Danaos' CEO Dr. John Coustas commented:

"The Company's adjusted net income of $34.3 million, or $2.24 per share, for the second quarter of 2019 increased by $5.1 million, or 17.5%, when compared to the second quarter of 2018. This improvement was primarily the result of a $4.4 million decrease in net finance expenses and a $2 million decrease in total operating costs, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in operating revenues mainly due to the re-chartering of certain of our vessels that concluded long-term charters over the last 12 months and were re-deployed at lower rates during the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2019 was $75.6 million, $2.7 million lower than the second quarter of 2018.

The charter market for 5,500+ vessels TEU remained strong over the last three months, and the market for Panamax vessels is improving due to the lack of availability of larger vessels. Rates on smaller vessels remain stable albeit at relatively low levels. We anticipate that the implementation of IMO 2020 sulphur emissions regulations will result in a healthy charter market for the larger vessels through 2020 due to downtime related to scrubber retrofits and reduced sailing speeds that a high fuel price environment are expected to bring about. Escalations in trade tensions between the U.S. and China persist, and uncertainty on the outcome and the impact on trade flows has discouraged market participants from placing newbuilding orders. Collectively, these factors are expected to result in positive vessel supply side effects, which should support the strengthening of the charter market going forward.

Our total contracted revenues as of June 30, 2019 were $1.5 billion, and we maintain our high charter contract coverage of 87% in terms of operating revenues and 71% in terms of operating days over the next 12 months. This insulates us from near-term market weakness.

Danaos continues to be a leader in the container shipping industry on the back of a solid track record of operational excellence and technological innovation that allows us to continually deliver high quality service to our customers. At the same time, the recently concluded refinancing transaction further enhances our ability to pursue growth opportunities and our goal of delivering value to our shareholders." 

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, Danaos had an average of 55 containerships. Our fleet utilization for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 99.4% compared to 96.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Our adjusted net income amounted to $34.3 million, or $2.24 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $29.2 million, or $3.72 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 (after giving retroactive effect to the reverse stock split of 1-for-14 implemented on May 2, 2019). We have adjusted our net income in the three months ended June 30, 2019 for non-cash fees amortization and accrued financing fees of $4.1 million. Please refer to the Adjusted Net Income reconciliation table, which appears later in this earnings release.

The increase of $5.1 million in adjusted net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 is attributable mainly to a $4.4 million decrease in net finance expenses and a $2.0 million decrease in total operating expenses, which were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in operating revenues and a $0.2 million decrease in the operating performance of our equity investment in Gemini.

On a non-adjusted basis, our net income amounted to $30.1 million, or $1.97 earnings per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.74 earnings per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 (after giving retroactive effect to the reverse stock split of 1-for-14).

Operating Revenues 
Operating revenues decreased by 1.0%, or $1.1 million, to $112.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $113.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 reflect:

  • a $4.1 million decrease in revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, mainly due to the re-chartering of certain of our vessels that concluded long-term charters over the last twelve months and were re-deployed at lower spot rates in the three months ended June 30, 2019; and
  • a $3.0 million increase in revenues due to higher fleet utilization of our vessels in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Vessel Operating Expenses 
Vessel operating expenses increased by 2.2%, or $0.6 million, to $27.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $26.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The average daily operating cost per vessel for vessels on time charter was $5,884 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $5,762 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Management believes that our daily operating cost ranks as one of the most competitive in the industry.

Depreciation & Amortization 
Depreciation & Amortization includes Depreciation and Amortization of Deferred Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs.

Depreciation 
Depreciation expense decreased by 10.1%, or $2.7 million, to $24.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $26.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 mainly due to decreased depreciation expense for ten vessels for which we recorded an impairment charge on December 31, 2018.

Amortization of Deferred Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs 
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs decreased by $0.3 million, to $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to a decreased number of vessels dry-docked.

General and Administrative Expenses 
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million, to $6.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $5.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was mainly due to increased share based compensation.

Other Operating Expenses 
Other Operating Expenses include Voyage Expenses.

Interest expense decreased by 18.3%, or $4.2 million, to $18.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $23.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to:

(i) a $11.5 million decrease in interest expense on two of our credit facilities for which we recognized an interest expense accrual in Q3 2018, which has been classified on our balance sheet under "Accumulated accrued interest" and represents future interest expense for the relevant facilities that has been recognized in advance as a result of the application of Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") accounting in connection with our 2018 debt refinancing;

(ii) a $5.8 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt service cost by approximately 2.8%, partially offset by a $644.4 million decrease in our average debt (including leaseback obligations), to $1,630.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $2,275.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018; and

(iii) a $1.5 million increase in the amortization of deferred finance costs and debt discount related to our 2018 debt refinancing.

As of June 30, 2019, our bank debt outstanding, gross of deferred finance costs, was $1,470.6 million and leaseback obligation was $144.4 million compared to bank debt of $2,293.9 million outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

Interest income increased by $0.2 million to $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Other finance costs, net 
Other finance costs, net increased by $0.8 million to $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 mainly due to increased finance costs, which were partially offset by decreased exit fees expenses.

Equity income/(loss) on investments 
Equity income/(loss) on investments decreased by $0.2 million to nil in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to equity income on investments amounting to $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and relates to the operating performance of Gemini Shipholdings Corporation ("Gemini"), in which the Company has a 49% shareholding interest.

Loss on derivatives 
Amortization of deferred realized losses on interest rate swaps remained stable at $0.9 million in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Other income/(expenses), net 
Other income/(expenses), net was $0.4 million in income in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $19.5 million in expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2018 mainly due to $20.1 million of refinancing-related professional fees in the prior period.

Adjusted EBITDA 
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 3.4%, or $2.7 million, to $75.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $78.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018. As described above, the decrease is mainly attributable to a $1.4 million increase in net finance expenses, a $1.1 million decrease in operating revenues and a $0.2 million decrease in operating performance on our equity investments. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is adjusted for stock based compensation of $1.0 million.

2 The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
   (GAAP). However, management believes 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 the
   Company's performance. See the Table above for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations
   to GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Non-GAAP financial
   measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared
   in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA(1)

$75,581


$78,294


$153,119


$154,932


1)  Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, depreciation, amortization of
     deferred drydocking & special survey costs, amortization of deferred finance costs, debt discount and other
     finance fees accrued, amortization of deferred realized losses on interest rate swaps, stock based compensation
     and refinancing professional fees. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S.
     generally accepted accounting principles, or "GAAP." We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is
     useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in
     the evaluation of companies in our industry. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our
     operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of Adjusted
     EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financings, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital 
     expenditures and acquisitions, items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall
     operating performance. 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.


     Note: Items to consider for comparability include gains and charges. Gains positively impacting net income are
     reflected as deductions to net income. Charges negatively impacting net income are reflected as increases to net
     income.


The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of these 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 the Company's performance. See the Tables above for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
