DRY BULK MARKET UPDATE

DRY BULK SUPPLY / DEMAND & UTILIZATION

Utilization improved over the course of the second quarter following increased capacity at the end of the first quarter due to easing of port delays

SUPPLY, DEMAND AND UTILIZATION RATE - DRY BULK SHIPS 10,000 DWT +

GROWTH IN SEABORNE TRADE CONTINUES

Continued year-over-year increases in imports during the second quarter due to pickup in agribulks and minor bulks

SEABORNE TRADE OF DRY BULK COMMODITIES (MAJOR IMPORTERS)

WORLD STEEL PRODUCTION TRENDS INTACT

Continued strong steel production growth both in China and globally

ANNUAL CHANGE IN STEEL PRODUCTION

STEEL MARGINS AND IRON ORE PRICE DIFFERENTIALS SUPPORTIVE

GROSS PROFIT (STEEL PRICE MINUS COST OF COKING COAL AND IRON ORE; ALL PRICES SPOT)

Gross profit using Cn coking coal price, Au iron ore price and Tangshan steel billett price

IRON ORE PRICE DIFFERENTIALS

AUSTRALIA AND BRAZIL REMAIN MAJOR IRON ORE EXPORTERS

QUARTERLY EXPORTED IRON ORE VOLUMES PER COUNTRY

COAL IMPORTS REMAINS HEALTHY, AND INVENTORIES STILL AT RELATIVELY LOW LEVELS

COAL IMPORTS BY MAJOR IMPORTERS CHINA AND INDIA COAL INVENTORIES

CONTINUED GROWTH IN ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION SUPPORTS COAL DEMAND

CHINESE ELECTRICITY OUTPUT

CHINESE ELECTRICITY OUTPUT BY SOURCE

U.S. GRAIN EXPORTS STRONG AHEAD OF THREATENED TARIFFS; TOTAL VOLUMES GROWING

GRAIN EXPORTS BY SOURCE

SOYBEAN AND SOYBEAN MEAL EXPORTS BY SOURCE

NET FLEET GROWTH INCREASED SLIGHTLY COMPARED TO THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2017 DUE TO LOW SCRAPPING YTD

HANDYMAX / SUPRAMAX HANDYSIZE

CAPESIZE PANAMAX / POST-PANAMAX

PROJECTED FLEET GROWTH STILL MODERATE

Forecasted fleet growth is still moderate, despite new ordering observed; any additional capacity from now expected to be placed in 2020 or later

FLEET GROWTH (ASSUMES NO SCRAPPING OR NEW ORDERING)

DOWNSIDE CASE FOR SUPPLY GROWTH

Continued slippage is expected as ~39% of vessels scheduled for delivery over the next 12 months have not even commenced construction

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

EXPECTATION FOR CONTINUED STRONG MARKET FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR WITH NORMAL SEASONALITY GOING INTO 2019

UPSIDE POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE RISKS

  • Increased tonne-miles if additional iron ore capacity comes from Brazil
  • Coal demand grows due to increased consumption as domestic production in India and China lag
  • China implements additional stimulus measures to offset potential impact of tariffs
  • More tonne-miles due to longer sailing distances on as demand increases in Asia replace European demand
  • Removal of older vessels ahead of BWTS and sulphur emissions regulations

  • Lower steel margins impact import / export volumes

  • Increase use of scrap steel and draw down of iron ore inventories in China
  • Trade tensions reduce global trade
  • Economic activity decreases in China, leading to lower consumption of steel and energy
  • New ordering increases fleet growth expectations for 2020+

COMPETITIVE CASH COSTS DRIVE EARNINGS

  • Fully-burdened Opex includes dry docking and management fees
  • G&A net of management fees are estimated to be approximately \$400 per day in 2018 on a fully delivered fleet
  • Average margin above LIBOR on bank financing is competitive at ~2.3%
  • Majority of bank debt has 20 year profile (adjusted for year of age)
