This results presentation and any related discussions, including any related written or oral statements made by us, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not reflect historical facts and may be identified by words such as "aim", "believe," "assuming," "anticipate," "could", "expect", "intend," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "likely to," "due to," "plan," "potential," "will," "may," "should," "indicative," "illustrative," "potential" or other similar expressions and include statements about plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, including outlook, prospects, expected cash break-even, illustrative free cash flow per share and earnings potential based on different scenarios and assumptions, the terms of our charters and chartering activity, dry bulk industry trends and market outlook, including market conditions and activity levels in the industry, expected demand for vessels and expected drivers of demand including projects and underlying assumptions, utilization of the global fleet and our fleet, including expected average rates and the information under "Chartering position" and "The supply situation," fleet growth, vessel orders and order book, expected trends regarding iron ore demand, mandatory dry docking trends and impacts on expected supply of dry bulk vessels and yard capacity, including the information under "Mandatory dry docking to increase in 2025," replacement needs, statements about our dividend objective and plans,, expectations on demand, and other non-historical statements. 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 achieve charter rates above our break-even rate; changes in demand in the dry bulk shipping industry, including the market for our vessels; demand for the products our vessels carry and the status of projects, and timing and number of production of projects that produce iron ore and other products we ship; 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; compliance with, and our liabilities under governmental, tax, environmental and safety laws and regulations; changes in governmental regulation, tax and trade matters and actions taken by regulatory authorities; 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, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2025.
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.
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; (income) from equity method investment; 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 March 31, 2025, Appendix entitled "Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures And Reconciliations". For a discussion of illustrative free cash flow, see slide 10 including the footnotes thereto. We are unable to prepare a reconciliation of illustrative free cash flow without unreasonable efforts.
