1EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP (non-GAAP financial measures). EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before profit on sale of vessel, unrealized gain or loss on non-designated derivative instruments and foreign currency exchange gain or loss on senior secured bonds.
Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to consolidated net income, cash generated from operations or any measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

- an increase in operating revenues of approximately
$9.7 million attributable to an increase in average monthly time charter equivalent rates, which increased to an average of approximately$27,241 per vessel per day ($828,583 per vessel per calendar month) for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to an average of approximately$24,633 per vessel per day$749,244 per vessel per calendar month) for the three months ended June 30, 2022; - an increase in operating revenues of approximately
$1.9 million attributable to an increase in fleet utilization, which rose to89.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to87.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022; - an increase in operating revenues of approximately
$6.8 million attributable to a 317 day increase in vessel available days, or8.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was in part as a result of the acquisition of five additional handysize vessels by the Navigator Greater Bay Joint Venture during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and in part as a result of fewer vessels in drydock for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. - a decrease in operating revenues of approximately
$2.2 million primarily attributable to a decrease in pass through voyage costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The following table presents selected operating data for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2023, which we believe are useful in understanding the basis for movement in our operating revenues. It does not include our nine owned smaller vessels in the independent commercially managed Unigas Pool or the vessels owned by Pacific Gas in our Luna Pool prior to their acquisition by the Navigator Greater Bay Joint Venture.

* Non-GAAP Financial Measure—Time charter equivalent: Time charter equivalent (“TCE”) rate is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. TCE is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For all charters, we calculate TCE by dividing total operating revenues (excluding collaborative arrangements and revenues from the Unigas Pool), less any voyage expenses (excluding collaborative arrangements), by the number of earning days for the relevant period. TCE rates exclude the effects of the collaborative arrangements, as earning days and fleet utilization, on which TCE rates are based, are calculated for our owned vessels, and not the average of all pool vessels. Under a time charter, the charterer pays substantially all of the vessel voyage related expenses, whereas for voyage charters, also known as spot market charters, we pay all voyage expenses. TCE rate is a shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and contracts of affreightment) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. We include average daily TCE rate, as we believe it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with net operating revenues, because it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating their financial performance. Our calculation of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
