These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and are based upon current estimates, expectations, beliefs, and various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, and a number of such assumptions are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. These statements involve significant risks, uncertainties, contingencies and factors that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, and that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from what is expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.

Numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in the forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: general economic, political and business conditions; general dry bulk market conditions, including fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel values; our ability to meet the conditions and covenants in our financing agreements; changes in demand in the dry bulk shipping industry, including the market for our vessels; changes in the supply of dry bulk vessels; our ability to successfully re-employ our dry bulk vessels at the end of their current charters and the terms of future charters; changes in our operating expenses, including fuel or bunker prices, dry docking and insurance costs; changes in governmental regulation, tax and trade matters and actions taken by regulatory authorities; compliance with, and our liabilities under governmental, tax, environmental and safety laws and regulations; potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events; our ability to refinance our debt as it falls due; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; potential conflicts of interest involving members of our board and management and our significant shareholder; our ability to pay dividends and the amount of dividends we ultimately pay; risks related to climate change, including climate-change or greenhouse gas related legislation or regulations and the impact on our business from climate-change related physical changes or changes in weather patterns, and the potential impact of new regulations relating to climate change, as well as the performance of our vessels; other factors that may affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations; and other risks described under "Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2024.

The foregoing factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statement included in this report should not be construed as exhaustive. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this investor presentation. Except as required by law, Himalaya Shipping undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements after the date of this investor presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains certain selected financial measures on a basis other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including Adjusted EBITDA, average TCE earnings, gross, and illustrative free cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA represents our net income plus depreciation of vessels and equipment; total financial expenses, net; and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is presented here because the Company believes this measure increases comparability of total business performance from period to period and against the performance of other companies. Average TCE earnings, gross, as presented here, represents time charter revenues and voyage charter revenues adding back address commissions and divided by operational days. Average TCE earnings, gross, is presented here because the Company believes this measure provides additional meaningful information for investors to analyse our fleets' daily income performance. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and average TCE earnings, gross, to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP, please see the section of our preliminary results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, Appendix entitled "Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures And Reconciliations". For a discussion of illustrative free cash flow, see slide 12 including the footnotes thereto. We are unable to prepare a reconciliation of illustrative free cash flow without unreasonable efforts.

Capesize+ fleet by delivery year in # ships

60% of the fleet >20 years by 2033

Drydock data implies up to 2-3% further supply restrictions fleet-wide over the next 3 years

  • 52% increase in estimatated supply outtake due to DD '24->'25
  • 2010 was a big delivery year - hence over 10% of the fleet will engage in 15 year SS in 2025 (23% of the cape fleet will need dry dock in total)

Average capesize fleet age:

  • With an aging fleet forced to drydock or be scrapped, this will be an additional positive impact on cape/newc freight rates
  • The large number of dry dockings in 2025 may lead to yard congestion
