Capitalization

  • Focus on mid-sized, modern eco-efficient vessels - three medium range 2 ("MR") product tankers and two, soon to be three, dry bulk carriers
  • Selectively expanding fleet - Expected August 2024 closing of $30M purchase of 9 yr. old Kamsarmax bulker
  • Long-standingrelationships with first-class customers worldwide
  • As of June 21, 95% of available days in Q2 2024 booked for our MR's at average estimated TCE* rate of $31,800/day & 90% of days for our bulkers at avg. estimated TCE of $18,400/day
  • Positioned to further capitalize if charter rates increase, with four contracted under short- term time charters and one under spot voyage
  • Substantially fixed cost structure creates operating leverage for greater earnings power as charter rates potentially increase
  • Competitive total daily operational costs/vessel to U.S. listed peer group
  • Solid balance sheet - liquidity with modest leverage
  • After upcoming closing of latest acquisition, significant dry powder to potentially acquire at least 2 more vessels

Entry Point

  • Strong mgmt. team with 100+ years of combined industry and capital markets experience
  • Founder/CEO has proven track record and is a major shareholder
  • Board members consist of respected industry figures with significant experience
  • Manageable new build orderbooks with deliveries now scheduled late 2026+
  • Only 2% net supply growth estimated in 2024 for MRs
  • Major armed conflicts have led to continued constructive chartering conditions globally
  • Demand fundamentals for both sectors remain positive supported by solid global GDP growth, especially within the Asia-Pacific region; But relatively high inflation, tight monetary policies and slowing economic activities produce near-term uncertainty.

DRY-BULK FLEET EXPANSION

Second Pillar of Company Strength

  • Our Strategic Entrance into Dry Bulk:
  • We entered the dry bulk sector in September, 2023 with the acquisition of a 2016 built Ultramax dry bulk carrier, the "Konkar Ormi"; In February, 2024, we completed purchase of a 2015 built Kamsarmax, the "Konkar Asteri"; The acquisition of the "Konkar Venture", a sister ship to the "Konkar Asteri", expected by August, 2024 will expand our fleet to 3 bulkers; These additions represent further growth opportunities for the Company by acquiring quality mid-sizedeco-efficient vessels which provide operating versatility and diversification by port, cargo and customer; Our dry bulk cargoes primarily consist of coal and minor bulk commodities such as, grains, fertilizer, and aggregates; Two of our dry bulkers are fitted with scrubbers which reduce CO2 emissions, lower bunker costs and enhance their competitive trading positions.
  • Latest Dry Bulk Investment:
  • The Company, through a 60% owned subsidiary, has agreed to enter into a joint venture agreement to purchase an eco-efficient Kamsarmax bulker (82,000 dwt.) built in 2015 at Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding fitted with a ballast water treatment system; The "Konkar Venture" will be acquired for $30.0 million which will be funded by a combination of bank debt, cash and the issuance of restricted common stock by the Company; As one of the sellers of the Vessel, our Chairman & CEO, Mr. Eddie Valentis, has agreed to receive $1.5M of Company restricted shares priced at $5.60/ sh., a premium to the market, as part of the purchase consideration; The Vessel owning subsidiary will enter into a new $16.5M 5 year secured amortizing bank loan which will be priced at a rate of SOFR plus 2.15%; The balance of the purchase price, Vessel working capital and closing costs will be funded in total cash of $13.2M of which the Company will contribute $7.3M; As a further sign of commitment to the Company, Mr. Valentis has agreed to re-invest $5.9M in cash for the remaining 40% minority interest in the new JV.

Fundamentals

  • Limited Product

Inventories

  • Historically, seaborne trade of refined products has been moderately correlated to global GDP growth; In April, 2024, the IMF slightly revised its estimate for annual global GDP growth to 3.2% for 2024 and 2025 due to better economic outlook for U.S., emerging markets and China combined with lower inflation.
  • In June 2024, IEA revised its global oil consumption for the year, projecting a modest increase of 1.2 million barrels per day or 1.2% to 103.2 Mb/d primarily due to slowing demand from macro-economic headwinds, tighter efficiency standards and increasing EV usage.
  • Global demand for refined petroleum products remains solid due to resilient economic activity; In a number of locations, refined products inventories continue below 5-year averages; Latest U.S. gasoline and diesel inventories 1% and 8%, respectively, below 5- year averages; Globally refinery crack spreads remain supportive with rising throughput forecasted, up 2.2% to average 83.2 Mb/d in 2024.
  • In June, OPEC+ announced that oil production cuts of 2.2 Mb/d would unwind over the 12 months starting in October, 2024 which indicates the expectation of firmer demand while supporting crude prices; However, the impact of these cuts have been mitigated by incremental supply from the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Guyana and Norway and ongoing cheating by Iran; Recently, EIA estimated U.S. crude production would grow to an average of 13.2 Mb/d this year and rise almost 4% in 2025.
  • Longer-termproduct tanker demand is further supported by increasing worldwide refinery throughput and capacity additions, substantially in Asia, driving ton-mile expansion, and growth in petroleum products exports from the U.S., Middle East, India and China.

4.4 Mb/d of new refining net capacity is scheduled for completion from 2023 to 2028, virtually all non-OECD; However, as in the past, a portion of this aggregate 4.1% capacity growth may not come on- stream, on-time; According to EIA, since 2020, 3 Mb/d of refining capacity has been shut down of which 1Mb/d was located in the U.S., the rest mostly in the OECD; Due to the current strength of the energy markets, this trend will likely slow, but long-term, greater importing of products will be required into many of these mature markets and expansion of ton-miles, as evidenced by recent global events.

Drive-up

Charter Rates

  • Increase Volatility
  • Russian-UkrainianWar has prompted a significant change to cargo routes and expansion of ton-mile voyages; EU and G-7 countries ban on seaborne Russian refined products and price caps, which started in early Feb. 2023, as well as increasing list of sanctions have created further market disruptions and complexity; Recent Ukrainian attacks have taken ~2 Mb/d of Russia's refining capacity off-line, further disturbing trade flows; Russian Urals crude continues to trade at a significant discount to Brent.
  • The more recent Israeli/Hamas conflict has led to over 100 attacks on vessels traveling the Red Sea/Gulf of Aden and sharply cutting regional seaborne trade, further upsetting trade patterns with expanding ton-mile activity; Voyages through the Suez Canal were down 43% in Q1 2024 YoY (Jefferies), while average weekly transits for product tankers around the Cape of Good Hope doubled to 32 in Q1 vs Q4, 2023.
  • Increasing exports of refined products from U.S. Gulf, Middle East and certain parts of Asia traveling longer distances to end markets; According to Drewry (March 2024), 2023 seaborne trade of refined products increased 1.3% to over 1.03 billion tons, but ton-miles rose 4.2% to almost 3.58 trillion miles and sailing distances up 2.9%; In May, Danish Ship Finance estimated that cargo volumes would increase 3% in 2024 with further growth in ton-miles of 4%, partially due to the recent Red Sea hostilities.
  • Un-eveneconomic activity amid destabilizing geo-political events combined with limited inventories continue to create arbitrage opportunities for refined petroleum products in a number of markets and support the product tanker sector, but at the same time raise spot chartering volatility; Changing weather patterns, climate change and unusual weather events, such as drought restrictions at the Panama Canal or hurricanes, only add to the operating complexities facing the industry.
