Management Commentary
Mr. Jerry Kalogiratos, Chief Executive Officer of our General Partner, commented:
“This has been another quarter of key milestones for the Partnership. First and foremost, the renaming of the Partnership as “Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp.” (Ticker Nasdaq: CCEC)” and its conversion into a Marshall Islands corporation with high standards corporate governance, is an important step in our strategic evolution, which we announced in November 2023.
In addition, the delivery during the quarter of three latest generation LNG carriers takes our LNG fleet to 12 such vessels, with another six to come in 2026-2027. The acquisition of ten specialist gas carriers in June further cements our pivot toward one of the world’s leading platforms of gas carriage solutions with a focus on energy transition, while we continue to evaluate our divestment plans for our legacy container vessels. The current platform is well placed to grow over the next 30 months with the addition of 16 new vessels supported by a current contract backlog of more than USD 2.8 billion. The board and management look forward to building the platform further and opening the company to a broader investor base.”
Overview of Second Quarter 2024 Results
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $34.2 million compared with net income of $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. Taking into account the interest attributable to the general partner, net income per common unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $0.62 compared to net income per common unit of $0.36 for the second quarter of 2023.
Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $97.7 million, compared to $88.5 million during the second quarter of 2023. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the revenue contributed by the newbuilding vessels acquired by the Partnership, partly offset by the sale of certain of the Partnership’s vessels.
2
Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, were $48.3 million, compared to $50.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. Total vessel operating expenses during the second quarter of 2024 amounted to $20.2 million, compared to $23.5 million during the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in vessel operating expenses was mainly due to the net decrease in the average number of vessels in our fleet. Total expenses for the second quarter of 2024 also include vessel depreciation and amortization of $22.6 million, compared to $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in depreciation and amortization during the second quarter of 2024 was mainly attributable to the higher depreciation expense due to the change in the composition of our fleet which now includes a higher number of LNG/Cs. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2024 increased to $3.3 million, compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, mainly attributable to costs associated with the LNG/C Transaction.
Total other expense, net for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $30.4 million compared to $22.6 million for the second quarter of 2023. Total other expense, net includes interest expense and finance cost of $31.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $25.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in interest expense and finance cost was mainly attributable to the increase in the Partnership’s average indebtedness and the increase in the weighted average interest rate compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Capitalization of the Partnership
As of June 30, 2024, total cash amounted to $101.2 million. Total cash includes restricted cash of $12.9 million, which represents the minimum liquidity requirement under our financing arrangements.
As of June 30, 2024, total partners’ capital amounted to $1,230.0 million, an increase of $55.1 million compared to $1,174.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase reflects net income of $68.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, other comprehensive income of $0.2 million relating to the net effect of the cross-currency swap agreement we designated as an accounting hedge and the amortization associated with the equity incentive plan of $3.5 million, partly offset by distributions declared and paid during the period in a total amount of $16.7 million.
As of June 30, 2024, the Partnership’s total debt was $2,596.5 million before financing fees, reflecting an increase of $808.7 million compared to $1,787.8 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase is attributable to (i) the drawdown of $190.0 million of bank debt and a drawdown of $92.6 million under the $220.0 million unsecured seller’s credit issued to the Partnership by Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. to finance a portion of the purchase price for the vessels in the LNG/C Transaction (the “Seller’s Credit”), in connection with the acquisition of the LNG/C Axios II, (ii) $240.0 million of debt financing we issued in connection with the acquisition of the LNG/C Assos, (iii) $192.0 million of bank debt and a drawdown of $2.3 million under the
3
Seller’s Credit for the acquisition of the LNG/C Apostolos, (iv) the $240.0 million of bank debt and a drawdown of $39.9 million under the Seller’s Credit for the acquisition of the LNG/C Aktoras and (v) the refinancing of outstanding indebtedness of $99.4 million with respect to the LNG/C Aristidis I by entering into a new $155.0 million bank facility. The increase of the Partnership’s total debt was partly offset by (i) the $9.2 million decrease as of June 30, 2024 in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the euro-denominated bonds issued by CPLP Shipping Holdings Plc in July 2022 and October 2021, (ii) scheduled principal payments for the period of $52.9 million, (iii) the early repayment in full of the facility we entered into in 2020 to partly finance the acquisition of the M/V Athos and the M/V Aristomenis in the l amount of $50.6 million due to the vessels’ sale, (iv) the early repayment in full of the facility we entered into in 2020 to refinance the then outstanding facility of the M/V Akadimos of a total amount of $38.3 million due to the vessel’s sale and (v) the repayment in full of $92.6 million of the Seller’s Credit we drew to partly finance the acquisition of LNG/C Axios II.
Operating Surplus
Operating surplus for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, amounted to $49.3 million, compared to $48.3 million for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2024. We allocated $43.6 million to the capital reserve, an increase of $4.9 million compared to the previous quarter due to the net increase in the rate of amortization of our debt. Operating surplus for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, after the quarterly allocation to the capital reserve, was $5.6 million. Operating surplus is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of the Partnership and other limited partnerships. Please refer to Appendix A at the end of the press release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure with net income.
LNG/Cs Deliveries & LNG/C Transaction Update
On May 31, 2024, the Partnership took delivery of the LNG/C Assos. The vessel commenced a ten-year time charter with Tokyo LNG Tanker Co. Ltd. (“Tokyo Gas”). The vessel acquisition was financed with $9.3 million cash at hand and $240.0 million of a Japanese operating lease with a call option (“JOLCO”). The JOLCO amount consists of 80% debt and 20% tax equity, with escalating amortization, an eight-year term and a balloon payment of $164.4 million due in May 2032.
On June 5, 2024, the Partnership took delivery of the LNG/C Aktoras. The vessel commenced a seven-year bareboat charter with Bonny Gas Transport Limited (“BGT”), who maintain an option to extend by an additional three years. The vessel acquisition was financed with a drawdown of $39.9 million under the Seller’s Credit and a new senior secured loan facility for an amount of $240.0 million, repayable in 28 equal quarterly instalments of $3.3 million and a balloon payment of $149.0 million together with the final quarterly instalment in June 2031.

On June 28, 2024, the Partnership took delivery of the LNG/C Apostolos. The vessel commenced a charter for ten and half years with LNG Marine Transport Limited (“JERA”), who maintain an option to extend by an additional three years. The vessel acquisition was financed with $77.5 million cash at hand, a new senior secured bridge loan facility for an amount of $192.0 million and a drawdown of $2.3 million under the Seller’s Credit. The bridge facility was repaid upon the drawdown of a $240.0 million JOLCO on July 16, 2024. The JOLCO amount consists of 80% debt and 20% tax equity, with escalating amortization, an eight-year term and a balloon payment of $166.8 million due in July 2032. Since the closing of the LNG/C Transaction in December 2023, the Partnership has taken delivery of five LNG/Cs all of which are on term charters, with a remaining six LNG/Cs to be delivered between the first quarter of 2026 through the first quarter of 2027.
Our 12 LNG/C fleet in the water has a remaining revenue weighted charter duration of 7.2 years and $2.3 billion in contracted revenue.
The remaining capital expenditure commitment relating to the LNG/C Transaction as of June 30, 2024, is $1,294.9 million.

LNG/Cs Financing Updates
On May 14, 2024, the Partnership agreed an amendment to certain terms of the sale and leaseback facility for LNG/C Aristos I and the LNG/C Aristarchos that we assumed in 2021. For the LNG/C Aristos I, the outstanding amount is repayable in 66 monthly instalments of $0.5 million, together with a re-purchase obligation of $84.7 million due at the expiration of the lease in November 2029. For the LNG/C Aristarchos, the outstanding amount is repayable in 73 monthly instalments of $0.5 million, together with a re-purchase obligation of $84.7 million at the expiration of the lease in June 2030.
| 3 | The BBC with BGT is expected to commence in 1Q 2025, after a 1-year, index-linked TC currently in progress. |
5
On June 25, 2024, the Partnership agreed to refinance the facility of the LNG/C Aristidis I, by fully repaying outstanding debt of $99.4 million and drawing $155.0 million under a new bank facility. The new senior secured loan is repayable in 28 equal quarterly instalments of $1.9 million and a balloon payment of $100.8 million, together with the final quarterly instalment in June 2031.
The Seller’s Credit has been fully utilized and following the latest repayment of $92.6 million, the outstanding amount is $42.2 million.
Following the above financings, as of June 30, 2024, the weighted average margin was 1.94% over SOFR for our floating rate debt compared to 2.36% in the second quarter of 2023.
Liquid CO2 and LPG-Ammonia Carriers Acquisition
On June 3, 2024, the Partnership announced an investment in the Gas Fleet for $756.0 million with expected deliveries between the first quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2027. Six vessels are MGCs and four are LCO2 carriers that can also carry LPG, ammonia and other related cargoes. The transaction is a key strategic expansion with an eye to the energy transition, adding complementary gas capability to core LNG competence and including pioneering vessels in the transportation of LCO2 and low carbon ammonia. The transaction is expected to be funded using cash at hand obtained primarily from the sales of container vessels and debt financing. This is a unique opportunity undertaken by CPLP to increase its footprint into the conventional gas and energy transition gas sectors, whilst retaining the core focus on LNG.

| 4 | The ship building contracts were initially entered into by Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. The acquisition/contract prices paid by CPLP correspond to the actual ship building cost for all vessels except for the ones with Expected Delivery in January 2026 and April 2026, which were acquired pursuant to the rights of first refusal agreed under the Umbrella Agreement dated November 13, 2024. These vessels were ordered in July 2023 and were acquired by CPLP at the same cost that the last two LCO2 / Multi Gas Carriers which were contracted in January 2024. CPLP reimbursed CMTC for a total amount of $74.7 million representing advances made to the shipyards by CMTC under certain of the ship building contracts and a profit of $11.5 million. |

Quarterly Common Unit Cash Distribution
On July 24, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.15 per common unit for the first quarter of 2024 payable on August 12, 2024, to common unit holders of record on August 6, 2024.
LNG Market Update
LNG spot rates remained relatively steady from mid-January to the end of May 2024. Since then, there has been a continued improvement, as shipping availability for loadings out of the US Gulf in July dwindled, leading to an increase in spot rates. In the first week of July, spot rates for two-stroke vessels reached $90,000 per day. Additionally, term charter rates for 1–3-year periods are currently at $90,000 per day. Global LNG imports continue to be robust across most regions, with China maintaining near seasonal record levels. Notably, imports to China have begun 2024 at record levels, increasing by approximately 24% year-on-year. Meanwhile, European LNG import volumes have remained relatively high, averaging nearly 29 cargoes per week. However, lower-than-expected gas demand coupled with high inventory levels, are exerting downward pressure on LNG demand in Europe.
The LNG fleet has expanded by 10 ships in the second quarter of 2024, with a total of 20 vessels delivered so far this year. Newbuilding prices for LNG carriers remain steady, currently at $260.0 million per vessel for the basic specification. Shipyard capacity is also constrained, with no slots available for new builds in 2026 and limited availability in 2027.
Starting in 2025, LNG capacity additions are expected to accelerate. From an average of 13 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”) during 2020-2024, the capacity additions are projected to average 48 mtpa yearly during 2025-2028, reaching a peak of 70 mtpa in 2026. This accelerated growth underscores the strong demand and strategic importance of LNG. The United States and Qatar are set to be the primary drivers of this capacity expansion. Together, they will account for approximately 60% of the total capacity additions between 2025 and 2028, with the US contributing around 40% and Qatar around 20%.
Container Market Update
The second quarter of the year saw remarkable gains, with container freight reaching the highest levels since the COVID period. The market appears driven by ongoing disruptions in the Red Sea, which has created various bottleneck effects around the world – both in ports and inland. In addition to this, there is record demand for containerized cargo, possibly fueled by shipper’s fear of even more extended disruptions and delays.
8
Since the beginning of the year, the Clarkson’s containership charter rate index increased by 153%, reigniting interest in a previously dull second-hand and newbuild market. Consequently, the secondhand market for a 10-year-old container 5,100 teu (charter-free) has increased by about 61% in the same period.
The strong container markets provide CPLP with optionality regarding future divestment plans given its five 5,000 TEU vessels on contract into 2025 and three 13,000 TEU units on duration well into 2030. Management will continue to evaluate closely trends and developments in this market, in order to maximize returns.

Appendix A – Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)
Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Operating Surplus
Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, exchange differences on Bonds, change in fair value of derivatives, gain on sale of vessels, impairment of vessel, amortization / accretion of above / below market acquired charters and straight-line revenue adjustments. Operating Surplus is a quantitative measure used in the publicly traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s financial performance and ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Operating Surplus is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Our calculation of Operating Surplus may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The table below reconciles Operating Surplus to net income for the following periods:
