|---|---|
| ~~◾~~ | Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the three months<br>ended September 30, 2023 were $12.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively, compared to $18.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

|---|---|
| ~~◾~~ | Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the nine months ended<br>September 30, 2023 were $48.7 million and $20.0 million, respectively, compared to $23.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

As previously announced, the Company has also entered into an agreement with affiliates of the Vafias family to acquire two tanker vessels, the aframax tanker Stealth Haralambos, built in 2009 and the product tanker Aquadisiac built in 2008, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 163,716 dwt. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions is $71 million. Both vessels will be delivered on a charter-free basis by the end of January 2024. The Company expects to finance the purchase price with cash-on-hand.
CEO Harry Vafias Commented
I am very pleased with our performance during the nine months of 2023. In this period, we managed to generate net income of $64.7 million and operating cash flows of $73.7 million—both results being well above our current market capitalization. I am also pleased by our Board’s strategic decision to commence a share buyback program of $10 million as this is a means to give value back to our shareholders. Under this program we have purchased to date about 1.1 million shares and in addition we have repurchased 2.58 million outstanding warrants, as we aspire that these recent moves together with our strong financial results and healthy balance sheet will soon be reflected in our share price.
