased our estimated vessel scrap value from $300 per lwt to $400 per lwt. This change was driven by increases in 15-year average scrap price trends sourced from a third-party data provider. The change in the estimated scrap value will result in a decrease in depreciation expense over the remaining life of our vessel assets. We expect depreciation to decrease by approximately $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~

~~Use of Estimates~~

~~The preparation~~2023 solely as a result of the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~prospective change in ~~conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at~~

the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are the residual value of vessels, the useful lives of vessels, the value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of operating lease right-of-use assets, and the fair value of derivatives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Ownership Days	4,811	4,770
Owned Available Days	4,581	4,437

In order to understand our discussion of our results of operations, it is important to understand the meaning of the following terms used in our analysis and the factors that influence our results of operations.

•Ownership days: We define ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during a period.

•~~Chartered-in~~Owned available days: We define ~~chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which the Company chartered-in vessels.~~

•~~Available days:~~ ~~We define~~owned available days as the number of ~~our~~ ownership ~~days and chartered-in~~ days less the aggregate number of days that our owned vessels are off-hire due to vessel familiarization upon acquisition, repairs, vessel upgrades or special surveys and other reasons which prevent the vessel from performing under ~~the relevant~~a charter party ~~such as surveys, medical events, stowaway disembarkation, etc.~~in a period. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. ~~During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company completed drydock for four vessels and one vessel was in drydock as of March 31, 2022.~~

•~~Operating days:~~ We define operating days as the number of our available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

•~~Fleet utilization:~~ We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning. Our fleet continues to perform at very high utilization rates.

~~Time Charter and Voyage Revenue~~TCE (Non-GAAP Measure)

Shipping revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by a company and the trades in which those vessels operate. In the drybulk sector of the shipping industry, rates for the transportation of drybulk cargoes such as ores, grains, steel, fertilizers, and similar commodities, are determined by market forces such as the supply and demand for such commodities, the distance that cargoes must be transported, and the number of

vessels available or expected to be available at the time such cargoes need to be transported. ~~The demand for shipments is significantly affected by the state of the global economy and the conditions of certain geographical areas.~~ The number of vessels is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally ~~because of~~due to scrapping.

The mix of charters between ~~spot or~~ voyage charters and ~~mid-term~~ time charters also affects revenues. Because the mix between voyage charters and time charters significantly affects shipping revenues and voyage expenses, vessel revenues are benchmarked based on ~~net~~time charter ~~hire income. Net charter hire income comprises revenue from~~equivalent (“TCE”), which is a non-GAAP measure.

TCE is commonly used in the shipping industry primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels ~~operating~~ on time charters ~~and~~with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage ~~revenue~~charters because charter hire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charter hire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts. The Company defines TCE as revenues, net less voyage expenses ~~from vessels operating on voyage charters in the spot market~~ and charter hire ~~expenses. Net charter hire income serves as a~~expenses, adjusted for realized gains/(losses) on FFAs and bunker swaps, the subtotal of which is divided by the number of owned available days. TCE provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with Revenues, net, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their performance. The Company’s TCE should not be considered an alternative to net income/(loss), operating income/(loss), cash flows provided by/(used in) operating activities or any other measure of ~~analyzing fluctuations between~~ financial ~~periods and as a method~~performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s calculation of ~~equating revenue generated from a voyage charter~~TCE may not be comparable to ~~time charter revenue.~~

those reported by other companies.

The following table represents ~~Net charter hire income (a~~the reconciliation of TCE, a non-GAAP ~~measure)~~measure, from Revenues, net as recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021.~~2022.

Net income

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company reported net income of $3.2 million, or basic and diluted net income per share of $0.25 and $0.24, respectively. In the comparable quarter of 2022, the Company reported net income of $53.1 million, or basic and diluted net income per share of $4.09 ~~per share~~ and $3.27, ~~per share,~~ respectively. ~~In the comparable quarter of 2021, the Company reported net income of $9.8 million, or basic and diluted income of $0.84 per share.~~

Revenues

Our revenues are derived from time and voyage ~~charters. Net~~charters and our revenues are driven primarily by the number of vessels in our fleet, the number of days during which our vessels operate and the net charter hire that our vessels earn under charters, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

•the duration of our charters;

•our decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;

•the amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels;

•the amount of time that our vessels spend in drydock undergoing repairs;

•maintenance and ~~voyage charter revenues~~upgrade work;

•the age, condition and specifications of our vessels;

•levels of supply and demand in the drybulk shipping industry; and

•other factors affecting spot freight rates for drybulk carriers.

Revenues, net for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 were $105.2 million compared to $184.4 million ~~compared with $96.6 million recorded in~~for the comparable quarter in ~~2021. The increase~~2022. Revenues, net decreased $79.2 million primarily due to lower rates on both time and voyage charters, driven by a decline in ~~revenues was primarily attributable to higher charter rates as a result of~~ the ~~market recovery with increase in demand for~~ drybulk ~~products.~~market.

Voyage expenses

To the extent that we employ our vessels on voyage charters, we ~~will~~ incur expenses that include but are not limited to bunkers, port charges, canal tolls and cargo handling operations, as these expenses are borne by the vessel owner on voyage charters. As is common in the shipping industry, we pay commissions ranging from 1.25% to ~~5.50%~~5.00% of the total daily charter hire rate of each charter to unaffiliated ship brokers and in-house brokers associated with the charterers, depending on the number of brokers involved with arranging the charter. ~~Bunkers, port charges, and canal tolls primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on~~We record such broker commissions as voyage ~~charters because these expenses are for the vessel owner's account.~~ expenses.

Voyage expenses for the three months ended March 31, ~~2022 and 2021~~2023 were $43.6 million and $26.6 million, respectively. The increase in voyage expenses was primarily due to an increase in bunker consumption expense as bunker fuel prices increased in the first quarter, as well as an increase in voyage charter business and an increase in broker commission expense as a result of the increase in revenues.

~~Vessel operating expenses~~

~~Vessel operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $27.9~~$33.5 million compared to ~~$21.5~~$43.6 million infor the comparable quarter in ~~2021. The increase~~2022. Voyage expenses decreased $10.2 million primarily due to a $6.0 million reduction in ~~vessel~~port expenses and a $3.0 million decrease in bunker consumption expenses, each primarily driven by a decrease in voyage charters.

Vessel operating expenses was primarily attributable to higher owned days and an increase in vessel upgrades as a result of an increase in repairs and upgrades performed while vessels were in drydock. The Company continues to incur higher costs related to the delivery of stores and spares, as well as crew changes as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The ownership days for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were 4,770 and 4,199, respectively.

Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores and related inventory, tonnage taxes, pre-operating costs associated with the delivery of acquired vessels, including providing the newly acquired vessels with initial provisions and stores, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Between 2017 and 2021, the Company entered into a series of agreements to charter five Ultramax vessels on a long term basis. The minimum chartered-in periods ranged between one and four years with an option to extend the duration between three and 24 months. Four of those five vessels were chartered-in as of March 31, 2022. The remaining vessel will be delivered during the second quarter of 2022.days, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

~~For~~We depreciate the ~~three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, total depreciation and amortization expense was $14.6 million and $12.5 million, respectively. Total depreciation and amortization expense for~~cost of our vessels on a straight-line basis over the ~~three months ended March 31, 2022 includes $11.7 million~~expected useful life of vessel and other fixed assets depreciation and $2.9 million relating to the amortization of deferred drydocking costs. Comparable amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $10.5 million of vessel and other fixed assets depreciation and $2.0 million of amortization of deferred drydocking costs. The increase in depreciation expense is due to the acquisition of nine Ultramax vessels in 2021, offset by the sale of one vessel in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in amortization of deferred drydock costs is related to completing eleven drydocks since the first quarter of 2021.

Depreciation and ~~every five years~~amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $14.7 million compared to $14.6 million for the comparable quarter in 2022. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in deferred drydocking cost amortization due to higher drydocking expenditures and a $0.3 million increase in depreciation driven by the net impact of vessels ~~younger than 15 years, accordingly, these expenses are deferred~~acquired and ~~amortized over these~~sold during the respective periods. This was partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in depreciation due to a change in our estimated vessel scrap value from $300 per lwt to $400 per lwt, effective January 1, 2023.

General and administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses include onshore vessel administration related expenses, such as legal and professional expenses, administrative and other expenses including payroll and expenses relating to our executive officers and office staff,

office rent and expenses, ~~directors’~~directors fees, and directors and officers insurance. General and administrative expenses also include stock-based compensation expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $18.6 million, compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company (i) paid $20.9 million to purchase one vessel and other vessel improvements, (ii) paid $6.0 million as advances on ~~many factors beyond~~the purchase of two vessels and (iii) paid $0.2 million to purchase ballast water treatment systems (“BWTS”).
