Key information and management commentary
| · | The
Company paid a dividend of approximately $14.5 million, or $0.45 per share, in December 2024. |
| · | TCE
revenue in Q4 2024 decreased by 15%, compared to Q4 2023, primarily due to a corresponding
decline in TCE rates. |
| · | Voyage expenses for Q4 2024 of $35.0 million, up from $32.2 million in Q4 2023. The 9% increase is mostly attributable to the higher spot exposure. |
| · | Interest
and finance costs for Q4 2024 of $12.3 million, down from $15.1 million in Q4 2023. The decrease
is mainly due to a decrease in total indebtedness, excluding deferred financing fees, from $693.3 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 to $645.6 million in the twelve
months ended December 31, 2024, along with a decrease in the margin payable under our existing loans. |
| · | The
Company recorded a profit of $13.2 million in Q4 2024, compared to a profit of $21.3 million
in Q4 2023. The decrease derives mainly from the lower revenues generated from operations. |
Fleet
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s
fleet was comprised of the following 14 vessels with an average age of 5.4 years and aggregate capacity of approximately 3.5 million deadweight
tons:
| · | six
Suezmax vessels with an average age of 6.3 years; and |
| · | eight
VLCC vessels with an average age of 4.7 years. |

USE AND RECONCILIATION OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE
MEASURES
The Group evaluates its vessels’ operations
and financial results principally by assessing their revenue generation (and not by the type of vessel, employment, customer, or type
of charter). Among others, Daily TCE rate, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Daily Opex, Adjusted Profit/(loss) and Adjusted Earnings/(loss) per
share are used as key performance indicators.
Daily TCE
In the shipping industry, economic decisions
are based on vessels’ deployment upon anticipated TCE rates and time charter equivalent revenue, and industry analysts typically measure
shipping freight rates in terms of TCE rates. This is because under time-charter and bareboat contracts the customer usually pays the
voyage expenses, while under voyage charters the ship-owner usually pays the voyage expenses, which typically are added to the hire rate
at an approximate cost. In a voyage charter contract, consideration is received for the use of a vessel between designated ports for
the duration of the voyage only, at an agreed upon rate per volume of cargo carried. In a time charter contract, the customer (also known
as the charterer) is responsible to pay for fuel consumed and port expenses incurred during the agreed period of time. In a voyage charter
contract, the Company is responsible for maintaining the voyage, including vessel scheduling and routing, as well as any related voyage
expenses, such as fuel, port and other expenses. Under voyage charters, the majority of voyage expenses are generally borne by us whereas
for vessels in a pool, such expenses are borne by the pool operator. In a bareboat charter, the customer pays for all of the vessel’s
operating expenses, and undertakes to maintain the vessel in a good state of repair and efficient operating condition and drydock the
vessel during this period as per the classification society requirements. We may incur voyage related expenses when positioning or repositioning
vessels before or after the period of a time or other charter, during periods of commercial waiting time or while off-hire during drydocking
or due to other unforeseen circumstances. Because of the different nature of these types of arrangements, the amount of revenues earned
by the Company can differ significantly between them.
The Daily Time Charter Equivalent Rate (“TCE
rate”) is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. The TCE rate and time charter equivalent revenue are
not measures of revenue under generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., it is a non-GAAP measure) or IFRS and should not be considered
as an alternative to any measure of revenue and financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS. We calculate the TCE rate by
dividing revenues (time charter and/or voyage charter revenues), less commission and voyage expenses (which then equals “time charter
equivalent revenue”), by the number of operating days (calendar days less scheduled and unscheduled aggregate technical off-hire
days less off-hire days due to unforeseen circumstances) during that period. Our calculation of the TCE rate and time charter equivalent
revenue may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. We define calendar days as the total number of days the vessels were
in our possession for the relevant period. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of our fleet during the relevant period and affect
the amount of expenses that we record during that period. We define operating days as the number of calendar days in a period less any
scheduled or unscheduled days that our vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen technical circumstances. We and other companies in the
shipping industry use operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period that our vessels generate revenues. The period
a vessel is not being chartered or is unable to perform the services for which it is required under a charter is “off-hire”.
We use the TCE rate and time charter equivalent revenue because they provide a means of comparison between different types of vessel employment
and, therefore, assists our decision-making process with regards to the operation and use of our vessels and in evaluating our financial
performance. We believe the TCE rate and time charter equivalent revenue provide additional meaningful information to our investors, constituting
a comparison to Revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP and IFRS measure, that also enables our management to evaluate the performance
and deployment of our fleet and in evaluating their financial performance. The TCE rate and time charter equivalent revenue are measures
used to compare period-to-period changes in a company’s performance, and management believes that the TCE rate and time charter equivalent
revenue provide meaningful information to our investors.

Daily Opex
Daily Opex per vessel is an alternative performance
measure that provides meaningful information to our management with regards to our vessels’ efficiency and deployment. Daily Opex
is not a measure under generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., it is a non-GAAP measure) or IFRS and should not be considered
as an alternative to any measure of expenses and financial performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Our reconciliation of daily
Opex, including management fees, may deviate from that reported by other companies. We believe Daily Opex provides additional meaningful
information in conjunction with Vessel operating expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP and IFRS measure, because it provides meaningful
information to our investors in evaluating our financial performance.
Daily Opex is calculated as vessel operating expenses and technical
management fees divided by calendar days, for the relevant periods.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Earnings
per share
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) is an alternative performance measure, derived directly from the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income by adding back to profit/(loss) depreciation, amortization, interest and finance costs and subtracting interest income. Adjusted
EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before non-recurring items, unrealized losses/(gains) on derivatives, realized losses/(gains) on derivatives,
foreign exchange (gains)/losses, and (gain)/loss from loan modifications. Adjusted profit/(loss) is defined as reported profit/(loss)
before non-recurring items, unrealized losses/(gains) on derivatives, impairment loss, loan modification gain/(loss) and gain/(loss)
on disposal of vessels. Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share is defined as adjusted profit/(loss) divided by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding in the period.
Furthermore, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
profit/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share have certain limitations in use and should not be considered alternatives to reported
profit/(loss), operating profit, cash flows from operations, earnings per share or any other GAAP or IFRS measure of financial performance.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted profit/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share exclude some, but not all, items that affect profit/(loss).
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and
Adjusted Earnings per share are not measures of revenues under generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., they are non-GAAP measures)
or IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of revenue and financial performance presented in accordance with
IFRS. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Earnings per share are used as supplemental financial measures by management
and external users of financial statements to assess our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit
and Adjusted Earnings per share assist our management and our investors by providing useful information that increases the comparability
of our operating performance from period to period and against our previous performance and the operating performance of other companies
in our industry that provide relevant information. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Earnings provide
additional meaningful information in conjunction with profit, the most directly comparable GAAP and IFRS measure, because they provide
meaningful information in evaluating our financial performance.
Our method of computing EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted profit/(loss) and Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies
and, therefore, might not be comparable with other companies.

Forward Looking Statements
This
communication contains “forward-looking statements”, including as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking
statements provide the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements
about the Company’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical
facts or that are not present facts or conditions. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “hope,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,”
“potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will” or similar words or phrases,
or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily
mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and
are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by
the forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking
statements for many reasons, including as described in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”). Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this
communication. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the Company’s operating
or financial results; the Company’s liquidity, including its ability to service its indebtedness; competitive factors in the market
in which the Company operates; shipping industry trends, including charter rates, vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and
demand; future, pending or recent acquisitions and dispositions, business strategy, areas of possible expansion or contraction, and expected
capital spending or operating expenses; risks associated with operations; broader market impacts arising from war (or threatened war)
or international hostilities; risks associated with pandemics, including effects on demand for oil and other products transported by
tankers and the transportation thereof; and other factors listed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Except
to the extent required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions
to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with respect thereto or
any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based. You should, however, review the factors and risks
the Company describes in the reports it files and furnishes from time to time with the SEC, which can be obtained free of charge on the
SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
