•Declared a cash distribution of $0.22 per common share for July 2026.
•Entered into a new time charter agreement for the Mount Aconcagua for a period of 16 to 18 months at an index-linked rate, reflecting a significant premium to the Baltic 5TC 180 Capesize index.
•Converted the index-linked time charters for two vessels to fixed-rate time charters at an average rate of approximately $51,200 per day, gross, from August 1,2026 to December 31, 2026.
Contracted CEO, Lars-Christian Svensen commented:
“The average Baltic 5TC 180 Capesize Index (BCI) for the second quarter of 2026 was $36,303 per day, while the 12-vessel Himalaya fleet achieved average TCE earnings of approximately $50,600 per day, gross, over the same period. This is twice the level recorded in Q2 2025. The significant premium to the market reflects the quality of our fleet and the strength of our commercial platform.
The second quarter of 2026 saw an increase in ton miles of 4.9% year-on-year for Capesize cargoes. Across the three major commodities, ton miles increased by 2% for iron ore, 7.7% for bauxite, and 15.3% for coal.
The market has been driven by a combination of healthy demand from China and increased exports from Brazil and West Africa. This together with limited supply growth has led to improved utilization and day rates.
We maintain a positive long-term outlook for large dry bulk ships. The current order book for new Capesize vessels represents 16% of the existing fleet. Although we see a slightly increasing order book, Capesize has one of the lowest order books of all major shipping segments. Additionally, meaningful fleet growth is constrained, with the earliest opportunity for significant deliveries expected by around 2030. By then, about 26% of the Capesize
1 The Company uses certain financial information calculated on a basis other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) including average TCE earnings, gross and EBITDA. Average daily TCE earnings, gross, as presented above, represents time charter revenues and voyage charter revenues adding back address commissions and divided by fleet operational days. Please refer to the appendix of this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
2 EBITDA as presented above represents our net income plus depreciation and amortization of fixed assets; total financial expenses, net; and income tax expense.

fleet will be more than 20 years old. Furthermore, 24% of the total Capesize fleet will require drydocking in 2026 due to Special Surveys vs 23% in 2025.
The Company’s outlook remains positive on expected growth in ton miles. Strong growth in bauxite imports to China, higher coal volumes and the anticipated increase in iron ore production capacity in the Atlantic will continue to drive demand going forward.
The Company has maintained its strategy of paying monthly distributions to its shareholders. We expect a significant portion of free cash flow after debt service to be paid to shareholders. For Q2 2026, we declared total cash distributions of $0.59 per share.”

EBITDA | 44.0 | | 20.9 | | 23.1 | | 110.5 | % |
Total operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $53.7 million, a $23.8 million increase compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is mainly a result of higher average TCE earnings, gross, achieved in the three months ended June 30, 2026 of $50,600/day compared to $28,400/day in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average Baltic 5TC 180 Capesize Index was $36,303 per day in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $18,681 per day in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Following the consolidation of Peak Maritime from April 1, 2026, management fee revenue of $0.4 million was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Vessel operating expenses for each of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $7.1 million. The Company achieved an average vessel operating cost per day rate3 of $6,500 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Voyage expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $0.7 million, a $0.3 million increase compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase is primarily attributable to higher commission expenses associated with the increase in total operating revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2026.
3 Average vessel operating cost per day is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by the number of calendar days in the period.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $1.9 million, a $0.4 million increase compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The consolidation of Peak Maritime from April 1, 2026, resulted in a $0.9 million increase in payroll costs. This was partly offset by a reduction in management fees charged by Peak Maritime which amounted to $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as these were eliminated upon consolidation in the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Total net financial expenses, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $12.1 million, a $0.4 million decrease compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is mainly due to a lower interest expense on a reduced average loan principal amount outstanding in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, as a result of quarterly repayments under the sale and leaseback financings.
Six months ended June 30, 2026:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (in $ millions) | Six months ended June 30, 2026 | Six months ended June 30, 2025 | Change ($) | Change (%) |

EBITDA | 68.5 | | 34.8 | | 33.7 | | 96.8 | % |
Total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $87.3 million, a $35.4 million increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is mainly a result of higher average TCE earnings, gross, achieved in the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $41,500/day compared to $24,800/day in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average Baltic 5TC 180 Capesize Index was $29,494 per day in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $15,794 per day in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Following the consolidation of Peak Maritime from April 1, 2026, management fee revenues of $0.4 million was recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Vessel operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $14.5 million, a $0.5 million increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. As some of the vessels are now more than 2 years old, certain expenses have increased such as spares by $0.2 million, service fees by $0.1 million and crew cost by $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding six months in the prior year. The Company achieved an average vessel operating cost per day rate of $6,700 and $6,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Voyage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $1.2 million, a $0.7 million increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase is primarily attributable to higher commission expenses associated with the increase in total operating revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2026. In addition, bunker costs increased by $0.3 million as a result of vessel re-deliveries in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $3.1 million, a $0.5 million increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The consolidation of Peak Maritime from April 1, 2026, resulted in a $0.9 million increase in payroll costs. This was partly offset by a reduction in management fees charged by Peak Maritime which amounted to $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 as these were eliminated upon consolidation in the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Total net financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $24.3 million, a $1.2 million decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is mainly due to lower interest expense as a result of a reduced average loan principal amount outstanding in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, as a result of quarterly repayments under the sale and leaseback financings.
Consolidated Balance Sheets
Vessels and equipment as of June 30, 2026 was $809.2 million, a $14.6 million decrease compared to $823.8 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease is due to vessel depreciation in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Total debt, net of deferred finance costs, as of June 30, 2026 was $677.5 million, an $11.7 million decrease compared to $689.2 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to the repayments of principal of $13.0 million on the sale and leaseback arrangements, partially offset by amortization of deferred finance costs of $1.3 million.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Three months ended June 30, 2026
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $34.2 million, compared to $8.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to the increase in operating revenue by $23.8 million and an increase in net cash inflows due to the timing of working capital movements.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $23.9 million, compared to $10.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $44.0 million, compared to $8.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to the increase in operating revenue by $35.4 million, and an increase in net cash inflows by $0.5 million due to the timing of working capital movements.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $41.6 million, compared to $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily consisted of cash distributions of $31.9 million and repayments on the sale and leaseback financings of $13.0 million, offset by net proceeds of $3.3 million from issuance of shares in connection with the exercise of employee share options. Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of repayments on the sale and leaseback financings of $14.0 million and the revolving credit facility with Drew Holdings Ltd.

Market Commentary
The Baltic 5TC 180 Capesize index averaged $36,303 per day in Q2 2026, an increase from $18,681 per day during the same period in 2025.
China continues to import iron ore at higher year-on-year volumes, especially from long-haul trades. China’s iron ore imports in the second quarter of 2026 reached an all-time high. As Brazil experiences increased competition on tonnage from West Africa bauxite exports, rates are stabilizing at a higher level than in previous years.
Bauxite exports from West Africa continue to grow, with a year-on-year increase of 7.7% in the second quarter of 2026 contributing positively to total ton-mile growth of 4.9 % in the same period.
Following the existing orders of Newcastlemax vessels, available newbuilding berths with delivery before the first half of 2029 are expected to be limited. The current newbuilding cost for a dual-fuel Newcastlemax in China is believed to be approximately $95 million.
We continue to see upside potential for the Capesize market with strong export growth from Brazil and West Africa, combined with increasing coal volumes. The Simandou project in Guinea has commenced, and exported volumes tallies to about 10 million tonnes of iron ore so far in 2026. Over the next 24 months we expect a ramp-up to 60 million tons per annum for phase 1, and an expected additional 60 million tons per annum for phase 2. In addition, Vale has indicated that it is targeting an increase of 50 million tons per annum of production capacity from Vargem Grande, Capanema and the S11D mine.
Key downside risks to the Capesize market include a potential slowdown in the Chinese economy and geopolitical tensions, including trade wars and tariffs. Although we have not been directly impacted by the tariffs and tolls announced by the U.S. administration, we are closely monitoring the Panamax and Supramax segments, as trends in the market for smaller dry bulk vessels have historically had an impact on the market for Capesize and Newcastlemax vessels. The year to date impact of the US/Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has been minimal for the Capesize market, although there has been some upward pressure on rates due to increased fuel cost for operators.
Capesize Fleet Development
Growth in vessel supply for large bulk carriers is still anticipated to be moderate in the coming years with a Capesize fleet at 410 million dwt as of June 30, 2026, compared to 404 million dwt in June 2025.
The current order book for Capesize dry bulk vessels currently stands at 16% of the existing fleet, up from 14% as of March 31, 2026. In the second quarter of 2026, 7 million dwt was ordered compared to 7 million dwt ordered in the first quarter of 2026.
In the second quarter of 2026, 0.2 million dwt has been scrapped, compared to 0.5 million dwt during the same period in 2025.
Operational Update
In the three months ended June 30, 2026, our fleet had 1,092 operational days, and a utilization rate of 99.7%.
Outlook
Approximately 300 large bulk carriers are scheduled for delivery prior to 2031, and we anticipate that a significant number of vessels will require dry docking in the coming years. In 2026, about 24% of the total Capesize fleet,
ranging from 159,000 dwt to 211,000 dwt, are due for dry dock or Special Surveys due to the age profile of the fleet. Based on the current order book, the fleet is projected to grow by only 2.5% in 2026, adjusting for the upcoming dry dock schedule. In 2026, approximately 9% of the Capesize fleet will be 20 years old or older, which is projected to increase to about 26% in 2030.
The trend of ton mile-intensive trades of raw materials sourced from the Atlantic basin to meet demand in the Far East is expected to continue. Iron ore from Brazil and Guinea typically involves sailing distances approximately three times longer than those from the Pacific basin. The estimated 170 million tonnes of additional iron ore volumes from Guinea and Brazil are expected to boost ton mile demand. These anticipated additional iron ore volumes may impact volumes exported from Australia or Chinese domestic production volumes.
We believe that Himalaya’s structure, with index-linked charters currently earning on average a 40% premium to the Baltic 5TC 180 BCI index, in addition to scrubber benefits on the majority of vessels, low G&A costs and financing with fixed bareboat rates (seven years from the delivery of each vessel), positions us well to continue delivering solid returns to our shareholders in the coming years in what we believe will be a strong spot market.
