… Navigator Holdings Conference Call for the Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results. We have with us Mr. Dag von Appen, Chairman; Mr. Mads Peter Zacho; Navigator’s new Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Niall Nolan, Chief Financial Officer; Mr. Oeyvind Lindeman, Chief Commercial Officer; and myself, Randy Giveans, Executive Vice President of Investor Relations and Business Development in North America. I must advise you that this conference is being recorded today. As we conduct today’s presentation, we will be making various forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, future expectations, plans and prospects from both a financial and operational perspective, and are based on management assumptions, forecasts and expectations as of today’s statements, and, as such, are subject to material risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ significantly from our forward-looking information and financial forecast. Additional information about these factors and assumptions are included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. With that, I now pass the floor to our Chairman, Mr. Dag von Appen. Please go ahead, Dag.

Thank you, Randy. Can everyone hear me well? I hope yes.

Yes.

Good. Good day to everyone. Welcome to the Navigator Gas second quarter earnings call. Today’s call will include comments from our senior executive team, including Niall Nolan, our Chief Financial Officer; Oeyvind Lindeman, our Chief Commercial Officer; and for the first time since his appointment, Mr. Mads Peter Zacho, Chief Executive Officer of the company. With the merger between Ultragas and Navigator now behind us, we are benefiting from the synergies our two companies have brought one another. We can appreciate this in terms of a better and more flexible service offering to our clients, increasing revenues, more efficient operations, improving cash flow, and finally, a stronger balance sheet that will allow us to tackle upcoming opportunities. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all the staff at Navigator for their continued hard work during the quarter. Today, on this call, I am joined by Niall and Oeyvind, who have been part of Navigator’s successful expansion from a small company operating five ethylene ships and since the merger, working very closely together with Michael Schrader, our Chief Operating Officer. The three together have been efficiently leading as a team, the merged companies for the last 10 months. But now, I am very glad to welcome and present our new CEO, Mads Peter Zacho. After careful and in -- and many in-person meetings, by now we know Mads well and are certain he is the right person to join our executive team to lead Navigator during the next phase. The next decade for shipping in general and for Navigator, in particular, are going to be very interesting and challenging. I can without a doubt tell you it will bring several profitable growth opportunities for our company. Mads has joined us from Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, where he was Head of Industry Transition. With a long career in shipping, including Mærsk, J. Lauritzen, TORM and Svitzer, and a deep corporate experience, we are well placed to tradition -- to transition into a new exciting period of growth with Mads at the helm and we look forward as a Board to continuing to work closely with him and the executive team in the coming years. With that, I will hand over to the call to Mads, who can introduce himself and give us some comments before we move on with the formal proceedings of this earnings call. Thank you.

Great. Thank you, Dag, for the introduction and the kind words and good morning to you all. Before I begin, I’d like to first express my gratitude to the senior executive committee who’s been leading Navigator prior to my appointment. Oeyvind, Niall and Michael Schrader have stepped up to jointly fill the role at the senior management team since late 2021, have together driven Navigator to achieve new records. They have not only maintained our stated goals, but have driven some of the strongest operational performances as a company at the same time. This speaks volumes to their capability, tireless work and commitment to this company, and for that, I cannot thank you enough. By way of introduction, I joined Navigator from The Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping. My career over the past 20 years have been in shipping where I held a number of several leadership positions. I am very excited to lead Navigator as we transition into our next and very exciting period of growth. I joined Navigator at a crucial time in the company’s and also the industry’s history. The rising importance and demand required to fuel the energy transition cannot be understated, and in tandem, neither can the pace at which it’s required. In addition, the importance of energy security nationally and locally has taken on a whole new level of significance. This is emphasizing the importance of strong infrastructure and reliable supply chains. I believe that we at Navigator are ideally placed to support this transition and hence my grand excitement about joining this company. Not only do we have the skills and expertise developed over years of exceptional service, we also have an extraordinary and determined workforce, and critically, a young fleet with -- which continues to lead the handysize market. Having worked across the industry in multiple functions, I believe that by continuing to build on our market position, contracts and ingenuity, we can take this company to further heights. And more specifically, Navigator has a successful track record in making accretive vessel acquisitions and further consolidating the handysize and smaller LPG shipping fleet. We remain engaged in the market and will continue to pursue accretive second-hand acquisitions that will complement our fleet and reduce our average fleet age. In addition, we are working closely with our partner, Enterprise and reviewing options to best expand our ethylene export terminal in Houston. To note, the terminal sets another quarterly record in the second quarter in terms of both throughput, volumes, as well as financial performance. Our guidance for 2022 remains intact. Together with our partners, we will continue to service our growing target market, and importantly, deliver growth and value to our shareholders. And with that, I’d like to hand it over to Niall. He will talk you through our financial results from Q2 2022. Please, Niall, take over.

Thank you, Mads, and good morning, everybody. The operating performance for the second quarter was not actually dissimilar from that of the first quarter, although there were some important differences in the constituent parts. The net income for the quarter was $14 million or $0.18 per share, which when compared to the $300,000 generated in the second quarter of 2021 or $0.01 per share, provides an indication of the trajectory the company has taken over the past 12 months and hope to continue in the coming quarters. The adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter at $55 million, compared favorably to the $28.8 million for the second quarter of 2021 and is the third consecutive quarter with EBITDA in excess of $55 million. The total operating revenues for the second quarter were $123.9 million, compared to $85.7 million for the comparative second quarter of 2021, $12.3 million of the $37.3 million increase in revenue was generally as a result of the additional seven handysize vessels joining the fleet as part of the Ultragas transaction, with a further $11.4 million generated from the nine smaller vessels acquired that operate within the independently run Unigas pool. Charter rates too continued to improve during the quarter, which accounted for $8.3 million of the overall increase in revenues, with an average charter rate rising to $24,633 per day or just under $750,000 per month, the highest daily time charter equivalent since Q2 of 2016 and compares to $22,169 per day or approximately $674,000 per month for the second quarter of 2021, and importantly, this $24,633 per day was also an increase from the $22,900 per day achieved last quarter, the first quarter of 2022. Although vessel utilization improved to 87.4% during the second quarter, compared to 85.4% for the second quarter of last year, it…

Thank you, Niall, and good day to all the listeners. The U.S. is the main global locomotive for natural gas liquids production and exports and it does not disappoint. On page 12, we can see that North American LPG exports reached new highs during the second quarter of this year, with record exports during June. A larger proportion of these exports deviated from Asia destinations to discharge ports located in the Atlantic base. Any additional volume needing maritime logistics in this region is generally positive for medium and handysize vessels due to the shorter distances. As a result, handysize LPG cargoes from the U.S. grew during the last few months. However, not yet near the high of January 2021, but it’s showcasing a degree of volatility, as well as a proven upside to our segment. In parallel, between the increasing LPG exports, we are also seeing a similar trend for ethane. Ethane exports from the U.S. are reaching new highs, with additional volumes heading both across the Atlantic, as well as the Pacific. Our vessels offer a safe, reliable and efficient pipeline service in both directions and we believe this will continue for the long-term in the ethane market. Whilst ethane continues to be the cheapest feedstock for the production of ethylene, U.S. propane remains competitive compared to naphtha for the production of propylene. This can be seen on page 13. Most of the European petrochemical producers have the capacity to switch from oil to gas should the price be sufficiently attractive as it is today. Consequently, Europe is importing larger volumes of propane from the U.S. for propylene production. However, in addition, LPG is extremely versatile and is also used for energy. Europe is struggling with high energy prices due to issues with natural gas supplies, which makes LPG…

Excellent. Hey. Thank you, Oeyvind. Operator, we will now open the lines for some Q&A. So, with that, first question, your line should be open.

Howdy team Navigator. How is it going? This is Omar from Jefferies.

Hi.

Hi, Omar.

Hi. That’s the standard Jefferies greeting. For those who don’t know, Randy, he installed that while he was here. Mads, welcome to Navigator. First off, I just wanted to ask maybe, Oeyvind, on your latest commentary regarding ammonia. You mentioned the blue and green ammonia, and I guess, from a sort of a bigger picture perspective, the ammonia trade has been somewhat, I guess, inconsistent over the past many years with some up years, some down years, with really no major change to overall tons moved. Do you think that’s changing, are you seeing that shift and maybe it starts to get into a high gear, like, we have seen with more broader propane and butane trade?

Maybe I can just start out and then you can take over, Oeyvind. From my perspective, there are some -- you could say, short-term and you can say, EDP related fluctuations and so on. But structurally and if you look at the longer term, there will be some very significant changes taking place. First of all, the food security situation has changed dramatically just over the course of this year and that means that the need for ammonia as fertilizer will grow, certainly. Secondly, ammonia is a very, very important energy carrier for carrying and transporting hydrogen between continents. It’s much more efficient to carry hydrogen as ammonia and then it can be split upon arrival. And then, of course, thirdly, ammonia in itself is going to be an important fuel for the future not only for shipping, but also potentially for other industries. So there are some very -- there are a ton of projects that are already under development to produce both blue and green ammonia. But, Oeyvind, you can elaborate, please.

Omar, to answer your question, 12 months ago, there was lackluster demand for ammonia. It was a -- it was pretty traditional 17 million tons being transported by sea, went up a little bit, it went down a little bit, today in comparison, it’s night and day. In terms of compensation, interest and serious companies who want to expand, build more production, production then means more exports demand for shipping. So shipping and the additional incremental production supply of ammonia goes hand in hand. So they are very -- where this will go, we shall see, but it’s definitely a very exciting area to be part of. Just in our own segment, we never had this many ammonia ships on charter before and I don’t think that’s going to end anytime soon, and if you see in one of the charts there, we haven’t. I mean, what is happening is ammonia, everybody who needs ammonia looking around the world, not within the region, but around the world globally to find ammonia today. And the distances are vastly increasing and you need more ships, which is a great thing for us and we are a big player in that space. So more to come, I am sure.

Thanks. Yeah. That’s interesting. So from all talk to now activity, we will see how things develop there. Second, sort of a follow-up, just wanted to ask about the ethylene movements that you are highlighting and how it’s been more geared towards Europe here over the past couple of quarters instead of maybe being a bit more balanced to Asia as well. And you said that that creates more supply of ships, because of the shorter ton mile, which obviously sounds like it leans negative. But your realized rate during the quarter up 24% plus was at the highest level since 2016. So did you see an effect or an impact of the shorter ton mile, was it fleet utilization or is that maybe something still to be seen?

Yeah. It -- petrochemical demand generally still common, and if GDP is uncertain and consumers are not spending on household items and so forth, because their disposable income is under stress, because of inflation and other things, then of course, demand and GDP is quite -- it’s softening. So we are plugged into the global trade and we see that there’s -- the pie is smaller. What does that mean? It means that it’s a little bit more tricky to do trades. The trades are happening, takes more time, but it is shorter, there’s more squeeze on utilization. But I think this is a short-term impact today. All eyes on China and when they are getting out of their malaise with the zero COVID strategy and so forth, but it is good to see that at least Europe, which have their own issues, are importing or taking the role of China in the terms of ethylene. But that is softening on the petrochemical side, which is ethylene, which is butadiene, which is propylene, it’s a matter of fact.

Okay. All right. Thanks. Thanks, Oeyvind. I will leave it there. Thanks, guys.

Thanks, Omar. Next question, your line should be open. Operator, if you can open the line.

Hey, team. Can you guys hear me? This is Ben Nolan at Stifel.

Hey, Ben. We can hear you.

Good. So my first question goes a little bit to what, Oeyvind, you were talking about in your prepared remarks, just as it really relates to how we are thinking about Europe through the winter. There’s a lot of discussion in Germany and elsewhere about rationing of natural gas and maybe petrochemical plants being down or having to dramatically cut their output. How does this impact what you guys do if there is gas rationing or if they shut the work week down to three days or what’s the impact on that, what you guys do?

Thank you, Ben. Very deep question there. So at least for our LPG, I think, it’s a positive, LPG transportation from any other location that you can buy LPG from, whether that’s Mediterranean, or more importantly, in North America. North America has supply. So that brings shipping into the picture. In rationing situation, then you would expect the nations or Europe to look for other energy sources. And as I mentioned, LPG is extremely versatile and is an excellent source of energy. So perhaps if you used to run your cooker on natural gas and if there is lack of natural gas, you could see LPG being spiked into the natural gas beam, although you have to be careful about BTU levels. However, you can also perhaps be more likely to buy a canister or cylinder of LPG and have it as a camping device. I mean, the -- it’s very versatile, and I think, you are getting into that for winter when temperatures in Europe generally gets colder and you get a pinch on that, you need more energy and LPG could be part of alleviating some of that pain and that means more transportation across all segments, big ships, medium ships, ships, handysize ships in the Atlantic Basin. So we haven’t seen -- we have seen a little bit now, you saw it on the slide, a little bit more LPG from the U.S. on handysize. U.S. exporting record volumes, more of it proportionally is in the Atlantic Basin, meaning Europe, Africa and Latin America. I think that is going to stay, if not increase, because of everything that’s happening in Europe.

I appreciate the answer there. And then my next question is, maybe for Mads and Dag. The last number of years, obviously, the ethylene terminal has come online and there’s been a lot of discussion about the expansion of that and appreciating that really is probably more in the hands of your infrastructure partner in terms of the expansion and timing. But maybe big picture, how you guys think of the evolution of Navigator in terms of that infrastructure element? Where do you see the company going in, let’s say, the next five years in terms of how you are allocating capital to shipping versus petrochemical and LPG infrastructure?

Maybe I can just kick us off and then I will invite my colleagues, Dag and Oeyvind, also to add here. We are extremely pleased with the cooperation that we are having with Enterprise. The whole process around building the terminal, getting it on stream and seeing the effects of having that integration together with our fleet and then having the on land large export volumes in our own hands together with Enterprise has worked really well for us. So it has been a project that has been run on time and budget and also one that has fully lived up to our expectations. So it would be natural for us to want to continue expanding that relationship with Enterprise and we will certainly stay in these extremely fruitful discussions that we are having with them right now to see how we can best expand it, because it is strategically very, very important for us and something that supplements our focus on shipping as well.

Just to add -- thanks, Mads. Just to add to that -- thanks, Ben, for the question. That USA Shale Gas has made North America amazingly competitive. And you are seeing great, lots of projects and many probably coming on-stream soon, growing the exports of ethane, ethylene and other petchem gases. You are seeing with this competitive edge, USA has -- American Shale Gas has kind of a reindustrialization of the U.S. Gulf area. So this is good news, because it will be exported, it will be shipped and we will be present in that.

Great. And I allowed one more, Randy, is that okay?

Yeah. Go for it. One is exception.

Okay. I -- my last question is around utilization, you are sort of in the high 80s, the last time we were at these kind of day rates, it was closer to the mid-90s. Is there something structurally a little bit different about how the business operates today versus how it operated in the previous cycle when we were at these kind of rates or is mid -- maybe even high 90s achievable again?

On that graph, Ben, on page 15, you can say -- you can see the utilization points per month going back a couple of years. So there’s no structurally different today than that you see throughout that time period in that graph. Except, of course, the ethylene terminal kicked in really this year, which is great. However, you have nuances such that where does cargoes go, is it Asia, is it Europe? That sort of stuff. What it doesn’t show as well is propylene and butadiene, is it short sea, it from Europe to Asia or Europe to U.S., propylene, et cetera. So the petchem side of that petchem utilization, petchem trade is really what is driving the utilization between, whether it’s 90 plus or 90 below. What is good to see now is the ammonia is backing up from the low, so that is creating a sustainable floor for us in terms of utilization. So the more we do in ammonia or LPG charter time reduces that volatility. But it’s the petrochemical side, which…

Yeah.

… is the volatility that causes utilization up and down. But, again, it’s no structurally different today than a year ago or two years ago, except our term, which is meaning.

All right. Appreciate. Thank you, guys.

Thanks, Ben. All right. Next question, your line should be open.

Hi, guys. Can you hear me? This is Sean Morgan with Evercore.

Hey, Sean. We can hear you.

Hey. So I think this is a pretty helpful and detailed chart on slide nine, and I was just wondering, with the Ultragas merger now being about a year on, you have had some time to sort of look at synergies. Is there any -- has most of the low hanging fruit sort of executed or is there kind of more we could sort of find in terms of G&A or just other kind of share costs between the two fleets to kind of bring down the cash breakeven to, I guess, sort of help the margin a little bit, kind of a mid to sort of moderately strong rate environment you guys have? Hello?

Yeah.

Niall, will you speak to that one, please?

Yeah. Sure. So, Sean, there are some synergies, but it’s a bit longer than just a sprint. There are some synergies that we have already made, a lot of it, I think, as we discussed perhaps some calls ago related to the technical management, to the crewing management of the vessels. And as you appreciate, that takes changing crew on ships takes some time and that is the largest benefit of that we foresee in the synergistic effect of merging the two businesses. But there are some of the low hanging fruit that have already been explored and accepted, but there is yet quite a lot more to come.

All right. Thanks, Niall. And then just kind of just touching again on the European and Chinese demand for ethylene, which I think people have talked about, but maybe asking a little bit differently. We had almost surprisingly high utilization of U.S. exports from Europe and do you think that that’s -- if you had a sort of way out, whether it’s the COVID-related sort of industrial slowdown in China or is there maybe a little bit of demand disruption in Asia happening, because they are sort of getting crowded out of the trade by European buyers willing to pay just really excessive premiums because of their energy insecurity?

It’s a little bit of both, Sean. If you talk about China first, ethane as a feedstock to produce ethylene is going very strong to Chinese crackers. So the demand is there and they are competitive compared to the vast majority in Chinese crackers are run on naphtha oil. Oil has been very high, so they have reduced operating rates. But on one of the graphs, ethane has gone from strength-to-strength to Chinese crackers. The crackers that can’t, it’s very few. So that shows the strength of ethane to ethylene in China, and of course, if consumption is down or reduced in China, that impacts petrochemical trade flows as we see today. So conversely, in Europe, they have old inefficient crackers that produce ethylene. So if they are unable to use oil, sorry, if oil is very expensive and they are inefficient crackers and if they cannot switch to gas like ethane, some do, but some don’t, then they are definitely disadvantaged. Therefore, those guys will reduce operating rates and then commercially pay up for ethylene, should they need. But demand in consumption in Europe too, just consumption in household items and so forth is also under pressure. But Europe is still buying because they kind of needed, which is not good for trade.

All right. Thanks, Oeyvind. That’s it for me.

Thanks, Sean.

Thanks.

All right. Next question, your line should be open.

Hello, everybody. This is Turner from Clarksons.

Hey, Turner.

Hello is the traditional greeting at Clarksons when Omar was here, so…

Noted.

… we will continue with that, a bit of musical chairs on this conference call. So I just wanted to touch on the TC fleet. I guess you have quite a few ships that are rolling over, just looking at the appendix, I think, I counted 11 ships that have been on time charter that will roll over the next six months. Can you give us some color, flavor in terms of how those negotiations are going, how you are thinking about sort of time charter coverage versus spot and what the rates may look like compared to kind of what they are currently on? Thanks.

Yeah. Thanks, Turner. The time charter market in the handysize space is typically 12 months. So invariably -- six months to 12 months. Invariably, at any point in time, you will have negotiations or you have renewals or people or customers are thinking about, okay, how does the future look and how can we, in partnership with Navigator, come to agreement to make the supply chain more efficient, et cetera, on a time charter basis on that. So we have those internal discussions every week. Typically, we have had 50% coverage. Today, we have a little bit more, because of the ammonia has pushed up on a good note. But the rate environment is Europe, for Clarksons, we typically peg our assessments and so forth publicly on the Clarksons assessments, so you can take huge from that. The text about, I mean, textbook in shipping, as you know, if the market is expected to be up or down, it depends on whether the customer and the ship owner wants time charter. So we are in a little bit of mix on that.

Right. So, I guess just looking at the public rates, it should be up about 10% versus last year, if you look at the rates for this year, is that about right?

If that’s what your graph says, yes.

I will trust the Clarksons data. Okay. Thanks. And then, I guess, could you talk a little bit more about the supply side? There hasn’t been a lot of discussion on this call so far on that element, especially as we are looking into next year. Newbuild prices continue to go up as far as I can see, marginally not a lot of ordering, it’s a quite modest order book in the handysize segment, and I guess, there’s some environmental regulations that are coming into play and some older ships as well. So over the next year or two sort of within the sort of view of the order book, how do you see the fleet developing? Thanks.

Yeah. So we have visibility on the supply side for the next three years. The orders of ship today used to be 24 months, 28 months. Now it’s longer because of supply chain issues. So we have visibility over the next three years. And the order book for the handysize is quite limited, which is a good thing and there are about 10 vessels that are more than 20 years of age, which -- or 25 years of age, which will invariably fall off on the other side. So the fleet supply side is positive, it’s balanced, which is a good platform to start off with and when we talk about the future. So we don’t foresee any rush to order in the handysize space or any space, really, depending if it’s project-based. But in the gas segment, because as you say, it’s expensive today, delivery times are long, but also there are -- you need to have consideration about a few -- what engines to use, what do you think you have an opinion about, what is the fuel of the future and so forth, et cetera. So it’s -- if you have ships today, which Navigate would do, the situation is good.

Okay. And if I could squeeze one last one in. Dag in his remarks was talking about the U.S. just incredible competitiveness, especially in the midst of the European energy crisis, which just seems to get worse day-by-day and exports out of the U.S., I guess, as a consequence of that and higher production increasing. Are there any bottlenecks on the infrastructure side that could kind of hit the brakes in terms of U.S. exports, I mean, they are at high levels. You have been running your terminal at quite high levels, close to capacity or above even the times, but do you see any bottlenecks that could slow things down? Thanks.

I wouldn’t be able to answer in detail about operating bottlenecks, pipeline, storage. I think there’s no, there’s always a black swan here in there that can hit weather or other issues. But I think not, I do also see that developing terminals, new infrastructure, investing and expansion, production and export expansion projects is easier in USA than in other parts of the world, especially if you look into Europe, for example. So I do sense that there is a -- that the competitive edge is not only on the competitive availability, the availability of natural gas and shale gas, it’s also the network that already exists, the pipelines that already exist, couple of large companies, including our good partners, Enterprise, who have an amazing grid. So, in general terms, I see…

Yeah.

… definitely more strength than bottlenecks or troubles. But maybe Randy or Oeyvind can complement.

I think having toward North America and visited some of the midstream companies recently, they are quite optimistic about the future. They are revising their CapEx program, people are talking about new fractionators, because production is going up, you must have fractionators to facilitate all of it. So the industry in North America on that front very optimistic about the future. And also there was a question at the conference, I think, that Randy visited earlier this week. On the question of red tape or bureaucracy permitting in North America and it’s available, and it’s there for new expansion, for production, midstream, and then, ultimately, exports.

Yeah. And as Dag mentioned, Enterprise, I think, on their recent call announced six or seven different growth projects, Energy Transfer, the same, Kinder Morgan, Plains All American, any of these midstream kind of pipeline companies are focused on that very thing, more pipelines, more terminal capacity and a lot of those hydrocarbons are going through the water, right, for European or Asian imports. So I think that growth is coming.

Okay. Thank you very much. I will turn it back.

Thanks, Turner. All right. Next question, your line should be open.

Good morning, team. This is Climent Molins. I am from Value Investor’s Edge. Thank you for taking my questions.

Hey, Climent.

You have been clear on your willingness to pursue the expansion of your ethylene terminal and I was wondering if you could provide some commentary on whether you are looking into potentially participating in other infrastructure projects? And following on that, should you find any attractive opportunities, do you believe your current fleet would be enough to service them?

Excellent questions. Infrastructure, should we -- are we looking? Yes. Will it have a positive impact on the fleet that we need more transportation? Yes.

All right. That’s helpful. And you are still trading at a sizable discount to NAV, and I was wondering, is there any appetite to pursue share repurchases in the current environment? How would you balance share repurchases with potential CapEx if attractive opportunities come along?

Maybe I can just talk to that one and we constantly evaluate how our projects measure up about to other ways of returning -- making returns for the investors. So we keep a very close look at that and we are definitely evaluating all the options and we will be super happy to revert back to you during the second half of this year to make more clarity around how we do that. But we are definitely very observant about the discount that we are trading at and that certainly goes into our consideration around how we best secure that there’s a good return to the shareholders.

All right. That’s it for me. Thank you for taking my questions and congratulations for the quarter.

Thanks, Climent. All right. We have time for one more question. Operator, if there’s any more, you can open their line.

Thanks. This is Tom Mckay. I wanted to ask, Niall, what -- a question about the debt level the company has. You have been reducing debt since the Ultragas combination last year and could you comment on what your target debt level, your ideal debt level would be?

Hi, Tom. Yeah. I mean, the debt level is an amalgam of different things. As you may recall, the terminal was financed pretty much 100% on debt. The Ultragas ships on the other hand were actually got quite a low gearing. So we have got a kind of a mixed bag and a lot of the recent significant reduction in debt is associated with the terminal, not surprisingly given the cash distributions we are getting from that. In terms of the target, I think, somewhere we are at about 43% net debt to capitalization at the moment. I think somewhere around there we are reasonably comfortable with, it could come off at another couple of points down to, say, 40%, 39%, something around that -- those levels.

Okay. Great. Thanks.

Thanks, Tom. Well, that’s it for the call. I’d like to turn it back over to Mads for some closing remarks.

Yes. I just wanted to thank you all for the great questions that you asked and also for a good discussion. We really appreciate this dialogue with you and it was a good quarter. It was a strong quarter and that was, it means that the whole first half of 2022 came out really well. So we look forward to continuing the momentum that we have had and we also look forward to continuing to keeping you updated on both the growth opportunities that we are seeing right now and there are several and also other exciting developments that may come that can strengthen and secure that the return to the shareholders remains strong in the long-term as well. So thank you so much for joining us and look forward to keeping you updated as we go.

Thank you.
