Impact of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza on the Company’s Business

The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and related sanctions imposed by the U.S., EU and others, adversely affect the crewing operations of the Company’s Manager, which has crewing offices in St. Petersburg, Odessa and Mariupol (damaged by the war), and trade patterns involving ports in the Black Sea or Russia, and as well as impacting world energy supply and creating uncertainties in the global economy, which in turn impact containership and drybulk demand. The extent of the impact will depend largely on future developments.

The war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, potential disruption of shipping routes such as Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, has not affected the Company’s business to date; however, an escalation of these conflicts could have reverberations on the regional and global economies that could have the potential to adversely affect demand for cargoes and the Company’s business.

Additionally, a supervision fee of $850 thousand per newbuilding vessel is payable to Danaos Shipping Company Limited (the “Manager”) over the construction period. Supervision fees totaling $2.1 million and $3.0 million were charged by the Manager and capitalized to the vessels under construction in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Interest expense amounting to $11.4 million, $17.4 million and $5.0 million was capitalized to the vessels under construction in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In March 2024, the Company sold for scrap the vessel Stride, which had been off-hire since January 8, 2024 due to damage from a fire in the engine room that was subsequently contained. The Company collected $10.6 million net insurance proceeds for total loss of vessel and recognized a gain on disposal of this vessel amounting to $7.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 separately presented under “Net gain on disposal/sale of vessels” in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The proceedings with the insurers are in progress as of June 30, 2024, and any additional gain will be recognized upon their finalization.

In December 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the vessel Amalia C for an aggregate gross consideration of $5.1 million, which was delivered to its buyers in January 2023 resulting in a $1.6 million gain separately presented under “Net gain on disposal/sale of vessels” in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

The Company assumed time charter liabilities related to its acquisition of vessels in the second half of 2021. The amortization of these assumed time charters amounted to $4.5 million and $6.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively and is presented under “Operating revenues” in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The remaining unamortized amount of nil and $4.5 million is presented under current “Unearned revenue” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

4     Fixed Assets, net & Advances for Vessels under Construction (Continued)

The residual value (estimated scrap value at the end of the vessels’ useful lives) of the fleet was estimated at $574.9 million and $540.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and as of December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has calculated the residual value of the vessels taking into consideration the 10 year average and the 5 year average of the scrap prices. The Company has applied uniformly the scrap value of $300 per ton for all vessels. The Company believes that $300 per ton is a reasonable estimate of future scrap prices, taking into consideration the cyclicality of the nature of future demand for scrap steel. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to determine the scrap rate are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective, in part, because of the cyclical nature of future demand for scrap steel.

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for drydocking and special survey costs in accordance with accounting for planned major maintenance activities, whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled survey, which is two and a half years. If special survey or drydocking is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. Furthermore, when a vessel is drydocked in more than one reporting period, the respective costs are identified and recorded in the period in which they were incurred and not at the conclusion of the drydocking.

Prior to March 1, 2024 the Company could have redeemed up to 35% of the aggregate principal of the notes from equity offering proceeds at a price equal to 108.50% within 90 days after the equity offering closing. In December 2022, the Company repurchased $37.2 million aggregate principal amount of its unsecured senior notes in a privately negotiated transaction. Interest payments on the notes are payable semi-annually commencing on September 1, 2021. $9.0 million of bond issuance costs were deferred and are recognized over the life of the bond through the effective interest method.

9     Financial Instruments

The following is a summary of the Company’s risk management strategies and the effect of these strategies on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk arises on bank borrowings. The Company monitors the interest rate on borrowings closely to ensure that the borrowings are maintained at favorable rates.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with established financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties, however, the Company limits this exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings. The Company depends upon a limited number of customers for a large part of its revenues. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally managed by the selection of customers among the major liner companies in the world and their dispersion across many geographic areas.

Fair Value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities (excluding long-term bank loans and certain other non-current assets) approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term floating rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of senior unsecured notes is measured based on quoted market prices. The fair value of marketable securities is measured based on the closing price of the securities on a stock exchange.

a. Interest Rate Swap Hedges

The Company currently has no outstanding interest rate swaps agreements. However, in the past years, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with its lenders in order to manage its floating rate exposure. Certain variable-rate interests on specific borrowings were associated with vessels under construction and were capitalized as a cost of the specific vessels. In accordance with the accounting guidance on derivatives and hedging, the amounts related to realized gains or losses on cash flow hedges that have been entered into and qualified for hedge accounting, in order to hedge the variability of that interest, were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified into earnings over the depreciable life of the constructed asset, since that depreciable life coincides with the amortization period for the capitalized interest cost on the debt. An amount of $1.8 million was reclassified into earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, representing its amortization over the depreciable life of the vessels. An amount of $3.6 million is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

b. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy.

Level I: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

Level II: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level III: Inputs that are unobservable. The Company did not use any Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Charters-out

As of June 30, 2024, the Company generated leasing operating revenues from its 70 container vessels on time charter or bareboat charter agreements with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 2030. Additionally, the Company contracted multi-year time charter agreements for 13 of its container vessels under construction as of June 30, 2024. Under the terms of the charter party agreements, most charterers have options to extend the duration of contracts ranging from less than one year to three years after the expiration of the contract. The Company determines fair value of its vessels at the lease commencement date and at the end of lease term for lease classification with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers. The Company manages its risk associated with the residual value of its vessels after the expiration of the charter party agreements by seeking multi-year charter arrangements for its vessels.

In May 2022, the Company received $238.9 million of charter hire prepayment related to charter contracts for 15 of the Company’s vessels, representing partial prepayment of charter hire payable up to January 2027. This charter hire prepayment is recognized in revenue through the remaining period of each charter party agreement, in addition to the contracted future minimum payments reflected in the below table. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balances of the current and non-current portion of unearned revenue in relation to this prepayment amounted to $43.6 million and $38.8 million, respectively.

Until the acquisition of the drybulk vessels in 2023, the Company reported financial information and evaluated its operations by total charter revenues. Since 2023, for management purposes, the Company is organized based on operating revenues generated from container vessels and drybulk vessels and has two reporting segments: (1) a container vessels segment and (2) a drybulk vessels segment. The container vessels segment owns and operates container vessels which are primarily chartered on multi-year, fixed-rate time charter and bareboat charter agreements. The drybulk vessels segment owns and operates drybulk vessels to provide drybulk commodities transportation services.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker monitors and assesses the performance of the container vessels segment and the drybulk vessels segment based on net income. Items included in the applicable segment’s net income are directly allocated to the extent that the items are directly or indirectly attributable to the segments. With regards to the items that are allocated by indirect calculations, their allocation is commensurate to the utilization of key resources. Investments in marketable securities and investments in affiliates accounted for using the equity method of accounting are not allocated to any of the Company’s reportable segments.
