ITEM 3. |
KEY INFORMATION
|
• |
Our profitability will be dependent on the level of charter rates in the international shipping industry which are based on macroeconomic factors outside of our control;
|
• |
The market value of our vessels can fluctuate substantially over time, and if these values are low at a time when we are attempting to dispose of a vessel, we could incur a loss;
|
• |
The international dry bulk industry is highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete successfully for charters on favorable terms with established companies or new entrants that may have
greater resources and access to capital;
|
• |
The operation of dry bulk vessels entails certain unique operational risks, which could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay dividends;
|
• |
Disruptions in global markets from terrorist attacks, regional armed conflicts, general political unrest and the resulting governmental action could have a material adverse impact on our results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows; and
|
• |
A decrease in the level of China’s export of goods and import of raw materials could have a material adverse impact on our charterers’ business and in turn, could cause a material adverse impact
on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
|
• |
Delay in the delivery or cancelation of any secondhand vessels we may agree to acquire, or any future newbuild vessel orders, could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition
and earnings;
|
• |
We are dependent on our charterers and other counterparties fulfilling their obligations under agreements with us;
|
• |
We may have difficulty properly managing our growth through acquisitions of new or secondhand vessels and we may not realize expected benefits from these acquisitions;
|
• |
The increased volatility of our new dry bulk operating platform may have a material adverse effect on our earnings and cash flow;
|
• |
Declines in the value of our derivative instruments, such as forward freight agreements, could have an adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial
position;
|
• |
Our investment in the leasing business exposes us to financial and counterparty risks, which could adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flow;
|
• |
Our managers may be unable to attract and retain qualified, skilled crews on our behalf necessary to operate our business or may pay rising crew wages and other vessel operating costs;
|
• |
Fuel, or bunker, price fluctuations may have an adverse effect on our cash flows, liquidity and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders;
|
• |
We must make substantial capital expenditures to maintain the operating capacity of our fleet, which may reduce or eliminate the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders;
|
• |
The derivative contracts we have entered into to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currencies, bunker prices and freight rates can result in reductions in our
stockholders’ equity as well as reductions in our income;
|
• |
We are subject to regulation and liability under environmental and operational safety laws that could require significant expenditures and affect our cash flows and net income;
|
• |
Our business depends upon certain members of our senior management who may not necessarily continue to work for us;
|
• |
Our chairman and chief executive officer has affiliations with our managers and others that could create conflicts of interest between us and our managers or other entities in which he has an
interest;
|
• |
Our managers are privately held companies and there is little or no publicly available information about them; and
|
• |
Being active in multiple lines of business, including managing multiple fleets, requires management to allocate significant attention and resources, and failure to successfully or efficiently
manage each line of business may harm our business and operating results.
|
• |
The price of our securities may be volatile and future sales of our equity securities could cause the market price of our securities to decline;
|
• |
Investors may view our having multiple lines of business, including ownership of multiple fleets, negatively, which may decrease the trading price of our securities;
|
• |
Holders of Preferred Stock have extremely limited voting rights; and
|
• |
Members of the Konstantakopoulos family are our principal existing stockholders and will effectively be able to control the outcome of matters on which our stockholders are entitled to vote;
their interests may be different from yours.

Includes one dry bulk vessel with no employment as at December 31, 2023.
|
(2) |
Total days are calculated on the assumption that the vessels will continue trading until the age of 30 years old for containerships and 25 years for dry bulk vessels, unless the containership
will exceed 30 years of age or the dry bulk vessel will exceed 25 years of age at the expiry of its current time charter, in which case we assume that the vessel continues trading until that expiry date. Adventure, Konstantinos, Manzanillo, and Progress are classified as held for sale and therefore the available days are
calculated up to December 2, 2024, December 14, 2024, December 18, 2024 and December 20, 2024, respectively.

our fleet is a key factor in determining the level of our revenues. Aggregate expenses also increase as the size of our fleet increases. Vessel acquisitions and dispositions give rise to gains and losses and other one-time items.
Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the ownership
days each vessel was part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period. As of March 19, 2024, our containership fleet
amounted to a total of 68 vessels and our dry bulk fleet amount to a total of 37.
|
• |
Charter Rates. The charter rates we obtain for our
vessels also drive our revenues. Charter rates are based primarily on demand and supply of vessel capacity at the time we enter into the charters for our vessels. Demand and supply can fluctuate significantly over time as a result of
changing economic conditions affecting trade flow between ports and the industries which use our shipping services. Vessels operated under long-term charters are less susceptible to cyclical containership charter rates than vessels
operated on shorter-term charters, such as spot charters. We are exposed to varying charter rate environments when our chartering arrangements expire and we seek to deploy our vessels under new charters. As illustrated in the table
above under “—Overview”, we aim to reduce our exposure to any one particular rate environment and point in the shipping cycle on the containership sector by staggering the maturities of our vessels’ charters, while in the dry bulk
sector we operate our vessels primarily on short term time charters, index-linked time charters, or voyage charters. See “—Voyage Revenue”.
|
• |
Utilization of Our Fleet. We calculate utilization of our
fleet by dividing the number of days during which our vessels are employed less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to any reason other
than due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys by the number of days during which our vessels are employed. We use fleet utilization to measure our vessels’ condition and efficiency in
servicing our clients whilst employed. Historically, our fleet has had a limited number of unscheduled off-hire days during the period of employment. In 2021, 2022 and 2023 our fleet utilization for each year was 99.3%, 98.4% and 98.9%,
respectively. More specifically, in 2023 our containerships fleet utilization rate was 99.0% and our dry bulk fleet utilization rate was 98.7%. If the utilization pattern of our fleet changes, our financial results would be affected.
|
• |
Expenses and Other Costs. Our ability to control our
fixed and variable expenses is critical to our ability to maintain acceptable profit margins. These expenses include commission expenses, crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance and vessel registry, expenses for repairs and
maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, lubricating oil costs, tonnage taxes, regulatory fees, vessel scrubbers and Ballast Water Treatment System (“BWTS”) maintenance expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.
Furthermore, such expenses include the cost of chartering-in vessels by CBI along with the associated voyage expenses for such vessels which are subsequently employed under voyage charters. In addition, factors beyond our control, such
as developments relating to market premiums for insurance and the value of the U.S. dollar compared to currencies in which certain of our expenses, primarily crew wages, are paid, can cause our vessel operating expenses to increase. We
proactively manage our foreign currency exposure by entering into Euro/dollar forward contracts in an effort to minimize volatility in Euro denominated expenses.
|
• |
Financing Expenses. We rely on external financing mainly
from banks and other financing institutions, which we primarily use for the acquisition of vessels and refinancing of maturing financing facilities. We proactively seek to hedge the associated interest rate exposure, subject to market
conditions, in an effort to minimize the embedded volatility in interest rate expenses.

Accrued charter revenue represents the difference between cash received during the period and revenue recognized on a straight-line basis. In the early years of a charter with escalating charter
rates, voyage revenue will exceed cash received during the period.
|
(2) |
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis represents Voyage revenue after adjusting for non-cash “Accrued charter revenue” recorded under charters with escalating charter rates. Voyage revenue
adjusted on a cash basis is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is useful to investors because it presents the charter revenue for the relevant period
based on the then-current daily charter rates. The increases or decreases in daily charter rates under our charter party agreements are described in the notes to the table in “Item 4. Information On the Company—Business Overview—Our
Fleet, Acquisitions and Vessels Under Construction”.

Impairment of vessels
|
||
Description of the
Matter
|
At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the
Company’s vessels was $3,446,797 thousand. As discussed in Notes 2(k), 7 and 23(c) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates its vessels for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying value of a vessel might exceed its fair value in accordance with the guidance in ASC 360 – Property, Plant and Equipment. As part of the assessment performed, management analyzes the future undiscounted net operating cash flows expected to be generated throughout the remaining useful life of each vessel and compares it to the carrying value to conclude
whether indicators of impairment exist. Where the vessel’s carrying value exceeds the undiscounted net operating cash flows, management recognizes an
impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the vessel.
Auditing management’s recoverability assessment
was complex given the judgement and estimation uncertainty involved in determining the assumption of the future charter rates for non-contracted revenue
days, when forecasting net operating cash flows. These rates are particularly subjective as they involve the development and use of assumptions
about shipping market through the end of the useful lives of the vessels which are forward looking and subject to the inherent unpredictability of future global economic and market conditions.
|
|
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our
Audit
|
We obtained an understanding of the Company’s impairment process, evaluated the design, and tested the operating
effectiveness of the controls over the Company’s determination of future charter rates for non-contracted revenue days.
We analyzed management’s impairment assessment by
comparing the methodology used to evaluate impairment of each vessel against the accounting guidance in ASC 360. To test management’s undiscounted net operating cash flow forecasts, our procedures included, among others, comparing the future vessel charter rates used by management for non-contracted revenue days, with historical market data from external analysts, historical data
for vessels, and recent economic and industry changes. In addition, we performed sensitivity analyses to assess the impact of changes to future charter rates for non-contracted revenue days in the determination of the net operating
cash flows. We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures in Notes 2(k), 7 and 23(c) to the consolidated financial statements.
