EXHIBIT 99.1

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 June 30, 2019 compared to 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.

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.

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses decreased by $0.5 million, to $2.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $3.2 million in 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

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 Drydocking 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.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

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:

·a $11.5 million decrease in interest expense on two of our credit facilities for which we recognized an interest expense accrual in the third quarter of 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;

·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

·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.

2

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to six months ended June 30, 2018

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, Danaos had an average of 55 containerships. Our fleet utilization for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 98.8% compared to 95.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues decreased by $0.1 million, to $225.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $225.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018.

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

·a $4.0 million decrease in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six 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 six months ended June 30, 2019; and

·a $3.9 million increase in revenues due to higher fleet utilization of our vessels in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Voyage expenses decreased by $0.3 million, to $6.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $6.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Vessel Operating Expenses

The average daily operating cost per vessel for vessels on time charter was $5,761 per day for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $5,806 per day for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Management believes that our daily operating cost ranks as one of the most competitive in the industry.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense decreased by 11.1%, or $6.0 million, to $47.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $53.8 million in the six 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 Drydocking and Special Survey Costs

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs remained stable at $4.3 million in each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.4 million, to $13.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $11.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was mainly due to increased share based compensation and professional fees.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense decreased by 20.0%, or $9.2 million, to $36.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $45.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to:

·a $22.9 million decrease in interest expense on two of our credit facilities for which we recognized an interest expense accrual in the third quarter of 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 TDR accounting in connection with our 2018 debt refinancing;

·a $9.8 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt service cost of approximately 2.6%, partially offset by a $644.8 million decrease in our average debt (including leaseback obligations), to $1,643.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $2,288.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018; and

·a $3.9 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.

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 sale in August 2010 and the capital contribution of Danaos Investment Limited as Trustee of the 883 Trust (“DIL”) on August 10, 2018. Our principal uses of funds have been capital expenditures to establish, grow and maintain our fleet, 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, debt interest payments and servicing the current portion of our debt obligations. Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to any additional vessel acquisitions in the containership sector and debt repayment. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds will be cash from operations and equity or debt financings.

Under our existing multi-year charters as of June 30, 2019, we had contracted revenues of $184.4 million for the remainder of 2019, $362.1 million for 2020 and, thereafter, approximately $0.9 billion. Although these contracted revenues are based on contracted charter rates, we are dependent on the ability and willingness of our charterers, some of which are facing substantial financial pressure, to meet their obligations under these charters.

As of June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $78.8 million. As of June 30, 2019, we had no remaining borrowing availability under our credit facilities. As of June 30, 2019, we had $1,470.6 million of outstanding bank debt gross of deferred finance costs. We are obligated to make quarterly fixed amortization payments, totaling $113.8 million to June 30, 2020, and quarterly variable amortization payments on this outstanding indebtedness. Additionally, in connection with the 2018 Refinancing, we undertook to refinance two of our 13,100 TEU vessels, the Hyundai Honour and Hyundai Respect, which was completed on April 12, 2019 through a sale and leaseback arrangement with a term of five years, at the end of which we will reacquire the vessels for $52.6 million or earlier, at our option, for a purchase price set forth in the agreement. The net proceeds amounting to $144.8 million were applied pro rata to partially repay the existing credit facilities (Club Facility, Credit Suisse Facility, Citibank $114 mil. Facility and Citibank $123.9 mil. Facility) secured by mortgages on such vessels. As of June 30, 2019, we had $144.4 million of outstanding leaseback obligations, with aggregate payments of $31.3 million (including imputed interest) due in monthly installments by June 30, 2020. See Note 4 “Fixed Assets, Net” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

In 2018, we entered into an agreement with certain of our lenders holding approximately $2.2 billion of debt maturing on December 31, 2018 for a debt refinancing transaction (the “2018 Refinancing”) which was consummated on August 10, 2018. The debt refinancing involved our entry into new credit facilities, which we refer to as the New 2018 Credit Facilities, including the amendment and restatement of certain previous credit facilities, resulting in a $551 million reduction in our debt, reset financial and certain other covenants, modified interest rates and amortization profiles and the extension of debt maturities by approximately five years to December 31, 2023 (or, in some cases, June 30, 2024). In the 2018 Refinancing, we issued to certain of our lenders an aggregate of 7,095,877 shares (99,342,271 shares before the 1-for-14 reverse stock split effected on May 2, 2019) of our common stock on the closing date of the 2018 Refinancing, representing 47.5% of our issued and outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to such issuance. The issuance ratably diluted existing holders of the Common Stock. In connection with the 2018 Refinancing, DIL, our largest stockholder, contributed $10 million to us on the closing date of the 2018 Refinancing, for which DIL did not receive any shares of common stock or other interests in us. See the Note 10, “Long-term Debt, net” to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2019.

Under the New 2018 Credit Facilities, we are required to apply a substantial portion of our cash from operations to the repayment of principal under such facilities. See Note 9 “Long-Term Debt, net” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. We currently expect that the remaining portion of our cash from operations will be sufficient to fund all of our other obligations.

We have not paid a dividend since 2008, when our board of directors determined to suspend the payment of cash dividends as a result of market conditions in the international shipping industry. In addition, under the New 2018 Credit Facilities we are not permitted to pay dividends, until (1) we receive in excess of $50 million in net cash proceeds from offerings of common stock and (2) the payment in full of the first installment of amortization payable following the consummation of the debt refinancing under each new credit facility. After these conditions are satisfied, under the New 2018 Credit Facilities we will be permitted to pay dividends if an event of default has not occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result of the payment of such dividend, and we remain in compliance with the financial and other covenants thereunder. To the extent our credit facilities permit us to pay dividends, any dividend payments will be subject to us having sufficient available excess cash and distributable reserves, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to stockholders and the discretion of our board of directors.

In July 2014, ZIM and its creditors entered into definitive documentation effecting ZIM’s restructuring with its creditors. The terms of the restructuring included a reduction in the charter rates payable by ZIM under its time charters, expiring in 2020 or 2021, for six of our vessels. The terms also included our receipt of approximately $49.9 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured, interest bearing ZIM notes maturing in 2023 (consisting of $8.8 million of 3% Series 1 Notes due 2023 amortizing subject to available cash flow in accordance with a corporate cash sweep mechanism, and $41.1 million of 5% Series 2 Notes due 2023 non-amortizing (of the 5% interest rate, 3% is payable quarterly in cash and 2% is payable in kind, accrued quarterly with deferred cash payment on maturity)) and ZIM shares representing approximately 7.4% of the outstanding ZIM shares immediately after the restructuring, in exchange for such charter rate reductions and cancellation of ZIM’s other obligations to us which relate to the outstanding long term receivable as of December 31, 2013. See Note 7, “Other Non-current Assets” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

In July 2016, we entered into a charter restructuring agreement with Hyundai Merchant Marine (“HMM”), which provides for a 20% reduction, for the period until December 31, 2019 (or earlier charter expiration in the case of eight vessels), in the charter hire rates payable for thirteen of our vessels currently employed with HMM. In exchange, under the charter restructuring agreement we received (i) $32.8 million principal amount of senior, unsecured Loan Notes 1, amortizing subject to available cash flows, which accrue interest at 3% per annum payable on maturity in July 2024, (ii) $6.2 million principal amount of senior, unsecured, non-amortizing Loan Notes 2, which accrue interest at 3% per annum payable on maturity in December 2022 and (iii) 4,637,558 HMM shares, which were sold on September 1, 2016 for cash proceeds of $38.1 million. On March 28, 2017, the Company sold $13.0 million principal amount carried at amortized costs of $8.6 million of HMM Loan Notes 1 for gross cash proceeds on sale of $6.2 million resulting in a loss on sale of $2.4 million. The sale of these notes resulted in the transfer of all held to maturity securities into the available for sale securities and recognizing unrealized holding losses of $39.0 million for all remaining HMM and ZIM notes in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) as of June 30, 2019. See Note 7, “Other Non-current Assets” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

We have agreed to install scrubbers on nine of our vessels with estimated total costs amounting to approximately $27.9 million as of June 30, 2019, of which $13.2 million was paid as advances before June 30, 2019 and the remaining amount is expected to be paid in 2019.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $55.9 million, to $111.5 million provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $55.6 million provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was the result mainly of a $29.3 million decrease in net other expenses, a $13.7 million decrease in net finance costs, lower payments for dry-docking and special survey costs by $8.7 million, a $4.0 million change in working capital and by a $0.2 million decrease in total operating expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $8.9 million, to $10.6 million used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.7 million used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 mainly due to the increase in advances for vessel additions related to scrubbers.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities increased by $50.9 million, to $99.3 million used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $48.4 million used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the increase in payments of accumulated accrued interest related to carrying amount of debt by $17.9 million, increased finance costs related to loan arrangement fees by $20.0 million and net increase in loan repayments by $13.0 million.

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. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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 deferred realized losses of cash flow interest rate swaps, amortization of finance costs and finance costs accrued. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs, amortization of deferred realized losses of cash flow interest rate swaps, amortization of finance costs and finance costs accrued, refinancing professional fees 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 $26.0 million, to $151.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $125.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was mainly attributed to a $29.3 million decrease in net other expenses, which was partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in other finance costs, a $1.6 million increase in operating expenses, a $0.2 million decrease in operating performance of our equity investments and to a $0.1 million decrease in operating revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.8 million, to $153.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $154.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was mainly attributed to a $1.4 million increase in other finance costs, to a $0.2 million decrease in operating performance on our equity investments and to a $0.1 million decrease in operating revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is adjusted for $1.9 million of stock based compensation.

As of June 30, 2019, there was no remaining borrowing availability under our credit facilities. We were in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facilities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Additionally, in connection with the 2018 Refinancing, we undertook to refinance two of our 13,100 TEU vessels, the Hyundai Honour and Hyundai Respect, which was completed on April 12, 2019 through a sale and leaseback arrangement with a term of five years at the end of which we will reacquire the vessels. The net proceeds amounting to $144.8 million were applied pro rata to repay the existing credit facilities secured by mortgages on such vessels. As of June 30, 2019, we had $144.4 million in outstanding leaseback obligations. See Note 4 “Fixed Assets, Net” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

For additional details regarding the 2018 Refinancing and New 2018 Credit Facilities and the Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility, please refer to Note 10, “Long-term Debt, net” to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2019.

Reverse Stock Split

At our Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 5, 2019, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock with the exact ratio to be determined by our Board of Directors. On April 16, 2019, our Board of Directors determined to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock by a ratio of 1-for-14. The reverse stock split occurred, and our common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis as of the opening of trading on the NYSE on May 2, 2019 under our existing trading symbol “DAC”. The reverse stock split reduced the number of our outstanding shares of common stock from 213,324,455 to 15,237,456 and affected all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection to the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of our common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The par value and other terms of our common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split.

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 10, “Financial Instruments”, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We did not have any derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency translation of assets or liabilities or foreign currency transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered material off-balance sheet arrangements.

DANAOS CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The reporting and functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar.

Danaos Corporation (“Danaos” or “Company”), formerly Danaos Holdings Limited, was formed on December 7, 1998 under the laws of Liberia and is presently the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the companies listed below. Danaos Holdings Limited was redomiciled in the Marshall Islands on October 7, 2005. In connection with the redomiciliation, the Company changed its name to Danaos Corporation. On October 14, 2005, the Company filed and the Marshall Islands accepted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. The authorized capital stock of Danaos Corporation is 750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01. Refer to Note 12, “Stockholders’ Equity”. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and operation of vessels. Danaos conducts its operations through the vessel owning companies whose principal activity is the ownership and operation of containerships that are under the exclusive management of a related party of the Company.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) of Danaos and subsidiaries contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2019, the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the condensed consolidated cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Danaos’ Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from annual financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) represent the consolidation of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Inter-company transaction balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the companies are eliminated.

The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as defined in the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. The condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) have been prepared to reflect the consolidation of the companies listed below. The historical balance sheets and results of operations of the companies listed below have been reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity at and for each period since their respective incorporation dates. The consolidated companies are referred to as “Danaos,” or “the Company.”

On May 2, 2019, the Company effected a 1-for-14 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. All share and per share data disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively, for all periods presented. The reverse stock split reduced the number of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock from 213,324,455 to 15,237,456 on May 2, 2019 and affected all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection to the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The par value and other terms of the Company’s common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split.

2Significant 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, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, other than the following, there were no other significant changes made to the Company’s significant accounting policies:

Changes in Accounting Principles:

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 applies to both types of leases — capital (or finance) leases and operating leases. According to the new Accounting Standard, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. This guidance requires companies to identify lease and non-lease components of a lease agreement. Lease components relate to the right to use the leased asset and non-lease components relate to payments for goods or services that are transferred separately from the right to use the underlying asset. Total lease consideration is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone basis. The recognition of revenues related to lease components are governed by ASC 842 while revenue related to non-lease components are subject to ASC 606. In March 2018, the FASB tentatively approved a proposed amendment to ASU 842, that provide entities the optional transition method to initially account for the impact of the adoption with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings on the effective date of the ASU. In addition, lessors can elect, as a practical expedient, not to allocate the total consideration to lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone selling prices. As adopted by the Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-11 in July 2018, this practical expedient allows lessors to elect and account for the combined component based on its predominant characteristic. ASC 842 provides practical expedients that allow entities to not (i) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and in December 2018 the Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-20 “Narrow-scope improvements for lessors”, which further improve and clarify ASU 2016-02.

The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The Company derives its revenue from the time charters and bareboat charters of its vessels that are classified as operating leases. These charters involve placing the vessels at charterers use for a period of time in return for daily hire rates, which include lease component related to the right of use of the vessels and non-lease components primarily related to the operating expenses of the vessels paid by the Company. The revenue earned based on these charters is not negotiated in separate components. The Company elected the practical expedient to use the effective date of adoption as the date of initial application. Furthermore the Company elected practical expedients, which allow entities not (i) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (iii) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases and (iv) which allows to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component provided the criteria are met. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements since the Company is primarily a lessor and the accounting for lessors is largely unchanged under this standard.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. In December 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-19 “Codification improvements to Topic 326”, which clarifies that impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. The ASU 2016-13 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Restricted cash	—		—		2,812
Total	$	78,803	$	77,275	$	69,707

The Company was required to maintain cash of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2017 in retention bank accounts as a collateral for the upcoming scheduled debt payments of its KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facility, which were recorded under current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This credit facility was fully repaid in July 2018.

4Fixed assets, net

As of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $210.7 million in relation to ten of its vessels that are held and used. Fair value of each vessel was determined by management with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers.

The residual value (estimated scrap value at the end of the vessels’ useful lives) of the fleet was estimated at $378.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and as of December 31, 2018. 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. 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.

In connection with the 2018 debt refinancing, the Company undertook to seek to refinance two of its 13,100 TEU vessels, the Hyundai Honour and Hyundai Respect, which refinancing was completed on April 12, 2019 through a sale and leaseback arrangement with a term of five years, at the end of which the Company will reacquire the vessels for an aggregate amount of $52.6 million or earlier, at the Company’s option, for a purchase price set forth in the agreement. The net proceeds amounting to $144.8 million were applied pro rata to partially repay the existing credit facilities (Club Facility, Credit Suisse Facility, Citibank $114 mil. Facility and Citibank $123.9 mil. Facility) secured by mortgages on such vessels. This arrangement was recorded as failed sale and leaseback by the Company with the received proceeds recognized as a financial liability.

The scheduled leaseback instalments subsequent to June 30, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for drydocking and special survey costs in accordance with accounting for planned major maintenance activities, whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled survey, which is two and a half years.  If special survey or drydocking is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. Furthermore, when a vessel is drydocked for more than one reporting period, the respective costs are identified and recorded in the period in which they were incurred and not at the conclusion of the drydocking.

6Investments in affiliates

In August 2015, an affiliated company Gemini Shipholdings Corporation (“Gemini”) was formed by the Company and Virage International Ltd. (“Virage”), a company controlled by the Company’s largest shareholder. Gemini acquired a 100% interest in entities with capital leases for the Suez Canal and Genoa and that own the container vessels Catherine C and Leo C. Gemini financed these acquisitions with the assumption of capital lease obligations of $35.4 million, $19.0 million of borrowings under secured loan facilities and an aggregate of $47.4 million from equity contributions from the Company and Virage, which subscribed in cash for 49% and 51%, respectively, of Gemini’s issued and outstanding share capital. As of June 30, 2019, Gemini consolidated its wholly owned subsidiaries listed below:

Company	Vessel Name	Year Built	TEU	Date of vessel delivery
Averto Shipping S.A.	Suez Canal	2002	5,610	July 20, 2015

Leo Shipping and Trading S.A.	Leo C	2002	6,422	February 4, 2016
Springer Shipping Co	—	—	—	—

On May 29, 2019, an affiliated company of Gemini has entered into an agreement to acquire a 8,500 TEU container vessel built in 2006 for a gross purchase price of $25.3 million. An advance payment of $2.5 million was made and is outstanding as of June 30, 2019. This vessel is expected to be delivered in August 2019.

The Company has determined that Gemini is a variable interest entity of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, and as such, this affiliated company is accounted for under the equity method and recorded under “Equity income on investments” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company does not guarantee the debt of Gemini and its subsidiaries and has the right to purchase all of the beneficial interest in Gemini that it does not own for fair market value at any time after December 31, 2018, to the extent permitted under its credit facilities. The net assets of Gemini total $14.9 million as of June 30, 2019. The Company’s exposure is limited to its share of the net assets of Gemini proportionate to its 49% equity interest in Gemini.

The New 2018 Credit Facilities have maturity dates of December 31, 2023 (or in some cases June 30, 2024). The scheduled debt maturities of total long-term debt subsequent to June 30, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

As mentioned above, the Company is also subject to quarterly variable principal amortization based on actual free cash flows, which are included under “Final payments” in this table.

The Company incurred nil and $29.7 million of professional fees related to the refinancing discussions with its lenders reported under “Other income/(expenses), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Unpaid loan amendment fees of $17.8 million and $30.5 million are accrued under “Other current liabilities” and of $7.4 million and $14.8 million are accrued under “Other long-term liabilities” as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

10Financial Instruments

The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables and other assets. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long-term bank loans. 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 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.

10Financial Instruments (Continued)

Fair Value:  The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed 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 available for sale securities is estimated based on either observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. The Company is exposed to changes in fair value of available for sale securities as there is no hedging strategy.

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 $1.8 million was reclassified into earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.

Level I:  Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

The Company’s largest stockholder, Danaos Investment Limited (“DIL”), contributed $10 million to the Company in connection with the consummation of the Company’s debt refinancing on August 10, 2018. DIL did not receive any shares of common stock or other interests in the Company as a result of this contribution.

Additionally, on August 10, 2018, in connection with this debt refinancing, the Company issued 7,095,877 shares (99,342,271 shares before the 1-for-14 reverse stock split) new shares of common stock to certain of the Company’s lenders, which represented 47.5% of the outstanding common stock immediately after this issuance.

As of April 18, 2008, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved incentive compensation of Manager’s employees with its shares from time to time, after specific for each such time, decision by the compensation committee and the Board of Directors in order to provide a means of compensation in the form of free shares to certain employees of the Manager of the Company’s common stock. The plan was effective as of December 31, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the plan, employees of the Manager may receive (from time to time) shares of the Company’s common stock as additional compensation for their services offered during the preceding period. The total amount of stock to be granted to employees of the Manager will be at the Company’s Board of Directors’ discretion only and there will be no contractual obligation for any stock to be granted as part of the employees’ compensation package in future periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not grant any shares under the plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, no new shares were issued.

The plan was effective as of April 18, 2008. Each member of the Board of Directors of the Company may participate in the plan. Pursuant to the terms of the plan, directors may elect to receive in Common Stock all or a portion of their compensation. Following December 31 of each year, the Company delivers to each Director the number of shares represented by the rights credited to their Share Payment Account during the preceding calendar year. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, none of the directors elected to receive their compensation in Company shares.

On September 14, 2018, the Company granted 298,774 shares (4,182,832 shares before the 1-for-14 reverse stock split) of restricted stock to executive officers of the Company, 50% of which are scheduled to vest on December 31, 2019 and 50% of which are scheduled to vest on December 31, 2021.

12Stockholders’ Equity (Continued)

On May 2, 2019, the Company effected a 1-for-14 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. All share and per share data disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively, for all periods presented. The reverse stock split reduced the number of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock from 213,324,455 to 15,237,456 on May 2, 2019 and affected all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection to the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The par value and other terms of the Company’s common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split.

The Company is not permitted to pay cash dividends under the terms of the 2018 debt refinancing until (1) the Company receives in excess of $50 million in net cash proceeds from offerings of Common Stock and (2) the payment in full of the first installment of amortization payable following the consummation of the debt refinancing under each new credit facility and provided that an event of default has not occurred and the Company is not, and after giving effect to the payment of the dividend, in breach of any covenant.

13Lease Arrangements

Charters-out

The future minimum charter revenue, expected to be earned on non-cancellable time charters and bareboat charters classified as operating leases consisted of the following as of June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

Remainder of 2019	$	184,430
2020	362,091
2021	339,528
2022	268,529
2023	182,786
2024 and thereafter	119,284
Total future rentals	$	1,456,648

Revenue 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. The off-hire assumptions used relate mainly to drydocking and special survey maintenance carried out approximately every 2.5 years per vessel, or every 5 years for vessels less than 15-years old, and which may last approximately 10 to 15 days.
