The impact of adoption of ASC 606 was not material to our reported financial position or the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Net time and voyage charter revenues

Net time and voyage charter revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $74.9 million compared with $53.6 million recorded in the comparable quarter in 2017. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the improving dry bulk market resulting in higher charter rates as well as an increase in available days due to an increase in our owned fleet and chartered in vessels.

Net time and voyage charter revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $154.3 million and $99.5 million, respectively. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the owned fleet with the purchase of 11 Ultramax vessels partially offset by the sale of five vessels since second quarter of 2017, along with an increase in chartered in vessels as well as higher charter rates due to an improving dry bulk market.

Voyage expenses

Voyage expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $17.2 million compared to $13.4 million in the comparable quarter in 2017. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in the fleet size, an increase in the number of voyage charters performed in the current quarter compared to the comparable quarter in the prior year as well as increased bunker prices year over year.

Voyage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $39.7 million and $26.7 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the fleet size as well as the number of voyage charters performed in the current period compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in bunker prices year over year contributed to the increase in voyage expenses as well.

Vessel expenses

Vessel expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $20.6 million compared to $19.3 million in the comparable quarter in 2017. The increase in vessel expenses is attributable to the increase in the owned fleet after the acquisition of 11 Ultramax vessels during 2017 and 2018 which was partially offset by vessel sales in 2017 and 2018. The Company sold the vessel Redwing in the first quarter of 2017, the Sparrow in the second quarter of 2017, the Woodstar in the third quarter of 2017 and the Wren in the fourth quarter of 2017. The vessel Avocet was sold in the second quarter of 2018.  The ownership days for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 were 4,294 and 3,878, respectively.

Average daily vessel operating expenses for our fleet for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 were $4,792 and $4,979, respectively. The decrease in daily average vessel operating expenses is primarily due to savings in repairs expense incurred on vessels sold.

Vessel expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $41.7 million and $37.3 million, respectively. The increase in vessel expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in the owned fleet after the acquisition of 11 Ultramax vessels during 2017 and 2018 which was partially offset by vessel sales.  The ownership days for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 8,606 and 7,564, respectively.

Average daily vessel operating expenses for our fleet for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $4,840 and $4,927, respectively.

Charter hire expenses

Charter hire expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $10.1 million compared to $6.4 million in the comparable quarter in 2017. The increase in charter hire expenses was principally due to an increase in the number of chartered in vessels on a short-term basis as we expand on our owner-operator platform as well as an increase in the average charter hire expense per day. The total chartered in days for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were 867 compared to 744 for the comparable quarter in the prior year.

Charter hire expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $20.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The increase in charter hire expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of chartered in vessels as well as an increase in the average charter hire expense per day due to improvement in the drybulk market. The total chartered in days for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 1,811 and 1,258, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $9.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Total depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 includes $8.0 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and $1.3 million relating to the amortization of deferred drydocking costs. Comparable amounts for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $7.0 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and $1.0 million of amortization of deferred drydocking costs. The increase in depreciation was primarily due to the purchase of 10 Ultramax vessels during 2017 and one in January 2018 offset by the sale of two vessels during the second half of 2017, one vessel in the second quarter of 2018 and one vessel classified as held for sale since the first quarter of 2018. The amortization of drydock expense increased in the current quarter compared to the comparable quarter in the prior year primarily due to the completion of three drydockings in 2017 and six in the first half of 2018.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $18.5 million and $15.5 million, respectively. Total depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $16.0 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and $2.5 million relating to the amortization of deferred drydocking costs. Comparable amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $13.5 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and $2.0 million of amortization of deferred drydocking costs. The increase in depreciation was primarily due to the purchase of 10 Ultramax vessels during 2017 and one in January 2018 offset by the sale of two vessels in the second half of 2017 and one vessel in the second quarter of 2018 and one vessel classified as held for sale since the first quarter of 2018. The amortization of drydock expense increased in the current period compared to the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to the completion of three drydockings in 2017 and six in the first half of the 2018.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $8.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses include stock-based compensation of $2.4 million and $2.5 million for 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to increases in compensation expense relating to incremental staff hired in connection with the increased fleet size under our owner-operator business model.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $18.8 million and $16.4 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses include stock-based compensation of $5.9 million and $4.6 million for 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to higher stock-based compensation expense and compensation expense offset by savings in advisors' fees.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $6.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is mainly due to the decrease in amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs by $1.0 million resulting from the debt refinancing in December 2017 where the high interest bearing Second Lien Facility was repaid in full, offset by an increase in the interest expense of $0.9 million on the Ultraco Debt Facility, which was used for the acquisition of 10 Ultramax vessels.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018  and 2017 was $12.6 million and $13.3 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is mainly due to the decrease in amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs by $1.9 million resulting from the debt refinancing in December 2017 where the high interest bearing Second Lien Facility was repaid in full offset by increase in the interest expense of $1.7 million on the Ultraco Debt Facility and $0.4 million due to increase in the LIBOR rate year over year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $24.8 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $5.3 million in the comparable six month period in 2017. The cash flows from operating activities improved over the prior year primarily due to an increase in charter hire rates driven by improvement in the dry bulk market and positive working capital change as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, partially offset by higher drydocking expenditures of $4.6 million in 2018 compared to $0.3 million in the comparable period in the prior year.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $6.1 million, compared to $131.8 million in the comparable six month period in the prior year. The Company purchased one Ultramax vessel in the first quarter of 2018 for $21.3 million out of which the Company paid a deposit of $2.2 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company redeemed a short-term certificate of deposit amounting to $4.5 million during the first quarter of 2018. The Company sold the vessel Avocet in the second quarter of 2018 for net proceeds of $9.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company purchased seven Ultramax vessels for $120.9 million and paid $20.9 million as an advance towards purchase of the additional three Ultramax vessels which were delivered in the third quarter of 2017.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $2.0 million compared with $129.2 million in the comparable six month period in 2017. The Company drew down $8.6 million under the Ultraco Debt Facility in connection with the purchase of one Ultramax vessel, offset by repayment of $5.0 million for the Revolving Loan under the New First Lien Facility. The Company paid $1.4 million of debt issuance costs on the three existing debt facilities and $0.3 million towards shares withheld for taxes due to vesting of restricted shares.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company received net proceeds of $96.0 million in a common stock private placement that closed on January 20, 2017. The Company received $40.0 million from the Ultraco Debt Facility and paid $1.5 million of other financing costs. Additionally, the Company repaid $5.3 million of its Term Loan under the First Lien Facility from the proceeds of the sale of the vessels Redwing and Sparrow.

As of June 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $76.9 million compared to a cash and cash equivalents balance of $56.3 million as of December 31, 2017.

As of June 30, 2018, the total availability in the revolving credit facilities under the Super Senior Facility and the New First Lien Facility was $20.0 million.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s debt consisted of $200.0 million in outstanding bonds, $60.0 million in term loan under the New First Lien Facility and $69.8 million under the Ultraco Debt Facility.

Capital Expenditures and Drydocking

Our capital expenditures relate to the purchase of vessels and capital improvements to our vessels which are expected to enhance the revenue earning capabilities and safety of these vessels.

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, the Company's other major capital expenditures include funding the Company's program of regularly scheduled drydocking necessary to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Although the Company has some flexibility regarding the timing of its drydocking, the costs are relatively predictable. Management anticipates that vessels are to be drydocked every two and a half years for vessels older than 15 years and five years for vessels younger than 15 years. Funding of these requirements is anticipated to be met with cash from operations. We anticipate that this process of recertification will require us to reposition these vessels from a discharge port to shipyard facilities, which will reduce our available days and operating days during that period.

Drydocking costs incurred are deferred and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period through the date of the next scheduled drydocking for those vessels. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, six of our vessels completed drydock and two of our vessels are still in drydock as of June 30, 2018 and we incurred $4.6 million in drydocking related costs. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, one vessel was drydocked.

The following table represents certain information about the estimated costs for anticipated vessel drydockings in the next four quarters, along with the anticipated off-hire days:

Reconciliation of Net income/(loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to the Company’s financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) included in this press release, the Company has provided certain financial measures that are not calculated according to GAAP, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as net income /(loss) under GAAP attributable to the Company adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and 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, gain /(loss) on sale of vessels, restructuring expenses and stock-based compensation expenses that the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of our net income/(loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Reconciliation of net revenues to 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. Owned available days is the number of our ownership days 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.

Glossary of Terms:

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

Chartered-in under operating lease days: We define chartered-in under operating lease days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which we chartered-in vessels. Periodically, the Company charters in vessels on a single trip basis.

Available days: We define available days as the number of our ownership days and chartered-in days 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.

Operating days: We define operating days as 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.

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