The balance sheet remains robust with $216 million of cash and $301 million of total liquidity, even after capital returns and newbuilding installments.\nAdditionally, their 50% stake in the Morgan's Point ethylene export terminal on the Houston Ship Channel, a joint venture with Enterprise Products Partners, provides approximately $5 million per quarter in EBITDA for Navigator's 50% share of the joint venture since 4Q21.\nAnother focus for management is returning capital to shareholders. The company now pays a fixed quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share as part of a payout of 30% of net income, up from 25%.\nBeyond dividends, over the past three years, NVGS has repurchased 12 million of its shares totaling $174 million, at an average price of $14.20/share. Combined with dividends, $210 million has been returned to shareholders.\nThe commercial outlook appears to be favorable as Mr. Lindeman pointed to growing global seaborne trade for LPG, ammonia, and petrochemicals, driven by increasing U.S. natural gas liquids production. On the supply side, the orderbook for Handysize vessels is low at 11%, and the fleet is aging. Fleet utilization has rebounded to around 90%, which management considers a healthy market level.\nFinally, Mr. Zacho confirmed the company is actively monitoring acquisition opportunities in both the Handysize and more fragmented mid-size segments. \"We have a keen interest in consolidating. We are looking for opportunities here,\" he said.\nDuring the Q&A session, Mr. Lindeman addressed the fact that the premium earned by semi-refrigerated vessels over fully refrigerated ones is due to their added flexibility to carry easy petrochemicals.\nRegarding routing decisions, particularly through the Panama Canal versus the Cape of Good Hope, factors include canal congestion, risk assessments in the Red Sea, weather patterns, customer preference, geopolitical factors, and other considerations. He noted NVGS's vessels can use the Panama Canal's older locks, making them less susceptible to congestion issues that affect larger ships.\nDisclosure: Capital Link works with Navigator Gas. This content is for informational purposes only and not intended to be investing advice.
