Disclaimer

This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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," "es timate," "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 forward-looking statements in this presentation are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

The principal factors that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows include, charter market rates, which have declined significantly from historic highs, 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 of our vessels, significant vessel improvement costs and our vessels' estimated useful lives, and financing costs related to our indebtedness. 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:

  1. 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 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;
  1. changes in general domestic and international political conditions; (ix) changes in the condition of the Company's ves sels 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; (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.

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 believe to be reliable sources. We have not independently verified this data nor sought the consent of any organizations to refer to their reports in this presentation. We disclaim 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.

Evaluating TCE Relative Performance

This page is meant to assist analysts/investors on how to potentially evaluate and forecast vessel/fleet TCE relative performance within the Supramax/Ultramax segment

  • Since the Supramax/Ultramax segment is comprised of a number of different ship types / sizes / designs, TCE generation ability can differ significantly from the standard vessel used to calculate the BSI-58 benchmark
  • For example, a 2013-built Chinese 60-65k DWT Ultramax should be expected to earn a significant premium to a 2013-built55-60k Supramax, particularly given the incremental cost of the 60-65k DWT vessel
  • Ultimately, it's about yield - the expected earnings ability of a vessel versus its cost

Definitions

Item

Description

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and

Adjusted EBITDA

by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and others, to assess our operating

performance as compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or

historical costs basis. Our Adjusted EBITDA 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 financial performance or liquidity

presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another

company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA represents

EBITDA adjusted to exclude the items which represent certain non-cash,one-time and other items such as vessel impairment,

lease impairment, gain/(loss) on sale of vessels, stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment and restructuring

expenses that the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations.

TCE

Time charter equivalent ("TCE") is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the shipping industry 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 generally are expressed in such amounts. The Company defines TCE as shipping revenues

less voyage expenses and charter hire expenses, adjusted for the impact of one legacy time charter and realized gains on

FFAs and bunker swaps, divided by the number of owned available days. TCE provides additional meaningful information in

conjunction with shipping revenues, 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 financial performance. The

Company's calculation of TCE may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The Company calculates relative

performance by comparing TCE against the Baltic Supramax Index ("BSI") adjusted for commissions and fleet makeup. The

BSI was initiated in 2006 based on the Tess 52 design. The index for the Tess 58 design has been published commencing on

April 3, 2017, and transition was completed as of December 2018, when the Baltic stopped publishing a dynamic Tess 52 daily

rate. The Company has now switched to the Tess 58 index for valuation modeling as of January 1, 2019. The change in the

BSI may affect comparability of our TCE against BSI in periods prior to Company switching to the Tess 58 index.

Owned available days is the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us

less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to vessel familiarization upon acquisition, repairs, vessel

upgrades or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during

which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.
