Castor Maritime Inc. (“Castor”) was incorporated in September 2017 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Castor and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Castor is a diversified global shipping and energy company, with activities directly and indirectly in investment and asset management, vessel ownership, technical and commercial ship management and energy infrastructure projects. On December 21, 2018, Castor’s common shares, par value $0.001 (the “common shares”) began trading on the Euronext NOTC, under the symbol “CASTOR” and, on February 11, 2019, they began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “CTRM”. As of June 30, 2025, Castor was controlled by Thalassa Investment Co. S.A. (“Thalassa”) by virtue of its ownership of 100% of the Series B preferred shares of Castor and, as a result, Thalassa controlled the outcome of matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote. Thalassa is affiliated with Petros Panagiotidis, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
On March 27, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on its issued and outstanding common shares. All share and per share amounts disclosed in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively for the period ended June 30, 2024.
With effect from July 1, 2022, Castor Ships S.A., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (“Castor Ships”), a related party controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Petros Panagiotidis, manages the Company’s business overall. Prior to this date, Castor Ships provided only commercial ship management and administrative services to the Company (see also Note 3).
Pavimar S.A. (“Pavimar”), a related party controlled by Ismini Panagiotidis, the sister of the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Petros Panagiotidis, provided technical, crew and operational management services to the Company through the first half of 2022. With effect from July 1, 2022, Pavimar co-managed with Castor Ships the technical management of the Company’s dry bulk vessels, except for the M/V Magic Celeste, M/V Magic Ariel and M/V Magic Starlight, for which Castor Ships has provided the technical management since August 16, 2024, October 9, 2024 and December 18, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, all ship management agreements between the Company and Pavimar have been terminated. Castor Ships now exclusively provides the commercial and technical management of the Company’s entire fleet, while certain aspects of the management of a number of the Company’s vessels are subcontracted to related or third-party managers.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company owned a diversified fleet of 9 vessels, with a combined carrying capacity of 0.7 million dwt, consisting of four Kamsarmax, three Panamax and one Ultramax dry bulk vessels, as well as one 1,850 TEU containership.
On December 12, 2024, Castor, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a share purchase agreement, pursuant to which Castor agreed to acquire from MPC Münchmeyer Petersen & Co. GmbH (“MPC Holding”), subject to certain terms and conditions, 26,116,378 shares of common stock of MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG (“MPC Capital”), representing 74.09% of MPC Capital’s outstanding common stock, for a cash price of €7.00 per share, equivalent to aggregate consideration of €182.8 million (approximately $192.0 million at the time of the transaction), excluding transaction related costs. On December 16, 2024, the acquisition of the 26,116,378 shares of common stock of MPC Capital was completed. MPC Capital is an investment and asset manager specializing in infrastructure projects in the maritime and energy sectors. Partnering and co-investing with institutional investors, MPC Capital provides tailor-made investment solutions, project access, and integrated asset management expertise, including technical and commercial ship management. The transaction was financed with cash on hand and the proceeds of (i) a $100 million senior term loan facility between Toro Corp. (“Toro”) and Castor and (ii) the issuance of an additional 50,000 of Castor’s 5.00% Series D cumulative perpetual convertible preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Shares”) to Toro for an aggregate consideration of $50,000,000, which are discussed in Note 3(d) and (e).

| 1. | Basis of Presentation and General information (continued): |
|---|
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. They do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Accordingly, these statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 14, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies and<br> Recent Accounting Pronouncements: |
|---|
A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, apart from the following:
Revenue and expenses recognition
The Company currently generates its revenues from time charter contracts and pool arrangements. Revenues generated from pool arrangements are determined in accordance with the profit-sharing mechanism specified within each pool agreement (see below). The Company recognizes pool revenue based on quarterly reports from the pools which identify the number of days the vessel participated in the pool, the total pool points for the period, the total pool revenue for the period, and the calculated share of pool revenue for the vessel.
Revenues related to pool contracts
Pool revenue for each vessel is determined in accordance with the profit-sharing mechanism specified within each pool agreement. In particular, the pool managers aggregate the revenues and expenses of all of the pool participants and
distribute the net earnings to participants, as applicable:
| • | based on the pool points attributed to each vessel (which are determined by vessel attributes such as cargo carrying capacity, speed, fuel<br> consumption, and construction and other characteristics); or |
|---|---|
| • | by making adjustments to account for the cost of performance, the bunkering fees and the trading capabilities of each vessel and the number of days<br> the vessel participated in the pool in the period (excluding off-hire days). |
| --- | --- |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. This update provides guidance on identifying the accounting acquirer when a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business is acquired primarily through the exchange of equity interests. The standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-03 on its accounting and disclosures related to business combinations.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2025-05 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Property and equipment exclusively relates to two wind turbines, for which the fair value was determined as part of the pushdown accounting (refer to 2024 Annual Report). As EP Heringen is classified as held for sale, property and equipment is not depreciated. The change in the carrying amounts solely relates to foreign exchange translation.
In May 2022, EP Heringen entered into a credit facility with Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main. The nominal value of the credit facility at inception was 16.21 million Euro (USD 18.99 million) with a nominal fixed interest rate of 1.73% p.a. The repayment of the loan is allocated over quarterly installments ending in 2041. Furthermore, EP Heringen entered into a second credit facility in May 2022 for an amount of $2.02 million with Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main. The nominal fixed interest rate of this facility is 2.68%.
The Company re-assessed whether EP Heringen qualifies as a discontinued operation as defined by ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” and determined that EP Heringen does not meet the corresponding criteria. As a result, the goodwill previously included in assets held for sale in the amount of $3,238,569 and deferred tax liabilities included in liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale in the amount of $1,227,844 were re-classified as of January 1, 2025. See Note 9 for further information.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, pretax income in the amount of $353,353 from EP Heringen was included in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
During the reporting period, no gain or loss relating to the disposal group held for sale has been recognized in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Consistent with prior practices, the Company reviewed all its vessels for impairment, and none were found to be impaired at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025.

| 9. | Goodwill |
|---|
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the acquisition price of MPC Capital over the identifiable net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, knowledge base, continued innovation, and non-contractual relationships. Goodwill included in the MPC Capital segment constitutes a premium paid by the Company over the fair value of the net assets of MPC Capital, which is attributable to anticipated benefits from MPC Capital’s unique position as an asset management company. The goodwill is not tax deductible. Amortizable intangible assets comprise the brand with an estimated useful life of approximately 13 years, customer relationships with a weighted average useful life of approximately 25 years, order backlog with a weighted average useful life of approximately 6 years and a favorable contract with a weighted average useful life of approximately 5 years.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 are as follows.
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 / January 1, 2025 | $ | 17,932,243 |

All share and per share amounts, as well as the number of warrant shares eligible for purchase under the Company’s effective warrant schemes, in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares as of March 27, 2024, was decreased to 9,662,354 while the par value of the Company’s common shares remained unchanged to $0.001 per share.
Mezzanine equity:
5.00% SERIES D CUMULATIVE PERPETUAL CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES
On August 7, 2023, the Company agreed to issue 50,000 Series D Preferred Shares, having a stated value of $1,000 and par value of $0.001 per share, to Toro for aggregate consideration of $50.0 million in cash. On December 12, 2024, the Company agreed to issue an additional 50,000 Series D Preferred Shares for an aggregate consideration of $50.0 million in cash. Details of the Company’s Series D Preferred Shares are discussed in Note 14 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Annual Report.
The Company uses an effective interest rate of 10.24% over the expected life of the Series D Preferred Shares being nine years, which is the expected earliest redemption date. This is consistent with the interest method, taking into account the discount between the issuance price and liquidation preference and the stated dividends, including “step-up” amounts. The amount accreted in the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $1,451,187, and is presented as ‘Deemed dividend on Series D Preferred Shares’ in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
As of June 30, 2025, the net value of Mezzanine Equity amounted to $79,159,445, including the amount of $1,451,187 of deemed dividend on the Series D Preferred Shares in the six months ended June 30, 2025, and is separately presented as ‘Mezzanine Equity’ in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid to Toro a dividend amounting to $2,097,222 on the Series D Preferred Shares for the periods from October 15, 2024 to January 14, 2025 and from January 15, 2025 to April 14, 2025, and the accrued amount for the period from April 15, 2025 to June 30, 2025 (included in the dividend period ended July 14, 2025) amounted to $1,104,166.
Accumulated other comprehensive income
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) consists of foreign currency translation amounts that relate to accumulated foreign currency gains / losses as a result of translation the financial statements into US Dollars as the presentation currency. In addition, the AOCI includes the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument which will be reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests (NCI) represent ownership stakes in subsidiaries that are less than 100% owned. Changes in NCI during the reporting period are due to allocation of the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income between the parent company and the NCI.
During the six months ended, MPC Capital declared total dividends of $10,975,490. Of this amount, $8,127,292 \(representing Castor’s share in MPC Capital\) was paid to Castor and eliminated in consolidation. The remaining $2,848,198 was distributed to noncontrolling shareholders and is reflected as a reduction of noncontrolling interests in the unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and mezzanine equity.

| 14. | Financial Instruments and Fair<br> Value Disclosures: |
|---|
The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash at banks, trade accounts receivable, accrued charter revenue, investments in equity securities, equity investments, equity method investments, an investment in related party, derivative assets and amounts due from related party/(ies). The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to related party/(ies), derivative liabilities and long-term debt.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable trade, net, amounts due from/to related party/(ies), accrued charter revenue and accounts payable: The carrying values reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for those financial instruments are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to their short-term maturity nature. Cash and cash equivalents, are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short term maturities.
Investment in equity securities: The carrying value reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for this financial instrument represents its fair value and is considered Level 1 item of the fair value hierarchy as it is determined though quoted prices in an active market.
Equity investments: The Company, though its majority owned subsidiary MPC Capital, holds minority interests in entities that invest in vessels and renewable energy assets. If a quoted market price in active market is not available, generally, net asset value (“NAV”) is applied if applicable as permitted under ASC 820. The NAV is determined based on third-party valuations of the underlying assets. These valuations typically employ income-based and market-based approaches, depending on the asset type. These investments are generally illiquid and the Company has no redemption rights. A sale of the investments is considered unlikely. While there is no active market for the Company’s ownership interests and NAV may not be immediately realizable through sale of the shares, it is expected that the proceeds from the eventual sale of the underlying assets held by the investee entities will approximate the NAV attributed to the Company’s ownership interest. Given the absence of changes in market conditions or other relevant factors, the fair value of the investment as of June 30, 2025, is considered to be equal to its carrying amount. No gains or losses were recognized during the period.
Long-term debt: The credit facility discussed in Note 11, has a recorded value which is a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to their variable interest rate and are thus considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy as EURIBOR and SOFR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans. Due to a variable interest rate, the Company is exposed to interest rate movements. However, expected future interest rates movement would not materially affect the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Investment in related party: Investments in related party is initially measured at fair value which is deemed to be the cost and subsequently assessed for the existence of any observable market for the Series A Preferred Shares and any observable price changes for identical or similar investments and the existence of any indications for impairment. As per the Company’s assessment no such case was identified as at June 30, 2025.

Derivative contracts – recurring measurements
The company enters in forward and options agreement to hedge against foreign currency risks. As of June 30, 2025, foreign currency derivatives can be analyzed as follows:
| Derivatives assets (current) | Derivatives liabilities (current) | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fair value | Nominal value | Fair value | Nominal value | |||||

| Total | $ | 1,748,191 | $ | 33,611,602 | $ | 871,779 | $ | 21,803,404 |
All of the derivative assets and liabilities are measured at fair value classified in Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Economic hedging refers to the use of derivatives to mitigate risk without applying hedge accounting. The amount reported in accumulated other comprehensive income at the reporting date will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions in which it places its deposits. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.

Various claims, lawsuits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is covered for liabilities associated with the vessels’ operations up to the customary limits as provided by Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs, members of the International Group of P&I Clubs.
(a) Commitments under long-term lease contracts
The following table sets forth the future minimum contracted lease payments to the Company (gross of charterers’ commissions), based on the Company’s vessels’ commitments to non-cancelable time charter contracts as of June 30, 2025. Non-cancelable time charter contracts include both fixed-rate time charters or charters linked to the Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”). For index linked contracts, contracted lease payments have been calculated using the BDI-linked rate as measured at the commencement date.

In addition, certain of the variable-rate contracts have the option at the Company’s option to convert to a fixed rate for a predetermined period, in such cases where lease payments have been converted to a fixed rate, the minimum contracted lease payments for this period are calculated using the agreed converted fixed rate. The calculation does not include any assumed off-hire days.

In addition, the Company has payment commitments of $2.6 million related to the disposal group held for sale for the use of land.
(b) Contingencies
The Company recognized further provisions in the amount of approximately $3.8 million for various circumstances involving uncertainty if it was probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations and the amount of the losses was reasonably estimable.
A provision of approximately $1.2 million and contingent liabilities of approximately $2.7 million were recognized for possible losses with respect to disputes including legal proceedings concerning potential prospectus errors for closed-end funds placed by MPC Capital in the past that could have causal effect on the individual investor’s decision. Contingencies are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.
| 17. | Earnings Per Common Share: |
|---|
Diluted earnings per common share, if applicable, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive instruments were exercised, resulting in the issuance of additional shares that would then share in the Company’s net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, the effect of the warrants outstanding during that period and as of that date, would be antidilutive, hence they were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per common share, the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding includes the conversion of outstanding Series D Preferred Shares (Note 13) calculated with the “if converted” method by using the average closing market price over the reporting period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024 and from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025. If there is a loss, diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS is computed. Thus, for the six months period ended June 30, 2025, the inclusion of the potential common shares from the conversion of outstanding Series D Preferred Shares (calculated with the “if converted” method) in diluted EPS would have an antidilutive effect, and therefore basic EPS and diluted EPS are the same.

From time to time, the Company’s dry bulk vessels are fixed on period charter contracts with the rate of daily hire linked to the average of the time charter routes comprising the respective indices for dry bulk vessels of the Baltic Exchange. Such contracts also carry an option for the Company to convert the index-linked rate to a fixed rate for a minimum period of three months and up to the maximum remaining duration of the charter contract, according to the average of the forward freight agreement curve of the respective Baltic index for the desired period, at the time of conversion. The index-linked contracts with conversion clause provide flexibility and allow the Company to either enjoy exposure in the spot market, when the rate is floating, or to secure foreseeable cash flow when the rate has been converted to fixed over a certain period.
The Company employs certain of its vessels in pools. The main objective of pools is to enter into arrangements for the employment and operation of the pool vessels, so as to secure for the pool participants the highest commercially available earnings per vessel on the basis of pooling the revenue and expenses of the pool vessels and dividing it between the pool participants based on the terms of the pool agreement. The Company typically enters into pool arrangements for a minimum period of six months, subject to certain rights of suspension and/or early termination.

Uncertain Tax Positions
The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded in the Company´s consolidated financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge from the tax authorities.
The Company files income tax returns in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Panama and Colombia and is subject to examinations by tax authorities. The Company believes that its income tax reserves are adequately maintained. However, the final determination of the Company tax returns, if audited, is uncertain and therefore there is a possibility for a change of the Company`s estimate in the future. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2025, and there were no changes in the reporting period. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes within the provision for income taxes.

The options were granted to management and key employees of MPC Capital in 2024 and are subject to market, performance and a service condition of four years. The remaining term of the options granted is derived from the contractual terms and the grant date of the options. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on zero-coupon bond risk-free rates generated using the Svensson model and yield curve data provided by the German Central Bank in effect at the time of grant. The grant-date fair value was $2.25 per option and was determined using the Black-Scholes model.

As of December 31, 2024, there was $798,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the employee share option agreements of MPC Capital. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years. For the six months period ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized expenses in the amount of $115,044 in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income and also has affected noncontrolling interests in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. No options were exercised, and no cash was paid out during the reporting period.
| 24. | Segment Information: |
|---|
Following the acquisition of the MPC Capital on December 16, 2024, the Company determined that it operated in three reportable segments: (i) the dry bulk segment (ii) the containership segment and (iii) the asset management segment. These reportable segments reflect the Company’s internal organization and the way its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, reviews and analyzes the operating results and allocates capital within the Company. The CODM assesses segment performance using key financial measures, including revenues, operating expenses, segment operating income and net income. These metrics help the CODM assess segment profitability, optimize fleet deployment, control costs and determine capital allocation. Based on these segment performance trends, the CODM makes resource allocation decisions such as adjusting asset acquisition strategies, adjusting chartering strategies, prioritizing fleet expansion or disposals, and optimizing cost efficiencies to enhance profitability and overall segment performance. Further, the transport of dry bulk cargoes and containerized cargoes has different characteristics and the nature of trade, trading routes, charterers and cargo handling of differ in important respects. MPC Capital provides asset management services and it does not have similar economic characteristics to the other two segments. The Company does not disclose geographic information relating to its dry bulk and container ship segments because when it charters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free, subject to certain exemptions, to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, the disclosure of geographic information is impracticable. For the asset management disclosure of geographic information refer to Note 18.

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 14, 2025. For additional information relating to our management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations, please see our 2024 Annual Report. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms and expressions used herein have the same meanings ascribed to them in the 2024 Annual Report.
Business Overview and Fleet Information
We are a diversified global shipping and energy company that was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands in September 2017, with activities directly and indirectly in asset management, vessel ownership, technical and commercial ship management and energy infrastructure projects.
We currently operate a fleet consisting of eight dry bulk carriers that engage in the worldwide transportation of commodities such as iron ore, coal, soybeans etc., with an aggregate cargo carrying capacity of 0.6 million dwt and an average age of 12.2 years and one containership vessel with an aggregate cargo carrying capacity of 0.03 million dwt and an age of 17.2 years (together, our “Fleet”). The average age of our entire Fleet is 12.8 years as of October 1, 2025. Our management reviews and analyzes operating results for our business over three reportable segments, (i) the Dry Bulk Segment, (ii) the Containership Segment and (iii) the Asset Management Segment.
Our dry bulk and containership fleets are currently contracted to operate in a mix of pool and time charters. Our commercial strategy primarily focuses on deploying our Fleet under a mix of period time charters, trip time charters and pool arrangements according to our assessment of market conditions. Our aim is to periodically adjust the mix of these charters to take advantage of the relatively stable cash flows and high utilization rates associated with period time charters, or to take advantage of high utilization rates with exposure to attractive charter rates during periods of strong charter market conditions when employing our vessels in pools.
Through our majority-owned subsidiary, MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG (“MPC Capital”), which we acquired on December 16, 2024, we receive management fees in return for managing assets in the shipping and energy infrastructure segments. The level of these management fees primarily reflects the volume of assets under management. In the shipping sector, these fees mainly relate to commercial ship management (commission income on charter revenues), technical ship management (flat rate management fees) and other services (flat rate management fees). Management fees for technical ship management and other services are provided by joint ventures in which MPC Capital is a 50% shareholder. Companies in which MPC Capital is a 50% shareholder are accounted for using the equity method. In the energy sector, management fees include asset management fees (flat rate management fees). In addition, we may receive one-off and, to some extent, performance-related transaction fees on the acquisition and sale of assets, which are primarily linked to the value of the assets acquired or sold. We generate other operating income or income from equity investments through co-investments.
With effect from July 1, 2022, our vessels are technically and commercially managed by Castor Ships S.A. (“Castor Ships”). As of June 30, 2025, Castor Ships exclusively provides the commercial and technical management of our entire fleet, while certain aspects of the management of a number of our vessels are subcontracted to related and unrelated third-party managers.
The following table summarizes key information about our Fleet as of the date of this report:

We intend to continuously explore the market in order to identify further potential acquisition targets which will help us modernize our Fleet and develop our business. Our acquisition strategy has so far focused on secondhand dry bulk vessels and, recently, containerships, though we may acquire vessels in other sizes, age and/or sectors which we believe offer attractive investment opportunities, subject to the parameters set out in certain resolutions passed by our board of directors in connection with the spin-off of our former tanker vessel business completed on March 7, 2023 (the “Spin-Off”). We may also opportunistically dispose of vessels and may engage in such acquisitions and disposals at any time and from time to time.
Recent Developments
Please refer to Note 25 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere herein, for developments that took place after June 30, 2025.
Operating results
Important Measures and Definitions for Analyzing Results of Operations
Our management uses the following metrics to evaluate our operating results, including the operating results of our segments, and to allocate capital accordingly:
2
Total vessel revenues. Total vessel revenues are currently generated from time charters and pool agreements with unaffiliated third parties, though vessels have and may be employed under voyage charters in the future. Vessels operating on fixed time charters for a certain period provide more predictable cash flow over that period. Total vessel revenues are affected by the number of vessels in our fleet, hire rates and the number of days a vessel operates which, in turn, are affected by several factors, including the amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels, the amount of time that our vessels spend in dry dock undergoing repairs, maintenance and upgrade work, the age, condition and specifications of our vessels, and levels of supply and demand in the seaborne transportation market. Total vessel revenues are also affected by our commercial strategy related to the employment mix of our fleet between vessels on time charters and vessels in pools.
For further discussion of vessel revenues, please refer to Note 18 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Revenues from services. We generate revenues from services through the following streams: (i) transaction services, (ii) management services for companies and assets, and (iii) ship management services. For a breakdown of revenue from services for the six months ended June 30, 2025, please refer to Note 18(b) to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. The Company provides transaction-related services in connection with the acquisition, sale or development of assets such as vessels or renewable energy assets. These services are typically success-based and remunerated through transaction fees that are contingent upon the successful closing of the underlying transaction. Additionally, the Company provides asset management services, including commercial and technical ship management services. Commercial ship management services include activities such as chartering, voyage coordination, and related support services, while technical ship management services include vessel maintenance, repairs, and regulatory compliance services.
Voyage expenses. Our voyage expenses primarily consist of brokerage commissions paid in connection with the chartering of our vessels. Under a time charter, the charterer pays substantially all the vessel voyage related expenses. However, we may incur voyage related expenses from time to time, such as for bunkers, when positioning or repositioning vessels before or after the period of a time charter, during periods of commercial waiting time or while off-hire during dry docking or due to other unforeseen circumstances. Gain/loss on bunkers may also arise where the cost of the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer is greater or less than the cost of the bunker fuel acquired. Under pooling arrangements, voyage expenses are borne by the pool operator.
Operating expenses. We are responsible for vessel operating costs, which include crewing, expenses for repairs and maintenance, the cost of insurance, tonnage taxes, the cost of spares and consumable stores, lubricating oils costs, communication expenses, and other expenses. Expenses for repairs and maintenance tend to fluctuate from period to period because most repairs and maintenance typically occur during periodic dry-docking. Our ability to control our vessels’ operating expenses also affects our financial results.
Cost of revenue from services. Cost of revenue from services comprises expenses for services purchased from third party providers and employee expenses which are directly attributable to the operating business activities.
Management fees. Management fees include fees paid to related parties providing certain ship management services to our fleet pursuant to the ship management agreements.
Off-hire. The period a vessel in our fleet is unable to perform the services for which it is required under a charter for reasons such as scheduled repairs, vessel upgrades, dry-dockings or special or intermediate surveys or other unforeseen events.
3
Dry-docking/Special Surveys. We periodically dry-dock and/or perform special surveys on our vessels for inspection, repairs and maintenance and any modifications required to comply with industry certification or governmental requirements. Our ability to control our dry-docking and special survey expenses and our ability to complete our scheduled dry-dockings and/or special surveys on time also affects our financial results. Dry-docking and special survey costs are accounted under the deferral method whereby the actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next survey is scheduled to become due.
Ownership Days. Ownership Days are the total number of calendar days in a period during which we owned a vessel. Ownership Days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and determine both the level of revenues and expenses recorded during that specific period.
Available Days. Available Days are the Ownership Days in a period less the aggregate number of days our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs, dry-dockings or special or intermediate surveys. The shipping industry uses Available Days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels are available to generate revenues. Our calculation of Available Days may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
Operating Days. Operating Days are the Available Days in a period after subtracting unscheduled off-hire days and idle days.
Fleet Utilization. Fleet Utilization is calculated by dividing the Operating Days during a period by the number of Available Days during that period. Fleet Utilization is used to measure a company’s ability to efficiently find suitable employment for its vessels.
Daily Time Charter Equivalent Rate (“Daily TCE Rate”). See Appendix A for a description of the Daily TCE Rate.
Principal factors impacting our business, results of operations and financial condition
Our results of operations are affected by numerous factors. The principal factors that have impacted the business during the fiscal periods presented in the following discussion and analysis and that are likely to continue to impact our business are the following:

Employment and operation of our Fleet
Another factor that impacts our profitability is the employment and operation of our Fleet. The profitable employment of our Fleet is highly dependent on the levels of demand and supply in the shipping industries in which we operate, our commercial strategy including the decisions regarding the employment mix of our Fleet, as well as our managers’ ability to leverage our relationships with existing or potential customers. The effective operation of our Fleet mainly requires regular maintenance and repair, effective crew selection and training, ongoing supply of our Fleet with the spares and the stores that it requires, contingency response planning, auditing of our vessels’ onboard safety procedures, arrangements for our vessels’ insurance, chartering of the vessels, training of onboard and on-shore personnel with respect to the vessels’ security and security response plans (ISPS), obtaining of ISM certifications, compliance with environmental regulations and standards, and performing the necessary audit for the vessels within the six months of taking over a vessel and the ongoing performance monitoring of the vessels.
Financial, general and administrative management
The management of financial, general and administrative elements involved in the conduct of our business and ownership of our vessels requires us to manage our financial resources, which includes managing banking relationships, administrating our bank accounts, managing our accounting system, records and financial reporting, monitoring and ensuring compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements affecting our business and assets and managing our relationships with our service providers and customers.
See also “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report. Because many of the foregoing factors are beyond our control and certain of these factors have historically been volatile, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance and it is difficult to predict future performance with any degree of certainty.

Total vessel revenues – Total vessel revenues decreased to $21.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $36.7 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was driven by (a) the decrease in our Available Days from 2,517 days in the six months ended June 30, 2024, to 1,893 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, following the sale of the (i) M/V Ariana A on January 22, 2025, (ii) M/V Magic Eclipse on March 24, 2025, (iii) M/V Magic Callisto on April 28, 2025, (iv) M/V
Gabriela A on May 7, 2025, \(v\) M/V Magic Moon on January 16, 2024, \(vi\) M/V Magic Orion on March 22, 2024, \(vii\) M/V
Magic Nova on March 11, 2024, \(viii\) M/V Magic Nebula on April 18, 2024, \(ix\) M/V Magic Venus on May 10, 2024, \(x\) M/V
Magic Vela on May 23, 2024, and \(xi\) M/V Magic Horizon on May 28, 2024, as partially offset by the acquisition of M/V Magic Celeste on August 16, 2024 and
M/V Magic Ariel on October 9, 2024 and \(b\) the decrease in prevailing charter rates of our dry bulk vessels. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our Fleet earned on average a Daily TCE Rate of
$10,410, compared to an average Daily TCE Rate of $13,769 earned during the same period in 2024.^^ Daily TCE Rate is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP. Please
refer to Appendix A for the definition and reconciliation of this measure to Total vessel revenues, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Revenue from services for the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $16.8 million and relates to revenue earned from our subsidiary acquired in late 2024, MPC Capital. Revenue from services is generated through the following streams: (i) transaction services, (ii) management services for companies and assets, and (iii) ship management services.
Voyage expenses – Voyage expenses decreased by $0.2 million, to $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $2.0 million in the corresponding period of 2024. This decrease is primarily associated with the decrease of brokerage commissions due to the decrease in our Available Days and prevailing charter rates of our dry bulk vessels, as partially offset by an increase in the brokerage commission to a related party and an increase in the overall bunker consumption of the Fleet.
Vessel operating expenses – The decrease in operating expenses by $4.5 million to $10.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $14.7 million in the same period of 2024 mainly reflects the decrease in the Ownership Days of our Fleet to 1,977 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 2,517 days in the same period in 2024.
Cost of revenue from services – Cost of revenue from services for the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $10.5 million and relates to expenses for purchased services from third party providers and employee expenses from MPC Capital.
Management fees – Management fees in the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $2.3 million, whereas, in the same period of 2024, management fees totaled $2.5 million. This decrease in management fees is due to the net decrease in the total number of Ownership Days following the sales and acquisitions of the vessels mentioned above. This decrease was partially offset by the adjustment of management fees under the terms of the Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement effected on July 1, 2024, from $986 per vessel per day to $1,017 per vessel per day. For further details on our management arrangements, see “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions— Management, Commercial and Administrative Services” in our 2024 Annual Report.
Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation and amortization expenses are comprised of vessels’ depreciation, the amortization of vessels’ capitalized dry-dock costs, property and equipment depreciation and intangible assets amortization. Depreciation expenses decreased to $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $6.6 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease by $1.6 million reflects mainly the net decrease in the Ownership Days of our Fleet following the sales and acquisitions of vessels discussed above, as well as the effect of classifying those vessels as “held for sale” on the date of the agreements for sale (during 2024), as depreciation was not recorded during the period in which these vessels were classified as held for sale. Dry-dock and special survey amortization charges amounted to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a charge of $0.8 million in the respective period of 2024. This variation in dry-dock amortization charges primarily resulted from the decrease in aggregate amortization days, mainly as a result of the sale of vessels mentioned above as partially offset by the amortization related to the vessels M/V Magic P, M/V Magic Starlight and M/V Magic Ariel, which initiated and completed their scheduled dry-dock during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Depreciation and amortization expenses for our asset management segment amounted to $1.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, comprising property and equipment depreciation and intangible assets amortization.
General and administrative expenses – General and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $9.5 million, whereas, in the same period of 2024, general and administrative expenses totaled $3.4 million. This increase mainly reflects the increase in professional fees and other expenses by $2.1 million, increase in audit fees by $0.8 million personnel expenses by $2.1 million and office and IT expenses (including rent) by $0.8 million following the acquisition of MPC Capital.
8
Loss on vessel held for sale – Loss on vessels held for sale in the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $5.6 million, representing the expected loss during the next twelve-month period (as assessed at the MOA date) from the sale of the dry bulk vessel M/V Magic Callisto (delivered to its new owners on April 28, 2025). No such loss was recorded for the six month period ended June 30, 2024.
Net gain/(loss) on sale of vessels – Loss on sale of vessels in the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $2.0 million following the sales of the: (i) M/V Magic Eclipse, which we concluded on March 24, 2025, pursuant to an agreement dated March 6, 2025, for cash consideration of $13.5 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $13.1 million and a net loss on the sale of $1.9 million; (ii) M/V Gabriela A, which we concluded on May 7, 2025, pursuant to an agreement dated December 4, 2024, for cash consideration of $19.3 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $18.6 million and a net gain on the sale of $0.2 million; (iii) M/V Ariana A, which we concluded on January 22 7, 2025, pursuant to an agreement dated November 13, 2024, for cash consideration of $16.5 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $16.1 million and a net loss on the sale of $0.1 million; and (iv) M/V Magic Callisto, which we concluded on April 28, 2025, pursuant to an agreement dated March 11, 2025, for cash consideration of $14.5 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $14.1 million and a net loss on the sale of $0.1 million. Gain on sale of vessels in the six months ended June 30, 2024, amounted to $19.3 million after the following sales of vessels: (i) the sale of the M/V Magic Moon, which we concluded on January 16, 2024, pursuant to an agreement dated November 10, 2023, for cash consideration of $11.8 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $11.2 million and a net gain on the sale of $2.4 million; (ii) the sale of the M/V Magic Nova, which we concluded on March 11, 2024, pursuant to an agreement dated January 19, 2024 for cash consideration of $16.1 million and resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $15.9 million and a net gain on the sale of $4.1 million; (iii) the sale of the M/V Magic Orion, which we concluded on March 22, 2024, pursuant to an agreement dated December 7, 2023 for cash consideration of $17.4 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $16.8 million and a net gain on the sale of $1.4 million; (iv) the sale of the M/V Magic Nebula, which we concluded on April 18, 2024, pursuant to an agreement dated February 15, 2024 for cash consideration of $16.2 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $15.6 million and a net gain on the sale of $1.8 million; (v) the sale of the M/V Magic Venus, which we concluded on May 10, 2024, pursuant to an agreement dated December 21, 2023 for cash consideration of $17.5 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $17.2 million and a net gain on the sale of $3.2 million; (vi) the sale of the M/V Magic Vela, which we concluded on May 23, 2024,pursuant to an agreement dated May 1, 2024 for cash consideration of $16.4 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $15.7 million and a net gain on the sale of $2.0 million; and (vii) the sale of the M/V Magic Horizon, which we concluded on May 28, 2024, pursuant to an agreement dated January 19, 2024 for cash consideration of $15.8 million that resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $15.5 million and a net gain on the sale of $4.4 million.
Gain from a claim – On May 28, 2024, the Company collected the amount of $1,411,356 (including the deposit amount of $1,395,000 and gross interest earned on the deposit) in connection with a claim related to the M/V Magic Moon. Following the provisions of ASC 450-30-25-1, the Company recorded this gain in its financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. Please also refer to the 2024 Annual Report.
Net gain on disposal of assets – Net gain on disposal of assets in the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $0.4 million following the sale of an asset management contract.
Net gain from equity method investments – Income/(loss) from equity method investments for the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $0.4 million representing our share in jointly owned companies or equity method investments (all of which relate to the asset management segment).
Net loss from equity method investments at fair value – Net loss from equity method investments measured at fair value in the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $24.8 million, resulting from the revaluation of such investments. These represent our share in MPC Container Ships ASA (“MPCC”) and MPC Energy Solutions N.V for which we have elected the fair value option.
Interest and finance costs, net – During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred net interest costs and finance costs amounting to $2.2 million compared to $0.7 million during the same period in 2024.

Total vessel revenues – Total vessel revenues for our dry bulk fleet decreased to $15.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $30.2 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was driven (a) by the decrease in our Available Days from 2,153 days in the six months ended June 30, 2024, to 1,564 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, following the sale of the (i) M/V Magic Eclipse on March 24, 2025, (ii) M/V Magic Callisto on April 28, 2025, (iii) M/V Magic Moon on January 16, 2024, (iv) M/V Magic Orion on March 22, 2024, (v) M/V Magic Nova on March 11, 2024, (vi) M/V Magic Nebula on April 18, 2024, (vii) M/V Magic Venus on May 10, 2024, (viii) M/V Magic Vela on May 23, 2024, and (ix) M/V Magic Horizon on May 28, 2024, as partially offset by the acquisition of M/V Magic Celeste on August 16, 2024 and M/V Magic Ariel on October 9, 2024 and (b) the decrease in prevailing charter rates of our dry bulk vessels. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our dry bulk fleet earned on average a Daily TCE Rate of $8,933 compared to an average Daily TCE Rate of $13,257 earned during the same period in 2024. Daily TCE Rate is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP. Please refer to Appendix A for the definition and reconciliation of this measure to Total vessel revenues, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Voyage expenses – Voyage expenses decreased to $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.7 million in the corresponding period of 2024. This decrease in voyage expenses is mainly associated with the decrease in Available Days.
Vessel operating expenses – The decrease in operating expenses for our dry bulk fleet by $4.0 million, to $8.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $12.4 million in the same period of 2024, mainly reflects the net decrease in Ownership Days due to the sales and acquisitions of the vessels mentioned above.
Management fees – Management fees in the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $2.0 million, whereas, in the same period of 2024, management fees totaled $2.1 million. This decrease in management fees is due to the net decrease in the total number of Ownership Days following the sales and acquisitions of the dry bulk vessels mentioned above. This decrease was partially offset by the adjustments of management fees under the terms of the Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement effected on July 1, 2024.
Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation expenses for our dry bulk fleet in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $4.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The increase reflects (i) the net decrease in the Ownership Days of our dry bulk segment days to 1,648 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 2,153 days in the same period in 2024, due to the sale and acquisition of vessels described above and (ii) the effect of classifying those vessels as “held for sale” on the date of the agreements for sale (during 2024), as depreciation was not recorded during the period in which these vessels were classified as held for sale. Dry-dock and special survey amortization charges amounted to $0.5 million in both the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The decrease in aggregate amortization days, mainly as a result of the sale of vessels mentioned above, was partially offset by the amortization related to the vessels M/V Magic P, M/V Magic Starlight and M/V Magic Ariel, which initiated and completed their scheduled dry-dock during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Total vessel revenues – Total vessel revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased to $6.2 million from $6.4 million in the same period of 2024. This variation was mainly driven by the decrease in our Available Days from 364 days in the six months ended June 30, 2024, to 329 days in the six months ended June 30, 2025, following the sale of two container vessels during the first and second quarters of 2025. The above decrease was partially offset by the increase of the Daily TCE Rate earned by our container vessels during the comparative periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our containerships earned an average Daily TCE Rate of $17,430 compared to an average Daily TCE Rate of $16,797 earned in the same period of 2024. Daily TCE Rate is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP. Please refer to Appendix A for the definition and reconciliation of this measure to Total vessel revenues, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. During the period in which we owned them, both of our containerships were engaged in period time charters.
Voyage expenses – Voyage expenses for our containership segment increased to $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.3 million in the same period of 2024, mainly reflecting the increase in bunker expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Vessel operating expenses – Operating expenses for our containership segment decreased to $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $2.3 million in the same period of 2024, mainly reflecting the decrease of the Ownership Days of our containership vessels.
Management fees – Management fees for our containership segment amounted to $0.3 million, whereas in the same period of 2024, management fees totaled $0.4 million. This decrease in management fees is due to the decrease in the total number of Ownership Days, partly offset by the adjustment of management fees under the terms of the Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement effective July 1, 2024.
12
Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation expenses for our containership segment amounted to $0.7 million in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared to $2.6 million in the respective period of 2024. The decrease is attributable to (i) the decrease in Ownership Days following the sale of the two containership vessels and (ii) the effect of classifying those vessels as “held for sale” on the date of the agreements for sale (during 2024), as depreciation was not recorded during the period in which these vessels were classified as held for sale. Dry-dock amortization charges were nil during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.2 million in the respective period of 2024, due to the sale of M/V Ariana A, which had been classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024 and amortization was not recorded up to its sale on January 22, 2025.
Net gain / (loss) on sale of vessel – Refer to discussion under “Consolidated Results of Operations” above for details on the sale of the M/V Gabriela A and M/V Ariana A.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We operate in a capital-intensive industry, and we expect to finance the purchase of additional vessels and other capital expenditures and entering into new co-investments through a combination of proceeds from equity offerings, borrowings in debt transactions and cash generated from operations. Our liquidity requirements relate to servicing the principal and interest on our debt, funding capital expenditures and working capital (which includes maintaining the quality of our vessels and complying with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations). In accordance with our business strategy, other liquidity needs may relate to funding potential investments in additional vessels or businesses and maintaining cash reserves to hedge against fluctuations in operating cash flows. Our funding and treasury activities are intended to maximize investment returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $44.8 million and $87.9 million, respectively. No restricted cash was held during either period. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held in U.S. dollars.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $5.3 million of gross indebtedness outstanding under our debt agreements. The term loan is unsecured and is not subject to any covenants.
Working capital is equal to current assets minus current liabilities. As of June 30, 2025, we had a working capital surplus of $125.3 million as compared to a working capital surplus of $189.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
We believe that our current sources of funds and those that we anticipate to internally generate for a period of at least the next twelve months from June 30, 2025 will be sufficient to fund the operations of our Fleet, meet our working capital and capital expenditures requirements and service the principal and interest on our existing debt for that period.
Our medium- and long-term liquidity requirements relate to the funding of cash dividends on our Series D Preferred Shares, as well as cash dividends to noncontrolling interests from our majority-owned subsidiaries, when declared, and expenditures relating to the operation and maintenance of our vessels and entering into new co-investments. Sources of funding for our medium- and long-term liquidity requirements are expected to be funded through a combination of existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations or new debt financing, if required, and proceeds from equity offerings to the extent available and permitted.
From time to time, we make capital expenditures in connection with vessel acquisitions and vessels upgrades and improvements (either for the purpose of meeting regulatory or legal requirements or for the purpose of complying with requirements imposed by classification societies), which we finance and expect to continue to finance with cash from operations, debt financing and equity issuances. We may also pursue future investments, including strategic acquisitions, or participate in co-investment arrangements with third parties, which we expect to finance through a combination of internally generated funds, borrowings under existing or new credit facilities, and potential equity or debt issuances. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, we did not have any commitments for capital expenditures related to vessel acquisitions.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. For more details on our Critical Accounting Estimates, please read “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—E. Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2024 Annual Report. For a description of our significant accounting policies, please read Note 2 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, “Item 18. Financial Statements” in our 2024 Annual Report and more precisely “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report.

APPENDIX A
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Daily TCE Rate. The Daily Time Charter Equivalent Rate (“Daily TCE Rate”) is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. The Daily TCE Rate is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP (i.e., it is a non-GAAP measure) and should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We calculate Daily TCE Rate by dividing total revenues (time charter and/or voyage charter revenues, and/or pool revenues, net of charterers’ commissions), less voyage expenses, by the number of Available Days during that period. Under a time charter, the charterer pays substantially all the vessel voyage related expenses. However, we may incur voyage related expenses when positioning or repositioning vessels before or after the period of a time or other charter, during periods of commercial waiting time or while off-hire during dry docking. Under voyage charters, the majority of voyage expenses are generally borne by us whereas for vessels in a pool, such expenses are borne by the pool operator. The Daily TCE Rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a company’s performance and, management believes that the Daily TCE Rate provides meaningful information to our investors since it compares daily net earnings generated by our vessels irrespective of the mix of charter types (i.e., time charter, voyage charter or other) under which our vessels are employed between the periods while it further assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in evaluating our financial performance. Our calculation of the Daily TCE Rates may be different from and may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the calculation of the Daily TCE Rate for our Fleet to Total vessel revenues for the periods presented (amounts in U.S. dollars, except for Available Days):
