Exhibit 99.1
Pyxis Tankers Announces Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and
Investment in Drybulk Joint Venture
Maroussi, Greece, July 31, 2023 – Pyxis Tankers Inc. (NASDAQ Cap Mkts: PXS) (the “Company” or “Pyxis Tankers”), an international product tanker company, today announced its unaudited results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023.
Summary
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our Revenues, net were $9.5 million. For the same period, our time charter equivalent (“TCE”) revenues were $8.6 million, representing a decrease of approximately $2.7 million, or 23.7%, over the comparable period in 2022 when we operated more vessels. Our net income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.8 million, representing a decrease of $1.8 million from net income of $4.6 million in the comparable period of 2022. For the second quarter of 2023, the net income per share was $0.25 basic and $0.23 diluted compared to the net income per share of $0.43 basic and $0.38 diluted for the same period in 2022. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $5.2 million, which represented a decrease of $2.0 million over the comparable period in 2022. Please see “Non-GAAP Measures and Definitions” below.
Valentios Valentis, our Chairman and CEO, commented:
“We are pleased to report solid results for our second fiscal quarter 2023 with Revenues, net of $9.5 million and Net Income attributable to common shareholders of $2.8 million. Despite inflationary pressures, resilient economic activity and increasing mobility in many parts of the world have resulted in what we believe is good demand for transportation fuels. Favorable market fundamentals have been supported by continued low inventories of many refined products and more significantly, the impact of the war in the Ukraine has led to further market dislocation, including arbitrage opportunities, as well as the redirection of trade flows from shorter-haul to longer distances resulting in ton-mile expansion of seaborne cargoes, thereby reducing available capacity. Consequently, chartering activity for product tankers remains healthy and asset values high, reflecting a sustainable and constructive environment for the sector.
After completing the sale of our 14-year-old tanker in March 2023 at a relatively high historical price as compared to the sale prices of similar vessels, we now own and operate four modern Eco-efficient MR’s. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 our daily TCE rate for these vessels increased 18.6% to $24,980 compared to the same period in 2022. While we expect summer to be a seasonally softer chartering environment, our bookings remain strong. As of July 26, 2023, 55% of the available days in the third quarter of 2023 for our MR’s were booked at an estimated average TCE of $27,800 per vessel. Three of our tankers are currently under short-term time charters and one in the spot market. We expect to prudently maintain our mixed employment strategy.
For the near term, we expect volatility to continue, yet believe charter rates to stay above five-year average levels given the modest inventories of refined petroleum products in a number of locations worldwide as well as the global effects of the G-7 and European Union ban and price caps on seaborne cargoes of Russian refined products. Despite ongoing concerns about slowing economic activity globally, additional OPEC+ crude oil production cuts, tighter monetary policies, persistently high inflation and destabilizing geo-political events, supply-side fundamentals reinforce a positive outlook underpinned by steady volumes and longer sailing distances. In its July 2023 update, the International Monetary Fund revised upward its outlook for annual global GDP growth in 2023 to 3% due to resilient economic activity, primarily within the OECD, offset by the headwinds of stricter monetary policies and high, but decelerating inflation. GDP growth for advanced economies is forecasted at 1.5% this year, while emerging and developing economies are expected to achieve growth of 4%. In July 2023, the International Energy Agency revised its forecast for global oil demand to increase 2.2% or 2.2 million barrels per day (“Mb/d”) to 102.1 Mb/d in 2023. Refinery runs have been revised upwards to 82.5 Mb/d and crack spreads remain above 5 year averages. The processing of cheaper Russian Urals crude has benefitted a number of refineries in India and China, leading to significant increases in refined product exports to capture arbitrage opportunities and further expand ton-mile shipments. In mid-June, 2023, a leading research firm forecasted that global product tanker ton-miles would increase 12% this year and another 7% in 2024. Additionally, cargo volumes are expected to grow 4% annually in both years. Over the long-term, scheduled changes in the global refinery landscape, led by capacity additions outside of the OECD, should provide added longer-haul volumes. Although new build ordering has picked-up, the MR orderbook still remains relatively low by historical standards with deliveries now moving into 2026. Moreover, the large number of inefficient 20+ year old tankers exceed the orderbook and are demolition candidates during the next five years. At June 30, 2023, Drewry, an independent industry research firm, estimated the orderbook to be 6.6% or 111 MR2 in the global fleet, with 144 or 8.5% to be 20 years of age or more. Overall, we continue to expect MR tanker supply to grow annually at less than 2% net, through 2024.
The rise in secondhand values for modern eco-efficient product tankers have recently stabilized. However, asset prices are still too high for us to aggressively pursue fleet expansion of our MR’s. In order to enhance shareholder value, we have continued to improve our balance sheet, repurchased shares to a limited extent and selectively considered investments in other shipping segments. After due consideration, our Board, consisting of a majority of independent members, unanimously approved a $6.8 million equity investment in a newly formed company, which has agreed to acquire a 2016 Japanese built 63,520 metric tons deadweight Ultramax bulk carrier from an un-affiliated third party. We will own 60% of this joint venture and the remaining 40% will be owned by a company related to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Valentis. This scrubber-fitted eco-vessel is geared with four cargo cranes and a ballast water treatment system which provide optimal operating flexibility, lower environmental emissions and attractive fuel economics. The purchase price of the bulk carrier will be $28.5 million, that we anticipate to be partially funded by a $19.0 million five-year secured bank loan priced at SOFR plus a margin of 2.35%. The vessel will be managed by Konkar Shipping Services, S.A., a company that is related to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which is a long-time successful owner and manager of dry bulk vessels. The transaction is expected to close by late August, 2023 and is subject to the execution of definitive documentation and standard closing conditions. We believe this counter-cyclical investment opportunity should provide attractive returns to us through a well-managed structure.”
Results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023
Amounts relating to variations in period–on–period comparisons shown in this section are derived from the interim consolidated financials presented below.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we reported Revenues, net of $9.5 million, or 41% lower than $16.1 million in the comparable 2022 period. Our net income attributable to common shareholders was $2.8 million, or $0.25 basic and $0.23 diluted net income per share, compared to a net income attributable to common shareholders of $4.6 million, or $0.43 basic and $0.38 diluted net income per share, for the same period in 2022. The weighted average number of basic shares had increased by approximately 188 thousand common shares from the second quarter 2022 to approximately 10.8 million shares in the same period 2023. The weighted average number of diluted common shares in 2023 of approximately 12.6 million shares assumes the full conversion of all the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the most recent period. The average MR daily TCE rate during the second quarter of 2023 was $25,000 or 5% lower than the $26,270 MR daily TCE rate for the same period in 2022, due to lower spot chartering activity. The revenue mix for the second quarter of 2023 was 90% from short-term time charters and 10% from spot market employment. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2.0 million to $5.2 million in the second quarter, 2023 from $7.3 million for the same period in 2022.
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we reported Revenues, net of $21.1 million, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 8%, from $23.0 million in the comparable period of 2022. During the first half of 2023, our MR’s were contracted mainly under short-term charters resulting 620 days and for the rest of the period employed in the spot market resulting in an overall MR daily TCE rate for our fleet of $24,207.
| 2 |
Our net income attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $11.5 million, or income of $1.06 per share basic and $0.94 per share diluted, compared to a net income of $0.9 million, or an income of $0.09 per share (basic and diluted) for the same period in 2022. An $8.0 million gain on the sale of one MR was recognized in the 2023 period. Higher MR daily TCE rate of $24,207 and higher MR fleet utilization of 93.5% for our MR’s during the six months ended June 30, 2023, were compared to a MR daily TCE rate of $19,814 and MR fleet utilization of 84.7%, respectively, during the same period in 2022. Our Adjusted EBITDA of $9.4 million represented an increase of $2.8 million from $6.6 million for the same six month period in 2022.

1 Our non-core small tankers, “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta”, which were sold on January 28, 2022 and March 1, 2022, respectively, have been excluded in the above table. Both vessels were under spot employment for approximately 7 and 36 days, respectively, in 2022 as of the delivery date to their buyer. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, “Revenues, net” attributable to these vessels was $595 thousand and “Voyage related costs and commissions” was $389 thousand. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the same expenses attributable to these vessels was $12 and $10 thousand, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Results for the Three Months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023
Amounts relating to variations in period–on–period comparisons shown in this section are derived from the interim consolidated financials presented below. (Amounts are presented in million U.S. dollars, rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand, except as otherwise noted)
Revenues, net: Revenues, net of $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, represented a decrease of $6.6 million, or 41%, from $16.1 million in the comparable period of 2022. In the second quarter of 2023, our MR daily TCE rate for our fleet was $25,000, a $1,270 per day decrease from the same period in 2022. The aforementioned variations were the result of the lower spot chartering activity in the second quarter of 2023, which were offset by the higher utilization of 98.6% in the second quarter of 2023 in comparison to the 94.7% in the same period of 2022. Also, due to the sale of the “Pyxis Malou” in the first quarter 2023, we only operated four MRs during the most recent period, significantly reducing revenue days for our fleet.
Voyage related costs and commissions: Voyage related costs and commissions of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, represented a decrease of $3.9 million, or 82%, from $4.7 million in the same period of 2022, primarily as a result of the decreased spot employment for our MR’s from 249 days in the second quarter in 2022 to 42 days in the same period in 2023. Under spot charters, all voyage expenses are typically borne by us rather than the charterer and a decrease in spot employment results in decreased voyage related costs and commissions.
| 3 |
Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses of $2.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2023, represented a decrease of $0.5 million, or 17%, from $3.0 million in the same period of 2022, as a result of lower operating expenses due to the sale of “Pyxis Malou”.
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses of $0.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, remained flat compared to the same period in 2022.
Management fees: For the three months ended June 30, 2023, management fees charged by Pyxis Maritime Corp. (“Maritime”), our ship management company which is affiliated with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Valentis, and by International Tanker Management Ltd. (“ITM”), our fleet’s technical manager, overall decreased by 19.5% from $0.4 million to $0.3 million as a result of the sale of vessel “Pyxis Malou” and the sales of “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” during the first quarter of 2022.
Amortization of special survey costs: Amortization of special survey costs of $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, remained flat compared to the same period in 2022.
Depreciation: Depreciation of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, decreased by $0.3 million or 19% compared to $1.5 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was attributed to ceasing of depreciation due to the sale of vessel “Pyxis Malou” during the first quarter of 2023 and the sales of “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” during the first quarter of 2022.
Interest and finance costs, net: Interest and finance costs, net, $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, remained flat compared to the same period in 2022. The lower average debt levels counterbalanced the higher LIBOR/SOFR indexed rates paid on all the floating rate bank debt.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Results for the Six Months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023
Amounts relating to variations in period–on–period comparisons shown in this section are derived from the interim consolidated financials presented below. (Amounts are presented in million U.S. dollars, rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand, except as otherwise noted)
Revenues, net: Revenues, net of $21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, represented a decrease of $1.8 million, or 8%, from $23.0 million in the comparable period of 2022. In the first half of 2023, our MR daily TCE rate for our fleet was $24,207, a $4,393 per day increase from the same 2022 period as a result of the improvement in fleet utilization from 84.7% in the same period of 2022 to 93.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the $4.5 million decrease in the voyage related costs and commissions discussed below.
Voyage related costs and commissions: Voyage related costs and commissions of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, represented a decrease of $4.5 million, or 58%, from $7.8 million in the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our MRs were on spot charters for 169 days in total, compared to 462 days for the respective period in 2022. This lower spot chartering activity for our MRs contribute lower voyage costs which are typically borne by us rather than the charterer, thus an increase in spot employment results in increased voyage related costs and commissions.
Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, represented a $0.5 million or 8% decrease compared to $6.3 million for the same period ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was mainly attributed to the sale of the “Pyxis Malou”. Fleet ownership days for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 806 days compared to 991 days for the same period in 2022.
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, represented an increase of $0.7 million or 53%, from $1.3 million in the comparable period in 2022, mainly due to the performance bonus of $0.6 million paid to Maritime. In addition, the administration fees were adjusted by 9.65% to reflect the 2022 inflation rate in Greece.
| 4 |
Management fees: For the six months ended June 30, 2023, management fees paid to Maritime and ITM of $0.7 million in the aggregate, represented a decrease of $0.2 million compared to the same period ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was the result of the sales of “Northsea Alpha”, “Northsea Beta” which occurred during the first quarter of 2022 and “Pyxis Malou” during the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by the fact that ship management fees to Maritime for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were adjusted upwards to reflect the 9.65% annual 2022 inflation rate in Greece.
Amortization of special survey costs: Amortization of special survey costs of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, remained flat compared to the same period in 2022.
Depreciation: Depreciation of $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by $0.4 million or 13% compared to $3.0 million in the comparable period of 2022. The decrease was attributed to ceasing of depreciation due to the sale of vessel “Pyxis Malou” during the first quarter of 2023 and the sales of “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” during the first quarter of 2022.
Gain from the sale of vessels, net: During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a gain from the sale of the “Pyxis Malou” of $8.0 million, which occurred in the first quarter of 2023. In the comparable period in 2022, we recorded $0.5 million loss related to repositioning costs for the delivery of the “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” to their buyer.
Loss from debt extinguishment: During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a loss from debt extinguishment of approximately $0.3 million reflecting the write-off of the remaining unamortized balance of deferred financing costs, which were associated with the first quarter loan repayments from the sale of the “Pyxis Malou” and debt refinancing of the “Pyxis Karteria”. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a loss from debt extinguishment of approximately $34 thousand reflecting the write-off of the remaining unamortized balance of deferred financing costs, which were associated with the repayments of the “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” loans.
Interest and finance costs, net: Interest and finance costs, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were $2.4 million, compared to $1.8 million in the comparable period in 2022, an increase of $0.6 million, or 31%. Despite lower average debt levels, this increase was primarily attributable to higher LIBOR/SOFR indexed rates paid on all the floating rate bank debt. In addition to scheduled loan amortization, we prepaid the $6.0 million 7.5% Promissory Note in full during the first quarter, 2023. On March 13, 2023, we completed the debt refinancing of the “Pyxis Karteria”, our 2013 built vessel, with a $15.5 million five year secured loan from a new lender. The loan is priced at SOFR plus 2.7%.

Non-GAAP Measures and Definitions
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) represents the sum of net income, interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a period. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before certain non-operating charges/gains, such as loss from debt extinguishment, loss or gain from financial derivative instrument and gain or loss from sale of vessel. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors with means of evaluating and understanding how our management evaluates operating performance. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect:
| ● | our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; | |
| ● | changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and | |
| ● | cash requirements necessary to service interest and principal payments on our funded debt. |
In addition, these non-GAAP measures do not have standardized meanings and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The following table reconciles net income, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

Daily TCE is a shipping industry performance measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Daily TCE is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We utilize daily TCE because we believe it is a meaningful measure to compare period-to-period changes in our performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which our vessels may be employed between the periods. Our management also utilizes daily TCE to assist them in making decisions regarding employment of the vessels. We calculate daily TCE by dividing Revenues, net after deducting Voyage related costs and commissions, by operating days for the relevant period. Voyage related costs and commissions primarily consist of brokerage commissions, port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract.
Vessel operating expenses (“Opex”) per day are our vessel operating expenses for a vessel, which primarily consist of crew wages and related costs, insurance, lube oils, communications, spares and consumables, tonnage taxes as well as repairs and maintenance, divided by the ownership days in the applicable period.
We calculate utilization (“Utilization”) by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during the same period. We use fleet utilization to measure our efficiency in finding suitable employment for our vessels and minimize the number of days that our vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings or vessel positioning. Ownership days are the total number of days in a period during which we owned each of the vessels in our fleet. Available days are the number of ownership days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings and the aggregate number of days that we spent positioning our vessels during the respective period for such repairs, upgrades and surveys. Operating days are the number of available days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire or out of service due to any reason, including technical breakdowns and unforeseen circumstances.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Opex and daily TCE are not recognized measures under U.S. GAAP and should not be regarded as substitutes for Revenues, net and Net income. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Opex and daily TCE does not imply, and should not be construed as an inference, that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Results of Operations
Our revenues consist of earnings under the charters on which we employ our vessels. We believe that the important measures for analyzing trends in the results of our operations consist of the following:
Revenues, net
We generate revenues by chartering our vessels for the transportation of petroleum products and other liquid bulk items, such as organic chemicals and vegetable oils. Revenues are generated primarily by the number of vessels in our fleet, the number of voyage days employed and the amount of daily charter hire earned under vessels’ charters. These factors, in turn, can be affected by a number of decisions by us, including the amount of time spent positioning a vessel for charter, dry-dockings, repairs, maintenance and upgrading, as well as the age, condition and specifications of our ships and supply and demand factors in the product tanker market. As of August 3rd, 2023, the three of our vessels in our fleet were employed in short term time charters and one in spot market. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying daily rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus are recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the time charter as service is performed. Revenue under spot charters is recognized from loading of the current spot charter to discharge of the current spot charter. Vessels operating on time charters provide more predictable cash flows, but can yield lower profit margins than vessels operating in the spot market during periods characterized by favorable market conditions. The vessel owner generally pays commissions on both types of charters on the gross charter rate. Address commissions represent a discount provided directly to the charterers based on a fixed percentage of the agreed upon charter and is presented as a reduction in revenues.

Time Charters
A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel for a specific period of time during which the charterer pays substantially all of the voyage expenses, including port and canal charges and the cost of bunker (fuel oil), but the vessel owner pays vessel operating expenses, including the cost of crewing, insuring, repairing and maintaining the vessel, the costs of spares and consumable stores and tonnage taxes. Time charter rates are usually set at fixed rates during the term of the charter. Prevailing time charter rates fluctuate on a seasonal and on a year-to-year basis and, as a result, when employment is being sought for a vessel with an expiring or terminated time charter, the prevailing time charter rates achievable in the time charter market may be substantially higher or lower than the expiring or terminated time charter rate. Fluctuations in time charter rates are influenced by changes in spot charter rates, which are in turn influenced by a number of factors, including vessel supply and demand. The main factors that could increase total vessel operating expenses are crew salaries, insurance premiums, spare parts orders, repairs that are not covered under insurance policies and lubricant prices.
Spot Charters
Generally, a spot charter refers to a contract to carry a specific cargo for a single voyage, which commonly lasts from several days up to three months. Spot charters typically involve the carriage of a specific amount and type of cargo on a load-port to discharge-port basis, subject to various cargo handling terms, and the vessel owner is paid on a per-ton basis. Under a spot charter, the vessel owner is responsible for the payment of all expenses including its capital costs, voyage expenses (such as port, canal and bunker costs) and vessel operating expenses. Fluctuations in spot charter rates are caused by imbalances in the availability of cargoes for shipment and the number of vessels available at any given time to transport these cargoes at a given port.
Voyage Related Costs and Commissions
We incur voyage related costs for our vessels operating under spot charters, which mainly include port and canal charges and bunker expenses. Port and canal charges and bunker expenses primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on spot charters because these expenses are for the account of the vessel owner. Brokerage commissions payable for both spot and time charter contracts, if any, depend on a number of factors, including, among other things, the number of shipbrokers involved in arranging the charter and the amount of commissions charged by brokers related to the charterer. Such commissions are deferred and amortized over the related period in a charter to the extent revenue has been deferred since commissions are earned as revenues are earned.
Vessel Operating Expenses
We incur vessel operating expenses for our vessels operating under time and spot charters. Vessel operating expenses primarily consist of crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses necessary for the operation of the vessel. All vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
General and Administrative Expenses
The primary components of general and administrative expenses consist of the annual fee payable to Maritime for the administrative services under our Head Management Agreement, which is described in more detail in our 2022 Annual Report and provides for the services of our senior executive officers, and the expenses associated with being a public company. Such public company expenses include the costs of preparing public reporting documents, legal and accounting costs, including costs of legal and accounting professionals and staff, and costs related to compliance with the rules, regulations and requirements of the SEC, the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), the Company’s board of directors’ (the “Board”) compensation and investor relations. In addition, during the first quarter of 2023, we paid a one-time performance bonus of $0.6 million to our ship management company, Maritime, an entity affiliated with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Valentis.
| 3 |
Management Fees
We pay management fees to Maritime and ITM for commercial and technical management services, respectively, for our vessels. These services include: obtaining employment for our vessels and managing our relationships with charterers; strategic management services; technical management services, which include managing day-to-day vessel operations, ensuring regulatory and classification society compliance, arranging our hire of qualified officers and crew, arranging and supervising dry-docking and repairs and arranging insurance for vessels; and providing shoreside personnel who carry out the management functions described above. As part of their ship management services, Maritime provides us with supervision services for new construction of vessels; these costs are capitalized as part of the total delivered cost of the vessel.
Depreciation
We depreciate the cost of our vessels after deducting the estimated residual value, on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of each vessel, which is estimated to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Scrap rate of $340/light weight ton (“LWT”) is used to calculate the salvage value of our vessels.
Special Survey and Dry-docking
We are obliged to periodically drydock each of our vessels for inspection, and to make significant modifications to comply with industry certification or governmental requirements. Generally, each vessel is drydocked every 30 to 60 months for scheduled inspections, depending on its age. The capitalized costs of dry-dockings for a given vessel are amortized on a straight-line basis to the next scheduled drydocking of the vessel.
Interest and Finance Costs
We have historically incurred interest expense and financing costs in connection with the debt incurred to partially finance the acquisition of our existing fleet. We have also incurred interest expense in relation to the $6.0 million Amended and Restated Promissory Note we issued on October 28, 2015, in favor of Maritime Investors Corp. (the “Promissory Note”). During first quarter of 2023, we repaid in full the Promissory Note due to Maritime Investors Corp. Except for the interest payments under our Promissory Note that are based on a fixed rate, the interest rates under our other debt agreements are linked to the SOFR rates. In order to hedge our variable interest rate exposure, on January 19, 2018, we, through one of our vessel-owning subsidiaries, purchased an interest rate cap with one of our lenders for a notional amount of $10.0 million and a cap rate on LIBOR of 3.5%. The interest rate cap terminated on July 18, 2022. Similarly, on July 16, 2021, the same subsidiary purchased an additional interest rate cap for the amount of $9.6 million at a cap rate on LIBOR of 2% with a termination date of July 8, 2025. This cap was sold on January 25, 2023 and we realized a net cash gain of $0.5 million. In the future, we may consider the use of additional financial hedging products to further limit our interest rate exposure.
In evaluating our financial condition, we focus on the above financial and operating measures as well as fleet and vessel type for utilization, time charter equivalent rates and operating expenses to assess our operating performance. We also monitor our cash position and outstanding debt to assess short-term liquidity and our ability to finance further fleet expansion, including possible joint ventures. Discussions about possible acquisitions, joint ventures or sales of existing vessels are based on our financial and operational criteria which depend on the state of the charter market, availability of vessel investments, employment opportunities, anticipated dry-docking costs and general economic prospects.

As of June 30, 2023 our fleet consisted of four eco-efficient medium-range 2 (“MR2”) tankers, “Pyxis Lamda”, “Pyxis Theta”, “Pyxis Karteria” and “Pyxis Epsilon”. Our two small tankers “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” were sold on January 28, 2022 and March 1, 2022, respectively. Our eco-modified MR2, “Pyxis Malou” was sold on March 23, 2023. The following table presents the fleet data for the MR2 tankers for the first half of 2022 and 2023.
| Six months ended June 30, | ||||||||
| MR Fleet data | 2022 | 2023 | ||||||
| Ownership days (1) | 905 | 806 | ||||||
| Available days (2) | 891 | 789 | ||||||
| Operating days (3) | 755 | 738 | ||||||
| Utilization % (4) | 84.7 | % | 93.5 | % | ||||
| Daily time charter equivalent rate (5) | $ | 19,814 | $ | 24,207 | ||||
| Daily vessel operating expenses (6) | $ | 6,786 | $ | 7,185 | ||||

| Number of vessels at period end | 5 | 4 | ||||||
| Weighted average age of vessels at period end (8) | 8.8 | 8.8 | ||||||
| (1) | Ownership days are the total number of days in a period during which we owned each of the vessels in our fleet. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues generated and the amount of expenses incurred during the respective period. |
| (2) | Available days are the number of ownership days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings and the aggregate number of days that we spent positioning our vessels during the respective period for such repairs, upgrades and surveys. Available days measures the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. |
| (3) | Operating days are the number of Available days in a period, less the aggregate number of days that our vessels were off-hire or out of service due to any reason, including technical breakdowns and unforeseen circumstances. Operating days measures the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues. |
| (4) | We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of Operating days during a period by the number of Available days during the same period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys and intermediate dry-dockings or vessel positioning. |
| (5) | Daily TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. TCE is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We utilize TCE because we believe it is a meaningful measure to compare period-to-period changes in our performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which our vessels may be employed between the periods. Our management also utilizes TCE to assist them in making decisions regarding employment of the vessels. We believe that our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is calculated by dividing voyage revenues after deducting voyage expenses, including commissions, by Operating days for the relevant period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of brokerage commissions, port, canal and bunker costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charter under a time charter contract. |
| (6) | Daily vessel operating expenses are direct operating expenses such as crewing, provisions, repairs and maintenance, insurance, deck and engine stores, lubricating oils and tonnage tax divided by Ownership days. |
| (7) | Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during such period divided by the number of calendar days in the period. |
| (8) | Weighted average age of the fleet is the sum of the ages of our vessels, weighted by the DWT of each vessel on the total fleet DWT. |
The following table reflects the calculation of our medium range (“MR”) fleet daily TCE rates for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2023:

Both vessels have been under spot employment for approximately 7 and 36 days, respectively, in 2022 as of the delivery date to their buyer. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, “Revenues, net” attributable to these vessels was $597 thousand and “Voyage related costs and commissions” was $385 thousand. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the same expenses attributable to these vessels was $10 thousand. |

Results of Operations
Six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023
Amounts relating to variations in period–on–period comparisons shown in this section are derived from the interim consolidated financials presented below. (Amounts are presented in million U.S. dollars, rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand, except as otherwise noted)
Revenues, net: Revenues, net of $21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, represented a decrease of $1.8 million, or 8%, from $23.0 million in the comparable period of 2022. In the first half of 2023, our MR daily TCE rate for our fleet was $24,207, a $4,393 per day increase from the same 2022 period as a result of the improvement in fleet utilization from 84.7% in the same period of 2022 to 93.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the $4.5 million decrease in the voyage related costs and commissions discussed below.
Voyage related costs and commissions: Voyage related costs and commissions of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, represented a decrease of $4.5 million, or 58%, from $7.8 million in the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our MRs were on spot charters for 169 days in total, compared to 462 days for the respective period in 2022. This lower spot chartering activity for our MRs contribute lower voyage costs which are typically borne by us rather than the charterer, thus an increase in spot employment results in increased voyage related costs and commissions.
Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, represented a $0.5 million or 8.4% decrease compared to $6.3 million for the same period ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was mainly attributed to the sale of the “Pyxis Malou”. Fleet ownership days for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 806 days compared to 991 days for the same period in 2022.
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, represented an increase of $0.7 million or 53%, from $1.3 million in the comparable period in 2022, mainly due to the performance bonus of $0.6 million paid to Maritime. In addition, the administration fees were adjusted by 9.65% to reflect the 2022 inflation rate in Greece.
Management fees: For the six months ended June 30, 2023, management fees paid to Maritime and ITM of $0.7 million in the aggregate, represented a decrease of $0.2 million compared to the same period ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was the result of the sales of “Northsea Alpha”, “Northsea Beta” which occurred during the first quarter of 2022 and “Pyxis Malou” during the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by the fact that ship management fees to Maritime for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were adjusted upwards to reflect the 9.65% annual 2022 inflation rate in Greece.
Amortization of special survey costs: Amortization of special survey costs of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, remained flat compared to the same period in 2022.
Depreciation: Depreciation of $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by $0.4 million or 13% compared to $3.0 million in the comparable period of 2022. The decrease was attributed to ceasing of depreciation due to the sale of vessel “Pyxis Malou” during the first quarter of 2023 and the sales of “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” during the first quarter of 2022.
Gain from the sale of vessels, net: During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a gain from the sale of the “Pyxis Malou” of $8.0 million, which occurred in the first quarter of 2023. In the comparable period in 2022, we recorded $0.5 million loss related to repositioning costs for the delivery of the “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” to their buyer.
Loss from debt extinguishment: During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a loss from debt extinguishment of approximately $0.3 million reflecting the write-off of the remaining unamortized balance of deferred financing costs, which were associated with the first quarter loan repayments from the sale of the “Pyxis Malou” and debt refinancing of the “Pyxis Karteria”. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a loss from debt extinguishment of approximately $34 thousand reflecting the write-off of the remaining unamortized balance of deferred financing costs, which were associated with the repayments of the “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” loans.
Interest and finance costs, net: Interest and finance costs, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were $2.4 million, compared to $1.8 million in the comparable period in 2022, an increase of $0.6 million, or 31%. Despite lower average debt levels, this increase was primarily attributable to higher LIBOR/SOFR indexed rates paid on all the floating rate bank debt. In addition to scheduled loan amortization, we prepaid the $6.0 million 7.5% Promissory Note in full during the first quarter, 2023. On March 13, 2023, we completed the debt refinancing of the “Pyxis Karteria”, our 2013 built vessel, with a $15.5 million five year secured loan from a new lender. The loan is priced at SOFR plus 2.7%.

Cash Flows
Our principal sources of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2023, have been cash from our operating and investing activities as well as proceeds from vessel sale. Our principal uses of funds have been the working capital requirements and the debt service payments on our loan agreements. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2023, amounted to $34.4 million, compared to $10.2 million as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, we had a working capital surplus of $27.4 million compared to working capital surplus of $8.6 million as of December 31, 2022. We define working capital as current assets minus current liabilities.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $0.8 million for the same period in 2022. The net income for the period was $11.9 million compared to net income of $1.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, contributing $10.5 million more operating cash. Aggregate movements in working capital accounts, current assets and current liabilities, increased cash by $8.9 million. This increase was mainly attributable to the $10.0 million increase from net trade accounts receivable, $3.0 million increase from inventories and $2.5 million decrease of insurance claim receivable. This increase was counterbalanced by $3.3 million from trade accounts payable, $1.6 million from amounts payable due from related parties and $1.2 million from hires collected in advance. Other accounts decreased by a net $0.5 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $24.3 million, a result of the $24.3 million proceeds, net of commissions and related expenses, of the sale of the “Pyxis Malou”. The same period in 2022 reflected an aggregate $5.0 million in net cash provided by investing activities which were primarily a result of the $8.5 million proceeds, net of commissions, of the sale of the “Northsea Alpha” and “Northsea Beta” partially offset by the $3.0 million cash settlement of the balance related to “Pyxis Lamda” acquisition and $0.6 million payments for the Ballast Water Treatment System (“BWTS”) installed in “Pyxis Lamda” during the period.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $12.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2023, mainly reflected new long-term debt of $15.5 million for Tenthone, secured by the “Pyxis Karteria”, counterbalanced by repayment of the financing fees payments of $0.1 million related to the new loan facilities and aggregate of $21.7 million of debt principal payments, including the prepayments of Fourthone’s for the “Pyxis Malou” sale and Tenthone’s loan facilities of an aggregate $17.94 million to Alpha Bank and Vista Bank, respectively. In addition, during the first quarter of 2023 we repaid in full the $6.0 million Promissory Note. Also, we received $0.6 million from the financial derivative instrument – cap rate sale and we paid $0.4 million dividends related to the 7.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). Additionally, we repurchased 23,431 common shares at an average price of $3.87 per share, including brokerage commissions, for an aggregate $0.1 million under the authorized $2.0 million re-purchase program.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, mainly reflecting the aggregate of $8.9 million of debt principal payments, including the prepayments of Secondone’s and Thirdone’s loan facilities of an aggregate $5.8 million to Amsterdam Trade Bank N.V. Also, during the first half of 2022, we paid $0.4 million dividends related to the 7.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”).
Debt Agreements
For information relating to our debt agreements, please see Note 8 to our financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Note 7 to our Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 included elsewhere herein.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings from bank debt and our related parties, private placement of common stock and issuance of convertible preferred shares and we expect in the future, cash flow from operations, proceeds from further issuances of equity and debt as well as re-financings of debt. Recognizing the uncertainty caused by the potential impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war, we expect that our future liquidity requirements should relate primarily to:
| ● | our vessel operating expenses, including dry-docking and special survey costs; | |

We expect to rely upon operating cash flows from the employment of our vessels on spot and time charters and, upon occasion, amounts due to related parties, long-term borrowings and the proceeds from future equity and debt offerings to fund our liquidity and capital needs and implement our growth plan. We perform on a regular basis cash flow projection to evaluate whether we will be in a position to cover our liquidity needs for the next 12-month period and be in compliance with the financial and security collateral cover ratio covenants under the existing debt agreements. In developing estimates of future cash flows, we make assumptions about the vessels’ future performance, with significant assumptions relating to time charter equivalent rates by vessel type, vessels’ operating expenses, vessels’ capital expenditures, fleet utilization, our management fees, general and administrative expenses and debt servicing requirements. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations. As of June 30, 2023, we had a working capital surplus of $27.4 million, defined as current assets minus current liabilities. As of the filing date of the first half of 2023 Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we expect that we will be in a position to cover our liquidity needs for the next 12-month period, through cash generated from operations and by managing our working capital requirements. In addition, the Company may consider the raising of capital including debt, equity securities, joint ventures and/or sale of assets for corporate and strategic reasons.
Our business is capital intensive and our future success will depend on our ability to maintain a high-quality fleet through the acquisition of modern tanker vessels, the selective sale of older tanker vessels and investments in joint ventures, including other shipping sectors.
While we pay cash dividends on our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, we do not intend to pay dividends to the holders of our common shares in the near future and expect to retain our cash flows primarily for the payment of vessel operating costs, dry-docking costs, debt servicing and other obligations, general corporate and administrative expenses and reinvestment in our business (such as to fund vessel or fleet acquisitions), in each case, as determined by our Board.
On May 11, 2022, following the Company’s annual shareholder meeting the Board of the Company approved the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split of our common shares at the ratio of one share for four existing common shares, effective May 13, 2022. Following the Reverse Stock Split, our common shares continued trading on the Nasdaq Capital Markets under its existing symbol, “PXS”, with a new CUSIP number, 71726130. The payment for fractional share interests in connection with the Reverse Stock Split reduced the outstanding common shares to 10,613,424 post-Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split was undertaken with the objective of meeting the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for maintaining the listing of the common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Markets. Furthermore, following the Reverse Stock Split, (a) the Conversion Price, as defined in the certification of designation of the Company’s 7.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares (NASDAQ Cap Mkts: PXSAP), was adjusted from $1.40 to $5.60 and (b) the Exercise Price, as defined in the Company’s warrants to purchase common shares (NASDAQ Cap Mkts: PXSAW), was adjusted from $1.40 to $5.60. All the share and per share information for all periods presented has been adjusted to reflect the one for four Reverse Stock Split.
On January 25, 2023 we sold our $9.6 million interest cap rate on LIBOR of 2% with termination date of July 8, 2025 and we realized a net cash gain of $0.5 million. In the future, we may consider the use of additional financial hedging products to further limit our interest rate exposure.
On February 10, 2023 we repaid $3.0 million of the $6.0 million 7.5% promissory note due to Maritime Investors Corp., an affiliate of Mr. Valentis. The remaining balance of this obligation was repaid on March 14, 2023.
On March 13, 2023, the Company completed the debt refinancing of the “Pyxis Karteria”, our 2013 built vessel with a $15.5 million five year secured loan from a new lender, Piraeus Bank, S.A. Loan principal is repayable over five years with quarterly amortization. The loan is priced at SOFR plus 2.7% with standard terms and conditions.
On March 23, 2023, pursuant to the sale agreement that we entered into on March 1, 2023, the “Pyxis Malou” was delivered to her buyer. The aggregate gross sale price was $24.8 million from which $6.4 million was used for the prepayment of the respective loan facility and $0.75 million to prepay the outstanding loan for the “Pyxis Lamda”.
On May 11, 2023, our Board authorized a common stock re-purchase program of up to $2.0 million for a period of six months through open market transactions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 23,431 common shares at an average price of $3.87 per share, including brokerage commissions, under the authorized $2.0 million re-purchase program.
During the months of January through June, 2023 the Company paid monthly cash dividends of $0.1615 for each outstanding Series A Preferred Share, which aggregated to $418 for the six months ended as of June 30, 2023.
| 10 |
On June 30, 2023, we had a total of 10,849,812 common shares issued and outstanding of which Mr. Valentis beneficially owned 53%, 403,831 Series A Preferred Shares (NASDAQ Cap Mkts: PXSAP), which have a conversion price of $5.60, and 1,591,062 warrants (NASDAQ Cap Mkts: PXSAW), which have an exercise price of $5.60, (excluding non-tradeable underwriter’s common stock purchase warrants of which 107,143 and 3,460 have exercise prices of $8.75 and $5.60, respectively, and 2,000 and 2,683 Series A Preferred Shares purchase warrants which have an exercise price of $24.92 and $25.00 per share, respectively).
Results of Annual Meeting of Shareholders of May 11, 2023
At the scheduled annual 2023 shareholder meeting, the Company’s shareholders re-elected Mr. Basil Mavroleon and Mr. Robin Das as Class III Directors to serve for a term of three years until the 2026 annual meeting.
Subsequent Events
During July 2023, the Company’s Board, consisting of a majority of independent members, unanimously approved a $6.8 million equity investment in a newly formed company, which has agreed to acquire a 2016 Japanese built 63,520 metric tons deadweight Ultramax bulk carrier from an un-affiliated third party. The Company will own 60% of this joint venture and the remaining 40% will be owned by a company related to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Valentis. This scrubber-fitted eco-vessel is geared with four cargo cranes and a ballast water treatment system which provide optimal operating flexibility, lower environmental emissions and attractive fuel economics. The purchase price of the bulk carrier will be $28.5 million, which we anticipate will be partially funded by a $19.0 million five-year secured bank loan priced at SOFR plus a margin of 2.35%. The vessel will be managed by Konkar Shipping Services, S.A., a company that is related to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which is a long-time successful owner and manager of dry bulk vessels. The transaction is expected to close by late August, 2023 and is subject to the execution of definitive documentation and standard closing conditions. The company believes this counter-cyclical investment opportunity should provide attractive returns to us through a well-managed structure.
In addition, during July 2023, the Company paid monthly cash dividends of $0.1615 per share on its outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, amounting to $65. Similarly, on July 29, 2023, the Board of Pyxis declared a monthly dividend of $0.1615 per share, for the month of August 2023. The cash dividend of $65 will be payable on August 21, 2023, to holders of record as of August 14, 2023.
There are not any other subsequent events which might affect the financial statements.

8. Equity Capital Structure and Equity Incentive Plan:- Continued:
In October, 2015, our Board approved, and the Company adopted the Pyxis Tankers Inc. 2015 EIP for common shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the Plan during the term of the Plan will be 15% of the then-issued and outstanding number of shares of our common stock under the EIP, the Company’s employees, officers, directors and service providers are entitled to receive options to acquire the Company’s common stock. The EIP is administered by the nominating and corporate governance committee of our Board or such other committee of the Board as may be designated by the Board.
On
May 11, our Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee signed the resolution to grant the issuance of a total of restricted
common shares to 24 employees, board members and Company affiliates under the active EIP. The restricted shares have vesting periods
up to November 2024. A non–cash charge of $
Restricted stock during the period ended June 30, 2023 is analyzed as follows:
Summary of Restricted Stock
Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Price | |||||||

| Granted | ||||||||
| Vested | ||||||||
| Forfeited or expired | ||||||||
| Outstanding at June 30, 2023 | $ | |||||||
The fair value of the restricted shares has been determined with reference to the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date the agreements were signed. The aggregate compensation cost is being recognized ratably in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the respective vesting periods.
At June 30, 2023 the total unrecognized cost relating to restricted share awards was $ thousand. At June 30, 2023, the weighted-average period over which the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized is expected to be recognized is years.

the months of January through June, 2023 the Company paid monthly cash dividends of $ for each outstanding Series A Preferred Share,
which aggregated to $ for the six months ended as of June 30, 2023. As of that date, Mr. Valentis beneficially owned or

10. Risk Management and Fair Value Measurements:
The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable due from charterers and amounts due from related parties. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long-term bank loans and trade accounts payable.
Interest
rate risk: The Company’s loan interest rates are currently calculated at SOFR plus a margin, as described in Note 7 above,
hence, the Company is exposed to movements in SOFR. SOFR is the successor index to LIBOR for our bank loans. In order to hedge its variable
interest rate exposure, on January 19, 2018, the Company, via one of its vessel-owning subsidiaries, purchased an interest rate cap with
one of its lenders for a notional amount of $

10. Risk Management and Fair Value Measurements: - Continued:
Credit risk: Credit risk is minimized since trade accounts receivable from charterers are presented net of the expected credit losses. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, primarily with high credit qualified 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. On the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations on credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Currency risk: The Company’s transactions are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars; therefore, overall currency exchange risk is limited. Balances in foreign currency other than U.S. dollars are not considered significant.
Fair value: The Management has determined that the fair values of the assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2023, are as follows:
Schedule of Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
| Carrying | Fair | |||||||
| Value | Value | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) | $ | $ | ||||||
| Trade accounts receivable | $ | $ | ||||||
| Trade accounts payable | $ | $ | ||||||
| Long-term debt with variable interest rates, net | $ | $ | ||||||
| Due to related parties | $ | $ | ||||||
The
Company performs an impairment exercise whenever there are indicators of impairment.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Interest rate cap
The Company’s interest rate cap does not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company adjusts its interest rate cap contract to fair market value at the end of every period and records the resulting gain or loss during the period in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Information on the classification, the derivative fair value and the gain/(loss) from financial derivative instruments included in the Consolidated Financial Statements is shown below:

11. Commitments and Contingencies:
Minimum contractual charter revenues: The Company employs certain of its vessels under lease agreements. Time charters typically may provide for variable lease payments, charterers’ options to extend the lease terms at higher rates and termination clauses. The Company’s contracted time charters as of June 30, 2023, range from one to six months, with varying extension periods at the charterers’ option and do not provide for variable lease payments. Our time charters contain customary termination clauses which protect either the Company or the charterers from material adverse situations.

Other: Various claims, suits and complaints, including those involving government regulations and environmental liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims not covered by insurance or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision has not been established in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company accrues for the cost of environmental and other liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. As of June 30, 2023 and as of the date of the issuance of the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management is not aware of any other claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
