DANAOS CORPORATION

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to three months ended September 30, 2023

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, Danaos Corporation (”Danaos or the “Company”) had an average of 71.1 container vessels and 9.9 Capesize drybulk vessels compared to 68.0 container vessels and no drybulk vessels during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our container vessels utilization remained stable at 97.7% in each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased by 7.1%, or $17.0 million, to $256.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $239.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Operating revenues of our container vessels segment decreased by 1.5%, or $3.6 million, to $235.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $239.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, analyzed as follows:

	·	a $14.0 million increase in revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of vessel additions;
	·	a $7.1 million increase in revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to higher non-cash revenue recognition in accordance with US GAAP;
	·	a $17.9 million decrease in revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of lower charter rates;
	·	a $2.4 million decrease in revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to vessel disposals; and
	·	a $4.4 million decrease in revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to decreased amortization of assumed time charters.

Operating revenues of our drybulk vessels segment added an incremental $20.6 million of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to no such operating revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses increased by $8.0 million to $17.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $9.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily as a result of the $9.2 million in voyage expenses related to our recently acquired 10 Capesize drybulk vessels, which generated revenue partially from voyage charter agreements, compared to no such expenses related to our drybulk vessels in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Voyage expenses of container vessels segment decreased by $1.2 million to $7.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $9.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Voyage expenses of drybulk vessels segment were $9.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to no voyage expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Total voyage expenses of drybulk vessels comprised $1.2 million commissions and $8.0 million other voyage expenses, mainly bunkers consumption and port expenses, in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Vessel Operating Expenses

Vessel operating expenses increased by $10.4 million to $49.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $39.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet due to recent container vessel newbuilds deliveries and dry bulk vessels acquisitions and the increase in average daily operating cost of our vessels to $6,860 per vessel per day for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $6,499 per vessel per day for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Management believes that our daily operating costs remain among the most competitive in the industry.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense increased by 19.8%, or $6.4 million, to $38.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $32.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 mainly due to depreciation expense related to 10 recently acquired Capesize drybulk vessels and 5 recently delivered container vessel newbuilds.

Amortization of Deferred Drydocking and Special Survey Costs

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased by $2.7 million to $7.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $4.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $3.9 million, to $11.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $7.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to increased stock-based compensation and management fees.

Net Gain on Disposal/Sale of Vessels

In March 2024, we 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. We collected $9.9 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. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $0.4 million of expenses related to this vessel disposal, which reduced the total gain to $6.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The proceedings with the insurers are in progress as of September 30, 2024, and any additional gain will be recognized upon their finalization.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense increased by $3.7 million, to $8.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $4.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in interest expense is a result of:

	·	a $4.2 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in our average indebtedness by $224.7 million between the two periods, which was partially offset by a decrease in our debt service cost by approximately 0.26%, mainly as a result of a reduction in the financing margin cost. Average indebtedness was $646.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to average indebtedness of $422.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023;
	·	a $0.1 million increase in the amortization of deferred finance costs; which were partially offset by
	·	a $0.6 million decrease in interest expense due to an increase in capitalized interest expense on our vessels under construction in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, our outstanding debt, gross of deferred finance costs, was $689.5 million, which included $262.8 million principal amount of our Senior Notes. These balances compare to debt of $417.4 million, which included $262.8 million principal amount of our Senior Notes as of September 30, 2023. The increase in our outstanding debt is mainly due to loans drawn down to partially finance our container vessel newbuildings.

Interest income remained stable at $3.1 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Gain on Investments

Following the all-stock merger of Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. with Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (“SBLK”) completed on April 9, 2024, we currently own 4,070,214 shares of common stock of SBLK. The loss on investments of $2.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 represents the change in fair value of these marketable securities. This compares to a $9.3 million loss on marketable securities in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Dividend Income

Dividend income of $2.8 million was recognized on SBLK common shares in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.9 million dividend income in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Equity Loss on Investments

Other Finance Expenses

Other finance expenses decreased by $0.3 million to $0.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Loss on Derivatives

	·	a $12.3 million decrease in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to decreased amortization of assumed time charters; and

Voyage expenses of drybulk vessels segment were $25.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to no voyage expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Vessel Operating Expenses

Vessel operating expenses increased by $18.1 million to $140.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $122.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet due to recent container vessel newbuilds and dry bulk vessels acquisitions, while the average daily operating cost of our vessels remained stable at $6,775 per vessel per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $6,758 per vessel per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of funds has been operating cash flows, vessel sales, and long-term bank borrowings, as well as equity provided by our stockholders from our initial public offering in October 2006; common stock sales in August 2010 and the fourth quarter of 2019, the capital contribution of Danaos Investment Limited as Trustee of the 883 Trust (“DIL”) on August 10, 2018 and dividends and sales proceeds from our divested investment in ZIM ordinary shares in 2022. In February 2021, we sold $300 million of 8.500% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”). In December 2022, we repurchased $37.2 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes in a privately negotiated transaction. We may also at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt securities through cash purchases, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Our principal uses of funds have been capital expenditures to establish, grow and maintain our fleet, including our expansion into the drybulk shipping sector, comply with international shipping standards, environmental laws and regulations and to fund working capital requirements and repayment of debt.

Our short-term liquidity needs primarily relate to the funding of our vessel operating expenses, drydocking costs, installment payments for our contracted containership newbuildings, debt interest payments, servicing our debt obligations, payment of dividends and repurchases of our common stock. Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to installment payments for our contracted newbuildings and any additional vessel acquisitions in the containership or drybulk sectors and debt repayment. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds will be cash from operations and equity or debt financings. We currently expect that the sources of funds available to us will be sufficient to meet our known short-term liquidity and long-term liquidity requirements.

Under our existing multi-year charters as of September 30, 2024, we had $3.2 billion of total contracted cash revenues, with $225.0 million for the remainder of 2024, $858.3 million for 2025, $700.6 million for 2026 and $1.4 billion thereafter. Although these contracted cash revenues are based on contracted charter rates, we are dependent on the ability and willingness of our charterers to meet their obligations under these charters. In May 2022, we received a $238.9 million charter hire prepayment related to charter contracts for 15 of our vessels, representing partial prepayment of charter hire payable during the period from May 2022 through January 2027. This prepayment is recorded as unearned revenue on our balance sheet and recognized as revenue in our income statement over the term of the applicable charters.

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $384.3 million. As of September 30, 2024, there was $303.75 million of remaining borrowing availability under our Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility and $151.0 million under our Syndicated $450.0 million Facility. As of September 30, 2024, we had $689.5 million of outstanding indebtedness (gross of deferred finance costs), including $262.8 million relating to our Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2024, we were obligated to make quarterly fixed amortization payments, totaling $31.7 million to September 30, 2025, related to the long-term bank debt. We are also obligated to make certain payments to our Manager, Danaos Shipping, under our management agreement which has a term through December 31, 2025, as described in Note 14, Related Party Transactions, in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

In March 2024, we entered into a syndicated loan facility agreement of up to $450 million (“Syndicated $450.0 million Facility”), which is secured by eight of our newbuilding container vessels. An amount of $299.0 million was drawn down until September 30, 2024 and subsequent to September 30, 2024 we drew down an additional $63.0 million related to a delivery of a newbuilding vessel. This facility is repayable in quarterly instalments up to September 2030. The facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.85%. In June 2022, we drew down $130.0 million under a new senior secured term loan facility from BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole, which is secured by six 5,466 TEU sister vessels acquired in 2021. This facility is repayable in 8 quarterly instalments of $5.0 million, followed by 12 quarterly instalments of $1.9 million together with a balloon payment of $67.2 million payable over five-year term. An amount of $88.1 million is outstanding as of September 30, 2024. In December 2022, we early extinguished the remaining $437.75 million of the Citibank/Natwest $815 mil. Facility and replaced it with the $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility with Citibank, out of which nil is drawn down as of September 30, 2024 and with the Alpha Bank $55.25 mil. Facility, which was drawn down in full and under which $42.1 million is outstanding as of September 30, 2024. The Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility is reducing and repayable over 5 years in 20 quarterly reductions of $11.25 million each together with a final reduction of $157.5 million at maturity in December 2027. We pay a commitment fee at a rate of 0.8% per annum on the undrawn amount of this facility. The Alpha Bank $55.25 mil. Facility is repayable over 5 years with 20 consecutive quarterly instalments of $1.875 million each, together with a balloon payment of $17.75 million at maturity in December 2027.

In April 2022, we entered into contracts for the construction of four 8,000 TEU container vessels, of which two were delivered to us from the shipyard in the second quarter of 2024, one was delivered in the third quarter of 2024 and one was delivered in October 2024. In March 2022, we entered into contracts for the construction of two 7,100 TEU container vessels, of which one was delivered to us from the shipyard in the second quarter of 2024 and one in the third quarter of 2024. In April 2023, we entered into contracts for the construction of two 6,000 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2025. In June 2023, we entered into contracts for the construction of two 8,200 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2026. In February and March 2024, we entered into contracts for the construction of four 8,200 TEU container vessels with expected vessels deliveries in 2026 through 2027. In June and July 2024, we entered into contracts for the construction of five 9,200 TEU container vessels and one 8,200 TEU container vessel with expected deliveries in 2027 and 2028. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate purchase price of the 15 remaining vessel construction contracts amounts to $1,389.7 million, out of which $186.3 million, $57.7 million and $36.5 million was paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The remaining contractual commitments under these 15 vessel construction contracts are analyzed as follows as of September 30, 2024 (in millions of U.S. dollars):

Payments due by period ended
December 31, 2024	$	68.5
December 31, 2025		137.0
December 31, 2026		354.7
December 31, 2027		454.5

In February 2024, we entered into agreements to acquire three Capesize bulk carriers built in 2010 through 2011 that aggregate 529,704 DWT for a total purchase price of $79.8 million. Two of these vessels were delivered to us in the second quarter of 2024 and one in July 2024.

Additionally, a supervision fee of $850 thousand per newbuilding vessel is payable to Danaos Shipping Company Limited (the “Manager”) over the construction period starting from steel cutting. Supervision fees totaling $2.6 million and $3.0 million were charged by the Manager and capitalized to the vessels under construction in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Interest expense amounting to $16.8 million, $17.4 million and $5.0 million was capitalized to the vessels under construction in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In November 2024, we declared a dividend of $0.85 per share of common stock payable on December 4, 2024 to holders of record on November 25, 2024. We intend to pay a regular quarterly dividend on our common stock, which will have an impact on our liquidity. Payments of dividends are subject to the discretion of our board of directors, provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to stockholders and the terms of our credit facilities, which permit the payment of dividends so long as there has been no event of default thereunder nor would occur as a result of such dividend payment, finance leases and Senior Notes, which include limitations on the amount of dividends and other restricted payments that we may make, and will be subject to conditions in the container and drybulk shipping industries, our financial performance and us having sufficient available excess cash and distributable reserves.

In June 2022, we announced a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of our common stock. A $100 million increase to the existing share repurchase program, for a total aggregate amount of $200 million, was approved by our Board of Directors on November 10, 2023. We repurchased 85,386 shares of our common stock in the open market for $6.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024; 1,131,040 shares for $70.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 and 466,955 shares for $28.6 million in the period ended December 31, 2022. As of November 7, 2024, we had repurchased a total of 1,893,803 shares of common stock for $123.2 million under our share purchase program. All purchases have been made on the open market within the safe harbor provisions of Regulation 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. Under the share repurchase program, shares of our common stock may be purchased in open market or privately negotiated transactions, at times and prices that are considered to be appropriate by the Company, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Star Bulk Carriers Corp. Securities

In June 2023, we acquired marketable securities of Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc., which was an owner of bulk carriers listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Ticker: EGLE) consisting of 1,552,865 shares of common stock for $68.2 million (out of which $24.4 million from Virage International Ltd., our related company). As of December 31, 2023, these marketable securities were fair valued at $86.0 million and we recognized a $17.9 million gain on these marketable securities reflected under “Gain on investments” in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the period ended December 31, 2023. On December 11, 2023, Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (Ticker: SBLK), a NASDAQ-listed owner and operator of drybulk vessels and EGLE announced that both companies had entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger, which was completed on April 9, 2024. Under the terms of the agreement, EGLE shareholders received 2.6211 shares of SBLK common stock in exchange for each share of EGLE common stock owned. As a result, we own 4,070,214 shares of common stock of Star Bulk Carriers Corp. fair valued at $96.4 million as of September 30, 2024. We recognized a $10.4 million gain on marketable securities and dividend income on these securities amounting to $6.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Carbon Termination Technologies Corporation

In March 2023, we invested $4.3 million in the common shares of a newly established company Carbon Termination Technologies Corporation (“CTTC”), incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which represents our 49% ownership interest. CTTC currently engages in research and development of decarbonization technologies for the shipping industry. In July 2024, the Company provided a $1.2 million loan to CTTC repayable in one year. Equity method of accounting is used for this investment. Our share of CTTC’s initial expenses amounted to $1.4 million and $4.0 million and is presented under “Equity loss on investments” in the condensed consolidated statements of income in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and in the period ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

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 our 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, conflict with Hezbollah and 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.

Impact of Inflation and Interest Rates Risk on our Business

We continue to see near-term impacts on our business due to elevated inflation in the United States of America, Eurozone and other countries, including ongoing global prices pressures in the wake of the war in Ukraine, driving up energy prices and commodity prices, which continue to affect our operating expenses. Interest rates have increased rapidly and substantially as central banks in developed countries raised interest rates in an effort to subdue inflation. The eventual long-term implications of tight monetary policy, and higher long-term interest rates may continue to drive a higher cost of capital for our business, particularly as our level of indebtedness may increase as we finance the acquisition cost of our contracted containership newbuildings and other vessel acquisitions.

Segments

Until the acquisition of the drybulk vessels in 2023, we reported financial information and evaluated our operations by total charter revenues. Since 2023, for management purposes, we are organized based on operating revenues generated from container vessels and drybulk vessels and have 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.

Our 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 our reportable segments.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $35.0 million, to $465.1 million provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $430.1 million provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase is attributed to (i) a $68.4 million increase in net operating revenues, (ii) a $2.4 million decrease in net finance costs, (iii) a $5.9 million increase in dividend income from investments and (iv) a $7.0 million change in working capital, which were partially offset by (i) a $41.6 million increase in operating expenses and (ii) $7.1 million increase in payments for drydocking and special survey costs.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $373.7 million, to $572.2 million used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $198.5 million used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was due to (i) a $393.9 million increase in advance payments for vessels under construction including capitalized interest, (ii) a $51.9 million increase in advances and payments for vessel acquisitions and (iii) a $7.4 million increase in additions to vessel cost, which were partially offset by (i) a $73.2 million decrease in investments and (ii) a $6.3 million increase in net sale and insurance proceeds received from vessel disposals in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash flows provided by/(used in) financing activities increased by $412.6 million, to $219.7 million provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $192.9 million used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 mainly due to (i) $299.0 million new bank debt proceeds drawn down in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, (ii) $73.5 million decrease in loan payments and payments of leaseback obligations that were fully repaid in the second quarter of 2023 and (iii) a $46.6 million decrease in repurchase of our common stock, which were partially offset by (i) a $5.2 million increase in finance costs and (ii) a $1.3 million increase in dividend payments on our common stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes, however, that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. See the table below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in the shipping or other industries.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation, as well as amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs, amortization of assumed time charters, amortization of deferred realized losses of cash flow interest rate swaps, amortization of finance costs and commitment fees. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, taxes other than withholding taxes on dividends received, depreciation, amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs, amortization of assumed time charters, amortization of deferred realized losses of cash flow interest rate swaps, amortization of finance costs and commitment fees, gain on investments, net gain on disposal/sale of vessels and stock-based compensation. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used: (i) by prospective and current customers as well as potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; and (ii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. Our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Because of these limitations, EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as principal indicators of our performance.

EBITDA increased by $19.0 million, to $549.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $530.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was mainly attributed to (i) a $19.2 million change in fair value of our investment and dividend income, (ii) a $43.9 million increase in operating revenues (excluding $12.3 million decrease in amortization of assumed time charters), (iii) a $5.0 million increase in net gain on disposal/sale of vessels, (iv) a $2.4 million decrease in equity loss on investments and (v) a $2.2 million decrease in loss on debt extinguishment, which were partially offset by a $53.7 million increase in total operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.5 million, to $532.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $534.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was mainly attributed to a $53.7 million increase in total operating expenses, which were partially offset by (i) a $43.9 million increase in operating revenues (excluding $12.3 million decrease in amortization of assumed time charters), (ii) a $2.4 million decrease in equity loss on investments and (iii) a $5.9 million increase in dividend income in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is adjusted for a $10.4 million change in fair value of our investments and a $6.7 million net gain on disposal/sale of vessels.

Time Charter Equivalent Revenues and Time Charter Equivalent US$/day per segment

Time charter equivalent revenues represent operating revenues less voyage expenses excluding commissions presented per container vessels segment and drybulk vessels segment separately. Time charter equivalent US$/per day (“TCE rate”) represents the average daily TCE rate of our container vessels segment and drybulk vessels segment calculated dividing time charter equivalent revenues of each segment by operating days of each segment. Operating days of each segment is calculated by deducting vessels off-hire days of each segment from total ownership days of each segment. TCE rate is a measure of the average daily net revenue performance of our vessels in each segment. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period to period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types i.e., voyage charters, time charters, bareboat charters under which its vessels may be employed between the periods. Our method of computing TCE rate may not necessarily be comparable to TCE rates of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. We include TCE rate, a non- GAAP measure, as it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with operating revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our operating vessels and assists investors and our management in evaluating our financial performance.

We define Operating Days as the total number of Ownership Days net of Scheduled off-hire days (days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys) and net of off-hire days associated with unscheduled repairs or days waiting to find employment but including days our vessels were sailing for repositioning. The shipping industry uses Operating Days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues or are sailing for repositioning purposes. Our definition of Operating Days may not be comparable to that used by other companies in the shipping industry.

Time charter equivalent US$/per day (“TCE rate”) represents the average daily TCE rate of our container vessels segment and drybulk vessels segment calculated dividing time charter equivalent revenues of each segment by operating days of each segment. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period to period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types i.e., voyage charters, time charters, bareboat charters under which its vessels may be employed between the periods. Our method of computing TCE rate may not necessarily be comparable to TCE rates of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. We include TCE rate, a non- GAAP measure, as it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with operating revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our operating vessels and assists investors and our management in evaluating our financial performance.

Credit Facilities

We, as borrower or guarantor, and certain of our subsidiaries, as borrowers or guarantors, have entered into a number of credit facilities in connection with financing the acquisition of certain vessels in our fleet. Our existing credit facilities are secured by, among other things, our vessels (as described below).

Revolving Credit Facility and $151.0 million under our Syndicated $450.0 million Facility. As of September 30, 2024, 43 of our container vessels and 10 Capesize drybulk carriers were unencumbered. See Note 8 “Long-term Debt, net” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding our outstanding debt and the related repayment schedule.

Senior Notes

On February 11, 2021, we consummated an offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 8.500% Senior Notes due 2028 of Danaos Corporation, which we refer to as the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of Danaos Corporation.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 11, 2021, between the Company and Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as trustee, paying agent, registrar and transfer agent. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.500% per year, payable in cash on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2021. The Senior Notes will mature on March 1, 2028.

In December 2022, we repurchased $37.2 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes in a privately negotiated transaction. For additional details regarding the Senior Notes please refer to Note 8, “Long-term Debt, net” in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects –Senior Notes” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024.

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Swaps

In the past, we entered into interest rate swap agreements converting floating interest rate exposure into fixed interest rates in order to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates, as well as interest rate swap agreements converting the fixed rate we paid in connection with certain of our credit facilities into floating interest rates in order to economically hedge the fair value of the fixed rate credit facilities against fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates. All of these interest rate swap agreements have expired and we do not currently have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements. Refer to Note 9, “Financial Instruments”, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We did not enter into derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency translation of assets or liabilities or foreign currency transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Impact of Inflation and Interest Rates Risk on our Business

We continue to see near-term impacts on our business due to elevated inflation in the United States of America, Eurozone and other countries, including ongoing global prices pressures in the wake of the war in Ukraine, driving up energy and commodity prices, which continue to affect our operating expenses. Interest rates have increased rapidly and substantially as central banks in developed countries raise interest rates in an effort to subdue inflation. The eventual implications of tighter monetary policy, and potentially higher long-term interest rates may drive a higher cost of capital for our business.

Capitalization and Indebtedness

The table below sets forth our consolidated capitalization as of September 30, 2024.

	·	on an actual basis; and
	·	on an as adjusted basis to reflect, in the period from October 1, 2024 to November 7, 2024, a $63.0 million drawdown on Syndicated $450.0 million Facility related to a delivery of a newbuilding vessel and repurchases of 210,422 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $17.8 million.

Other than these adjustments, there have been no other material changes to our capitalization from debt or equity issuances, re-capitalizations, special dividends, or debt repayments as adjusted in the table below between October 1, 2024 and November 7, 2024.

Forward Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning our operations, cash flows, financial position, including with respect to vessel and other asset values, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, performance or business prospects, changes and trends in our business and the markets in which we operate, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions. Although Danaos Corporation believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, Danaos Corporation cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, charter counterparty performance, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, our ability to operate profitably in the drybulk sector, performance of shipyards constructing our contracted newbuilding vessels, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in our financing arrangements, actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, including the conflict in Ukraine and related sanctions, the conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip, potential disruption of shipping routes such as Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.

Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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.

Significant Accounting Policies

For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no significant changes made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Investments in Affiliates

In March 2023, the Company invested $4.3 million in the common shares of a newly established company Carbon Termination Technologies Corporation (“CTTC”), incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which represents the Company’s 49% ownership interest. CTTC currently engages in research and development of decarbonization technologies for the shipping industry. Equity method of accounting is used for this investment. In July 2024, the Company provided a $1.2 million loan to CTTC repayable in one year. The Company’s share of CTTC’s initial expenses amounted to $1.4 million and $4.0 million and is presented under “Equity loss on investments” in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the period ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

Fixed Assets, Advances for Vessels Acquisition and Vessels under Construction

In 2023, the Company acquired 7 Capesize bulk carriers built in 2009 through 2012 that aggregate to 1,231,157 DWT for a total purchase price of $139.6 million. In February 2024, the Company entered into agreements to acquire 3 Capesize bulk carriers built in 2010 through 2011 that aggregate 529,704 DWT for a total purchase price of $79.8 million. Two of these vessels were delivered to the Company in the second quarter of 2024 and one in July 2024.

In April 2022, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of four 8,000 TEU container vessels, of which two were delivered to the Company from the shipyard in the second quarter of 2024, one was delivered in the third quarter of 2024 and one was delivered in October 2024. In March 2022, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of two 7,100 TEU container vessels, of which one was delivered to the Company from the shipyard in the second quarter of 2024 and one in the third quarter of 2024. In April 2023, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of two 6,000 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2025. In June 2023, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of two 8,200 TEU container vessels with expected vessels delivery in 2026. In February and March 2024, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of four 8,200 TEU container vessels with expected vessels deliveries in 2026 through 2027. In June and July 2024, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of five 9,200 TEU container vessels and one 8,200 TEU container vessel with expected deliveries in 2027 and 2028.

Fixed Assets, Advances for Vessels Acquisition and Vessels under Construction (Continued)

As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate purchase price of the 15 remaining vessel construction contracts amounts to $1,389.7 million, of which $186.3 million, $57.7 million and $36.5 million was paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The contractual commitments under 15 remaining vessel construction contracts are analyzed as follows as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Payments due by period ended
December 31, 2024	$	68,486
December 31, 2025		137,014
December 31, 2026		354,690
December 31, 2027		454,542
December 31, 2028		94,500
Total contractual commitments	$	1,109,232

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 $2.6 million and $3.0 million were charged by the Manager and capitalized to the vessels under construction in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Interest expense amounting to $16.8 million, $17.4 million and $5.0 million was capitalized to the vessels under construction in the nine months ended September 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 $10.2 million net insurance proceeds for total loss of vessel and recognized a gain on disposal of this vessel amounting to $6.7 million in the nine months ended September 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 September 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 $16.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The residual value (estimated scrap value at the end of the vessels’ useful lives) of the fleet was estimated at $596.4 million and $540.5 million as of September 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.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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 $2.7 million was reclassified into earnings for the nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

	12	Lease Arrangements

		Charters-out

As of September 30, 2024, the Company generated leasing operating revenues from its 72 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 15 of its container vessels under construction as of September 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 September 30, 2024, the outstanding balances of the current and non-current portion of unearned revenue in relation to this prepayment amounted to $41.5 million and $29.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding balances of the current and non-current portion of unearned revenue in relation to this prepayment amounted to $44.2 million and $60.1 million, respectively.

The future minimum payments, expected to be received on non-cancellable time charters and bareboat charters classified as operating leases consisted of the following as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Remainder of 2024	$	225,014
2025		858,284
2026		700,634
2027		451,007
2028		234,381
2029		197,964
2030 and thereafter		521,241
Total future rentals	$	3,188,525

Rentals from time charters are not generally received when a vessel is off-hire, including time required for normal periodic maintenance of the vessel. In arriving at the future minimum rentals, an estimated time off-hire to perform periodic maintenance on each vessel has been deducted, although there is no assurance that such estimate will be reflective of the actual off-hire in the future.

Segments

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.
