OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to three months ended September 30, 2014
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, Danaos had an average of 56.0 containerships compared to 54.0 containerships for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Our fleet utilization increased to 100.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 99.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues increased by 3.6%, or $5.0 million, to $144.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $139.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 reflect:
· $3.4 million of additional revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, related to the Priority and the Performance, which were added to our fleet on November 5, 2014.
· $0.3 million incremental revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, related to revenue recognition accounting of the Zim restructuring.
· $1.0 million of higher revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 due to improved re-chartering of some of our vessels at higher rates.
· $0.3 million of additional revenues due to improved fleet utilization in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses decreased by $0.1 million, to $3.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $3.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Vessel Operating Expenses
Vessel operating expenses increased by 5.2%, or $1.4 million, to $28.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $26.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase is mainly attributed to incremental operating expenses of $1.1 million for the vessels Priority and the Performance which were acquired on November 5, 2014.
The average daily operating cost per vessel slightly increased to $5,669 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $5,611 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Management believes that our daily operating cost ranks as one of the most competitive in the industry.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense decreased by 3.5%, or $1.2 million, to $33.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $34.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014, mainly due to the lower depreciation expense on the eight 2,200 TEU vessels with respect to which we recorded an impairment charge on December 31, 2014.
1
Amortization of Deferred Drydocking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs decreased by $0.2 million, to $0.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is mainly due to the expiration of the amortization periods related to certain vessels over the last twelve months.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million, to $5.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $5.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Effective January 1, 2015, our management fees were adjusted to a fee of $850 per day, a fee of $425 per vessel per day for vessels on bareboat charter and a fee of $850 per vessel per day for vessels on time charter.
Interest Expense and Interest Income
Interest expense decreased by 10.7%, or $2.1 million, to $17.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $19.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The change in interest expense was mainly due to the decrease in our average debt by $217.4 million, to $2,875.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $3,092.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014, as well as the decrease in the cost of debt service in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, mainly driven by the accelerated amortization of our fixed rate debt, which bears a higher cost compared to our floating rate debt.
The Company is rapidly deleveraging its balance sheet. As of September 30, 2015, the debt outstanding was $2,860.1 million compared to $3,063.2 million as of September 30, 2014.
Interest income remained stable amounting to $0.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and in the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Other Finance Costs, net
Other finance costs, net decreased by $0.4 million, to $4.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $5.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was mainly due to the $0.3 million decrease in amortizing finance fees (which were deferred and are amortized over the term of the respective credit facilities) in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Equity loss on investments
Equity loss on investments of $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 relates to the investment in Gemini made in August 2015.
Unrealized and realized (loss)/gain on derivatives
Unrealized gain on interest rate swaps amounted to $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a gain of $9.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The unrealized gains were attributable to mark to market valuation of our swaps due to the discontinuation of hedge accounting since July 1, 2012, as well as reclassification of unrealized losses from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to our earnings.
Realized loss on interest rate swaps decreased by $19.6 million, to $12.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $31.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease is attributable to a $1,617.4 million lower average notional amount of swaps during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of swap expirations.
2
Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Danaos had an average of 56.0 containerships compared to 56.1 containerships for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Our fleet utilization increased to 99.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 97.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues increased by 3.2%, or $13.2 million, to $424.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $411.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflect:
· $9.0 million of additional revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, related to the Priority and the Performance, which were added to our fleet on November 5, 2014.
· $4.6 million increase in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, related to revenue recognition accounting of the Zim restructuring that became effective on July 16, 2014.
· $1.0 million increase in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to improved re-chartering of some of our vessels at higher rates.
· $2.1 million decrease in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, related to the Commodore, the Messologi and the Mytilini, which were generating revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and were sold within 2014.
· $0.7 million of additional revenues due to improved fleet utilization in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses decreased by $0.4 million, to $9.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $9.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Vessel Operating Expenses
Vessel operating expenses decreased by 1.0%, or $0.9 million, to $85.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $86.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The reduction is attributable to an improvement in the average daily operating cost per vessel between the two periods.
The average daily operating cost per vessel decreased to $5,770 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $5,895 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, mainly as a result of an 17.7% improvement in the average Euro to Dollar exchange rate between the two periods. Management believes that our daily operating cost ranks as one of the most competitive in the industry.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense decreased by 3.8%, or $3.9 million, to $98.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $102.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, mainly due to the lower depreciation expense on the eight 2,200 TEU vessels with respect to which we recorded an impairment charge on December 31, 2014.
Amortization of Deferred Drydocking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs decreased by $0.3 million, to $2.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $3.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is mainly due to the expiration of the amortization periods related to certain vessels during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
3
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million, to $16.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $15.9 million the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Effective January 1, 2015, our management fees were adjusted to a fee of $850 per day, a fee of $425 per vessel per day for vessels on bareboat charter and a fee of $850 per vessel per day for vessels on time charter.
Gain on sale of vessels
Gain on sale of vessels was nil in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a gain of $5.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we sold the Marathonas on February 26, 2014, the Commodore on April 25, 2014, the Duka on May 15, 2014, the Mytilini on May 15, 2014 and the Messologi on May 20, 2014. There were no vessel sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Interest Expense and Interest Income
Interest expense decreased by 12.3%, or $7.5 million, to $53.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $61.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The change in interest expense was mainly due to the decrease in our average debt by $219.7 million, to $2,926.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $3,145.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as well as the decrease in the cost of debt servicing in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, mainly driven by the accelerated amortization of our fixed rate debt, which bears a higher cost compared to our floating rate debt.
The Company is rapidly deleveraging its balance sheet. As of September 30, 2015, the debt outstanding was $2,860.1 million compared to $3,063.2 million as of September 30, 2014.
Interest income amounted to $2.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $0.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase is attributed to the interest income related to the Zim restructuring that became effective on July 16, 2014.
Other Finance Costs, net
Other finance costs, net, decreased by $0.7 million, to $14.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $14.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was due to the $0.6 million decrease in amortizing finance fees (which were deferred and are amortized over the term of the respective credit facilities) in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Equity loss on investments
Equity loss on investments of $1.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relates to the investment in Gemini made in August 2015.
Unrealized and realized (loss)/gain on derivatives
Unrealized gain on interest rate swaps amounted to $11.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a gain of $19.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The unrealized gains were attributable to mark to market valuation of our swaps due to the discontinuation of hedge accounting since July 1, 2012, as well as reclassification of unrealized losses from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to our earnings.
Realized loss on interest rate swaps decreased by $49.3 million, to $47.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $97.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease is attributable to $1,373.8 million lower average notional amount of swaps during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of swap expirations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds have been operating cash flows, vessel sales, long-term bank borrowings and a common stock sale in August 2010, as well as our initial public offering in October 2006. Our principal uses of funds have been capital expenditures to establish, grow and maintain our fleet, comply with international shipping standards, environmental laws and regulations and to fund working capital requirements, including debt repayments.
Our short-term liquidity needs primarily relate to funding our vessel operating expenses, debt interest payments and servicing the current portion of our debt obligations. Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to debt repayment and capital expenditures related to any further growth of our fleet. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds will be cash from operations and equity or capital markets debt financings, subject to restrictions on uses of such funds and incurrence of debt in our credit facilities.
Under our existing multi-year charters as of September 30, 2015, we had contracted revenues of $140.3 million for the remainder of 2015, $520.8 million for 2016 and, thereafter, approximately $2.6 billion. Although these expected revenues are based on contracted charter rates, we are dependent on our charterers ability and willingness to meet their obligations under these charters.
As of September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $96.2 million. As of September 30, 2015, we had no remaining borrowing availability under our credit facilities. As of September 30, 2015, we had $28.5 million of vendor financing outstanding, which is payable within the next twelve months, and $2,831.5 million of outstanding indebtedness, of which $254.3 million was payable within the next twelve months.
On January 24, 2011, we entered into a definitive agreement, which we refer to as the Bank Agreement, which became effective on March 4, 2011, in respect of our existing financing arrangements (other than our credit facilities with the Export Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM) and with KEXIM and ABN Amro), and for new credit facilities, which we refer to as the January 2011 Credit Facilities, from certain of our lenders aggregating $424.75 million. We are required under the Bank Agreement to apply a substantial portion of our cash from operations to the repayment of principal under our financing arrangements. We currently expect that the remaining portion of our cash from operations will be sufficient to fund all of our other obligations. Under the Bank Agreement, we are subject to limits on our ability to incur additional indebtedness without our lenders consent and requirements for the application of proceeds from any future vessel sales or financings, including sales of equity, as well as other transactions. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects, as well as Note 12, Long-term Debt to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 20 -F for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2015.
As of September 30, 2015, we were in compliance with the financial and collateral coverage covenants under our debt arrangements. We believe that continued future compliance with the terms of these agreements will allow us to satisfy our liquidity needs. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds described above, including future equity or debt financings in the case of any further growth of our fleet to the extent permitted under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to satisfy all of the short-term and long-term liquidity needs described above, up to the 2018 maturity of the credit facilities under our Bank Agreement, which we expect to refinance at such time.
Our board of directors determined in 2009 to suspend the payment of further cash dividends as a result of market conditions in the international shipping industry and in order to conserve cash to be applied toward the financing of our then extensive newbuilding program. Under the Bank Agreement and the Sinosure-CEXIM credit facility, we are not permitted to pay cash dividends or repurchase shares of our capital stock unless (i) our consolidated net leverage is below 6:1 for four consecutive quarters and (ii) the ratio of the aggregate market value of our vessels to our outstanding indebtedness exceeds 125% for four consecutive quarters and provided that an event of default has not occurred and we are not, and after giving effect to the payment of the dividend, in breach of any covenant.
We have 15,000,000 outstanding warrants, which will expire on January 31, 2019, with an exercise price of $7.00 per share. We will not receive any cash upon exercise of the warrants as the warrants are only exercisable on a cashless basis.
In July 2014, ZIM and its creditors entered into definitive documentation effecting ZIMs restructuring with its creditors. The terms of the restructuring included a reduction in the charter rates payable by ZIM under its time charters, expiring in 2020 or 2021, for six of our vessels. The terms also included our receipt of approximately $49.9 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured, interest bearing ZIM notes maturing in 2023 (consisting of $8.8 million of 3% Series 1 Notes due 2023 amortizing subject to available cash flow in accordance with a corporate cash sweep mechanism, and $41.1 million of 5% Series 2 Notes due 2023 non-amortizing (of the 5% interest rate, 3% is payable quarterly in cash and 2% is payable in kind, accrued quarterly with deferred cash payment on maturity)) and ZIM shares representing approximately 7.4% of the outstanding ZIM shares immediately after the restructuring, in exchange for such charter rate reductions and cancellation of ZIMs other obligations to us which relate to the outstanding long term receivable as of December 31, 2013. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included in this report.

Cash Flows
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $59.4 million, to $202.2 million provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $142.8 million provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was mainly the result of a reduction in realized losses from derivatives of $49.4 million, reduced interest expense of $7.5 million and lower payments for dry-docking and special survey costs by $2.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash flows (used in)/provided by investing activities decreased by $57.5 million, to $8.1 million used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $49.4 million provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The difference reflects nil net proceeds from sale of vessels in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $50.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was partially offset by cash used for investments in affiliates of $7.4 million and vessel additions of $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to vessels additions of $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $40.1 million, to $155.6 million used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $195.7 million used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in debt payments by $15.3 million and movement in restricted cash of $25.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes, however, that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. See the tables below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation, as well amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs, amortization of deferred realized losses of cash flow interest rate swaps, amortization of finance costs and finance costs accrued. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs, amortization of deferred realized losses of cash flow interest rate swaps, amortization of finance costs and finance costs accrued, unrealized (gain)/loss on derivatives, realized gain/(loss) on derivatives and gain/(loss) on sale of vessels. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance and because they are used by certain investors to measure a companys ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used: (i) by prospective and current customers as well as potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; and (ii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. Our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
6
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Because of these limitations, EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as principal indicators of our performance.

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects as well as Note 12, Long-term Debt to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2015.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Swaps
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements converting floating interest rate exposure into fixed interest rates in order to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates, as well as interest rate swap agreements converting the fixed rate we pay in connection with certain of our credit facilities into floating interest rates in order to economically hedge the fair value of the fixed rate credit facilities against fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates. We do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
On July 1, 2012, we elected to prospectively de-designate interest rate swaps for which we were obtaining hedge accounting treatment due to the compliance burden associated with this accounting policy. As a result, all changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements are recorded in earnings under Unrealized and Realized Losses on Derivatives from the de-designation date forward. We evaluated whether it is probable that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments are probable to not occur in the originally specified time period. We have concluded that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments are probable of occurring. Therefore, unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the previously designated cash flow interest rate swaps will remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings when the interest payments will be recognized. Furthermore, the fair value of the hedged item associated with the previously designated fair value interest rate swaps will be frozen and recognized in earnings when the interest payments will be recognized. If such interest payments were to be identified as being probable of not occurring, both the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance and the fair value of hedged debt balance pertaining to the respective amounts would be reversed through earnings immediately. Refer to Note 12, Financial Instruments, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We did not enter into derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency translation of assets or liabilities or foreign currency transactions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Capitalization and Indebtedness
The table below sets forth our consolidated capitalization as of September 30, 2015.
· on an actual basis; and
· on an as adjusted basis to reflect in the period from October 1, 2015 to November 3, 2015 debt repayments of $14.1 million, of which $10.7 million relates to the Hyundai Samho Vendor financing and $3.4 million to our Sinosure-CEXIM-Citi-ABN Amro credit facility.

Other than these adjustments, there have been no material changes to our capitalization from debt or equity issuances, re-capitalizations, special dividends, or debt repayments as adjusted in the table below from October 1, 2015 to November 3, 2015. This table should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report.

Forward Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including managements examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charterhire rates and vessel values, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants contained in our financing agreements, shipyard performance, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.
Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

DANAOS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
1 Basis of Presentation and General Information
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The reporting and functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar.
Danaos Corporation (Danaos or Company), formerly Danaos Holdings Limited, was formed on December 7, 1998 under the laws of Liberia and is presently the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the companies listed below. Danaos Holdings Limited was redomiciled in the Marshall Islands on October 7, 2005. In connection with the redomiciliation, the Company changed its name to Danaos Corporation. On October 14, 2005, the Company filed and the Marshall Islands accepted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. The authorized capital stock of Danaos Corporation is 750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01. Refer to Note 14, Stockholders Equity.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) of Danaos and subsidiaries contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Companys condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2015, the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the condensed consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Danaos Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Companys principal business is the acquisition and operation of vessels. Danaos conducts its operations through the vessel owning companies whose principal activity is the ownership and operation of containerships that are under the exclusive management of a related party of the Company.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) represent the consolidation of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Inter-company transaction balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the companies are eliminated.
The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as defined in the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entitys residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entitys activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.
The condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) have been prepared to reflect the consolidation of the companies listed below. The historical balance sheets and results of operations of the companies listed below have been reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated Statements of Income, cash flows and stockholders equity at and for each period since their respective incorporation dates.
The consolidated companies are referred to as Danaos, or the Company.
As of September 30, 2015, Danaos included the vessel owning companies (the Danaos Subsidiaries) listed below. All vessels are container vessels:

2 Significant Accounting Policies
All accounting policies are as described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2015.
Investments in affiliates
The Companys investments in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and the Companys proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. The Company evaluates its investments in affiliates for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such investments may have experienced other than temporary decline in value below their carrying value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and is considered an other than temporary decline, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value and the resulting impairment is recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2015, the FASB voted to propose a deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard, ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, by one year. The new guidance would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 instead of December 15, 2016. Entities are permitted to adopt the new standard in accordance with the original effective date in their option. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, (ASU 2015-03). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. The Company is not early adopting this standard and is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and notes disclosures.
3 Restricted Cash
The Company was required to maintain cash of nil and $2.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014, respectively, in a retention bank account as a collateral for the upcoming scheduled debt payments of its KEXIM and KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facilities, which were recorded under current assets in the Companys Balance Sheets.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $75.8 million in relation to eight of its older vessels. Fair value of each vessel was determined by management with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers.
The residual value (estimated scrap value at the end of the vessels useful lives) of the fleet was estimated at $386.4 million as of September 30, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014. The Company has calculated the residual value of the vessels taking into consideration the 10 year average and the 5 year average of the scrap. The Company has applied uniformly the scrap value of $300 per ton for all vessels. The Company believes that $300 per ton is a reasonable estimate of future scrap prices, taking into consideration the cyclicality of the nature of future demand for scrap steel. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to determine the scrap rate are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective, in part, because of the cyclical nature of future demand for scrap steel.

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for drydocking and special survey costs in accordance with accounting for planned major maintenance activities, whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled survey, which is two and a half years. If special survey or drydocking is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. Furthermore, when a vessel is drydocked for more than one reporting period, the respective costs are identified and recorded in the period in which they were incurred and not at the conclusion of the drydocking.

As of July 16, 2014, ZIM and its creditors entered into definitive documentation effecting ZIMs restructuring with its creditors on substantially the same terms as the agreement in principle previously announced by ZIM in January 2014. The terms of the restructuring include a reduction in the charter rates payable by ZIM under its time charters, expiring in 2020 or 2021, for six of the Companys vessels, which had already been implemented beginning in January 2014. The terms also include the receipt of approximately $49.9 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured, interest bearing ZIM notes maturing in 2023 (consisting of $8.8 million of 3% Series 1 Notes due 2023 amortizing subject to available cash flow in accordance with a corporate cash sweep mechanism, and $41.1 million of 5% Series 2 Notes due 2023 non-amortizing (of the 5% interest rate, 3% is payable quarterly in cash and 2% is accrued quarterly with deferred cash payment on maturity)) and ZIM shares representing approximately 7.4% of the outstanding ZIM shares immediately after the restructuring, in exchange for such charter rate reductions and cancellation of ZIMs other obligations to the Company which related to the outstanding long term receivable as of December 31, 2013.
As of July 16, 2014, the Company calculated the fair value of the instruments received from ZIM based on the agreement discussed above, other available information on ZIM, other contracts with similar terms, remaining maturities and interest rates and recorded at fair value an amount of $6.1 million in relation to the Series 1 Notes, $30.1 million in relation to the Series 2 Notes and $28.7 million in relation to its equity participation in ZIM. On a quarterly basis, the Company will account for the fair value unwinding of the Series 1 Notes and Series 2 Notes until the value of the instruments equals their face values on maturity. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company recorded $6.5 million and $6.3 million in relation to the Series 1 Notes and $32.1 million and $30.9 million in relation to the Series 2 Notes, respectively and recognized $0.8 million and $0.4 million in relation to their fair value unwinding in the condensed consolidated Statements of Income in Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Furthermore, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized in the condensed consolidated Statements of Income in Interest income, a non-cash interest income of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in relation to the 2% interest of Series 2 Notes, which is accrued quarterly with deferred cash payment on maturity. The Company will test periodically for impairment of these investments based on the existence of triggering events that indicate ZIMs debt instruments and interest in equity may have been impaired.
Furthermore, as of July 16, 2014, an amount of $39.1 million, which represents the additional compensation received from ZIM, was recorded as unearned revenue representing compensation to the Company for the future reductions in the daily charter rates payable by ZIM under its time charters, expiring in 2020 or 2021, for six of the Companys vessels. This amount is recognized in the condensed consolidated Statements of Income in Operating revenues over the remaining life of the respective time charters. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded an amount of $4.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of unearned revenue amortization in Operating revenues. As of September 30, 2015, the outstanding balances of the current and non-current portion of unearned revenue in relation to ZIM amounted to $6.0 million and $25.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the corresponding outstanding balances of the current and non-current portion of unearned revenue amounted to $6.0 million and $30.4 million, respectively.

On May 4, 2015, the preference shares of Auckland Marine Inc., Seacarriers Services Inc., Seacarriers Lines Inc. and Wellington Marine Inc. (subsidiaries of Danaos Corporation) were redeemed and all agreements related to the arrangement with ABN Amro and Investor Bank were terminated at that date. Refer to Note 12, Long-term Debt to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014 for details of this arrangement. There were no other significant changes to the terms of the Companys credit facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
As of September 30, 2015, there was no remaining borrowing availability under the Companys credit facilities. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under its Bank Agreement and its other credit facilities as of September 30, 2015.
12 Financial Instruments
The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other assets. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long-term bank loans, accounts payable and derivatives.
Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company only uses derivatives for economic hedging purposes. The following is a summary of the Companys risk management strategies and the effect of these strategies on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk arises on bank borrowings. The Company monitors the interest rate on borrowings closely to ensure that the borrowings are maintained at favorable rates.
Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable and derivatives. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with established financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Companys investment strategy. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments, however, the Company limits this exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings. The Company depends upon a limited number of customers for a large part of its revenues. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally managed by the selection of customers among the major liner companies in the world and their dispersion across many geographic areas. The Companys maximum exposure to credit risk is mainly limited to the carrying value of its derivative instruments. The Company is not a party to master netting arrangements.
Fair Value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities excluding long-term bank loans approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term floating rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of the swap agreements equals the amount that would be paid by the Company to cancel the swaps.
Interest Rate Swaps: The off-balance sheet risk in outstanding swap agreements involves both the risk of a counter-party not performing under the terms of the contract and the risk associated with changes in market value. The Company monitors its positions, the credit ratings of counterparties and the level of contracts it enters into with any one party. The counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company has a policy of entering into contracts with parties that meet stringent qualifications and, given the high level of credit quality of its derivative counter-parties, the Company does not believe it is necessary to obtain collateral arrangements.

a. Cash Flow Interest Rate Swap Hedges
The Company, according to its long-term strategic plan to maintain relative stability in its interest rate exposure, has decided to swap part of its interest expense from floating to fixed. To this effect, the Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions with varying start and maturity dates, in order to pro-actively and efficiently manage its floating rate exposure.
These interest rate swaps are designed to economically hedge the variability of interest cash flows arising from floating rate debt, attributable to movements in three month USD$ LIBOR. According to the Companys Risk Management Accounting Policy, and after putting in place the formal documentation required by hedge accounting in order to designate these swaps as hedging instruments, as from their inception, these interest rate swaps qualified for hedge accounting, and, accordingly, from that time until June 30, 2012, only hedge ineffectiveness amounts arising from the differences in the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item were recognized in the Companys earnings. Assessment and measurement of prospective and retrospective effectiveness for these interest rate swaps were performed on a quarterly basis. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the fair value gain or loss associated with the effective portion of the cash flow hedge was recognized initially in stockholders equity, and recognized to the Statement of Income in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
On July 1, 2012, the Company elected to prospectively de designate cash flow interest rate swaps for which it was obtaining hedge accounting treatment due to the compliance burden associated with this accounting policy. As a result, all changes in the fair value of the Companys cash flow interest rate swap agreements are recorded in earnings under Unrealized and Realized Losses on Derivatives from the de designation date forward. The Company evaluated whether it is probable that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments are probable to not occur in the originally specified time period. The Company has concluded that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments are probable of occurring. Therefore, unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the previously designated cash flow interest rate swaps will remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings when the interest payments will be recognized. If such interest payments were to be identified as being probable of not occurring, the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance pertaining to these amounts would be reversed through earnings immediately.

The Company recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Income unrealized gains of $40.1 million and $90.7 million in relation to fair value changes of interest rate swaps for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Furthermore, unrealized losses of $28.6 million and $71.1 million were reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively (following the hedge accounting discontinuance as of July 1, 2012). The Company expects to reclassify from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to earnings within the next twelve months unrealized losses of $4.3 million.

The variable-rate interest on specific borrowings was associated with vessels under construction and was capitalized as a cost of the specific vessels. In accordance with the accounting guidance on derivatives and hedging, the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) related to realized gains or losses on cash flow hedges that have been entered into and qualify for hedge accounting, in order to hedge the variability of that interest, were classified under other comprehensive income/(loss) and are reclassified into earnings over the depreciable life of the constructed asset, since that depreciable life coincides with the amortization period for the capitalized interest cost on the debt. An amount of $3.0 million was reclassified into earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing its amortization over the depreciable life of the vessels.

b. Fair Value Interest Rate Swap Hedges
These interest rate swaps are designed to economically hedge the fair value of the fixed rate loan facilities against fluctuations in the market interest rates by converting the Companys fixed rate loan facilities to floating rate debt. Pursuant to the adoption of the Companys Risk Management Accounting Policy, and after putting in place the formal documentation required by hedge accounting in order to designate these swaps as hedging instruments, as of June 15, 2006, these interest rate swaps qualified for hedge accounting, and, accordingly, from that time until June 30, 2012, hedge ineffectiveness amounts arising from the differences in the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item were recognized in the Companys earnings. The Company considered its strategic use of interest rate swaps to be a prudent method of managing interest rate sensitivity, as it prevented earnings from being exposed to undue risk posed by changes in interest rates. Assessment and measurement of prospective and retrospective effectiveness for these interest rate swaps was performed on a quarterly basis, on the financial statement and earnings reporting dates.
On July 1, 2012, the Company elected to prospectively de-designate fair value interest rate swaps for which it was applying hedge accounting treatment due to the compliance burden associated with this accounting policy. All changes in the fair value of the Companys fair value interest rate swap agreements continue to be recorded in earnings under Unrealized and Realized Losses on Derivatives from the de-designation date forward.
The Company evaluated whether it is probable that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments will not occur in the originally specified time period. The Company has concluded that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments continue to be probable of occurring. Therefore, the fair value of the hedged item associated with the previously designated fair value interest rate swaps will be frozen and recognized in earnings when the interest payments are recognized. If such interest payments were to be identified as being probable of not occurring, the fair value of hedged debt balance pertaining to these amounts would be reversed through earnings immediately.

c. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.
Level I: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.
Level II: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level III: Inputs that are unobservable. The Company did not use any Level 3 inputs as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Interest rate swap contracts are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the interest rate swap contracts have been calculated by discounting the projected future cash flows of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest payments. Projected interest payments are calculated using the appropriate prevailing market forward rates and are discounted using the zero-coupon curve derived from the swap yield curve. Refer to Note 12(a)-(b) above for further information on the Companys interest rate swap contracts.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance of its counterparties in relation to these financial instruments. As of September 30, 2015, these financial instruments are in the counterparties favor. The Company has considered its risk of non-performance and of its counterparties in accordance with the relevant guidance of fair value accounting. The Company performs evaluations of its counterparties for credit risk through ongoing monitoring of their financial health and risk profiles to identify risk or changes in their credit ratings.
