Basis of Presentation and General information:

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, 2026, 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.

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.

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, 2026, the Company owned a diversified fleet of 11 vessels, with a combined carrying capacity of 0.8 million dwt, consisting of six Kamsarmax, three Panamax and one Ultramax dry bulk vessels, as well as one 1,850 TEU containership. Castor is also the majority shareholder of the Frankfurt-listed asset manager MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG (“MPC Capital”). 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.


As of June 30, 2026, Castor had 37 wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, one wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus and one wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in Germany. In addition, as of June 30, 2026, Castor had 74 majority-owned subsidiaries incorporated in Germany, two majority-owned subsidiaries incorporated in the Netherlands and one majority-owned subsidiary in each of Singapore, Colombia, Panama, and the People’s Republic of China.



During the six months ended June 30, 2026, 13 majority-owned subsidiaries that were previously consolidated by the Company were dissolved and, as a result, were removed from the scope of consolidation. The dissolutions were administrative in nature and did not result in any material cash payments, proceeds, or distributions to the Company. Additionally, no significant gains or losses were recognized in connection with these dissolutions, as the carrying amounts of the entities’ net assets were not material at the time of dissolution.



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, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026 (the “2025 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 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, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
