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 March 31, 2026 compared to three months ended March 31, 2025
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Danaos had an average of 75.0 container vessels and 10.1 drybulk vessels compared to 73.7 container vessels and 10.0 drybulk vessels during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our container vessels utilization for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 97.7% compared to 97.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our drybulk vessels utilization for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 82.0% compared to 92.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues increased by $0.4 million, to $253.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $253.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Operating revenues of our container vessels segment decreased by 2.8%, or $6.6 million, to $229.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $236.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, analyzed as follows:
| · | $7.2 million decrease in revenues due to non-cash revenue recognition in accordance with US GAAP; | |
| · | $6.9 million decrease in revenues as a result of lower charter rates between the two periods; |
partially off-set by:
| · | $3.9 million increase in revenues as a result of newbuilding containership vessel additions; | |
| · | $3.6 million increase in revenues as a result of improved fleet utilization between the two periods. |
Operating revenues of our drybulk vessels segment increased by 40.9%, or $7.0 million, to $24.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $17.1 million of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a significant improvement in Time Charter Equivalent rate per day, which increased to $24,825 per day in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $10,513 per day in the three months ended March 31, 2025. This improvement was partially offset by a lower fleet utilization rate of 82.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 92.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses decreased by $7.4 million to $10.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $18.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, mainly driven by (i) a $4.9 million gain arising from early termination agreements for certain container vessels operating under time charter arrangements, with retention of bunkers on redelivery at no consideration in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and (ii) a $2.2 million decrease in voyage expenses of our dry bulk vessels, attributed to the different mix of time charter and voyage charter contracts under which our dry bulk vessels were deployed between the two periods.
Voyage expenses of our container vessels segment decreased by $5.2 million to $3.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $8.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, mainly driven by a $4.9 million gain arising from early termination agreements for certain vessels operating under time charter arrangements, with retention of bunkers on redelivery at no consideration in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Voyage expenses of our dry bulk vessels segment decreased by $2.2 million to $7.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, voyage expenses of our dry bulk vessels comprised $1.5 million in commissions and $5.6 million in other voyage expenses (primarily bunker costs and port expenses), compared to $1.0 million in commissions and $8.3 million in other voyage expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting an increase in time charter employment of our dry bulk vessels during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
1
Vessel Operating Expenses
Vessel operating expenses decreased by $1.7 million to $50.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $51.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease occurred despite an increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet due to container vessel newbuilding deliveries and reflects a reduction in average daily operating costs to $6,680 per day from $7,028 per day in the prior-year period, mainly due to lower repairs and maintenance expenses. Management believes that our daily operating costs remain among the most competitive in the industry.
Vessel operating expenses for the container vessels segment decreased by $1.0 million, to $42.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $43.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by a reduction in daily container vessel operating expenses. Vessels employed under bareboat charter agreements are excluded from the above per-day calculations, as vessel operating expenses under such arrangements are borne by the charterer.
Vessel operating expenses for the dry bulk vessels segment decreased by $0.7 million, to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by a reduction in daily drybulk vessel operating expenses.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense increased by $0.9 million, to $40.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $40.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
Amortization of Deferred Drydocking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased by $1.3 million to $12.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $11.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting a larger number of vessels drydocked for which vessels drydocking amortization cost was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $2.4 million to $14.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to $1.3 million in higher management fees mainly driven by the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet, as well as a $1.1 million increase in corporate general and administrative expenses.
Interest Expense and Interest Income
Interest expense increased by $1.9 million, to $11.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $10.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in interest expense is a result of:
| · | $4.5 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in our average indebtedness by $329.7 million between the two periods, partially offset by a decrease in our average debt service cost. Average indebtedness was $1,107.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to average indebtedness of $777.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, while our average debt service cost decreased by approximately 0.5%, mainly as a result of lower SOFR rates between the two periods; | |
| · | $0.2 million increase in the amortization of deferred finance costs and debt discount between the two periods; |
partially off-set by:
| · | $2.8 million decrease in interest expense due to an increase in the amount of interest expense capitalized on our vessels under construction that was $7.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to capitalized interest of $4.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. |
As of March 31, 2026, our outstanding debt, gross of deferred finance costs, was $1,046.3 million, which includes $500.0 million principal amount of the 6.875% Senior Notes. This compares to $1,177.8 million of outstanding debt as of December 31, 2025, which included $262.8 million principal amount of the 8.5% Senior Notes and $500.0 million principal amount of the 6.875% Senior Notes. The decrease in our outstanding debt was mainly due to (i) the early prepayment of four secured facilities under the $450 million syndicated credit facility and (ii) the repayment of the $262.8 million principal amount of the 8.5% Senior Notes, partially offset by drawdowns under the JOLCO Facilities (as hereinafter defined).
Interest income increased by $4.0 million, to $7.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $3.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, mainly driven by higher average cash balances between the two periods, partially offset by lower interest rates on cash deposits between the corresponding periods.

Gain on Investments
The change in fair value of our shareholding interest in Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (“SBLK”) of $23.5 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as gain on investments compared to a $2.5 million gain in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Dividend Income
Dividend income of $2.3 million was derived from Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (“SBLK”) common shares in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a $0.3 million dividend income in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Loss on Equity Investments
Loss on equity investments amounting to $0.3 million and $0.2 million in the three months March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively, relates to our share of expenses of Carbon Termination Technologies Corporation (“CTTC”), currently engaged in the research and development of decarbonization technologies for the shipping industry.
Other Finance Expenses
Other finance expenses decreased by $0.1 million to $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Loss on Derivatives
Amortization of deferred realized losses on interest rate swaps remained stable at $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
Other Income/(Expenses), net
Other income/(expenses), net, amounted to an income of $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to an income of $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of funds has been operating cash flows and long-term bank borrowings, as well as funds from issuances of equity and debt securities, including offerings of our common stock, and unsecured senior notes in October 2025. We have also received funds from dividend payments on investments in marketable securities of other shipping companies. Our principal uses of funds have been capital expenditures to establish, grow (including vessels currently under construction) and maintain our fleet, including our expansion into the dry bulk shipping sector, to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, and to fund working capital requirements and the repayment of debt.
Our short-term liquidity needs primarily relate to funding our vessel operating expenses, drydocking costs, installment payments for our contracted newbuildings, funding of our investment in the Alaska LNG project, investments in marketable securities, debt interest payments, servicing our debt obligations, the payment of dividends and repurchases of our common stock. Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to installment payments for our contracted newbuildings, any additional vessel acquisitions, and debt repayment. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds will be cash from operations and equity or debt financings. We currently expect that the sources of funds available to us will be sufficient to meet our short and long term liquidity requirements.
Under our existing multi-year charters as of March 31, 2026, we had $4,056.4 million of total contracted revenues, with $734.9 million for the remainder of 2026, $934.7 million for 2027 and thereafter $2,386.8 million. Although these contracted cash revenues are based on contracted charter rates, we are dependent on the ability and willingness of our charterers to meet their obligations under these charters.
On March 2, 2026, we repaid in full our 8.5% senior notes due 2028, with an outstanding principal amount of $262.8 million. In addition, on March 2, 2026, together with the quarterly instalments under the Syndicated $450.0 million Facility for the tranches relating to the vessels Catherine C, Greenland, Interasia Accelerate, and Interasia Amplify, amounting to $3.3 million, we also prepaid in full the outstanding principal amount of $213.8 million.
In January 2026, we drew down the $80.0 million available under a Japanese operating lease agreement with a call option for the newbuilding container vessel Greenhouse. In March 2026, we entered into six additional Japanese operating lease agreements with call options (collectively, the “JOLCO Facilities”), providing for aggregate financing of up to $578.0 million, to finance six container vessels. In March 2026, we drew down an aggregate of $271.0 million under the facilities relating to three container vessels. In April 2026, an additional $100.0 million was drawn down under the facility relating to one vessel, and the remaining undrawn amount of $207.0 million under the respective facilities are expected to be drawn by the end of the second quarter of 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $876.2 million. As of the date of this report, we had $236.25 million of remaining borrowing availability under our Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility, the availability under which reduces on a quarterly basis through maturity in December 2027, $207.0 million under the JOLCO Facilities and $850.0 million of remaining borrowing availability under our Syndicated $850.0 million Facility. No amounts remain available for drawing under our Syndicated $450.0 million Facility.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $1,046.3 million of outstanding indebtedness (gross of deferred finance costs), including $500.0 million relating to our 6.875% Senior Notes, as discussed above. As of March 31, 2026, we were obligated to make quarterly fixed amortization payments, totaling $21.8 million to March 31, 2027, related to the long-term bank debt. We are also obligated to make certain payments to our Manager and Danaos Chartering under our management agreements.
From 2022 through the end of the first quarter of 2026, we entered into contracts for the construction of a total of 35 containerships aggregating 232,948 TEUs in capacity for an aggregate purchase price of $2.7 billion and four Newcastlemax dry bulk vessels aggregating approximately 844,000 DWT in capacity for an aggregate purchase price of $297.3 million. As of March 31, 2026, eight of the newbuilding containerships had been delivered to us.
As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate contracted purchase price of the 27 container vessels and the four drybulk vessels under construction amounted to $2,364.3 million, out of which $120.9 million, $190.0 million, $174.5 million and $28.3 million was paid in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the future remaining contractual commitments for the 27 container and the four drybulk vessels under construction were as follows (in millions of US$):
| Payments due by twelve month period ending: | US$ mil. | |||
| March 31, 2027 | $ | 568.7 | ||
| March 31, 2028 | 778.8 | |||
| March 31, 2029 | 477.9 | |||
| March 31, 2030 | 25.2 | |||
| Total contractual commitments | $ | 1,850.6 | ||
Additionally, a supervision fee of $850 thousand per newbuilding vessel is payable to Danaos Shipping Company Limited over the construction period starting from steel cutting. Supervision fees totalling $0.9 million and $1.9 million were charged by the Manager and capitalized to the vessels under construction in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and in the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Interest expense amounting to $7.2 million and $21.6 million was capitalized to the vessels under construction in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and in the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
In early May 2026, we added two 5,000 TEU containership vessels to our order book, scheduled for delivery in 2027. Currently, our containership orderbook consists of 29 newbuilding containership vessels with an aggregate capacity of 184,550 TEU with expected deliveries of three vessels in 2026, fifteen vessels in 2027, seven vessels in 2028 and four vessels in 2029. Our dry bulk vessel orderbook currently consists of four 211,000 dwt Newcastlemax dry bulk carriers, all with expected deliveries in 2028. On a pro forma, fully delivered basis, assuming the delivery of all vessels currently under construction and on order, our fleet would consist of 104 containerships with an aggregate capacity of approximately 662,041 TEUs and 15 dry bulk vessels, comprising 11 Capesize bulk carriers and four Newcastlemax bulk carriers, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 2.8 million DWT.
On February 9, 2026, we declared a dividend of $0.90 per share of common stock paid on March 4, 2026 to holders of record as of February 23, 2026, and on May 11, 2026, we declared a dividend of $0.90 per share of common stock payable on June 4, 2026, to holders of record on May 26, 2026. We intend to pay a regular quarterly dividend on our common stock, which will have an impact on our liquidity. Payments of dividends are subject to the discretion of our board of directors, provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to stockholders and the terms of our credit facilities, which permit the payment of dividends so long as there has been no event of default thereunder nor would occur as a result of such dividend payment, finance leases and 6.875% Senior Notes, which include limitations on the amount of dividends and other restricted payments that we may make, and will be subject to conditions in the container and drybulk shipping industries, our financial performance and us having sufficient available excess cash and distributable reserves.

In June 2022, we announced a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of our common stock. A $100.0 million increase to the existing share repurchase program, for a total aggregate amount of $200.0 million, was approved by our Board of Directors on November 10, 2023. On April 14, 2025, following Board approval, we announced the upsizing of its common stock repurchase program by an additional $100.0 million to a total of $300.0 million. As of the date of this report, under the $300.0 million authorized share repurchase program, we have repurchased a total of 3,247,444 shares of its common stock in the open market for $235.1 million. More specifically, we repurchased 60,819 shares of our common stock in the open market for $5.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026; 927,527 shares for $76.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2025; 661,103 shares for $53.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2024; 1,131,040 shares for $70.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 and 466,955 shares for $28.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. All purchases have been made on the open market within the safe harbor provisions of Regulation 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. Under the share repurchase program, shares of our common stock may be purchased in open market or privately negotiated transactions, at times and prices that are considered to be appropriate by us, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
We may also at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt securities through cash purchases, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Investments in marketable securities:
Yoda PLC Shares: In April 2026, we entered into an irrevocable share subscription agreement to acquire 45,454,545 newly issued ordinary shares, in Yoda PLC (CSE: YODA), a Cyprus-listed investment company. Yoda PLC’s portfolio is focused on shipping investments in the LNG and container sectors, real estate and other participations including healthcare. The shares were subscribed at €1.10 per share for total cash consideration of €50.0 million, approximately $58.6 million translated at the EUR/USD exchange rate prevailing at the date of subscription. The subscription was settled by cash payment. We do not hold a seat on Yoda's Board of Directors and does not exercise significant influence over Yoda's financial and operating policies.
Star Bulk Carriers Corp. Shares: In June 2023, we acquired marketable securities of Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc., which was an owner of bulk carriers listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Ticker: EGLE) consisting of 1,552,865 shares of common stock for $68.2 million (out of which $24.4 million from Virage International Ltd., our related company). On December 11, 2023, Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (Ticker: SBLK) and EGLE announced that both companies had entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger, which was completed on April 9, 2024. Under the terms of the agreement, EGLE shareholders received 2.6211 shares of SBLK common stock in exchange for each share of EGLE common stock owned. As of March 31, 2026 and as of the date of this report, we own 6,256,181 shares of common stock of Star Bulk Carriers Corp., a Nasdaq-listed owner and operator of drybulk vessels. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, these marketable securities were fair valued at $143.7 million and $120.2 million, respectively. We recognized a $23.5 million gain and a $2.5 million gain on these marketable securities reflected under “Gain on investments” in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and in the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. Additionally, we recognized dividend income on these shares amounting to $2.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and reflected under “Dividend income” in the condensed consolidated statement of income.
Investments accounted for under the equity method:
Equity Investment in Alaska LNG Project: In January 2026, we entered into a strategic partnership with Glenfarne Group to advance the Alaska LNG project. This partnership includes our $50.0 million development capital equity investment in Glenfarne Alaska Partners LLC and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In addition, Danaos Corporation will also be the preferred tonnage provider to construct and operate at least six LNG carriers to deliver LNG to global customers for Glenfarne Alaska LNG, LLC, majority owner and developer of the Alaska LNG Project. We do not control the Investee and do not participate in its management or policy-making activities. As of March 31, 2026, we have funded $12.5 million of the total committed equity investment in Glenfarne Alaska Partners LLC. The remaining commitment of $37.5 million is expected to be drawn over time in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement.
Equity Investment in Carbon Termination Technologies Corporation: In March 2023, we invested $4.3 million in the common shares of a newly established company, Carbon Termination Technologies Corporation (“CTTC”), incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which engages in research and development of decarbonization technologies for the shipping industry. This investment represents a 49% ownership interest and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In 2024 and 2025, we provided an additional funding of approximately $2.5 million to CTTC which bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus a margin of 2.0% and pursuant to an amendment executed on October 3, 2025, with a maturity date of December 31, 2026. On March 10, 2026, we provided an additional $0.4 million to CTTC under the existing facility. Our share of CTTC’s expenses amounted to $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and is presented in the consolidated statements of income under “Loss on equity investments” in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Impact of Inflation and Interest Rates Risk on our Business
We continue to see near-term impacts on our business due to elevated inflation in the United States of America, Eurozone and other countries, including ongoing global prices pressures, which continue to affect our operating expenses to a moderate extent. Interest rates have increased rapidly and substantially as central banks in developed countries raised interest rates in an effort to subdue inflation. The eventual long-term implications of tight monetary policy, and higher long-term interest rates may continue to drive a higher cost of capital for our business, including because borrowings under our credit facilities are advanced at a floating rate based on SOFR and we do not have any interest rate hedging arrangements.
Tariffs
Trade protectionism, including in the form of tariffs, could significantly adversely affect global economic conditions, global trade volume and the demand for seaborne transportation of containerized cargo. In April 2025, the United States imposed blanket 10% tariffs on virtually all imports to the U.S. and significantly higher tariffs applicable to imports from many countries, including tariffs aggregating over 100% on imports from China, as well as tariffs on specific goods which have resulted in other countries imposing additional tariffs, including substantial additional tariffs on imports from the U.S., announced by China, and is likely to continue to result in more retaliatory tariffs. On April 9, 2025, the U.S. announced a temporary pause on its tariffs applicable to many countries, while increasing the tariffs applicable to imports from China, with the U.S. subsequently announcing the imposition of substantial tariffs, well in excess of the blanket 10% tariff threshold previously announced, on numerous countries and specific goods effective from August 1, 2025. A ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in February 2026 invalidated many of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. administration in 2025, however, the U.S. administration immediately imposed new tariffs based on different statutory authority. The U.S. administration has and is expected to continue to broadly impose tariffs, which has led, and could lead to further, corresponding punitive actions by the countries with which the U.S. trades.
In April 2025, the U.S. also announced that it would impose additional port fees on (1) Chinese-owned ships of $50 per net ton for the arriving vessel commencing October 14, 2025, increasing to $80 per net ton on April 17, 2026, $110 per net ton on April 17, 2027 and $140 per net ton on April 17, 2028 and (2) operators of Chinese-built vessels of $18 per net ton ($120 per container, if applicable) commencing October 14, 2025, increasing to $23 per net ton ($153 per container, if applicable) on April 17, 2026, $28 per net ton ($195 per container, if applicable) on April 17, 2027 and $33 per net ton ($250 per container, if applicable) on April 17, 2028. On October 10, 2025, China announced port fees, effective October 14, 2025, on vessels built in the U.S., flying the U.S. flag or owned or operated by U.S. enterprises, other organizations, or individuals, including those in which U.S. enterprises, other organizations, or individuals directly or indirectly hold 25% or more of the equity (voting rights or board seats), in the following amounts: per voyage: (1) from October 14, 2025: RMB 400 per net ton; (2) from April 17, 2026: RMB 640 per net ton; (3) from April 17, 2027: RMB 880 per net ton; and (4) from April 17, 2028: RMB 1,120 per net ton. The U.S. and Chinese fees are each charged up to five times per year, per vessel. On October 30, 2025, the U.S. and China each announced that these port fees would be suspended for a one-year period. It is unknown the effect that these port fees, the implementation of which remains unclear, will have on us and our fleet or our industry generally. It is unknown the effect that these proposed new port fees, whether adopted in the form proposed or with modifications, will have on us and our fleet, which includes a number of Chinese-built vessels and newbuildings, or our industry generally.
These policy pronouncements have created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China, Canada, Mexico, the EU and other exporting countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs, and has led to concerns regarding the potential for an extended trade war. While the ultimate impact such developments, or the perception they may occur, will have on our industry and our business is currently unknown, such developments may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, and may significantly reduce global trade, which could adversely and materially affect freight rates and charter rates for our containerships to the extent we are seeking employment for our vessels and therefore our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Middle East Conflict
In March 2026, the outbreak of war in the Middle East between Iran and the U.S. and Israel, including strikes by Iran on energy infrastructure in a number of other Middle Eastern countries and related disruption of shipping in the Persian Gulf and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has resulted in a sharp increase in oil prices and concerns that the supply of crude oil, LNG and related energy products may be significantly constrained for some period of time. On April 7, 2026, a two-week ceasefire in the war between Iran and the U.S. and Israel was announced, which was subsequently extended; whether the ceasefire will hold or be further extended is uncertain.
The impact of this conflict on global demand for seaborne transportation of containerized and drybulk cargoes and global trading patterns for container and drybulk vessels, which initially has been limited, is uncertain, however if the high prices and volatility in the energy market persist, it could ultimately adversely affect global economic growth, which in turn could adversely affect container and drybulk vessel demand and our business. The foregoing risks should be read together with the tariff-related uncertainties described above, as both represent sources of potential disruption to global trade and economic activity.

Segments
Until the acquisition of the drybulk vessels in 2023, we reported financial information and evaluated our operations by total charter revenues. Since 2023, for management purposes, we are organized based on operating revenues generated from container vessels and drybulk vessels and have two reporting segments: (1) a container vessels segment and (2) a drybulk vessels segment. The container vessels segment owns and operates container vessels which are primarily chartered on multi-year, fixed-rate time charter and bareboat charter agreements. The drybulk vessels segment owns and operates drybulk vessels to provide drybulk commodities transportation services.
The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM monitors and assesses the performance of the container vessels segment and the drybulk vessels segment based on each segment’s net income. The CODM uses segment net income to evaluate the overall profitability of each segment on a consistent basis, identify trends in segment-level operating performance, and make decisions regarding the allocation of capital between the two segments. Items included in the applicable segment's net income are directly allocated to the extent that the items are directly or indirectly attributable to the segments. With regards to the items that are allocated by indirect calculations, their allocation is commensurate to the utilization of key resources. Other segment items include components that are not allocated to any of our reportable segments and include equity investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting and investments in marketable securities. These items are reviewed by the CODM at the consolidated level and are not considered in the evaluation of individual segment performance.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $29.2 million, to $163.1 million provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $133.9 million provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was the combined result of: (i) a $12.8 million increase in cash operating revenues, (ii) a $6.6 million decrease in total operating expenses, (iii) an $8.8 million increase in interest income, (iv) a $2.0 million increase in dividend income from investments, (v) a $1.9 million decrease in dry-docking expenses, and (vi) a $4.9 million positive change in working capital, partially offset by a $7.8 million increase in net finance costs.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $80.6 million, to $164.6 million used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $84.0 million used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was the combined result of: (i) a $45.5 million increase in payments for vessels under construction, (ii) a $21.7 million increase in payments for vessel acquisition, (iii) a $12.9 million increase in equity investments, and (iv) a $1.6 million decrease in net proceeds and insurance proceeds from disposal of vessels, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in vessel cost additions.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities increased by $137.0 million, to a financing activities outflow of $159.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to an outflow of $22.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was the combined result of: (i) a $476.6 million increase in early prepayment of long-term debt and senior notes due 2028, and (ii) a $0.5 million increase in dividend payments on our common stock, partially offset by: (i) a $307.0 million increase in debt proceeds, (ii) a $26.9 million decrease in repurchase of our common stock, (iii) a $3.3 million decrease in finance costs paid, and (iv) a $2.9 million decrease in amortization payments of long-term debt.
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. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in the shipping or other industries.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, 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, commitment fees and debt discount. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, depreciation, amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs, amortization of deferred realized losses of cash flow interest rate swaps, amortization of finance costs, commitment fees and debt discount, change in fair value of investments, stock-based compensation of executives and employees and loss on debt extinguishment. 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. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s 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.
9
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 $25.3 million, to $199.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $174.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $21.0 million increase in fair value gain on investments, (ii) a $6.6 million decrease in total operating expenses, (iii) a $2.0 million increase in dividends received, and (iv) a $0.4 million increase in operating revenues, partially offset by: (i) a $4.6 million increase in loss on debt extinguishment, and (ii) a $0.1 million increase in loss on equity investments.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 5.2%, or $8.9 million, to $180.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $171.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $6.6 million decrease in total operating expenses, (ii) a $2.0 million increase in dividends received, and (iii) a $0.4 million increase in operating revenues, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in loss on equity investments.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is adjusted for (i) a $23.5 million gain from the change in fair value of investments, (ii) a $4.6 million of loss on debt extinguishment and (iii) stock based compensation of $0.1 million.

Time Charter Equivalent Revenues and Time Charter Equivalent US$/day per segment
Time charter equivalent revenues is a non-GAAP measure and represents operating revenues less voyage expenses excluding commissions presented per container vessels segment and drybulk vessels segment separately. Time charter equivalent US$/per day (“TCE rate”) represents the average daily TCE rate of our container vessels segment and drybulk vessels segment calculated dividing time charter equivalent revenues of each segment by operating days of each segment. Operating days of each segment is calculated by deducting vessels off-hire days of each segment from total ownership days of each segment. TCE rate is a measure of the average daily net revenue performance of our vessels in each segment. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period to period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types i.e., voyage charters, time charters, bareboat charters under which its vessels may be employed between the periods. Our method of computing TCE rate may not necessarily be comparable to TCE rates of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. We include TCE rate, a non- GAAP measure, as it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with operating revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our operating vessels and assists investors and our management in evaluating our financial performance.

(1) We define Operating Days as the total number of Ownership Days net of Scheduled off-hire days (days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days) and net of off-hire days associated with unscheduled repairs or days waiting to find employment but including days our vessels were sailing for repositioning. The shipping industry uses Operating Days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues or are sailing for repositioning purposes. Our definition of Operating Days may not be comparable to that used by other companies in the shipping industry.
(2) Time charter equivalent US$/per day (“TCE rate”) represents the average daily TCE rate of our container vessels segment and drybulk vessels segment calculated dividing time charter equivalent revenues of each segment by operating days of each segment. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period to period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types i.e., voyage charters, time charters, bareboat charters under which its vessels may be employed between the periods.

On October 16, 2025, we consummated an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2032, which we refer to as 6.875% Senior Notes or the 6.875% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2032. The 6.875% Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of Danaos Corporation. The 6.875% Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of October 16, 2025, between Danaos Corporation and Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as trustee, paying agent, registrar and transfer agent (the “Indenture”). The 6.875% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per year, payable in cash on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2026. The 6.875% Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2032. For additional details regarding the Senior Notes please refer to Note 7, “Long-term Debt, net” in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects –Senior Notes” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2026.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We did not enter into derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency translation of assets or liabilities or foreign currency transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, we invested approximately $58.6 million in cash to acquire an equity investment denominated in Euro, as described above in Liquidity and Capital Resources section. This investment will be measured at fair value through net income under ASC 321, and its USD carrying value will be subject to EUR/USD exchange rate fluctuations in future periods. We have not entered into any hedging instruments with respect to this exposure.

Impact of Inflation and Interest Rates Risk on our Business
We continue to see near-term impacts on our business due to elevated inflation in the United States of America, Eurozone and other countries, including ongoing global prices pressures in the wake of the war in Ukraine, driving up energy and commodity prices, which continue to affect our operating expenses to a moderate extent. Interest rates have increased rapidly and substantially as central banks in developed countries raise interest rates in an effort to subdue inflation. The eventual implications of tighter monetary policy, and potentially higher long-term interest rates may drive a higher cost of capital for our business, including because borrowings under our credit facilities, which are increasing as we fund the cost of our contracted container vessel newbuildings, are advanced at a floating rate based on SOFR and we do not have any interest rate hedging arrangements.
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 8, “Financial Instruments”, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Forward Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning our operations, cash flows, financial position, including with respect to vessel and other asset values, contracted revenue, fleet growth, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, performance or business prospects, changes and trends in our business and the markets in which we operate, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions. Although Danaos Corporation believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, Danaos Corporation cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, geopolitical conditions, including any trade disruptions resulting from tariffs, port fees and other protectionist measures imposed by the United States or other countries, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, charter counterparty performance, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, our ability to operate profitably in the drybulk sector, performance of shipyards constructing our contracted newbuilding vessels, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in our financing arrangements, actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, including the conflict in Ukraine and related sanctions, the conflicts in the Middle East, potential disruption of shipping routes such as Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden and the effective closure of the Persian Gulf, including the Strait of Hormuz, due to the conflict between Iran and the U.S. and Israel, due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.
Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Secured Credit Facilities:
Syndicated $450.0 mil. Facility
In March 2024, the Company entered into a syndicated secured loan facility agreement providing for a maximum principal amount of up to $450.0 million (the “Syndicated $450.0 mil. Facility”). The facility was initially secured by eight of the Company’s container vessels, including the vessel Greenhouse, which was under construction and delivered to the Company in the fourth quarter of 2025. In September 2025, the Company submitted a cancellation notice to the bank related to the undrawn $44.0 million tranche associated with Greenhouse and the vessel was subsequently financed under a Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option arrangement (see “JOLCO Facilities”).
The facility was structured in separate vessel tranches, each drawn upon delivery of the respective vessel. As of March 31, 2026, all seven vessel tranches had been fully utilized. Each drawn vessel tranche is repayable in 20 equal quarterly instalments ranging from $0.6 million to $0.9 million per tranche, followed by a balloon payment due on the fifth anniversary of each tranche, ranging from $31.8 million to $45.5 million, with final maturities extending through September 2030. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.85% and are subject to a commitment fee of 0.74% on undrawn amounts. On October 1, 2025, the Company prepaid the outstanding principal amount of $42.78 million related to the newbuilding vessel Phoebe, which had been drawn in January 2025 and the vessel was subsequently financed under a Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option arrangement (see “JOLCO Facilities”).
On March 2, 2026, the Company together with the quarterly instalments for the tranches relating to the vessels Catherine C, Greenland, Interasia Accelerate, and Interasia Amplify, also prepaid in full the outstanding principal amounts of these tranches. In connection with this prepayment, unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.4 million were written off and recognized as “Loss on debt extinguishment” in the condensed consolidated statement of income.
Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility
In December 2022, the Company early extinguished the remaining $437.75 million outstanding under the then existing Citibank/NatWest $815.0 million facility and replaced it with a $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility with Citibank (the “Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility”) and with Alpha Bank $55.25 mil. Facility (as defined below). As of March 31, 2026, no amounts were drawn down under Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility. The Citibank $382.5 million Revolving Credit Facility is a reducing facility and is repayable over five years through 20 quarterly commitment reductions of $11.25 million each, followed by a final reduction of $157.5 million at maturity in December 2027. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at SOFR plus a margin of 2.0%, and a commitment fee of 0.8% is payable on the undrawn portion. The facility is secured by sixteen of the Company’s vessels.

Secured Credit Facilities (Continued):
Syndicated $850.0 mil. Facility
In February 2025, the Company entered into a syndicated loan facility agreement for a maximum principal amount of up to $850.0 million (the “Syndicated $850.0 mil. Facility”), to finance a portion of the purchase price of 14 newbuilding container vessels. The facility is expected to be drawn upon delivery of each vessel in separate tranches. Each vessel tranche is repayable in 20 equal quarterly instalments of approximately $0.8 million per tranche followed by a final payment on the fifth anniversary of each vessel’s tranche of between $42.4 million and $46.7 million per tranche up to December 2033. The facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.65% and commitment fee of 0.50%. As of March 31, 2026, no amounts were drawn down under Syndicated $850.0 mil. Facility.
JOLCO Facilities
In October 2025 and December 2025, the Company entered into Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option arrangements (the “JOLCO Facilities”) to finance the container vessels Phoebe and Greenhouse, respectively, and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company entered into additional JOLCO Facilities to finance the container vessels Interasia Accelerate, Interasia Amplify, Catherine C, Greenland, Greenville and Greenfield. Although legal title to the vessels was transferred to the respective lessors as part of these arrangements, the transactions did not qualify as sales under the sale-leaseback guidance in ASC 842 (which incorporates the sale criteria in ASC 606) and are therefore accounted for as failed sale-leaseback transactions and financing arrangements in accordance with ASC 470. Accordingly, the vessels continue to be recognized within “Fixed assets, net” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and are depreciated over their remaining useful lives, and the proceeds received are recognized as financing liabilities. Each facility provides funding ranging from $80.0 million to $103.5 million, has an approximate term of eight years and includes call options that allow the Company to repurchase the respective vessels at specified dates during the term of the arrangements.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had drawn $431.0 million in aggregate proceeds under these arrangements, which were recognized as financing liabilities, while the remaining $307.0 million commitment relates to the Greenland, Greenville and Greenfield facilities, which will be drawn subsequent to March 31, 2026. The undrawn commitments are subject to customary conditions precedent to drawdown under the respective agreements. As of March 31, 2026, in relation to the five JOLCO Facilities under which amounts had been drawn, debt issuance costs of $5.0 million were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the facilities using the effective interest method.

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, cash equivalents 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.
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 senior unsecured notes is measured based on quoted market prices. The fair value of marketable securities is measured based on the closing price of the securities on a stock exchange.

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 $0.9 million was reclassified into earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 Company determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy.
Level I: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Charters-out
As of March 31, 2026, the Company generated operating revenues from its 75 container vessels on time charters or bareboat charter agreements, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 2032. Additionally, the Company contracted 5-year, 7-year and 10-year time charter agreements for the 21 out of 27 container vessels under construction as of March 31, 2026. Under the terms of the charter party agreements, most charterers have options to extend the duration of contracts ranging from less than one year to four years after the expiration of the contract. The Company determines fair value of its vessels at the lease commencement date and at the end of lease term for lease classification with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers. The Company manages its risk associated with the residual value of its vessels after the expiration of the charter party agreements by seeking multi-year charter arrangements for its vessels.
In May 2022, the Company received $238.9 million of charter hire prepayment related to charter contracts for 15 of the Company’s vessels, representing partial prepayment of charter hire payable up to January 2027. This charter hire prepayment is recognized in revenue through the remaining period of each charter party agreement, in addition to the contracted future minimum payments reflected in the table below. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding balances of the current and non - current portion of unearned revenue in relation to this prepayment amounted to $17.1 million and nil, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balances of the current and non - current portion of unearned revenue in relation to this prepayment amounted to $20.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
The future minimum payments, expected to be received on non-cancellable time charters and bareboat charters classified as operating leases consisted of the following as of March 31, 2026 (in thousands of US$):
| Period | in '000s of US$ | |||

In connection with these time charter terminations, the Company recorded a $4.9 million net gain within “Voyage Expenses”, in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The net gain mainly reflects the retention of bunkers on redelivery at no consideration.
| 15. | Segments |
Until the acquisition of the drybulk vessels in 2023, the Company reported financial information and evaluated its operations by total charter revenues. Since 2023, for management purposes, the Company is organized based on operating revenues generated from container vessels and drybulk vessels and have two reporting segments: (1) a container vessels segment and (2) a drybulk vessels segment. The container vessels segment owns and operates container vessels which are primarily chartered on multi-year, fixed-rate time charter and bareboat charter agreements. The drybulk vessels segment owns and operates drybulk vessels to provide drybulk commodities transportation services.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM monitors and assesses the performance of the container vessels segment and the drybulk vessels segment based on each segment’s net income. The CODM uses segment net income to evaluate the overall profitability of each segment on a consistent basis, identify trends in segment-level operating performance, and make decisions regarding the allocation of capital between the two segments. Items included in the applicable segment's net income are directly allocated to the extent that the items are directly or indirectly attributable to the segments. With regards to the items that are allocated by indirect calculations, their allocation is commensurate to the utilization of key resources. Other segment items include components that are not allocated to any of the Company’s reportable segments and include equity investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting and investments in marketable securities. These items are reviewed by the CODM at the consolidated level and are not considered in the evaluation of individual segment performance.
