Effect of Russian Invasion of Ukraine

We currently have four charterparties with a Russian counterparty that were entered into in 2012 and 2017, two of which expire in June 2022 and two expire in December 2023. These charterparties cannot be terminated without the consent of both parties, unless the counterparty was to become a sanctioned entity, which would render the charters void. Under the current circumstances, it would be our intention not to renew these charterparties when they expire.

We employ an aggregate of approximately 120 Russian and Ukrainian officers on board our vessels, many of whom are on the same vessels. We are monitoring this situation closely and we are mindful that there may be restrictions, logistical challenges or a complete inability to employ both nationalities in the near future. We understand there are approximately 70,000 Russian officers and approximately 50,000 Ukrainian Officers on the global fleet, which if unavailable in the future, would provide cost pressures from other nationalities or unavailability of suitably trained officers for our vessels.

Marine Export Terminal

The Marine Export Terminal exported approximately 241,500 metric tons of ethylene during the fourth quarter of 2021. The month of December showed a record for 2021 of nearly 100,000 metric tons passing through the terminal for exports. A wide ethylene arbitrage between the U.S. and international markets continued into January 2022, leading the terminal to reach a new monthly high of 106,000 metric tons of exports, before a reduction in activity prior to the Lunar New Year and the Winter Olympics in February 2022. However, higher global oil and energy prices from the second half of February 2022 and into March 2022 have resulted in increased ethylene demand from international buyers with total volume expected to be approximately 250,000 metric tons for the first quarter 2022.

Shipping Trends

The Company’s vessel utilization rose from a 2021 low point of 80.8% in September 2021 to a high of 95.4% in December 2021, with an average of 91.4% for the fourth quarter of 2021. According to broker reports, the freight markets for handysize semi-refrigerated gas carriers rose 15% from $590,000 per calendar month at the end of September 2021 to $680,000 per calendar month at the end of December 2021. This level has been maintained throughout the first two months of 2022.

The key drivers for these rises over the last three months of 2021 are two-fold. First, increased throughput activity at the Marine Export Terminal which had a positive impact on vessel demand. The total U.S. ethylene exports in August 2021 were just 30,000 metric tons, which increased month by month to approximately 120,000 metric tons during December 2021. In addition, U.S. exports of ethane on handysize and medium-size ethane gas carriers increased from 225,000 metric tons in October 2021 to an all-time high of 300,000 metric tons in December 2021. The combined impact of both C2 molecules, ethylene and ethane, lifted the shipping segment as a whole, leaving the specialized ethylene vessels carrying these products, thereby reducing inter-segment competition for other less complex petrochemical and LPG cargoes. Our petrochemical earnings days increased 16% quarter-on-quarter to a total of 1,664 earnings days during the fourth quarter of 2021. Secondly, demand for handysize cargo volumes of LPG, which traditionally increase during the months leading up to winter, provided additional LPG earning days, trending up 10% quarter-on-quarter to a total of 1,586 earnings days during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Historically, a high oil and energy price environment tends to increase demand for LPG and petrochemical gases, and we have seen recent signs of this dynamic. North American competitiveness, particularly the production of ethylene from domestically produced ethane, and its pricing relative to the rest of the world, has increased. In comparison, ethylene producers in Europe and Asia who are using naphtha as feedstock are facing negative margins, making ethylene from the U.S more attractive. The petrochemical producers who have flexible refining capabilities are changing feedstock from oil to gas. Consequently U.S. ethane is once again in high demand, with Asian buyers seeking handysize ethane cargo sizes.

This U.S. to Asia trade has usually only been commercially viable with larger ethane vessels, such as our medium-sized ethane carriers, but the demand of handysize cargos illustrates the importance and attractiveness of North American produced natural gas liquids for export, as well as their derivatives, such as ethylene. Increased demand of LPG as a substitute from naphtha, along with longer ton mile are both positive factors for our handysize vessel segment.

Factors Affecting Comparability

You should consider the following factors when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects:

• Our fleet size has changed. On August 4, 2021, we acquired an additional 18 LPG Carriers as part of the acquisition of Ultragas and Othello Shipping Company S.A. These vessels comprised:

• seven modern 22,000cbm handysize semi-refrigerated vessels;

• five 12,000cbm ethylene vessels; and

• six gas carriers in the 3,770-9,000cbm range, three of which are ethylene capable.

On September 28, 2021, the Company agreed to sell one of the older acquired vessels, the Happy Bride, a 1999 built 6,400 cbm LPG carrier to a third-party for $4.75 million. The sale was completed on October 12, 2021.

Given the increase in the number of vessels operating in our fleet, our historical financial statements reflect, and in the future will reflect, significantly different levels of ownership and operating days as well as different levels of voyage expenses, vessel operating expenses, interest expense and other related costs.

• We have additional financing arrangements. We have assumed five bank loan facilities through the acquisition of Ultragas and Othello Shipping Company S.A. The loans are secured on a total of 13 of the 18 vessels acquired, the other five vessels are unencumbered. The bank loans, which in aggregate have half yearly repayments of approximately $13.6 million, mature from June 2026 and accrues interest at U.S. LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.9% and 2.65%. In each case interest is fixed by an interest rate swap of approximately 2.0%. The financial covenants on these five bank loans were modified to align with those of Navigator bank covenants.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues, net of address commissions, was $105.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $22.3 million or 26.8% compared to $82.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to:

• an increase in operating revenues of approximately $11.5 million attributable to an increase in vessel available days of 598 days, or 17.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months to December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of seven additional handysize vessels joining the fleet as part of the Ultragas transaction;

• an increase in operating revenues of approximately $5.1 million attributable to an increase in average monthly time charter equivalent rates, which increased to an average of approximately $684,278 per vessel per calendar month ($22,497 per day) for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to an average of approximately $642,533 per vessel per calendar month ($21,123 per day) for the three months ended December 31, 2020;

5

• an increase in operating revenues of approximately $0.3 million attributable to a small increase in fleet utilization which rose to 91.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to 91.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2020; and

• an increase in operating revenues of approximately $5.4 million primarily attributable to an increase in pass through voyage costs, associated with the additional vessels joining the fleet for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The following table presents selected operating data for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, which we believe are useful in understanding the basis for movement in our operating revenues. It does not include our 10 owned smaller vessels in the independent commercially managed Unigas Pool or the five Pacific Gas owned vessels in our Luna Pool.

* Non-GAAP Financial Measure—Time charter equivalent: Time charter equivalent (“TCE”) rate is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. TCE is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For all charters, we calculate TCE by dividing operating revenues, less any voyage expenses, by the number of operating days for the relevant period. Under a time charter, the charterer pays substantially all of the vessel voyage related expenses, whereas for voyage charters, also known as spot market charters, we pay all voyage expenses. TCE rate is a shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and contracts of affreightment) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. We include average daily TCE rate, as we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with net operating revenues, because it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Our calculation of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

Operating Revenues – Unigas Pool. Operating revenues – Unigas Pool was $15.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and represents our share of the revenues earned from our 10 vessels operating within the Unigas Pool, based on agreed pool points. These vessels were acquired as part of the Ultragas transaction on August 4, 2021, and therefore there is no Operating Revenues—Unigas Pool for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Operating Revenues – Luna Pool Collaborative Arrangements. Pool earnings are aggregated and then allocated (after deducting pool overheads and managers fees) to the Pool Participants in accordance with the Pooling Agreement. Operating revenues—Luna Pool collaborative arrangements was $8.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and which represents our share of pool net revenues generated by the other participant’s vessels in the pool. The Luna Pool, which comprises nine of the Company’s ethylene vessels and five ethylene vessels from Pacific Gas Pte. Ltd., focuses on the transportation of ethylene and ethane to meet the growing demands of our customers.

Brokerage Commissions. Brokerage commissions, which typically vary between 1.25% and 2.5% of operating revenues, increased by $0.2 million or 11.9% to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues on which brokerage commissions are based.

Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses increased by $5.4 million or 32.4% to $21.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $16.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This increase is primarily due to voyage expenses of the additional seven handysize vessels acquired as part of the Ultragas transaction. These voyage expenses are pass through costs, corresponding to an increase in operating revenues of the same amount.

Voyage Expenses – Luna Pool Collaborative Arrangements. Voyage expenses – Luna Pool collaborative arrangements were $6.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. These voyages expenses – Luna Pool collaborative arrangements represent the other participant’s share of pool net revenues generated by our vessels in the pool. The net effect after deducting operating revenues – Luna Pool collaborative arrangements was that the other participant’s vessels contributed $1.9 million to our vessels in the Luna Pool for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to our vessels contributing $0.6 million to the other participant’s vessels for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased by $12.4 million or 43.8% to $40.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $28.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the additional Ultragas vessels joining the fleet. Average daily vessel operating expenses decreased by $120 per vessel per day, or 1.5%, to $7,999 per vessel per day for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $8,119 per vessel per day for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $6.6 million or 34.2% to $25.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $19.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This increase is as a result of the 18 additional Ultragas vessels in the fleet for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Depreciation and amortization included amortization of capitalized drydocking costs of $3.9 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively.

Impairment Losses on Vessels. Impairment losses on vessels were $63.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, following an impairment review on which the estimated useful life of the vessels was reduced from 30 years to 25 years. These impairment losses relate to a write down of the carrying values of nine vessels.

General and Administrative Costs. General and administrative costs increased by $3.9 million or 62.2% to $10.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $6.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the additional general and administrative costs of Ultragas of $1.4 million, severance costs of $1.1 million and legal and other costs incurred relating to the Ultragas transaction of $1.3 million.

Other Income. Other income was $0.1 million for both the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and consists of that portion of the management fees for commercial and administrative activities performed by the Company for the Luna Pool, relating to the other participant’s vessels.

Non-operating Results

Foreign Currency Exchange Gain/(Loss) on Senior Secured Bonds. Exchange gains and losses relate to non-cash movements on our 600 million Norwegian Kroner 2018 Bonds which are translated to U.S. Dollar at the prevailing exchange rate as of December 31, 2021. The foreign currency exchange gain of $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was as a result of the Norwegian Kroner weakening against the U.S. Dollar, being NOK 8.80 to USD 1.0 as of December 31, 2021 compared to NOK 8.75 to USD 1.0 as of September 30, 2021.

Unrealized Losses on Non-designated Derivative Instruments. The unrealized losses on non-designated derivative instruments of $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 primarily relates to the fair value movement in our cross-currency interest rate swap of $1.8 million and is due to the weakening of the Norwegian Kroner against the U.S. Dollar, offset by a gain of $0.4 million on the fair values of our other interest rate swaps. The unrealized gain on the cross-currency interest rate swap for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $8.4 million.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $1.6 million, or 18.0%, to $10.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $9.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This is primarily as a result of interest on the additional debt of $192.7 million assumed with the Ultragas transaction in August 2021.

Income Taxes. Income taxes related to taxes on our subsidiaries incorporated in the United States of America, United Kingdom, Poland and Singapore and our consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), incorporated in Malta. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, we had a tax charge of $0.9 million compared to taxes of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of taxes on our portion of the profits from the Marine Export Terminal.

Share of Result of Equity Accounted Joint Ventures. The share of result of the Company’s 50% ownership in the joint venture that owns the Marine Export Terminal (the “Export Terminal Joint Venture”) was income of $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to an income of $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This increase is primarily as a result of increased volumes exported through the Marine Export Terminal which were 241,500 tons for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to 125,300 tons for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Non-Controlling Interest. We have entered into a sale and leaseback arrangement in November 2019 with a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle (“lessor SPV”) of a financial institution. Although we do not hold any equity investments in this lessor SPV, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this entity and accordingly, we are required to consolidate this VIE into our financial results. Thus, the income attributable to the financial institution of $0.4 million is presented as the non-controlling interest in our financial results for both the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues, net of address commissions, increased by $33.3 million or 10.4% to $352.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $319.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to:

• an increase in operating revenues of approximately $15.8 million attributable to an increase in vessel available days of 841 days, or 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase in available days is primarily as a result of seven additional handysize vessels joining the fleet as part of the Ultragas transaction, less an additional 192 more drydocking days during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020;

• an increase in operating revenues of approximately $7.2 million attributable to an increase in average monthly time charter equivalent rates, which increased to an average of approximately $22,145 per vessel per day ($673,575 per vessel per calendar month) for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to an average of approximately $21,573 per vessel per day ($665,174 per vessel per calendar month) for the year ended December 31, 2020.

• an increase in operating revenues of approximately $1.7 million attributable to an increase in fleet utilization which rose to 87.4% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 86.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020; and

• an increase in operating revenues of approximately $8.6 million primarily attributable to an increase in pass through voyage costs, associated with the additional vessels joining the fleet during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following table presents selected operating data for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, which we believe are useful in understanding the basis for movements in operating revenues. It does not include our 10 owned smaller vessels in the independent commercially managed Unigas Pool or the five Pacific Gas owned vessels in our Luna Pool:

* Non-GAAP Financial Measure -Time charter equivalent: Time charter equivalent (“TCE”) rate is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. TCE is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For all charters, we calculate TCE by dividing operating revenues, less any voyage expenses, by the number of operating days for the relevant period. Under a time charter, the charterer pays substantially all of the vessel voyage related expenses, whereas for voyage charters, also known as spot market charters, we pay all voyage expenses. TCE rate is a shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and contracts of affreightment) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. We include average daily TCE rate, as we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with net operating revenues, because it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Our calculation of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of Operating Revenues to TCE rate

The following table represents a reconciliation of operating revenues to TCE rate. Operating revenues are the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the periods presented.

	Year Ended December 31, 2020		Year Ended December 31, 2021
Fleet Data:
Operating revenues (excluding collaborative arrangements)	$	319,665	$	352,922
Voyage expenses (excluding collaborative arrangements)		63,372		71,953
Operating revenues less Voyage expenses	$	256,293	$	280,969
Operating days		11,880		12,688
Average daily time charter equivalent rate	$	21,573	$	22,145

Operating Revenues – Unigas Pool. Operating revenues – Unigas Pool was $24.1 million for the five months from the date of the Ultragas transaction in August 2021 to December 31, 2021 and represents our share of the revenue earned from our 10 vessels operating within the Unigas Pool, based on agreed pool points.

Operating Revenues – Luna Pool Collaborative Arrangements. Operating revenues – Luna Pool collaborative arrangements was $26.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was principally due to the Luna Pool only becoming operational during the second quarter of 2020. Operating revenues—Luna Pool collaborative arrangements represent our share of pool net revenues generated by the other participant’s vessels in the pool.

10

Brokerage Commissions. Brokerage commissions, which typically vary between 1.25% and 2.5% of revenue, decreased by 5.8% to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This was primarily due to a charter negotiation directly with the charterer for which no broker commission was payable.

Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses increased by 13.5% to $72.0 million for year ended December 31, 2021, from $63.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to voyage expenses for the additional seven handysize vessels acquired as part of the Ultragas transaction. These voyage expenses are pass through costs, corresponding to an increase in operating revenues of the same amount.

Voyage Expenses – Luna Pool Collaborative Arrangements. Voyage expenses – Luna Pool collaborative arrangements were $20.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as the Luna Pool only became operational during the second quarter of 2020. Voyage expenses – Luna Pool collaborative arrangements represents the other participant’s share of pool net revenues generated by our vessels in the pool. The net effect after deducting voyage expenses – Luna Pool collaborative arrangements from operating revenues – Luna Pool collaborative arrangements was that the other participant’s vessels contributed $5.6 million to our vessels in the Luna Pool for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased by 20.2% to $131.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $109.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Average daily vessel operating expenses increased by $81 per vessel per day, or 1.0%, to $7,954 per vessel per day for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $7,873 per vessel per day for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $11.8 million or 15.4% to $88.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $76.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Depreciation and amortization included amortization of capitalized drydocking costs of $11.9 million and $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively.

Impairment Losses on Vessels. Impairment losses on vessels were $63.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, following an impairment review on which the estimated useful life of the vessels was reduced from 30 years to 25 years. These impairment losses relate to a write down of the carrying values of nine vessels.

General and Administrative Costs. General and administrative costs increased by $6.2 million or 26.0% to $30.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in general and administrative costs was primarily due to increased Directors and Officers liability insurance of $1.5 million, severance costs of $1.1 million, additional general and administrative costs of Ultragas of $2.3 million, and legal and other costs incurred relating to the Ultragas transaction of $1.3 million.

Other Income. Other income was $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and consists of that portion of the management fees for commercial and administrative activities performed by the Company for the Luna Pool, relating to the other participant’s vessels.

Non-operating Results

Foreign Currency Exchange Gain/(Loss) on Senior Secured Bonds. Exchange gains and losses relate to non-cash movements on our 2018 Bonds which are denominated in Norwegian Kroner and translated to U.S. Dollar at the prevailing exchange rate as of December 31, 2021. The foreign currency exchange gain on translation of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 was as a result of the Norwegian Kroner weakening against the U.S. Dollar, being NOK 8.80 to USD 1.0 as of December 31, 2021 compared to NOK 8.53 to USD 1.0 as of December 31, 2020. This compares to a foreign currency exchange loss on translation of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as the Norwegian Kroner strengthened against the U.S. Dollar for the year ended December 31, 2020.

11

Unrealized (Loss)/Gain on Non-designated Derivative Instruments. The unrealized loss of $1.3 million on non-designated derivative instruments relates to the fair value movement in our cross-currency interest rate swap and other interest rate swaps. The movement is primarily due to the weakening of the Norwegian Kroner against the U.S. Dollar, resulting in a loss of $2.2 million on our cross-currency interest rate swap, offset by a gain of $0.9 million on the fair values of our other interest rate swaps for the year ended December 31, 2021. The unrealized gain on our cross-currency interest rate swap for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2.9 million, offset by a loss of $0.1 million on the fair values of our interest rate swaps.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $2.4 million, or 5.8%, to $38.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $41.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in U.S. LIBOR, offset by interest on the additional debt of $192.7 million assumed with the Ultragas transaction in August 2021.

Loss on Repayment of 7.75% Senior Unsecured Bonds. In connection with the redemption of the 2017 Bonds, pursuant to which we redeemed all of the outstanding principal amount in September 2020, there was $0.2 million in redemption premium charges and a write off of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.3 million relating to the redemption of the 2017 Bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Write off of Deferred Financing Costs. The write off of deferred financing costs of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 related to the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of the $290.0 million secured revolving credit facility that was fully refinanced during the year, prior to its maturity date.

Income Taxes. Income tax relates to taxes on our subsidiaries incorporated in the United States of America, United Kingdom, Poland and Singapore and our consolidated VIE, incorporated in Malta. Our U.S. subsidiary is liable for taxes on the earnings from the Marine Export Terminal, two of our United Kingdom subsidiaries earn management and other fees from affiliates, and our Singaporean subsidiary earns interest from loans to our variable interest entity in Indonesia. The main corporate tax rates are 21%, 19%, 19%, 17% and 35% in the United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Singapore and Malta, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred taxes of $1.7 million, compared to taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $0.6 million.

Share of Result of Equity Accounted Joint Ventures. The share of result of the Company’s 50% ownership in the Export Terminal Joint Venture was income of $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of increased volumes exported through the Marine Export Terminal.

Non-Controlling Interest. We have entered into a sale and leaseback arrangement in November 2019 with a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle (“lessor SPV”) of a financial institution. While we do not hold any equity investments in this lessor SPV, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this entity and accordingly, we are required to consolidate this VIE into our financial results. Thus, the income attributable to the financial institution of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented as the non-controlling interest in our financial results.

Adjusted EBITDA(1)	$	31,988		$	55,176		$	124,237		$	155,755

¹  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP (non-GAAP financial measures). EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and impairment losses on vessels. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before foreign currency exchange gain or loss on senior secured bonds and unrealized gain or loss on non-designated derivative instruments. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to consolidated net income, cash generated from operations or any measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. See the table above for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income / (loss), our most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
