Third Quarter 2025 Results:

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $41.4 million, an increase of $8.4 million, or 25.5%, compared to revenues of $33.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the increase in the average number of vessels following the expansion of our drybulk fleet along with an improvement in market rates for both tankers and drybulk vessels.
Voyage expenses and vessels' operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $11.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively, compared to $13.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $1.4 million decrease in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to increased time charter activity as five out of our nine tankers and nearly all of our ten dry bulk vessels were under time charter employment during the whole period, leading to a decline in spot employment. The $3.7 million increase in vessels' operating expenses is primarily due to the increased size of our fleet by an average of 8.6 vessels.
Drydocking costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $0.05 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, no vessel underwent drydocking whereas during the three months ended September 30, 2024 one of our product tankers underwent drydocking.
General and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $1.2 million for each period.
Depreciation for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $7.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The change is attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
Management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The change is attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
Other operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.9 million and related to the accrued income of an insurance claim in connection with dry-docking repairs undertaken in prior years that is expected to be collected within 2025.
Interest and finance costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The $0.9 million of costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 relate mainly to accrued interest expense – related party in connection with our last seven dry bulk vessel acquisitions for which the purchase agreement allowed payment to take place within one year from the date of entry into the purchase agreement. For accounting purposes, the outstanding balances payable for these seven vessels had to be allocated between principal and imputed interest up until the time of payment, although no interest was contractually charged by the sellers. The final balances, which were paid in full within the third quarter of 2025, remained the same as the originally agreed purchase prices. The $0.1 million of costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 relate mainly to the accrued interest expense – related party, in connection with the $14.0 million, part of the acquisition price of our bulk carrier, Neptulus, which was fully repaid in the second quarter of 2025.
Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.5 million as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $0.6 million decrease is mainly attributed to a lower amount of funds placed under time deposits along with a decrease in time deposit rates.
Interest income – related party for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was nil as compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is mainly attributed to the $0.1 million of accrued interest income – related party for the three months ended September 30, 2024 in connection with the $38.7 million of the sale price of the Aframax tanker Afrapearl II (ex. Stealth Berana). The balance was collected in July 2024.
Foreign exchange (loss)/gain for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was a loss of $0.1 million as compared to a gain of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $1.8 million decrease is mainly attributed to the decreased fluctuation of euro dollar foreign exchange rate when compared to the second quarter of 2025 along with the decrease in the amount of funds held in Euro currency.
As a result of the above, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $11.0 million, compared to net income of $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Dividends paid on Series A Preferred Shares amounted to $0.44 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, basic, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 33.7 million. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $0.30 and $0.29, respectively, compared to earnings per share, basic and diluted, of $0.29 and $0.27, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Adjusted net income¹ was $11.8 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS¹, basic, of $0.32 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to an Adjusted net income of $10.9 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS, basic, of $0.32 for the same period of last year.
EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $17.9 million, while Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the three months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $18.7 million.
An average of 19.0 vessels were owned by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to an average of 10.4 vessels for the same period of 2024.

Nine months 2025 Results:

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $109.9 million, a decrease of $11.4 million, or 9.4%, compared to revenues of $121.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to stronger tanker rates prevailing in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period of 2025.
Voyage expenses and vessels' operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $32.8 million and $26.4 million, respectively, compared to $43.6 million and $19.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $10.8 million decrease in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to a decrease in spot days by 28.2% as a result of a rise in time charter activity. The $6.7 million increase in vessels' operating expenses was primarily due to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
Drydocking costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, one suezmax tanker and one supramax drybulk carrier underwent drydocking while in the same period of last year two tanker vessels underwent drydocking.
General and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $3.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively. This change is mainly attributed to the decrease in stock-based compensation costs.
Depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $18.3 million, a $5.8 million increase from $12.5 million for the same period of last year, due to the increase in the average number of our vessels.
Other operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.9 million and related to the accrued income of an insurance claim in connection with dry-docking repairs undertaken in prior years that is expected to be collected within 2025. Other operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.9 million and related to the collection of an insurance claim in connection with repairs undertaken in prior years.
Interest and finance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $2.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The $2.3 million of costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 relate mainly to accrued interest expense – related party in connection with our last nine vessel acquisitions for which the purchase agreement allowed payment to take place within one year from the date of entry into the purchase agreement. For accounting purposes, the outstanding balances payable for these nine vessels had to be allocated between principal and imputed interest up until the time of payment, although no interest was contractually charged by the sellers. The final balances, which were repaid in full within the nine months of 2025, remained the same as the originally agreed purchase prices.
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $6.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The increase is mainly attributed to a higher amount of funds placed under time deposits.
Foreign exchange gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $4.6 million as compared to $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $4.0 million increase in foreign exchange gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is mainly attributed the strengthening of the euro currency against the dollar at the end of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the respective currency values at the end the same period of last year.
As a result of the above, the Company reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $35.0 million, compared to net income of $46.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The weighted average number of shares outstanding, basic, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 33.3 million.

Adjusted Net Income was $37.4 million corresponding to an Adjusted EPS, basic, of $1.04 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to adjusted net income of $50.6 million, or $1.61 Adjusted EPS, basic, for the same period of last year.
EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $49.7 million while Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $52.0 million. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income are set forth below.

(1)	Earliest date charters could expire.
(2)	We have contracted to acquire three Japanese-built drybulk carriers, with a total capacity of approximately 164,400 dwt and an average age of approximately 12.5 years, which are expected to be delivered to us between the first quarter of 2026 and August 2026.

CEO Harry Vafias Commented

The full integration of our recently delivered seven drybulk vessels, increasing our fleet to 19 ships and soon to 22 ships, enhanced within Q3 25 our income and profitability stemming from core operations. Market rates for both tanker and drybulk markets are solid and this seems likely to hold in the upcoming quarters. With our debt free balance sheet, our cash base that is currently about $172 million and our focus on quality built Japanese and Korean ships, we aim for an even better performance in the fourth quarter of 2025.

2) Total calendar days for fleet are the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.

3) Total voyage days for fleet reflect the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period net of off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.

4) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.

5) Total charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on time or bareboat charters for the relevant period.

6) Total spot market charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on spot market charters for the relevant period.

7) Fleet operational utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels generated revenue, and is determined by dividing voyage days excluding idle days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:

Adjusted net income represents net income before net loss on sale of vessel and share based compensation. EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, net loss on sale of vessel and share based compensation.

Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of shares. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in the shipping or other industries. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS, 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.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are included herein because they are a basis, upon which we and our investors assess our financial performance. They allow us to present our performance from period to period on a comparable basis and provide investors with a means of better evaluating and understanding our operating performance.
