OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to three months ended June 30, 2022

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Danaos had an average of 68.0 containerships compared to 71.0 containerships during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Our fleet utilization for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 98.7% compared to 99.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues decreased by 3.7%, or $9.4 million, to $241.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $250.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 reflected:

a $5.5 million increase in revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 mainly as a result of higher charter rates;
a $0.3 million increase in revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to higher non-cash revenue recognition in accordance with US GAAP;
a $5.4 million decrease in revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to vessel disposals; and
a $9.8 million decrease in revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to decreased amortization of assumed time charters.

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses decreased by $1.0 million to $8.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $9.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of a decrease in the average number of vessels in our fleet.

Vessel Operating Expenses

Vessel operating expenses increased by $1.3 million to $41.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $40.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in the average daily operating cost for vessels on time charter to $6,970 per vessel per day for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $6,463 per vessel per day for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average number of vessels in our fleet. The average daily operating cost increased mainly due to increased repair and maintenance expenses. Management believes that our daily operating costs remain among the most competitive in the industry.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense decreased by 5.3%, or $1.8 million, to $31.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $33.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 mainly due to our recent sale of three vessels.

Amortization of Deferred Drydocking and Special Survey Costs

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased by $1.3 million to $4.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $3.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million to $7.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $7.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense decreased by 63.4%, or $10.2 million, to $5.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $16.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in interest expense is a result of:

a $5.3 million decrease in interest expense due to a decrease in our average indebtedness by $694.3 million between the two periods. Average indebtedness was $459.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to average indebtedness of $1,154.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our debt service cost by approximately 2.9% as a result of higher interest rates;
a $3.0 million decrease in interest expense due to an increase in capitalized interest expense on our vessels under construction in the three months ended June 30, 2023;
a $2.6 million decrease in the amortization of deferred finance costs and debt discount; and
a $0.7 million reduction of accumulated accrued interest that had been accrued in 2018 in relation to two of our credit facilities that were fully repaid in May 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, outstanding debt, gross of deferred finance costs, was $424.3 million, which included $262.8 million principal amount of our Senior Notes. These balances compare to debt of $885.1 million, which included $300.0 million principal amount of our Senior Notes, and a leaseback obligation of $105.8 million, gross of deferred finance costs, as of June 30, 2022. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Interest income increased by $3.5 million to $3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 mainly as a result of increased interest rates in the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Gain/(loss) on Investments

We recognized a $6.4 million gain on marketable securities in the three months ended June 30, 2023 on our shareholding interest in Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (“Eagle Bulk”) of 1,552,865 shares of common stock. This gain compares to a loss on investments of $168.6 million, which consisted of the change in fair value of our shareholding interest in ZIM recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2022. In September 2022, we sold all of our remaining ordinary shares of ZIM for net proceeds of $161.3 million.

Dividend Income

Dividend income of $16.2 million was recognized on ZIM ordinary shares in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to none in the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Gain/(loss) on Debt Extinguishment

A $2.3 million loss on early extinguishment of our leaseback obligations in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compares to a $22.9 million gain related to our early extinguishment of debt in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Equity Loss on Investments

Equity loss on investments amounting to $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 relates to our share of initial expenses of a newly established company, Carbon Termination Technologies Corporation (“CTTC”), currently engaged in the research and development of decarbonization technologies for the shipping industry.

Other Finance Expenses

Other finance expenses increased by $0.8 million to $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 mainly due to commitment fees for our recently established revolving credit facility.

Income taxes of $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, related to the taxes withheld on dividend income earned on ZIM ordinary shares compare to no income tax in the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Danaos had an average of 68.2 containerships compared to 71.0 containerships during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Our fleet utilization for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 97.8% compared to 98.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased by 0.9%, or $4.2 million, to $485.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $480.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 reflect:

a $35.9 million increase in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 mainly as a result of higher charter rates;
a $8.7 million decrease in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to vessel disposals;
a $3.0 million decrease in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to lower non-cash revenue recognition in accordance with US GAAP; and
a $20.0 million decrease in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to decreased amortization of assumed time charters.

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses decreased by $0.3 million to $16.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $16.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Vessel Operating Expenses

Vessel operating expenses increased by $2.8 million to $82.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $79.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in the average daily operating cost for vessels on time charter to $6,889 per vessel per day for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $6,385 per vessel per day for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average number of vessels in our fleet. The average daily operating cost increased mainly due to increased repair and maintenance expenses. Management believes that our daily operating costs remain among the most competitive in the industry.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense decreased by 5.5%, or $3.7 million, to $63.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $67.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to our recent sale of three vessels.

Amortization of Deferred Drydocking and Special Survey Costs

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased by $2.4 million to $8.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $5.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million to $14.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $14.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased management fees due to the recent sale of three vessels.

Gain on Sale of Vessels

In January 2023, we completed the sale of the Amalia C for net proceeds of $4.9 million resulting in a gain of $1.6 million.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense decreased by 62.0%, or $20.6 million, to $12.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $33.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in interest expense is a result of:

a $10.9 million decrease in interest expense due to a decrease in our average indebtedness by $771.2 million between the two periods. Average indebtedness was $483.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to average indebtedness of $1,254.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our debt service cost by approximately 2.9% as a result of higher interest rates;
a $6.5 million decrease in interest expense due to an increase in capitalized interest expense on our vessels under construction in the six months ended June 30, 2023;
a $5.3 million decrease in the amortization of deferred finance costs and debt discount; and
a $2.1 million reduction of accumulated accrued interest that had been accrued in 2018 in relation to two of our credit facilities that were fully repaid in May 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, outstanding debt, gross of deferred finance costs, was $424.3 million, which included $262.8 million principal amount of our Senior Notes. These balances compare to debt of $885.1 million, which included $300.0 million principal amount of our Senior Notes, and a leaseback obligation of $105.8 million, gross of deferred finance costs, as of June 30, 2022.

Interest income increased by $6.2 million to $6.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 mainly as a result of increased interest rates in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of funds has been operating cash flows, vessel sales, and long-term bank borrowings, as well as equity provided by our stockholders from our initial public offering in October 2006; common stock sales in August 2010 and the fourth quarter of 2019, the capital contribution of Danaos Investment Limited as Trustee of the 883 Trust (“DIL”) on August 10, 2018 and dividends and sales proceeds from our divested investment in ZIM ordinary shares in 2021 and 2022. In February 2021, we sold $300 million of 8.500% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”). In December 2022, we repurchased $37.2 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes in a privately negotiated transaction. We may also at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt securities through cash purchases, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Our principal uses of funds have been capital expenditures to establish, grow and maintain our fleet, comply with international shipping standards, environmental laws and regulations and to fund working capital requirements and repayment of debt.

Our short-term liquidity needs primarily relate to the funding of our vessel operating expenses, drydocking costs, installment payments for our ten contracted newbuildings and the five capsize bulk carriers we in principle agreed to acquire in July 2023 for $103 million, debt interest payments, servicing our debt obligations, payment of dividends and repurchase of our common stock. Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to installment payments for our ten contracted newbuildings and any additional vessel acquisitions in the containership or drybulk sector and debt repayment. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds will be cash from operations and equity or debt financings. We currently expect that the sources of funds available to us will be sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity (for the next 12 months after the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements) and long-term liquidity requirements.

Under our existing multi-year charters as of June 30, 2023, we had $2.5 billion of total contracted cash revenues, or $454.1 million for the remainder of 2023, $797.8 million for 2024 and thereafter $1.3 billion. Although these contracted cash revenues are based on contracted charter rates, we are dependent on the ability and willingness of our charterers to meet their obligations under these charters. In May 2022, we received a $238.9 million charter hire prepayment related to charter contracts for 15 of our vessels, representing partial prepayment of charter hire payable during the period from May 2022 through January 2027. This prepayment is recorded as unearned revenue on our balance sheet and recognized as revenue in our income statement over the term of the applicable charters.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $293.3 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had $360.0 million of remaining borrowing availability under a reducing revolving credit facility, the availability under which reduces on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2023, we had $424.3 million of outstanding indebtedness (gross of deferred finance costs), including $262.8 million relating to our Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2023, we were obligated to make quarterly fixed amortization payments, totaling $27.5 million to June 30, 2024, related to the long-term bank debt. We are also obligated to make certain payments to our Manager, Danaos Shipping, under our management agreement which has a term through December 31, 2024.

In June 2022, we drew down $130.0 million under a new senior secured term loan facility from BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole, which is secured by six 5,466 TEU sister vessels acquired in 2021. This facility is repayable in 8 quarterly instalments of $5.0 million, followed by 12 quarterly instalments of $1.9 million together with a balloon payment of $67.2 million payable over five-year term. In December 2022, we early extinguished the remaining $437.75 million of the Citibank/Natwest $815 mil. Facility and replaced it with the $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility with Citibank, out of which nil is drawn down as of June 30, 2023 and with the Alpha Bank $55.25 mil. Facility, which was drawn down in full and under which $51.5 million is outstanding as of June 30, 2023. The Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility is reducing and repayable over 5 years in 20 quarterly reductions of $11.25 million each together with a final reduction of $157.5 million at maturity in December 2027. We pay a commitment fee at a rate of 0.8% per annum on the undrawn amount of this facility. The Alpha Bank $55.25 mil. Facility is repayable over 5 years with 20 consecutive quarterly instalments of $1.875 million each, together with a balloon payment of $17.75 million at maturity in December 2027.

On March 11, 2022, we entered into contracts for the construction of two 7,100 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2024. On April 1, 2022, as amended on April 21, 2022, we entered into contracts for the construction of four 8,000 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2024. On April 28, 2023, we entered into contracts for the construction of two 6,000 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2024 and 2025. On June 20, 2023, we entered into contracts for the construction of two 8,200 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2026. The aggregate purchase price of the vessel construction contracts amounts to $834.9 million. The remaining contractual commitments under these vessel construction contracts are analyzed as follows as of June 30, 2023 (in millions of U.S. dollars):

Additionally, a supervision fee of $725 thousand per newbuilding vessel will be payable to Danaos Shipping Company Limited (“the Manager”) over the construction period starting from steel cutting. Supervision fees totaling $1.1 million were charged by the Manager and capitalized to the vessels under construction in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Interest expense amounting to $5.0 million and $7.2 million was capitalized to the vessels under construction in the year ended December 31, 2022 and in the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Subsequent to June 30, 2023, we declared a dividend of $0.75 per share of common stock payable on September 1, 2023 to holders of record on August 23, 2023. We intend to pay a regular quarterly dividend on our common stock, which will have an impact on our liquidity. Payments of dividends are subject to the discretion of our board of directors, provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to stockholders and the terms of our credit facilities, which permit the payment of dividends so long as there has been no event of default thereunder nor would occur as a result of such dividend payment, and Senior Notes, which include limitations on the amount of dividends and other restricted payments that we may make, and will be subject to conditions in the container shipping industry, our financial performance and us having sufficient available excess cash and distributable reserves.

In June 2022, we announced a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of our common stock. We had repurchased 466,955 shares of our common stock in the open market for $28.6 million as of December 31, 2022. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased an additional 597,697 shares for $36.0 million, out of which 3,400 shares valued at $0.2 million remained unsettled as of June 30, 2023. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, we repurchased 15,895 shares of our common stock in the open market for $1.0 million. All purchases have been made on the open market within the safe harbor provisions of Regulation 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. Under the share repurchase program, shares of our common stock may be purchased in open market or privately negotiated transactions, at times and prices that are considered to be appropriate by the Company, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Marketable Securities

In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we acquired marketable securities, comprising 1,552,865 shares of common stock of Eagle Bulk for $68.2 million (out of which $24.4 million from Virage International Ltd., our related company). As of June 30, 2023, these marketable securities were fair valued at $74.6 million and we recognized a $6.4 million gain on these marketable securities. Eagle Bulk is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Ticker: EGLE) and currently owns and operates a fleet of 52 Ultramax and Supramax bulk carriers that aggregate to approximately 3.2 million deadweight tons (“DWT”).

ZIM Equity Securities

On January 27, 2021, ZIM completed its initial public offering and listing on the New York Stock Exchange of its ordinary shares. Following this offering the Company owned 10,186,950 ordinary shares of ZIM. These shares were recorded at a book value of $75 thousands as of December 31, 2020. In 2021, we sold 3,000,000 ZIM ordinary shares resulting in net proceeds to us of $120.7 million. In April 2022, we sold 1,500,000 ZIM ordinary shares resulting in net proceeds to us of $85.3 million and we sold our remaining shareholding interest in ZIM of 5,686,950 ordinary shares for $161.3 million in September 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2022 we recognized a $176.4 million loss on these shares. Additionally we recognized dividend income on these shares amounting to $165.4 million gross of withholding taxes of $18.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 6, “Other Current and Non-current Assets” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Investments in Affiliates

In March 2023, we invested $4.3 million in the common shares of a newly established company Carbon Termination Technologies Corporation (“CTTC”), incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which represents a 49% ownership interest. CTTC currently engages in research and development of decarbonization technologies for the shipping industry. We use equity method of accounting for this investment. Our share of CTTC’s initial expenses amounted to $3.3 million and is presented under “Equity loss on investments” in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Acquisition of Capesize Bulk Carriers

Impact of the war in Ukraine on our Business

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2023, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and related sanctions imposed by the U.S., EU and others, adversely affect the crewing operations of our Manager, which has crewing offices in St. Petersburg, Odessa and Marioupol (damaged by the war), and trade patterns involving ports in the Black Sea or Russia, and as well as impacting world energy supply and creating uncertainties in the global economy, which in turn impact containership demand. The extent of the impact will depend largely on future developments.

The decrease was the result of: (i) $126.6 million in ZIM dividends that were collected during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to nil dividends collected from ZIM during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as we no longer held ZIM shares during the latter period, (ii) a $261.4 million decrease in cash operating revenues as a result of the charter revenue prepayment that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022, (iii) a $8.7 million decrease in operating revenues due to a decrease in the average number of vessels in our fleet as a result of vessel sales and (iv) a $4.9 million increase in drydocking expenses which were partially offset by: (i) a $35.9 million increase in operating revenues due to higher charter rates, (ii) a $21.0 million decrease in net finance costs and (iii) a $4.8 million improvement in cash operating expenses and working capital between the two periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes, however, that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. See the table below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation, as well as amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs, amortization of assumed time charters, amortization of deferred realized losses of cash flow interest rate swaps, amortization of finance costs, debt discount and commitment fees. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, taxes other than withholding taxes on dividends received, depreciation, amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs, amortization of assumed time charters, amortization of deferred realized losses of cash flow interest rate swaps, amortization of finance costs, debt discount and commitment fees, gain/loss on investments, gain/loss on debt extinguishment, gain on sale of vessels and stock-based compensation. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used: (i) by prospective and current customers as well as potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; and (ii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. Our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Because of these limitations, EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as principal indicators of our performance.

EBITDA decreased by $67.5 million, to $362.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $429.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was mainly attributed to (i) $138.4 million in dividends from ZIM (gross of withholding taxes) recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2022, (ii) a $25.2 million decrease in gain on debt extinguishment between the two periods, (iii) a $3.3 million equity loss on investments in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and (iv) a $1.9 million increase in total operating expenses between the two periods, which were partially offset by (i) a $75.5 million change in fair value of investments, (ii) a $24.2 million increase in operating revenues (excluding $20.0 million decrease in amortization of assumed time charters) and (iii) a $1.6 million gain on sale of vessel in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to no such gain in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $105.3 million, to $356.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $461.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was mainly attributed to (i) recognition of a $123.9 million dividend from ZIM (net of withholding taxes) in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to none in the six months ended June 30, 2023, (ii) a $2.3 million increase in total operating expenses and (iii) a $3.3 million equity loss on investments in the six months ended June 30, 2023, which were partially offset by a $24.2 million increase in operating revenues (excluding a $20.0 million decrease in amortization of assumed time charters). Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is adjusted for a $6.4 million change in fair value of investments, a $2.3 million loss on debt extinguishment and a $1.6 million gain on sale of vessel.

(1)As of June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, there was $360.0 million of remaining borrowing availability under our Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023, 44 of our vessels were unencumbered. For additional information regarding the credit facilities and related repayment schedule, please refer to Note 4 “Fixed Assets, net & Advances for Vessels under Construction” and Note 8 “Long-term Debt, net” in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Senior Notes

On February 11, 2021, we consummated an offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 8.500% Senior Notes due 2028 of Danaos Corporation, which we refer to as the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of Danaos Corporation.

10

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 11, 2021, between the Company and Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as trustee, paying agent, registrar and transfer agent. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.500% per year, payable in cash on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2021. The Senior Notes will mature on March 1, 2028.

In December 2022, we repurchased $37.2 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes in a privately negotiated transaction. For additional details regarding the Senior Notes please refer to Note 8, “Long-term Debt, net” in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects –Senior Notes” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2023.

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Swaps

In the past, we entered into interest rate swap agreements converting floating interest rate exposure into fixed interest rates in order to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates, as well as interest rate swap agreements converting the fixed rate we paid in connection with certain of our credit facilities into floating interest rates in order to economically hedge the fair value of the fixed rate credit facilities against fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates. All of these interest rate swap agreements have expired and we do not currently have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements. Refer to Note 9, “Financial Instruments”, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We did not enter into derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency translation of assets or liabilities or foreign currency transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Impact of Inflation and Interest Rates Risk on our Business

We continue to see near-term impacts on our business due to elevated inflation in the United States of America, Eurozone and other countries, including ongoing global prices pressures in the wake of the war in Ukraine, driving up energy and commodity prices, which continue to affect our operating expenses. Interest rates have increased rapidly and substantially as central banks in developed countries raise interest rates in an effort to subdue inflation. The eventual implications of tighter monetary policy, and potentially higher long-term interest rates may drive a higher cost of capital for our business.

Capitalization and Indebtedness

The table below sets forth our consolidated capitalization as of June 30, 2023.

on an actual basis; and
on an as adjusted basis to reflect, in the period from July 1, 2023 to August 4, 2023, the $1.0 million repurchase of 15,895 shares of our common stock.

11

Other than these adjustments, there have been no other material changes to our capitalization from debt or equity issuances, re-capitalizations, special dividends, or debt repayments as adjusted in the table below between July 1, 2023 and August 4, 2023.

Risk Factors

The following should be read in conjunction with the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023.

Charter rates for dry bulk vessels are volatile and may decrease in the future, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The dry bulk shipping industry continues to be cyclical with high volatility in charter rates and profitability among the various types of dry bulk vessels. In 2021, charter rates for dry bulk vessels increased significantly from lower levels that prevailed during previous years. The Baltic Dry Index, or the “BDI”, an index published by The Baltic Exchange of shipping rates for key dry bulk routes, declined in 2020, principally as a result of the global economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Strong global growth and increased infrastructure spending led to a rise in demand for commodities, which combined with a historically low orderbook and port delays and congestion, resulted in an increase in BDI in 2021 and the first half of 2022, before moderating and declining significantly in the second half of 2022 as port congestion eased and Chinese demand for drybulk commodities weakened and stood at the lows for the year at the end of December 2022, and had declined further in the first half of 2023.

The factors affecting the supply and demand for drybulk vessels are outside of our control and are difficult to predict with confidence. As a result, the nature, timing, direction and degree of changes in industry conditions are also unpredictable.

Factors that influence demand for drybulk vessel capacity include:

demand for and production of drybulk products;
supply of and demand for energy resources and commodities
the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors;
global and regional economic and political conditions, including weather, natural or other disasters (including the COVID-19 pandemic), armed conflicts (including the Ukraine conflict), terrorist activities and strikes;
environmental and other regulatory developments;
the location of regional and global exploration, production and manufacturing facilities and the distance drybulk cargoes are to be moved by sea;

15

changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns including shifts in the location of consuming regions for energy resources, commodities, and transportation demand for drybulk transportation;
international sanctions, embargoes, import and export restrictions, nationalizations and wars, including the conflict in Ukraine;
natural disaster and weather
trade disputes or the imposition of tariffs on various commodities or finished goods tariffs on imports and exports that could affect the international trade; and
currency exchange rates.

Factors that influence the supply of drybulk vessel capacity include:

the size of the newbuilding orderbook;
the prevailing and anticipated freight rates which in turn affect the rate of newbuilding;
availability of financing for new vessels;
the number of newbuild deliveries, including slippage in deliveries, which, among other factors, relates to the ability of shipyards to deliver newbuilds by contracted delivery dates and the ability of purchasers to finance such newbuilds;
the scrapping rate of older vessels, depending, amongst other things, on scrapping rates and international scrapping regulations;
the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors, including port lockdowns, higher crew cost and travel restrictions imposed by governments around the world;
port and canal congestion;
the speed of vessel operation which may be influenced by several reasons including energy cost and environmental regulations;
sanctions;
the number of vessels that are in or out of service, delayed in ports for several reasons, laid-up, dry docked awaiting repairs or otherwise not available for hire, including due to vessel casualties;
changes in environmental and other regulations that may limit the useful lives of vessels or effectively cause reductions in the carrying capacity of vessels or early obsolescence of tonnage; and
our ability to maintain ESG practices acceptable to customers, regulators and financing sources.

Factors influencing the supply of and demand for shipping capacity are outside of our control, and we may not be able to correctly assess the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry conditions. We anticipate that the future demand for our drybulk vessels and, in turn, drybulk charter rates, will be dependent, among other things, upon economic growth in the world’s economies, seasonal and regional changes in demand, changes in the capacity of the global drybulk vessel fleet and the sources and supply of drybulk cargo to be transported by sea. A decline in demand for commodities transported in drybulk vessels or an increase in supply of drybulk vessels could cause a significant decline in charter rates, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance as to the sustainability of future economic growth, if any, due to unexpected demand shocks.

16

The operation of dry bulk vessels entails certain unique operational risks.

The operation of certain ship types, such as dry bulk vessels, has certain unique risks. With a dry bulk vessel, the cargo itself and its interaction with the ship can be a risk factor. By their nature, dry bulk cargoes are often heavy, dense, easily shifted, and react badly to water exposure. In addition, dry bulk vessels are often subjected to battering treatment during unloading operations with grabs, jackhammers (to pry encrusted cargoes out of the hold), and small bulldozers. This treatment may cause damage to the vessel. Vessels damaged due to treatment during unloading procedures may be more susceptible to breach at sea. Furthermore, any defects or flaws in the design of a dry bulk vessel may contribute to vessel damage. Hull breaches in dry bulk vessels may lead to the flooding of the vessels holds. If a dry bulk vessel suffers flooding in its holds, the bulk cargo may become so dense and waterlogged that its pressure may buckle the vessel’s bulkheads, leading to the loss of the vessel. If we are unable to adequately maintain our vessels, we may be unable to prevent these events.

Any of these circumstances or events could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to pay dividends, if any, in the future. In addition, the loss of any of our dry bulk vessels could harm our reputation as a safe and reliable vessel owner and operator.

Forward Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning our operations, cash flows, financial position, including with respect to vessel and other asset values, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, performance or business prospects, changes and trends in our business and the markets in which we operate, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions. Although Danaos Corporation 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, Danaos Corporation cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include any resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts throughout the world to contain its spread, including effects on global economic activity, demand for seaborne transportation of containerized and drybulk cargo, the ability and willingness of charterers to fulfill their obligations to us, charter rates for containerships and drybulk carriers, shipyards constructing our contracted newbuilding vessels, performing scrubber installations, drydocking and repairs, changing vessel crews and availability of financing, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, charter counterparty performance, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, our ability to operate profitably in the drybulk sector, our ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in our financing arrangements, actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events, including the conflict in Ukraine and related sanctions, or acts by terrorists.

Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

(3)The Company held the Amalia C for sale as of December 31, 2022 and completed the sale in January 2023.

Impact of the war in Ukraine on the Company’s Business

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2023, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and related sanctions imposed by the U.S., EU and others, adversely affect the crewing operations of the Company’s Manager, which has crewing offices in St. Petersburg, Odessa and Mariupol (damaged by the war), and trade patterns involving ports in the Black Sea or Russia, and as well as impacting world energy supply and creating uncertainties in the global economy, which in turn impact containership demand. The extent of the impact will depend largely on future developments.

2     Significant Accounting Policies

For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

3     Investments in Affiliates

In March 2023, the Company invested $4.3 million in the common shares of a newly established company Carbon Termination Technologies Corporation (“CTTC”), incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which represents the Company’s 49% ownership interest. CTTC currently engages in research and development of decarbonization technologies for the shipping industry. Equity method of accounting is used for this investment. The Company’s share of CTTC’s initial expenses amounted to $3.3 million and is presented under “Equity loss on investments” in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

4     Fixed Assets, net & Advances for Vessels under Construction

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into contracts, as amended on April 21, 2022, for the construction of four 8,000 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2024. On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of two 7,100 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2024. On April 28, 2023, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of two 6,000 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2024 and 2025. On June 20, 2023, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of two 8,200 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2026. The aggregate purchase price of the vessel construction contracts amounts to $834.9 million. The remaining contractual commitments under vessel construction contracts are analyzed as follows as of June 30, 2023 (in thousands):

Additionally, a supervision fee of $725 thousand per newbuilding vessel will be payable to Danaos Shipping Company Limited (the “Manager”) over the construction period. Supervision fees totaling $1.1 million were charged by the Manager and capitalized to the vessels under construction in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Interest expense amounting to $5.0 million was capitalized to the vessels under construction in the year ended December 31, 2022 and $7.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

On December 23, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the vessel Amalia C for an aggregate gross consideration of $5.1 million, which was delivered to its buyers in January 2023 resulting in a $1.6 million gain separately presented under “Gain on sale of vessels” in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The vessel was presented as held for sale under “Other current assets” and a $1.0 million advance payment received for sale of the vessel was presented under “Other current liabilities” as of December 31, 2022. On January 17, 2022, the Company entered into agreement to sell its vessels Catherine C and Leo C for aggregate gross consideration of $130.0 million, out of which $13.0 million were advanced by the buyers in January 2022. The vessels were delivered to their buyers in November 2022 resulting in a $37.2 million gain.

The Company assumed time charter liabilities related to its acquisition of vessels in the second half of 2021. The amortization of these assumed time charters amounted to $12.4 million and $32.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively and is presented under “Operating revenues” in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The remaining unamortized amount of $13.4 million is presented under “Unearned revenue, current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and is expected to be amortized into “Operating revenues” in the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company concluded that events and circumstances triggered the existence of potential impairment for some of the Company’s vessels. These indicators included volatility in the charter market and the vessels’ market values, as well as the potential impact the current marketplace may have on its future operations. As a result, the Company performed step one of the impairment assessment for some of the Company’s vessels by comparing the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each of these vessels to its carrying values. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s assessment concluded that step two of the impairment analysis was not required for any vessel, as the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows of all vessels exceeded the carrying value of the respective vessels.

The residual value (estimated scrap value at the end of the vessels’ useful lives) of the fleet was estimated at $484.3 million and $487.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company has calculated the residual value of the vessels taking into consideration the 10 year average and the 5 year average of the scrap prices. The Company has applied uniformly the scrap value of $300 per ton for all vessels. The Company believes that $300 per ton is a reasonable estimate of future scrap prices, taking into consideration the cyclicality of the nature of future demand for scrap steel. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to determine the scrap rate are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective, in part, because of the cyclical nature of future demand for scrap steel.

On May 12, 2020, the Company refinanced the existing leaseback obligation related to the vessels Hyundai Honour and Hyundai Respect with a new sale and leaseback arrangement with Oriental Fleet International Company Limited (“Oriental Fleet”) amounting to $139.1 million with a four years term, at the end of which the Company would reacquire these vessels. This arrangement did not qualify for a sale of the vessels and the net proceeds were recognized as a financial leaseback liability. In January 2023, the Company gave early termination notice to Oriental Fleet and fully repaid its outstanding leaseback obligation related to these two vessels on May 12, 2023. The early termination resulted in a loss of $2.3 million, which is presented under “Loss on debt extinguishment” in the consolidated statement of income.

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for drydocking and special survey costs in accordance with accounting for planned major maintenance activities, whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled survey, which is two and a half years. If special survey or drydocking is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. Furthermore, when a vessel is drydocked for more than one reporting period, the respective costs are identified and recorded in the period in which they were incurred and not at the conclusion of the drydocking.

9     Financial Instruments

The following is a summary of the Company’s risk management strategies and the effect of these strategies on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk arises on bank borrowings. The Company monitors the interest rate on borrowings closely to ensure that the borrowings are maintained at favorable rates.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with established financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties, however, the Company limits this exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings. The Company depends upon a limited number of customers for a large part of its revenues. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally managed by the selection of customers among the major liner companies in the world and their dispersion across many geographic areas.

Fair Value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities (excluding long-term bank loans and certain other non-current assets) approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term floating rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of senior unsecured notes is measured based on quoted market prices. The fair value of marketable securities is measured based on the closing price of the securities on the NYSE.

a. Interest Rate Swap Hedges

The Company currently has no outstanding interest rate swaps agreements. However, in the past years, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with its lenders in order to manage its floating rate exposure. Certain variable-rate interests on specific borrowings were associated with vessels under construction and were capitalized as a cost of the specific vessels. In accordance with the accounting guidance on derivatives and hedging, the amounts related to realized gains or losses on cash flow hedges that have been entered into and qualified for hedge accounting, in order to hedge the variability of that interest, were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified into earnings over the depreciable life of the constructed asset, since that depreciable life coincides with the amortization period for the capitalized interest cost on the debt. An amount of $1.8 million was reclassified into earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, representing its amortization over the depreciable life of the vessels. An amount of $3.6 million is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

b. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy.

Level I: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

Level II: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level III: Inputs that are unobservable. The Company did not use any Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

12    Lease Arrangements

Charters-out

As of June 30, 2023, the Company generated operating revenues from its 68 vessels on time charters or bareboat charter agreements, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to June 2028. Under the terms of the charter party agreements, most charterers have options to extend the duration of contracts ranging from less than one year to three years after the expiration of the contract. The Company determines fair value of its vessels at the lease commencement date and at the end of lease term for lease classification with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers. The Company manages its risk associated with the residual value of its vessels after the expiration of the charter party agreements by seeking multi-year charter arrangements for its vessels.

In May 2022, the Company received $238.9 million of charter hire prepayment related to charter contracts for 15 of the Company’s vessels, representing partial prepayment of charter hire payable up to January 2027. This charter hire prepayment is recognized in revenue through the remaining period of each charter party agreement, in addition to the contracted future minimum payments reflected in the below table. The future minimum payments, expected to be received on non-cancellable time charters and bareboat charters classified as operating leases consisted of the following as of June 30, 2023 (in thousands):

Impact of the war in Ukraine on the Company’s Business

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2023, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and related sanctions imposed by the U.S., EU and others, adversely affect the crewing operations of the Company’s Manager, which has crewing offices in St. Petersburg, Odessa and Mariupol (damaged by the war), and trade patterns involving ports in the Black Sea or Russia, and as well as impacting world energy supply and creating uncertainties in the global economy, which in turn impact containership demand. The extent of the impact will depend largely on future developments.

Additionally, a supervision fee of $725 thousand per newbuilding vessel will be payable to Danaos Shipping Company Limited (the “Manager”) over the construction period. Supervision fees totaling $1.1 million were charged by the Manager and capitalized to the vessels under construction in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Interest expense amounting to $5.0 million was capitalized to the vessels under construction in the year ended December 31, 2022 and $7.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

On December 23, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the vessel Amalia C for an aggregate gross consideration of $5.1 million, which was delivered to its buyers in January 2023 resulting in a $1.6 million gain separately presented under “Gain on sale of vessels” in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The vessel was presented as held for sale under “Other current assets” and a $1.0 million advance payment received for sale of the vessel was presented under “Other current liabilities” as of December 31, 2022. On January 17, 2022, the Company entered into agreement to sell its vessels Catherine C and Leo C for aggregate gross consideration of $130.0 million, out of which $13.0 million were advanced by the buyers in January 2022. The vessels were delivered to their buyers in November 2022 resulting in a $37.2 million gain.

The Company assumed time charter liabilities related to its acquisition of vessels in the second half of 2021. The amortization of these assumed time charters amounted to $12.4 million and $32.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively and is presented under “Operating revenues” in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The remaining unamortized amount of $13.4 million is presented under “Unearned revenue, current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and is expected to be amortized into “Operating revenues” in the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company concluded that events and circumstances triggered the existence of potential impairment for some of the Company’s vessels. These indicators included volatility in the charter market and the vessels’ market values, as well as the potential impact the current marketplace may have on its future operations. As a result, the Company performed step one of the impairment assessment for some of the Company’s vessels by comparing the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each of these vessels to its carrying values. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s assessment concluded that step two of the impairment analysis was not required for any vessel, as the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows of all vessels exceeded the carrying value of the respective vessels.

The residual value (estimated scrap value at the end of the vessels’ useful lives) of the fleet was estimated at $484.3 million and $487.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company has calculated the residual value of the vessels taking into consideration the 10 year average and the 5 year average of the scrap prices. The Company has applied uniformly the scrap value of $300 per ton for all vessels. The Company believes that $300 per ton is a reasonable estimate of future scrap prices, taking into consideration the cyclicality of the nature of future demand for scrap steel. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to determine the scrap rate are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective, in part, because of the cyclical nature of future demand for scrap steel.

On May 12, 2020, the Company refinanced the existing leaseback obligation related to the vessels Hyundai Honour and Hyundai Respect with a new sale and leaseback arrangement with Oriental Fleet International Company Limited (“Oriental Fleet”) amounting to $139.1 million with a four years term, at the end of which the Company would reacquire these vessels. This arrangement did not qualify for a sale of the vessels and the net proceeds were recognized as a financial leaseback liability. In January 2023, the Company gave early termination notice to Oriental Fleet and fully repaid its outstanding leaseback obligation related to these two vessels on May 12, 2023. The early termination resulted in a loss of $2.3 million, which is presented under “Loss on debt extinguishment” in the consolidated statement of income.

Financial Instruments

9     Financial Instruments

The following is a summary of the Company’s risk management strategies and the effect of these strategies on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk arises on bank borrowings. The Company monitors the interest rate on borrowings closely to ensure that the borrowings are maintained at favorable rates.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with established financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties, however, the Company limits this exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings. The Company depends upon a limited number of customers for a large part of its revenues. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally managed by the selection of customers among the major liner companies in the world and their dispersion across many geographic areas.

Fair Value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities (excluding long-term bank loans and certain other non-current assets) approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term floating rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of senior unsecured notes is measured based on quoted market prices. The fair value of marketable securities is measured based on the closing price of the securities on the NYSE.

a. Interest Rate Swap Hedges

The Company currently has no outstanding interest rate swaps agreements. However, in the past years, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with its lenders in order to manage its floating rate exposure. Certain variable-rate interests on specific borrowings were associated with vessels under construction and were capitalized as a cost of the specific vessels. In accordance with the accounting guidance on derivatives and hedging, the amounts related to realized gains or losses on cash flow hedges that have been entered into and qualified for hedge accounting, in order to hedge the variability of that interest, were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified into earnings over the depreciable life of the constructed asset, since that depreciable life coincides with the amortization period for the capitalized interest cost on the debt. An amount of $1.8 million was reclassified into earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, representing its amortization over the depreciable life of the vessels. An amount of $3.6 million is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

b. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy.

Level I: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

Level II: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level III: Inputs that are unobservable. The Company did not use any Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

As of April 18, 2008, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved incentive compensation of the Manager’s employees with its shares from time to time, after specific for each such time, decision by the compensation committee and the Board of Directors in order to provide a means of compensation in the form of free shares to certain employees of the Manager of the Company’s common stock. The plan was effective as of December 31, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the plan, employees of the Manager may receive (from time to time) shares of the Company’s common stock as additional compensation for their services offered during the preceding period. The total amount of stock to be granted to employees of the Manager will be at the Company’s Board of Directors’ discretion only and there will be no contractual obligation for any stock to be granted as part of the employees’ compensation package in future periods.

On March 16, 2021, the Company granted 40,000 shares to certain employees of the Manager, out of which 10,000 fully vested on the grant date, 1,050 were forfeited and 9,650 restricted shares vested on December 31, 2021.

On December 14, 2022, the Company granted 100,000 fully vested shares to executive officers.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock for which awards may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares plus the number of unvested shares granted before August 2, 2019. The equity awards may be granted by the Company’s Compensation Committee or Board of Directors under its amended and restated 2006 equity compensation plan.

Charters-out

As of June 30, 2023, the Company generated operating revenues from its 68 vessels on time charters or bareboat charter agreements, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to June 2028. Under the terms of the charter party agreements, most charterers have options to extend the duration of contracts ranging from less than one year to three years after the expiration of the contract. The Company determines fair value of its vessels at the lease commencement date and at the end of lease term for lease classification with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers. The Company manages its risk associated with the residual value of its vessels after the expiration of the charter party agreements by seeking multi-year charter arrangements for its vessels.

In May 2022, the Company received $238.9 million of charter hire prepayment related to charter contracts for 15 of the Company’s vessels, representing partial prepayment of charter hire payable up to January 2027. This charter hire prepayment is recognized in revenue through the remaining period of each charter party agreement, in addition to the contracted future minimum payments reflected in the below table. The future minimum payments, expected to be received on non-cancellable time charters and bareboat charters classified as operating leases consisted of the following as of June 30, 2023 (in thousands):
