"Time charter equivalent (TCE) rate $ 16,309 $ 15,615"

"our fleet, owned and bareboat chartered-in, as well as the provision"
equity method investments financial
"Equity method investments (Note 3) 58,382 53,875"
An equity method investment is an accounting approach used when a company owns a significant share of another company and can influence its decisions but does not fully control it; instead of listing the investment at cost, the investor records its share of the other company's profits or losses on its own income statement and adjusts the investment value on the balance sheet. For investors, this matters because it links the investor’s reported earnings and asset values directly to the financial performance of that partly-owned business, similar to how a partner’s gains affect a small business owner’s books.
restricted cash financial
"Restricted cash, current (Note 7) 51,250 53,750"
Cash that a company holds but cannot use for day-to-day operations because it is set aside for a specific purpose—such as meeting loan covenants, serving as collateral, funding an escrow, or complying with regulations. Like money in a locked savings account earmarked for a bill, restricted cash reduces the cash available to run the business and pay dividends or debts, so investors treat it differently when assessing a company’s true short-term financial strength.
warrant liability financial
"Warrant liability, current (Note 10(g)) 2,352 -"
Warrant liability is the financial obligation a company records when it grants warrants—special options giving the holder the right to buy company shares at a set price in the future. It matters to investors because changes in this liability can affect a company's reported earnings and overall financial health, similar to how a pending contract can influence a company's future value.
sale and leaseback financial
"the transactions are failed sales and consequently the assets were not derecognized"
A sale and leaseback is a financing arrangement where a company sells an asset—often property or equipment—to a buyer and immediately rents it back under a long-term lease. Think of selling your house to free up cash but staying as a tenant; the company gets immediate funds while continuing to use the asset. Investors watch these deals because they change a firm’s cash position, debt or lease obligations, and ongoing costs, which can affect profitability and financial risk.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Of
Financial Condition and Results Of Operations
The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our interim
unaudited consolidated financial statements and their notes attached hereto. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements. For additional information relating to our management's discussion and analysis of financial

The Company
Diana Shipping Inc. is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Liberia in March 1999 as Diana
Shipping Investments Corp. In February 2005, the Company’s articles of incorporation were amended.
Under the amended and restated articles of incorporation, the Company was renamed Diana Shipping
Inc. and was re-domiciled from the Republic of Liberia to the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
The commercial and technical management of our fleet, owned and bareboat chartered-in, as well as the
provision of administrative services relating to the fleet’s operations, are carried out by our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Diana Shipping Services S.A., which we refer to as DSS, and Diana Wilhelmsen Management
Limited, a 50/50 joint venture with Wilhelmsen Ship Management, which we refer to as DWM.
Our Operations
We charter our vessels, owned and bareboat chartered-in, to customers primarily pursuant to short-,
medium- and long-term time charters. Under our time charters, the charterer typically pays us a fixed
daily charter hire rate and bears all voyage expenses, including the cost of bunkers (fuel oil) and port and
canal charges. We remain responsible for paying the chartered vessel's operating expenses, including
the cost of crewing, insuring, repairing, and maintaining the vessel, the costs of spares and consumable
stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, and we also pay commissions to one or more
unaffiliated ship brokers and to in-house brokers associated with the charterer for the arrangement of the
relevant charter.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
We believe that our results of operations are affected by the following factors:
(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant
period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the
period divided by the number of calendar days in the period.
(2) Ownership days are 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.
(3) Available days are the number of our ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our
vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special
surveys and the aggregate amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels for such events. The
shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels
should be capable of generating revenues. Our method of computing available days may not necessarily
be comparable to available days of other companies.
(4) Operating days are the number of 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.
(5) 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 number 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 for such events.
(6) Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE, is defined as our time charter revenues less voyage
expenses during a period divided by the number of our available days during the period. Our method of
computing TCE rate may not necessarily be comparable to TCE rates of other companies due to
differences in methods of calculation. TCE is a non-GAAP measure, and management believes it is
useful to investors because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to
compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels
on voyage 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 are generally
expressed in such amounts. TCE is used by management to assess and compare the vessels’
profitability.
(7) Daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew wages and related costs, the cost of
insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the costs of spares and consumable stores,
tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses
by ownership days for the relevant period.

Time Charter Revenues
Our revenues are driven primarily by the number of vessels in our fleet, the number of days during which
our vessels operate and the amount of daily charter hire rates that our vessels earn under charters,
which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Vessels operating on time charters for a certain period of time provide more predictable cash flows over
that period of time but can yield lower profit margins than vessels operating in the spot charter market
during periods characterized by favorable market conditions. Vessels operating in the spot charter market
generate revenues that are less predictable but may enable their owners to capture increased profit
margins during periods of improvements in charter rates although their owners would be exposed to the
risk of declining charter rates, which may have a materially adverse impact on financial performance. As
8
we employ vessels on period charters, future spot charter rates may be higher or lower than the rates at
which we have employed our vessels on period charters. Our time charter agreements subject us to
counterparty risk. In depressed market conditions, charterers may seek to renegotiate the terms of their
existing charter parties or avoid their obligations under those contracts. Should a counterparty fail to
honor their obligations under agreements with us, we could sustain significant losses which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Voyage Expenses
We incur voyage expenses that mainly include commissions because all of our vessels are employed
under time charters that require the charterer to bear voyage expenses such as bunkers (fuel oil), port
and canal charges. Although the charterer bears the cost of bunkers, we also have bunker gain or loss
deriving from the price differences of bunkers. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are
purchased by the charterer and sold back to us on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss,
results when a vessel is redelivered by her charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different
bunker prices, or quantities.
We currently pay commissions ranging from 4.75% to 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. In addition, we pay a commission to DWM and to
DSS for those vessels for which they provide commercial management services. The commissions paid
to DSS are eliminated from our consolidated financial statements as intercompany transactions. The
effect of bunker prices cannot be determined, as a gain or loss from bunkers results mainly from the
difference in the value of bunkers paid by the Company when the vessel is redelivered to the Company
from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by
the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer.
Vessel Operating Expenses
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, tonnage taxes,
environmental plan costs and health, safety, quality and vetting. Our vessel operating expenses generally
represent fixed costs.
Vessel Depreciation
The cost of our vessels is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each
vessel. Depreciation is based on the cost of the vessel less its estimated salvage value. We estimate the
useful life of our dry bulk vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard, which
we believe is common in the dry bulk shipping industry. Furthermore, we estimate the salvage values of
our vessels based on historical average prices of the cost of the light-weight ton of vessels being
scrapped.
General and Administrative Expenses
We incur general and administrative expenses which include our onshore related expenses such as
payroll expenses of employees, executive officers, directors and consultants, compensation cost of
restricted stock awarded to senior management and non-executive directors, traveling, promotional and
other expenses of the public company, such as legal and professional expenses and other general
expenses. General and administrative expenses are not affected by the size of the fleet. However, they
9
are affected by the exchange rate of the Euro to US Dollars, as about half of our administrative expenses
are in Euro.
Interest and Finance Costs
We incur interest expenses and financing costs in connection with vessel-specific debt, senior unsecured
bond and finance liabilities. As of June 30, 2026, total long-term debt amounted to $503.1 million and
finance liabilities amounted to $109.1 million.
We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining a mix of floating and fixed interest rate
financing agreements. Floating rate agreements include secured loan facilities and fixed rate agreements
include leases and our senior unsecured bond. Also, in 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap
for 30% of our $100 million loan facility with DNB, dated June 26, 2023, under which we pay fixed interest
and receive floating.
Inflation
Since 2022 there have been significant global inflationary pressures which have affected our operating
and drydocking costs.
Results of Operations
Six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025
Time charter revenues.
six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $109.6 million for the same period of 2025. The increase
in time charter revenues was due to the increased average time charter equivalent rate of $16,309 per
vessel per day that the Company achieved for its vessels in the six months ended June 30, 2026,
compared to $15,615 in the same period of 2025, representing a 4% increase. This increase was partly
offset by the decreased operating days in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same
period last year, resulting from the decrease in the size of the fleet compared to the same period last
year. Operating days for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were 6,456 compared to 6,602 for the
same period of 2025.
Voyage expenses.
ended June 30, 2026, compared to $6.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase
was primarily attributable to higher miscellaneous voyage expenses, which amounted to $0.7 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.3 million in the same period of 2025. The increase
was also attributable to higher commissions, which increased by 4% to $5.7 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2026, from $5.5 million in the same period in 2025, primarily as a result of increased
revenues. These increases were partially offset by the absence of losses on bunkers in the six months
ended June 30, 2026, compared to losses of $0.3 million in the same period of 2025. The loss on
bunkers was mainly due to the difference in the price of bunkers paid by the Company to the charterers
on the redelivery of the vessels from the charterers under the previous charter party agreements and the
price of bunkers paid by charterers to the Company on the delivery of the same vessels to their
charterers under new charter party agreements.
Vessel operating expenses.
Vessel operating expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 1%, to $40.4 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $40.0 million in the six months ended June 30,
2025. The increase occurred despite the operation of a smaller fleet during the 2026 period and was
primarily attributable to higher spares, repairs, stores and supplies expenses. On a per vessel-day basis,
10
operating expenses increased, reflecting crew wages increases and elevated travel expenses associated
with crew changes, higher repairs and spares. Total daily operating expenses were $6,203 in the six
months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $5,905 in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Depreciation and amortization of deferred charges.
increased by $1.4 million, or 6%, to $24.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to
$22.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher
amortization of deferred drydocking and special survey costs, reflecting the large number of vessels that
completed scheduled drydockings and special surveys in the second half of 2025, increasing the
amortization cost base. The increase was partially offset by lower depreciation expense due to the
reduction in the size of the Company's fleet.
General and administrative expenses
. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or
1%, to $17.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $17.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower restricted stock compensation
expense in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025, resulting
from the accelerated vesting of restricted shares granted to two board members who resigned in May 2025.
The decrease was partially offset by higher payroll costs, consultancy fees and travel expenses.
Gain on sale of vessels
. Gain on sale of vessels amounted to $1.5 million in the six months ended June
30, 2025, which is attributed to the sale of vessel Alcmene during the first quarter of 2025.
Interest expense and finance costs.
million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $21.9 million in the six months ended June
30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower average outstanding balances of debt and
finance lease liabilities, as well as lower interest rates.
Interest and other income.
Interest and other income costs increased by $2.9 million or 76% to $6.7
million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.8 million in the six months ended June
30, 2025. This increase is attributed to the dividend income of $5.4 million received in the six months
ended June 30, 2026, from the investment in Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“Genco”). The increase
was partially offset by lower interest income resulting from a lower average balance of time deposits and
lower interest rates compared to the same period in 2025.
Gain(loss) on derivative instruments.
Gain on derivative instruments amounted to $0.2 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a loss of $0.2 million in the same period of 2025, which is
mainly attributable to the fair value change of the interest rate swap with DNB which the Company
entered into on July 6, 2023.
Gain/(loss) on related party investments.
Loss on related party investments amounted to $0.1 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a gain of $2.5 million for the same period of 2025. The
variance principally reflects changes in the fair value of the Company's investment in OceanPal, including
the effects of equity issuances by OceanPal that diluted the Company's ownership interest.
Gain/(Loss) on equity securities.
Gain on equity securities amounted to $40.7 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2026, compared to a loss of $0.4 million in the same period in 2025. The variance
primarily reflects changes in the fair value of the Company's investment in Genco, driven by an increase
in Genco's share price during the first half of 2026, compared to a decrease in its share price during the
first half of 2025.
11
Gain/(loss) on warrants.
Loss on warrants amounted to $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30,
2026, compared to a gain of $0.5 million for the same period of 2025, which is mainly attributable to the
remeasurement of warrant liability and the gain or loss from the settlement of the warrants that were
exercised.
Loss from equity method investments.
Loss from equity method investments amounted to $0.4 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily reflects the Company's losses from the
investments in Diana Mariners, Ecogas, Bergen Ultra and DWM, amounting to $0.8 million, partially
offset by the gain from the investment in Windward of $0.4 million.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we finance our short-term and long-term capital requirements with cash from operations,
cash balances, equity contributions from shareholders, long-term bank debt, finance liabilities and senior
unsecured bonds. Our main uses of funds have been capital expenditures for the acquisition and
construction of new vessels, expenditures incurred in connection with ensuring that our vessels comply
with international and regulatory standards, repayments of bank loans, repurchase of our common stock
and payment of dividends.
Our short-term liquidity requirements include funding the installments for the construction of two vessels
with expected deliveries in 2027 and 2028, funding the construction of an office building, payments of
committed capital under the terms of our joint ventures in Windward and Ecogas, expenditures relating to
scheduled drydock and special surveys of our vessels to comply with international and regulatory
standards, payments of interest and principal installments under our bank loans, our bond, and lease
agreements and payment of dividends, common and preferred. Our primary sources of short-term
liquidity include cash generated from operating activities, available cash balances, proceeds from the
exercise of warrants and vessel sales.
Our long-term liquidity requirements include funding our newbuilding vessel installments, interest and
principal payments on outstanding debt, bond, and lease agreements, loan maturities, payment of
dividends, common and preferred, if declared by the board of directors, expenditures for drydock and
special surveys as they become due. Sources of funding for our long-term liquidity requirements include
cash flows from operations, available cash balances, bank borrowings, issuance of debt and equity
securities, and vessel sales.
As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, working capital, which is current assets minus current
liabilities, including the current portion of long-term debt, was $141.4 million and $155.3 million,
respectively. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to the increase in current liabilities,
due to the reclassification of the outstanding balance of the DNB loan from long-term to current liabilities,
as a result of discussions on the margin reset provisions included in the loan agreement, which have not
yet commenced. The decrease was partly offset by an increase in investments in equity securities related
to our investment in Genco. We believe that our working capital is sufficient to cover our short-term
requirements.
Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $117.9 million on June 30, 2026, and $122.3
million on December 31, 2025. Restricted cash, non-current, which represents minimum liquidity
requirements under our loan facilities, as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, amounted to $18.0
million and $18.0 million, respectively. Restricted cash, current consists of loan proceeds maintained in a
pledged account in order to reduce the loan’s margin and as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025,
12
amounting to $51.3 million and $53.8 million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted
cash represent our available sources of liquidity to meet our short- and long-term obligations.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $12.0 million, or 47%. For the six months ended
June 30, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $37.8 million compared to net cash
provided by operating activities of $25.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase
was primarily due to lower drydocking and special survey costs, as a result of a lower number of vessels
undergoing such surveys, as well as higher revenues resulting from increased average time charter rates
achieved by our fleet.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which
consists of $0.6 million paid for vessel acquisitions and improvements; $3.7 million of proceeds as a
return of capital from the sale by Bergen Ultra, an equity method investee, of the vessel DSI Drammen in
the first quarter of 2026; $8.5 million paid for investments consisting of $6.3 million advances to
Windward and Ecogas to fund the construction of vessels and $2.2 million of transaction-related costs in
connection with our offer to acquire Genco; $3.7 million proceeds from the sale of 148,603 shares of
Genco; $0.4 million advanced as a loan to Diana Mariners and $1.8 million paid to acquire property and
other assets.
Net cash used in investing activities was $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which
consists of $0.7 million paid for vessel acquisitions and improvements; $11.5 million of proceeds from the
sale of the vessel Alcmene during the first quarter of 2025; $40.3 million paid for investments consisting
of $15.5 million advances to Windward and Ecogas to fund the construction of vessels and $24.8 million
for the acquisition of equity securities of Genco; $3.5 million received as return of capital due to the
revaluation of our investment in Windward resulting from the admission of a new partner to the joint
venture; $17.5 million of proceeds from the maturity of time deposits placed in the prior year; $20.0
million placed in time deposits with maturities of over three months and $0.8 million paid to acquire
property and other assets.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $38.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which
consists of $31.1 million of debt repayments; $2.1 million proceeds from the issuance of common stock;
$2.9 million and $2.5 million of dividends paid on our Series B Preferred Stock and common stock,
respectively and; $3.7 million of commitment fees paid under the committed facility related to our offer to
acquire Genco.
Net cash used in financing activities was $56.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which
consists of $23.0 million payment for the repurchase of common stock; $28.4 million of debt repayments;
and $2.9 million and $2.3 million of dividends paid on our Series B Preferred Stock and common stock,
respectively.

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information and Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diana
Shipping Inc., or DSI and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). DSI was formed on
March 8, 1999, as Diana Shipping Investment Corp. under the laws of the Republic of Liberia. In
February 2005, the Company’s articles of incorporation were amended. Under the amended articles of
incorporation, the Company was renamed Diana Shipping Inc. and was re-domiciled from the Republic of
Liberia to the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial
information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for
complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2026 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all
normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six
months ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, has been derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all information and footnotes
required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of dry bulk cargoes worldwide mainly through the
ownership and bareboat charter in of dry bulk carrier vessels. The Company operates its own fleet
through Diana Shipping Services S.A. (or “DSS”), a wholly owned subsidiary and through Diana
Wilhelmsen Management Limited, or DWM, a
% owned joint venture (Note 3(a)). The fees paid to DSS
are eliminated on consolidation.
The Company has determined that it operates under
vessels, and the assets of such segment are presented under the caption Total assets in the
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. The segment's significant
expenses regularly provided to chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) are the consolidated expenses
as presented on the face of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of income. The
accounting policies applied to the reportable segment are the same as those used in the preparation of
the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-
F for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2 to the Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six months ended
June 30, 2026, except for as discussed below:

Nonrevolving Loan Commitment Fees
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company adopted a change in its accounting policy
related to loan commitment fees. Previously, loan commitment fees were expensed as incurred or were
capitalized as part of the vessels' construction cost. Under the new policy, in accordance with ASC 310-
20-25-11, commitment fees are deferred until the debt is drawn and are subsequently presented as a
contra-liability to the debt and amortized using the effective interest method.
Management believes that this change results in a more appropriate presentation of the Company’s
financial position and results of operations.
The Company applied this change prospectively from the date of adoption, as the impact of the change in
accounting policy on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods was not material.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2026, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2026-02, Environmental Credits and
Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818), which establishes guidance for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of environmental credits and related environmental credit
obligations. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2027, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted, and
are required to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting
this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Shares issued during the period and shares repurchased during the period are weighted for the portion of
the period that they were outstanding. Restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive
plan are included in the calculation of EPS when vested. Unvested restricted shares are not considered
participating securities. Shares issued upon the exercise of warrants are included in the computation of
basic EPS as of the date of exercise.
Incremental shares represent the number of shares assumed issued under the treasury stock method,
weighted for the periods the non-vested shares were outstanding. The dilutive effect of unexercised in-
the-money warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds
from the exercise of such warrants are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for
the period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were
respectively, included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation. Securities that
could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future periods but were excluded from the computation
of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive consisted of (i)
incremental shares from unexercised warrants that were out of the money during the reporting period
(Note 10(g)), (ii) incremental shares from unexercised warrants that, if included in the diluted earnings
per share calculation, would have had an anti-dilutive effect (Note 10(g)), and (iii) anti-dilutive non-vested
restricted share awards (Note 10(h)).
Net income attributable to common stockholders is adjusted for dividends on Series B Preferred Stock in
the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, and for gains on warrants recognized in net
income, when dilutive, in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

13. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures
Interest rate risk and concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and accounts receivable, trade arising from
operating leases. The ability and willingness of each of the Company’s counterparties to perform their
obligations under a contract depend upon a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control
and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the state of the capital markets, the
condition of the shipping industry and charter hire rates. The Company’s credit risk with financial
institutions is limited as it has temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, placed with
various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of
those financial institutions. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and by receiving payments of hire in
advance. The Company, generally, does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not
have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 charterers that individually accounted for
% or
more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:
Charterer
2026
2025
Nippon Yusen Kaisha
Cargill
Swissmarine

Bunge

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings with variable interest rates. This exposure
is partly mitigated through fixed-rate indebtedness including the Company’s bond (Note 7), an interest
rate swap with DNB (Note 7) and finance liabilities that bear fixed rates (Note 8).
Fair value of assets and liabilities
The carrying values of financial assets reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature and high liquidity of these financial instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as Level 1 instruments as they represent
liquid assets with short-term maturity. The fair value of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates
approximates the recorded values, as their interest rates adjust to market-observable rates. These
instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s
lease liabilities had a carrying value of $
.
