Earnings Commentary:
Fourth Quarter ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, Results
Total vessel revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025, decreased to $13.3 million from $15.0 million in the same period of 2024. This variation was mainly driven by the decrease in our Available Days (defined below), from 1,180 days in the three months ended December 31, 2024 to 828 days in the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a 29.8% decrease, following the sale of two dry bulk vessels and two containership vessels in the first and second quarters of 2025. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in prevailing charter rates of our vessels.
Revenue from services for the three months ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $9.2 million and relates to revenue earned from our subsidiary acquired in late 2024, MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG (“MPC Capital”). For the period from its acquisition on December 16, 2024, through December 31, 2024, MPC Capital contributed $1.2 million in revenue from services. Revenue from services is generated through the following streams: (i) transaction services and (ii) management services. Management services may be further subdivided into ongoing management services for investment structures and assets, and ship management services.
There was an increase in voyage expenses to $1.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025, from $1.2 million in the same period of 2024, which was mainly associated with the increase in port and other expenses, partially offset by a decrease in brokerage commissions mainly due to the decrease in the revenue of our fleet.
Vessel operating expenses decreased by $1.8 million to $4.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025, from $6.3 million in the same period of 2024, mainly reflecting the net decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet to 829 days in the three months ended December 31, 2025, from 1,186 days in the same period in 2024.
Cost of revenue from services for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $6.1 million and relates to expenses for purchased services from third party providers as well as employee and other operating expenses of our subsidiary, MPC Capital. Cost of revenue from services amounted to $1.1 million for the period from December 16, 2024 to December 31, 2024.
Management fees in the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $0.9 million, whereas in the same period of 2024, management fees totaled $1.3 million. This decrease in management fees is due to the net decrease in the total number of Ownership Days for which our managers charge us a daily management fee following the sales and acquisitions of vessels mentioned above, partly offset by a management fee adjustment for inflation under our Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement with effect from July 1, 2025.
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 $2.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025, from $3.6 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease by $1.3 million reflects mainly the decrease in the Ownership Days of our fleet following the sales of vessels discussed above. Dry-dock and special survey amortization charges amounted to $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to a charge of $0.3 million in the respective period of 2024. This variation in dry-dock amortization charges reflects mainly the increase in aggregate amortization days resulting from the increase in the number of dry docks that our vessels underwent through the year ended December 31, 2025. More specifically, M/V Magic Starlight and M/V Magic Ariel initiated and completed their scheduled dry-dock during the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and M/V Magic Celeste initiated and completed its scheduled dry-dock during the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Further to the above, depreciation and amortization expenses for our asset management segment amounted to $2.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, comprising property, plant and equipment depreciation and intangible assets amortization.
General and administrative expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $5.3 million, whereas, in the same period of 2024, general and administrative expenses totaled $8.5 million, which included $7.0 million in MPC Capital acquisition-related costs that were incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was offset by an increase in professional fees and other expenses, audit fees and personnel expenses following the acquisition of MPC Capital.
Loss on vessels held for sale in the three months ended December 31, 2024, amounted to $3.6 million, representing the expected loss from the sale of the containership vessel M/V Ariana A during the following twelve-month period (as assessed at the memorandum of agreement date). We did not record any loss on any vessels held for sale during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a recovery of provision of doubtful accounts in the amount of $1.7 million and a provision of doubtful accounts of $4.8 thousand, respectively, reflecting reversals of previously recognized write-downs on receivables within the retail business of our asset management segment.
Net loss from equity method investments in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $0.1 million and $0, respectively, representing our share in jointly owned companies or equity method investments (all of which relate to the asset management segment). Results for the three months ended December 31, 2024 reflect data for the period from the acquisition of MPC Capital on December 16, 2024, through December 31, 2024.
Net gain from equity method investments measured at fair value in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $10.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, resulting from the revaluation of such investments. These represent our shares in MPC Container Ships ASA (“MPCC”) and MPC Energy Solutions N.V. for which we have elected the fair value option. Results for the three months ended December 31, 2024 reflect data for the period from the acquisition of MPC Capital on December 16, 2024, through December 31, 2024.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we incurred net interest and finance costs of $0.5 million, compared to $26.5 thousand during the same period in 2024. The variation is primarily due to a decrease in interest income earned from our time and cash deposits due to lower average cash balances during the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared with the same period of 2024.
Other income in the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $3.6 million and mainly includes (i) a gain of $0.8 million from our investments in listed equity securities, (ii) dividend income on equity securities of $0.8 million, (iii) dividend income of $0.4 million from our investment in 140,000 1.00% Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares of Toro (the “Toro Series A Preferred Shares”), (iv) other net amounting to $2.3 million due to recoveries of prior year allowances and reversals of provisions and (v) foreign exchange losses amounting to $0.7 million. Other (expenses)/income, net in the three months ended December 31, 2024, amounted to $(25.6) million, which includes a loss of $28.0 million from our investments in listed equity securities, partially offset by dividend income on equity securities of $2.0 million and dividend income of $0.4 million from our investment in the Toro Series A Preferred Shares. The loss of $28.0 million from our investments in listed equity securities includes an unrealized loss of $24.1 million, mostly related to revaluing our investments in listed equity securities at period end market rates.
Dividend income from equity method investments measured at fair value (related party) amounted to $3.6 million and $0 in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and includes dividend income from MPCC.
Recent Financial Developments Commentary:
Liquidity/Financing/Cash flow update
Our consolidated cash position (including our restricted cash) as of December 31, 2025, increased by $64.9 million to $152.8 million, as compared to our cash position on December 31, 2024, which amounted to $87.9 million. The net increase was mainly the result of: (i) $10.0 million of net operating cash inflows during the year ended December 31, 2025, (ii) a $61.9 million inflow of net proceeds from the sales of the M/V Ariana A, M/V Magic Eclipse, M/V Magic Callisto and M/V Gabriela A, (iii) $14.6 million of proceeds related to the sale and leaseback transaction of the M/V Magic Thunder, (iv) $51.6 million of proceeds primarily related to the new loan facility discussed below, and (v) net inflows of $56.7 million associated with the purchase and sale of debt and equity securities / investments, offset by (vi) net outflows of $21.1 million associated with the acquisition, disposition and return of capital from equity method investments, (vii) $102.8 million consisting of scheduled principal repayments under our existing credit facilities and financial liabilities, early prepayments due to sale of vessels and voluntary prepayments and $1.6 million related to payments of deferred financing costs, (viii) $4.6 million of dividends paid relating to our 5.00% Series D Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares, and (ix) $2.8 million for cash dividends paid to non-controlling interests.
As of December 31, 2025, our total debt (including financial liabilities), gross of unamortized deferred loan fees (of approximately $1.4 million), was $85.6 million, of which $7.6 million is repayable within one year, as compared to $103.7 million of total debt (including financial liabilities), gross of unamortized deferred loan fees, as of December 31, 2024, a decrease mainly due to the prepayments made in connection with vessel dispositions and voluntary prepayments of our long term debt, offset by the sale and leaseback transaction of the M/V Magic Thunder and the new loan facility.
More specifically, on March 24, 2025, March 31, 2025 and April 29, 2025, Castor made partial prepayments to Toro for its term loan amounting to $13,500,000, $34,000,000 and $14,000,000, respectively, in addition to $2,500,000 as part of the scheduled repayment of the loan. On May 5, 2025, we prepaid the amount of $36,000,000 that remained outstanding as of that date and fully repaid the loan.
On July 29, 2025, we successfully completed a sale and leaseback transaction for the M/V Magic Thunder, a 2011-built Kamsarmax bulk carrier vessel with a Japanese counterparty. The bareboat financing amounts to $14.6 million, has a duration of five years, and a purchase option for the Company, beginning at the end of the second year of the bareboat charter period.
Additionally, on December 29, 2025, we entered into a sale and leaseback agreement for the M/V Magic Perseus, a 2013-built Kamsarmax bulk carrier vessel with a Japanese counterparty. The bareboat financing amounts to $15.6 million, has a duration of eleven years, including a put option for the counterparty at the end of year eight, and a purchase option for us beginning at the end of the second year of the bareboat charter period. The vessel was delivered to its buyers on January 22, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, only the proceeds from M/V Magic Thunder are included as financial liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, as the transaction for M/V Magic Perseus was concluded after year-end.

The distribution rate of the Series E Preferred Shares was 8.75%, paid quarterly. On October 13, 2025, we and Toro agreed to the full redemption of the Series E Preferred Shares for a cash consideration equal to the stated amount of the Series E Preferred Shares plus 0.523% thereof, including accrued and unpaid distributions.

APPENDIX B
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Daily Time Charter (“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 (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 which is applicable only for our dry bulk and containership fleet to Total vessel revenues (applicable only to dry bulk and containership segments) for the periods presented (amounts in U.S. dollars, except for Available Days):

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest and finance costs (if any), net of interest income, taxes (when incurred), depreciation and amortization of deferred dry-docking costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude unrealized gain/loss on equity and debt securities and equity method investments (including those measured at fair value) and non-recurring expenses, which the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of financial statements to assess our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist our management by providing useful information that increases the comparability of our operating performance from period to period and against the operating performance of other companies in our industry that provide EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies of interest, other financial items, depreciation and amortization and taxes for EBITDA, and further excluding unrealized gains/loss on securities and non-recurring expenses for Adjusted EBITDA, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. We believe that including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance benefits investors in (a) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength. Our basis of computing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may be different from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net (loss)/ income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the periods presented:

Adjusted Net Income. To derive Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) from Net Income/(Loss), we exclude certain non-cash items, as provided in the table below. We believe that Adjusted Net Income assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period since each such measure eliminates the effects of such non-cash item as unrealized losses from investments measured at fair value and other items which may vary from year to year, for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Our method of computing Adjusted Net Income may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. The following table reconciles Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented:
