[1] Average TCE earnings, gross is a non-U.S. GAAP measure of the average
daily revenue performance of a vessel. Average TCE earnings, gross, when used
by the Company, means time charter revenues and voyage charter revenues adding
back address commissions, and divided by fleet operational days. Our
management believes average TCE earnings, gross can provide additional
meaningful information for investors to analyze our fleets' daily income
performance. Our calculation of such figure may not be comparable to that
reported by other companies. Please see Appendix A for reconciliation of this
measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP measure.
