1 Average TCE earnings is a non-U.S. GAAP measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. Average TCE rate, gross, when used by the Company, means time charter revenues and voyage charter revenues excluding address commission, and adjusted from “load to discharge” basis to “discharge to discharge” basis and divided by operational days. Our management believes average TCE revenues can provide additional meaningful information for investors to analyze our fleets’ daily income performance.  Our calculation of such figure may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Please see Appendix A for reconciliation of this measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP measure.
