Forward looking statements

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, the information under "Fleet status report" and "The supply situation," vessel orders and order book, expected trends regarding iron ore demand, expected trends on emission pricing, 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," statements about our dividend objective and plans, 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; charter rates, operating days for our fleet and 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, hostilities 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; the risk of a continued economic slowdown in China and continued weakness in the Chinese property sector and risks relating to Chinese steel demand; global economic and trade conditions, the impact of tariffs and trade wars, wars and geopolitical events and the risk of heightened geopolitical tensions; the progress and outcome of projects in Guinea and Brazil, including timing of completion of such projects and impact on the Capesize market; our ability to pay dividends and the amount of dividends we ultimately pay; risks related to climate change, including climatechange 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 impact of the foregoing on 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

2 This presentation contains certain selected financial measures on a basis other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including EBITDA, average TCE earnings, gross, and illustrative free cash flow. EBITDA represents our net income plus depreciation of vessels and equipment; total financial expenses, net; and income tax expense. 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 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 June 30, 2025, Appendix entitled "Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures And Reconciliations". For a discussion of illustrative free cash flow, see slide 11 including the footnotes thereto. We are unable to prepare a reconciliation of illustrative free cash flow without unreasonable efforts.

  • Operating revenues decreased \$1.3 million compared to Q2 2024 due to reduced average TCE, gross, from approx. US\$34,600/day in Q2 2024 to US\$28,400/day in Q2 2025, mainly offset by more operational days, 1,092 in Q2 2025 vs 935 in Q2 2024, due to vessel deliveries in 2024.
  • Vessel operating expenses increased by \$1.5 million compared to Q2 2024 primarily due to more operational days in Q2 2025.
  • General and administrative expenses increased by \$0.2 million compared to Q2 2024 primarily due to fees in connection with the transfer from Euronext Expand to Euronext Oslo Bors.
  • Interest expense increased by \$1.8 million due to draw downs on the sale leaseback financing in connection with vessel deliveries during 2024.

Mandatory dry docking to increase in 2025

  • % off hire ~50% y/y increase in estimated offshire days due to DD in '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)
    • 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
